My favorite lunch place is... Martone’s Market in Essex Junction. Best sandwiches ever! the last book i read was… CCIM Institute Market Analysis for Commercial Investment Real Estate.
On a sunday morning you will most likely find me... in the summer, either at my parents’ house on the lake with my wife Kate or on the golf course with my father-inlaw. In the fall and winter I am in a hockey rink coaching. When possible, Kate and I go to church.
My dream vacation would be... Jamaica with my wife, Kate, at the Rock House Hotel. My favorite hobby is… golf, and coaching ice hockey for the Green Mountain Glades.
Before i was a realtor one of my interesting jobs was... minor league professional hockey player. I played at UVM 1994-1998, had a try-out with the L.A. Kings and then kicked around the minor leagues for 3 years. I played for teams in Alabama, Texas and Michigan. Traveled 39 of 50 states for free and got paid to play a sport. Beat that!
One thing people are surprised to find out about me is... that I am an Essex Rotarian, and that I enjoy being involved with my local community. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to give back to a community that has been so supportive to me in my life.

thinks big.” I’m like, OK, I’m game. Let me read about how driving a 5-mile-per-gallon, filthspewing, road-hogging arrogant symbol of capitalism-run-amok is actually benefiting greater humanity. I got my answer straight away — Tousignant owns stuffed animals. Ah, I felt better immediately. I know I’d have all sorts of warm, fuzzy feelings about the likes of Robert Mugabe and George Bush, if I only knew that both had bedrooms piled full of stuffed animals. The Tousignants volunteer locally and have a grandson they love. That makes them as unique as 85 percent of the rest of the population their age. Has the editorial staff at Seven Days entered a coma? Have they not heard of acid rain, smog, air pollution, highway congestion, Hubbert’s peak, and that minor little bump in humanity’s road, global warming? What exactly is newsworthy about a retired blue-collar motor head owning a bunch of internal combustion engines? SOUTH BURLINGTON I turned the page, wondering why Seven Days had wasted so HOLD THE HUMMERS much space on such smarmy, I read “Horsepower Haven” bland, inane drivel and perused [June 13] in its entirety, and I the remainder of the issue for wish I hadn’t. The subtitle begs more one’s mind to open up and read: 2x3-rolfing-salmon 7/19/06 1:02 PMredemptive Page 1 and useful articles. As I progressed to the “A Hummer-happy couple . . . HUM AND HUMMER I always wonder what Hummer drivers imagine people are thinking when taking in the sight of their behemoths [“Horsepower Haven,” June 13]. Do they think that we’re looking in awe, admiration, or perhaps envy? Well, we’re not. We’re marveling at how pathetic and insecure a human being must be to need such a monstrosity to attract attention. We feel embarrassed to be Americans because it’s these egocentric Hummerphiles who represent the worst that America has become: selfish, ostentatious, wasteful, aggressive, and completely oblivious to the suffering they inflict on others. But I know a lot of Vermonters who wreak a more insidious vengeance than flipping Hummers the bird. They deposit a “loogie” on their nimble fingers and swipe it under your door handles when you’re not looking. I do not condone this, of course. Molly Hodgdon
next section, an advertisement at the bottom of page 59B seized my attention with the words, “Hold the Presses! Seven Days is looking for a full-time news editor!” exclaimed the bold print. Under the second heading “The best candidate will have,” my eyes fixed on line two, which requires, “Solid hard-news judgment.” I don’t have much journalistic background, but if you’d like
“I believe I would not still be working without the help of Rolfing.” “I stand all the time without pain. Before Rolfing, my knees, ankles, and back were wearing out and I don’t think my body would have held up.”
to hire me to be your editorial “judge of solid hard news,” I guarantee your paper will never again feature such useless fluff as Mike Ives’ recent blather on garden-variety environmental boobs. Steven Farnham PLAINFIELD

SEVEN DAYS | june 27-july 04, 2007 | webpage 09A
»webpage » sickos! On Friday, Seven Days is sponsoring a screening of Michael Moore’s new movie Sicko at Merrill’s Roxy Cinemas in Burlington. Moore interviews people who illustrate, through their personal experiences, that the health-care system in the U.S. is broken. Last week we invited our readers to send us their own medical horror stories, as part of a contest to win tickets to the film. We received a number of responses, ranging from medical mishaps to insurance nightmares. And despite our request for “horror stories,” a few of you told us that health care in Vermont is pretty good. Here are some of the responses we received:
Mine is more of a medical insurance outrage than it is a horror story. Every several weeks, for the rest of my life, I must have a medical procedure that my local Home Health agency is willing to administer for $3000. CIGNA won’t approve Home Health to administer this procedure. Instead, CIGNA insists that I have the procedure administered on an out-patient basis at the local hospital. The hospital charges $4500 to administer the same procedure that Home Health charges only $3000 to administer. And that’s every six to eight weeks for the rest of my life! No wonder medical insurance premiums are escalating beyond the reach of consumers. JeAN loWell, moNtpelier About 15 years ago I noticed a pain in my lower left side, and made an appointment with a gynecologist who was new in town. He examined me, and after removing his gloves, looked at me intently, and said, “Congratulations! You’re pregnant, about 7 months along.” I was shocked, and for a moment I couldn’t find words. When I finally did, I said, “There must be some mistake...” He interrupted me and said, “No, no mistake. You’re pregnant.” I said, “But I had a tubal ligation 2 years ago...” He said, “You’re quite pregnant...those operations don’t always work.” I took a breath and said, “Well...it must be the second ‘Immaculate Conception ‘ then, because I haven’t had sex in a year and a half.” Unbelievably, his response was: “I’m telling you, you’re pregnant.” And I said, “I’m telling you: I’m out of here!”

Ten days later I had a hysterectomy for endometriosis and to remove a grapefruit-sized (thankfully benign) tumor on my ovary. I heard, a few weeks later, that the doctor in question had left town. Had I believed him, and had he been present when it was time to deliver the “baby,” I would have loved to have seen his face! pAt, bUrliNGtoN
yo, Hackie!
Hitchhiking Nyet! Chew Chew weekend was in full chomp when I U-turned to meet a group of five people waiting at the Main Street taxi stand on the corner of St. Paul Street. I shouldn’t be making U-turns on Main Street, but I do. Bad hackie. There were three women and two men. The bigger guy said, “It’s just these two young women. They’re working at a girls’ camp, I think it’s up in Colchester. You heard of this? Can you take them?”
Don’t know if this counts, but I had something bad happen to me before I was even born. The nurse (or whoever it was) stuck the amniocentesis needle right through my leg. Now I have a scar on the side of my knee and one under my knee where the needle went through. HUNter HArd, bUrliNGtoN
“Sure,” I said. “I know exactly where it is.” There is an exclusive girls’ summer camp located in the outer reaches of Colchester. For many years I’ve driven the counselors and other staff members when they hit Burlington on their nights off. Most of the staff, from my experience, are young foreign women. The bulk of the counselors seem to come from England and Australia, while the rest of the staff — kitchen, cleaning and the like — are mostly from Eastern Europe and Russia.
I was 24. I had stomach pain and some brown stuff coming out of my belly button. I went to the local ER and was seen by a variety of interns. I was given an ultrasound, a pelvic exam, a rectal exam, and then another pelvic exam. Two residents stood over me after the second pelvic exam arguing over their opinions of what was wrong with me. In the end, they told me to go home and that my belly button was probably just dirty. The next day I was still in pain and more goo was coming out of my belly button. I went back to the ER and was seen by an actual doctor who diagnosed me and scheduled me for surgery due to a cyst in my umbilical cord behind my belly button. I got charged for two ER visits due to incompetence and individuals who were not fully trained attempting to diagnose with me with little, if any, oversight.
The guy asked me the price, which I quoted him. He then asked the girls if they had the money, and they said they did. Giggling, they stepped into the back seat, both of them cute, blond and petite. Chugging along, at a break in the giggles, I asked, “So, where are you girls from? What’s your hometown?” The slightly taller girl said, “We are from Ukraine.” We got on the highway en route to the Chimney Corner exit. The same girl — she seemed to be the leader of the duo — asked me, “This highway . . . umm, how you say? Is this highway busy?” I had not a clue what she was getting at. “What exactly do you mean?” More giggling, and then, “Can we get ride? Is that permitted?” Now I got it. “No, no — you can’t hitchhike on the highways.” My paternal instincts kicked in at the thought. In the rearview I could see they didn’t understand. “You know — hitchhiking.” I stuck my thumb out and energetically pantomimed the act.
rebA porter, bUrliNGtoN
“Yes, yes,” they said from the back, with tons more charming laughter. “Why not?” “Well, it’s illegal. But, anyway, you don’t want to be on the road late at night with your thumb out.”
Vlogger eva sollberger uses the Force at Geek Week in montpelier.
“It is dangerous? Why?” “C’mon girls.” I was growing frustrated at their apparent naiveté. The thought arose that they were pulling my leg, but then I remembered where they came from — two strangers in a strange land. “The two of you, getting in random cars. I mean, use your imagination.” Posted June 25 by Jernigan Pontiac

Got Wood? A New Study Shows Vermont Has Millions of Tons to Burn BY KEN PICARD PHOTOS COURTESY OF BIOMASS ENERGY RESOURCE CENTER
A Local Realtor with a World of Experience

BARRE — Twelve years ago, the Barre Town Middle and Elementary School was, to put it bluntly, an energy hog. It was both costly and inefficient to heat the large building with electricity throughout the winter. Today, the school atop Quarry Hill Road is a 21st-century model of energy efficiency. For the last decade, Barre School has used an environmentally friendly, woodfired furnace system that’s fed low-grade, sustainably harvested wood chips from forestlands in
“Having worked with many agents, I can say that Rob Johnson set a new standard for professionalism and service. I look forward to working with him again soon.” — R. Marceau, St Albans, VT
Vermont’s public facilities could meet virtually all their heating needs with locally supplied wood resources if they’re managed properly.

Vermont and surrounding regions. The changeover to biomass energy has saved Barre Town tens of thousands of dollars in fuel expenses and, in the words of Principal Tim Crowley, made the school “part of the solution instead of part of the problem.” Appropriately, the Barre Town School was the backdrop last Thursday for a press conference convened by the Biomass Energy Resource Center (BERC), which
2x5-AffectionatelyCats062007.ind1 1
promotes the use of renewable energy resources nationwide. With findings from its first-ever “Vermont Wood Fuel Supply Study,” the Montpelier nonprofit made the case that Vermont has ample additional supply for expanding its use of biomass energy. It determined the woodfuel capacity in Vermont and 10 surrounding counties in New York and Massachusetts, and how much of it could be reliably and economically harvested in an eco-friendly way.
6/15/07 9:38:25 AM
The study found that Vermont has plenty of additional wood to burn — specifically, some 20 million tons of “underutilized” wood that grows here annually. Of that, about 1.5 million tons are considered “low-grade,” i.e., unsuitable for products such as wood veneer, furniture or construction. Even after other constraints such as political opposition, market forces and the limitations of land access are fac-
tored in, “We think that there’s ample supply here, if managed sustainably, to support the increased use of biomass,” says Chris Recchia, BERC’s newly appointed executive director. Vermont’s forest experts agree. Steve Sinclair is forest director for the Vermont Department of Forests, Recreation and Parks. He says the BERC study will go a long way toward alleviating public fears and concerns that Vermont’s forest resources are being overutilized and harmed by expanding timber extraction. “I don’t think that our country can be secure until we have natural security,” says Sinclair. “In order for this country to be secure, we have to rely upon our natural resources, using them in a sustainable manner to make us free from our dependence on foreign oil and everything that goes along with that.” Increasingly, small-scale wood energy is being seen as a wise, eco-friendly option for northern states such as Vermont. In the last 10 years, 32 other public schools in the state have followed the Barre Town model. This fall, more than 20 percent of all Vermont schoolchildren will attend a school that’s heated with wood-fuel energy. BERC’s founding executive director, Tim Maker says Vermont’s public facilities could meet virtually all their heating needs with locally supplied wood resources if they’re managed properly. Which means wood fuel could become the next step in Vermont’s growing localvore movement — that is, the drive to consume products grown and harvested in the area. As BERC board President Scudder Parker points out, the goal isn’t to build expensive, industrial-sized facilities like the McNeil Generating Plant. Instead, the group is focused on small-scale projects that individual communities can own, operate and manage in a sustainable manner. �

Leahy to Reverse White House “Power Grab” of National Guard BY KEN PICARD
WASHINGTON, D.C. — When members of Congress approved the National Defense Authorization Act last October, most of them had no idea that they were fundamentally altering the balance of power between the federal and state governments that’s existed for more than 200 years. Buried within the $538 billion military spending bill was a rider making it easier for the president to declare martial law and assume command of the National Guard, with or without a governor’s consent. That provision, which was quietly slipped into the bill at the White House’s behest, effectively gave the president the authority to bypass the Posse Comitatus Act, a Reconstruction-era law that pre-
Adjutants General Association, which represents the top commanders from each state’s National Guard, both opposed the rider; the National Guard Association described it as setting “a dangerous precedent.” In a rare display of bipartisan consensus, all 51 members of the National Governors Association, including Governor Jim Douglas, signed an August 6, 2006, letter condemning the rider as an attempt to “usurp governors’ authority” over their own National Guard troops. Yet despite such criticisms, the rider was left in the bill when Bush signed it into law on October 17, 2006. So in February, Senators Leahy and Christopher “Kit” Bond (R-Missouri) introduced S.513,
Guard’s senior-most military officer, Adjutant General Michael Dubie, who usually doesn’t comment on policy issues, expressed his strong disapproval for “changing a construct that’s worked well for a couple hundred years.” “I’m a states’ rights advocate,” Dubie said. “I believe that the way our system is set up, the governor is clearly in a better position to respond in an emergency to the needs of the state of Vermont than some federal agency.” Dubie likened last year’s legislation to a situation that arose in 1986 when then-Governor Madeleine Kunin tried to prevent Vermont’s Army National Guard from being sent to Honduras. At the time, Kunin and four other

It’s totally unfair to the National Guard that the president would walk in and try to use them as law enforcement. That’s not what they’re trained for. SEN. PATRICK LEAHY
vents the executive branch from using the military as a domestic police force. Posse Comitatus qualifies the Insurrection Act of 1807, which allows a president to declare martial law and deploy troops on American soil in the event of a rebellion or civil uprising. The initiative, advanced by the Bush administration, was precipitated by Hurricane Katrina. Specifically, it arose from a power struggle between President Bush and Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco — over the National Guard — that likely delayed some rescue efforts in the wake of the storm. As a result, the president sought legal means to federalize Guard troops and/or deploy regular military soldiers in the event of a major emergency, such as a terrorist attack, flu pandemic or any “other condition” that may arise. The rider didn’t define what constitutes an “other condition,” or how a constitutional crisis would be averted if a governor refused to relinquish command of his or her own National Guard soldiers. Senator Patrick Leahy, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee and also heads up the National Guard caucus, was the first one to raise opposition last summer to this attempt at expanding the power of the “unitary executive.” “This was so unprecedented,” Leahy said in a phone interview last week. “It was slipped into the bill because we had a rubber-stamp Congress for the Republican leadership and they wouldn’t say no to anything . . . It’s totally unfair to the National Guard that the president would walk in and try to use them as law enforcement. That’s not what they’re trained for.” Although the mainstream media was mostly silent on the historic tweak, the response by both military and civilian officials was strongly critical.

which in Leahy’s words “replaces every word, comma and period” from the original Insurrection Act. Last week, Leahy told Seven Days that a “major victory is in the offing:” Virtually all the language from S.513 has been incorporated into the new defense authorization bill that’s expected to be voted on by the full Senate in coming weeks. That can’t happen too soon — even for the Douglas administration, which is ordinarily averse to criticizing the president. Calling the rider’s passage “an unnecessary power grab” by the federal government, Press Secretary Jason Gibbs noted, “Philosophically, it’s completely inconsistent with the point of view of the Republican Party, which is that the states have rights. It’s one of the great inconsistencies of this administration.” Likewise, the Vermont National

states’ governors were opposed to then-President Ronald Reagan’s attempt to intimidate the Sandinista government in neighboring Nicaragua. The courts ultimately settled the issue by upholding the president’s right to trump the governors’ authority over their own Guard troops. While Dubie acknowledges that last year’s defense authorization act “lowered the bar” for when a president can take command of the Vermont National Guard, he emphasized that in an emergency situation, his first loyalty is to the governor. “If there’s anything good about what happened with last year’s legislation, it’s that it created this awareness of the dual status of the National Guard that most people don’t realize is out there,” he added. “It’s a good opportunity to talk about who decides its role and mission.” �

LABOR
VT Labor Organizer Countering Capitalist Trends in China BY KEVIN J. KELLEY
EAST MONTPELIER — Local warriors in the battle between capital and labor are moving their ops — to China. Over the past few years, veteran Vermont activists Ellen David-Friedman and Stuart Friedman have been teaching community organizing to university students in southern China while also quietly working with labor groups not sanctioned by the communist government. Now the East Montpelier partners are leaving their respective Green Mountain jobs — Ellen as an organizer for the Vermont teachers’ union and as vice-chair of the Progressive Party, Stuart as a clinical social worker at Central Vermont Hospital — in order to focus more intensively on their work in the People’s Republic. Their ambitious aim is to help mitigate the negative effects of the global market economy model espoused by Gov. James Douglas and the Vermont business leaders who recently concluded a joint prospecting trip to China. “My fond hope is that I can work with people in trade unions and share my experiences in Western labor-organizing practices and collective bargaining,” David-Friedman says. Ellen, 55, and Stuart, 59, will return in August to the Pearl River Delta region ELLEN DAVID FRIEDMAN WITH A STUDENT
where they have lived for a few months each year since their son, Eli, began studying Chinese there in 2000. The couple received faculty appointments in Guangzhou University’s social work department a couple of years ago because “social work is a new field in China and there was a need for foreign teachers,” David-Friedman explains. The couple will return to Vermont next February. Not long after visiting Eli for the first time, DavidFriedman got involved with small independent groups that were raising money in Hong Kong to support efforts to improve working conditions in the People’s Republic. These grassroots Chinese organizers work cautiously outside the aegis of the government-controlled All China Federation of Trade Unions to try to enforce minimum-wage guarantees as well as occupational safety and health standards. Child labor and dangerous, slave-like circumstances are believed to be widespread in China, a nominally socialist country that has prospered enormously by adopting a cowboy form of capitalism. DavidFriedman, a self-described Marxist, acknowledges “there has been a lot of material gain for a lot of people” in the quarter-century since the Communist Party decreed that “to get rich is glorious.” In the past decade, however, there has also come “a dawning recognition of what has been lost” in China’s headlong sprint to achieve developed-nation status, David-Friedman adds. She cites slippages in the quality of public education, erosion of the national health-care system and the undoing of what had been a virtual guarantee of lifetime job security. Unrest has spread across China in the form of rural rioting and workplace protests as political discontent and economic insecurity have metastasized. The communist authorities have responded both with promises of reform and threats of crackdown. The independent labor groups are now finding it harder to operate even as the government advances legislation intended to strengthen enforcement of labor protections and to toughen penalties for abusive employers. In this political environment, David-Friedman’s activities and analysis are fraught with ironies and subtleties.
As a labor organizer from the world’s leading capitalist country, she gently prods her students to ask questions about the direction taken by a society founded on principles of economic equity. DavidFriedman notes ruefully that most of the students say they have little use for the Marxist worldview that she regards as essential to understanding history and politics. China’s unconditional embrace of the private market has made socialist theory seem irrelevant to many Chinese. “The state is presumed not to be challengeable,” David-Friedman observes. “The state is considered to have full responsibility for making decisions about the country’s economic development — which is really a way of saying its move to marketize everything.” The anxieties and frustrations troubling millions of Chinese workers are felt in many other countries, including the United States, David-Friedman suggests. And she argues that if the world’s most dynamic developing country does manage to ease the pressures squeezing its working class, the result could be a slowing or even a reversal of the “race to the bottom” in which workers worldwide are being forced to compete. It was this grand vision, along with the day-today excitement of teaching and organizing in China, that led David-Friedman to leave her 20-year-long job with the Vermont chapter of the National Education Association. Her absence will be sorely felt, says Vermont NEA director Joel Cook. He says her “key achievement” was organizing hundreds of support staffers in the state’s public schools. “Ellen brought a unique perspective to the work of this association,” Cook comments. “She is unrelenting in her dedication to the interests of working people and issues of social justice.” Cook notes the Vermont NEA now has one of the highest percentages of school support staff members of any state teachers’ union in the country. Similarly, in her leadership roles with the Progressive Party, David-Friedman gets major credit for electoral gains outside the Burlington area. Though organizing comes easy to the diminutive, irrepressible David-Friedman, she regards the present period as among the worst of times in terms of workers’ movements. Still, that’s no reason to despair, she says, citing the axiom of 19th-century Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci: “Pessimism of the mind, optimism of the will.” Earlier this year, she raised funds for and organized a three-week speaking tour of the United States by Liu Cheng, a Shanghai scholar and a principal architect of the government-backed laborreform legislation. Cheng had denounced an arm-twisting exercise by American and European corporations that had already succeeded in weakening the proposed reforms. Cheng accused Western business associations based in Shanghai of impinging on China’s national sovereignty by implying they might move their investments to a more pliable Asian country, such as Pakistan, if wages and workers’ protections were elevated in Chinese factories. The whirlwind U.S. tour, which included more than 40 meetings with trade union leaders and government officials, “had quite an impact,” DavidFriedman recounts. She says Cheng was subsequently able to help prevent further dilution of the proposed reforms because he could plausibly argue that his hang-tough position enjoyed support in sections of American society. David-Friedman points to the Chinese government’s move to improve working conditions as one reason why she feels “empathy” for the People’s Republic. China meets some of the standards for a socialist nation, she says. And China does not conform to many Americans’ depiction of it as a monolithically repressive and exploitative state. “Sure, there are sweatshops” and strict limitations on individual freedom, David-Friedman concedes. But there’s much more to China than that, she adds. Communist Party apparatchiks and overseers at Guangzhou University have never attempted to censor her or Stuart’s teaching, David-Friedman points out. “We can say anything we want to in the classroom,” she notes. But China’s communist revolution has gone off the rails, David-Friedman adds. The party “has divorced itself, tragically, from allowing itself to be led by the needs of workers,” she adds. But maybe, in some small measure, these Vermont Progressives can help put the world’s largest country back on the track toward socialism. �

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS
Battlefield Breakdown
T
hat’s the title of the CNN Special Investigation Unit Report that will air this coming Saturday evening — a powerful piece about how the Bush administration has so ineptly prepared and treated the American soldiers it has sent to fight and die in Iraq. Yours truly got a heads-up and advance, not-yet-final cut via Federal Express Monday morning because of the “Vermont connection.” The distinguished senior producer on “Battlefield Breakdown” grew up in Burlington, Vermont, and is a graduate of Rice High School and the University of Vermont: Laura Bernadini. Her dad is now retired from the State of Vermont’s Department of Social Welfare, where he was a supervisor.
Donald Rumsfeld from using them as such. In fact, neither Rumsfeld nor his successor, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, would talk to Bernardini’s CNN team about the Bush Defense Department’s glaring planning failures in Iraq and the poor treatment of the soldiers they publicly venerate. Asked why CNN didn’t make more of Rumsfeld’s refusal to answer questions about his leadership, or lack thereof, 6/25/07 while on the public payroll, Bernardini 2x5-Leunigs062707.indd 1 told us they “were not focused on the politics of whether or not we should be in Iraq. This piece is solely focused on the toll of a long-term commitment.” Actually, the refusal of Rumsfeld and Gates to be questioned by CNN about the Bush administration’s pathetic planning for the Iraq war says a great deal. “I’m not going to draw a conclusion,” said Bernardini. “We’ll let the piece stand for itself.” Trust me, it does. And it will get a lot of attention. day: “Battlefield Breakdown” will air this e Music Thurs iv L coming Saturday and Sunday evenings at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. And, yes, it’s well worth a watch.

Laura’s uncle, she told us in a Tuesday interview, is Dick Bove, the Pearl Street restaurant owner and former Democratic city councilor in the 1970s. Dicky Bove, the man whose 1981 mayoral bid took enough votes away from Democratic incumbent Mayor Gordie Paquette to allow Independent upstart Bernie Sanders to claim a 10-vote victory! In fact, Laura’s first “journalist” interview, she told “Inside Track,” was with Candidate Bernie Sanders in his 1990 bid for the U.S. House. She was a junior at Rice at the time. What ever happened to Bernie Sanders, anyway? “Battlefield Breakdown” is the first tell-it-like-it-is documentary we’ve seen by a major mainstream network that succeeds in finding out what is really going on in Iraq. Through the mouths of current and former troops, the doc reveals the price American troops and families have paid for “the lack of planning” by the Bush adminsistration. As one wounded Army Reserve Captain sent to fight in an nonarmoured Humvee put it, the price is “dead Americans, crippled Americans. It’s a big price,” he told CNN.

beyond dispute there is global warming.” Not in Charlie’s World, folks. “How do you say it’s beyond dispute?” asked Charlie. “I mean, we could get two scientists, two educated people in this studio to argue it, and I still think, after listening to both sides, you’d come out shaking your head. You have a tough time convincing me,” said Charlie to Vermont’s lone congressman, “it’s something that we, as humans, are causing.” The conservative AM radio host did not deny world temperatures are rising, but scorned any suggestion human activity was causing it. “Is it happening?” asked Charlie. “Yes,” he answered himself. “It’s happening, but is it because of something that I’m doing or you’re doing or Dick Mazza’s doing driving a Corvette around? “I don’t think so,” he scoffed.“I think it’s just simply happening. It’s cyclical.” You mean like the Yankees’ world championships? “I’ll be honest with you,” said the veteran Burlington-area radio personality, “the Democratic Party is trying to scare people into thinking that the sky’s falling and you need to support us.” That explains it — global warming is a left-wing, Democratic Party conspiracy! “I hate to say it, Charlie,” replied Welch the Dirty Democrat, “but there is a thing such a thing as global warming.” The ex-president pro tem of the Vermont Senate suggested, “We should stop arguing, in my view, if global warming exists. I think the evidence scientifically is overwhelming. We’ve got to be talking about what to do about it in a way that’s constructive for the economy.” Nice try, Pedro, but Radio Charlie wasn’t buying it. “This thought that we can change the climate by what we do,” said Charlie, “I think that’s where you lose a lot of people, cause we can’t.” Hey, Charlie, tell it to the polar bears, eh? Home From China — Even the Shanghai bureau chief for Forbes magazine noticed it — the rather skimpy size of the Vermont business delegation that joined Republican Gov. Jim Douglas on last week’s big trip to China. “In reality,” Secretary of Commerce and Community Development Kevin Dorn told WDEV’s Mark Johnson
Tuesday, “we would have liked more businesses to participate.” Dorn said the Chinese market “holds many mysteries to American businessmen and women.” Vermont Public Radio’s John Dillon, however, aired a piece Monday featuring several Vermont business people in the environmentally friendly energy field who already have been to China. Eric Beliveau of Optimal Energy in Bristol told VPR, “We have done quite a bit of work in China, consulting work for the Asian Development Bank, but we were not consulted by the governor in reference to his latest trip in China.” Ouch. Democrats See the “Light?” — There’s no sign Gov. Scissorhands’ rather skimpy China guest list will hurt him. Instead, Democratic legislative leaders announced on Tuesday they are backing down on their scheduled nose-to-nose clash with the guv on July 11 regarding Douglas’ veto of H.520, their prize global-warming bill. The Ds, reading the writing on the wall, realize they don’t have the two-thirds vote needed to override. So they’ve declared their plan to suspend the rules and withdraw what some would say is the most important item in the bill — its funding source. It was to have been a tax on solar power generation and on Entergy’s Vermont Yankee nuclear power generation. Looks like Entergy, its talented Statehouse lobbyists and its loudest champion Jim Douglas have won this one. Congratulations! Battling Prosecutors? — That’s what it looks like as United States Attorney Tom Anderson has risen to the bait of Windsor County State’s Attorney Robert Sand. The issue: our current drug policy. “Over the past several months,” writes Anderson in a recent op-ed in the Valley News, “there has been extensive press coverage of Windsor County State’s Attorney Robert Sand’s call for the legalization and/or decriminalization of all drugs, presumably to include not only marijuana but drugs like heroin, methamphetamine, ecstasy, crack cocaine, LSD, GHB (the date-rape drug), and all other mind-altering substances. “While legitimate debate is the cornerstone of our democracy,” states Vermont’s top federal prosecutor, “misguided

Burlington College Students Tip “Applause Meter” at 24-Hour Filmmaking Competition
6/21/07 1:41:26 PM
BY MARGOT HARRISON
What would Martin Scorsese produce if he had 24 hours to make a film — including post-production? Or Jonathan Demme, or Quentin Tarantino? Maybe that’s what actor Matthew Modine, who’s worked with directors of that caliber, was wondering when he proposed to Lake Placid Film Forum Artistic Director Kathleen Carroll that she host a 24-hour filmmaking competition at the annual festival. Five teams of students from nearby colleges participated in “Sleepless in Lake Placid” over the weekend of June 15-16. They scurried around the small town, scouting out locations and filming, then returned to their dorm rooms to edit. On Saturday night, they screened the finished products for judges. Syracuse University walked away with the Robin Pell award from the panel, which included Tunbridge filmmaker John O’Brien (Man With a Plan, Nosey Parker).

But Burlington College film students snagged the audience award for their deadpan comic fantasy American Cheese. In a season of bloated flicks about guys in Spandex, the Burlingtonians worked the theme of superhero parody: They concocted a plot in which Uncle Sam has to revive the spirits of a moody Captain America, who’s sick of rescuing people who don’t appreciate him. Best line: “Everybody always asks where Spider-Man is!” Brent Harrewyn, part of that team — which also included James Daly, Georgia Pantazopolous, Ian Yaple and John Iozzo — explains the parameters of the contest in an email: “We had to open the film with the discovery of a dead body, we had to reference the [1980 Lake Placid] Olympics, we had to reference John Brown the abolitionist, [and] we needed the Palace Theatre [the festival venue] in a shot.” All those ele-
ments are worked into the finished film, albeit not always seamlessly. (“John Brown” appears as the name of a drink.) In Lake Placid, Harrewyn says, he “went a total of 38 hours without sleeping” and “edited for 14 hours straight.” He adds that the team “even researched the relationship between Captain America and Uncle Sam, inserting factual elements from the comic series” such as the “super soldier serum” that revives the flagging hero and his history of fighting Nazis in World War II. Via slapstick and silly costumes, the short film reminds us that superheroes were once patriotic icons, not just popcorn sellers. But Harrewyn thinks audiences could read a less lighthearted subtext into the moment when Captain America “resort[s] to violence after his American flag balloon (bubble) gets popped.” Michael Moore would approve . . . �

PARTY POOPERS? Apparently, the Friday night party that kicked off last year’s South End Art Hop was just that: the last. In Hops past, the South End Arts and Business Association (SEABA) and the Burlington Police Department struggled to keep partiers safe and the popular event from ballooning out of control. This year’s solution is to avoid assembling the masses at a single beer-tented bash on Pine Street: Instead, organizers will present “Strut II” — an indie fashion show by local designers — on Friday and then spread other events throughout the month. Along with, of course, open-studio tours

board treasurer. “No one talked about doing this before the fire.” Last spring, Patch sought new studio space for two Enosburg artist-friends when she heard the rebuilt block had a vacancy. She called Andy Broderick of Housing Vermont. “Can you hold it for a few weeks?” she asked him. “I’d like to toss around an idea I’ve had.” A year later, Patch and other AIR organizers have established a new template for Vermont art co-ops. One part gallery, one part store, and two parts art club, AIR provides display and sales space for its members, whose offerings cover all mediums: painting, photography, pottery, stained glass, baskets, fiber arts, woodworking — you name it.
AIR has 1875 square feet of space, just enough for the 46 local artists whose works appear on white walls and in sparkling glass cases. On the first Thursday of each month, AIR hosts a free reception for four featured artists. Every member-artist’s work is permanently on display and sale. The artist’s cost? A very reasonable $300 annually. And each member agrees to work at AIR five days a year. Unlike other art co-ops in the state, where investors collect a commission on sales, AIR lets its artists keep their money. The gallery relies solely on membership dues, money from sponsors (available at various donation levels), and rent from an in-house artist’s studio and a framing shop. “Now we need to make this a

destination,” Patch said. One plan to do so includes an AIR-generated tour map of littleknown art galleries outside Chittenden County. Wayne Tarr likes that idea. The St. Albans photographer joined AIR to show and sell the body of portrait work he has amassed for 40-plus juried shows over the past 15 years. “And the other thing,” he explained, “is that this place will give me a bit more freedom with my fine artwork and make me focus on projects that will fit into this gallery.” Over the years, Patch has seen craft shops in her hometown, but never a fine-art gallery. She asks: “What else makes a downtown more fun than the arts?” Now, Enosburgers can answer that question. �

Curses, Foiled Again When sheriff’s deputies stopped a man for speeding in Goliad, British Columbia, they pointed out that the name on his driver’s license didn’t match the name tattooed on his back. He produced another license with his real name: Omar Cruz Garza, 35. Observing a DVD, a safe, power tools and camera inside the pickup truck, the suspicious deputies found paperwork in the safe with the same name as the first driver’s license. Before learning that the items had been taken in a home burglary, the deputies also found 4 grams of cocaine, which the man explained he was taking to his son as a graduation present.

“Tog, this is delicious – are you sure you’re not gay?�
the straight dope
by CECIL ADAMS
all worthwhile human knowledge
Stop right there, B. You don’t want to even use “’70s� and “futuristic� in the same sentence. On the contrary, having lived through the era (remember Vietnam? Watergate?), I can assure you the ’70s are something you want to put far in the past. The future as we know it today was invented during the Eisenhower administration, and perhaps its most iconic representation, the check-number typeface, was introduced in 1958. What you’re asking about is the font used for magnetic-ink character recognition, better known as the MICR (pronounced MY-ker) font. It’s designed to be easily read by machines when printed in magnetizable ink, making it possible to minimize check sorting by humans, which is slow and inaccurate. The need for a machine-readable font became urgent with the explosion in check use following World War II. By 1952, clerks were hand-sorting more than 29 million checks per day — work so stultifying that staff turnover at some bank processing centers was 100 percent or more annually. Processing delays also meant longer check “float� (the interval between initial deposit and when funds become available), an expensive inconvenience for business. To solve the problem, the American Bankers Association (ABA) established a technical committee in 1954. Three competing solutions emerged: The Stanford Research Institute (SRI) proposed what we now know as MICR coding, IBM suggested magnetic bar coding, and several companies working cooperatively came up with a system of dots printed in invisible fluorescent ink. All had their points, but MICR coding could be read by humans if the machines conked out, was resistant to damage from handling, and had a low error rate — about one goof per 100,000 checks sorted. In 1956, MICR coding got the nod. The next decision was font design. The original SRI typeface looked like standard typewriter output. Although this worked OK, MICR-encoded checks would have to be read by machines from several manufacturers using different engineering approaches. A committee on typeface design considered something like 11 different styles to find one that would work equally well in all machines. The winner was E-13B, the font’s designation to this day — meaning drawing E, version B, with a basic line width of 13 thousandths of an inch. As you might guess, E-13B’s pronounced variations in stroke thickness produce a distinctive signal for each character as the check moves past a magnetic sensor called a read head. As originally created and still employed by the banking industry, E-13B comprises only 14 characters: the digits 0 through 9 plus four syntax symbols composed of dots and bars. The matching alphabet characters devised later are useless in check processing; they just give words that groovy robot look.

Dear Cecil, Why did banks settle on that very ’70s futuristic — and downright awful looking — font as the standard typeface for the routing and account numbers on checks? Is there something inherently superior about it? If so, why isn’t it found on more official documents? B. Yankee, via email
Prescription Eyewear • Sunglasses • Accessories 107 CHURCH STREET, BURLINGTON 864.7146
E-13B isn’t a global standard. When the U.S. presented E-13B and the MICR system to an international conference in 1962, the French touted their own magnetic font, CMC-7 (its characters have a bar-coded appearance, like they’ve gone through a bread slicer). Today much of Europe and South America uses CMC-7, while E-13B is stronger in Asia and the Middle East. Is one font inherently superior? You tell me: Which is better, driving on the right or on the left? Why do people hang catfish heads from their fences? I have looked everywhere and cannot find an explanation for this behavior. Teresa, via the Straight Dope Message Board Obviously you’ve never fished for catfish. They don’t have scales, so it’s fairly simple to clean them by pulling their skin right off. However, they’re slimy and often pretty big, so skinning them is a two-handed job made considerably easier if you nail the head to something first. From there it’s a short step to nailing up fish heads as a rural design statement. The resultant roadside displays do much to break up the monotony of a long country drive. I grew up with a couple guys whose favored fish-head showcase was some utility poles by the creek where they fished, which were soon ringed with severed piscine noggins as high up as they could reach. We scared the bejesus out of a bunch of young whippersnappers one night by driving them out to the skull-covered poles and telling them devil worshippers were responsible, each head symbolizing another kid whacked in honor of Satan in a nearby field. In light of modern notions about post-traumatic stress disorder and what all, some will claim such behavior was deeply irresponsible, immature, etc. Eh, I dunno. People nowadays pay good money at Six Flags to get the crap scared out of them on the roller coaster. We did it for free. CECIL ADAMS

VERMONTERS ON THE JOB
Aboard Certified
J NAME JOB LOCATION
IMAGE Jordan Silverman
im Melone gazes down the railroad track beside the Essex Junction depot, his eyes peeled for the shimmering headlight of the 8:58 a.m. Amtrak train out of St. Albans. Though Melone isn’t going anywhere himself, he rocks anxiously on the balls of his feet like an expectant father. The southbound Vermonter is only running four minutes late. Still, as the Essex Junction station master, Jim Melone Melone apologizes profusely to the Station Master 50 or so waiting passengers as Essex Junction though he personally caused the delay. “When I spoke to the previous station master, the reason he gave was ‘Issues with the train,’” Melone explains. “That can cover a multitude of sins.” Melone has been the Essex Junction station master for about five years. Several days each week, he opens the booth for two hours in the morning and two hours at night, mops the floors, answers the phones, collects lost items and calls in the arrival and departure times to a dispatcher in Boston. Though Amtrak ridership is increasing in Vermont, Melone doesn’t even sell tickets here — that’s all done online or over the phone. Melone describes himself self-deprecatingly as “a glorified janitor,” but it’s clear he loves his job. He’s that rare breed of civil servant who works out of a sense of vocation — in Melone’s case, a passion for railroading. In fact, Melone spent much of his life as a public servant. He’s worked for the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the IRS and the U.S. Mail. But his love of riding the rails blossomed during his stint in the service. “When I was in the military, my ‘rich uncle’ — Uncle Sam, that is — would ship me everywhere,” he says, dropping his Rs like a native New Englander. Melone has traveled by rail through much of the United States — across Georgia, Texas and Arizona, along the Great Lakes on the old New York Central, and up the West Coast on the California Zephyr en route to Vietnam in the 1960s. Melone doesn’t wear a uniform anymore — technically, he’s an independent contractor for Amtrak — but he still dresses the part. On the day we meet, he sports an Amtrak cap with a crossing gate pin on it, a white button-down shirt and a maroon tie with a locomotive motif. The only thing missing is a pocket watch. At 9:10, the train whistle sounds at a nearby crossing, the gates come down and the passengers gather their things. Melone tells them exactly where they’ll board — and sure enough, the train hits its mark. After the train departs, Melone phones in the passenger figures and departure times to the next station down the line. Next, he patrols the area for lost items. Occasionally, Melone says, he’ll find personal items such as jackets, purses and cellphones, which he endeavors to return to their rightful owners. “So, you look through a cellphone and all you find is ‘Mom and Dad’ in there,” he explains. “So you call up and say, ‘Hi, Mom. You don’t know me, but I’m the Amtrak agent in Essex Junction, Vermont. Do you have a son or daughter traveling the area?’ That’s a rewarding day.” SEVEN DAYS: Has your job changed much over time? JIM MELONE: It’s stayed pretty much constant. The only thing that’s changed is that we’ve all become more experienced in handling problems that come up. The first major crisis I had
was when a person got off here and . . . she was from Europe. Over there, the trains all run on time. So, when the train says it’ll be in Stuttgart, Germany, at 8:44 p.m., the conductor doesn’t tell you when to get off. If it’s 8:44 p.m. and the train stops, you get off.
So, when the train stopped at 8:44, it was supposed to be in St. Albans, so this woman got off in Essex Junction. How do we handle it? She had a connection to make in Montréal. Now we’ve got to find a taxi to take her there. Who’s going to pay for it? Can we hold the connecting bus up there? Once you get through that crisis the first time, the second time is easy. SD: What’s the most common problem you encounter? JM: In the morning, people who miss the train. Fortunately, no one did this morning. I have four different backup plans: Wait until tomorrow; send them down to Vermont Transit, which has a later bus. We can also send them across the lake on the Champlain Ferry and catch the Adirondack out of Fort Henry. Or they can rent a car. SD: Besides taking care of the station and passengers, what else do you do? JM: I always do the roll-by inspection. It goes back to the antiquity of railroading, when all the employees were expected to watch the train as it went by looking for anything unusual, like dragging equipment, something projecting or bearings overheating. Today, modern detectors look for all that, but I still do it. SD: Have there been many accidents here? JM: About a year and a half ago, someone lost a leg out there. They got run over by a freight train. For the longest time, you could still see the blood stain on the rails . . . ’Course, the one nobody ever forgets was the wreck of the Montréaler. I think it was in 1984. I wasn’t even in the state at the time. That’s the one where the beavers caused the flood and washed out the track. SD: What’s the hardest part of your job?
JM: When somebody comes in here and doesn’t know where they’re going. Basically, they will leave a message on an answering machine, and they’ll never talk to a real person and say, “Will you meet me?” Then they get up here and the person isn’t here. Then things can go downhill real fast. The question becomes, do you know where they live? Surprisingly enough, they’ll often say no. “Do you have money to stay in a hotel tonight?” — and the answer is no. Then it gets really, really difficult. SD: Sounds like you feel personally responsible for making sure everyone is accounted for. JM: It gets a little tricky. At 10 o’clock at night, we’re the last place open on the street. We’re right here in the main business district, but there’s nothing else. The only other place that’s open is the Lincoln Inn. So basically, someone who’s here is without any support facilities. So, do you chew up all your change in the payphone? If you need to use the restroom, there’s nothing out here. If it’s the middle of winter and there’s a 30-mile-per-hour wind and it’s freezing, where are you going to stay? We try to get them somewhere with shelter. SD: What’s the best part of your job? JM: Getting everyone on their way and off safely. We get people from lots of other places — Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Africa, the Pacific Rim. I always think to myself, What was it like when I didn’t know how to navigate around? I remember when I was in Germany and didn’t know the language and didn’t know the culture. I had the hardest time trying to pronounce Zuffenhausen. Some German teenager helped me out. ’Course, they consider it a mark of education to speak two different languages. So I try to remember that to help people get on their way. m

urlington rocked, swung and generally got down over the second weekend of June. The Jazz Festival drew thousands to town, and, as if that wasn’t enough, it coincided with St. Michael’s alumni weekend and UVM’s orientation for the incoming freshmen. Between my regulars and the tourists, I was flat-out. Amid the Saturday-night craziness, I paused in front of Nectar’s to see what was doing. The sale of this quintessential Burlington night spot a few years ago was just what the old girl needed. The new owners made all the right changes, to the point where Nectar’s — in tandem with Metronome, the upstairs dance club — has regained its prominence in the downtown club scene. Among the sidewalk throng, I noticed, was a man holding a woman by her shoulder and arm. She looked to be in her early twenties, tipsy and reluctant to call it a night. The man was persistent, though, and gradually coaxed her to the curb, where he opened the front door of my taxi. “Janice,” he said, “you got money for this cab?”
Janet unbuckled her seat belt and adjusted herself in the seat, as if she was settling in for a while. “It’s Janet,” she said. “Sorry . . . Janet, do you need dough for this?” “I got money,” she replied, lowering her head to my eye level and throwing me a smirk. “All right, then,” the man said, assisting Janet into the shotgun seat. Though he was being genuinely helpful, something in his eyes said that he was glad to be, well, rid of this woman. Before leaving, he added, “Take care of yourself.” Alone with Janet, I asked, “So, where can I take you?” She named one of the many condo developments along Kellogg Road in Colchester, adding, “Do you know how to get there?” “I do,” I replied, and pulled a U-turn, heading up the hill out of town. “Whatcha listening to?” Janet asked with a kittenish shimmy of her shoulders. She was slender and wearing a short, brightly patterned cocktail dress, a retro style from the mid-’60s. With her long, straight blonde hair and mauve headband, it was a definite look, but something was off. Not so much in her appearance, I realized, but in her energy field, which felt disturbed, unbalanced. “What station would you like?” I replied. I learned years ago that when customers ask me what’s on the radio, what they really mean is, I don’t like what you’re playing; please change it. Janet mumbled, “Ninety-five TripleX.” I reached down and moved the radio

It’s awesome.” “Huh — Yahtzee . . . You know, I never have played Yahtzee. That’s with the dice, right? Or maybe I’m confusing it with cribbage.” Janet was staring blankly out the windshield. She had tuned out as quickly as she had tuned in. In silence, we turned onto Susie Wilson Road and then onto Kellogg. Her apartment complex was a series of small units, four to a building. She directed me to a parking spot in front of her place, and I shifted the vehicle into park. “That’ll be 12 bucks,” I said.

It arrived as a visceral sensation, as if a dark force had tapped into the A/C and was circulating through the vents, ushering in a bleak, heartless atmosphere for the human spirit. “No, I don’t know,” I said, trying to get things back on track. “I need to get back downtown, OK?” A sad, vacant expression came over Janet’s face, and, suddenly, she reached down toward the fly of my pants. I saw it coming and grabbed her wrist before she got there. “None of that, Janet,” I said softly. “You’re way better than this, honey — way better.” Without a word, she withdrew her hand. The shock of my stopping her seemed to have broken the spell. She took $15 out of her purse, handed it to me and quickly left the cab. I worked the rest of the night, made my money, but my heart just wasn’t in it. I couldn’t stop thinking about Janet. She had drawn me into her tortured world, and the heartache had seared me. My one solace, albeit a small one, was the knowledge that I’d be feeling infinitely worse if I hadn’t caught her wrist. �

CARS: WE LOVE ’EM. U.S. drivers burn about 60 million gal-
lons of gasoline per day. Almost everything about our lifestyle incorporates the automobile, from housing developments to drive-thru burger joints. But Americans are starting to realize their vehicular days are numbered. Reports suggest we’ve already reached “peak oil.” The last few weeks have brought another flurry of record-high gas prices. And transportation emissions continue to contribute to global warming. Vermont is ahead of the peak-oil curve, but only sort of. In 2000, the state had more than 14,000 miles of roads, and about half a million registered cars and trucks. Legislators spend roughly twice as much on new highway construction as they do on public transportation. There are still about 600 gas stations statewide, and the average Vermonter works 20 miles from home. So what’s with the car obsession? Must be a love-hate thing. What’s it like to live and drive during the last gasp of the gas-guzzler era? Through the Fourth of July, Seven Days is spotlighting car subcultures. Because chances are, they’ll be up in smoke before you can say, “Road trip!”
<CARS>
Time Machines Antique car collectors cruise back to yesteryear
N
owhere in the Vatican’s recently proffered Ten Commandments for Drivers do the words “Thou shalt not covet the cars of days gone by” appear. Apparently wistful sentimentality is not one of STORY the emotions that causes the sort of & IMAGE “primitive behavior” — i.e., road rage KIRK — that the pontiff so delicately KARDASHIAN denounced. Therefore, the thousands of Vermonters who restore, wax, pamper and dream about old cars can rest easy as they continue to indulge their passion without pissing off the pope. “Americans are in love with their cars, no doubt about it,” says Don Bourdon, 59, of Woodstock, an avid collector and builder of Stanley Steamers. What better way to profess a fascination with the automobile than to devote countless hours and dollars to the poor hulks that have been abandoned in the breakdown lane of history’s highway? Vermont has at least 37 antique car clubs scattered all over the state. They include the Classic Cruzers (Swanton), the Poor Man’s Car Club (Chester), and the Rutland Area Vehicle Enthusiasts, or RAVE. Not afraid of a little esoterica, Vermonters also embrace the TwinState Chapter of the Early Ford V-8 Club, the Vermont Independent Corvair Enthusiasts, or VICE, the Vermont Street Rodders (Colchester), and the Burlington-based Ferraristi Vermont (ownership of a Ferrari not required). All this info and more is offered by www.hemmings.com, the website of the venerable Hemmings Motor News. The monthly magazine, which bills itself as the “World’s Largest Collector Car Marketplace,” is headquartered in Bennington. Mark Bennett of Warren is president of the Green Mountain Region of the Automobile Club of America. He knows firsthand about the magical triumvirate of “antique,” “cars” and “Vermont.” His club, which has about 30 members, hosted the Vermont Tour, which took place on June 2-7. With the backing of the national organization, the Green Mountain group attracted 130 cars and 250 people. Some of the tourists trailered their precious cargo for thousands of miles — from as far as Wyoming and Oklahoma — so they could trade stories with like-minded souls on Vermont’s sparsely traveled two-laners. What is it about polished and preened jalopies that drives people to distraction?
DON BOURDON WITH HIS STANLEY TOURING CAR
“I have my theories, which may or may not be right,” answers Bennett, 59, who owns a 1960 Ford Thunderbird and a 1980 Porsche 911 Carrera. “There’s a certain creativity in older cars that causes excitement. They were designed by people, not computers, so they have a soul. The designers labored over them, starting with paper, then going to clay models. People are attracted to that, and it’s certainly true for me.” The other force driving antique automobile enthusiasts is memory. Older cars (25 years is the threshold for an “antique”) are powerful visual reminders of who we used to be and how we used to live. “People are interested in the cars they grew up with,” Bennett says. To the many baby boomers who are collectors, that means the cars of the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. For antique-auto apologists, cars with garish fins, whitewall tires and chubby fenders are as much technological way-stations as they are symbols of youth, innocence and vitality. To other, less romantic witnesses, the cars of yesteryear merely seem dangerous, noxious and inefficient.
So, have cars actually improved over time? “As far as being interesting and exciting,” Bennett confides, “no.” Those are strong words from the owner of a new car dealership — which he is. Mechanically speaking, however, he acknowledges that today’s cars are safer, more reliable, more efficient and better performing than their ancestors. A love for antique cars, then, is ultimately a choice of form over function, a surrender to that urge much maligned by enthusiasts of modern technology: nostalgia. Don Bourdon doesn’t claim to be immune to nostalgia. But his affection for the Stanley Steamer is rooted in a rare case of stewardship. Bourdon’s father Paul, along with a friend, purchased a 1912 Stanley in 1930 for $20. A few months later, Paul offered to trade his friend’s share for a one-tube radio and a handblock plane. Guess who got the better deal? Bourdon worked on the car over the years and drove it to New York City for the 1939 World’s Fair. He made it back to Woodstock (260 miles) in one day, over a circuitous, unpaved route, and got hooked on the near-extinct external-
combustion vehicle. Don and his late brother Curtis were raised in Steamers; though the last ones were produced in 1924, they were the cars of his youth. For 22 years, Don and Curtis ran tours in a 12-passenger Stanley Mountain Wagon out of the Woodstock Inn. Now Don has eight Stanleys, dating from 1905 to 1916. He doesn’t just collect and drive them; he builds custom Stanley boilers (where the steam is made), restores decrepit models to perfection, and fashions whole cars from the ground up, wood frame and all. Sitting in the cool shade of the enclosed porch of the home he shares with his wife Nancy, looking toward a pond and the lush mountain across the valley, Bourdon says collectors fall into two main camps: those who show their cars and those who drive them. The Bourdons are drivers, who are also called “tourists” with no pejorative connotation. They derive pleasure from operating and driving their cars, and have gone to great lengths to do so. To explain the fascination, Nancy paints a vivid picture of the couple’s
SEVEN DAYS | june 27-july 04, 2007 | feature 25A
trip through Grand Teton National Park in a 1911 Stanley Touring Car: “Here you are in this car, the top is down, you sit way up high, and you just take it all in — the smells, the sights; you see the sky, you see the mountains,” she reminisces. “When you’re in a modern car, it’s hot, you’ve got the windows up, the air conditioning on, and the view is so limited.” Before the Bourdons conquered the West, they took the Stanley to Maine and Newfoundland on their honeymoon. And before that, Don shipped a car to Ireland and England and drove it around for three weeks, becoming a member of the Steam Car Club of Great Britain. “I love that we have met people from all around the world,” Nancy says. “And I think it’s a great way to see the U.S. of A.” No doubt. But Stanley Steamers aren’t for the average motorist. Want to slip on the driving gloves, air up the pneumatics and feel the wind in your hair atop a Stanley? It’ll cost you at least $60,000 to pick one up, if you can sneak past the knights that guard the 400 or so remaining vehicles. Don Bourdon was lucky to have a head start, since the cars were practically members of his family. If the aspiring “tourist” can clear the hurdle of acquisition, he will find himself facing another one: engineering. The Stanley is no turnkey affair. “If you’re interested in running one, you have to know a lot about the vehicle,” Bourdon cautions. “You have to be patient and have a good sense of humor.” Patience, indeed: The car takes about 30 minutes to work up a head of steam before embarking. Then there’s the skill of actually driving while watching the gauges and manipulating

MARK BENNETT the many pumps, levers and knobs that control water flow, steam pressure, burner fuel and engine oil. Not that it’s difficult — just a bit complicated. Bourdon likens the difference between a Stanley and a gas car to that between a sailboat and a motorboat. “Sailing on a lake or an ocean requires a great deal of interaction between the sailor and the craft,” he says. “The success of the sailing has a lot to do with the sailor.” The Stanley, with its brass-era “brightwork” gleaming in the June sun, its tufted leather seats evoking the phrase “horseless carriage,” and its fragile windscreen like rectilinear granny glasses, fulfills the antique fantasy. It’s both Byzantine and beautiful; simple — with only 37 moving parts — yet eccentric. And it tells the central tale of automotive design: Evolve or die. When the automobile was invented in the late 1800s, steam power was a proven, 100year-old technology. It worked for what was then called the “standard pleasure car.” But steam gave way to a more user-friendly concoction — the internal-combustion, gas-powered engine. How long its era will last is the subject of much speculation. Meanwhile, antique car collectors will soldier on, reminding passersby what driving was like before everyone got in such a big rush. “In 1910,” Bourdon points out, “you couldn’t find a road that you could drive 45 miles per hour on.” �

DISPLACED AND DISAPPOINTED I almost couldn’t believe my eyes when I read Mike Ives’ article “Horsepower Haven” [June 13]. I’m a “displaced Vermonter” who has been living in Charlotte, North Carolina, for the last three years, and I still read Seven Days through your website. Living in Charlotte, I’m accustomed to hearing about the latest patch of land that’s been bulldozed for a new suburban development or the latest crime statistics for this economically stratified city, but I never — never! — expected to be reading about SUVs and Hummers in Seven Days . . . at least not without a strongly expressed opinion on their general wickedness. The Tousignants’ attitudes fly in the face of all that I’ve come to know as traditionally Vermont. “What’s global warming? Everyone has a car, right?” Yes, Bob, but not everyone has a car that, as you admit, gets as little as 5 miles to the gallon. Keep on trucking, Bob. With folks like you around, maybe we can destroy this planet before your grandson is old enough to own his own car. Brett McLane CHARLOTTE, N.C.
EXPOSING ABUSES I have eaten at East Orchid and I live not far from the “flop houses” where these alleged violations of human rights have occurred [“Hot and Soured,” May 30]. First, I hope someone investigates to verify whether this is happening or not. It sounds like there is a lot of evidence that it is. I certainly hope that village boards won’t
pass the buck back and forth and allow these abuses to continue. If the Village of Essex Junction enters into a deal with these individuals to build a facility that would increase this type of abuse of immigrants, then I am sorry indeed to be a part of this community. And I won’t be eating at East Orchid anymore. Thank you for this exposé, Seven Days. Barbara Benton St. Gelais ESSEX JUNCTION
GRAFFITI GOES BACK Regarding Mike Ives’ statement: “Since it first appeared en masse on New York City subway cars in the 1970s, graffiti has been recognized as an underground expression of anti-authoritarian, class and creative angst.” [“Talkin’ Tags,” June 13]. Graffiti’s history is much greater than that. Perhaps the most notable piece of ancient graffiti, the Alexamenos graffito in Rome, ridiculed early Christians by showing people worshiping a crucified donkey. The modern graffiti of which Ives speaks is marked by the use of paint, markers and other commonly available means of marking. Regardless, the difference between what we call graffiti and what we call advertising or propaganda lies in the fact that the latter are sanctioned by the power structure, while graffiti attacks conventional notions of personal and public property. From a contemporary art perspective, graffiti is no different than other forms of guerrilla art that tends to see no meaningful boundary between images and the environment. What bores me to no end about this sort of art in Burlington is the utter lack of creativity and innovation. Where are the screen printers armed with buckets of wheat paste wallpapering the city? Where are the artists who are placing images in the environment instead of on it? Tehran’s A1one (www. kolahstudio.com/Underground/ ?p=471) stencils existing signs. Montréal’s Neot-bot (www. myspace.com/_neoteny) paints locks and places them around the city. Too often, the tags in Burlington are no more than regurgitations of Sony’s last PSP ad campaign (www. wired.com/culture/lifestyle/ multimedia/2005/12/69741) or the old set of “Saturday Night Live.” Ric Kasini Kadour

Like many a 5-year-old, Tristan Timpone is going through a wizard phase.
PETER AND ANGELA TIMPONE WITH THEIR SONS LIAM, DYLAN AND TRISTAN
TOGETHER
ALONE Families with autistic children connect at camp story: mike ives images: matthew thorsen
But the boy is one of a growing number of Vermont children who practice a particularly esoteric strain of magic. Just ask his mother. Or his occupational therapist. Or his speech pathologist. Two years ago, Tristan was diagnosed with autism. Although his condition is considered “high-functioning,” his parents have nonetheless been forced to reorganize their lives around it. Affected children typically require enormous amounts of treatment and therapy just to function, let alone get better. That can relegate both kids and parents to social purgatory. So this winter, when the Starksboro-based Common Ground Center approached Tristan’s mother, Angela, about attending an autism-friendly family camp the weekend of June 15 — the first of its kind in Vermont — she was quick to sign up. But Common Ground organizers also wanted Timpone, a former event planner for thenCongressman Bernie Sanders, to help promote the camp. Timpone’s story evokes a common refrain: Parents of kids with autism have to advocate and fundraise for activities most people wouldn’t think twice about — including vacations. Timpone, 32, used to teach figure skating 30 hours a week, but now she’s got too much going on at home. She and her husband, Peter, have two other young children, two dogs and one overbearing cat. Peter works full-time as chief information officer for a textile company in Tunbridge. Though she still manages to teach skating about 10 hours a week, Angela now spends most of her time with their kids. That is, when she’s not lobbying for autism legislation at the statehouse. Statistics suggest Autism Spectrum Disorder — an umbrella term that encompasses five variations of autism — is growing exponentially. The Atlanta, Georgia-based Centers for Disease Control can’t confirm that ASD is the “fastest-growing developmental disability in the United States,” as was reported by The Burlington Free Press on June 20. But a recent study by the CDC determined that about one in 150, or approximately half a million, American children suffer from the disorder — roughly a tenfold increase over the last decade. Those numbers likely reflect doctors’ increasing familiarity with autism. But regardless, federal legislators predict that annual autism-related health-care costs will rise from the current $35 billion to an estimated $300 billion by 2015. In Vermont, the rate of autism diagnosis has been increasing by about 20 percent per year since 1997, according to a state specialist. But advocates suggest state institutions lag behind the demand for services. An autism-friendly camp, therefore, isn’t just a nice idea, but a sign that autism awareness among Vermont parents could be reaching critical mass.
It’s Friday afternoon at the Timpones’ weathered, white-shingled house in Montpelier. The babysitter has cancelled, leaving Angela to manage solo. Camp, an hour’s drive from here, starts in, well, an hour. “I’m just getting a few things together,” Timpone explains, welcoming a reporter into her cramped kitchen. Seven-month-old Liam looks out quizzically from the crook of her arm. His mom is dressed in a brown T-shirt and black dress. Despite her myriad responsibilities, she looks surprisingly relaxed and elegant. “I still have to vacuum, but we’ll do that before we go,” she announces, as if someone else were helping out. The scene in the Timpone living room could be an episode of “Fawlty Towers,” except that no one speaks with an English accent and all the starring characters are under 5. A vacuum languishes on the floor next to a baby crib. Dogs bark upstairs. Three-year-old Dylan sits at the diningroom table in front of a large pan of dried beans, smiling mischievously. “Wizard Tristan,” as he prefers to be called, has removed all the couch cushions and piled them around the room. Now he’s dancing around the living room in front of a
SEVEN DAYS | june 27-july 04, 2007 | feature 29A
computer playing Monsters Inc. To top things off, the cat, perched between Dylan and the beans, is whining like a fire truck. Timpone puts the baby in his crib and resumes her task of unpacking groceries from a cloth bag, also on the table. The activity is a routine one, but today it appears practically Sisyphean: Every few seconds, a new minidrama erupts, and every time Timpone returns to the bag it appears full again. “Oh, you want to play with the beans?” she asks Dylan. “But you have to play with them in the pan. Otherwise, the dogs will eat them and their poopies will be really big.” “Uh-oh,” says Dylan, spilling the beans. Then Liam does a headstand in his crib, and Timpone rushes over to rescue him. “Why are you doing that?” she asks the infant. Meanwhile, the cat is trying to get some attention. “MEEEEOOOWW,” it cries. “Max, you know what?” Timpone says, pushing it aside. “Scoot!” From an outsider’s perspective, Tristan, who has short-cropped hair, light blue eyes and rosy cheeks, is easily the best-behaved member of this cast. While Timpone tries to keep her other kids safe, the boy continues his inspired waltz, only crossing the dining room’s threshold to offer the occasional pithy remark. Otherwise, he acts as if he were home alone. “I hate vegetables,” he says distractedly while Timpone unpacks a box of “EnviroKidz” cereal. “They’re not yummy. I like hot dogs, Momma.” “Yeah, you do,” Momma agrees. “But we can’t bring those with us. We can bring tofu dogs, but you don’t like those anymore.” Tristan’s aloofness is no mere personality tic, but a classic manifestation of autism. “If the movie wasn’t here,” Timpone admits, “you’d see that it wasn’t a real back-and-forth communication.” As if to illustrate her point, Tristan returns with a blanket. “What would you like the blanket for?” she inquires, looking directly at him. The boy shifts on the balls of his feet, mutters something, and then migrates back to his movie. “See?” she concludes. Timpone explains that, until he switched medications a few months ago, her son had been plagued by a cruel assortment of physical ailments. Tristan went days at a time without sleeping. At school, teachers reported, he would walk around in circles all day. He once went 28 days without moving his bowels. Timpone exhales heavily. “God, it’s just unbelievable,” she confesses amid the clamor. “It’s like a black cloud. And even if it lifts . . . you can’t get above it.” Perhaps more frightening than Tristan’s medical history is his inability to communicate pain. Timpone says the only indicator of her son’s constant discomfort has been his artwork. To demonstrate, she points to a few boisterous crayon drawings of stick-figure men hanging next to a Sabra Field print. Tristan began drawing people only a few months ago, while on the new meds. For contrast, Timpone moves into the living room and removes another drawing from a towering stack of papers. In this earlier work, Tristan’s crayon lines are smaller — indeed, stunted. Three simple drawings depict “T” — for his name — a door and a roof. It’s as if the boy had attempted to communicate his sense of imprisonment. Timpone closes the laptop and collapses onto the displaced couch cushions with Dylan, Tristan and baby Liam. The boys plead for another movie. “No,” she declares firmly, in answer to their protests. “We’re going on our trip.”
The Common Ground Center’s family autism camp complements a recent groundswell of legislative action on both federal and state fronts. Last December, the landmark Combating Autism Act appropriated
TRISTAN AND DYLAN TIMPONE
I refuse to have people not accept us, or accept him. We’re not hiding anymore. We’re gonna do the same old stuff no matter how hard it is. ANGELA TIMPONE nearly $1 billion for the expansion of federal autism-related research, treatment and intervention. A follow-up bill, which was introduced in March by Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and sponsored by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), is moving through committee. In May, the Vermont legislature approved S.121, a comprehensive autism bill that provides for an “interagency initiative” to “enhance services” for individuals with ASD. Given the scope of the epidemic, however, those efforts might not be sufficient. In spite of President George Bush’s stated commitment to autism, the CDC spent only $15 million last year on autism monitoring and education — about the same amount earmarked for anthraxrelated initiatives. And in Vermont, while S.121 represents groundbreaking autism legislation, it doesn’t earmark any funds for services. Vermont’s Department of Education is the biggest single provider of autism support in the state. As of last December, there were 582 kids with ASD in its special-education program, compared with just 13 in 1992 — a figure that doesn’t include children under 5 or over 22. In 2006, each special-ed student cost Vermont taxpayers approximately $16,000. That figure is misleading, however: There are egregious disparities in services offered through special education, according to both advocates and a state official. While every school district is served by a community mental health agency, only three sub-agencies specialize in autism. That means affected kids outside Chittenden, Washington and Addison counties have a tougher time obtaining care. Home services are a different story. Timpone, whose child is high-functioning, pays $6000 per year for home consulting. If she includes all associated costs, her out-ofpocket expenses range between $15,000 and $20,000. Had Tristan been diagnosed before 2001, a Medicaid waiver program would probably have picked up most of those expenses. But that year, state legislators discontinued comprehensive services for most parents with newly diagnosed children. Some services are still available. Medicaid will, for example, subsidize “personal care attendants” for parents of kids with autism. Two
state autism specialists — coincidentally both named Claire — help parents access assistance. The state also offers services such as psychiatric care and employment assistance to individuals 22 and older who suffer from the disorder. But that’s not enough, according to Lynn George, president and founder of Autism Support Daily, the state’s most prominent autism advocacy group. Personal care attendants, while helpful, are underutilized, she says; her organization has calculated that, on average, parents use only 64 percent of their allotted hours. She and Timpone suggest that’s because attendants — who make $10 per hour, without benefits — are often either underqualified or prone to transience. George doesn’t want to discourage caregivers from helping children with autism, but says she’s concerned about institutional spottiness. For instance, she’s astonished that caregivers aren’t subjected to federal background checks. “Parents need help,” she insists, “but they cannot find people to care for their kids. And their kids may be very hard to deal with.” What could explain this apparent lack of commitment on the part of state government? The problem may reside in a general unfamiliarity with autism itself. Relative to other disorders, ASD is the new kid on the block — even though symptoms of it were catalogued as early as the 18th century, the term “autism” wasn’t officially coined until 1943. The American Psychiatric Association didn’t differentiate it from schizophrenia until 1980. Besides, since symptoms of ASD are as diverse as they are understudied, recognizing it can be a confusing endeavor. An individual with higher-functioning Aspergers’ syndrome, for example, may not appear to have anything in common with another who is nonverbal. Both individuals’ conditions, however, could be classified on the autism “spectrum.” In spite of these obstacles, Vermont parents are mobilizing. Autism Support Daily was instrumental in the recent passage of S.121, the state autism bill. According to Claire McFadden, an autism specialist with the Division of Disability and Aging Services, George’s group is one of about 10 similar organizations in Vermont, all of them created within the last three or four years.
But even McFadden, a state employee who supported the recent legislation, confirms George’s claim that current services are inadequate and uncoordinated. “Families are very frustrated,” she notes, likening the legislative process to a “meat grinder.” She adds, “It’s been five years now [since the cut in Medicaid funding], and I have no idea if we’ll ever see money again to open up that service for kids. For five years, it hasn’t happened.” Vocal parents such as George and Timpone offer a more pointed critique. “It’s a plan to make a plan,” Timpone, who serves on Bernie Sanders’ Disabilities Advisory Council, notes wryly of the bill. She characterizes the process of applying for autism services as a “mystery,” suggesting, “It doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of support from the agencies.” Even if the state beefs up autism services, parents of kids with ASD will still be in for an uphill battle. Since autism requires such enormous investments of time and money just to keep kids from regressing, it can be hard for parents to strategize, much less find a common set of concerns around which to rally. After all, even though it’s not clear what causes the disorder, each parent and doctor subscribes to a favorite theory. A popular one holds that the disorder is linked to gastrointestinal issues. Another points to genetics. And, according to a recent article in The New York Times, controversy is raging anew over a book that suggests the disorder stems from mercury content in children’s vaccinations. These squabbles aside, some parents don’t have the time or interest to get involved. “If you’re working and have other kids,” Timpone says, “do you really want to be reading a book on autism?” For this mother, the autism camp — assuming Tristan doesn’t have a major meltdown — will be a respite from an exhausting daily routine. But Timpone also views it as an opportunity to reach out to other struggling parents. “Bottom line, families are stressed,” she insists. “If they don’t have time to reconnect with each other . . . Who can survive that?” Even Timpone, a seasoned activist with a >> 30A

supportive spouse, has her moments. She says her estrangement from friends felt most acute about this time last year, when Tristan hid under a table at a crowded party. She burst into tears out of frustration. “Those moments are really tough,” Timpone divulges. “But I refuse to have people not accept us, or accept him. We’re not hiding anymore. We’re gonna do the same old stuff no matter how hard it is.” In spite of her assertion, however, Timpone admits she’s concerned that the camp might be too much of a shock for Tristan. Kids with autism are usually comforted by repetitive behaviors, so something as innocuous-sounding as a “weekend jaunt” can throw them into a tailspin. Indeed, though storms are predicted, Timpone’s main concern isn’t weather-related. Instead, she’s worried Tristan won’t be able to function without his prized videos. “It’s going to be an interesting withdrawal,” she states ominously. 3x5-NRG060607.indd 1

In Vermont, the rate of autism diagnosis has been increasing by about 20 percent per year since 1997. Awareness among Vermont parents could be reaching critical mass. excuse to veg inside, or a reason to get outdoors before a thunderstorm hits. The Timpones choose the former. Seated at the end of a long, empty table by a carton of EnviroKidz cereal, Angela and Peter look exhausted. In another corner, Tristan and Dylan sit quietly with six other children in front of a massive television screen — sure enough, camp organizers have bowed to parental requests for a movie. “Make sure you stop it before it starts cycling,” Timpone warns her husband. The weather’s indecision seems appropriate: At first glance, it’s impossible to tell whether this three-night camp has been a success. That families from all over the Northeast made the schlep in the first place could be considered a triumph. But at worst, the scene here underscores each family’s sense of isolation. That assessment applies to the rest of camp, too. To the uninitiated, a tour around the Common Ground Center property suggests that activities are disjointed and unstructured. For instance, later on in the “Kid Barn,” Tristan mounts a tricycle in the “motor skills” area and rides it as if he were a loose electron. In an adjoining “Wonderful Wizard Workshop,”
3x8-VTCollege061307.indd 1
6/12/07 8:43:12 AM
children fly around spewing contrails of paint and glitter. To this particular crew of campers though, the scene represents a domestic fantasy — an environment where children with ASD can let their hair down without being stigmatized. Such controlled chaos is only possible because every parent and volunteer has agreed to watch out for all children, not just the ones they came with. That’s crucial, since some kids with autism are prone to “bolting,” or running away. “We were all strangers with one common thread,” explains a euphoric mother from Pennsylvania. “But autism is no longer that thread. Now we’re talking about, ‘Oh, look at that bug.’” “Everyone’s kind of watching out for safety,” says Common Ground Center co-founder and co-director Jim Mendell, adding that the participants at this weekend retreat could be better behaved than his usual clientele — i.e., families with kids who aren’t disabled. Tristan is no exception: He’s been churning out art projects like a Renaissance master. Earlier, he created two new wizard wands and a collection of colorful drawings — most of them populated by bubbled-handed stick figures. Oh, and he made a card for his new girlfriend, a smiling 7-year-old from Morrisville.
As if to test their newfound independence, mom and dad decide to leave Tristan and Dylan in the Kid Barn while they walk up to the family campsite. “It feels safe here,” Timpone observes. “I’m comfortable to let Tristan go with someone else [because] they’re not just going to let him wander off.” Strolling up a dirt path with Mendell, the Timpones look like die-hard fans on the last day of a bluegrass festival. A tag sticks out from Angela’s shirt, and her sneakers have seen better days. Peter — who for the first time in eight years has lasted nearly a full weekend without turning on his laptop — has undone the top buttons of his Hawaiian shirt. Their unpolished appearance speaks more to a sense of adventure than surrender, however. Peter admits he’d felt “a little reluctant” about this weekend. But after the first night, he realized what a “great community” he’d fallen into. “It can be isolating to have an autistic child,” he acknowledges. “But here, everyone’s sharing the same boat, and it’s comforting.” That goes for other parents, too, who pow-wow every morning in workshops and discussions. In fact, the camp was designed in part to precede an annual autism conference this week at the Doubletree

Accordingly, Timpone stresses that she wants to make this camp more accessible. She’s 55 Main Street, Suite already planning to help Mendell fundraise for version 2.0. The camp administrator glows with appreciation. Mendell, bearded and effusive, has been co2x5-Champobgyn051607.indd 1 directing the camp for 14 years, and he knows a thing or two about grassroots advocacy work. “We need to fundraise,” he confirms. Parents of children with autism, he adds, “can’t afford much of anything.” When the trio returns to the Kid Barn, the atmosphere has changed. That’s because sunlight has begun to shine at full strength again, and many of the kids are abandoning their arts and crafts for the lure of the outdoors. Tristan, however, sits alone in a back alcove, hard at work on some drawing or magical accoutrement. He doesn’t look upset, or even tired. Rather, his features have glazed over, as if he were hoarding a secret. “Tristan, do you want to come to the creek with us?” his mother asks. “I need a girl,” he declares flatly. “MollyRose is a girl,” she offers, motioning to Mendell’s 16year-old daughter. “I’m a girl.” In spite of this offer, Tristan shakes his head and mutters, “No creek!” Timpone looks at her husband, fatigue flickering over her face. Tristan’s mood swing is a characteristic behavior. It’s also proof that autism, while it can be transplanted to summer camp, doesn’t disappear when clouds go away. “Do you wanna push this?” she whispers. The couple decides not to. Left alone with some camp volunteers, Tristan doesn’t appear to notice as his parents walk out the door. The Timpones, with Liam and Dylan, step out into the brilliant sunshine with Jim and MollyRose Mendell. The group strolls across a parking lot, then descends a steep slope to the riverbed. Here in the valley, sunlight sparkles on ferns in tiny, delicate patterns, and the rush of air off the water seems to lower the temperature a few degrees. Dylan, clad in only a pair of undies, skips along out front. “Maybe Tristan doesn’t have to be interested just like us all the time,” Angela reflects softly. “But he has some social skills that are appropriate. Sometimes it’s OK for him to just be by himself.” �

The stocky 63-year-old recently relocated from an office on South Champlain, and he hasn’t finished unpacking; the walls are bare, the floor strewn with boxes.

JM: Probably nothing. I haven’t had a whole lot of contact with Apple since I left in 1984. SD: Why did you leave? JM: It was pretty clear the company was changing drastically. John Sculley was coming on as CEO. He and Steve Jobs were co-CEOs when I was there. It was very clear that his idea of Apple culture was different from Steve’s. Shortly after I left, when the Macintosh came out, Sculley basically took the company over. I wouldn’t have been happy working there under that organization. It wasn’t very open.

your hand, so there’s no problem with it sliding off. SD: I read somewhere that you suggested its screens have rounded corners, which is still a Mac feature today. JM: We had a very open design group in the Macintosh division, where we would walk through the software people’s area, and they would come by our area. So one day I was walking by and Andy Hertzfeld, the guy that was doing the user interface, had the screen lit up, and the edges were just sharp, naturally. I said, “Andy, our bezel here is round. Instead of a sharp edge on that, could you put a radius on there that would match this radius, so it all looks like it goes together?” He reprogrammed it in about a minute and a half. And it looks really nice. This curve is sort of continuous. We had all of our drawings hanging on the wall. At that time there were no electronic drawings. They were all on paper. We had them on poster racks with a red pencil dangling on a string. And we encouraged anybody, including the janitor, if they were walking by, if they had a suggestion or if they didn’t like something, to circle it and put their name and phone number, so we could call them and get their input. Everybody was kind of working toward the same goal. SD: Is there anything else you helped design that’s still in use today?

people lined up out front to sell us something when we’d come into work. And if they got lucky enough to get an appointment with Steve Jobs, they’d have about five minutes. If they couldn’t excite him in five minutes, he’d get up and walk out. And that was it.
SD: Like the opportunity to teach at UVM? JM: I started a course 14 years ago at UVM called “Integrated Product Development.” It’s about everybody working together rather than serially. I worked at Mattel Toy Company one summer. They did everything serially. The creative group would do a toy design; then they’d slide it under the door to engineering. You’d take whatever they gave you; then you obviously had to change it — it had to obey the laws of physics, and minor things like that. Then you’d do your design, and slide yours under the door to the manufacturing group, and they’d change it because some parts couldn’t be made the way they were designed. And at the end of a ninemonth or one-year period, there was a giant review meeting, where the creative group and the president of the company would all get together and see the physical product, and they’d look at it like, “What the hell is that?” That’s very inefficient, as you can imagine. It would be much better to have everybody working together in one big room, and

It will not be with the mouse. That’s kind of old. It’ll be with touch screen and voice activation, voice recognition. SD: Does that ever creep you out?

Turned Off Rating the “Nielsen family” values
I STORY
MEGHAN DEWALD IMAGE
SUSAN NORTON
have a confession: I don’t like watching TV. The boob tube has the potential to suck me in completely, and since there are so many other things I want to make time for, I figure I just can’t afford to turn it on. Saying this now feels like a betrayal of my childhood, though. As a kid, I used to bathe in cartoon-conveying cathode rays at every opportunity — meaning, whenever my family visited a relative with cable. My brother and I grew up on a peripatetic visual diet of PBS, not because of any holier-than-thou media theories on our parents’ part, but because the local New Hampshire station’s weak signal was usually the only one our Northeast Kingdom set could pick up. Now, aside from an abiding fondness for “Dr. Who” reruns and nature documentaries with deep-voiced narrators, I can’t stand the stuff, particularly its ubiquitous presence in public places. (Regular patrons of laundromats, bars and medical clinics, beware.) So I was surprised to get a mid-May phone call from Nielsen Media Research, Inc., the company that has been tracking TV viewing since the industry began in the 1950s, and now offers ratings for more than 40 countries. The lady on the line asked if my household would agree to complete a survey during a “sweeps week,” one of four periods per year when adver-
tisers pay to find out who is watching what, and when and where, so they can allocate their commercial spending loot accordingly. I hesitated, saying that I had a TV but never watched it — the last time I’d plugged it in had been for a
cheesy holiday-party viewing of White Christmas. But the persuasive rep said that was OK, and mentioned a thankyou stipend. Since my phone
totaling $30, so new and flat it seemed they’d been ironed. A bit weirded out by receiving cash in the mail from an institution, I pocketed the dough and flipped through the booklet. With the exception of a website address on its cover for users with ques-
The lady on the line asked if my household would agree to complete a survey during a “sweeps week.” number is listed under the moniker of a faux detective movie character, I hemmed and hawed for a bit, but greed eventually won out over privacy concerns. I gave her my real name, thinking it would be hard to cash a check made out to Mr. Rollo Tomassi. I needn’t have worried. A week later, a Priority Mail packet arrived addressed to “The Dewald Home,” with a TV diary booklet and a letter thanking my husband and me for being a “Nielsen family.” Also inside were two crisp bills
tions, the diary looked like it hadn’t been redesigned since 1972. The TV icon on its cover had square edges so sharp they looked dangerous. I was to fill out the initial survey about household size, ages and cable or satellite access, then keep a daily log of anything we watched, recording the show’s channel number or station call letters under the grid that corresponded to the exact hour. That part would be easy. I’d just draw an X through each day, noting we hadn’t watched anything. Apparently, that’s OK with the Nielsen powers that be: If you have a TV screen in your house, they want to know how it’s being used, even if it’s not.
SEVEN DAYS
Some homes get “set meters,” little devices that connect a TV to a phone line to track the power switch and channel changes, sending the info to Nielsen HQ automatically at the end of each day. But lots of booklets are mailed, too, and thus pen-and-paper jottings and consumer honesty let the commercial producers know how to most effectively sell stuff. In addition to the almost patriotic attitude the Nielsen reps try to inspire about the job’s importance, a $10-to-$30 bribe is thrown in to inspire conscientious recordkeeping and timely return of the booklet in a postage-paid envelope. Curiously, Nielsen, Inc. wants to know if you rent a VHS tape or a DVD and watch it on your TV, and they’re just starting to track usage of TiVo and similar “digital video recorders,” which are wreaking havoc with advertisers’ marketing plans because such devices allow viewers to skip commercials entirely. But they don’t care if you usually consume media via a computer — DVDs rented or purchased and watched on a screen, or YouTube and video blog segments downloaded from the Internet. That’s the demographic my husband and I happily inhabit. Despite our shared TV aversion, we’re not audiovisual teetotalers: We have a Netflix account, and gladly patronize our local DVD rental place for spur-ofthe-moment movie nights. If there’s news we need to know, we usually find it online. You’d think advertisers would want to know that, but it’s not part of the survey. The only spot for me to mention it was in a brief “comments” section on the TV diary’s last page, which I filled with a mini-essay in tiny script. I had to do something to earn that 30 bucks. At the end of the Nielsen week, we sold our TV. We’d been meaning to for a while — at 28 inches, its black bulk took up a lot of space in our bedroom, and I was tired of looking at its huge, heavy, dead eye. A group yard sale with friends presented an excellent opportunity — or so we thought. We’d just finished laying out all of our stuff when it started to rain. A woman came by as we were throwing a tarp over our humungous set, and we were glad to have her cart it away for $15, working DVD player included. So, apologies to all you regular viewers out there. If “Studio 60” finally gets cancelled next season, you’ll have at least one scapegoat. But look on the bright side: With any luck, in a year or so you’ll be able to rent a DVD of past episodes, à la “Arrested Development.” How you watch it is your business. �

Twisted Tales Theater review: Into the Woods
O
nce upon a time, our parents read us classic fairy tales at bedtime. Golden-haired, applecheeked characters such as Little Red Riding Hood personified the forces of good, which always triumphed over dark, hirsute STORY embodiments of evil, such as the Big Bad ELISABETH Wolf. An adult look at the Brothers Grimm, CREAN however, reveals complex and sometimes sinister undercurrents swirling beneath the Into the Woods, seemingly simple storytelling. directed by Gregory Ramos, What did the Wolf really want with produced by Granny and Red? Which appetite was he St. Michael’s actually looking to satisfy in that lonely Playhouse. cottage at forest’s edge? What motivated McCarthy Arts Center Theater, Red’s journey in the first place? Stephen Colchester. Sondheim and James Lapine’s 1987 musiJune 27-July 1, cal Into the Woods pokes into the dark Wednesdayplaces of childhood stories and comes up Saturday at 8 p.m.; with answers that are definitely not for matinees kids. Sondheim, who wrote the music and Saturday and lyrics, and Lapine, who wrote the book, Sunday at 2 p.m. fracture a fistful of traditional tales and $30 ($24 matinees). reassemble them into a startlingly fresh take on characters we think we know. And they invent gut-wrenching surprises for what happens after Happily Ever After. St. Michael’s Playhouse kicked off its summer season with a spirited production of this technically ambitious and musically challenging show. University of Vermont theater professor Gregory Ramos directed and choreographed a well-prepared cast, filled with many returning St. Mike’s summer-stock vets.
side of the characters’ indecision. By the second act, the action grows considerably darker. Confusion leads to chaos and a surprisingly high body count. In the St. Mike’s production, Act I opened with three giant storybook “pages” on stage. These served as backdrops for a trio of tableaux introducing the show’s principal, intertwining storylines. Cinderella wants to attend the king’s festival at the castle across the woods and get her groove on dancing with the Handsome Prince in a beautiful ball gown. Jack’s mother wants her slow-witted son to sell their underperforming cow, his beloved pet Milky White — a deal he later reluctantly brokers, for some Magic Beans, in the forest. In a new tale, an impoverished baker and his infertile wife strike a deal with a demanding Witch, whose daughter turns out to be the tower-bound Rapunzel. To remove the curse of childlessness, the crone demands a tribute of four specific items in three days. This requires the couple to venture into the woods to beg, borrow and steal from other characters. Before the couple departs, Little Red Riding Hood drops by to get bakery treats for Granny, who, of course, lives on the other side of the woods. Because Sondheim and Lapine use familiar stories, they delight in subverting the audience’s expectations by playing
Sondheim and James Lapine’s 1987 musical Into the Woods pokes into the dark places of childhood stories and comes up with answers that are definitely not for kids. Dreams, desires, goals, morals and the distinct lack thereof — all clash mightily as the characters from different tales collide in the blended story’s big, scary, titular stand of twisted timber. The giant trees of Carl Tallent’s elaborate set loomed over the characters’ continually unfolding crises. Coiled with menacing, kinetic energy, the lumber looked ready to spring to life at any moment, like the Fighting Trees that threaten Dorothy and company in The Wizard of Oz. The forest is one of literature’s oldest metaphorical places in which to get lost and found, and to figure out right from wrong. Dante’s Inferno begins: “In the middle of my journey, I found myself in a dark woods.” The Italian immediately hooks himself up with the ancient poet Virgil to navigate hell’s unfamiliar landscape. Cinderella, Jack (of Beanstalk fame), Rapunzel and the rest of the Woods crew lack a savvy Wizard or sage Roman guide, and have to lead themselves out of danger. In the original fables, spunky heroes and heroines follow clear destinies — to the Happy Ending. Here, final destinations prove elusive as the characters fumble and stumble, tripping up themselves and one another while pursuing conflicting and changing quests. In the first act, Sondheim and Lapine exploit the comedic 2xfp-VTMozart062707.indd 1

with the original plots and manipulating the characters’ motivations. Red and the Wolf engage in risqué repartee. Cinderella vacillates about committing to her royal Mr. Right. And Rapunzel — an emotional basket case from spending her teen years confined to a turret — lets down her hair . . . and gets knocked up with twins. After characters get what they think they want, at the end of Act I, small fillips of dissatisfaction creep in. Picture-perfect princes and princesses turn out to be men and women with less-than-perfect marriages. (“I was raised to be charming, not sincere,” the philandering Handsome P. admits to his wife, Cinderella.) The moral compromises that led to Happy Endings ultimately undo them, and a vengeful, nearsighted Giant makes the characters pay a heavy price. At nearly three hours, the show itself is long, and Sondheim’s style lacks the traditional musical’s payoff of big, toe-tapping, hummable tunes. So a successful production must aim for what director Ramos and music director Tom Cleary did, in fact, achieve: Keeping the audience engaged on multiple levels, with captivating visuals, clever acting and spot-on attention to the score’s complex rhythms and intricate lyrics. Tallent’s gorgeous scenic design successfully fashioned a scary picture-book world:
SEVEN DAYS | june 27-july 04, 2007 | feature 39A Brothers Grimm with a touch of Maurice Sendak. Stage platforms painted to look like Moroccan leather book spines rested on their sides throughout the forest, and two giant “book” towers flanked the stage. Maroon and teal green were the touchstones of the color palette for the set, as well as for Sarah Moore’s fantastic array of costumes. Wig and makeup design went uncredited in the program, but the Wolf ’s sexy salt-and-pepper whiskers and the Witch’s craggy prosthetic chin were particularly notable. Acting was strong across the board; most of the 17-person company are Actor’s Equity pros. The comic standout was Andrew Zane Fullerton, in his brief, literally sidesplitting work as the Big Bad Wolf. He channeled a deliciously predatory version of sexy: a lovable lupine pedophile wannabe, who naturally gets into the sack with Granny, too. Fullerton was also terrific as Cinderella’s Prince, a smiling, redhaired rogue who always entered the stage with the flying leap of a fencing master. His comic timing with royal brother Adam Sansiveri, as Rapunzel’s Prince, oozed with self-conscious silliness, especially in their two versions of the song “Agony.” The duet paints love’s two sides: as anticipated, and then as experienced. Portraying the childless couple, John Patrick Hayden and Andrea Wollenberg gave outstanding performances. As the baker and his wife swirl in and out of the other characters’ storylines, the pair effectively showed how the sturdy, “real” folks try to remain sane while the world grows increasingly bizarre and capricious around them. Hayden’s supple baritone and Wollenberg’s flexible alto provided the anchor for many of the
show’s musical numbers. Sujana Chand made a fearsome, fiery and fetching Witch. She conjured a complex and compelling character, the center of a moral universe where everything is etched in shades of gray. Her smooth, powerful vocals were especially moving when the Witch pleads with her troubled daughter, Rapunzel: “Stay With Me.” As Cinderella, Abby Lee also created a rich psychological portrait of a not-so-simple storybook character. Charlotte Munson — a hoot in last year’s Pirates of Penzance — played drama queen Rapunzel teetering on the brink of sanity with operatic flourish. The girl can scream! Marc Tumminelli delighted as the slightly dumb Jack. He sang with warmth and exercised a sharp facility (as did most of his castmates) with the fast, often tongue-twisting lyrics. Among the leading roles, the only weak link was the singing voice of Lilly Tobin, as Little Red Riding Hood. Although her high-pitched, nasal tone didn’t undermine her speaking part, it gave a grating edge to her singing performance. Into the Woods is an adventurous show and the most exciting offering on St. Mike’s summer calendar. The woods confound the “shoulds and shouldn’ts,” the baker’s wife learns, as the characters struggle with endless obstacles — internal and external — on their serpentine, sylvan journeys. Sondheim and Lapine use the world of fairy tales to show us how surprising choices can quickly arise — and that unexpected answers may lurk behind the next tree. �

S EXHIBIT “The Traveling Artist”: Paton Miller, Jerald Swope, Ethan Hubbard, Judith Stone, Simon Parkes and Susan Abbott exhibit works about, or inspired by, travels around the globe. Helen Day Art Center, Stowe, 253-8358. Through August 25.
ARTWORK “Untitled, Mexico 1989” by Paton Miller
PHOTO Marc Awodey
ome artists bring home more than memories from their travels. “The Traveling Artist,” at Stowe’s Helen Day Art Center, gathers paintings, assemblages, photography, sketchbooks and illustrated journals from a diverse group of creative sojourners, whose voyages ranged from Asia to Ecuador and Mexico to the windswept Outer Hebrides. The result is a dynamic show. Author and photographer Ethan Hubbard is the artist who spent time in the Outer Hebrides, a chain of islands off Scotland’s northwest coast. His black-and-white images are documentary, but in the best tradition of that genre: beautifully composed, technically flawless and alive with narrative content. Hubbard’s portrait, “Learning the Ropes,” of an old man and a boy working on a boat is built on a gently rising diagonal. The boat’s bow rises just slightly above the sea’s horizon. Hubbard also presents a Himalayan collection of eight photographs taken from travels to Tibet and India in 1980-81. His roughly 13-by-16-inch “Drop Spindle Woman, Nepal” captures an elderly woman making yarn while sitting in a darkened doorway. Her face of wrinkled parchment conveys a confident focus on her task and bears a subtle smile. Judith Stone ventured to Tokyo 20 years ago and returned with color photographs, which are now employed in shadow-box assemblages dated 2006. “Tokyo/Upsurge/Kimono I” and “Tokyo/Upsurge/ Kimono II” are 24-by-60-inch vertical compositions
juxtaposing lug nuts and rusty bits of metal with drawn images of machine details and 5-by-7-inch prints of stylish, kimono-clad mannequins. The industrial details and bright figurative photos obliquely reference Tokyo’s skyscrapers, its continual construction and ubiquitous billboards. Susan Abbott has been visiting Provence every summer for the last 10 years. An aggregation of objects cluttering a tabletop in “After the Market, Provence” distills elements of her sojourns. The design of her 22-by-20-inch oil still life on linen is a framework Abbott visits regularly. Her online artist’s statement notes, “The tabletop format creates a dramatic contained space, a stage for the objects. The aerial perspective allows for a very abstract design, but also a realness to the things on the table.” So the disarranged group of flowers, stamps, playing cards and nectarines is more arranged than first meets the eye. Abbott’s less formal “Provence Studies I” and “Provence Studies II” are much simplified and equally successful. On each of the 24-by-36-inch horizontal sheets, she has collaged three 8.5-by-11-inch digital prints altered with freely applied, brilliantly hued aqua media — perhaps gouache, perhaps ink. As free as plein air sketches, Abbott’s studies of narrow streets and archways seem perfectly complete in themselves. The Helen Day’s West Gallery is packed with 35 paintings and drawings by Southampton, New York,
artist Paton Miller. The prolific artist has traveled extensively in Latin America. As his multifarious large-scale drawings of people and the places where they live attest, his travels are certainly productive. Immediately noticeable in Miller’s works are a ceaseless search for form and a mastery of materials unencumbered by rote techniques. He seems to approach every surface and subject with completely fresh eyes. Miller’s large-scale canvasses begin as travel sketches, then are completed from memory in his studio. “Highlands of Ecuador” is a stark 47-by-38-inch oil on highly textured canvas, presenting animals as near silhouettes in dim evening light. The similarly scaled “Mountains of Ecuador” is a panoply of rooftops nestled on a mountain plateau, surrounded by hulking peaks. Miller’s “Untitled, Mexico 1989” is less formal than his grand canvasses, yet equally rich and successful. His 22-by-29-inch, stringy and rough-toothed paper is unstretched and heavy with paint. The scene is simply a fishing boat pulled onto a beach by a man with two oxen. But the drawing is lyrical; Miller’s colors elegantly echo Mexico’s red-tiled roofs and azure sea. It seems as if wayfaring artists are always in search of greener pastures to paint. But, of course, not all creative types enjoy travel. Matisse, for one, found himself overcome by boredom on a three-month trip to Tahiti in 1930. His studio overlooking Nice, on the French Riviera, was probably paradise enough. m

Disaster Waiting to Happen Welcome a new gaming genre. Fitting neatly between the survival horror of countless zombie games and the action platformers made famous by the 3-D Mario titles, it might be called “disaster survival.” While only a handful of examples exist to define the category, with the release of “Raw Danger,” we need a term for it. The game eases into its subject matter, starting you out as a banquet waiter in a fancy hotel situated in a near-future city that floats in the middle of a giant bay. You flirt with your fellow waitstaff, run errands and serve mineral water to the mayor. But the banality doesn’t last any longer than it does in the best of disaster cinema. Heavy rains, telltale leaks and a damp carpet foreshadow an impending flood. When walls of water sweep away hotel guests and hotel walls alike, the waiter predictably emerges as the hero. Wading through a waist-high torrent in a floor-length apron, you must navigate all sorts of disaster hazards — like sparking electrical wires and blocked passageways — while trying to find keys and stay warm. Ah yes, stay warm. By speeding up the natural process of hypothermia, the game simulates urgency: You need to find places to warm up and dry off — or else. The game sticks to the disasterfilm formula made famous by such great epics as The Towering Inferno and The Poseidon Adventure, in which every solution gives rise to a new complication. This treadmill of adversity provides a straightforward adventure-game structure, in which looking for items and solving puzzles takes up most of your attention. It’s also the mythic spine on which the designers string a particularly involved story-line. Ample opportunities for dialogue selection nudge the action one way or another, while the interaction of three different stories creates “aha!” moments when choices you’ve made as one character turn out to affect what

you can do as another. The linear problem-solving, lastgeneration graphics and high-schooldrama-club voice acting may turn some players off. But, as when you’re watching an old B-movie survival flick, you may find yourself being sucked in regardless of the second-rate production values. And, to be fair, although the sets and setting don’t feature the shine and gloss of an AAA title on the PlayStation 3, the game manages to capture the bigger-thanlife excitement that disaster-based entertainment should provide. The game’s water doesn’t look real. But rushing through the collapsed lobby of the title’s opening level still produces tense excitement. Each interlaced plotline holds enough tension to keep you sloshing around, looking for a piece of rope or some other item that will keep the story moving along. More than anything, “Raw Danger” — and its predecessor, “Disaster Report” — show that as long as you
come up with a plausible narrative and include enough jeopardy and excitement, you can make a game about anything. Who’s It For: Narrative-heavy and relatively straightforward game play makes “Raw Danger” a friends-ofthe-couch game. It may lack Ernest Borgnine, but the Poseidon Adventurestyle disaster-survival plot offers plenty of places for wisecracks and comments from the friend watching you play. If You Like This, Try That: With so few real examples of disaster-survival games to choose from, the natural place to look for more of the same is “Disaster Report,” the precursor to “Raw Danger.” Best Part: The game’s publisher must know that the title looks a little out of date. Given that it’s priced at $14.99, you can like it only a third as much as you like your other games and still find it a real value.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Welcome to
Part Two of your outlook for the second half of 2007, Aries. We’re checking up on how you’re progressing with the long-term tasks you were assigned six months ago. I hope that by now you’re seeing how much you have to learn. This has been and will continue to be an ideal time to act like a student in every phase of your life. But I also hope you’ve started to realize how much you have to offer as a role model, mentor and guide. Amazingly, this is a year when you can generate unpredictable magic as both a student and a teacher.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Welcome to
Part Two of your outlook for the second half of 2007, Taurus. We’re checking up on how you’re progressing with the long-term tasks you were assigned six months ago. I hope that by now you’re beginning to infuse your life with more of the wildness you need. I trust that you’ve been enjoying a host of thrilling adventures and ingenious experiments — especially the kind that serve your highest ambitions.
GEMIN
I (May 21-June 20): Welcome to Part Two of your outlook for the second half of 2007, Gemini. We’re checking up on how you’re progressing with the long-term tasks you were assigned six months ago. I hope that you’ve been working hard to upgrade your skills in the art of relationship. Have you taken any workshops or read any books that have helped you become a better lover and collaborator? Have you meditated on cracking open the secrets of inspired and inspiring sharing? Even if you haven’t done much, there’s still time to accomplish miracles. Through the end of December, you’ll continue to attract cosmic luck whenever you break any bad old habits that have hurt your ability to give and get the best from your intimate alliances.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Welcome to
Part Two of your outlook for the second half of 2007, Cancerian. We’re checking up on how you’re progressing with the long-term tasks you
were assigned six months ago. I hope that by now you’re better organized and more disciplined than you’ve ever been in your life. The astrological omens suggest that the year’s best rewards will come if you’re relentless in clearing out clutter, working with maximum efficiency, and having precise and well-formulated plans. If done right, your intense attention to detail will help win you access to profound new levels of inner peace.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22): Welcome to Part Two of your outlook for the second half of 2007. We’re checking up on how you’re progressing with the long-term tasks you were assigned six months ago. I hope you’ve been capitalizing on the fact that this is the Year of Well-Earned Luck in Higher Love. It has been over a decade since your romantic evolution has been as ripe for rapid progress as it is now. Remember, for best results, keep your priorities screwed on straight: Always focus more intensely on the pleasure of giving the beautiful love you have to offer than on your hunger for the love you have always wanted to get.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Welcome to
Part Two of your outlook for the second half of 2007, Virgo. We’re checking up on how you’re progressing with the long-term tasks you were assigned six months ago. I hope that by now you’re at least midway through a transformation of your relationship to family. That might mean you’re leading a revolution to reinvent your family of origin. It might mean you’re making decisions about how to shape the family of your future. It could involve you working hard to ensure that you have a closeknit group of people, not necessarily related to you biologically, to serve as a reliable source of emotional sustenance. Or all of the above.
LIbRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Welcome to Part Two of your outlook for the second half of 2007, Libra. We’re checking up on how you’re progressing with the long-term tasks you were assigned six months ago. So let me ask you: Have you been practicing discernment as you’ve

explored the mysteries of variety? Have you been trying a host of different alternatives, but without dissipating your focus? The danger is the opportunity; the opportunity is the danger: In the next six months, you’ll either refine your intelligence or waste your intelligence as you experiment with combining things that have never before been combined. You’ll either embody the archetype of the promiscuous dilettante or the archetype of the versatile master of improvisation.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Welcome to
Part Two of your outlook for the second half of 2007. We’re checking up on how you’re progressing with the long-term tasks you were assigned six months ago. I trust that by now you’re supremely composed as the changes whirl around you and within you. I mean, you will always be the zodiac’s master of transformation; you’ll always thrive on going through ceaseless, deep-seated shifts that would terrify most of the other signs. But if you’re taking advantage of this year’s cosmic opportunities, Scorpio, your eruptions of abracadabra! are being buffered by a profound grace. Your experiments in turning lead into gold and garbage into treasure are proceeding with a generous-spirited poise. Now you’re ready to take it to the next level of relaxed elegance.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Welcome to Part Two of your outlook for the second half of 2007, Sagittarius. We’re checking up on how you’re progressing with the longterm tasks you were assigned six months ago. I hope that by now you are cashing in on the fact that this is the Year of the Supercharged Libido and the Spiritual Orgasm. Not only do you have extraordinary reserves of physical energy available; you also have access to what amounts to a kind of metaphysical lust, whose primal power can enable you to smash long-standing mental blocks and break on through to the other side of anything you want to break on through to the other side of.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Welcome to Part Two of your outlook for the second half of 2007. We’re checking up on how you’re progressing with the long-term tasks you were assigned six months ago. By now you’ve probably figured out that it’s the Year of Secrets. Truths that have long been hidden from you are emerging, and if you keep on probing, the rest will spill out between now and December. Certain feelings you have been concealing from yourself are also bubbling up into your awareness. Fuzzy understandings that have previously hindered your ability to see the big picture are finally coming into focus as well. Don’t fear or resist these developments, Capricorn. They will free up a lot of blocked energy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Welcome
to Part Two of your outlook for the second half of this year, Aquarius. We’re checking up on how you’re progressing with the tasks you were assigned six months ago. I hope by now you’ve guessed that this is your Year of Harvest. Projects you’ve been working on for many moons will be reaching their full ripeness in 2007. Trends set in motion more than a decade ago are culminating. Keep this exciting news in the forefront of your awareness between now and December. Like a great artist in the last stages of a masterwork, be intent on finishing up this long-term cycle with a flourish.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Welcome to
Part Two of your outlook for the second half of 2007, Pisces. We’re checking up on how you’re progressing with the long-term tasks you were assigned six months ago. I hope by now you realize that this is your Year of Getting Your Career in Gear. It may or may not be a time when you’ll climb to the top of the heap and score fresh privileges and new clout. But it’s definitely a time when you can move closer to making a living from doing what you love.

1408 HHH
I DOOM SERVICE Cusack’s haunted-hotel head trip is worth checking into.
n The Shining, Stephen King gave us a serious case of the creeps using a sprawling mountain resort. Maybe he’s improved with age, because all he needs to whip up a first-rate freakout these days is a single hotel room. Mikael Håfström is no Stanley Kubrick, to be sure. But his adaptation of King’s 2002 short story offers a welcome reminder of the chill factor a horror film can generate without resorting to the nihilism of torture porn. John Cusack stars as a failed novelist turned travel writer who specializes in purportedly haunted destinations. He’s semi-famous for a series whose latest
installment is entitled “Haunted Hotel Rooms.” All of these are touristtrap scams, of course, but as a jaded writer, Cusack is willing to cash in on the gullibility of the public: He recommends places using a rating scale of 1 to 10 skulls. For the final chapter in his book, he decides to spend a night in room 1408 of Manhattan’s high-end yet low-profile Dolphin Hotel, after an anonymous piece of mail alerts him to its bizarre history. On arrival he’s led into the office of the establishment’s manager, played by Samuel L. Jackson, who offers him a glass of expensive Cognac and records of the more than 50 deaths that occurred in room 1408 before the owners closed it to the public. He’s also repeatedly urged to reconsider his decision. After so many years of playing the game, however, Cusack’s character can’t pass up the possibility of a brush with what he senses is the real deal. Warned that no one lasts more than an hour in the room, he takes the elevator up and settles into what appears to be an ordinary suite complete with the customary mini-bar, business center and adult
movie service. “OK, show me the rivers of blood,” he wisecracks into his tape recorder. It will be the last time he jokes about being in a Stephen King movie. The next thing he knows, the clock radio blasts the Carpenters’ “We’ve Only Just Begun” and resets itself to begin a countdown from 60 minutes. The further Cusack gets into that hour, the closer he comes to total mental meltdown. The spookiness kicks off tamely enough: A window slams shut on his hand. A succession of ghosts stride across the room and leap into the night. His door won’t open. The windows vanish. There’s no escape. Before long, though, he’s looking back at those first few moments as the good times. They’re a pleasant memory in comparison with the acid-fueled nightmare that follows. If de Sade had built an amusement park, the rollercoaster might have been like this. Fans of old-fashioned horror should enjoy their stay in room 1408. The filmmakers make effective use of haunted-house conventions and come up with a few inventive twists of their own. Cusack gives his most compelling performance in years. While the screenwriters have toyed with King’s source material somewhat, I doubt anyone who notices will take umbrage. The few tweaks result in some of the picture’s most unsettling touches. In the grand scheme of things, 1408 ranks closer to Christine than Carrie in the canon of King adaptations. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a wild ride or worth your time. On the contrary, Håfström’s latest is a mind-bending trip through the looking glass, one I can recommend without reservation. RICK KISONAK
Once HHHH
C MUSIC AND LYRICS John Carney serves up melodic romance without the Hollywood sugar coating in this Irish indie.
an a movie musical capture the realities of urban life? Judging by the gorgeous candy-floss Paris of Moulin Rouge or the warbling bohemians of Rent, one would have to say no. (Don’t even mention MTV’s illadvised Carmen: A Hip-Hopera.) But a small Irish film called Once may convince you otherwise. True, it isn’t a traditional musical, in which crowds of random people suddenly break into song. When the hero stands alone on the street and pours out his heart in a ballad, it’s because he’s a busker on a slow night. When the heroine sings duets with him, they’re collaborating on an album; the climactic scenes take place in a grubby recording studio. Call it a film with a bunch of music, or a concert film with a fictional romance tacked on. Glen Hansard of Irish rock band The Frames and Czech pianist Markéta Irglová, who play the leads, collaborated on the score in real life; writer-director John Carney is Hansard’s former bassist. The filmmaking is cheap and gonzo, much of it done on Dublin streets with a long lens and no permit. Not surprisingly, it looks grainy and gritty, and the budding relationship between the two musicians — called simply “The Guy” and “The Girl” in the credits — is no fairy tale. After young immigrant Irglová hears Hansard angsting it up on his battered guitar, she woos him by offering a broken vacuum cleaner — he fixes them in his dad’s shop. But when he eventually asks her to spend the night, she balks. Both characters are on the rebound, still writing songs about other lovers, which gives their own developing connection a special awkwardness and poignancy. In the midst of this kitchen-sink realism, Once has
moments when sounds, character and setting dovetail as magically as they do in any classic, suspension-ofdisbelief-demanding musical number. At one point, Hansard gives Irglová a track he needs lyrics for and a battered CD player on which to play it. (These people live in a world without iPods or cellphones.) While she’s listening in the small apartment she shares with her mom and young daughter, the batteries die, so she hies it to the corner market in a bathrobe and fuzzy slippers. As Irglová hurries back down dark streets with her powered-up Discman, singing her own lyrics to Hansard’s melody, the camera tracks backward facing her in a long, unbroken
shot, and we hear his voice join hers. The sequence captures what it’s like to be so enrapt by a good song that the world becomes a stage for your emotions — or so you imagine. It’s like a downbeat, low-budget version of that famous title number from Singin’ in the Rain. The film’s soundtrack is best described as pop-tinged folk rock written by and for people who’ve had a lot of bad break-ups. If it comes out sounding closer to Elliott Smith than to James Blunt, that’s partly because of the raw earnestness of the performances. Hansard, who looks like a redheaded version of Chris Martin from Coldplay, might be easy to dismiss as yet another sensitive-songwriter-guy-with-facial-hair. But he shows us the busker’s shyness and fear of failure without making the character too self-consciously endearing. Irglová is the real revelation here, though: Just 19, she’s utterly natural on-screen. When she first approaches Hansard, she looks mousy in her thriftshop clothes, meekly peddling magazines to passersby. But when he tells her he’s through writing songs about his ex, she answers without hesitation, “Bullshit,” and we see the first hint of a character who has no patience for put-ons. She’s a strong-minded artist who happens to be an immigrant single mother; no one plays that card for pathos in this movie. Once is the sort of movie that will leave some people cold and inspire others to buy the soundtrack and put it on repeat. It’s not perfect, but it’s completely unexpected. If you’re a fan of low-fi musicals or a closet romantic, this is one “chick flick” you should be able to watch without an eye-roll — even if you’re a guy. MARGOT HARRISON

Ruby Fruit Jungle eat, drink and be berry in Vermont’s strawberry season by SUZANNE PODHAIZER
T
here’s nothing like the first bite of a bright-red spring strawberry. The flood of tart, complex juice is sure to waken taste buds dulled by the starchy comfort foods of winter. As our short strawberry season wends on, the flavors begin to change. Lengthening days and climbing mercury give rise to darker berries with sweet, jammy overtones. While the early berries are complemented by a touch of sugar and splashes of heavy cream, the later ones are perfect for eating out of hand. Preferred method: Standing in the berry patch on a sunny day with leaves tickling your ankles. And the Green Mountain state has an abundance of places where you can do just that: The Agency of Agriculture’s website reports 90 strawberry growers in the state, who produce nearly 2 million pounds of berries each year. It also offers a list of places to get your pick-your-own fix, from Addison County to Windsor County. If you don’t have time to DIY, you’ll find farmstands listed, too. Unfortunately, you can’t hang out all day eating in the berry patch — unless you happen to own your own. And since people invariably pick more berries than they’re going to eat (don’t you?), here are a few ideas for using the leftovers, proffered by some local experts. Whether you like your berries hot in a scone, cool in a cheesecake or icy in a granita, we’ll get you out of your jam. And if you’re in search of something a little more potent, we’ve got that, too. Don’t
use booze? Go for a swig of strawberry lemonade. Use them or lose them — by the first week in July, those fresh local berries will be history. But don’t fret about the season ending: It just brings us one step closer to blueberries. Katy Lesser, Healthy Living, South burlington Deliriously Wonderful Strawberry Pie Comment: I’ve made this strawberry cheesecake pie for many, many years . . . one year I made 27 of them for a friend’s wedding! Preheat oven to 350 degrees Crust: 1/2 pack McVitie’s Digestive Biscuits (these are super-duper graham crackers) 1/4 cup sugar 1/3 cup melted butter In a food processor, process the McVitie’s and sugar until fine crumbs form. Add the butter and pulse until combined. Press this mixture into a pie plate, coming up the sides to make a neat edge. Filling: 1 8-ounce package cream cheese 3 eggs 1 cup sour cream 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Have all your ingredients at room temperature. Combine, mixing until smooth

and creamy. Pour into your shell and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and lower temperature to 300 degrees. Cool for 20 minutes. Cover with 2 cups sour cream mixed with sugar to taste. Bake for 5 minutes. Take 1 pint perfect, ripe, glistening,
gorgeous Vermont strawberries, hulled and halved, and decorate the top of your tart with concentric circles of these beauties. You will have a magical, delicious, deliriously wonderful dessert! >> 0 B

Tart Shell: 1 2/3 cups flour 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1 1/4 sticks unsalted butter 2 egg yolks 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 teaspoons ice-cold water Sift dry ingredients; cut in butter. Blend with your fingertips to the consistency of coarse meal. Mix egg yolks, vanilla and water and blend with butter mixture, using a fork, until well blended. Roll into a ball and chill for 2-3 hours. Roll dough between two sheets of waxed paper. Press the dough onto the bottom and
sides of a removable-bottomed tart pan, leaving the upper edge of the dough a bit above the pan. Make an edge with your fingers. Chill. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork, line the inside with foil and pie weights (or beans or rice) and cook for 8 minutes. Remove the foil and weights, and return to the oven until the edges begin to brown, 8-10 minutes. Chocolate Filling: 1 cup chocolate pieces (dark, semi-sweet, milk or white) 2 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons liqueur (orange or cherry, or whatever would blend well with the type of chocolate you use. Or none, if preferred.) 1/4 cup confectioner’s sugar 1 tablespoon water (or a little more)
Prepare strawberries (see below) before you melt chocolate. Melt chocolate slowly in a double boiler. Add butter and liqueur, if desired, and whisk until smooth. Add sugar and water, continuing to whisk. Pour into tart shell. Strawberry Filling: 1 1/2 pints strawberries, washed and with stems removed 1/2 cup currant (or other) jelly for glaze 1/4 cup white and 1/4 cup brown chocolate, melted separately While chocolate is still warm, place berries on chocolate, bottom side up, in a circular pattern. Melt jelly and brush over berries. Drizzle lightly with white and brown chocolate. Refrigerate to set, then allow to come to room temperature before serving. Enjoy! >> 0 B

The Green Mountain Chew Chew Festival: Feelin’ Choosy
H
ow often can you eat pulled pork, pad thai and pink grapefruit sorbet in one place? Hardly ever. It was supposed to happen at last weekend’s 22nd annual Chew Chew food fest on the Burlington waterfront. Unfortunately, scheduled participant Parima was mysteriously absent; hence, so was the pad thai. Luckily, the festival offered plenty of other yummy foods. The festival’s slogan is “Be daring & try them all!” — an imperative that posits patrons who are serious gluttons. Twenty-one businesses were represented. Have you ever eaten a 21-course dinner that included six desserts? Do you want to? A friend and I shelled out 40 bucks for tokens and shared 22 items from 13 different vendors. That was plenty. On Saturday afternoon, the ultra-diverse throng milled around to the soothing sounds of a steel drum band called Limbo Loco and a blues group called Left Eye Jump. The weather was perfect and spirits were high, as evidenced by people’s politeness as they waited in line. The abundance of chairs — 500 more than last year, according to the event’s organizers — may have contributed to the good mood. Not a single overheated person had to wait for a seat in the shade before she could chow down on her Belgian waffles or buffalo wings. Other good news: Nothing we tried was bad or inedible. True, there were a few lackluster items. The sweet & sour chicken from Hop Sing was just what you’d expect: deep-fried, battered chicken with a radioactive red sauce. The crispy exterior of the turkey and veggie samosas from Samosaman Natural Foods tasted a bit bitter, as if the chefs used the same batch of oil too long. A Cajun pork stick from Cajun ’n More wasn’t a strip of grilled meat with a spicy rub. It seemed to be ground pork mixed with barbecue sauce and stuck to a stick. What did we get excited about? The juicy, sweet Italian sausage from Kevin’s Wicked Mountain Sausages, which came in a sesame bun with a pile of sautéed onions on top. Another standout: the offerings from Café Mediterano in Essex. Both the stuffed grape leaves and the ground meat cevapi were full of flavor, and served with grilled pita and a portion of thick,

TASTE TEST
garlicky tzatziki. Big Fatty, in his first year at the festival, was dishing up pulled pork and pulled chicken. Both were smoky, spicy and good. Nectar’s had some passable ’cue, too, though their brisket is cooked 18 hours to Fatty’s 22. The celebrated downtown bar did boast the most vocal and probably the only rhyming staffer. His fave phrase: “If you’re gonna risk it, risk it on the brisket.” After risking it on the brisket, we moved on to dessert. Island Homemade Ice Cream’s pink grapefruit sorbet masterfully balanced piquancy and sweetness. My friend loved the coffee chip ice cream. And we braved the long line at The Skinny Pancake to get our hands on a strawberry “shortcrêpe” and a chocolate crêpe made with Nutella. Mmmm. Overall, the Chew Chew provided a good way to try a slew of foods for around $2 an item while spending an afternoon outdoors. The extra chairs were a boon. What was missing, besides the pad thai? More culinary diversity. This year, there were three places serving ice cream. And why did Samosaman and Ming’s get two booths each? At the same time, our non-Chinese Asian restaurants were underrepresented: no Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese or Indian food could be found. I hope to see them all there next year. Then I’ll be able to say that Chew Chew offers pulled pork, pad thai and pink grapefruit sorbet in one place, along with ponzu sauce, pho and pakoras.

Here Comes Dim Sum TanTra To Try new TasTes aT lunch
If you’re the type that gets steamed up over dim sum, the demise of Five Spice must have been deflating. But beginning this Thursday, you can get your dumpling on at Tantra on lower Church Street in Burlington. The establishment, just steps away from Five Spice’s old location, will do dim sum at lunch every Thursday through Sunday. According to owner Manatat Waiwong, the restaurant will eventually offer the small plates at dinner as well. What inspired the new menu? A gap in B-town’s dining scene. “I wanted to do that for a long time, but I saw that Five Spice had it, and didn’t want to interfere with that.” As at dim sum restaurants in major cities, carts laden with food will be rolled around to each table. Waiwong says they’ll have traditional red pork buns, a couple varieties of shiu mai, kim chee and mock duck with taro dumplings. White snapper with ginger will be the highestticket item, at $4.50. Portions of most other items will cost between $3 and $3.75 apiece. Waiwong’s plan is to begin with about 15 different choices, and eventually add a few more. Want tea with that? Tantra will soon offer a special one: blooming tea. Waiwong describes it as “a ball of tea you put in the water and it blooms up into a different color and flavor.” The pretty potable will be served in a glass mug for easy viewing.

Rieke is interested in shipping to individual customers via the Internet — one way to bring out-of-state food dollars into Vermont — but she says she wants to keep her wholesale markets close to home. “I’m more interested in pushing the envelope within the state,” Rieke declares, “within 100 miles.” Once Nutty Steph’s is producing at capacity, her focus will shift to improving the product and sourcing sustainable packaging.

wining and dining aT Price choPPer
Wine tasting isn’t only for folks who frequent fancy restaurants. This Saturday, Price Chopper on Shelburne Road shows off six wines, including Rosemount Shiraz and Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc, along with samples of specialty cheeses, store-made “artisan” breads and seafood. This will be the store’s third pairing since legislation made it legal for holders of second-class liquor licenses to pour for patrons. Why wine? Store manager Gary Trudo believes “there are a lot of customers who want to try wine, but because of the price point, they’re nervous . . .” Though not a wine drinker himself, Trudo came up with the idea. “I thought it was a great opportunity . . . I know how important wines are to the food table,” he explains. Trudo says most other Vermont ’Choppers now hold tastings, too. Don’t forget to bring your ID.

A couple of weeks ago, Nutty Steph Rieke went to the hospital. But the crunchy entrepreneur wasn’t sick; au contraire. She was on a mission: to get Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington to offer her granola as an alternative to “corporate sugar cereals.” At first it didn’t seem like she’d make much progress. “The buyer seemed uninterested,” she explains, “I spent about five minutes talking to him, and gave him a bag of granola and a smile.” The pitch worked, however, because the next day he contacted her “eager to get started buying right away,” she recalls. “Apparently, they have some

See for yourself at 60 State Street, Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. . . . A trip down Route 7 takes drivers past the burned-out shell of the Ferrisburgh Roadhouse, formerly known as Burdick’s Country Kitchen, which went up in flames last week. A peek in the window revealed recognizable objects, such as a Coke machine and what seemed to be a roll of twine, amongst the charred debris.

ALL About tHe beRRieS • Strawberries are related to roses, raspberries, apples and plums — but not to blueberries. • Despite the name, strawberries aren’t “berries” in the botanical sense. Each seed is technically a separate fruit; what we call a “berry,” scientists call an “aggregate.” • Strawberries are grown in every U.S. state and every Canadian province. • The average strawberry has 200 seeds. 1x2-StormCafe062707.indd 1

• In Bavaria, some folks still tie baskets of wild strawberries to the horns of their cattle. According to tradition, elves like strawberries so much that they’ll enhance calf and milk production in exchange for the treat. • Argentines considered strawberries poisonous until the mid19th century. The French were less fraise-phobic. Medieval monarch Charles V had 1200 strawberry plants installed in the gardens at the Louvre. Madame Tallien, a fashion icon at Napoleon’s court, was said to bathe in crushed strawberries.

• Native Americans called strawberries “heart-seed berries.” Perhaps the shape also gave rise to the legend that if you split and share a double strawberry, you’ll soon fall in love with your Page 1 co-eater. No word on what happens if you split a quadruple strawberry with three other people.

Strawberry Scones (makes six) 2 cups unbleached flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 4 tablespoons cold butter 1/2 cup cream or half and half 1 egg 2 tablespoons maple syrup 2/3 cup chopped fresh strawberries Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir baking powder into flour.
Cut in butter with a pastry blender. Whisk together half and half, egg and syrup. Add to dry ingredients and toss together lightly. Stir in strawberries, being careful not to over-mix. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. With floured hands, shape and press into a rectangle that is about 4-by-12 inches and 1.5 inches thick. Divide into three and cut each third in half to form two triangles. This gives you six triangular scones. Separate and place on a greased baking sheet.

Add vanilla and salt, and puree in blender or food processor. Strain through a fine mesh and transfer to a heavy baking dish. Put in freezer and stir every 15 minutes until ice crystals form. Continue until all liquid is frozen. Serve in chilled martini glasses with fresh mint. Adam Hausman, Adam’s Berry Farm, Intervale, Burlington Homemade Strawberry Lemonade Comment: This is a great summer patio drink — cooling, refreshing and full of vitamin C. 1 cup sugar, maple syrup or honey 1 cup lemon juice from five lemons — include the zest for a bolder flavor 2-3 cups fresh strawberries Mint sprigs Dissolve the sugar in 2 cups of water; add the lemon juice and zest and 2 more cups of water. Puree berries and stir into lemonade mixture. Some people like to strain the concoction at this point. I personally like it “garden style.” Pour into a jug with a handful of mint and chill. Great rejuvenating drink after a long day in the sun!

Berry Liqueur
Biggest BeRRy?
Comment: Not to sound like a lush, but . . . this is a wonderful nighttime unwinder. It also helps get you through the dark ages of Vermont winter! At least three months needed before enjoyment.
Paul Reynolds, 33, of Montpelier is making a sizable claim. The violist, who teaches at Middlebury College and plays with groups such as the Vermont Symphony Orchestra and the Vermont Mozart Festival, thinks he’s found the world’s biggest strawberry: He’s so sure he even posted a challenge on YouTube (www.youtube. com/watch?v=sqSdXY437to), asking people to reply with their own videos and “try to become the strawberry king.� How big, exactly? Reynolds’ berry came in at 5 inches long and 3 inches wide. Have the folks at the Montpelier Shaw’s, where Reynolds’ wife purchased the berry, heard about the video? When contacted, Darcy Perrault, the produce manager, was in the dark about her store’s new claim to fame. “I’m totally unaware of it,� she said, laughing. How about the growers in California who made all this possible? Anthony Gallino, vice president for sales at California Giant, hasn’t seen the video either, but plans to. He guesses the whopper is of the Albion variety, which is big and super-sweet. But before you assume this was a genetically modified Franken-fruit, consider that Vermont’s organic strawberry growers offer some almost comparable big ’uns, like the Cabot variety grown at Adam’s Berry Farm in the Intervale. From the West Coast, Gallino scoffs at the notion that the Reynolds’ berry is actually the world’s biggest. “There are some bigger,� he insists. The question is, who has ’em? Seven Days contacted Reynolds to ask a few questions about the super-fruit.
2-3 pounds strawberries, ripe as can be without being bruised Zest of 1 lemon 1 to 1 1/2 cups sugar, maple syrup or honey 6 cups vodka Place berries and lemon zest in gallon glass jar. Slowly dissolve sugar over low heat in saucepan with 1 cup water. Remove from heat. When cool, pour over the berries and fill the jar with water to eliminate air space. Place this in a cool, dark spot; let sit and try to shake once daily for 1 month. If you can, wait three or four months before tasting for sweetness — the flavor will be more pronounced. At tasting, depending on your personal tastes, you can add more sugar as needed. Now wait another two to three months and decant the liqueur. At this point, you can finally enjoy your efforts. This warming drink will keep for up to three years.

SEVEN DAYS: Do you plan to preserve the strawberry for posterity? Maybe you could varnish it or something. PAUL REYNOLDS: My plan was to preserve it . . . I thought about selling it on eBay, and I told my wife about that. But we agreed that, in transit, it probably wouldn’t last. SD: What did you ultimately decide? Did you carve it up like a Thanksgiving turkey? PR: My 2-year-old daughter’s eyes were so big when she saw it that I couldn’t resist giving it to her . . . she ate the whole thing.

SD: How did you come upon the strawberry? Did you comb through a bin at the grocery store? PR: It was in a regular container of strawberries. The top layer was made of normal-sized strawberries; the bottom was one big berry. SD: How did the discovery make you feel? PR: I felt it shouldn’t be for my eyes alone . . . I’m not sure it was supposed to be sent to me, but it was, and I get to share it with the world. SD: How’s that sharing thing going? Are people flocking to see it? PR: I’m playing Madame Butterfly at the Barre Opera House tonight, and my stand partner saw the video and is very impressed. I’ve had about 150 views so far [as of last Friday]. I’d like to reach 150,000.

A DATE THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY
Every now and then, when the stars and planets align just so, Burlington experiences the musical equivalent of a lunar eclipse. Though not listed in any astronomy guides, it appears that Friday, June 29, 2007, will be one such date. And it could quite possibly go down in local history as the best night music fans in the area have ever experienced. How’s that for hyperbole? Anyway, here’s the rundown. Those not living under a rock are likely already aware that everyone’s favorite Volkswagen schills, Wilco, are making a stop at the Shelburne Museum. The band’s new album Sky Blue Sky has been topping national and local sales charts for weeks now and has garnered a wide — and often amusing — variety of responses. While the middleaged champion of dad-rock, Rolling Stone, reverentially call it “understated, erratic, often beautiful, disarmingly simple music,” the kids at hipsterer-than-thou Pitchfork Media snarkily tab the record as “the stylistic equivalent of a wardrobe change into sweatpants and a tank top.” Adds my girlfriend: “It sucks.” I’ll reserve the right to withhold full judgment until after the show, except to say that, as with every Wilco album, appreciating Sky Blue Sky requires you to put aside whatever preconceptions you have about the band and approach the record with a clear mind. Sure, it’s an aural workout, but if the band’s illustrious track record is any indication, it’s worth it. It’s an early show, with experimental slow-core outfit Low opening at 6 p.m. Hopefully, that should give folks plenty of time to head downtown — after Wilco’s inevitable fourth and fifth encores — and check in with the rest of the goings-on about town. Though the timing might not work out for those coming back from Shelburne, the Tick Tick folks have an interesting lineup for the nonTweedy-inclined at the Kriya Studio. Local experimental freak-pop group Nosebleed Island relay their bizarre tales of Nazis and dinosaurs with the help of Zbear — the group’s 11-year-old drummer — a homemade robot and Dracula. As we now enjoy daylight until well past 9 p.m., the show’s 7 p.m. start must be somewhat distressing for musical vampires. Perhaps openers The Brixton Guns and Ira Glass’ favorite Burlington indie-rockers Ghosts of Pasha can stretch their sets past sundown. I’d bring along some garlic and a crucifix, just in case. Just over the river in Winooski, the ever-industrious Tick Tick kids are at it again, this time presenting an evening of superlative singersongwriters with Micah Blue Smaldone and Anna Pardenik. Smaldone was a founding member of the “politically pink” band The Pinkerton Thugs, but lately has been releasing a slew of wellreceived solo efforts combining Delta blues with neo-traditionalist folk melodies. Pardenik is a local chanteuse known for intense live performances, poetic songwriting and a seductive, sultry voice. The show starts at 8 p.m. at the Monkey House, whose new owners have been making a concerted effort to showcase a wide variety of interesting, offbeat music and thus far have been doing a spectacular job. At least someone in downtown Winooski is thinking outside

AGENTS ILL 6: CALI O PLANET ASIA AND RASC
begins his residency at Nectar’s. Actually, the Brooklyn-based MC doesn’t really look all that tough, and he incorporates a wide variety of styles into his polka-inflected hip-hop gumbo. He’s kind of like Beck . . . with an accordion. In any event, his residency runs every Saturday at 7 p.m. from now until July 22 and is totally free. Hip-hop hooray!
LUCY GOOSEY I’m guessing they won’t have an accordionist, but local jam-pop trio Lucy Vincent will also take up residence at Nectar’s next month. Hot on the heels of their second full-length release, Head of the Tide, the band has been touring extensively to — according to their website — “bring the world ultimate joy though music.” Isn’t that nice of them? Lucy Vincent play every Monday in July before heading back out on the road in August, presumably to tackle that little problem in the Middle East with some sweet hooks and a gnarly guitar solo or two. Good luck with that. THE BREAKING IN the box. Whoever’s responsible for Spinner Place, the mostly vacant, monolithic monstrosity across the street, I’m looking in your direction. Since I began this segment with a bit about dad-rock, it’s only fitting that I should close by mentioning The Breaking In’s CD release party at Club Metronome with The Jazz Guys and The Fatal Flaws. While they are dads, and they certainly do rock, this is not your father’s adult-contemporary Oldsmobile. Defying the conventional confines of age and good taste, the duo’s live performances are a sight to behold, typically involving porn-filled piñatas, copious amounts of PBR and, if you’re lucky, drummer Todd Haire drunkenly hurling himself into his minimalist set of skins. And lest you think the group is all about shtick, I suggest you read the illustrious Casey Rae-Hunter’s review of their new disc in this issue. Two jaded local rock critics can’t possibly be wrong, right? Dads looking to rock more comfortably can always head downstairs to Nectar’s and check out local Dead-tribute act Blues For Breakfast, but the porn-piñata stays with me.
WEIRD AL WAS A PUSSY
In your average hip-hop posse, it’s sometimes difficult to tell just who is the baddest dude in the group. Is it the guy with the do-rag and gold teeth? Not hardly. How about the cat with the gat sticking out of his boxers? Nope. Try again. Give up? It’s the homie with the accordion. Think about it. How badass do you have to be in order to be an MC that plays, arguably, the dorkiest instrument ever invented? While most rappers are out earning reps in the ghetto, you’re holed up in your mom’s basement with your squeezebox watching “Dr. Who” reruns and eating Cheez-Its. Just what, exactly, does someone like that have to do to earn street cred? Frankly, I don’t think I want to know, but it has got be baaaad. Maybe I’ll ask accordionist/MC Julz-A this Saturday when he

reviewthis THE BREAKING IN, THE BREAKING IN
AARON MORSE, CAN’T FIND MY RHYTHM
Punky two-piece The Breaking In are a local act that slipped under my radar during my time in the Queen City. They always seemed to get saddled with the opening slot at many of the shows I’d check out, and I was, of course, always fashionably late. If the duo’s latest self-titled effort is any indication, I was definitely missing out. The five-song disc splits the difference between primal garage rock and those abstruse Fugazi tunes featuring Guy Picciotto on lead vocals. The Breaking In was the last album tracked at Strangeways Recording before the studio relocated to Providence, Rhode Island. The overall production is in keeping with lo-fi punk, but the mix remains remarkably clear. No doubt Strangeways engineer Daryl Rabidoux is already missed by Vermont’s edgier acts. The short and punchy disc opens with “The Record Holder,” a sluggish noir-style number with leering vocals and relentless yet minimal percussion. Guitarist/vocalist John Ravell and drummer/vocalist Todd Haire sing in atonal unison, giving the song a sense of keening desperation. Waves of feedback wane before the song scuttles to an end. “Mas Fina” keeps the heat on high, with a chugging chord progression and primitive drumming. Imagine the Velvet Underground’s Moe Tucker pounding skins for The Cramps, and you’ll get a good idea of the song’s barely civilized urgency. More unusual are the lyrics, which are seemingly about bees. “Tell me I will be the drone / Feed me royal jelly / Mas Fina micro satellites crashing in the snow / Burning through the atmosphere / Hellcats flying, tiger warrior / Tantrum.” Mating in the insect kingdom ain’t pretty, and neither is this cut. The rubberband riffs on “Built for Speed” engage in a tug of war with the martial-sounding percussion. It’s unclear which side wins. The vocals are both guttural and warbly, calling to mind Jello Biafra’s Dead Kennedys days. The following track, “Mumbling Man,” is an old-school skateboard thrasher, all guitar splatter and furious drumming. Good luck parsing the meaning of the dissociative lyrics: “Can you arrest me Oxygen / Iron lung, breathe for me / Hit the floor all cut up / I’ll say this is not my home,” the band agitatedly sing. “Ebb & Flow” is a trashy, surf-rock number, beset by slashing guitars and thundering toms. It’s a wicked close to a mini-album full of terse and ornery art-punk. The Breaking In are as fine as any Vermont garage act I’ve heard. Catch them at their CD release party at Club Metronome on Friday, June 29, with The Jazz Guys and The Fatal Flaws. CASEY RAE-HUNTER
Don’t you hate it when you lose stuff? Car keys, the TV remote, virginity . . . wait a second. That last one was actually pretty sweet. Generally speaking, though, misplacing things totally sucks. According to the title of his debut album Can’t Find My Rhythm, it’s a problem that local singer-songwriter Aaron Morse
(Self-released, CD)

is intimately familiar with. Bummer, dude. Frankly, it’s not rhythm that the recent UVM graduate seems to have trouble finding. He’s certainly found one. But only one. Nearly all of the album’s 12 tracks groove along in the bouncy, strummed-guitar style of early Strangefolk or Jack Johnson, which has been copied by any number of acoustic jam-pop singers. It’s pleasant enough, I guess, but after, say, the sixth consecutive song, the feel gets a little stale. Once he’s added some new rhythmic patterns to his repertoire, Morse should poke around for his voice. I think it may have gone missing, too. It’s not a bad thing for a young artist to wear his influences on his sleeve, but through most of the record, Morse sounds as though he’s trying a little too hard to sound like his idols. I’m guessing he’s a big fan of Dave Matthews, as a healthy percentage of the songs here feature imitations of the iconic singer’s trademark melodic, rambling growl. The world already has one DMB, man. I don’t think we need another. But voice is more than just timbre and style. It’s an often-elusive facet of good songwriting that takes most artists years, if not lifetimes, to truly find. The hunt is on for Morse in this respect, too. Lyrically, he offers little more than overwrought observations and paint–by-numbers metaphors. From “Luck”: “Baby don’t you know, yeah / You better open your eyes / Spread your wings / You gonna fly.” See what I mean? Aaron Morse is a young songwriter and, like most performers who are just starting out, he’s raw. But beneath the rough façade there is talent. He’s a capable guitarist and, when not mimicking his heroes, possesses a naturally expressive baritone. It’s a solid combination that, with some seasoning and hard work, could help deliver on the singer’s potential. There’s no shame in swinging for the fences and striking out. The key is a willingness to step up to the plate again. Here’s hoping he does. Morse will perform at the Radio Bean Saturday, July 7. DAN BOLLES

night lights Vermonters boldly go Fourth this weekend. Statewide, the Vermont Symphony Orchestra offers concerts featuring Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, complete with fireworks. Burlington and Montpelier get their holiday groove on a day early, and Waterbury, Bristol and Warren host themed parades and sky shows bursting with pyrotechnic prowess. In Jeffersonville, the 40th Army Band offers oom-pah, while live groups elsewhere deal out danceable jams. Tots trot through an inflatable town in Essex Junction, or get their faces painted at a host of other family fests. Patriots who march to a different drummer can enjoy fife-accompanied readings of the Declaration of Independence at Fort Ticonderoga, a presidential tribute to “Silent Cal,” or the world’s shortest parade, which traverses Stowe’s minimetropolis of Moscow.

RADIO BEAN, BURLINGTON, FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 5:30-7:30 P.M.
pHoTo: MATTHEW THoRSEN
I sat at the bar nursing a Switchback and nervously watching mis amigos arrive. It’s been months since my short-lived stay in Barcelona, and I feared my Spanish would be too unsophisticated for Tertulia Latina, a Spanish-language conversation group that meets weekly at Burlington’s Radio Bean. But then I spotted a woman who, like myself, appeared to be a first-timer. Her confidence impressed me and encouraged me to join in. The man who seemed to be in charge of the gathering, Hugo Martinez-Cazón, was warm and welcoming, and didn’t hesitate to offer help with my pitiful speech. An environmental engineer from Argentina, Martinez-Cazón has been meeting informally with el grupo (the group) for approximately three years. I quickly learned that it got started as a simple engagement between Martinez-Cazón and a friend, who met just to hang out and talk as they would in cafés back home. I became so absorbed in the conversation that, when I finally took a look around, I was surprised to find myself sitting among 15 or so other people, whose language skills ranged from quasi-fluent to advanced. Some even came as far as Rouses Point, New York, to reunirse (meet up with) and charlar (chat) in castellano. The few English speakers remaining in the café had disappeared into the night, leaving Radio Bean to buzz Latinoamerican-style. What I liked most about the gathering was that its only purpose was to practice — and celebrate — the Spanish language. Before I departed, Martinez-Cazón pointed out something I hadn’t thought of: “Each person’s first language,” he said, “is an integral part of that individual’s personality and being.” Es importante que no olvidemos de esto (it is important that we not forget this)!

FOLK TALES Bluegrass doesn’t traditionally thrive on indie rock’s turf, but Boston-area musician Jake Armerding succeeds at bending and blending the two genres. With a decade of classical violin lessons under his belt and his first album in hand before he graduated from college, Armerding merges hip urban songcraft with strong instrumental skills on fiddle and mandolin — so says The Boston Globe, which lauded his newly released second album, Walking on the World. Typical ballad-form busters on the album include rhapsodies on a fleece jacket and references to red-eye flights. Jake’s dad, mandolinist and vocalist Taylor Armerding, heads the Vermont-rooted supergroup Bluegrass Gospel Project and sometimes sidelines in his son’s backup band. Catch an Armerding concert this Saturday — outdoors, weather permitting, with picnic suppers encouraged. Jake armerding

HONOR GUARDED Guantanamo Bay wasn’t a watchword when Aaron Sorkin used it as the setting for his 1989 play A Few Good Men. In the drama, military lawyers uncover a high-level conspiracy as they try to defend their clients, two U.S. Marines accused of murder. Or were they following orders? Sorkin purportedly scribbled the play on cocktail napkins during a stint as a bartender. It went on to a successful Broadway run and a 1992 film version starring Jack Nicholson, who famously scoffed at Tom Cruise, “The truth? You can’t handle the truth.” Left-leaning Sorkin went on to create the cult TV shows “Sports Night” and “The West Wing.” Audience members ponder the play’s questions about honor, duty and sacrifice while contributing to a good cause: Proceeds support the Vermont National Guard’s Family Assistance Fund. ‘A Few Good Men’

WHEELS OF FORTUNE Riding a bike is an essential skill, but hurtling downhill through the woods takes a whole new level of dexterity. Mountain bikers celebrate and expand their abilities this weekend at a group-ride fundraiser for the Catamount Outdoor Family Center. Adults get hands-on tips on trail building or learn how to execute jumps and other two-wheeled tricks in a park clinic, while kids absorb safety skills in a “mountain bike rodeo” co-sponsored by Burlington-based cycling advocacy group Local Motion. Games for all ages include pedal-powered relays and a “slow race” with the goal of finishing last, via feats of balance and backpedaling. After lunch, the Phil Abair Band covers classic rock during a swank silent auction, wherein bidders stake claims on a spanking new Redline single-speed.
High-impact bus ads get noticed by thousands of people each day, at a lower cost than other mediums. And, when you advertise with CCTA, you help support an important community service. Make CCTA your choice to complement your next marketing campaign.

Mistress
Maeve
Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust! Dear Mistress Maeve, My live-in boyfriend is a chronic masturbator. I wouldn’t mind so much if he would also pay sexual attention to me more than three to four times per month. I’ve tried wearing kinky outfits for him and asking flat-out for sex, but he would rather go online and masturbate to porn. I don’t care if he wants to masturbate, but kicking me out of the bedroom so he can jerk off to porn doesn’t seem right. I’m not a guy, so I don’t understand why men would want to look at a bunch of pixels on a screen, day after day, rather than touch a warm, ready and willing person who loves them dearly. Please help me; I don’t know what to do. Lost to Pixels
Dear L to P, In general, I have no problem with men — or women, for that matter — who prefer, every once in a while, to pop on some porn and get off solo-style. Let’s face it — after a long, stressful day at the office or with the kids, having sex with a partner can sometimes seem too laborious a task to undertake. Because getting off relieves tension and stress, couples should encourage masturbation for the betterment of their relationships. That said, your man is doing it all wrong. Perhaps he’s indulging his more prurient fetishes online? Whatever the reason, there’s no excuse for kicking you out of the bedroom on a regular basis. The two of you need to have a serious talk. Calmly and without judgment, tell him how his actions are affecting you and your relationship. See what he has to say about his one-handed-typing escapades — he might reveal some of his own issues about the relationship. Most importantly, let him know that, unless his solos become duets, you’ll be singing a different tune altogether. Masturbation is great, but only when the outcome is blissful orgasm and not hurt feelings. Lay down the law about him laying you down — or leave him behind.
Kisses,
MM

Jake Hello. I’m Jake. I am an 8 year old neutered male Shar Pei mix. I am a sweet and handsome dog looking for a gentle family. I am looking for a home with kids 6 years old and up and would be fine with another dog and cats too. Oh, and you’ll be happy to know that I know ‘sit’ and ‘give paw’! I was starving when my previous owner rescued me from an abusive/neglectful home. While there I suffered a twisted bowel (common to Shar Peis) and had surgery for it. I am not a voracious eater, but have put on a few pounds since coming to HSCC. I do have a history of chronic ear infections and the folks at HSCC feel that I may have food allergies. So, I will need to be on a special diet. I’m also in need of a dental cleaning. I have lived with many other animals, including dogs, cats and farm animals, and like them all! So I’m a pretty easy-going guy when it comes to getting along with others. I am afraid of loud noises (including thunder storms) and harsh voices. I flinch at quick movements toward my head and am a bit shy meeting strangers, but I do warm up quickly. I get anxious and might be destructive if left alone - I am crate trained and this will be a partial solution, but I would do best in a place where someone is at home much of the time. A gentle, soft spoken family who will snuggle with me and help me learn that most people are nice would be ideal. Visit me at HSCC, 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday, from 1 to 6 pm, or Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. 862-0135.

The intention of the group is to serve members into being the most extraordinary men that they can be. It is for men who are who are dying to penetrate every bit of the world with their courage, their presence, their unbridled passion and relentless love, and their deepest burning, bubbling, brilliant desire. The group will function as a means for men to support each other and serve the greater good. We will be working with spiritual practices, the mind and body, and taking on our lives with the utmost integrity, impeccability and openness. The group is not a new age group, nor is it a group dedicated to therapy. Info, email zach@ handelgroup.com or call 917-8871276.
