here’s a blue and red flowerlike object floating inside the covered bridge that crosses the Ottauquechee River in Woodstock, Vt. but it’s not visible to the naked eye. To see it, you need to look through the lens of a smartphone.
Digital media artist and Pace University professor Will Pappenheimer created this odd, augmented-reality installation as part of June 18’s inaugural Woodstock Digital Media Festival. That afternoon, Pappenheimer led groups of festivalgoers on a walking tour through the village to view his creations, which he calls “WiWo Spinners,” after the free, public Wireless Woodstock Wi-Fi network.
The augmented-reality tour was just one of Saturday’s innovative offerings, which also included a “digital nature walk” and a panel discussion on issues in digital media art moderated by Christiane Paul, curator of new media at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Seven Days web editor Cathy Resmer and deputy web editor Tyler Machado were among the 150 to 200 festival attendees. Find Resmer’s first-person account of the day on Blurt, the Seven Days staff blog, at sevendaysvt.com/blurt. Organizer David McGowan says he views the firstever event as “a great success.” A media executive who splits his time between homes in Woodstock and London, McGowan set out to create a venue for artists and digital media-makers to share their work with each other, and with curious Vermonters.
The spinners are still there — anyone with a videocamera-enabled smartphone can download the Layar app and marvel at them. Pappenheimer has no plans to remove them, so they’ll be there until all of our fancy technology fails us.
“We were able to bring together a range of people working on and interested in digital media from very different perspectives, and so many of them came up to tell me how much they enjoyed the range of the program,” he says. “We’re already working on 2012.”

GOD-FREE ASSISTANCE
I completely empathize with North Hero flood victim Roz Payne and her experience [“For One Flood Victim, Vermont’s 2-1-1 Help Line Calls Southern Baptists,” June 8]. My Montpelier house was flooded in 1992. During that flood, the taxpayerfunded fire department spent its time pumping out businesses while ignoring homeowners. The help for residents was so abysmal that we, too, had to get [then Rep.] Bernie Sanders involved. He was a tremendous help, and we were very grateful. I am sad to see that in response to the 2011 Montpelier floods there is a fundraising effort for businesses, but homeowners are told to call 2-1-1. Huh? The 2-1-1 help line didn’t exist in 1992, but had the state of Vermont sent Southern Baptists — or anyone else — out to pray over my flooded house, I would have raised serious holy hell five ways from Sunday! If our response to disasters in Vermont is to ask for free money for businesses but send people to pray for homeowners, then indeed it is a sad state of affairs in more ways than one. I personally volunteer to travel to North Hero to assist Ms. Payne if she needs additional help. I absolutely guarantee that there will be no prayers involved. Cindy Blakeslee

LAST LETTER ABOUT MAC PARKER STORY — PROMISE!
[Re: “Mac’s Missing Millions: Plot Twists Abound in Fundraising Probe,” May 25]: Mac Parker copyrighted what is now a long-outdated, 21-page script on January 8, 2003. He never copyrighted a film. He has never finished a film. I finished the film as funded and screened by investors and applied for a copyright following an attorney’s careful assessment of my role in its creation. I have an 80-email record spanning a five-year period, which documents that role in Mac’s own words. I have proof of the date that the Library of Congress received a hard copy of that film — which legally registers that copyright. Therefore, I am the only copyright holder of the film. On May 8, 2010, Mac refused to complete the film with me, though we were only a breath away from completing it. In June 2010, I created dedicated project files for Bill Kinzie and emailed him instructions on how to get the project up as I had left it. On the evening of July 8, 2010, Bill revealed that Mac had changed the form of the film — to either a documentary or a docudrama — and disclosed that he would not work on the film until all BISHCA issues were cleared up. With investors outraged, Mac changed it back. Christopher White sent out an email asserting that this change had never

The deadline for the Legislative Apportionment Board was incorrect in last week’s Fair Game column. The group is required to file its plan with the Clerk of the House by August 15 — not August 1, as stated. Last week’s story “Onion City in Bloom” erroneously stated that Ted Olson designed the poster for the Winooski Pop-Up Galleries. That poster was actually designed by Kasini House, the presenters of the gallery. The story also overstated the Winooski Community Partnership’s involvement in the gallery. The WCP is one of several partners of the initiative, not its creator.

Ken Picard’s article [“South Burlington Residents Fume Over a Proposed Crematory,” June 15] was a perfect example of how little the general public knows about funerals, embalming, cremation, etc. As the president of the Funeral Consumers Alliance of Vermont, an affiliate of the national FCA, I commend you for asking Josh Slocum about cremation. However, I seriously doubt whether you mentioned the so-called toxic elements that would be spewed from the crematory. The nonprofit crematory in St. Johnsbury, the first one in Vermont, requires that all pacemakers be removed prior to cremation. They sell
Having learned of Michelle Obama’s upcoming appearance in Burlington from Shay Totten’s “Rally the Troops” column [Fair Game, June 15], I was wondering what troops we are talking about. Given that the Peace and Justice Center and the Progressive Party make claim to being voices against militarism and imperialism, do either plan to organize protests against her on June 30? Or is murdering other peoples’ children in pursuit of corporate profits only displeasing to peacecentric Burlingtonians when done by Republicans? Just asking.

happened. An audio recording of Mr. Kinzie is inconsistent with that email. This past January 2011, Mac began building a film again, from scratch, using different software, making it impossible to complete the film that investors had screened for three years. Mr. White claims they are completing the same film. Mac recently changed the name of the film to Return to Innocence. It now has been changed back to Birth of Innocence. After a year of Mac derailing his own efforts, I finished the film. I’ve secured a worldwide distribution deal with Sunset Pictures. They have their finger on the “go” button, right now. Investors could soon begin being paid. There’s only one problem: Mac Parker is openly trying to thwart the effort.

an inexpensive heavy cardboard box to transport the body in, rather than a coffin, and with family participation the whole process costs only $300. Embalming is certainly not done prior to cremation, and most Vermonters know that unless you are going to have a body viewing, it is certainly not recommended due to the toxic nature of the process. It is important to distinguish between how simple and less expensive a cremation is as compared to a traditional funeral, and how less toxic it is to our environment. FCA-VT has a statewide information hotline — 223-8140 — to help educate Vermonters about alternatives to traditional funerals.

The Buck Stops … Somewhere
here are plenty of people who might run for mayor of Vermont’s largest city. The question is: What will the successful candidate win? The mayor of Burlington post-2012 election will lord over a city that has been rendered dysfunctional as a result of financial uncertainty — and political ineptitude at all levels. (For a list of mayoral hopefuls, see ANDY BROMAGE’s infographic in Local Matters, page 14.) Over the past two and a half years, Mayor BOB KISS has squandered the good will of the electorate the way Burlington Telecom has squandered money. Kiss is bullheaded, but so is the Democratic-led city council. Its political mission: Get Bob. Instead of dealing directly with the city’s myriad financial problems, the council has appointed consultants, blueribbon committees and clothes for women 102 Church Street | Burlington special subcommittees w w w. e x p r e s s i o n s v t . c o m to study Burlington Telecom and the redevelopment of the 8v-Expressions062211.indd 1 6/20/11 2:45 PM Moran Plant, which led to the hiring of more consultants and more studies and more subcommittees and … well, you get the picture. It’s no wonder taxpayers have lost faith in city hall and become numb to Burlington politics. Therein may lie the secret to Kiss’ reelection strategy: Things look so bad for Burlington that no serious, credible candidate steps up to challenge him; disenchanted voters sit out the election. The mayor’s opponents often come off as disconnected and aloof as Kiss himself. Remember when the Burlington Parks and Recreation Commission reinstated a manager who had been caught reading employee emails and then lied about it — in an effort to discredit Kiss and Leopold before the 2009 election? Now the Airport Commission is essex shoppes & cinema blaming Chief Administrative Officer FACTORY OUTLETS JONATHAN LEOPOLD for screwing up the airport’s parking-garage finances. Meanwhile, they’re praising the city’s assistant CAO for coming up with a plan to fix the problem. You know, the guy who takes orders from Leopold. This kind of buck passing makes www.essexshoppes.com ADDRESS: 21 ESSEX WAY, ESSEX JUNCTION, VT | 802.878.2851 taxpayers even more uneasy as they
stare down the city’s significant tab: Burlington Telecom is $50.5 million in debt; the city pension fund is at least $48 million short; and now the airport owes at least $7 million on an overbuilt parking garage. That’s real money. The first pol who is courageous enough to offer a real solution — rather than one that settles past political scores — could be the city’s next mayor. For now, Burlingtonians are stuck with short-term political thinking that could potentially do long-term damage to the city’s vitality, and to the state’s economy. Despite its public-sector woes, Burlington’s private sector continues to thrive. In fact, Burlington’s commercial vitality and housing market have helped buoy Vermont’s economy during the recession. How long can that hold as bad

This Means War!
Vermont’s congressional delegation has various opinions about whether President Barack Obama broke the law when he decided to allow U.S. military operations in Libya. Rep. PETER WELCH (D-VT) and Sen. BERNIE SANDERS (I-VT) believe Obama is in violation of the 1973 War Powers Act, which requires a president to seek Congressional approval for U.S. military intervention that extends beyond 90 days. The deadline passed last weekend. Prior to the deadline, Obama issued a 32-page report to Congress claiming that his administration didn’t need congressional approval for the military actions in Libya. The president’s logic? The United States is only playing a support role in the NATO-led effort to aid rebels in that country who hope to overthrow MUAMMAR QADDAFI. No ground troops are involved. “The War Powers Act gives some latitude to the president,” Welch told Vermont Public Radio’s BOB KINZEL last week before Obama delivered his report. “[That] latitude has been granted or he’s taken it, but now it’s time for him to come to Congress, in my view, and comply with the Constitution.” Sanders said the War Powers Act is an important law that “has been violated many times in recent years. My view is that the president needs authority from Congress at the end of 90 days of a military engagement, and that the Congress must provide or deny him permission to continue.” Sen. PATRICK LEAHY (D-VT), who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, wants more than a 32-page report before he’s ready to take sides. “Consistency is in short supply on both sides of the war-powers argument about Libya,” said DAVID CARLE, Leahy’s spokesman, who noted many presidents have tried to circumvent the law. “Senator Leahy believes the law has an important function and that it clearly

news and political infighting paralyze the city? Any mayoral hopeful will face a daunting task. In the end, pols with loftier, perhaps statewide, ambitions may conclude the job looks more like a pirate’s plank than a ladder.
The Peace Dividend
Mayor Bob Kiss may be on the losing end of many battles in Burlington, but he scored a victory this week in Washington, D.C. The U.S. Conference of Mayors made national news Monday when the group approved a “swords into ploughshares” resolution that Kiss cosponsored. It calls on President BARACK OBAMA and Congress to end the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The mayors want the $126 billion — the annual expenditure on the two wars — to be deployed domestically. Monday’s vote marked the first time since the Vietnam War that the U.S. mayors have taken a stand on U.S. foreign policy. The resolution noted, “The severity of the ongoing economic crisis has created budget shortfalls at all levels

has implications for this situation. In policy terms and in practice, he believes the White House owes a fuller accounting about U.S. involvement and intentions in the Libyan conflict.” I’m sure they’ll get right on that.
Bully for Bundlers
A recent report by the Center for Public Integrity (CPI) found nearly 200 of the top fundraisers — aka “bundlers” — from Barack Obama’s 2008 election campaign have received special advisory appointments, plum posts and federal contracts. Not named in the article, but included among the 200, were Bill and Jane StetSon of Norwich, Vt., according to a spokesman for CPI. Jane Stetson raised more than $200,000 for Obama, which earned her top bundler billing in Vermont. She is now the finance chairwoman for the Democratic National Committee; Bill Stetson sits on an advisory commission to the Kennedy Center for the Arts. Obama had only three bundlers in Vermont who raised $50,000 or more, according to Public Citizen’s White House for Sale website, which CPI cites as a source: Jane Stetson; Charlie KireKer, who bundled $100,000 or more; and Carolyn Dwyer, who is in the “$50,000 or more” category. Neither Dwyer nor Kireker got a plum post as a result, but both have signed up as cochairs of Obama’s reelection committee in Vermont. They’re lining up major donors for next week’s fundraising stop by First Lady MiChelle oBaMa. Dwyer is a longtime campaign manager and fundraiser for Sen. Patrick Leahy. Kireker is a founder of FreshTracks Capital, a venture capital firm. He is also the former chairman of Air America Media, which ran the progressive radio channel Air America. Kireker was also one of Obama’s “mega donors,” according to White House for Sale. He donated $28,500. Obama had six other “mega donors” in Vermont: GeorGe Burrill and Valerie GrahaM, two “retired” folks living in Charlotte; Peter noVello, a Wall Street investment adviser from West Windsor; BoB Stiller, founder and current chairman of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters; and JaKe and Donna CarPenter of Burton Snowboards. Each coughed up $28,500 for some hope and change.
After the Flood
The web press that prints the BarreMontpelier Times Argus and Rutland Herald was seriously damaged on May 27, when torrential rains caused the nearby North Branch River to flood the plant. It’s unclear if the press will ever be fixed or replaced. The Times Argus offices sustained an estimated $2 million in damage. That doesn’t include the costs of replacing its printing press, valued at roughly $1.7 million, said r. John MitChell, publisher of both dailies. In addition to those newspapers, the printing press used to print two weeklies and four monthly business journals owned by the Mitchell family. Over the past 20 years, the building has survived three “100-year” floods. Each time, only about two inches of water seeped into the building, Mitchell noted. “We were absolutely flabbergasted that there was three feet of water in the building,” said Mitchell, who is trying to determine if the paper’s insurer will cover the cost of damages — and if not, just how to pay to get it fixed. The papers consolidated their printing operations in Barre about five years ago to save money. They’ve since invested $250,000 in cloud computing technology, which makes it possible for the paper to be printed offsite. Mitchell employs about 120 full- and part-time workers. About 25 have been laid off since the flood, largely because of the disabled printer. “They are all subject to recall,” said Mitchell. No one knows how long they’re likely to be waiting, though. For now, the Times Argus is being printed on an emergency basis at the Burlington Free Press, while the Herald is being printed at a paper in upstate New York. Bids have been issued in search of a more long-term, yet potentially interim, printing solution. “We’re not sure how long it’ll be until we print again — or if we’ll be able to print again,” said Mitchell. m

Run, Someone, Run B y An d y B roma g e
“So, who’s going to be the next mayor of Burlington?” As a summer conversation topic, it’s right up there with Lake Champlain flooding and errant congressional Tweets — at least among news junkies. Political blunders by Mayor Bob Kiss and his administration have created an electoral buzz in Vermont’s biggest city — a leadership vacuum into which any one of a number of wannabe mayors could be sucked. Although no one has officially declared his or her candidacy, plenty of names are surfacing — including, remarkably, the mayor’s — eight months before the March 2012 city election. No doubt Kiss’ low ratings are contributing to the number of emerging contenders. One, Brian Pine, is not only currently working for the mayor in the Community and Economic Development Office — he’s a fellow Progressive. You’ve got to wonder why anyone would want to be mayor of Burlington right now. Although the city is still winning national accolades, it’s seriously strapped for cash at
Burlington Telecom, at the airport and in the pension fund. Recent floods stressed aging infrastructure. The city council is in oppositional mode; it seems every Kiss initiative — from a proposed tax increase to Burlington Electric Department’s smart grid — has become controversial. Politically speaking, though, it’s a good time to step up. There’s no better opportunity than running against a vulnerable — or nonexistent — incumbent. Things can only improve, right? Democratic State Rep. Jason Lorber has already said he’s on board. Republican Rep. Kurt Wright, who lost narrowly to Kiss last time around, reports, “It’s more likely than not that I will run.” Who else might? All the characters below have expressed interest in one form or another. In recognition of the growing magnitude of the job, Seven Days surveyed the crowded field of possible candidates who would rule the Queen City. m

Jason Lorber
Didya hear the one about the comedian who ran for mayor of Burlington? No joke: State Rep. Jason Lorber, the standup comic who brought Christmastime Moo Jew Comedy to Chinese restaurants in Vermont, is putting himself out there as a possible mayoral candidate. His unofficial entry was a recent op-ed in the Burlington Free Press calling for a “clean slate” at city hall. The four-term Democratic legislator, who has an MBA, certainly hasn’t done anything to extinguish the buzz. On the contrary, the 44-year-old consultant is showing up at ribbon cuttings and other events with conspicuous frequency. Biggest Strength: He’s a standup comedian. Biggest Liability: He’s a standup comedian.
Mark Larson
No wonder Mark Larson’s name keeps appearing on the short list of mayoral could-be’s. As chair of the House Health Care Committee, the Democratic state rep was instrumental in passing Vermont’s recent, and potentially historic, health care reform law — a definite positive with leftleaning Burlington voters. His experience as vice chair of the House Appropriations Committee means he’s got budget-writing chops. A Boston native, 41-year-old Larson has another thing going for him: the nice-guy factor. Biggest Strength: He can say he delivered health care reform to Vermont. Biggest Liability: He’s a little vanilla. After six years of Silent Bob, Burlingtonians might want a mayor with a bit more pizzazz.
T.J. Donovan
Will Democrat T.J. Donovan, the Chittenden County state’s attorney, give up the courtroom for Contois Auditorium? Mentioned by insiders as a possible candidate, Donovan, 37, is staying mum about his plans while his office investigates whether city officials broke the law in the Burlington Telecom fiasco. He declined comment for this article. Whether he brings criminal charges or not, the probe is bound to impact Donovan’s political fortunes in Burlington and beyond. Biggest Strength: Part of a well-known Democratic family with close ties to political kingmaker Harlan Sylvester. Biggest Liability: The BT investigation. No matter what he does, he’s bound to piss some people off.
Instant runoff voting helped Kiss win a second term in 2009. Ever since, he’s been playing defense — on Burlington Telecom, on the city’s partnership with Lockheed Martin and other matters. The softspoken Prog has steadfastly defended his administration’s record and resisted calls to toss his number two, Jonathan Leopold, for improperly using $17 million from the city’s cash pool to keep BT going. Leopold finally resigned — a prerequisite for Kiss to run again — but pundits are still declaring his reelection prospects DOA. Some think the 64-year-old mayor will run as an independent if the Progs decide he’s dragging the party down. Kiss didn’t return a call for comment — leaving his status for now as “wait and see.” Biggest Strength: He still has eight months to repair his image. Biggest Liability: His name is Bob Kiss.
Brian Pine Karen Paul
She’s not an official candidate yet, but City Councilor Karen Paul has been quietly laying the groundwork to make a bid for mayor next year. If she does run — and wins — Paul would be the first political independent to occupy the mayor’s office since Bernie Sanders left the office in the late ’80s. Paul, who represents Ward 6 in the South End’s Hill Section, is a Burlington native and product of its public schools. She started an asset-management firm in her twenties and is now self-employed as a financial analyst. That stuff comes in handy when reading spreadsheets. Biggest Strength: Number-crunching prowess. Biggest Liability: No party machinery to support her campaign.
For months, Brian Pine has been quietly pitching himself as a possible candidate for mayor in 2012. A former city councilor and current housing czar for Burlington’s Community Economic and Development Office, he’s gone to bat for countless Progressive initiatives over the past several decades. Pine may be better known, though, for coaching Little League in the Old North End, where he resides with his family. Indeed, lots of neighborhood folks know the friendly, goateed Pine — a potential advantage in a crowded election where a few votes could make the difference. Biggest Strength: A vocal and articulate champion for affordable housing and tenants’ rights. Biggest Liability: He’s a dyed-in-the-wool Progressive — and it’s a bad year to be a Prog.

Kurt Wright
City Councilor Joan Shannon has been one of the most vocal critics of the Kiss administration — in particular its mishandling of Burlington Telecom. She called loudly for the resignation of the mayor’s right-hand man, Jonathan Leopold. But to some, her politics veer toward paternalism, as exemplified by her proposal to ban outdoor smoking downtown. Many have urged Shannon to run for mayor, but the 46-year-old Democrat now says it’s unlikely she will. “Everything I did became about becoming mayor,” she says of her recent council votes. “I have to keep my focus on doing the right thing for Burlington, and a lot of times political ambition gets in the way.” Still, she isn’t ruling out a run — and in politics, that means the door is still wide open. Biggest strength: It seems like she’s tried to hold city hall accountable. Biggest LiaBiLity: It seems like she’s part of an ineffectual city council.

Tim Ashe
At 34, state Sen. Tim Ashe is the youngest of Burlington’s potential mayoral candidates — a relative whippersnapper next to baby-boomer politicians like Bob Kiss and Kurt Wright. But don’t underestimate him. The Harvard Kennedy School of Government alum is a rising star in the Statehouse who has proven himself to be smart on policy and adept at politics. With his “fusion” party approach — the Dem and Prog parties both endorsed his candidacy — he could be just the guy to unite warring lefties. Will he do it? “Only fools rush in,” he quips. (Disclosure: Ashe is the live-in partner of Seven Days publisher and coeditor Paula Routly.) Biggest strength: In politics, youth translates as energy and fresh ideas. Biggest LiaBiLity: It also translates as inexperience.

State Rep, Burlington City Councilor and two-time mayoral candidate Kurt Wright may want another shot at the title. He worked hard to eliminate the system that doomed him last time — instant runoff voting — and with Progressives on the ropes, he’ll never have a better opportunity. A native Vermonter who sells ads for the Lake Monsters, the 55-year-old Republican has defied the odds to become a player in liberal Burlington. In Montpelier, he represents the city’s New North End. Under the golden dome, Wright has demonstrated an ability to capitalize on current events to advance his agenda. After a dramatic hit-and-run in Burlington, he sponsored a bill that would increase penalties for eluding a cop. “It’s more likely than not that I will run,” Wright declares. Biggest strength: Wellknown pol who can appeal to some liberals. Biggest LiaBiLity: The “R” next to his name.

hen George Schenk agreed to give Colchester High School’s 2011 commencement address, he meant for his remarks, on human sustainability, to be memorable.
They were, but not in the way the founder of American Flatbread intended. Colchester Superintendent Larry Waters described Schenk’s speech as “highly regrettable … offensive and inappropriate for the venue and occasion.” Other attendees said they were “shocked,” “stunned” and “offended” by his remarks. “He spoke in blunt language about human genitalia,” the Burlington Free Press reported. What, exactly, did Schenk say that some people found so objectionable? We may never know. At the request of school officials, Schenk himself won’t say, nor release the printed transcript. He’ll only admit he “strayed too far out on a limb” when he spoke, in graphic but scientific terms, about the effects cigarettes can have on sex organs. Meanwhile, Lake Champlain Access Television, which recorded the event, edited Schenk’s entire speech out of the video, also at the request of school officials. Several news organizations, including WCAX-TV and Seven Days, asked to view Schenk’s speech privately, but LCATV says it didn’t retain a copy. “I received a call from the principal Monday morning,” explains Kevin Christopher, executive director of LCATV. “We have completely excised the commencement address.” Christopher says his station commonly discards unedited video footage, retaining only the version that airs. That raises questions about what’s public — and what’s not — at a community-access channel. Among them: Are graduation ceremonies, which take place at taxpayer-funded schools, considered “public events” and thus subject to Vermont’s openmeeting law? What about community-access stations, which are also funded by public dollars? Is everything in the archive a “public record”? Should the recording

Fletcher Allen CEO Likely Leaving The chief executive officer of Fletcher Allen Health Care, Vermont’s largest hospital, is likely leaving to become the new chief at a Midwestern hospital, FAHC officials told staff this week. In an email sent to all Fletcher Allen staff on June 21, Board of Trustees Chairman Roger Stone said Dr. Melinda Estes “is in discussions with a hospital system in the Midwest regarding the possibility of becoming their next CEO.” Stone did not name the hospital. Estes was hired in 2003 after a financial scandal related to a multimillion-dollar renovation — dubbed the Renaissance Project — landed her predecessor in federal prison. Stone and other hospital officials credit Estes for resurrecting the hospital’s image and strengthening its bottom line. A neurologist and neuropathologist who also has an MBA, Estes is one of the highest-paid CEOs in Vermont. She earned $1.9 million in 2009, up from $700,000 six years ago. Prior to joining Fletcher Allen, she worked for two decades in the Cleveland Clinic health care system.

After questioning numerous state officials under oath last month, criminal defense attorney David Sleigh has asked a judge to toss the breath-test evidence against a client facing his fifth DUI. Sleigh argues the state officials’ testimony proves the breath-testing equipment Vermont uses is unreliable and that the state health lab’s quality-assurance standards are a joke. (For background, see “Blowing It?” May 18, 2011.) After Sleigh filed that motion, two of the three co-defendants in this case accepted plea offers for negligent operation, which comes with a shorter license suspension than DUI and no conditions for reinstatement. One of those co-defendants is an assistant attorney general of Vermont. Keith Aten, 51, allegedly tested almost three times over the legal alcohol limit when Northfield police busted him on August 13, 2010. A convenience clerk had refused to sell him beer, according to court records. Northfield Police Officer Charles Satterfield was in the store at the time. Aten works in the civil division of the office of Attorney General William Sorrell. Aten’s blood-alcohol content measured .224 on the DataMaster DMT breath tester; the legal limit is .08. Aten did not respond to requests for comment, and Sleigh says he advised his client not to discuss his case with the news media.
Last week was the 40th anniversary of President Richard Nixon’s declaration of “War on Drugs.” To mark the occasion, Gov. Peter Shumlin spoke at a press conference held by the Drug Policy Alliance, a leading drug-war foe. The governor — who addressed the Washington, D.C., gathering via Skype from his office in Montpelier — has been a proponent of decriminalizing, but not legalizing, marijuana. The Global Commission on Drug Policy earlier this month claimed: “The global war on drugs has failed, with devastating consequences for individuals and societies around the world.” Vermont’s own efforts at drug law reform have been slow going. Rep. Jason Lorber (D-Burlington) introduced a bill last session to decriminalize the possession of one ounce or less of marijuana. It went nowhere, largely due to opposition from House Speaker Shap Smith (D-Morristown). Last year, the Burlington City Council balked at putting a nonbinding marijuana legalization measure on the November ballot.

A New Collective of Artists Brings Another Circus to Town B y Pam el a Polston
R
unning away to join the circus is not quite the romantic fantasy it once was. With apologies to the kids in Vermont’s Circus Smirkus, most modern youth would probably rather win “American Idol” and get famous or invent a killer app and get rich. But the allure, for all ages, of big-top sights and sounds lives on even for those who just like to watch. Both the Shelburne and Fleming museums parlayed that excitement into popular circus-themed exhibits last year. This summer, a gang of artists in Burlington has figured out how to “join” the circus without the running away part: form a collective and name it Church of Circus. Then find a public site in downtown Burlington and plan a monthlong show of visual and performance art. “Art for all” is its motto, and “increased visibility for Vermont-based artists” is its mission. The ringleader in this project is Kat Clear, a metal sculptor who is no stranger to making public art — her work is
visible around town in the form of artful bicycle racks, a “crown” for the Queen City in the mall, a 40-foot wall sculpture at the hospital and other installations. In January Clear won the Barbara Smail Award from Burlington City Arts, and she is using its bennies — a $1000 grant and access to BCA’s studios for a year — to create a new body of work. Its theme is, you guessed it, the circus. She got right to the task of designing and creating figures such as trapeze artists — aerial variations on her earlier “Whoopsie! Grrls” series — and animals such as the elephant pictured here. All, of course, in welded metal. Though she’s having fun creating her pieces, Clear says that, this time, she didn’t want to do it alone. “For me the making of it is great, but the community around it is vital,” she explains. “I just started talking to other local artists whose work I like and respect, to see if they’re inspired by the circus. I started planting the seeds in February. Now we have a full-blown collective.”
The group’s 10 members embrace a variety of mediums, from painting to filmmaking to photography. At least one of the artists, Toni-Lee Sangastiano, is a natural fit: She’s long been painting sideshow banners based on historical versions, including some for the Shelburne Museum’s show last year. Fabric artist Wylie sofia Garcia quickly warmed to the idea of making costumes; her husband, painter Clark Derbes, was less sure how his geometry-inspired work would fit, but is thinking “some kind of grifter theme,” he says. “I kind of took on too many projects this summer, but when Kat came to me and Clark, I said, ‘You’re crazy — yes, let’s do this,’” recalls Garcia. “The seedy underbelly of the circus is what appeals to me; this illusion that you’re going to see something … a little bit sexy.” She began researching burlesque costumes — “sequins, lace, material that I’m already attracted to” — and came up with the name of Thimbelina for her outfit’s character.

In Downtown Winooski, Artists “Pop Up” to Turn Vacant Storefronts Into Galleries

here aren’t many walls in Vermont big enough for Lynn abstract paintings. Rupe’s But last Saturday she hung a 13-by-6-foot piece — a puzzle of interlocking roads, drifting dollar bills and other tangled shapes — on the wall of a Winooski Falls Way retail space that has been vacant since 2008. This Friday that empty storefront, and four others along Main Street in Winooski, will come alive with the work — much of it large scale like Rupe’s — of more than 40 Vermont artists, transforming the much-maligned roundabout area into the Winooski Pop-Up Gallery District. And it will stay that way until the end of July. On a recent afternoon, Ric Kasini Kadour, director of the art production and publishing company Kasini House, gives a visitor a tour of the galleries. It was his crazy idea to transform not one but five vacant storefronts into an entire art district when, last March, Opportunities Credit Union marketing
manager Jodi Harrington asked him for help in attracting visitors to downtown Winooski. Accordingly, on the tour Kadour makes sure to cut through — and show off — the enormous, woefully underused parking lot tucked into the block between Main Street and Winooski Falls Way. He’s just led an impromptu workshop with the exhibiting artists on pricing their work. The pop-up project, he says, is as much about offering pragmatic business advice to artists as it is about drawing visitors to Winooski. “When all is said and done, they’ll either want to run galleries themselves or hate it so much that they love their gallerists and treat them really well,” quips Kadour. That’s because the artists are essentially running their own collectives, deciding where to hang their work and how to price it, as well as staffing the galleries in shifts. About 90 applicants responded to Kasini House’s call to artists earlier this spring. About half were accepted. Rather

Art than distribute the artists among the five galleries by their chosen medium or some common theme in their work, Kadour let them organize themselves. “It just kind of worked out,” he says. “It was bizarre.” As a result, the galleries evolved organically and are defined more by the artists’ temperaments than anything else. The “quiet, painterly types” — such as Robert Waldo Brunelle Jr. and Jean Cannon — have created a thoughtful space at the Stoplight Gallery. The

“industrialists” — painter Will Patlove, who stretches his canvases into threedimensional artworks, and Timothy Cohalan, whose installations include floating glaciers and tiny clay dwellings — are in the Top Gallery. The potters, naturally, are together in Pop-Up Pottery Gallery. “From a curatorial point of view, there was almost no curation, in the sense that what you see in the gallery is really a group of artists working together,” Kadour says.

The circus, Clear says, “is just the catchall for our mission.” Not that preparing for it hasn’t brought its own rewards. “Kat and I have been doing all this research into circuses, and there’s always this feeling of impending disaster,” observes Garcia. “But it all works out in the end.” m

Winooski residents. Higgins’ work in particular has been informed by the city’s recurring makeovers, but each contributes pieces relevant to the city. Schneider’s delicate, almost floral folded paper airplanes are modeled after the F-35 fighter jets potentially scheduled for deployment in Burlington next year. Fry’s bas-reliefs of trucks carrying human heads evoke movement and transformation — not to mention the constant flow of heavy traffic that is central to downtown Winooski. Higgins’ photographs document the changing character of the Onion City, from life before urban renewal to portraits of new residents — some of them refugees — and their families. So, does the advent of this Pop-Up Gallery District signal the moment Winooski stops being on the verge and finally arrives? “I hope not,” says Higgins. “What’s exciting about this place is the change.” m

ater has been a hot topic in Vermont this spring. But mostly because there’s too much of it. On Saturday, seven dancers will gather at the Winooski River beside Burlington’s Chace Mill to draw attention to a different water issue: that an estimated 884 million people around the world lack access to clean drinking water, according to the United Nations. The local dancers won’t be alone. At 60 other locations around the globe, dancers will perform when it is 5 p.m. in their time zones. As the sun rolls away from the Pacific Rim, the very same movements will unfold in performances from South Korea to Egypt to Germany to Ecuador. The project, called Global Water Dances, has been in the works since 2008, when a group of Laban movement analysts — who use a notation system created by Hungarian choreographer Rudolf Laban to study and interpret human movement — met at an environmental-dance conference in England. They felt they could use dance to spark a global conversation. “Everybody can’t talk at the same time; that just creates bedlam,” says artistic director Marylee Hardenbergh, a choreographer based in Minnesota, in a video promoting the event, “but everybody can move together at the same time.” LuciLLe Dyer, owner of BurLington Dances, a year-old dance and Pilates studio in the Chace Mill, says the project is based on another Laban creation developed in early-20th-century Switzerland:
the “movement choir.” Dancers in Laban’s choirs would participate in the same movement, each with a slightly different personal style. The community-oriented dance events were designed to enhance social cohesion. A certified Laban movement analyst herself, Dyer heard about the global dance project about a year ago and immediately knew she wanted to take part. Over 24 hours this weekend, dancers around the world will perform not only the same work — choreographed by participating groups around the world who submitted phrases to the event’s organizers — but site-specific pieces choreographed locally. On the Winooski waterfront, performers will present a piece by Burlington Dances intern Megan Davis and another by Dyer, set to music by Vermont composer PauL WeBB. The work will be filmed and uploaded to the website, where organizers will edit together dances from around the world and broadcast a single, cohesive performance. During a recent rehearsal at the Chace Mill, the dancers hammer out their choreography. Davis reads aloud from the score, which is available on the Global Water Dances website to anyone who wants to participate. The language is lyrical and, well, watery. The dancers hunch down and huddle, “pooling together.” They separate and then, with “upper bodies sinking,” regroup, shoulder to shoulder, and begin to sway like a wave. “Now we empty to the ocean,” says Davis. Dyer sees the dance as an opportunity to participate in a global conversation about water, and also to celebrate the beauty of the Winooski falls. “Without beauty, we’re diminished,” she says, just as “without water, we are extinguished.” m

Feedback « p.7 Actually, that’s precisely what it means. As a scientist, it’s infuriating to see “reporting” on a contentious practice without thinking about the scientific method. Hypotheses begin with an assumption of a null model, i.e., that the differences between groups are no greater than can be attributed to randomness. So when a study uses statistical methods to detect an effect of a medical treatment and doesn’t falsify the null hypothesis, it means the method doesn’t work. Does that mean that people will never see results personally? No, only that the probability of seeing a result is no more likely compared to receiving a placebo. A search of the scientific literature finds many papers showing no support for NRT. Furthermore, the writer seems surprised that the testing revealed she eats too much sugar and drinks tap water. It’s like a medium in a crowded room saying: “I’m hearing something from the beyond from a John.” It works because there is a high probability that someone present has a relative named John; it is a common name. This kind of soft reporting is dangerous: At best it sends people to fraudulent treatments who will lose money; at worst, it sends people with real problems to someone who isn’t a real doctor.

I am writing in response to “Body Wisdom,” [June 1]. Since author Corin Hirsch and others had trouble identifying how Nutrition Response Testing works, I thought I might offer one possible explanation: Suzy Harris used a sudden slight upward movement of Corin’s arm in order to get a “set” muscle to relax. When the muscle is relaxed in this way, the arm can be immediately pulled downward. If this is done quickly, the person being tested is unlikely to detect the upward motion. Then, based on when Suzy chose to relax the muscle, an arbitrary diagnosis of “poisoned” was given. I can’t figure how this is not a “medical” diagnosis. It is important to note that this diagnosis had nothing to do with any of the particular molecules or compounds in Corin’s body and everything to do with the treatments and vitamin supplements sold by Cedar Wood Chiropractic, a forprofit corporation. The set-muscle hypothesis seems a lot easier to believe than the idea that Suzy’s testing and your muscle’s perceptions are sophisticated enough to tune out the many, many chemical compounds present in the glass vial, the cap on the glass vial, the heart-monitoring device, Corin’s clothing, Suzy’s body and clothing, etc.,
in favor of the supposed nutrients and poisons. Corin was given basic health advice available at any number of sources that don’t charge for NRT — such as too much booze and sweets can make you feel crappy. NRT is much like the sort of malware that pretends to analyze your computer, tells you you have 383 viruses you didn’t know you had, and then charges you to remove them. It works every time — cha-ching! Also, when Seven Days next runs a story in which the marketer of a product claims that their competitors products cause cancer and are the same as taking poison, as in “Getting the Glow” [March 16] and “Coming Clean” [June 1], some Seven Days readers would appreciate hearing from a toxicologist, oncologist or an MD instead of just those who sell the products.

Andy Bromage got it wrong [“Burlington’s Choice: Will a School Board Vote Make Socioeconomic Integration Official?” June 1]: Space constraints last year at Champlain Elementary School meant 17 families got to choose where to send their children; they didn’t “have to send their kindergarteners to the Integrated Arts Academy in the Old North End.” Many families did choose the IAA; other families chose Edmunds Elementary School. Bromage’s assertion that they were all forced to IAA only perpetuates the reactionary hysteria illustrated by Haik Bedrosian’s comment: “If we make this change, expectant parents cannot have any assurance of what school their baby will eventually attend.” What? There have never been absolute assurances. The tension between space and numbers preclude them. The vast majority of Burlington parents get their first-choice school; the rest, their second choice. And the housing-values argument continues to stun me. Burlingtonians who invest in socially responsible mutual funds are willing to fight to keep the value of their house dependent on its association to a “good school,” which, by definition, requires a “bad” school that is undesirable to potential upper-middleclass buyers. I would love to see citywide recognition that the value of Burlington as a city is dependent on six award-winning elementary schools, two visionary middle schools and a progressive high school that intentionally rejects the nationwide trend of shortsighted, test-driven, curiositysquelching institutions that call themselves schools. megan munson-Warnken

Still, Mick stayed on, tending and washing the trailers and keeping out riffraff. “I said, ‘Look, I’m here to stay,’” he says now. Over the years, Mick learned the history of his home. “Once upon a time there were oil tanks here. This was the hub of coal and lumber,” he says, walking authoritatively, his eyes darting beneath a John Deere cap. Mick’s pit bull, Mojo, now docile and panting, strolls between us. Some of the trailers are covered in graffiti tags, and a few are adorned with the swirly drawings of a local artist. All of them retain logos that reveal their former use: TIP, USPS, Diet Coke. What’s inside them? Lots of stuff. These are now storage trailers leased by Vermont Equipment Supply for $75 to $125 per month. Though they’re far from climate controlled, they’re suitable for renters such as RunVermont and ReSOURCE, and there’s very little vacancy, according to Mick. More than a dozen trailers hold

t’s been little more than a year since the Greyhound bus terminal moved from its Pine Street quarters to the airport. In its day, however, waiting passengers probably wondered about the pale tops of tractor-trailers visible beyond the wooden fence out back. Plenty of passersby still do. To make your way past that fence — adorned with American and POW-MIA flags — you have to brave a collage of unwelcoming signs: No Trespassing. No Dumping. 5 mph. Beware of Dog. That last one is no empty threat: Passing through the gate elicits fierce barking from behind a fence of plywood and chicken wire. There, a white-andsky-blue trailer sits surrounded by dozens of tree stumps, milk crates, bricks, hubcaps … and a grill. Near the front end of the trailer, an awning covers an outdoor sitting area with a worn couch and a few chairs. One of the two snarling dogs is a pit bull; the other is a Rottweiler. Despite my cooing and gentle entreaties, they won’t
let up. Nearby, a mama duck ignores them, placidly stewarding her seven ducklings across a muddy pool and into some reeds. Beyond the gate, a serpentine, pitted dirt road weaves among rows of wheelless tractor-trailers — about 80 in all. A few weeks ago, the trailers sat in murky, knee-high water that had spilled over from Lake Champlain. It was the first time Mick — no last name provided — had seen that happen in the 15 years he has watched over this reedy five-acre lot. A wiry, deeply tanned man with white hair, Mick uses the trailer (which lacks running water) as an office. It’s also where he spends most of his time. Mick is congenial; he says he used to welcome weary travelers from the bus station who smelled his grill and wandered over to say hi. Originally from Hartford, Conn., Mick arrived in Burlington about 20 years ago and slept “rough” for a while. Eventually, the land’s owner, Dennis Havey — who also owns Vermont Equipment Supply — gave Mick two Hood milk trucks to live in and charged him with keeping other homeless people away. “Basically, this was a breeding ground for all kinds of crap,” Mick recalls as we walk around, dodging puddles. “One becomes two, two
furniture and building materials for ReSOURCE, which is inundated with donations at certain times of the year. “We started with two trailer loads full of furniture” in 1997 or 1998, says the nonprofit’s executive director, Tom Longstreth. “All summer things come in, and we feed off of it in the winter.” The storage space is “convenient because it’s so close — except when it floods,” he notes. But storage and public art are not the only goings-on here: The city of Burlington has purchased an option to buy the lot from Havey and is exploring the parcel’s possibilities. “The city has some interest with regards to a couple of different purposes,” confirms Larry Kupferman, director of the Community and Economic Development Office. Those purposes include building a longplanned connector to South Champlain or Battery Street that would run along the back of the property. The ground is contaminated from the oil-gasification plant that used to reside here — and, so far, that has complicated efforts at development. What will happen to the current occupant if the city’s plans go through, or if some other developer claims this prime $500,000 parcel? “Look, there will come a time in my life when I need to move on,” acknowledges Mick. “Of course, I’m not going to stay here forever.” As he shows me around, Mick seems to see beyond the oil in the ground, the tired-looking trailers, the pile of abandoned mattresses and leftover puddles. He asks if I’ve noticed the mother duckling with her babies, and reports spotting carp in the lot during the flood. He most likely knows the place better than anyone. “This is probably one of the most beautiful spots,” Mick muses. “If we leave it here, Mother Nature will take over.” m

efore this question can be answered, we need to scrape back certain dubious encrustations: 1. “Death by a thousand cuts” is strictly a Western expression — the Chinese term is lingchi, the origin and literal meaning of which is obscure. Three dozen cuts is more like it, although I’ve seen one account claiming especially iniquitous individuals wound up in 120 pieces, which
Thousand Cuts by Timothy Brook et al. Lingchi was a punishment reserved for infamous crimes such as treason or parricide. The primary goal wasn’t to prolong the agony. Often the victim was drugged with opium; typically the executioner administered the coup de grace, a stab to the heart, soon after starting his work. Instead, the point was to make an example of the poor bastard. It’s said the Chinese had a special horror of death by dismemberment, since it meant you’d show up mutilated in the afterlife. The condemned was trotted out into the marketplace and methodically butchered. The breasts were sliced off, and hunks
flogging soldiers and sailors for minor offenses. Forces commanded by King Leopold II of Belgium, who ran what’s now the Democratic Republic of the Congo as his personal forced-labor camp until 1908, murdered perhaps 10 million Africans as punishment for not producing enough rubber and ivory. They routinely chopped off the hands of the dead, and often the living, as proof they hadn’t wasted their bullets. Criminals were publicly hanged in the UK until 1868, in the U.S. until 1936. In “short drop” hanging, the standard method until the mid-19th century, the condemned typically took 10 to 20 minutes to die of strangulation. Longer drops were later used, to break the neck and induce immediate unconsciousness. However, sometimes the distance was miscalculated and the victim — sorry, criminal — was decapitated. Prisoners put to death in the electric chair, the U.S.’ best-known contribution to execution technology, have sometimes caught fire or required repeated jolts; admittedly these were mistakes, but even now the prescribed procedure is to apply the current, then wait a bit and see if the condemned is dead. Most of this is ancient history, though. China has now achieved global parity in the correctivemethods department. True, it still puts people to death, a practice abolished in most countries. But it has plenty of company among the great, or anyway most populous, nations of the Earth, including India, Indonesia and, of course, the non-criminal-coddling U.S. m

of flesh were gouged out of the arms and thighs. After that the limbs were severed, and finally the head. The whole thing was over in maybe five minutes. Lesson for the assembled masses: Don’t be bad. Though reports of painful Chinese punishments had long circulated in the West, lingchi didn’t become notorious outside China until the publication of drawings and eventually photographs of lingchi in progress in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The grisly images confirmed outsiders’ belief in China’s exceptional cruelty, justifying Western exploitation. Which is pretty nervy when you think about it. Lingchi isn’t far removed from drawing and quartering (nonfatal hanging, then castrating and disemboweling the condemned while still alive, then beheading followed by hacking or tearing the body into four pieces), which was the statutory punishment for men convicted of treason in England until 1867. The garrote (strangulation by tightening a metal band around the neck, sometimes also involving a sharpened screw that pierced the spine) was the prescribed method of execution in Spain until 1973; U.S. authorities used it in the Philippines until 1902.

Dear cecil, Years ago I made the mistake of reading a book called The Journeyer by Gary Jennings, about the life and adventures of marco Polo. If you’re not familiar with Jennings’ work, the synopsis is simple: SEX, VIoLENcE, history, SEX, VIoLENcE. Needless to say, I read it in about a day. Jennings writes of a torture practiced in the orient of Polo’s time called “death by a thousand cuts.” Supposedly the grand poobah torturer would fill a container with a thousand pieces of paper on which were written the names of body parts. He would then pick out one slip after another and cut, maim or burn the assigned body part, keeping the victim alive until all one thousand were used up. I’d forgotten about this until I heard the phrase in conversation recently. Was this really a torture practiced anywhere at any time? Beer-is-Yummy, via the Straight Dope message Board

A Woman Scorned
he to-do over what the Burlington Free Press recently called the “purported inappropriate relationship” between Rachel Kahn-Fogel, wife of University of Vermont President Dan Fogel, and university fundraiser Michael Schultz was about suspected ethical misconduct. But it was more deeply about sex. It was, specifically, about the desires of a woman whose erotic passion rendered her morally suspect. This is not a new story. Ironically, the apparent absence of actual sex — and here I am referring to the stimulation of one person’s genitals or other body parts by another person — only increased popular and official misgivings about her. As readers of Seven Days probably know, the liaison was discovered during the divorce of Schultz and his wife, Pauline Manning. Word got out about Kahn-Fogel’s attempts at university politicking and her frustration when they failed. Her most enraged emails exacerbated the impression that her actions were not only wrong but also ludicrous, if not insane.
her morally untrustworthy in others’ eyes. But the press hung on for another reason. This run-of-the-mill, rocky office romance turned out to be too weird to resist: a six-year ostensibly erotic relationship between a married woman and a gay man in a heterosexual marriage — during which they probably never slept together. It was an affront to conventional marriage, conventional notions of sexual identity and even conventional adultery. To me, Kahn-Fogel’s is a classic case of what Betty Friedan called “The Problem that Has No Name.” Unpaid, unappreciated and unheard beyond pillow talk, relegated to arranging the seating at college functions, Kahn-Fogel was forever negotiating the territory between the flickering, reflected power of her husband — always conditional on her good behavior — and the depressing truth that she had no real influence to peddle. In private emails to Schultz, she confided her rage at what she saw as the slights of others at UVM. But in her correspondence with university higher-

Rachel Kahn-Fogel is responsible for her actions.
But her plight is also political. What did she do? She expressed anger that she was losing her assistant. Mad! She tried to get Schultz assigned to gatherings at which she would be present. Underhanded! She wanted to be publicly thanked at events she organized. The nerve! Dealing with Kahn-Fogel was no cakewalk, as Shay Totten reported in these pages. But these actions were hardly felonious, or even particularly unusual. And then there was the sex, such as it was. It is no surprise that two people who work together might have an affair. Kahn-Fogel and Schultz’s relationship merited looking into, because of the potential conflicts of interest on both sides. But those 900 emails revealed little besides ordinary consultations between workplace friends about workplace matters. It was Kahn-Fogel’s operatic emotions of unrequited love that rendered
ups, she groveled: “I understand that I have no legal rights to request staffing, but I thought you might be understanding...” It goes on. On top of this, the emails show Kahn-Fogel to be the supplicant in her relationship with Schultz — whose part in the affair has vanished along with his side of the correspondence. In newsprint, both her rapture and her rejection look silly, icky. Wouldn’t yours? The symptoms and sequels of “The Problem that Has No Name” are well documented in psychological literature, notably its prefeminist Freudian era: hysteria, depression, dishonesty, aggression, frigidity, nymphomania, delusions of grandeur and/or insignificance, suicide, homicide. Kahn-Fogel displayed some of the above. In fact, Dan Fogel disclosed that his wife has long been in treatment for “serious mental health issues.” He is, on the
one hand, pleading for compassion. But he also is implying that he has nothing to do with her marital dissatisfaction, and that her (or anyone’s?) desire for extramarital love and sex is a symptom of pathology. Craziness can exonerate you. It also eliminates other people’s obligation to take you seriously. Kahn-Fogel is responsible for her actions. But her plight is also political: This is what the feminine role — structural humiliation — does to a person. Investigators are investigating. So far, they’ve found no abuses of privilege on Kahn-Fogel’s part. Schultz’s dissertation on the unsung contributions of university presidential spouses has been declared innocent. Kahn-Fogel may have been the muse for the paper, but she is not named in it. And if she had been? Has no doctoral candidate ever used his
friends as subjects? The story broke May 24. Kahn-Fogel was “relieved of her duties.” The university placed Schultz on “administrative leave” — meaning he gets paid until he finds another job. Schultz may have a harder time finding employment as a result of the scandal. But his sanity will not be questioned. Kahn-Fogel will be remembered as a figure of ridicule. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. How often is that fury justified? m

History joins haute couture on the runway at a new Shelburne Museum exhibit B Y AMY L IL LY
P
ity the New Yorkers, Parisians and Londoners who think they exist at the center of high fashion. Haven’t they heard? This summer, Vermont has the runway of the season. Inside the inconspicuous brick Webb Gallery at Shelburne Museum, a raised catwalk is filled with mannequins dressed in haute-couture gowns designed by the likes of Oscar de la Renta, Balenciaga and Chanel. Among their spectacularly sequined, hand-corded and pouffedout ranks is a handful of frocks
carousels, wooden decoys, lighthouses and so on — founded by über-collector Electra Havemeyer Webb. The daughter-in-law of Shelburne Farms founders Lila Vanderbilt and William Seward Webb bought Shelburne Museum’s 45 acres in 1947 to house the first of her many collections: a group of 28 horsedrawn carriages donated by her husband’s youngest brother. Webb liked to dress well — she patronized New York designer Hattie Carnegie and a shoe designer known simply as “Bob” — but she never collected dresses for her museum. So, what
mother, Louisine Havemeyer, most were donated after Webb’s death in 1960. With the help of a nationally recognized costume specialist, the Shelburne team identified the six most stunning, and historically significant, dresses. Then, in keeping with the museum’s mission of tying exhibits of past objects to the present, Burks sent contemporary designers photos of all six and invited them to submit a gown from their own collections that resonated with one of the historical gowns. The team also selected Gilded Age women’s bodices, capes, pieces from

that clearly date from an earlier age but look just as dazzling: a glass-beaded black flapper dress, a courtly red velvet gown from the Gilded Age. Contemporary models strut down an actual runway in a video playing on one wall, and the throb of vaguely techno-sounding music fills the air. Where are we, again? Ah, yes, the museum of Americana — quilts,
are actual haute-couture frocks, some from the designers’ last runway season, doing at a folk-art museum? “It’s a storage project that ended up in an exhibit,” senior curator Jean Burks explains with a chuckle about “In Fashion: High Style, 1690-2011,” the museum’s newest special display. On the day before the opening, she is striding purposefully down one of the grounds’ lilac-lined paths toward the Webb Gallery. Burks and her conservation team discovered the museum had “a fabulous collection” of clothing three years ago, when they were impelled to catalog and remove some 3000 dresses from a storage facility scheduled for humiditycontrol and insulation upgrades. Aside from a few dresses made for Webb’s
Webb’s 1950s wardrobe, four men’s vests (including one from the 1750s) and an extraordinary (but select) range of women’s shoes, fans and hats to complete the historical content of the exhibit. One pair of shoes dates from 1690, making them the oldest objects in the show. 18th-century shoe

truly over. One seasonal exhibit at the Shelburne Museum runs with that theme, seamlessly linking today’s haute couture with yesterday’s. As a whole, “In Fashion: High Style, 1690-2011,” which opened last Saturday, plays with the distance between vintage and modern looks. But a section of the exhibit called “Complete the Look” takes the concept further: Each garment displayed here bridges the gap between past and present. The garments are dresses, each consisting of a bodice and skirt separated in time by at least a century. The tops were unearthed from the museum’s expansive collection. The skirts, stitched just months ago, aim to
bring these artifacts into 21st-century fashion. Behind these forward-thinking composite creations are the very designers charged with the future of fashion: current students at New York City’s internationally recognized Fashion Institute of Technology. Its strenuous, real-world curriculum attracts pacesetters looking to join the big leagues of fashion and design. Primed for “Project Runway”-style competition, FIT students vied to produce the best match for the vintage tops in a fashion throwdown devised by the museum’s senior curator, Jean Burks. GOOD FIT

With the world’s top designers churning out look after trendsetting look, always pushing on to that next new “thing,” it’s easy to write off fashion’s long history as so last season.

Of course, fashion is all about the future, too. So, extending the museum’s mission of contemporaneity even further, Burks created a contest for students at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City to design the bottom half of those late-19th- and early-20thcentury bodices. The results, and winners, are showcased in a room of the exhibit entitled “Complete the Look” (see Carolyn Fox’s accompanying story). “In Fashion” is, on one level, about pure visual pleasure. “When people walk into that main room, I hear gasps. People are stunned,” Burks notes. What’s not so visible is the work that went into creating the exhibit. “I have to say, this has been the most conservationintensive project in my 15 years here,” the curator admits. Over the course of more than a year, Burks explains, costume specialist Lynne Bassett traveled from Sturbridge, Mass., eight times, staying for a week each time to review the museum’s clothing collection with Burks, objects conservator Nancie Ravenel and two conservation fellows. During five of those eight weeks, says Ravenel, Bassett and the team “went through 100 to 150 dresses a day.” Once the pieces had been selected, Ravenel meticulously examined and researched the construction of each item. Many had been donated with no records, or limited ones. “Over the years, people just had nice things and decided, ‘I guess I’ll give that to the Shelburne Museum,’” Burks explains. What most impressed Ravenel, she says, was “just the sheer number of kinds of material involved,” including “sequins made of plastic with metal attached to them” and “metal strips used in embroidery that have been stamped.” One task involved identifying the

wide range of bird feathers used in fans, hats and one 1880s paisley cape so thick with tiny feathers that it looks like it’s trimmed in fur. That project led Burks and Ravenel’s research to the Audubon Society, which originated as a direct response to the near extinction of some bird species for the sake of women’s adornment.

It’s a little heart-in-your-stomach even to get it off the mount,” Ravenel adds, so the dress will most likely never be seen in public again. Despite all that conservation work, says Burks, “The hardest part was the concept. How do you make a cohesive show?” In the end, the idea she settled on was a simple and appealing one: a fashion show. “It wouldn’t make sense to

ments, reattaching beads and sequins, and creating the form on which to show each dress. Because gowns were custom-sewn to fit their buyers, she explains, “you sort of had to build the person.” With the help of textile arts specialist Nicandra Galper, Ravenel began the daunting project of building each form two years ago. She cut some from foam and constructed others from the chopped-up parts of commercially available mannequins.

One doesn’t just cold-call Carolina Herrera, comments Burks. Instead, the curator contacted design houses through certain members of the Shelburne Museum board of trustees who “are very tuned in to the fashion world and know the designers personally.” Burks never talked directly to a designer; she corresponded only with their assistants. “They [the designers] AFTER A FAshion

a reputation for turning aspiring designers into industry leaders — its alumni include Calvin Klein and Chris Madden — and the student competitors showed themselves well equipped for the challenge. Twenty responded to FIT’s open contest call, most of them juniors and seniors in their early twenties. In the first round of competition last fall, the entrants submitted their design concepts for three skirts as sketches. In the second round, 15 were asked to further their designs from one of the sketches, chosen by three FIT faculty members. In mid-December, eight students were given a budget of $300 to produce their garments for the exhibition by the end of March. Museum curators awarded monetary prizes to the top
18th century to today — focused on “aesthetically and historically significant ‘directional’ clothing, accessories, textiles and visual materials,” notes its website. The Fashion and Textile History Gallery’s rotating selections span 250 years, lending historical context to fashion studies. “Students walk away being able to create from inspiration, from art, from architecture, from nature. But they are also able to [draw] from history,” says Hefferen. That’s evident in the design board of recent grad Jusil Carroll, whose skirt won second place. At the time her bodice was created, in 1910, women “were subject to a wide variety of social inequality, the inability to vote being a major issue,” she writes on the board. “I decided to design the lower portion of this look to be bold, elegant and, most freeing importantly, freeing.” Taking further inspiration from the crane, a bird symbolizing both independence and beauty, Carroll crafted a loosely hand-knit black skirt that flows to the floor like feathers, counteracting the severity of the coarse bobbin-lace bodice. Instead of being tucked into the skirt, as it would have been in the early 20th century, the fabric hangs freely, creating a delicate, peasant-shirt-like feel. The velvet bodice Kyle Pearson chose spoke to him similarly. His awardwinning plaid skirt has an undeniable fun factor to it, something that stemmed from a small detail of the top. “I really liked the flounce on the neckline,” Pearson recalls as he finally stands in front of his completed ensemble at the museum on a recent Thursday. “I was drawn to that one more than the others.” To match that adornment of an otherwise prim-and-proper shirt, which would no doubt have been worn over a bone-crushing corset, Pearson designed his playful riff on a historical bustle. While he acknowledges that the gathered fabric is all style and no function — “You can’t sit down in this bustle,” he says, laughing — his entry, both edgy and blithe, is a definite departure from the past. Another look, designed by Domingo Gomez, makes a parallel effort at whimsy. But, without a nod to the past like Pearson’s, the two garments seem to struggle to connect. The bodice itself is a bit bizarre. Its muted pink-andlavender-rose print is interrupted by stripes

The winner is Kyle Edmund Pearson, a 22-year-old senior who took first prize and $2000. In his piece, an elegant, high-collared burgundy velvet bodice, circa 1906 and straight out of the museum’s collections, is propelled into the modern era by a highly structured skirt that playfully mixes plaids with royalblue silk. The colorful fabrics cascade to the floor via an angular, futuristic bustle. The hybrid piece brings to mind the bold, pattern-heavy designs of Mondo Guerra — a favorite on season eight of “Project Runway” — while paying homage to the flowing dresses of the Gilded Age. The inspiration for involving FIT students in the fashion exhibit came from an oddity in the museum’s collections. “We found that there were a number of pieces that didn’t have their skirts,” explains objects conservator Nancie Ravenel. “We’re not sure why that’s the case ... It’s possible they came into the collections just as the bodices,” she suggests. It also could be that, in the early days of the museum, the textiles were exhibited under damaging fluorescent lights for extended periods, deteriorating parts of the fabric to the point where they had to be discarded. The Case of the Missing Skirts remains an unsolved mystery, as do the identities of the makers and former owners of most of the bodices. Their incompletion led Burks to an idea: The museum would hold a contest challenging today’s designers to finish the outfits — with a fashion-forward twist. “We didn’t want them to re-create the look from 1890,” says Burks. “We wanted them to push the look [into our era] ... We always try to tie the present to the past.” That connection has become an important aspect of the museum’s seasonal exhibits. Guided by the museum’s desire to work with and attract younger audiences — and influenced by “Project Runway,” of which all of the curators are big fans — Burks pitched the project to FIT early last fall. “[We] realized we really needed to go through a design school,” she explains. “The quality would not be guaranteed” if the contest was simply open to the general public. While other schools Burks approached were “flummoxed” by the idea, FIT was already set up to hold contests with outside organizations. The school has
three finished looks, as well as to the best art board. Juggling regular classes and design projects with the contest couldn’t have been easy. A bigger challenge? None of the designers ever laid a finger on the bodices. “I’m sure they need to feel what they’re working with, and they never had a chance to do that,” says Burks. The competitors did all their designing based on measurements and photos posted to the contest website. “The students would be sending me fabric swatches that looked good on the computer, but when I got them, they were way off,” Burks says. In one case, Burks and a designer relied on paint chips to nail the color of a faded lace. The hurdle may seem unusual, but Marilyn Hefferen, assistant professor at FIT and contest coordinator for the fashion-design program, says that, these days, not having the fabric at arm’s reach isn’t such an anomaly. “More than likely, today’s student is used to working more with online references,” she explains. In this digital age, designers frequently take leaps of faith as they order fabric from all over the world. FIT students are also well versed in costume history, which is a strong part of the school’s upperlevel programs. “The students really get a strong understanding of what’s happening in fashion through all the different decades,” says Hefferen. It helps that classes take frequent trips to the nearby Museum at FIT. Founded in 1969, it has permanent collections — composed of more than 50,000 items from the

In other cases, dresses from Paris, New York or London simply arrived at the museum’s doorstep — some in basic FedEx boxes, others in specialized crates costing thousands of dollars themselves.

Pingat — she learned that the family-run House of Worth had closed in 1952 but was restarted just this year by an Italian designer, Giovanni Bedin. Bedin’s renamed WORTH Couture deliberately echoes its 19th-century predecessor’s close-fitting bodices and use of lace, updating the look by chopping off the length. To complement an original House of Worth (that fragile gray silk piece), Bedin sent a wild black-and-gold chantillylace tutu dress that’s about as long as a miniskirt. By comparison, Webb’s own 1950s wardrobe, in a separate room, looks a little humdrum. Two custom-made poodle skirts with felt appliqués depicting Webb’s New York apartment and her children’s names, among other personal references, remind one of the museum’s folksier collections. But “In Fashion,” as a whole, is closer to her vision for the museum than
of black silk and ruffled black netting. With puffed sleeves and two long tails draping to the floor, it has a costume-y feel that recalls Shelburne Museum’s 2010 circus exhibit. Gomez’s sketch of a bright-pink, fitted skirt with three-dimensional, multicolored flowers seems stylish and promising, but the finished design’s ungainly, tissue-paper-like blossoms leave the viewer a little confused. Then again, so do many pioneering looks that parade down the runway. “It’s rare, at least in my experience,
that the contest is historic in nature,” notes Hefferen. Most of FIT’s other competitions lean toward the avantgarde. “I thought it was a wonderful opportunity for the students to think in another direction,” she continues, noting that, while most of the designs were in keeping with the historical reference, they departed from the past by using unconventional materials such as feathers and knitwear. “[Pearson] got the spirit of the contest completely right,” Burks says. “He kept that idea of the bustle, but the materials and colors made it a new garment ... We all immediately thought it was fabulous.”
As for the other competitors, “They really embraced the quirky concept of the museum,” Burks says. “They were just stunned at the forward-looking nature of this place.” When the exhibit closes in October, skirts and bodices will be separated once again. But keep an eye out for the “Complete the Look” concept in the museum’s future exhibits, fashion focused or not. “It’s quite a good model,” says Burks. “I think we’ll be doing this again.” Got a comment?

From restaurants and meteorologists to yoga studios and pet daycare, this is your chance to nominate beloved Vermont businesses and individuals. To keep things fresh, we’ve added some new categories and done away with others. We traded in the musical categories that have long been dominated by heavyweights Grace Potter and Gordon Stone. We still love ’em, but we’d like to give props to Vermont’s bright but smaller stars. We also added some new food categories this year to draw attention to the state’s cheese makers, wineries and farmers. Like we did last year, we’ll give awards to winners both inside and outside Chittenden County for categories with enough votes to warrant the distinction. We encourage you to fill out the survey online at sevendaysvt.com. It’s not that we don’t like good ol’ snail mail, it’s just that we’re trying to avoid a long night of counting ballots by hand. It’ll also save us from agonizing over indecipherable handwriting.

FASHION
Andrea Miksic, owner of Salaam, in her Plainfield studio
her rings, jangling bangles and bohemian dishevelment, she’s almost the female equivalent of Keith Richards, minus the kohl-lined eyes and gravelly British accent. All the same, she looks put together, which is perhaps a testament to her clothing’s ability to transform. Miksic grew up in Queens, graduated from the prestigious Bronx High School of Science and enrolled at the University of Vermont. But her college career lasted only a year before she packed off to Colorado to become a ski bum. A nd rea Out West, Miksic became pregnant, acquired a sewing machine and began making clothes for herself. A few years later she returned to Vermont and got a job at Wild Oats, a natural-fiber clothing company based in Burlington. In 1983, Miksic bought the business and built it into a successful maternity-wear company, selling wholesale to large department stores such as Macy’s. Five years later, Wild Oats was sold to a Canadian company, and Miksic was on her own. Inspired by her studies of African dance and other forms of movement, she began making tie-dye and batik clothes for dancers, which she sold at craft shows. Her designs, made from woven rayon, were what she calls “one size fits many.” She illustrates this in her office by pulling on an old sample skirt to show how far it stretches. In 1988, Miksic and her partner, Peter Burns, purchased the old creamery in Plainfield and the former Pentecostal church next to it. On the church altar, Miksic built a stage for dancing. Today, the stage serves a different function: It holds stacks of metal shelving, heavy with bolt on bolt of bright, patterned fabric. The church serves as Salaam’s headquarters. Salaam, which means “peace” in Arabic, began in earnest in 1990 after Miksic and Burns returned from a trip to Africa. The couple created the designs and hired a team of home sewers to assemble the pieces. Soon they had wholesale accounts all over the country. Today, the company no longer employs home sewers, owing to the complications of state labor regulations. Nor do workers cut any fabric at the Plainfield studio. But the clothes are still made in the U.S. — these days, all the manufacturing happens in New York City. Salaam’s line of clothing is fairly basic: tank dresses, wrap shirts, tube skirts, all with simple, flattering silhouettes. The pieces, which bear names such as Flippy, Flappy and Cutie, can be dressed up or down. Some of the designs veer into hippie territory, but that’s Miksic’s provenance.
The company’s stock-in-trade is its patterns, which Miksic takes great pride in selecting. Years ago, the renowned textile mills of Germany and France provided all Salaam’s fabrics. They looked exotic and gave Salaam’s clothes an aura of worldliness. But many of those mills have since closed or been consolidated, and finding eye-catching patterns on quality fabric has been tough. Still, it’s what customers clamor for. “When people like one style, they want to see it in a million patterns,” Miksic Miksic explains. “Picking fabrics is what she’s really great at,” says Lorre Tucker, owner of Expressions boutique on Church Street in Burlington. Tucker was one of Salaam’s first wholesale customers and carried Miksic’s designs until the Salaam retail store opened in Burlington two years ago. “What I was always attracted to was Andrea’s sense of color,” Tucker adds. “Picking patterns is like an art.” But, unfortunately for Miksic, the apparel business isn’t only about having a good eye. Her unconventional business style — using intuition and winging it — and her tendency toward disorganization have presented challenges over the years, as has the changing economy. Salaam’s profit margins have fluctuated wildly, and its retail outlets in Montpelier and Burlington have been difficult to maintain, she says. In fact, Miksic is considering selling the Burlington store to her employees and is entertaining the idea of closing the Men’s Store, one of her two Montpelier retail locations. Still, she takes a lighthearted view of her business: “I love being creative and making things happen, but I suck at the rest.” Miksic may not be the most savvy or traditional of entrepreneurs, but she succeeds in spite of herself. Salaam does about $1.25 million in sales annually, though Miksic says none of that is profit. More than 500 boutiques around the country carry Salaam’s clothing, and the brand’s customers remain loyal. “It is the greatest clothing I’ve ever worn, without a doubt,” says Jill Leona. For Miksic, going with her gut may not be the worst way to do business. m

“I’m a real believer that, when you feel like you look good, you look good,” Leona says. “And for me, Salaam can give me that feeling that I’m pulled together, enjoying my life and expressng myself.” Because of Miksic’s commitment to making vibrant clothes for Everywoman, her Plainfield operation has weathered the vagaries of a shifting apparel market. Despite some hiccups along the way, she’s been able to guide Salaam through a tricky economy while remaining true to her original vision. But she’s had to get out of her own way to do it. Miksic is a slender 49-year-old with icy blue eyes often ringed by red, half-frame glasses. Her appearance is not necessarily what you’d expect from a successful businesswoman. On the day we meet, her long brown hair is still wet from her morning shower, and she shuffles sleepily around Salaam’s offices in red Birkenstock sandals. She takes long drags on a self-rolled cigarette as she tells how she got into the clothing business more than two decades ago. As Miksic talks, her flowing Salaam swing jacket often slips from her shoulder, requiring her to hike it back up. With all

ndrea Miksic tends to make business decisions with her gut. The Vermont clothing designer has never been overly concerned with trends or retail flights of fancy; she goes with what feels right. Occasionally, this has been to her detriment. But more often, following her instinct has served Miksic well — over the past 21 years, her clothing business, Salaam, has developed a near-cult following. That’s largely because Miksic knows what women want. Particularly, what women not inclined to shop at Hollister or Forever 21 are looking for in clothes. They want them to be flattering and comfortable, but cute and versatile enough to be worn for work or play. “I like to make clothes that are sexy but fit normal bodies,” Miksic says. Accordingly, Salaam’s devotees are many. One of them is Jill Leona, an art teacher at Barre City Elementary and Middle School. Leona, 45, raves about Salaam’s clothing with the enthusiasm of a religious disciple. Her wardrobe for the last 10 years has been almost exclusively composed of Salaam pieces, which she calls “high style, low maintenance.”

But my gear just gets a laugh from Carrie Tomczyk, the buff, blond and bronzed co-owner of Lyndonville’s Village Sport Shop. “A skirt?!” she says mirthfully. “Well, at least you can borrow my hard gloves. And you’ll need a full-face helmet — adult orthodontist bills are definitely a racket!” Gulp. A few minutes later I look like a cross between a Star Wars stormtrooper and something out of Mad Max: black bodyarmor jacket, knee and shin guards, and the full-face helmet.

mountain biking from Burke’s Sherburne Express quad and a downhill bike park. The official, ribbon-cutting grand opening is this Saturday, June 25, but my husband, Carlton Dunn, and I have come a week early to take a sneak peek at what may become the crown jewel of the Kingdom Trails. Everything is so new that Tomczyk’s coworker, Sean Wallace, is still unpacking Giant full-suspension downhill bikes in the Village Sport Shop’s satellite store at the Burke base lodge, and a Burke employee is stocking a fridge for the first time with sandwiches and water bottles. “Nice day out there,” he says. “Bugs are gonna eat.” Not us. At the speeds we’ll be reaching, we’ll be picking the mosquitoes out of our teeth. Mention the Kingdom Trails to savvy mountain bikers, and they’re likely to get that glazed-over, puppy-love look in their eyes: The 100-mile trail network is among the finest destinations in the world for twowheeled thrills. It’s also an extraordinary
result of partnerships among local landowners, businesses, volunteers, park officials and a nonprofit organization founded in 1994 that keeps the whole thing clicking. If there’s any doubt about how seriously people take the sport here, consider that a Catholic priest will be blessing the bikes at the picturesque Chapel of the Holy Family on Darling Hill in Lyndonville on July 2. The Darling Hill area contains most of the Kingdom’s singletrack, including the much-lauded Sidewinder and Kitchel. The other side of the playground is at the 3267-foot Burke Mountain ski area. Longestablished trails wriggle down Burke’s slopes, but until now, the only way to get down was to pedal up. And up, and up. All that changed last fall, when Burke and the Kingdom Trails decided to do a test run of ferrying riders halfway up the hill on the 2005-installed Sherburne detachable quad. The idea had been discussed for as long as 10 years, says Hannah WhEEl ChAiR

Collins, the marketing and events manager for Burke, but it only came to fruition with the advent of new technology. “The experience is safer and more enjoyable for all ages and abilities than it ever has been in the past,” says Collins. Certainly, it’s not everybody’s cup of tea. As Carlton and I wheel our bikes up to the base of the Sherburne Express, folks wandering in for the Vermont Invitational Lumberjack Competition look at us like we’re aliens. “Reactions have been mixed,” admits Tomczyk. “Some people are super stoked and can’t believe this is in their backyard. But other people look at the gear, and they’re terrified — What are you people doing up here?” I’m kinda wondering the same thing myself as I step off the lift after a six-minute ride, our bikes hung from hooks on the chair in front. For our virgin run, Tomczyk has warned us to stay away from a trail called Knight Slayer, so Carlton and I choose the tamer-sounding Enchanted Forest. The trees swallow us almost immediately as we carom on berms, over roots and through the mud while large cutouts of woodland creatures grin from the shadows. (I learn later that this is a beginner glade for skiers in the winter.) I’m definitely white-knuckling it, riding the brakes hard and failing to negotiate muddy spots. To get some pointers on handling the precipitous terrain, we decide to hook up with instructors Lilias Ide and Sasha Yakovleff of IdeRide, an East Burke-based coaching and trail-building company that is offering lessons at the mountain all summer. A New Hampshire native who moved here for the mountain biking, Yakovleff has spent years crafting these runs both by hand and with machines. “We have really good soil,” he says on our ride up the Sherburne Express, explaining how Burke is different from other lift-served areas. Instead of grappling with rocky terrain and removing multiple obstacles, he and others can go with the natural flow of the mountain. (There are now four runs open from the lift, but riders can still pedal farther up the mountain to access a total of 14 trails.) Ide and Yakovleff lead us down Enchanted Forest again, giving us tips on keeping our feet neutral, looking ahead and trying to stay relaxed. All right, I think — and immediately smack into a tree stump, which sends me flying off my bike onto the forest floor. Spooked at the thought of a broken collarbone and wrist — the most common injuries among mountain bikers — I balk at the next super-steep section,
and have to walk my bike around a couple of tricky turns on our descent of another trail, called Black Forest. It’s OK, insists Ide, explaining that Burke’s mountain-biking park was strategically built for 80 percent of riders to handle; the cautious can just avoid the Über-tricky parts. (Case in point: A gray-bearded man in jeans who passes us on a hybrid bike simply disembarks on a sticky, muddy section.) We’re able to handle Knight Slayer, the notorious new machine-excavated run with rollers, tabletops, bridges and drops that Yakovleff says is probably the most advanced jump rail of any resort in the country. Beth Fox, a Lyndonville local who works at Burke’s Tamarack Grill and took up downhill riding just this season, is euphoric after flying over the jumps. “Nothing makes me feel more bad ass or more empowered,” she declares. Not every moment is a test of our body armor. Our last trip down the mountain is on the easiest run, the wide, smooth Lodge Trail that winds through fields of wildflowers before dropping back into the woods. In the distance we can hear the buzz of chainsaws from the lumberjack competition; up close, I hear my own breathing muffled by the helmet. With the mowed grass, the pine trees and the promise of a cold drink ahead, this feels like the essence of summer. There’s nothing quite like the rhythmic flow of a souped-up bike swooping down a Northeast Kingdom mountain. By the time we return our bikes to the base area, the fridge is fully stocked, and Wallace has neatly organized his rental fleet of bikes, body armor and helmets. Things are quiet. But the bad-assness has only just begun. I think back to something Yakovleff said on one of our chairlift rides: “Burke has a laid-back attitude. In the winter, there are no lines, and the same goes for mountain biking — at least for now.” m

The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Sherburne Express chairlift is this Saturday, June 25, at noon at the Sherburne Base Lodge at Burke Mountain. The lift will operate every weekend and holidays through mid-October. Blessing of the bikes at the Chapel of the Holy Family in Lyndonville is Saturday, July 2, 11 a.m.-noon.

After the screening of their magnum opus, which includes a credit thanking Zala’s mother for “seven years of her life and the use and destroying of her home,” the two men took a blizzard of questions. Did their parents ever say, “No, you can’t pretend to be Indiana Jones, set fire to our basement and get dragged behind a truck”? (“We kept them in the dark,” said Strompolis.) Has Spielberg seen their remake? (He has — and loves it.) How did they reproduce shots from Raiders at a time when home video barely existed? (“We saw it as many times as our allowances would support,” said Zala. Then they drew 600 storyboards.) “Don’t take this the wrong way,” said a young audience member toward the end of the Q&A, “but how much did you guys get made fun of?” The two filmmakers chuckled. They know their claim to fame is also a testament to obsession, but they haven’t stopped wanting to make movies. Strompolis currently works on the lot at Sony, and the two have formed their own production company. “Sure,” said Zala, “sometimes [while making Raiders] I’d pause and say, ‘Am I a loser?’ But now,” he continued, “looking out at all you people at this wonderful film forum, I have no regrets.”

iners can be pushovers when it comes to ambience. Just as taste is actually 90 percent smell, visuals — whether artful décor or an enchanting terrace — can pique our senses and soften our attitude toward a meal. Glaring lights are fine if the food is worth it, but some evenings call for ambience that engages the senses. The seductively lush, art-nouveau interior of Montpelier’s Black Door has probably played a role in the restaurant’s enduring appeal. Perhaps it helped draw chef Ignacio Ruiz here from Plainfield’s Tasca. He closed that eatery this spring and hoofed it into the bigger burg of Montpelier with most of his staff. Who wouldn’t want to take over a place with exquisite 1930s details and a killer deck that’s one of the most relaxing spaces to chill in the capital city? The kitchen serves until midnight, and there’s live music in the lounge on the third floor. Former owner Phil Gentile closed the Black Door Bar & Bistro on New Year’s Eve; ostensible new stewards Michael and Laura Kloeti — owners of Michael’s on the Hill in Waterbury — planned to reopen it in late January. But that deal fell through, and the Kloetis walked away. Three months later, Ruiz reintroduced the Black Door to Montpelier’s dining scene with a Spanish-influenced menu resembling that of Tasca. The roster of tapas, large plates and sides allows diners to construct their meals in myriad ways. But they’ll want to head to the Black Door with a sense of adventure, because the dishes can be uneven: Some are subtle and delicious, while others are a confusion of textures or lack flavor. My companion and I started by trying the Sunday brunch — the only afternoon meal served here. By day, the restaurant’s brick walls, stained glass and teardrop lamps seem frozen in time. Pots of petunias adorn each table, the menus are leather bound, and the cream and sugar accompanying the dark, delicious coffee

come in ornate ceramic dishes. By the time the waitress delivered a tall, tangy, peppery Bloody Mary, we felt cosseted. The brunch menu is full of standards such as eggs, French toast and buttermilk pancakes, some with Spanish inflections and all in generous portions. A plate of steak and eggs ($12) arrived with
a sizable hunk of juicy, faintly piquant flank steak nestled alongside perfectly over-easy eggs with shimmering, deepyellow yolks. My dish of scrambled eggs with sofrito and chorizo sausage ($8) was less appealing: The eggs were a mottled deep red and quite acidic, which I didn’t expect. The
food rich sofrito overwhelmed the eggs; after a few bites, I resorted to fishing out the peppery, fatty chunks of chorizo that were the best part of the plate. The home fries — actually salty, crispy roasted potatoes — were dry, but a few spears of steamed, bright-green asparagus and Red Hen toast dressed up each of our plates. We left with bellies full. During a dinner visit a few nights later, the blood-hued interior and its long, wooden bar had a more inviting, almost illicit feel — a sexy place for drinks or a late-night meal. While waiting for a table on the deck, we spent a long time trying to choose from the exhaustive drink menu. The bar has 20-odd beers on tap (many local); a creative cocktail list with drinks such as a ginger margarita and a mojito made with blackberries; and an eclectic assortment of wines by the glass. The house sangria was perfect for a steamy night — fruity, herbaceous and subtly spicy, with whiffs of anise, plum, pear and cherry. The service was initially prompt and friendly, and our waitress guided us through the numerous tapas and specials. However, at 7 p.m., the kitchen was already out of a few things we hungered for, such as minced-seafood canapés topped with avocado and aioli. There was plenty else to choose from, but it was our first disappointment. The tapas items we ordered arrived at a relaxed pace, in keeping with the laidback vibe on the deck. But it gradually became clear that the kitchen sometimes underseasons and overcooks. A whitebean soup ($3.50), filled with chunks of tomato and zucchini, was somewhat bland. A trio of rich pork and beef Spanish meatballs ($6) was smothered in a luscious, thick tomato-wine reduction, but the meat was unexpectedly tough, as if it had been sitting under hot lights. With their lack of spice and reliance on tomatoes, the dishes seemed rather more Italian than Spanish. Some of that missing heat appeared in a dish of diced, spicy potatoes ($4), but their fiery punch was nearly drowned in a cloying, pale-yellow aioli. The latter would be better served on the side, so diners could dip at will.

Rather than compete with nearby wine shops, Spell hopes to foster a complementary and collaborative vibe. One possibility, she says, is a Shelburne “tasting night” when customers would be able to float from establishment to establishment, sampling vino.

pOpular bakery expanDs tO burlingtOn
When my LIttLE cuPcakE opened its first brick-andmortar bakery in Essex at the start of this year, owner mIchELLE truDELL told Seven Days, “It’s so funny, everyone thinks it’s a franchise.” If all goes well, by August 1, the crazy-cute cupcake store will be well on its way to becoming just that. That’s when Trudell and her business partner, stEPhanIE Lacayo, are hoping to open the second My Little Cupcake on the corner of South Winooski Avenue and College Street in Burlington, where H&R Block once resided. Why such a quick expansion? “If we didn’t do it, someone else would do it. So why not do it?” says Trudell. stonE souP, a few doors over, My Little Cupcake needn’t worry; there won’t be much competition for the café’s brownies and cookies. Says Trudell, “We’re gonna keep the focus on cupcakes.” The Burlington location will also have an espresso machine so customers can pair coffee drinks with any of the 70 or so rotating flavors of mini-desserts, including Trudell’s newest addition, banana-peanut butter-chocolate chip. People put off by the ultra-pink aesthetic of the Essex location may be more comfortable at Burlington’s My Little Cupcake. The walls will be mostly exposed brick with one giant mural, probably done by the artists who decorated the walls in Essex, nEW DuDs. In keeping with the slightly more grown-up vibe, Trudell says she’ll most likely bake full-size cupcakes every day to satisfy larger appetites. Another attraction will be later hours. Trudell is hoping to stay open until 8 p.m., two hours later than the Essex location. Though Trudell says she won’t expand as quickly next time, she has her eye on the prospect of opening My Little Cupcakes in Montpelier, Stowe and possibly St. Albans. A future franchise, indeed.

It came as a shock last April when thrEE staLLIon Inn abruptly closed its eatery just days before it was to start serving its VErmont rEstaurant WEEk menu.

When the restaurant closed, owner sam sammIs laid off 20 employees, including manager JEnnIfEr DEL rosarIo, but for her the story had a happy ending. “I got a call back toward the end of the week after the restaurant closed,” she says. “[Sammis] asked if I could help out for a little bit.” That temporary role turned into a full-time job as the inn’s manager.

Many a night, customers picking up a pizza or meal at Shelburne’s La VILLa BIstro & PIzzErIa have asked owners JILL and aDam sPELL if they could also take home a bottle from the wine list. The answer, until now, has always been a regretful “sorry,” because state liquor laws prohibit an eatery that serves wine from selling bottles to bring home. But when a retail space next door became vacant, the Spells had a brainstorm: What about an adjacent wine and cheese shop? EnotEca will need to have its own door, and it won’t open until July, but Jill Spell is giving the new place a European feel. “The definition of ‘enoteca’ is a place to taste wine, purchase wine and the accompaniments of wine. That’s pretty much what I’m shooting for,” says Spell. She’d like to relieve customers of the need to stop at different places for dinner and its accompaniment, she adds. Demand will dictate most of the wines that fill the shelves. La Villa’s customers have a penchant for California wines, but the Spells plan to hold regular tastings during which customers can place orders for wines to be picked up the following week. Enoteca will also carry cheese, and while Spell personally prefers goat’s and sheep’s milk cheeses, again she’ll cater to local tastes. “So many people [around here] do a really good job at cheese, so I think it’s going to be tied more to customer demand,” she says. That may eventually include wheels of fresh cheeses cut to order, as well as accoutrements for picnic baskets.

really hot day provides adequate excuse, I think, to quaff spirits in the afternoon. And, since Vermont boasts a growing number of talented winemakers, distillers and brewers, that “beer o’clock” cocktail can be totally local, save for a mixer or two. Whether you’re whiling away a sticky evening, trying to use up an abundance of strawberries or basil, or wondering what to pair with some char-grilled chicken, a handful of newish, locally made options awaits. (All were released in the last 18 months.) And, because summer should be uncomplicated, so are some of these cocktails.

Snow Farm Vineyard 2010 Estate Vidal Blanc • East Shore Vineyard 2010 Traminette • Shelburne Vineyard 2010 11:08 AMWhimsey Meadow Rosé Life is too short to drink bad wine. Luckily for local oenophiles, Vermontmade wines are getting better every year. Some can still be funky and sharp, yes, but watching the industry grow more adept with cold-climate grape hybrids is gratifying. The whites, in particular, are getting very strong. In my opinion, Lincoln Peak Vineyard’s LaCrescent has long been the easiest-drinking Vermont white around. But Snow Farm’s newly released 2010 Estate Vidal Blanc has already picked up one tasting award. Though it’s almost clear in the glass, it tastes of pears with a citrus undertone, and could ably wash down seafood. East Shore Vineyard’s 2010 Traminette, made in Grand Isle with grapes grown in the Finger Lakes, is a muscular local choice for those who love viognier or gewürztraminer: spicy and punchy, intensely aromatic, and so full of personality it’s almost a meal in itself. For those who want to sip something a bit more substantial but still cold, the ruby-hued 2010 Whimsey Meadow Rosé from Shelburne Vineyard smells and tastes of strawberries, and its clean acidity can cut through any blackened, greasy pieces of grilled flesh you put in its way.

With notes of anise and honey, it’s unusual but elegant. Cocreator Deirdre Heekin suggests drinking Orleans straight up or topped with prosecco and a spritz of lime. I think of it as similar to Lillet, so I used some Orleans in a Vermont version of the Vesper, the drink James Bond invented in 1953’s Casino Royale. Combine two parts Green Mountain Distillers Gin, two parts Orleans and one part Smugglers’ Notch Distillery Vodka, and shake with ice until chilled; strain into a martini glass with a twist of lime. It might knock you out, but with panache.
HOPPIN’ MAD SHANDY… Mountain Distillers Sunshine Vodka (from down the road in Stowe), it’s worth tossing around with local produce — in particular, a handful of fresh strawberries and basil. For this drink, take three strawberries and two or three basil leaves and muddle them together at the bottom of a tumbler. Add one teaspoon of simple syrup and three ounces of vodka; stir and let rest for 10 minutes or so. Add ice, squeeze in the juice of half a lime or grapefruit and fill the glass to the top with seltzer or a sparkling wine such as cava. Be aware that more than one of these is likely to make you drunk. If you don’t like bits of strawberry in your teeth or prefer a stronger-tasting elixir, you can muddle and mix in a drink shaker with ice, then double strain into a martini glass.
Trout River Hoppin’ Mad Trout ale and bitter lemon In England, a shandy — a half-and-half mixture of beer and fizzy lemonade — tends to be a ladies’ drink, a demure beer to have in the afternoon. I think its appeal is underrecognized on this side of the pond. Who wouldn’t love the zestiness and buzz you get from beer paired with the sweetness and acid of lemonade? After playing around with a few summery Vermont brews, I settled on a half-and-half combination of Trout River Hoppin’ Mad Trout ale and Fever-Tree Premium Bitter Lemon Tonic — a little bit tart, a little bit sweet.

GOT A FOOD TIP? FOOD@SEVENDAYSVT.COM
Behind the Door « P.42 The garlic mushrooms ($9) were sufficiently garlicky and earthy, but because the accompanying slices of bread were barely toasted, the plate was too wet. The kitchen could easily halve this dish in price and portion size and serve it as a tasty topping for crostini. The entrées saved the evening. The seafood stew ($16) was a generous heap of plump scallops, chunks of salmon, calamari, clams, shrimp and mussels, all resting in a fragrant puddle of golden-yellow fish broth that tasted of saffron, cream and a hint of white wine. It was zesty and lively, but also subtle and sweet; the sauce highlighted the fish’s flavors without overwhelming them. As the burgers at the previous Black Door were legendary, I couldn’t resist ordering one. Oozing, juicy and enormous, the fist-sized hunk of grassfed beef ($12) came more rare than I expected but was bursting with flavor. The Manchego cheese melted across the top added a creamy nuttiness, and the fluffy, garlicky aioli was an addictive dip for the crisp fries. The burger’s size, however, was daunting; it was so
towering and drippy that the brioche bun began to fall apart in my hands. Each large dish comes with a salad — in my case, wilted spinach studded with raisins and a generous helping of toasted pine nuts. The dressing was nondescript, but the greens tasted incredibly fresh. We barely had room for dessert or coffee, which was fortunate, because the waitress, who became scarcer as the evening wore on, delivered the bill without offering either. When pressed, she told us the restaurant had already run out of all three desserts — a chocolate lava cake, a poached pear and a cheesecake. It was 9 p.m., and most of the tables on the terrace were full. It seemed we would all have a sweet-free evening. When we drifted back onto the street, we felt only half satisfied. The produce at the Black Door is local and fresh, but it is sometimes prepared in ways that suggest indifference to texture and seasoning. I feel compelled to try the place again, though, if only because it offers a versatile menu, generous portions for the price, and a chance to nurse a sangria on the deck while also drinking in the view and the setting sun.

Green Mountain Distillers Gin is distilled in Stowe, and though it’s been around for more than a year, I think it qualifies as new booze. It plays just as well with bitter lemon as do its yeasty friends. Pour some gin to taste into a tall, cold glass, add three times as much fizzy bitter lemon and garnish with a sprig of mint. This one pleases in-laws, or the bluerinse crowd.

usually find them kind of thin, akin to water. Hefeweizen is my light beer of choice, winter or summer. But this summer, Harpoon Brewery Island Creek Oyster Stout is on my mind, perhaps because I didn’t expect the brewery to reprise it after last spring’s release in the 100 Barrel Series. It must have proved popular. The concoction is dark, but it’s brewed with real oysters and hence reminds me of the beach. And it has a chocolatey goodness that’s very addictive. Hill Farmstead Double Citra IPA is a great hot-afternoon brew that doesn’t skimp on personality. At 8 percent alcohol, it’s got a kick — but the flavors of citrus, grass and caramel make it a summer beer, even if it isn’t called one. The issue is finding a growler of it — by the time you figure out where, it could be gone.

local homes. Their two-day “parents” are given a list of their favorite foods and contracted to provide them with a daily hearty breakfast and postshow snack. That takes some pressure off the pie car, though, from the troupers’ point of view, their hosts’ attention to personal preferences can backfire. Head counselor Willow Yonika, herself a Smirkus performer from 1999 to 2001, recalls a fellow trouper who was served mintchocolate-chip ice cream every single night of the tour, based on his request
list. “It wasn’t his favorite by the time the tour was over,” she says. While the pie car doesn’t need to supply troupers with every meal on tour, it still has crew members to feed. Schroeder makes sandwiches until 2 a.m. on nights when the tents are torn down. She’s back up making breakfast early on “jump days” when the whole setup process starts again at a new location. Keeping the tiny trailer stocked for seven weeks of touring is no easy matter, but Schroeder says she savors the challenge. “I really enjoy the tour,” she says. “It keeps you on your toes. It’s definitely not standard to pick up and unpack a whole kitchen every two days.” Before leaving Greensboro, the home base of Smirkus, Schroeder packs the pie car’s standard-sized home refrigerator as full as she can and hopes for the best.

make it without that and say, ‘That’s the pie-car version.’ A lot of this is just figuring out how to make it work.” “Making it work” entails providing plenty of sustenance to help performers replenish the calories they burn during their strenuous days, but no fatty comfort food is on the menu. Some recent Smirkus meals have included fiddlehead risotto, sweet-chili-and-coconut tofu and chicken paprikash. And that was just lunch. The midday meal at Smirkus tends to be heartier than dinner, to give troupers energy for the rest of the day’s training. Last week’s enchiladas, baked in tangy tomatillo sauce, were a typical dinner. Schroeder and her staff filled the flour tortillas with beef or mashed homemade black-bean burgers and cut them into small servings, leaving plenty of plate space for sides. Those included sautéed kale, broccoli rabe, mustard greens and baby chard, homemade salsa fresca, and colorful, burstingly fresh corn, tomato and cilantro salad with lemon-lime dressing. “One of the challenges is, kids aren’t used to these spices and ingredients. They’re used to comfort foods at home,” says Yonika, who makes sure all of her charges consume enough food to power them through the day. However, she adds, Smirkus has no problem with picky eaters. Troupers learn to love the pie car’s sophisticated grub. Emma Rogers, 15, and Al Mireault, 17, are among the troupers who rave about the pie car. “I love it!” says Rogers, her big eyes lighting up. “It’s typically scrumptious,” adds Mireault, a third-year juggler and acrobat from Waterbury Center. “The oatmeal this morning was the best — blueberry crisp oatmeal!” exclaims Rogers, an acrobat and aerialist from New Hampshire. “You wish you had it,” Mireault tells a visiting reporter. “Did you have the smoothie? It’s so good, I’m almost crying.” What Mireault doesn’t know is how, performing its own version of a highwire act, the pie car staff prepared his favorite on the fly. m

She tries to work with local purveyors at tour stops who are willing to deliver at unconventional times. Community donations also help feed the circus. Last year, one trouper’s father sent a share from his CSA when Smirkus landed in town. La Panciata bakery of Northfield recently donated a large supply of bread to the organization. That was a special boon, says Schroeder, because “we go through toast like it’s going out of style.” Schroeder cares about serving as much local food as possible. “It’s great when we have that really local stuff, making it like you’re at home,” she says. “Our main goals are to get the food out healthy and in the right quantity, but also getting the love and soul of the food. [Local] helps us accomplish that goal even more easily.” Salads containing Pete’s Greens produce from nearby Craftsbury are available at almost every meal served in Greensboro. Schroeder also uses Vermont maple syrup as a sweetener. Getting creative with limited resources is nothing new to Schroeder. Though she says she doesn’t specifically seek out food-related jobs, cooking has played a major role in her nomadic lifestyle. She honed her culinary chops feeding kids at summer camps and academics on field studies. “The great thing about food is, everyone eats,” she says. “There are always opportunities to meet cool people and see beautiful places.” Schroeder was traveling abroad last year when she realized she would need a job when she returned to the States that summer. Thinking it would be fun to work at a circus, she did an online search. Circus Smirkus was the first result, and she joined the pie car as a cook. When the head cook chose not to return for the 2011 season, Schroeder got the job. Luckily, when it came to the job’s greatest challenge, she was already an old hand. “For me,” Schroeder says, “the biggest thing was learning how to look at coolers and saying, ‘What can we do with this?’” Before heading to Greensboro this year, Schroeder gathered all the cookbooks she could fit in the trailer, ranging from Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian to Guy Fieri Food: Cookin’ It, Livin’ It, Lovin’ It. She also hit the website food52. com and printed out 600 of her favorite recipes. They now live in a binder, divided by ingredients. Usually, though, dishes end up being improvised. “We pull the cookbooks from the shelf — but we don’t have this,” says Schroeder, pantomiming the terror of a cook realizing she lacks the proper ingredients to make a recipe. “We’ll

When saxophonist Jay Beckenstein threw out the name “Spirogyra” for his jazz-fusion group in the 1970s, he did so as a joke. Generally known to mean “pond scum,” the word was just something that came to mind from biology class. But the moniker, misspelled by a nightclub, stuck — and so did the band. Thirty-some years later, the members of Spyro Gyra likely got the last laugh, with more than 25 albums under their belts and a dozen Grammy nods. Weaving in influences from R&B, Latin music, funk and pop, the flashy instrumentals on their 2009 recording Down the Wire sum up the band’s accessible take on jazz.

eggie Watts is an amalgam of many things. Generally considered a musician/comedian hybrid, New York magazine calls him a “half-man, half-astralfunk Muppet.” And he’s got the hair to back up at least one of those claims. Watts, who was handpicked by Conan O’Brien as the opening act for 2010’s Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour, is known for his absurd monologues and on-the-spot musical numbers created with a looping pedal. The chameleon’s ever-changing act means his two consecutive solo shows at Dartmouth College on Tuesday will likely feature a completely different roster of personae, accents and songs.

BED is asking for voter approval of two ballot items at the June 28 special election. No. 1 is a request for a revenue bond. No. 2 requests approval of a power contract. The $13.575 million revenue bond would fund:
1. $7.2 million to pay for half of BED’s smart grid project (a DOE grant is paying for the other half); 2. $2.675 million for an equity investment in VELCO with a 12.5 percent rate of return to help offset transmission cost increases; 3. $2.7 million for necessary upgrades at the Highgate Converter Station connecting Quebec to Vermont (BED owns 7.7%). BED must cover the cost upfront but will be reimbursed for the investment over the upgrade’s 30-year life. 4. $1 million for a required Debt Service Reserve. These projects will align project costs with anticipated revenues and help maintain rate stability over the long term.
The contract is a purchase from Hydro-Quebec:
5 megawatts from 2015 to 2034 4 megawatts from 2020 to 2038 This represents between 9% and 18% of BED’s energy needs in any given year. The cost will vary according to a pre-defined formula but begins at $58.04 per MWh. Comparable renewable options in New England would cost $80-$100 per MWh.

ex and rock and roll go together like coffee and cigarettes. But sex and accordion? Well, traditionally, they’re matched like decaf and an asthma inhaler. However, a new audio-visual project, dubbed Accordion Babes, is challenging longheld misconceptions of the instrument as the province of dorks and other assorted dateless wonders. The centerpiece of the project is a compilation album featuring songs by a baker’s dozen accordion-playing women and their bands. It is an eclectic and unpredictable sampler of folk, klezmer and rock that reflects the instrument’s remarkable versatility. The album is interesting; the packaging, even better. The Accordion Babes album comes attached to the back cover of a classically styled pinup calendar, featuring each of the 13 ladies in varying states of provocative dress. Or undress. With their accordions. On Wednesday, June 29, two of the Babes — songwriters Amber Lee Baker and Renée de la Prade — will perform at Burlington’s Radio Bean. In a recent phone interview while en route to Houston, Baker, who is based in Santa Rosa, Calif., says she came to the accordion circuitously. As an aspiring songwriter in her early teens, she struggled to find her voice through the more traditional guitar or piano. “I didn’t like how my songs were coming out,” Baker says. “They just sounded really cheesy and silly to me.” She adds that her background in classical piano saddled her songs with a “fuddy-duddy” quality. “It didn’t feel very interesting or creative,” Baker adds, then concedes, “I wasn’t a very good piano player.” She happened upon an accordion at a music shop in 2002 and says it was love at first squeeze. “It was an immediate recognition that I liked the sound,” Baker explains. “I liked the way it felt vibrating against my body. It has this soothing feeling.”
She also jived with the instrument’s layout — being able to play melodies with the keyboard on her right hand and using the buttons on the left to play chord progressions underneath. “The button organization made a lot of sense to me,” Baker says. Playing accordion opened her up to a whole new world of music, and changed the indie-folk songwriter’s approach to her original tunes, as well. “It simplified things for me,” she says. “It made me want to write songs I felt good about.” De la Prade founded the Accordion Babes’ calendar in 2008. Her father, who was born in Barre, Vt., was also an accordionist, though she didn’t pick up the instrument until 2000, while attending the Berklee College of Music. Still, de la Prade says rediscovering the instrument was similarly revelatory. Prior to playing the accordion, de la Prade was a guitarist and pianist who primarily played Irish music — a style in which the guitar, specifically, often takes a rhythmic role more than a melodic one. “I wanted to play melodies and harmonies,” she says, adding that when playing guitar or piano she felt pressured, as though she “was always trying

De la Prade adds that she was once an angry teenager. “And now you’d never know I was one of those gothy, depressed kids,” she says. “Accordion had a lot to do with that.” Her appreciation for the instrument’s friskiness is evident on the record with her rousing contribution, “The Land of Lost Things.” It’s also more overtly evi-

to impress somebody.” But accordion afforded her the freedom to loosen up. “Every instrument has its own personality, and each can bring out the personality of the person playing it,” de la Prade says. She credits the accordion with helping her find her voice. “It made me more comfortable,” she says. “And I had no illusions of trying to be cool. It was just fun.”
dent in that scintillating little calendar. De la Prade’s pinup photo is an eyebrow-raising celebration of the accordion’s playful and, yes, sensuous side. Think polka band meets SuicideGirls. But she stresses the point is not to fetishize the instrument — or the models, all of whom are working musicians. “It isn’t really just about admiring people in sexy outfits,” de la Prade says.
“You turn on most radio stations and the music sounds so calculated and dead. The stuff that we have is alive and raw. So the function of the calendar is to get the CD out there.” Still, the Accordion Babes project does trade on sexuality, though not solely of the scantily clad ladies. “The accordion is sensuous because it’s breathing. It’s alive. You have to give it oxygen. It feels like a breathing animal,” says Baker. “It’s a very sensual experience playing it. The way it moves, it gets bigger and smaller. It’s fun to watch as an audience member. The dynamics of it make it interesting. You can make it loud, you can make it soft. It growls,” she continues. “There’s something about the reeds and the tone that is very sensual to me. De la Prade suggests the relationship with her instrument goes even deeper. “If you have a choice between an accordion and a girlfriend, get an accordion,” she says. “It will always be there, no matter how drunk you were the night before.”

through the mammoth CMJ guidebook to plan my attack. While marking down a few highlights and noting some other bands I had been curious about, I stopped dead in my tracks. A battalion of butterflies erupted in my stomach as I gleefully reread the oneinch-high blurb over and over. Neutral Milk Hotel. At CMJ. Tonight. Ohmigodohmigodohmigod… I texted some NYC friends about the show, as well as some Burlington folks I knew were in town. I also contacted a connection at CMJ about finding extra tickets. Then, I raced to Facebook and Twitter to share the news that I, dan “that guy from the Seven Days” Bolles, was about to go see one of the most fabled, influential and elusive indie acts of the last 25 years. I even thought about “liking” my own status update, so pleased with myself was I. (An aside: Can we all agree that “liking” your own status update is basically social-media masturbation and should be strictly forbidden? Facebook is already enough of an exercise in self-gratification.) Then, I received this text

swear. I regularly feel like an idiot, but rarely as much as in that exact moment. A truly classic blunder. Anyway, I told you that story to tell you this one… A few weeks back, a friend mentioned he had heard grumblings that a certain local booking collective — the one that rhymes with “Mangioplasty” — had an in on snagging NMH front man Jeff ManguM, who was planning to tour this summer for the first time in, like, forever. Or at least in quite a while. NMH broke up in 1998, and Mangum has since become a J.D. Salingeresque recluse. If this were true, it would be just about the biggest local music news since the last thing grace Potter did. Maybe bigger. Definitely bigger. (Need proof? Stereogum.com recently reported that tickets for one of Mangum’s NYC shows are selling on eBay for $5600. Really.) Well, guess what? This week, Angioplasty Media and MSR Presents announced that they had indeed scored Mangum to play in Burlington. Coincidentally, AM’s nick Mavodones was one of the folks I texted in the great Neutral Uke Fiasco of 2010. We haven’t spoken since.

Funny story. Last fall, I attended the rock-and-roll-industry orgy known as the College Music Journal Music Marathon — or more informally, “CMJ.” It was, in a word, totallyfuckingrad. In a few more words, in the span of about four days in NYC, I took in more music than most normal people see in a year. And I still only caught a fraction — of a fraction — of the citywide bounty of riches the showcase has to offer. Amazing. Obviously, with so much to choose from, it is important to have at least some semblance of a game plan going in. You can’t help but stumble upon great new music, but identifying a few key stops along the way helps lend structure to the journey. Otherwise your average night turns into one of those old “Family Circus” cartoons where Jeffy wanders all over the neighborhood — only with more booze … presumably. One afternoon before heading out for the evening, I was flipping

When most artists claim influences, they mention other great artists. Not JOHN ELLIOT, aka OUTER SPACE. Instead, he claims an elemental force: electricity. His bio reads, “Elliot’s music is deeply indebted to the inner workings of the electric signal.” No kidding. Elliot will appear at the BCA Center this Thursday as part of a high-voltage showcase of experimental electronic music, curated by — who else? — Burlington’s GREG DAVIS. The show will feature a trio of Baltimore-based electronic composers, including DAN DEACON collaborator ANDREW BERNSTEIN, electronic “string theorist” OWEN GARDNER and
filmmaker MATTHEW DAY. The gist is that Day captures artists behind the scenes, just kind of hanging around. He then edits in a rough-edged — or what Day calls a “rustic” — music video to tie it all together. Pretty neat stuff, and not unlike a hyper-local version of La Blogotheque’s Take Away Shows. This Saturday at the BCA Center, Day will showcase several of the videos he’s done, including shorts of locals PAPER CASTLES, CHAMBERLIN, KAT WRIGHT AND BRETT HUGHES, the CRACK UP, and BOB WAGNER, among several others. He’s also filmed a few nonlocal acts, including BTV expats RUBBLEBUCKET and MARCO BENEVENTO, and one visual artist, Burlington’s CLARK

What makes bluegrass tick? That is never an easy question to answer with music in general. And it’s more challenging with a curious bluegrass band such as Tumbling Bones than it would be with, say, your average 12:31 PMblues outfit. Seeing as these three are descended from Philly-based indie rockers the Powder Kegs, you’d expect their foray into American roots music to be interesting. After all, the Kegs began life as a bluegrass collective that evolved into an indie band by aiming to meld the strange with the saccharine using a deft, modern approach. However, on their debut EP, Risk Not Your Soul, Tumbling Bones go back to their roots. Way back. On this collection of six age-old standards, the band digs into the roots of Americana itself. Tumbling Bones claim to search for the grit that lies at the genre’s core. Then they strip away everything else and drag it back to the present. The EP opens with a barnstormer, “Banks of Jordan.” The song hits like a giant slab of raw meat to the face — so raw it seems alive and breathing. But its visceral stomp holds up to repeated plays. Here, vocalists Peter Winne and Jake Hoffman — also on guitar and banjo duties, respectively — show off harmonic chops and slash away at their strings. They slice and dice this African American spiritual, leaving any signs of subtlety or picking virtuosity by the wayside. The down-and-dirty approach is spread a little thin over the next five tracks. However, Tumbling Bones cling to that aforementioned grit when things simmer down. On “East VA Blues,” Winne digs deep into the ballad’s guitar part to prevent it from just floating along. “St. Louis Blues” has a slow, hazy strut with some hot-summer-afternoon banjo and fiddle licks. Instrumentals “Sally Johnson” and “Salt River” are strange beguilers, allowing Sam McDougle ample time on the fiddle. Though upbeat, they don’t quite hit like “Banks of Jordan.” With repeated listens, though, the tunes sink in and feel less like stylized fiddle 12:06 PM workouts than honest explorations

of seminal bluegrass. It doesn’t take a musicologist to know that this is simplistic stuff for the genre, but it’s supposed to be. Tumbling Bones make sense of the music in an embryonic kind of way. If the band hasn’t yet found that beating heart of early bluegrass and roots music, it’s close. Tumbling Bones’ approach is enticing, and Risk Not Your Soul succeeds the way many debut EPs do: It doesn’t always sound great, but it feels pretty damn good. Tumbling Bones play Nectar’s this Tuesday, June 28, opening for 14 West.
pleasant voice. She also has a knack for melding jazz melodies and pop constructs. But too frequently, she sullies otherwise suitable performances with curiously bizarre choices. Take the opening cut, “Mourning Dove.” For the most part, the song is a breezy, sweetly melancholy ballad. While she’s not breaking any molds lyrically, Hammers’ avian metaphor imparts the necessary degree of heartbreak, as does her airy melody. That is, until her piano progression is met by, ahem, a birdcall, played off key on an uncredited woodwind. The effect is jarring. Similarly, on the following song, “Oh Baby, Baby,” Hammers’ decision to speak rather than sing “I love you” as the final line cheeses an otherwise touching number. Album highlights are those moments when Hammers simply allows her natural gifts to shine. “Bungalow Baby” is a bouncy, Randy Newman-esque
HENRY SOULE
Dawna Hammers, Love & Loss (SELF-RELEASED, CD)
There is a time and place for almost any kind of music. Feeling angry? Try heavy metal. Depressed and maybe drunk? Early Tom Waits. In the mood for dancing to vapid pop? How ’bout some Lady Gaga? Hell, there’s even a time and place for Toby Keith’s over-the-top, flagwaving abomination, “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue.” To every season, turn, turn, turn. But sometimes, figuring out when and where certain music should exist is particularly challenging. Such is the case with local songwriter Dawna Hammers’ fifth album, Love & Loss. A mishmash of smooth vocal jazz and piano-driven, melodramatic pop, her latest feels like a record out of time. Though it has some nice moments, the album’s heavy-handedness often weighs it down. Like a frustrated lounge singer eternally stuck playing in a 1970s hotel bar, Hammers can’t seem to get out of the way of her own ruminations on romance and love gone bad. It’s not that she lacks talent. Hammers is a solid player and has a
charmer. “How Could You?” is an effectively moody heartbreaker, as is “Surrender.” Her take on Joni Mitchell’s “River” does the famed folk singer justice. “Shattered Dream” is dark and brooding, and ambitious enough to make one wonder why Hammers doesn’t just rely on the strength of her songcraft, instead of employing contrived machinations. Like birdcalls. Indeed, there is a time and place for everything, even lounge-y dinner jazz. For example, at Parima’s Acoustic Lounge this Thursday, June 23, when Dawna Hammers releases Love & Loss. No cover if you buy dinner. DAN BOLLES

Picturing the Past Richard W. Brown at Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery
T
asha Tudor (1915-2008) was an odd figure. The eminently popular children’s book author and illustrator resided in southern Vermont with a menagerie of corgi dogs, cats, parrots, goats and doves. Tudor said her lifestyle was centered on existence in the 1830s; she dressed in 19th-century attire and lived anachronistically on a farm equipped with a spinning wheel, loom and wood cookstove. Gardening, canning and gathering wood were among her pursuits. Tudor was about as picturesque a Vermonter as any photo-essayist could ask for, and the prominent rural-life photographer Richard W. Brown, based in the Northeast Kingdom, spent 10 years exploring her environment. But his series, “Tasha Tudor’s World,” now on view at Shelburne’s Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery, is not just fodder for picture books about Tudor’s life. The 15 images have as much to do with formal photography as with documentation. “Tasha Janice Foxgloves” has the look of an early figurative daguerreotype, with Tudor and a girl standing beside three tall foxglove stalks. Tudor is watering the flowers with a bucket; the girl, Janice, wears a frilly white dress. She could pass for Alice in Wonderland.

and the surrounding vegetation has a subtle green cast. That minimal use of color is effective in highlighting elements of Brown’s compositions. In “The Antique Sled,” a battered red sled leans against a tree in the foreground of the winter scene, and the sky in the background also has a rosy tinge. In another winter scene, “Shaker Cape,” Tudor wears a scarlet cape, and a vibrant sky hangs over the English barn and outbuilding, modulating from red near the horizon to icy blue at the top. The show contains a few simple floral pieces without figures. Brown composed these as closeups, focusing on textures such as wrinkles in the petals. The five blossoms in the vertical composition “Lilies” appear against a textile background designed with a subtle floral motif. It’s also slightly tinted. “Parrot Tulips” is black and white, yet seems like a Georgia O’Keeffe view of the flowers, with stark, contrasting values. Tudor died three years ago at the age of 92, but her illustrations and books about her fabled lifestyle remain popular. Brown’s masterful photographs are sure to help sustain her legacy, and to enchant any Tudor fan.

ing with his interest in the archaic. In his artist’s statement, Brown writes, “When I photograph Vermont, I am drawn to the last remnants of hill farm life, and the hidden, still wild corners of the state.” Tudor’s place was just such a remnant. In “At the ‘Canopy Grand’ Cook Stove,” Tudor stirs a small pot in her kitchen. Copper pots hang on the wall, and a large grandfather clock stands in the background. Tudor wears a bonnet; as if she were a backwoods pirate, a gray parrot rides on her shoulder. An
electric light stands on a small table in the foreground, evidence that Tudor allowed at least a little modern practicality. Most of Brown’s images are in silvery black and white; others are minimally colored. He uses digital photography and isn’t afraid to manipulate the technology. Passages that appear to be hand tinted were actually digitally altered. In “Lupines, Toggenburges,” for instance, a big patch of purple lupines stands in the foreground. Tudor, who has rounded up four goats, is wearing a pale red apron,

GREEN PEACE Reynolds plays the first human to join an intergalactic force that polices the cosmos in this superdud from Martin Campbell.
Green Lantern ★★
I
n the season’s latest superhero spectacle, director Martin (Casino Royale) Campbell ironically displays the same inexplicable affliction that affects his main character: a total failure of imagination. Given $200 million to play with, the filmmaker is at a loss to deliver a single memorable image or moment. Given a ring with the power to create anything his mind can envision, newly recruited savior of the universe Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) finds himself incapable of thinking up anything terribly interesting. For a movie named after a light source, Green Lantern suffers from an appalling dearth of ideas that anyone over the age of 10 would be inclined to characterize as bright. How does this DC adaptation disappoint? Let me count the ways. First, its writers appear to have scoured more than 70 years’ worth of the comics’ back issues to distill the least intriguing elements of the emeraldsuited figure’s mythology. Before Jordan begins his career as a superhero, he’s employed as a test pilot for a corporation that manufactures military aircraft. This part of his story actually might have been good for a few cheap thrills, but the movie’s creators
couldn’t resist the temptation to turn it into an imitation of Top Gun. No need to bring the oven mitts. Green Lantern serves up the least sizzling screen romance in recent memory. Jordan has a thing going on with the daughter of the company’s owner (a completely lost Jay O. Sanders). Carol Ferris is played by Blake Lively, and together the two have all the chemistry of a pair of mannequins. But we didn’t buy a ticket to watch Hal Jordan make a love connection. We bought a ticket to watch him save the world. Which is why the second half of the film is an even bigger letdown than the first. Through a series of events I will not bore you by recounting, the cocky hotshot comes into possession of a ring and a matching lantern that basically functions as its battery charger. The ring, in turn, brings him in contact with an intergalactic peacekeeping organization known as the Green Lantern Corps headquartered on the distant planet Oa. There bubbleheaded immortals sit atop goofy towers, their impractical capes flowing hundreds of feet downward as they dole out assignments to what are essentially interstellar beat cops. The computer-generated land-
scape and aliens are jaw-droppingly cheesy. Cheesiest of all is the Parallax, public enemy No. 1 as far as the Corps is concerned. It’s on a collision course with Earth, naturally, so nothing stands between it and extermination of the human race except our buff hero, who’s still learning the super-ropes. You won’t believe your eyes when this thing comes looking for a fight. Picture a scowling skull engulfed in a nest of tentacles made of brown clouds. When anyone is foolish enough to approach it, the creature sucks the souls from their bodies in precisely the way Dementors do in the Harry Potter series. This may be the first movie to get its effects at a used CGI sale.
You doubtless can guess where all this goes. There’s not a surprise within a mile of the script, and, except for a scene or three featuring Peter Sarsgaard as a mutating mad scientist, nary an iota of imagination or fun, either. Along with the effects, the cumbersome exposition and most of the performances, the dialogue is howlingly laughable. It’s the viewer’s only hope for anything approaching entertainment — however unintended. The creators of Green Lantern don’t succeed at much, but I’ll give them this: By making a movie so bad it’s a joke, they do put the comic back in comic book. RICK KISONAK

Mr. Popper’s Penguins ★★
P
erhaps it’s not fair for adults to review movies that obviously weren’t intended for them. What will the average 8-year-old take away from a screening of Mr. Popper’s Penguins? One word: penguins. More words: Penguins slip-sliding down hallways. Pertly tilting their heads. Squawking. Defecating. Causing havoc in a museum, just like the average kid would love to do. Cavorting on an ice rink that a rich guy named Mr. Popper (Jim Carrey) has improvised in his Manhattan penthouse. Seriously, a penthouse with a penguin-inhabited ice rink? Even an adult can grasp the sweetness of that setup. The average 8-year-old has never heard of Carrey and doesn’t care that this role makes his work in the tepid family comedy Liar Liar look like Oscar material. He’s just a spastic, intermittently amusing old guy who has some problems involving his kids and exwife (Carla Gugino) that our average young viewer will ignore or instantly forget on exiting the theater. Trust me on this. What do I remember about Disney’s The Cat From Outer Space (1978)? Well, there was a cat. From outer space. Did Benji, the story of an adorable mutt, feature tiresomely wacky adult char-
acters along the lines of Pippi (Ophelia Lovibond), Mr. Popper’s assistant, whose alliterative dialogue suggests she has a perverse predilection for the letter P? I couldn’t tell you. Kids are great at overlooking things they don’t care about. Not so with us adults. We will be painfully aware that the film is not a straight adaptation of Richard and Florence Atwater’s 1938 book about a working-class family acquiring a passel of penguins. Instead, it’s another Hollywood saga of an affluent workaholic who comes to the astounding realization that he should spend more time with his family. A housepainter in the book, Mr. Popper onscreen has become a big-time real estate developer who needs to acquire Tavern on the Green from crotchety owner Angela Lansbury to make partner at his firm. In addition to his intimacy and attachment problems, Carrey’s character has daddy issues: His father traveled the world instead of spending quality time with him. When Popper Senior expires, he leaves Junior six exuberant little friends from the Antarctic. The birds make Popper’s existence a living hell, until he learns they serve as excellent lures for his precocious son (Maxwell Perry Cotton) and sulky teen daughter
(Madeline Carroll), who normally avoid him. Eager to win back the love of his ex and kids, Popper is suddenly all about the penguins, all the time. Only a zookeeper (Clark Gregg) dares to suggest that Carrey’s fancy pad might FOR THE BIRDS not be the best Carrey threatens to go all Cable Guy on one of the creatures that easily upstage him in Mark Waters’ kids’ flick. environment for these critters.

Curses, Foiled Again
After Domonique J. Loggins, 21, punched his 20-year-old girlfriend in the face during an argument while she was driving, the woman parked at a police station in suburban Joliet, Ill., and went inside to report the incident. When officers came outside, Loggins fled. He ran across a bridge and into a park, where, according to Deputy Chief Mike Trafton, “about 60 squad cars were parked.” Thirty Joliet cops and officers from other departments were in the park for a training session on “being prepared for any situation.” Loggins was quickly captured. After being handcuffed, he took off again, only to be recaptured by a police commander returning to the training session from lunch. (Chicago’s WLS Radio) When a man wearing a jacket hood over his face entered a bank in Columbus, Ohio, a bank employee informed him of the bank’s “no hats, no hoods” policy. Apparently hoping to avoid attracting attention, the man lowered the hood, according to FBI Special Agent Harry W. Trombitas, but then robbed the bank. Because his hood was down, however, surveillance cameras got a clear picture of his face. (Columbus Dispatch)
Your evenings just got a little darker Rock Hall of Famer Alice Cooper 7 - Midnight on 106.7 the Wizard
Dan Reeves spent nine years and $40,000 building a two-seater, singleengine airplane in the basement of his home in Cumberland County, Pa., assembling pieces as they arrived. When it was finally ready to fly, he had to spend another $5000 to knock down a basement wall — the only way he could get the full-size plane out. (Harrisburg’s Patriot-News)
Slightest Provocation
Police arrested Joseph Hayes, 48, in South Memphis, Tenn., after he threatened the host of a child’s birthday party with a gun because his children didn’t get any cake or ice cream. According to a police affidavit, Hayes yelled at the victim, “Y’all didn’t save my kids no damn ice cream and cake,” then left the party but returned with a small handgun, which he showed to the victim. “I ain’t scared to go to jail,” he told her. “Just take care of my kids.” (Memphis’s Commercial Appeal) When a 33-year-old man showed up at his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend’s apartment in Hoquiam, Wash., carrying a dead animal and looking for his girlfriend, the ex asked the man why he was carrying a weasel.

the man replied, “It’s not a weasel, it’s a marten,” then punched him in the nose and fled. Explaining that the dead animal was actually a mink, police Chief Jeff Myers said the attacker was later arrested. (Associated Press) Dechko Ivanov, 37, who posed as a living statue called the “Invisible King” in London, attacked rival street performer Rumen Nedelchev, 45, known as the living statue “Silver Wizard,” while Nedelchev was posing for tourists. According to testimony at Inner London Crown Court, Ivanov used a concrete block wrapped in a bag to bash his fellow Bulgarian and housemate “within a whisker” of death because Nedelchev had beaten him to a prime spot and stolen his audience.

The National September 11th memorial is scheduled to open in New York City in time for the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, but despite taking nine years to plan, the eight-acre memorial site won’t have bathrooms because the developer of the $500 million project omitted them. City officials meeting to come up with a solution to the oversight nixed using portable toilets before deciding it would simply inform visitors about the lack of bathrooms and tell them to make sure they go before their visit. (New York’s WPIX-TV) A man fell down a 30-foot embankment while urinating on the side of a road in King County, Wash., and had to wait several hours before rescue crews could locate and save him. King County fire official Dave Nelson said rescuers at the scene noticed no drug or alcohol impairment, and a TV news crew reported a passing car had startled the unidentified man.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):
A company that manufactures processed food made a promotional offer: If you purchased 10 of its products, it would give you 500 frequent flyer miles. An American man named David Philips took maximum advantage. He bought 12,150 pudding cups for $3000, earning himself more than a million frequent flyer miles — enough to fly to Europe and back 31 times. This is the kind of legal trick you’re now in a good position to pull off, Cancerian. So brainstorm freely, please: How could you play the system, outwit the matrix, rage against the machine or subvert the Man? No need to break any laws; the best gambit will be an ethical one.

gemini (May 21-June 20): advertisements are often designed to make you feel inadequate about the life you’re actually living so you will be motivated to “improve” your lot by buying what they’re selling. in this short horoscope, i don’t have room to express how much soul sickness this wreaks upon us all. recently Hbo unleashed an especially nefarious attack. Promoting its new streaming service, it informed us that “The story you could be watching is better than the one you’re in.” Fortunately, gemini, you won’t be tempted to swallow that vicious propaganda anytime in the coming weeks. your personal story will be profoundly more interesting and meaningful than the narratives that Hbo or any other entertainment source might offer. leo (July 23-aug. 22): While watching fast-
talking politicians talk on tV, my Polish granduncle would sometimes mutter, Zlotem pisal, a gownem zapieczetowal. i only learned what those words meant when i turned 18 and he decided i was old enough to know the translation: “written in gold and sealed with crap.” one of your interesting assignments in the coming weeks, leo, will be to identify anything that fits that description in your own life. once you’ve done that, you can get started on the next task, which should be rather fun: expose the discrepancy, and clean up the mess.
ViRgo (aug. 23-sept. 22): years ago i did a book tour that brought me to eugene, ore., where my sister and her husband and their daughter live. They came to my reading at a
bookstore. My Virgo niece Jasper was seven years old at the time. i was surprised and delighted when she heckled me several times during my talk, always with funny and goodnatured comments that added to the conviviality of the moment and entertained everyone in attendance. Who said Virgos are well behaved to a fault? your assignment this week is to be inspired by my niece: With wit and compassion, disrupt the orderly flow of any events that could use some smart agitation.
liBRa (sept. 23-oct. 22): “life is like playing a violin in public and learning the instrument as one goes on,” wrote author samuel butler. ain’t that the truth! you may be practicing as diligently as you can, gradually trying to master your complex instrument, but in the meantime your lack of expertise is plainly visible to anyone who’s paying close attention. luckily, not too many people pay really close attention, which gives you a significant amount of slack. now and then, too, you have growth spurts — phases when your skills suddenly leap to a higher octave. The coming weeks should be one of these times for you, libra. scoRPio (oct. 23-nov. 21): in august and september, millions of seabirds known as sooty shearwaters leave their homes in new zealand and travel thousands of miles to the gulf of the Farallones, just off the coast of san Francisco. Why do they do it? The feeding is first class; the tasty fish and squid they like are available in abundance. i suggest you consider a sooty-shearwater-type quest in the coming weeks, scorpio. The very best samples of the goodies you crave are located at a distance, either in a literal or metaphorical sense. sagittaRius
(nov. 22-Dec. 21): i really thought i’d understand sex better by now. after all these years of doing it and studying it and thinking about it and talking about it, i still can’t regard myself as a master of the subject. The kundalini’s uncanny behavior continues to surprise me, perplex me and thrill me with ever-new revelations. Just when i imagine i’ve figured out how it all works, i’m delivered to some fresh mystery. How about you, sagittarius? Judging by the current
astrological omens, i’m guessing you’re due for a round of novel revelations about the nature of eros. as long as you keep an open mind, open heart and open libido, it should all be pretty interesting.
caPRicoRn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): a few years
ago, eve ensler took her famous play The Vagina Monologues to Pakistan. she and a group of local Muslim actresses wowed a crowd in islamabad with discourses on vibrators, menstruation and “triple orgasms.” i invite and encourage you to try something equally brave in the coming weeks, Capricorn. give your spiel to a new audience; take your shtick to a wild frontier; show who you really are to important people who don’t know the truth yet.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When my “macho feminist” memoir The Televisionary Oracle was published in 2000, i suffered from comical delusions about its chances for mainstream acceptance. For example, i tried to get a review in the New York Times. as i know now, that had as much likelihood of happening as me traveling to the moon in a rainbow canoe carried by magical flying mermaids. but in lieu of that kind of recognition, others arrived. one of my favorites: My book went along for the ride with a group of goddess-worshipers on a spiritual tour to the ancient matriarchal city of Catal Huyuk in turkey. They read my writing aloud to each other, amused and entertained. i suspect you will soon have a similar experience, aquarius: having to “settle for” a soulful acknowledgment that’s different from what your ego thought it wanted. take it from me: That’s actually better.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): My favorite plant food for my african violets is a natural fertilizer called big bloom. one of its key ingredients — the stuff that makes it so effective — is bat guano. i’d like to suggest that you’re about due to embark on the big blooming phase of your own cycle, Pisces. and it’s more likely to reach its deserved pinnacle of fertility if you’re willing to summon just a hint of bat-shit craziness from the depths of your subconscious mind. but remember: just a dollop, not a giant heap. m

(March 21-april 19): golden orb spiders of Madagascar spin robust webs. Their silk is stronger than steel yet able to bend and expand when struck by insects. Here’s an equally amazing facet of their work: each morning they eat what remains of yesterday’s web and spend an hour or so weaving a fresh one. i’m thinking that your task in the coming weeks has some similarities to the orb spider’s, aries: creating rugged but flexible structures to gather what you need, and being ready to continually shed what has outlived its usefulness so as to build what your changing circumstances require. (Thanks to the California academy of sciences for the info on orb spiders.)
tauRus (april 20-May 20): The year is almost half over, taurus. shall we sum up the first part of 2011 and speculate about the adventures that may lie ahead of you in the next six months? The way i see it, you’ve been going through a boisterous process of purification since last January. some of it has rattled your soul’s bones, while some of it has freed you from your mind-forged manacles. in a few short months, you have overseen more climaxes and shed more emotional baggage than you had in the past three years combined. now you’re all clean and clear and fresh, and ready for a less exhausting, more cheerful kind of fun.

Your guide to love and lust...
mistress maeve Dear Mistress Maeve,
My boyfriend and I are having an issue. He insists on showering before sex, and I think that’s ridiculous — especially when we’re already making out and I’m turned on, and then I have to wait for him to shower. He’s not a chronic hand washer, nor does he bother to clean up after himself at my apartment, so this one “tidy” habit of his is really annoying. He finally told me that even though he showers every morning, he gets a strong crotch odor at the end of each day. I’ve never noticed any smell, so I think he’s just being overly sensitive — but can you tell me if there’s anything he can do about it (that doesn’t involve ruining my mojo)?

First, Mr. Clean needs to rule out infection: Like us ladies, men can easily get yeast infections. If your boyfriend’s crotch stench doesn’t have an accompanying rash or discharge, he’s probably in the clear, but if he sees anything fishy in his nether regions, he should see a doctor ASAP. Barring any medical reason for his unappealing aroma, your boyfriend is probably being hypercritical about the everyday odor that builds up in a guy’s shorts. Between the inevitable droplets of pee that escape after urination and the sweat accrued over a day’s work, things can get a little funky. I recommend washing thoroughly with mild soap, making sure to get the rear end, taint and head. And make sure he’s wearing boxer shorts, not tightie-whities — with nowhere for them to escape, he could be cooking those odors in a hothouse of cotton all day. In the grand scheme of things, wanting to be fresh as a daisy for sex isn’t the worst thing in the world. Be glad your man doesn’t want to shower directly following sex — there’s something strange about people who immediately have to wash the “sin” off themselves.
