CHINESE FIRE DRILL I personally found “Hot and Soured” [May 30] to be a great piece of investigative reporting. I commend reporter Ken Picard for bringing to light the working and living conditions of these workers. The town should do more about this worker dormitory, and the state should do something about the wage-violation issues. I personally find it despicable that the owner gets away with violating town, state and probably federal laws to take advantage of his fellow countrymen. I hope that after reading this great story the average “Jane” or “Joe” thinks twice before filling up at any of these establishments. Furthermore, on the subject of cheap Chinese wages, people might also want to reconsider the bargains they think they are getting at most of the big-box retailers. Those products are as cheap as they are due to workers being taken advantage of and lax or nonexistent environmental regulations. We will eventually pay for those bargains in the form of pollution dispersing around the globe. Hopefully the plight of both local Chinese restaurant workers and Chinese factory workers will make people think about what they as consumers are supporting. I guess, on the bright side, the fire-code violation restaurant-worker boarding 2x3-rolfing020905-rosenthal house is conveniently located across the street from the Essex Junction
fire station . . . they wouldn’t even need to drive, just link a couple of hoses. I bet while fighting the fire, Ming’s would supply cheap Chinese food to the hungry fire fighters — maybe even a buffet! For a fee, of course. Gotta pay for that hotel. Garret Sullivan COLCHESTER
BRAND DISLOYALTY Ironic the Burlington Region Branding Project chose to hire an out-of-state consultant to help develop a slogan for the Queen City [“Local Business Groups Define the Burlington ‘Brand,’” May 23]. Hopefully the contract for the website they plan to build will be awarded to a firm closer to home. Craig Bailey

BOYS OF SUMMER? I am sure I’m not alone when I say I feel cheated. After weeks of American Apparel ads on the
back of section B, featuring pert, barely covered nipples, luxuriously maned sirens in skin-tight body stockings shooting smoldering come-hither glances, and the delightfully prurient young Asian woman clutching her cute camel toe whilst writhing on a bed under the caption “Summer’s Coming,” you finally give us redblooded American women a male model to ogle over. He’s a scruffy,
stubbly, dorky-looking man (with glasses!) clothed from the Adam’s apple down in loose clothing. The shirt he’s advertising is even pink — which we know is a color signifying homosexuality. Come on, doesn’t American Apparel shoot ads with cute rocker-guys? Strong cowboys in Stetson hats? Tall, dark and handsome men in tighty whities? Haven’t we been more letters >> 19a

BOOSTING BURLINGTON To the civic-minded shopkeepers who have generously taken it upon themselves to brand Burlington in order to suck in more tourists, but who are apparently having problems devising a sure-fire slogan, I submit the following: 1.

Two weeks ago, Pamela Polston reported on the Burlington Regional Branding Project’s campaign to coin a new, tourist-friendly slogan for the Queen City. We asked you to send us your slogan ideas, and we printed a bunch of them last week. Alas, some of you sent suggestions that didn’t arrive until after we’d already gone to print, so we thought we’d feature a few more of our favorites: Burlington: We rile up O’Reilly. Burlington: Come see us before we become our own country. Taylor Poro, South Burlington Burlington: 5000 trustfunders can’t be wrong. Burlington: Take back our potholes — please. Walker Evans, Burlington Burlington: Crunchy, Yet Sweet. Burlington: Progress with Dignity. Burlington: Lean, Green, and Oh So Clean. Kasey Viles, Winooski Burlingtron: City of the Future.

Whenever I have the time on return trips from Middlebury College or the Basin Harbor Club, I enjoy stopping to visit with the Ferrisburgh camel, Oscar, who lives at the Round Barn on Route 7. Weather permitting, he can be found grazing in the grass along with his barn-mates, which consist mainly of a large flock of sheep.
Kenny Garrett Concert Comments Have you ever attended a National Drag Race competition? The vehicles go from zero to 300+ mph in less than seven seconds, in a race that measures 1,320 feet. That’s the feeling I got with the first song of last night’s performance of the Kenny Garrett concert.
I respect his privacy, and when I visit with him I’m content to just hang out and watch him wander around the field and munch his cud. So, imagine my surprise and delight when, last Monday afternoon, Oscar turned his head and...
Excellent musicianship by all concerned. With a microphone attached to the bell of his horn, Kenny was a perpetual-motion machine on stage whether he was soloing or directing/suggesting things to the ensemble. Good song selections with an eye for different tempos. Beautiful rendition of the classic “Naima” by both Kenny and special guest Pharoah Sanders. The last song of the night showed that Kenny knows how to work a crowd.
Posted June 4 by Jernigan Pontiac
When Pharoah soloed, he remained steadfast behind his microphone. When he wasn’t playing, he would start dancing when the mood hit him. It was almost like a statement to the audience, “Yes, I’ll be 67 years old in the fall, but I can still shake my booty.” While taking a sip of water during one of Kenny’s solos, Pharoah began to blow across the top of his water bottle into the microphone, further demonstrating that he was still capable of improvising at a moment’s notice.
I’ve known of Casey for some time, originally as the guitarist for local metal heroes Rocketsled, then later as the quintessential record store guy at Pure Pop. It was there that I had my first real encounter with the man, the myth, the legend that is Casey Rea.
solid state
Former Seven Days Music Editor Casey Rea will be leaving Burlington in roughly one week — or as Casey might say, not fuckin’ soon enough.
About four years ago, I wandered into the dank music Mecca to all things hipper-than-thou, looking for a birthday present for my younger sister, Ariel. At the time, she was particularly enamored with a certain cheesy songwriter named Mason Jennings, who’d just released a new album which, for the life of me, I couldn’t find anywhere in the store. I’m typically not the type of person to ask a clerk for assistance unless it’s absolutely necessary, and what follows is a perfect example of why.
Posted June 3 by L.J. Palardy
“Stuck in Vermont” video blogger Eva Sollberger tags along for the National Kidney Foundation pub crawl in downtown Burlington.
I approached the counter and asked an attractive young girl if she knew where I might find the record in question. Puzzled, she turned to the man in black behind her and asked if they had any left in the store. Looking up from some sort of paperwork, a pained expression crossed his face. “Bleccchh,” was all he said before turning around and exiting the store through a door in the back.
Eva goes for a hair-raising ride in the press balloon at the Vermont Balloon & music Festival.
I ended up buying the album at Borders, and Casey, you were right. The album was totally bleccchh. Posted June 5 by Dan Bolles

VERMONT — In the spring of 2006, two-thirds of all college graduates across the country said they were moving back in with their parents after graduation. According to a survey conducted by CollegeGrad.com, the nation’s largest entry-level job search engine, the triple whammy of a competitive job market, student-loan debts and the rising cost of housing drove most new grads back to the nest. If today’s college-educated 22-year-olds are struggling with their transition to adulthood and financial independ-

stresses of adult life, from paying rent to finding a job to balancing a checkbook. “I’m very pleased,” says Mark Redmond, executive director of Spectrum Youth and Family Services in Burlington, who’s been a leading proponent of this change since he moved to Vermont in 2002. “These kids aren’t ready at 18 to be on their own. So we shouldn’t be shocked by how many of them end up in corrections or in the homeless system.” As Redmond points out, about one in four youths who access Spectrum’s services, such

ence, one can only imagine how much harder it is for youths in state custody who “age out” of Vermont’s foster care system at age 18. That transition is about to get a bit smoother in Vermont. This week, Governor Jim Douglas is expected to sign into law new legislation that will extend state foster care services from age 18 to 22. The new law brings Vermont into line with most New England states, which provide that social safety net at least until the age of 21. Only Rhode Island, which recently scaled back its coverage from 21 to 18 as a cost-saving measure, has a lower cutoff age than Vermont. Youth advocates, who have long decried Vermont’s system of cutting kids loose on their 18th birthday and/or upon graduation from high school, hailed the measure as a significant first step in overcoming the many hurdles foster kids face as they enter the real world.

Likewise, a study done by the Vermont Department of Corrections (DOC) several years ago found that between 1998 and 2002, approximately 36 percent of all prison inmates had an early history of being served by Social and Rehabilitative Services, the predecessor of DCF. Figures from the DOC show that 18-to21-year-olds are the fastestgrowing group among inmates. State figures indicate that kids who’ve been in state custody have disproportionately higher rates of substance abuse, premature pregnancy and mental health issues than the general population. Currently, about 150 of the state’s 1200 or so youths age out of the system each year, according to DCF Commissioner Steve Dale. A supporter of the new legislation, he estimates that about 60 of those kids will choose to continue in their cur-
rent foster families until their 22nd birthday, though the state is prepared to support more of them, if need be. The new legislation includes a $730,000 budget allocation from the general fund. As Dale points out, this policy change will pay for itself in the long run if it keeps even a handful of individuals out of the correctional system. Currently, the cost of in-state incarceration runs about $40,000 per inmate annually. The new law, which Douglas is expected to sign on June 6 at the Spectrum One Stop in Burlington, has a “re-entry window,” so that kids who leave state custody are free to return and access state services until they are 22. But Dale emphasizes that, as these youths become legal adults at 18, their responsibilities will become more adultlike as well. Those who remain in state custody will be expected to continue with their education or vocational training, get a job, and contribute financially to the foster care. As the commissioner puts it, “The intent here is not that we extend childhood. It’s really to try to normalize their experience.” Though youth advocates are thrilled with this latest policy change, they say it’s just the first step toward improving Vermont’s overall foster care system. As Redmond explains, many of Spectrum’s clients moved repeatedly from one foster home to another, with little stability in their schooling or home lives. “We see a ton of kids — a ton! — who get to us at age 16, 17 or 18 and have been in 12 placements,” he says. “It’s really sad. Can you imagine what that does to somebody?” Dale at DCF readily admits that Vermont isn’t meeting federal performance standards on foster care placements. The department is expecting a report “any day now” on its performance on foster care services. “Our system is focused on crisis, and if a child is going into crisis, has been abused or is having family problems, we intervene, and our number-one goal is making sure that child is safe,” Dale says. “However, our focus on immediate safety has superceded a focus on . . . what’s going to happen to this child when they’re 25?” It should be noted that the new legislation does little to address a similar problem of kids who age out of the state’s child mental health program at 18. Mental health advocates have long complained that the “bar” for accessing services is set much higher for adults than for juveniles. As Redmond puts it, hinting at his next campaign in the legislature, “How about those kids? They’re also hitting a cliff — and falling off it.” �

Official Reactions Mixed on Allegations of Minimum-Wage, Building-Code Violations
Casual Fine Dining (upstairs): 655-0000
BY KEN PICARD
ESSEX JUNCTION — Last week Seven Days reported on a group of Chinese restaurant workers who are living in an overcrowded and unsanitary boarding house in Essex Junction and claim to be working for belowlegal wages. Reactions to the story were mixed. While some officials took a “keen interest” in employees’ allegations of possible minimum-wage violations, others expressed uncertainty about what, if anything, they could do to address the workers’ housing predicament. The Vermont Department of Labor said it wants to speak to any current or former employees of six Chinese restaurants in Chittenden County who say they were underpaid for their work and/or were improperly compensated for the room and board provided by their employers, Sheun Lai Poon and Yun Poon. “We’re keenly interested in your article,” said Steve

restaurants under similar circumstances; one said he’s contacted the DOL. Official reactions to the workers’ housing situation in Essex Junction was more muted. Bob Patterson is the Williston regional manager of the Department of Public Safety’s Division of Fire Safety. When asked if there were plans to conduct a fire inspection of the boarding houses at 2 Park Terrace, Patterson replied, “No, I

Freihofner, associate counsel for the Vermont Department of Labor. “The front-page reference to ‘slave wages’ was especially attention-getting.” Freihofner was referring to the cover story titled “Hot and Soured: Slave wages and unsafe housing — exposing the unsavory side of cheap Chinese in Vermont” — in which some halfdozen restaurant workers, who speak little to no English, allege that they work only for tips and have a percentage of their daily earnings skimmed by management. Yun Poon has denied those allegations, and Seven Days could not independently verify their accuracy. Freihofner did not know whether minimum-wage law violations have taken place, nor could he confirm that the state has opened an investigation into the Poons’ six restaurants: Orchid Restaurant in South Burlington; East Orchid in Williston; Ming’s in Essex, Colchester and Burlington; and Fortune Cookie in the University Mall in South Burlington. The labor attorney did ask anyone interviewed for that story who believes he or she has been improperly paid to contact him, or else file a wage claim on the Vermont Department of Labor website. Seven Days does not disclose the names of confidential sources, but Freihofner’s request was conveyed to several of those individuals. Within hours of the story’s publication, other people contacted Seven Days claiming that they had worked at one of the six

If we had an inkling that there were smoke detectors that were not working properly or some other violations, particularly what we call ‘imminent hazard,’ we would certainly be in there in a very short time.” But, as last week’s article clearly indicated, the smoke detectors at 2 Park Terrace did not appear to be outfitted with working batteries; additionally, no fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide detectors or sprinklers were seen in the house during several visits over a three-month period. Seven Days did not enter a second employees’ boarding house at 9-11 Park Street. Patterson confirmed that both boarding houses qualify as “public buildings,” making them subject to more stringent life-safety codes and periodic fire inspections. Vermont building code also prohibits the use of padlocks and lock hasps on bedroom doors, which can prevent an escape in the event of a fire. Several bedrooms in 2 Park Terrace had such locks and hasps. “I am glad you called,” Patterson noted, after being informed of these conditions. “These are the kind of places we want to be into.” But Patterson also pointed out that his office can do nothing to address the issue of overcrowding. As several residents confirmed in last week’s story, as many as 25 individuals are or were living at 2 Park Street, some in small bedrooms with six bunks to a room. According to
6/1/07 11:42:26 AM
Patterson, housing six or more unrelated people under one roof is not a building-code violation, though it is a zoning violation. Jeff Arango is development director of the Village of Essex Junction. He said he’s been aware “for some time” that restaurant employees are living in two boarding houses, including some in a building zoned for commercial, not residential, use. However, he said the Village has been working with the property owner — Sheun Lai Poon’s Park Street Holding Company — to redevelop the site into a $4.5 million, 91-room LaQuinta Hotel. If that application were to be approved, Arango said, all the zoning violations would be resolved, since both boarding houses would be torn down. “That’s what’s troubling to me,” Arango continued. “At the same time you’re trying to work on this relatively bold [hotel] proposal, which could be a good thing for the village, you’re dealing with someone who has a horrible track record.” He emphasized that the owner’s “horrible track record” on building-code violations cannot simply scuttle the deal, though the Village may ask for certain assurances and guarantees from whoever ultimately manages the hotel. “You’re hitting on the difficult situation I’m in. We’ve wanted a hotel in downtown Essex Junction for a long time,” Arango added. “But that doesn’t mean we’re willing to accept anything.” �

MONTPELIER — Groundwater belongs to everyone, right? Think again. On May 23, reps from an asyet-unchartered corporation requested permission to extract groundwater from East Montpelier and build a pipeline to transport it to Montpelier. There, in an industrial park, they would bottle the water for export. Environmental advocates in Montpelier suggest the deal is being conducted in an underhanded manner. The owner of the prospective business refuses to provide further details. At the May 23 meeting, “company� president Daniel Antonovich, along with project manager and former Secretary of Agriculture Steve Kerr, requested preliminary approval for the project from Montpelier’s City Council. Officials temporarily denied the request, suggesting that more permits were needed before going forward.
If the withdrawal rates are what we’ve calculated them to be — half a million gallons per day — then that’s very concerning to us. JON GROVEMAN
There are 37 licensed water companies in Vermont. The name “Montpelier Spring Water Companyâ€? was reserved three times in 1995 and 1996. But the Secretary of State’s office confirms both that the company has never done business in the state and that no name requests are pending. When reached for comment in New Jersey, Antonovich said it was “too prematureâ€? to give any specifics about either his business or the Montpelier proposal. Kerr, who was on vacation in Nova Scotia, could not be reached for comment. Bottled water, the world’s fastest-growing beverage, is big business. Global consumption of the stuff more than doubled between 1997 and 2005. The U.S. consumes more bottled water than any other country. In 2005, Americans guzzled 7.5 billion gallons of it, for an industry profit of more than $10 billion. In states such as California, Michigan and Maine, citizen groups are standing up to major corporations such as the NestlĂŠ-owned Poland Spring Company to demand compensation and regulation for water-extraction schemes. If incorporated, Antonovich’s company would be considerably smaller than Poland Spring. Still, Vermont Natural Resources Council Water Program Director Jon Groveman believes not enough information is available to determine whether the project will be environmentally sound. Groveman, a seasoned water-rights advocate, speculates, “If the
withdrawal rates are what we’ve calculated them to be — half a million gallons per day — then that’s very concerning to us.â€? He adds that his organization is “actively seeking more information about the proposal.â€? Groveman says Vermont — at least compared with neighboring states — has relatively weak groundwater protection policies. The state has never conducted a comprehensive mapping project for groundwater. Last year, a legislative bill did establish an interim groundwater-removal permitting process. It also established a governor’s committee to study groundwater regulation. In 2007, Vermont earmarked more than $300,000 for a comprehensive groundwater-mapping project. Another bill, which would have enacted a “public trustâ€? to protect Vermont’s natural resources, floundered in committee. And, according to Groveman, Governor Douglas refused to appoint a water activist to sit on his committee — a sign, the advocate suggests, of the governor’s disinterest in the issue. Montpelier Director of Planning and Community Development Gwen Hallsmith attended the May 23 meeting. She reports that her colleagues and constituents have “mixed feelingsâ€? about Antonovich’s proposal. Hallsmith says she’s conscious of environmental concerns, but points out that the bottling operation would add about 120 new jobs to Montpelier’s economy. “I think that people are concerned about the privatization and commercialization of water, so that’s a worry,â€? she says. “But on the other hand . . . it’s a pipeline down to our industrial park bottling healthy, clean water. As an industrial activity that provides jobs? That’s pretty low impact, from the point of view of industry.â€? Before it can operate, the project will need to secure permits from both the state Agency of Natural Resources and the Montpelier Public Works Department. But Antonovich requested neither a public works nor an ANR “source waterâ€? permit before approaching the Montpelier City Council. Hallsmith says that if she had known Antonovich didn’t have the permits, she wouldn’t have referred him to the council in the first place. Why did Antonovich and Kerr bring their proposal to municipal officials without first getting the necessary approval? Hallsmith suggests they merely “misunderstoodâ€? the “magnitudeâ€? of the permitting process. But Matt Levin, a spokesman for Vermonters for a Clean Environment, cries foul. He suggests that Antonovich and Kerr — who has previously been at odds with grassroots Vermont environmental organizations — deliberately gave the impression at the meeting that they’d already obtained permits, in order to boost potentialinvestor confidence. Levin says he’s not sure how much bearing Montpelier Spring Water Company’s corporate charter has on the current proposal. What’s important, he says, is making sure laws are followed. “The permitting process for this kind of project is appropriately significant,â€? he stresses. “It seems that the people who are working on this project are trying to make it look simpler than it is.â€? ďż˝

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS
The Weather Gets Political
W
ho’d a thunk it? — that the weather, something we once thought we mortals had no control over, would become a hot-button political issue? How dare the resident “climate expert” at the privately owned Weather Channel suggest that the American Meteorological Society deny its “seal of approval” to any meteorologist who “can’t speak to the fundamental science of climate change.” Dr. Heidi Cullen suggests in a New York Times story this week, “If you turn on the local forecast, you wouldn’t necessarily know that global warming exists.” Not so on the Weather Channel, reports the Times: The network’s other programs have also directly engaged the elephant in the room — or, in this case, the polar bear on the melting ice cap: a recent anniversary roundup of “The 100 Biggest Weather Moments” listed global warming as No. 1. And the network is training its meteorologists so that they can discuss long-term trends as well as five-day forecasts. Unfortunately, a visit to the weather
You see, H.520, “The Vermont Energy Efficiency and Affordability Act,” would extend our state’s nationally acclaimed, extant energy-efficiency utility to all heating fuels, not just electric. The battle between our Republican governor and Democrat-controlled legislature is over how we pay for it.

Bernie Health Care — A “disgrace” is what Independent U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont calls it — and has been since yours truly first heard those Brooklyn pipes many years ago. “It” is the fact that the United States “is the only country in the industrialized world that does not provide health care to all of our kids.” But Vermont “should be very proud,” he added, that we have been “one of the leaders in the nation in saying that virtually all of our kids are entitled to health care as a right. And we do it, not only because it is the right thing
to do, but because it’s the smart thing to do. The fact is, noted Ol’ Bernardo the other day, not diagnosing a child’s illness early “ends up costing you more money down the line, not to mention human suffering.” Vermont, he said, “has done the right thing, and I want to take what Vermont has done and show the whole country that it can be cost effective. It’s the right thing to do and I want to see what Vermont has done spread all over this nation.” Almost sounds like a presidential candidate, eh? We could certainly do a whole lot worse. Imagine, a president committed to delivering on universal health care? In fact, Sanders has a bill in the U.S. Senate hopper this week that recognizes “a right of health care for all America’s children.” The next step is to recognize health care as a right for all Americans — and it is in the works, indicated the Senate’s only Independent. “We are working on additional legislation to do that,” he said. “It’s not ready to be out quite yet.” The legislation in the U.S. Senate “will give states the option of going forward with universal health care. If that legislation is passed, my hope is that Vermont will choose to go with strong federal assistance in terms of waivers and additional financial assistance into a single-payer program. You’re going to see a lot of that stuff coming down the pike,” predicted Vermont’s freshman senator. Cool. “We should not be proud,” said the University of Chicago graduate, “that we are providing hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks to people who don’t need it, and we have nine and a half million children in this country who have no health insurance at all. That is not, in my mind, what America is supposed to be. It is not cost-effective. It is not humane. It is not part of what some of us consider to be real family values.” OK. Maybe vice-presidential candidate? Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders? Ol’ Bernardo would sure keep the Barack Obama fans content, wouldn’t he? But we couldn’t help but wonder if he was familiar with a gentleman by the name of Jim Douglas? You know, the threeterm Republican governor of Vermont, who at the moment faces nary a single challenger to his declared intention to claim a fourth term? You know — the Jim Douglas who champions the insurance industry and would let all the cherry pickers in if the legislature would allow it. The Jim Douglas who is not
now, and never has been, a fan of single-payer health care? “Well, Jim Douglas may not be a big fan of it,” replied Sen. Sanders, “but a lot of people in the Vermont legislature are big fans of it.” And, Sanders hinted, money will talk on this one. “If our legislation is able to provide additional financial resources as well as the necessary waivers to make it possible to guarantee health care to all of our people through a singlepayer system,” said Ol’ Bernardo, “Jim Douglas may be quite interested in going forward with us on that.” Yes, he certainly might. Stay tuned. Fuck the FCC — Hey, cheer up. Good news Tuesday for freedom of speech: A decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit essentially tells the holier-than-thou, antifree-speech Federal Communications Commission “to go fuck itself ” for its outrageous censorship in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. The FCC has held in recent years “that any use of any variant of ‘the F-Word’ inherently has sexual connotation and therefore falls within the scope of the indecency definition. The FCC has also held that “the ‘F-Word’ is one of the most vulgar, graphic, and explicit descriptions of sexual activity.” Fucking-A. Really? But the federal appeals court panel, which included a fucking Vermonter, noted that in recent times “even the top leaders of our government have used variants of these expletives in a manner that no reasonable person would believe referenced “sexual or excretory organs or activities.” The court referred specifically to President George W. Bush’s remark to British Prime Minister Tony Blair that the United Nations needed to “get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit,” and Vice President Dick Cheney’s widely reported “Go fuck yourself ” comment to Senator Patrick Leahy on the floor of the U.S. Senate. Remember that? It was right after the Senate’s group photo was taken in June 2004. Earlier in the week, Leahy had raised questions on that same Senate floor about war profiteering in Iraq by Halliburton. Cheney used to be president of Halliburton. Small world, eh? P.S. The Vermonter on the panel was Peter Hall, former U.S. Attorney for Vermont who also worked many years in private practice here. Hall ruled with the 2-1 majority.

Reps from neighboring states, said O’Brien, “are saying they’re jealous of us because of the position we’re in with Hydro-Québec and Vermont Yankee. That we’ve got stable prices when they’re seeing 50 percent rate increases, and we’ve got a clean [carbon] footprint. My issue is, why do we want to put that kind of positive thing at risk?” O’Brien calls H.520 as passed “not very well thought out.” The Douglas administration’s energy man and protector of the Vermont rate payer also argues that H.520 breaks pre-existing agreements with Entergy Vermont Yankee, and “It upsets the environment with other employers: IBM, GE, Ethan Allen. They’re all scared of this,” says Commissioner O’Brien. And, yes, we did ask him if anyone’s suggested he sounds like a paid spokesman for Entergy, instead of the Vermont rate payer. “I resent that,” replied the commish clearly and firmly, “but it’s a characterization that’s got to be dealt with. We’re not here to be spokespersons for Entergy,” he told “Inside Track.” “Like the governor said a couple weeks ago, he’s a lobbyist for the rate payer, the taxpayer. We think that consumers are going to be very much affected by what’s being proposed here.” But what if Symington and the Democrats muster up the magic two-thirds and override the Douglas veto? “If this gets overridden, the work will continue. We’re going to look for ways to reduce the carbon footprint of the state,” replied O’Brien, “I just don’t think taking this adversarial move towards a major business in Vermont and potentially upsetting our power-supply situation is the way to go.” Both sides are getting their backs up over this one. “People who previously opposed the bill are now supporting it,” said Chairman Dostis confidently. “When they learn the facts,” he said, “they see it’s a good bill.” The numbers will certainly tell, won’t they?

Ivy Pagliari WALDEN PEASE IN THE VALLEY The sensitive and far-sighted development proposed for the Pease Mountain area behind Charlotte Central School [“Environmental Advocates Square Off in Charlotte Development Debate, May 9] is exactly the sort of pragmatic yet visionary approach needed for the inevitable growth which will occur in Charlotte and other still semirural areas of Chittenden County, whether we like it or not. The school is a logical area for clustering new homes, and the importance of preserving remaining farmland makes development of wooded hillsides preferable to consuming open land. Provision is made to preserve habitat and limit the effect of required utilities, with the additional benefit of small lots, which consume minimal space. Few developments offer this degree of foresight and environmental sensitivity, and with its relatively small size and minimal impact, along with the established track record of the principals, it deserves serious consideration by the town and its residents. Roger Anderson ENDWELL, NY
Roger Anderson is a former resident of Charlotte. GO, ZOE, GO A couple of weeks ago, while walking Church Street as I approached Cherry Street, a sweet sound came upon my ears. To the left of Ben & Jerry’s was a young woman playing clarinet: Zoe Christiansen [“Busker Dos and Don’ts,â€? May 16]. She is the best musician playing around the Marketplace! A few weeks later, while having coffee, I heard a klezmer trio which included Zoe. She was far and away their strongest player, melding klezmer and jazz runs on clarinet. I ran into her at Muddy Waters and asked about her training: her father, a music teacher; she played in the Vermont Youth Orchestra, graduating high school at 16 — no small feat. Obviously, precocious and very talented! Does the Marketplace need more talented people like Zoe? Yes, definitely. The kangaroo court called the Marketplace Commission’s arbitrary censoring of Zoe’s clothing is small-minded. Also, the need for potential Marketplace musicians to make eye contact to “connectâ€? seems a bit like EST. Using these measures as a yardstick, the following greats would be excluded: • Miles Davis (wore sunglasses and turned his back to the audience) • Tina Turner (dress too tight and short) • Elvis (hips too active, too loud) Now, to Mr. Kettle Corn’s objections to Zoe Christiansen

TRADE IMBALANCE Every so often, advocates on one side of an issue attempt to selectively use statistics to prove their point, and in doing so invalidate their entire position and movement. Such is the case with a recent article on free trade [“Labor Department Links Free Trade to Vermont Job Losses,� May 30]. Governor Jim Douglas has made clear that he sees benefits to Vermont being part of the global economy, actively participating in the free and fair exchange of goods and services, including environmental technology and services. In this spirit he plans to travel to China next month on a trade delegation. So perhaps it should not be surprising that partisan, free-trade opponents like union leader Dan Brush, Democratic Senator Ginny Lyons and Democratic/Progressive consultant Doug Hoffer would selectively use statistics presented to the Vermont Commission on International Trade and State Sovereignty in an attack on free trade. Their political motivation is most obvious in Sen. Lyons’ call for legislators to have “an equal say to the governor in deciding whether the state should enter into free-trade agreements.� In fact, lawmakers already have the same authority as the governor in these decisions: none. That’s because free-trade agreements are entered into by the U.S. government, and ratified by Congress. The information was presented by the Vermont Department of Labor to the Vermont Commission on International Trade and State Sovereignty at their scheduled meeting two weeks ago. Mr. Brush’s outrageous suggestion that this was withheld until after adjournment to avoid political fallout is yet another example of the woefully uninformed and partisan nature of these attacks. The statistics included a reference to 1700 jobs certified by the U.S. Department of Labor as being “adversely affected� since 2003 by trade with countries with which the U.S. has trade agreements. The Trade Act Adjustment program was instituted to provide additional assistance and training to workers impacted by foreign trade, not measure the net impact of such trade. As such, it is one side of the ledger. This program and these numbers say nothing about other situations and circumstances where Vermont jobs were created or sustained by foreign trade. The U.S. Business Roundtable, an association of leading U.S. companies with $4.5 trillion in annual revenues and more than
10 million employees, recently released a report (http://trade. businessroundtable.org./trade_ americanjobs.pdf ) on the benefits of trade to state employment in which it estimated that Vermont has a net gain of nearly 78,000 jobs as the result of foreign trade. That’s right, even with 1700 jobs “lost� to free trade, Vermont
is still a massive beneficiary of our

While employment in these sectors is down, wages paid were growing 4/16/07 12:12:23 PM for the most part and were well 2x4-Scribbles041807.indd 1 above state averages. The Commission was explicitly informed that there was no way to assign the observed job losses directly to the impact of trade. The affected industries were mostly involved in manufacturing, and these jobs are declining in Vermont — as they are in the U.S. — for many reasons, including interregional competition, productivity, and yes, trade. • The area’s only solo It is quite possible and indeed midwifery practice even probable that trade has • Lisa sees you for your prenatal had a net moderating impact on employment in industries that care and delivers your baby would otherwise be losing jobs at • Home visits for post partum a higher rate. and lactation issues Governor Douglas will • Certified Nurse Midwife continue to be a strong advocate and Lactation Consultant for fair, free trade for Vermont’s • Obstetrical, gynecological farmers, manufacturers, artisans and preventive care and service providers, particularly the environmental products and • Over 20 years experience in Call for an services sectors. maternal child health appointment today!

CORRECTION There were several errors in our May 23 cover story about the Agency of Natural Resources, “How Green Is Our Valley.� First, the “Lost Opportunities� report was authored solely by the Conservation Law Foundation; it was not co-authored with the Vermont Natural Resources Council. Also, we erroneously suggested that Jay Peak was late on its environmental-violation payments. Finally, there were inaccuracies in our description of Annette Smith, of Vermonters for a Clean Environment. Smith’s car is a Honda, not a Toyota.

Web Journal Wishtank Aims at Globe from Northeast Kingdom BY MARGOT HARRISON
In the age of the Internet, what does it mean for a publication to be “local”? Sometimes it’s hard to say. On May 25, Garrett Heaney sent a message to his email list announcing a new online journal called Wishtank: “I have been working on a project with my tribe from the Northeast Kingdom for some time,” he wrote. The staff of Wishtank, subtitled Journal of Intellectual Freedom, is indeed an NEK “tribe” of sorts. In a phone interview, Founding Editor Heaney explains that this crew of twentysomethings met at St. Johnsbury Academy, from which they graduated in the late ’90s. Nowadays, though, only Wishtank Director of Research Justin Boland still lives in the area. Creative Director Charles Choiniere runs a web-design business in Burlington, “Culture-Wise author” Astrid Lium is exploring Europe, illustrator Phil Wassell resides in Colorado, and Heaney himself works at a tea shop in St. Petersburg, Florida. Wishtank’s content ranges far and wide, too. Divided into two sections, recurring columns called “The Commons” and changing features in “The Well,” it covers such topics as the globesailing Peace Boat, British “street artist” Banksy, and Japanese inventor Yoshiro Nakamatsu. Brandon writer Ron Miller contributes a chapter from one of his books on holistic education, and Dan Briggs, a philosophy major at Bennington, writes about the concept of the gift. The journal’s
only “local” item is an interview with lyricist Thirtyseven of the NEK band Wombaticus Rex. That’s deliberate, according to Heaney. “A lot of the philosophy behind Wishtank is breaking down borders,” he says. “We feel they’re kind of imaginary lines.” Though much of the journal has what might be called a progressive slant, Heaney rejects those divisions, too. “Politics right now is too confining for the type of literature we’re producing,” he says. “We can’t really think in terms of Democratic or Republican at this point. American politics is divisive, supportive of hegemony. We’d really like to see the world evolve to a point where everyone’s helping each other.” All this may sound a bit piein-the-sky. But Wishtank, which Heaney hopes to put out every couple of months, isn’t a flimsy or whimsical production. Choiniere’s web design for the journal is strong and accessible, Wassell’s accomplished, sci-fi-
inspired illustrations help link the diverse content, and the lengthy articles are polished by Heaney, who used to edit professionally for a brewing magazine. Though Heaney says Wishtank is “not something we’re creating for Vermont or the United States,” the journal’s home page describes the Northeast Kingdom as “the common thread that has brought us together.” Heaney ascribes the global orientation of his “tribe” in part to the years at St. Johnsbury Academy, where they met students from all over the world. “That’s where we got a lot of our like-mindedness, growing up.” That “like-mindedness” is informed by the rugged, liveand-let-live ethos of the NEK, too. “I feel a lot of publications on the web and in print want to change people’s minds, and use language that imposes their own beliefs on people,” Heaney says. “We respect our readership enough to understand that people need the freedom to develop their own outlook on life.” �
FILM
A Burlington Filmmaker Documents the Art of Dying BY CATHY RESMER

5/24/07 2:13:39 PM
Talking about death can be difficult. We may enjoy watching mobsters get whacked on “The Sopranos,” but contemplating the end of our own lives — or those of our loved ones — is scary. Unfortunately, our reluctance to discuss end-of-life issues can make dying an isolating and even more painful experience for patients and their families. So how do you prompt people to confront their fears of aging and death? In her new documentary, Holding Our Own: Embracing the End of Life, Burlington filmmaker Camilla Rockwell, 56, uses art and music to ease audiences into these conversations. Rockwell’s hour-long film, which debuted on DVD in April, will play twice next week at Champlain College. It profiles Williamsville fabric artist Deirdre Scherer, who stitches intimate portraits of people nearing death, and chronicles the work of the Brattleboro-based hospice chorus Hallowell. This is not feel-good, date-movie stuff — if you go, bring tissues. Scherer’s art makes some peo-
ple squirm, and Rockwell bravely delves into that discomfort. The film begins with footage of an art opening in New York City, where gallery-goers stare warily at the wrinkled, slack-jawed faces of the elderly. The subjects are often surrounded by medical instruments, or by grieving friends and family. Rockwell focuses right in on viewers’ reactions to the art. A security guard tells the camera, “I hate death. I hate it. We don’t want to experience it and we don’t want to face facts, but it’s reality.” Another man says that one image “really conveys a depressing feeling.” Despite those qualms, Rockwell manages to make Holding Our Own an empowering film about “reclaiming” the end of life. She goes behind the scenes with Scherer, showing how the artist interacts with the individuals and families she portrays and letting her describe the beauty she finds in elderly faces. Rockwell also follows Hallowell as the group performs for hospice patients. During one concert, she zooms in on a mem-
ber who is crouching next to a woman’s wheelchair and singing to her. The elderly woman gently reaches over and pats the singer’s hand mid-song, as if to thank her. It’s an emotional moment, and the singer falters slightly. But Hallowell founder Kathy Leo explains that their singing isn’t steeped in sadness. “Often,” she says, “we leave feeling really joyful . . . which is one of the things I’ve learned more and more about this work, that there is a place for celebration and joy in our grief work.” Rockwell, a hospice volunteer who sings with Burlington’s Noyana hospice chorus, first became interested in making the film after someone suggested she document Scherer’s art. The filmmaker, who has known Leo for years, quickly saw a connection between the artist’s and the chorus’ approaches to death. Rockwell’s film cost $100,000 to make and was financed mainly through grants — including $25,000 from Paul Newman. “He gives out money,” she declares. “All that salad-dressing stuff is true.”

Move Over, Rock-a-Bye Baby: Moms Take the Stage BY PAMELA POLSTON
Rockwell is encouraged by the response from the medical community: Holding Our Own has already been shown to oncology nurses at Stanford Medical Center and to hospice workers in Seattle. The film has also entered the world of indie film fests, such as this spring’s Green Mountain Film Festival in Montpelier. The Hopkins Center at Dartmouth College will show it in August, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston is interested in a fall screening. Recognition from cinĂŠastes is welcome, but Rockwell says she’s been most pleased to hear that people who watch Holding Our Own are sharing it with their friends and family. Some say it gives them a way to talk about death and dying. “That was my intention with the film,â€? she says, “to get people to talk about this subject. And not to be afraid.â€? Holding Our Own will be shown on Tuesday, June 12, and Friday, June 15, at the Alumni Auditorium at Champlain College, Burlington, 7 p.m. $12. The screenings benefit the Visiting Nurse Association’s Noyana Singers. Info, 864-6263.

Many a musical woman who’s raised kids lets go reluctantly, of her rock-star fantasies. After dealing with poopy diapers, it’s hard to feel glamorous enough for the bright lights. But last Sunday night at Higher Ground, Burlington’s Advance Music resurrected those dreams for 25 contestants, aged twenties through fifties, in the “Moms Who Rock� competition. While the skill levels varied, the women’s spirits were uniformly high, and the audience — which included a lot of kids — roared its support. It was an allages crowd unlike any other. Advance Music store owner and Quadra guitarist Mike Trombley led the backing band, along with manager and Mr. French guitarist Jeff Wheel. The band prepared a repertoire of 22 songs, primarily from the ’80s, from which the women could choose; 17 were selected, so there was some repetition on stage. Clear Channel rep Nancy Reno was the emcee. Oh, and — full disclosure — I was one of three judges. The other two were chanteuse Jennie Johnson of the Jazz Junkateers; and Tracie Cassarino, a singer herself, as well as wife and mother to musicians — Paul and Nick, respectively. Trombley explained that the concept of “Moms Who Rock� emerged from a discussion with a female customer who “was lamenting the fact that she was having a tough time finding people to sing and play music with, given her busy family schedule.� He decided to give her and other likeminded moms an opportunity. Partnerships with the radio station, the club and the event’s nonprofit beneficiary, the Women’s Rape Crisis Center, sealed the deal. On top of the 25 contestants, 20 “alternates� were waiting in the wings, Trombley reveals. Four

The women’s spirits were uniformly high, and the audience — which included a lot of kids — roared its support. women bailed at the last minute — apparently nearly dying of prestage fright — so “we tapped into that list,� he says. This year’s rock royalty? “All the women were winners,� Trombley says democratically. (All went home with gift bags, at least.) But he agreed that the three women with the highest scores — on vocal presentation, stage presence and audience response — could declare victory. Two of them were sisters blessed with magnificent pipes: Bonnie Drake and Melody
Tomczyk of South Burlington, who belted out “Hit Me With Your Best Shotâ€? (Pat Benatar) and “Walking on Sunshineâ€? (Katrina and the Waves), respectively. The other was Mona Piette of Irasburg, who also nailed the Benatar classic. Advance has hit on an instantly popular event with a built-in audience, sure to become annual. And music lovers, take note: The show doesn’t just appeal to contestants’ family and friends. Any fan of “American Idolâ€? could tell you why. ďż˝

Here’s the hitch: They don’t want videos from your home, exactly. They want you to go outside, fishing, hiking, biking, or whatever, and find footage — no more than two minutes’ worth — that will “create a ‘buzz’ around this year’s Vermont Days Celebration on June 9-10, and . . . generate ideas and raw material to inform and promote future Vermont Days Celebrations.â€? Hmm, seems like a sly way to get Vermont a lot of free online coverage. In fact, entrants must post their video — or two or three — on YouTube.com or G o o g lev i de o . c o m and email the link to send the link to the VAC by midnight on July 14.

Curses, Foiled Again Investigators in California’s Merced County identified Marcus Schulze, 30, and Tasha Silva, 30, as the burglars that took $10,000 worth of items from the home of a deputy sheriff and then stole his pickup truck to haul it all away. After making their getaway, the couple pulled over to have sex in the truck. A suspicious newspaper carrier spotted the unfamiliar truck shortly before 5 a.m. and alerted authorities. The suspects were unable to drive off, according to sheriff’s Deputy Paul Barile, because “they left the truck idling while they were having sex, and then the truck ran out of gas.” • Australian authorities reported that a

He did but was convicted March 7. Superior Court Judge James Citta sentenced LaSane to life in prison, ordering that he serve at least 60 years behind bars before becoming eligible for parole.

gunman and his female accomplice confronted a worker outside a restaurant in Olinda and demanded a black bag the worker was carrying, believing it held the day’s receipts. Restaurant manager Horst Lantzsch said the robbers then asked for the worker’s car keys, but as the worker was handing them over, the man’s shotgun discharged, wounding his accomplice in the stomach. “She dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes,” Lantzsch said, adding that he and the worker ran back into the restaurant and locked the door while the gunman dragged the woman to the road, where an accomplice picked them up. The injured woman drove herself to a Melbourne hospital, and police arrested a 37-year-old male suspect. The black bag taken in the robbery contained leftover rolls, which the worker planned to feed his chickens.

Fire Chief Dennis L. Rubin testified that at least 25 percent of the city’s 9,000 fire hydrants may be broken. Ten percent don’t work at all, Rubin told the city council’s public safety and judiciary committee, and another 15 percent require immediate repairs. In the area around the U.S. Capitol, 15 percent of the hydrants are out of order, and 18 percent urgently need repairs.

Health Canada pays $328.75 per kilo for bulk medical marijuana from Prairie Plant Systems Inc., which grows it in an abandoned mine shaft in Flin Flon, Manitoba. Health Canada sells the medical marijuana to authorized users for $150, plus general sales tax, per 30-gram bag.

the straight dope
by CECIL ADAMS
all worthwhile human knowledge

Dear Cecil, A few years ago a book said vaccines contained mercury and this caused many children to be autistic. But a recent editorial said that mercury is no longer used in vaccines, and besides it was safe all along anyway. But if it was safe all along, why’d they take it out? Why’d they put it in in the first place? Darren Provine, via email I recently saw Robert Kennedy Jr. speaking about the link between autism and vaccines. What’s the straight dope here? Bart Zimmer, via email While expounding the other day on the lost antiseptic mercurochrome, I mentioned that vaccines once contained an antibacterial and antifungal agent called thimerosal. Keeping vaccines safe is a good thing — nobody wants a repeat of the 1928 Australian case where a dozen kids died from staph-infected diphtheria vaccine drawn from a multidose vial. Unfortunately thimerosal, like mercurochrome, has the drawback of containing mercury, a toxin known to cause neurological disorders. Children are especially vulnerable. In 1999 the American Academy of Pediatrics and the U.S. Public Health Service determined that standard childhood vaccinations could lead to a dangerous accumulation of mercury. They called for thimerosal’s elimination from vaccines, and within a few years it was mostly gone. Thimerosal hasn’t totally disappeared. It continues to show up in some contact lens solutions, and as of last fall was still being used in certain vaccines for tetanus, meningitis, flu and so on — often ones used in multidose applications where contamination presumably remains a concern. But according to the FDA, apart from the occasional flu shot, no vaccine routinely recommended for U.S. kids now contains more than a trace amount of the stuff. Controversy over thimerosal persists, though. One concern is a suspected link, often circulated on parenting and fringe-science websites, between vaccines containing the compound and autism in children. Autism diagnosis has become more common lately and nobody knows why — could just be improved diagnostic methods and such. Most major studies at any rate have failed to show a connection between autism and thimerosal. A 2000 vaccine safety study initially showed an association, but after errors in the analysis were corrected the link vanished. In 2002 a Danish study of more than 500,000 children over age seven found no link between measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccinations and autism. A 2003 follow-up study focusing on thimerosalcontaining vaccines again showed no link, and also showed autism rates increasing despite removal of thimerosal from vaccines. A British study of 5763 children in 2004 showed only a statistically insignificant link between MMR vaccine and autism; a study of 27,749 children in Montreal found no MMR link to autism or related problems. The World Health Organization reviewed four major studies and found no link between thimerosal from immunizations and neurological disorders in children. So what’s Bobby Jr. talking about? Most people probably connect him with thimerosal thanks to his 2005 report for Rolling Stone and salon.com entitled “Deadly Immunity,” wherein he tells a dark tale of secret conferences, whitewashed data, and ties to prominent Republicans. A

focus of his article is a June 2000 conference discussing the thimerosal research of Tom Verstraeten of the Centers for Disease Control. Kennedy claims that though Verstraeten later tweaked his study till the link went away, at the gathering he pretty much blamed thimerosal “for a dramatic increase in autism and a host of other neurological disorders among children” — damning words if that’s anything like what the man said. From what I can tell, though, it’s not. According to the meeting transcript, Verstraeten actually said, “[W]e don’t see much of a trend except for a slight, but not significant, increase for the highest exposure. The overall test for trend is statistically not significant.” One never knows who might have gotten to whom. But I read the entire transcript plus the underlying findings and agree with the researchers in attendance that there was “no evidence of causality” for autism. Some data pointed to a link with other neurological disorders; the researchers recommended further investigation. So far, though, evidence for a connection between thimerosal and neurological problems is unpersuasive. A 2001 California study appeared to show a clear link between cumulative thimerosal exposure and autism diagnosis, but a similar comparison using the Danish study data found the opposite. A 2006 study by David Geier and Mark Geier found an association between self-reported adverse effects and timing of thimerosal-containing injections, but didn’t correct for environmental, genetic, social, or other factors. WHO evaluated two U.S. studies alleging a decrease in neurological disorders after the switch to thimerosal-free vaccine but wasn’t convinced. Thimerosal/autism research is complicated by the difficulty of diagnosing autism, especially in very young children; varying amounts of thimerosal used in different countries; and failure to correct for the above-mentioned confounding factors. Since thimerosal appears to be going the way of the mercury fever thermometer, the question may soon be moot — except, of course, to aficionados of the class-action lawsuit. CECIL ADAMS

Ride of Passage For Vermont’s Little Bellas, mountain biking is a girl thing
t the Catamount Outdoor Family Center one recent Sunday afternoon, a group of girls and women sit on a patch of jade-green grass and play a get-toknow-you game: “How many people have a pet?” and “Who likes potato STORY chips?” are among the questions being SARAH lobbed around the circle. Then someTUFF one says, “OK, name your favorite singletrack.” IMAGE Suddenly, the conversation shifts JORDAN SILVERMAN from humdrum into overdrive with a lively debate on the best mountain-biking trails in Vermont. Helmet-clad heads bob in agreement. Around the perimeter of the Williston gathering, silver Konas, an orange Santa Cruz and blue Cannondales lie on their sides like patient dogs waiting for their owners to come and play. A picnic table holds a box of Malt Nut Power Bars, fuel for the ride ahead. This is a glimpse of Little Bellas, a brand-new mountain-biking program for local girls aged 8-12 that could go nationwide after its pilot season this summer at Catamount. It aims to boost confidence and foster female camaraderie by partnering pre-adolescent riders with adult mentors. And thanks to its cofounders — Jericho sisters and mountain-biking mavens Lea and Sabra Davison — Little Bellas is already an extraordinary fellowship of female riders. “It’s like being a young tennis player,” says mentor Jane LeMasurier, “and getting to play pick-up every Sunday with Venus and Serena Williams.” The idea of Little Bellas began to bloom last fall, when the Davison sisters were having lunch at Martone’s in Essex Junction with Angela Irvine. As coordinator of the Bellaship, a spin-off of the Chittenden County mountainbiking community Fellowship of the Wheel (FOTW), Irvine knew all about the sport’s gap for girls. “There was a group of women who all had daughters, and the daughters didn’t really want to
A
ride with their moms,” says Irvine. “We thought, ‘We really need to foster these girls’ riding, but what’s the best way?’” Lea and Sabra Davison, meanwhile, were looking for ways to share their mania for mountain biking. Originally alpine ski racers and runners, they began competing at Catamount in 2000 and quickly climbed through the eastern, and then national, ranks while racking up biking sponsorships. When the Davisons met with Irvine, ideas began to percolate. “We wanted to create a team atmosphere for girls,” says Lea, who graduated from Middlebury in 2005. “Mountain biking teaches girls how to take risks in all arenas. It just provides them a place to be a girl on a bike.” “Which can be really conflicting sometimes,” Sabra interjects — the enthusiastic sisters have a habit of finishing each other’s sentences. Lea launched Little Bellas last fall as a branch of the FOTW, which is a chapter of the nonprofit Vermont Mountain Biking Association. Irvine provided direction for the fledgling program, along with FOTW head Hans Jenny, who had mentored the Davison sisters as young riders. Sabra, who graduated from Middlebury last month, formalized the paperwork as a class project. The duo turned to their main sponsor, Trek, to help support the program and offset the tuition cost of $100. Selecting Catamount, where Lea and Sabra learned to race, was a no-brainer, they say. For the debut season of Little Bellas, which officially launched last Sunday, June 3, there are a dozen mentors, most of them hand-picked by Lea from among old ski buddies and friends of friends. “Mountain biking has been about many, many things for me: fitness, community building, a way to experience the wilderness, empowerment and, most of all, self-development and personal transformation,” says mentor Jennie Date, 34.
“I felt drawn to the program,” says Aliza Cohen, a 24-year-old Cornell graduate who grew up mountain biking in Golden Gate Park and the Marin Headlands of San Francisco. “The feeling of standing at the top of a tricky downhill section or technical uphill climb, forcing those doubts out of your mind and arriving triumphant at the bottom or top, is one that few sports can match.” Cohen and the other “big” Bellas received mentoring training through the Burlington-based nonprofit Mobius to help expand the program’s focus beyond the weekly rides at Catamount. “It’s not just about mountain biking,” says Sabra. “We want to foster a healthy, active, constructive lifestyle — that’s first and foremost.” The mentors say they can already see the positive influence of the program. “Kids between 8 and 12 are just starting to test their limits, in all aspects of their lives, physically and mentally,” says LeMasurier, a 24-year-old from Stowe who also teaches English and coaches ski racing at Mount Mansfield Winter Academy. “Mountain biking is both a physical and mental sport, so every little challenge, every skill that’s learned, affects them significantly — I’m amazed at their willingness to test themselves.” While the Davison sisters didn’t start riding seriously until they were in their late teens — past the age of the current Little Bellas — they say they would have been drawn to such a girl-power program. “We’ve definitely seen how mountain biking is male-dominated,” says Sabra. “Our teams have been all guys and us; maintenance, managers, massage therapists — all men.” Lea jumps in. “Girls approach things differently,” she says. “Guys can sometimes be a little bit abrasive: ‘Just go, go do this ledge!’ But it’s a slow build in confidence: It’s not just ‘Go huck your-
self off that four-foot drop.’” So while each of the Little Bellas rides will build skills, such as handling narrow singletrack or climbing over rocks, the sessions also focus on fun. The season’s culminating events, held July 21 and August 4, are not competitions but celebrations. The first is a “Lemonade Social” at the Mount Snow National Off-Road Bicycle Association Championship, during which Little Bellas will invite pro riders to an on-site party. “I’m really excited for the Lemonade Social,” says Little Bella Ellie Miner, a 12-year-old from Burlington. The second big event will be the Ride Across Vermont, in which mentors and Little Bellas will pair up to ride legs of a relay, showing off skills they’ve learned over the summer. Mentors may find themselves reflecting on some of the lessons they’ve been taught by the Little Bellas, too. “It’s super-fun to work with these younger girls,” says Date. “They remind me that playfulness is an essential element to a happy life.” The Davison sisters hope to see Little Bellas — which resembles the wildly popular Girls on the Run program — sprout in other parts of the country next season. Their vision comes at a time when mountain biking is increasingly showing its feminine side, with women-specific bikes, saddles, helmets and more. As Lea and Sabra, decked out in matching red-and-white Trek jerseys, prepare to meet the Little Bellas and their mentors on Sunday afternoon, they shake their heads in wonder at how far their idea has come since that lunchtime discussion. “We were like, ‘All right, we want to empower some girls!’” recalls Lea. “‘Let’s get out there and do something!’” m Got a comment on this story or ideas for another one?

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!�

slurps a McDonald’s soda in the corner while my two guides show me around the auto, Vanna White-style. Many of today’s cars come pre-outfitted with expensive sound systems. That means less custom work for specialty shops like Great Northern. But no auto maker could come close to Carton’s Acura. It’s fantasy material. He bought it for $7500 in 2005 and has since added about $12,000 worth of accessories, half of them entertainment-related. When he opens the back trunk, a 10-and-a-half-inch television screen pops down as testament to its owner’s outlandish pursuit of mobile delight. Oliver, I learn, drives a custom ride of his own — a 1988 Honda CRX DX with a JDM SIR B16 A1 motor, shaved body moldings and DC Cat Back Exhaust. In other words, a matching illustration of aerodynamic egomania. Moreover, both men own “budget buggies” — commuter cars they use for slumming around town during inclement weather, or for engaging in such pedestrian activities as grocery shopping or going to the mall. “How do girls react to it?” I ask. Carton and Oliver smile at each other. “Oh, yeah — chicks dig the car,” Carton asserts. “Chicks love the car,” Oliver adds. The Speed Demon slurps approvingly. As we stand around ogling Carton’s car, he and Oliver begin listing all its specs in tandem, as if for the hundredth time, with a practiced domestic familiarity. Two Boston pro 6.5 speakers, one says. Kicker L7 12-inch subwoofer, adds the other. Monster cables. Upgraded deep-cycle battery. Strobes. Playstation. “It’s untouchable,” Carton concludes. “It’s got a lot of shit,” Oliver echoes. For all their macho inclinations, I think, these ‘tough guys’ finish each other’s sentences like a pair of newlyweds. And for all the chick magnetism of their cars, they admit that harboring a passion for wigged-out whips sometimes has unexpected consequences. Carton, who characterizes his car as a “sick obsession,” admits he recently lost a girlfriend over the Acura. “She wasn’t feelin’ it,” he laments. “The car or the girlfriend,” Oliver chirps. “The car won.” The way these guys explain it, a car-stereo fixation sounds a lot like a drug or gambling addiction. Both confess that their cars have become black holes of time and resources. “It’s crazy. A lot of people say there’s no end, and it’s true,” Carton says. “You want more. >> 30A

I’m hooked.” He pauses to reflect. “But at least I’m not spending my money on cocaine.” An obsession with carstereo equipment may be a healthier escape than drugs. But fanatics do run the risk of physical repercussions: Dangerous Decibels, a nonprofit research group, classifies all sound over 85 decibels as potentially, well, dangerous. Carton’s system can reach up to 140 — and he plans to boost it to 150 by adding a few more doodads. “I definitely yell a lot more now,” he concedes. “I’ve been around loud music since I was little.” It doesn’t help that he used to play drums. His dad, who lives in the Richmond area, has been doing bodywork and car-audio installation for 26 years. Carton observes that a 140decibel system packs as much aural punch as a gunshot. “The old-timers tell us to wear earplugs,” notes the Speed Demon sagely.

When it comes to road tripping, I generally listen to Delta blues in the slow lane. But that doesn’t stop me from hopping into Carton’s supercar. Once I’m settled into my leather passenger seat, Oliver closes the door behind me, and I stare at the neon lights whirling around the stereo display. Then I notice a Jägermeister pennant hanging from Carton’s keys. “Steve,” Oliver calls out as Carton turns the ignition, “you make sure he knows how loud this thing is.” Carton nods and motors east out of Great Northern’s driveway. The car engine sounds like an airplane, and the purple nitrous oxide tanks — whose contents can increase this car’s oomph by as much as one-sixth of total horsepower for short, periodic bursts — are about 3 feet from my head. “I’m nervous,” I confess, privately rescinding my newlywed analogy. “The nitrousoxide tanks look like bombs. And what’s with that Jäger keychain?” “Dude, don’t worry about what I do on the weekends,” Carton assures me. I look up at the circular performance tachometer on the dashboard. I’ve seen similar displays before, in video arcades, but this one looks different. “Why are the numbers so big?” I ask. Carton pauses for a few seconds. “This may scare you,” he warns. “I have poor eyesight.” My palms begin to get clammy. We hang a left onto Shelburne Road, then motor for a hundred feet or so before

stopping at a red light. Carton switches the music to Busta Rhymes and revs the engine in neutral. For a few moments, it’s terrifyingly loud. Over the swell of the bass, I can’t even hear myself think, let alone pray. We are still vibrating at the stoplight when a dumpy, turquoise Honda Civic pulls up next to us. Carton shoots the driver a challenging stare. The guy just raises his eyebrows. “I FEEL LIKE I’M IN A RACE CAR,” I yell.
“Those?” he responds. “They’re empty.” As I step out of the Acura, my anxiety morphs into indignation. “No nitrous? No ear damage? What is this, Steve?” I say accusingly. “I was prepared for a lot more irresponsibility.” Oliver and Speed Freak look on incredulously from inside the garage. Still sitting in the cockpit, Carton explains that the tanks cost $100 a pop. Besides, he’s taking it easy on his car these days.

For a few moments, it’s terrifyingly loud. Over the swell of the bass, I can’t even hear myself think, let alone pray. “YOU ARE,” Carton reminds me. I pull on my harness. The red light changes to green. We rocket forward. But just as I’m about to close my eyes, a police car appears in my side rear-view. Carton sees it, too, and keeps the speedometer under 45. Turning the music down to a pleasant volume, he complains that Burlington cops often target him unjustly. Then he pulls a U-turn and heads north on Shelburne Road. We’re back at the store in under a minute. “Hey, what about those nitrous tanks?” I ask as we pull into the driveway.
“So, what, are you going soft on me?” I demand. “Early retirement?” Carton shrugs defensively. “I wouldn’t say I was retiring. I’d just say I love my car.” He pauses outside the shop in the sunlight, and the other men join us, lighting up cigarettes. “I don’t beat it like I used to,” Carton explains. “I’ve built up a respect for my vehicle.” He tilts his head. “But if Corey took you for a ride?” We all look to Oliver, who declares with a slow, deliberate nod, “If I took you for a ride, you would have to change your pants.” �

I’m With the Band Burlington band Chuch tests its metal mettle on the road
he ferry ride from Burlington to Plattsburgh isn’t a journey you want to make with folks who can’t hold up their end of a conversation — especially not in an overloaded 1986 Dodge Ram slant-six conversion van that has floorSTORY to-ceiling fake-wood paneling, shag carDAN BOLLES pets, pictures of naked chicks from lowgrade porn mags behind the sun visors, a Gibson SG-shaped air freshener hanging IMAGES MATTHEW from the rearview, and no air conditionTHORSEN ing. Voluntarily traveling in a vehicle of this ilk requires the utmost faith in its cargo. In this case, the cargo is an entire stage set’s worth of amps, guitars and drums and four gangly rock musicians. I, the mildly nervous music writer in attendance, am putting my faith in Chuch. I’m tagging along with the band to their gig across the lake on a muggy Friday evening in late May. Though based in Burlington, the hard-rocking, country-tinged Chuch — self-described as “denim-fueled speed Western” — have spent most of their time on the road since forming about three years ago. Tonight’s show is the last before a rare hometown appearance at Nectar’s. And I’m about to get a taste of the alltoo-harsh realities of touring. The bandmates — brothers Noah Crowther, 30, and Justin Crowther, 25; Matt Hayes, 29; and Chad “Chitter” Hammaker, 30 — turn out to be worthy conversationalists. On the way to Plattsburgh we cover a variety of topics, from marriage and relationships to life on the road and pickpocket strippers in Mexico. You know, typical musician small talk. We arrive on the doorstep of Olive Ridley’s shortly before 8 p.m. On a night like this one, downtown Burlington would be teeming with pleasure-seekers. But the Queen City’s neighbor to the west is eerily quiet: Storefronts are dark and foreboding. Desolate street corners and sidewalks look like sets for an episode of “The Twilight Zone.” According to guitarist/pedal-steel player Hayes, that’s par for the course. “This town doesn’t really get hopping until after midnight,” he says. Noting amused skepticism on the face of bass player Noah Crowther, Hayes smirks and adds, “If it does at all.” I make a note to watch for tumbleweeds. From the outside, Olive Ridley’s is unassuming. As we disembark, clown carstyle, I notice a small sign hanging above the front door; it’s the only indication that the plain, single-story building houses a commercial establishment, much less a nightclub hosting national touring bands. “When we play Plattsburgh, we typically play at Monopole, which is kind of a hole in the wall,” Hayes explains. “There’s not really even a stage, but we usually draw a decent crowd, and the people that run the place are great.” Eyeing this venue’s unadorned brick façade, he muses, “I’m not really sure what to make of this place.” We pull the van around to a side door and begin the laborious process of loading in a succession of battle-scarred black cases. And, lo and behold, the club is beautiful — a proverbial diamond in the rough. Professional lighting rigs illuminate a large stage that opens onto a hardwood dance floor. A handsome bar is stocked with top-shelf booze and a pretty, blonde barmaid. A couple of electronic dartboards and a pool table

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: MATT HAYES, NOAH CROWTHER, JUSTIN CROWTHER AND CHAD HAMMAKER
We’ve pulled up to gigs and had entire cases of empty beer bottles fall to the ground when we open the doors. This van’s seen it all. MATT HAYES line the far wall. The place is decorated with posters from monumental rock shows — Bob Dylan and Van Morrison in Montréal. Pearl Jam, Nirvana and The Red Hot Chili Peppers in San Francisco. So far, so good. According to Hayes, though, the true measure of a club is its commodes. “We played this dive in Texas that was
just disgusting,” he gripes. “There was literally shit on the walls and maggots on the floor. Turned out to be one of the worst gigs we’ve ever played. I’m not sure we even got paid. You can tell a lot about a place by its bathroom.” If that’s true, we’re in for a good night: The restrooms at Olive Ridley’s are spacious and immaculate, with plenty of
hand soap and towels. “That’s supersweet,” says Hayes with a smile. The band sets up on stage, gradually transforming the patch cords, guitars, drums and PA gear into something resembling a rock band. No longer needed, I stroll through the club, past a self-serve popcorn machine and into the adjoining restaurant. The contrast to
SEVEN DAYS | june 06-13, 2007 | feature 33A
Vermont College of Cosmetology the club is striking; this room is brightly lit and looks like somewhere you’d bring the kids. Flatscreen TVs offer up various sporting events in every corner. A few locals sit at the end of the bar chatting with yet another attractive young bartender. I belly up and order a Bud. A few moments later, the familiar strains of a sound check penetrate the walls — overdriven guitars, trebly bass and undermixed vocals — temporarily drowning out a new Jack Johnson song on the pub stereo. I down my beer, order another and make my way back into the club. It’s loud. Really loud. Two young women are having an animated conversation in the center of the room, eyeing the band and gesturing toward the stage. The band is limping through a new song that’s obviously still in the works. Hayes and bassist Noah Crowther exchange frustrated looks and seem completely out of sync, while lead guitarist Hammaker and drummer Justin Crowther look on anxiously. I wander over to the ladies and attempt to introduce myself over the din of distorted guitars and pounding drums. If the club fills up, bodies will dampen the volume. If not, I’ll be wishing I’d brought earplugs. Leah Konecny, 29, seems distracted but introduces herself as Chuch’s manager and booking agent. The band stops midway through the song to regroup, and Konecny shouts instructions at the stage: “Matt, your guitar is way too loud and your pedal steel needs to come up! The bass has too much high end, and I can’t hear the vocals.” All business, the band members make the necessary adjustments. They try the song again, and the difference is startling. Konecny’s suggestions were spot-on: Though the volume is still borderline painful, the mix is perfect, and the band runs the new tune flawlessly. I find myself so engaged in the quartet’s interplay that, though it’s only a sound check, I applaud at the song’s rollicking finish. Chuch’s brand of metal-tainted rockabilly is a perfect soundtrack for a night of hard drinkin’, and I’m happy to oblige. The resulting evening is a swirling, boozy blur of Hunter S. Thompson proportions. It’s common for a band to draw energy from its crowd — not always of the positive variety. Ridley’s isn’t even close to filling up. As the band tears ferociously through its first few songs, the polite applause from the sparse crowd would be comical in contrast, if it weren’t so obviously unsettling to the players. Test-driving their new tune in front of this “audience” proves nearly fatal, and leads to a restart — the musical equivalent of defibrillator paddles. For the most part, Chuch takes it in stride. Hayes snaps off
self-deprecating one-liners between songs, trying to build what rapport he can with the pensive crowd. Credit their professionalism for their efforts to play as though this is a hugely important gig, which it’s not. Unfortunately, bravado falls prey to the inevitable let-down: Though the band never completely stalls out, it’s clearly not their best night. During a set break I venture outside, passing a middle-aged couple who are dry-humping on a pool table — while, it appears, awaiting their turn at electrodarts. Through a side door, I overhear a young man and woman arguing heatedly about whether the guy did or did not pay for his new Chuch CD. From the sheepish look on his face, I guess not. Karma’s such a bitch. Near the front door, a hideously inebriated frat boy is threatening to beat up an equally plastered sexagenarian, who seems to have loosed some choice words regarding the perceived virtue of the frat boy’s mother. The situation resolves itself boringly, without fisticuffs, so I stroll through town in search of a convenience store where I can reload on smokes. It’s just before 2 a.m. — closing time — by the time I get back to Ridley’s, and the band is bidding a sarcastic farewell to the remaining stragglers — all seven of them. Being in no condition to offer assistance as the guys hastily break down their equipment, I stumble outdoors toward the van. Back in the relatively safe confines of the Chuch-mobile, we head for Burlington. The rockers are noticeably ragged after a hard night — and, frankly, so am I. Hayes pilots and I ride shotgun. Hammaker and Crowther-the-elder cozy up in the back seat. Crowtherthe-younger wisely chooses to make the trip home with his girlfriend and Konecny in a separate car. Chuch has seen many nights like this in their beloved van. They’ve put tens of thousands of miles on the vehicle over the past three years, touring the East Coast several times and even venturing into the deep South in the middle of August — again, with no AC. Chuch has played not just clubs but festivals, from the Gathering of the Vibes in Connecticut to the High Sierra Music Festival in California. “Anything you think might have happened in this van probably has,” says Hayes. “We’ve run into things, living and otherwise. We’ve piled 15 people in the back after shows, to go party. We’ve pulled up to gigs and had entire cases of empty beer bottles fall to the ground when we open the doors. This van’s seen it all.” The title of the band’s debut album, Four Tall, refers to a commonplace, thrifty sleeping arrange-

ment on the road. Sacrificing more traditional accommodations for necessities such as food and beer, the members often sleep sitting straight up in the van — or “four tall.” Stories from the road also play an important role in Chuch’s recent follow-up, Juarez. In fact, there’s a story behind that title. On a rare off-night during last year’s West Coast swing, Chuch found themselves in El Paso, Texas, with nothing to do. Like thousands of red-blooded American boys-of-all-ages before them, they headed to Juarez, Mexico, to absorb some local “culture.” Or, as Hayes dubs it, “the freak show.” In Juarez they searched — in vain — for a certain donkey show, and they had a run-in with a pair of Artful Dodger strippers. “That night really stuck in our minds as the point in the trip where everyone got to unwind,” says Hayes, reluctant to delve too deep into the issue of just how, exactly, the girls snagged his wallet. “The neat thing about it is that no matter what happens for
always kinda fucking around in this weird way that only really makes sense to us, and we had this running joke about an overweight female dump-truck driver nicknamed Chuch,” explains Noah Crowther. He adds an alternative etymology: “Sometimes we’ll say, referring to our last names, that Chuch is two Cs and two Hs, brought together by you.” Justin Crowther chimes in, “Chuch is also Italian for idiot.” It takes a lot to endure the hardships of the road, from claustrophobic, all-night van rides after lackluster gigs to lengthy separations from loved ones. (Hayes and Noah Crowther both recently got married.) You might even say it requires a type of familial idiocy acquired through trial by fire. Growing up together in rural Pennsylvania probably helped. Members of the band started moving to Vermont nearly eight years ago; they cite their desire to be in a small town but exposed to a lively arts culture. Though Chuch is known for plying its
Noah Crowther recalls. Chaykin responded favorably and began using Chuch to trade gigs with bands and clubs all over the East Coast. Within months of their Burlington debut, Chuch was booked to play at the jam-tacular Gathering of the Vibes — an odd festival for a heavy-rock band. They spent most of that summer on the road, gathering a significant out-of-state following, and have followed that pattern ever since. Still, it’s the hometown gigs that seem to excite — and, perhaps, unnerve — the band the most. “There’s no guarantee that we’ll pack Nectar’s or Higher Ground when we’re here,” says Hayes. “It’s weird, because this is where we’re from. It would definitely be easier to do what we do living in another place, but this is home, so it’s always a cool feeling to see familiar faces in the crowd.” The night after the Plattsburgh debacle, Chuch does pack Nectar’s, and it’s a classic performance. “That felt great, especially

the rest of our time playing, later down the road I can look back on that record — both records — and it’ll put a smile on my face. We’ll always remember that.” Juarez tells other touring tales, too. For manager Konecny, the song “Tumbleweed” recalls “the only time on the entire tour that they let me drive the van,” she relates. “We were going to Reno, and — seriously, it was not my fault — all of a sudden the wind gusted to, like, 120,000 miles an hour and we were swerving all over the place. It was a dust storm, and there were these tumbleweeds blowing everywhere. I laugh every time I hear Noah sing that song, but I kinda almost killed the band.” Hayes offers another perspective: “That song is really kind of the story of the tour. To me, a lot of our songs are really about the times in between, when we’re trying to get to the next town. It’s also those times that I think stick with us the most.” Perhaps even more than the music they play, it’s shared experiences like those in Juarez — and Plattsburgh — that make Chuch the unique band of brothers they are. Even their unusual name stems from fraternal camaraderie. “We’re
trade all over the country, shows such as the one in Plattsburgh are, sadly, not unusual. “To say that we don’t have those kinds of nights from time to time would be a lie,” laments Hayes. Many bands wouldn’t commit themselves to the strain of touring without some form of remuneration. Yet no member of Chuch has ever seen a dime, nor has their manager. “We invest everything back into the band,” explains Hayes. “If we decided to split it up, it’d probably be a nice chunk of change, but we also probably wouldn’t be able to do the things we’re doing.” It’s one of many smart moves the band has made. Perhaps the wisest choice was not to grind it out in Burlington before hitting the road. Says Hayes, “We made the decision from the start that if we were going to do this, we were going to really do it. If it doesn’t pan out, so be it, but we’ll be able to say that we gave it our best shot.” Shortly after their first gig at Nectar’s, Chuch approached the club’s booking agent at the time, Alex Chaykin. “We weren’t even really sure what we were asking for, but we knew that we had no idea how to talk to club owners,”
after last night,” says Hayes, beaming. Local Chuch fan Josh Waldman concurs: “They rocked. Chitter revitalizes the term axeman — Motorhead-style.” It’s a great homecoming for a group that doesn’t always feel like a hometown band. “I always wish we had a bigger following here,” concedes Hayes, “but it was great to see people come out and have a good time.” While that sentiment applies to every show Chuch plays, it has special resonance at Burlington performances. When the band members talk about sidestepping the local proving grounds, they show mild remorse but not real regret. “I know plenty of people who are really happy just playing in town,” says Hayes. “That was never as appealing to us, though we do love playing here. We just had to do it our way.” As long as Chuch keeps doing it their way, there will be no record deals or management contracts. There is no end-game or exit strategy. The band will call it quits on their timetable, as well. “If at some point we’re not happy doing this, we’ll stop,” says Hayes. “We’re family first and a band second.” �

STORY
CASEY RAEHUNTER
or music lovers of a certain age, the infatuation goes well beyond the sounds themselves. Fans of all stripes have long fetishized the media by which tunes are transmitted, from old-time 45s to shiny compact discs. But with broadband downloads and portable MP3 players replacing the old means of distribution, the era of the collector may soon be over. As a youth, I remember the thrill of buying a new cassette tape, and the peculiar yet pleasant smell of the packaging —
awesome cassette smell), I still made regular pilgrimages to my local record shop to confer with the hip and knowledgeable employees. For a young music obsessive, there was no better education. But school, as Alice Cooper once declared, is out for summer. With the death of the CD seemingly on the horizon, retailers — from big-box chains to neighborhood shops — are struggling. Almost everyone agrees that the CD is destined to become extinct. What’s sur-
Almost everyone agrees that the CD is destined to become extinct. What’s surprising is how quickly it’s happening. an olfactory combo of molded plastic and grape bubble gum. As a teenager, I enjoyed perusing my parents’ (and girlfriends’ parents’) vinyl LPs, marveling at the gatefold art. I particularly loved Roger Dean’s fantasyscapes on Yes albums and Hipgnosis’ unforgettable Pink Floyd designs. The music was pretty awesome, too. When tapes died out, I eagerly embraced the compact disc. This new format promised not only more space for tunes, but also to be virtually indestructible. The former was definitely true, the latter not so much. Although CD packaging lacked the dynamism of vinyl (or that
prising is how quickly it’s happening. Like glaciers and decency in politics, the compact disc will soon be a thing of the past. Some industry analysts are predicting the 2007 holiday season will be the format’s last hurrah. So what does this mean for Vermont’s independent music retailers? Many of these stores, including Barre’s Exile on Main Street, Montpelier’s Buch Spieler Music and Burlington’s Pure Pop Records, have been around for more than a quartercentury. Most are still hanging in there, but there have been casualties: Plattsburgh’s 23-year-old Peacock Music closed its doors last December. The Flying Disc, >> 38A

a St. Albans-based shop, recently shuttered its Enosburg satellite store, and no longer sells new CDs. Instead, it offers used discs and, according to proprietor Ben Maddox, “coffee smoothies, musical-instrument accessories, video games, DVDs and wi-fi.” Despite the ubiquity of the iPod and the phenomenal popularity of “American Idol,” the record industry is clearly ailing. Sales of all music products, from disc to download, declined a shocking 20 percent this year. Mega-chain retailers such as Tower Records have shut down operations completely. Can the independent stores be far behind? It seemed like a good time to get their read on the state of the industry. It’s no secret that CD burning and downloading has taken a huge toll on sales, but many owners and managers blame the major labels themselves for the slump. “They go for the easy buck,” says Pure Pop manager Michael Crandall. “I’ve read that the majority of CDs sold in this country are from nonmusic stores, like Best Buy or Wal-Mart.” Those big-box stores can easily undercut their indie competitors on price. And there’s more on that subject: When the industry wants to break a hot new act, they lower tags to as little as five to nine bucks. Once the artist hits it big, prices can rocket to $17 or $18. This tends to alienate customers, and even drive them to illegal downloading. “If the labels would lower the price of CDs, I think people would be more willing buy them,” Crandall says. “Because a lot of them still want to own the physical product.” Pure Pop has taken pains to diversify, carrying such nonmusical items as books, magazines, T-shirts and candy. The store is lucky to be a member of the Coalition of Independent Music Sellers, or CIMS — a national organization that provides its members with listening stations and exclusive CDs such as Pearl Jam’s recent Live at Easy Street, which was recorded at a CIMS outlet in Seattle. Until recently, the coalition had been working to bridge the widening digital divide. “We [CIMS] were in negotiations with a lot of the big labels to have stores be able to sell MP3s to their customers through their own websites,” Crandall offers. “But that’s kind of stalled right now. It wouldn’t obviously be that big of a deal for us, but for some of the larger indie stores it seemed exciting.” One unexpected area of growth is a blast from the past. “We have younger customers that are really into vinyl,” Crandall reports. “And a lot of the bigger indie labels are reissuing their back catalogue on LP. I know someone who is selling
off all of his CDs because he can keep it all digitally in his computer or whatever. But when he wants something to collect, he buys the vinyl.” Kevin Brown, a manager at Buch Spieler, echoes many of Crandall’s sentiments about the dire state of the biz. But he also sees an upside. “There’s been so much news about CDs dying,” he says. “Yet there seems to be something of an anti-anti-CD backlash. I don’t know if it’s enough to save a dying industry, but there are people who are waving the flag and saying, ‘I still want to buy CDs.’” He’s more circumspect about the long-term future of music retail, however. “I think we’re inventing it every day,” Brown says. “Whatever happens, it’ll be a boutique thing.” Brown claims that Buch Spieler’s roots in the Montpelier community and strong support of area artists helps the store’s bottom line. “The whole local Vermont music thing has really been happening for us,” he explains. “It’s keeping us afloat, and it feels good. It’s nice to help support something that really matters.” Brown also blames the major labels for the dwindling interest in commercial CDs. “It’s deeper than downloading,” he says. “It has to do with the record companies not having a clue as to what they’re doing. The opportunity to create a value-added product was just not taken. When you think about all the great album covers, they were works of art. But when was the last time someone saw a CD cover and said, ‘Wow, that’s beautiful’?” Exile on Main Street owner Sandy Thurston is likewise miffed at the industry suits. “My own opinion is that the music business did this to itself,” she states. “They jack the prices up so high it’s ridiculous. Somebody’s making money off it, but it’s not us. And they don’t invest in their artists longterm. They see somebody they think is gonna be hot, but it’s only for one song.” Like other retailers, Thurston sees an upswing in the old-fashioned LP. “I’ve got a lot of vinyl buyers,” she says. “It’s really interesting — they’re ranging from high school age right up through [adults]. The most excitable vinyl buyer right now seems to be male and in his early twenties.” Thurston knows why her shop stays afloat in today’s turbulent retail waters. “People talk here. It’s a conversation. They browse, they visit, they compare the old records. It’s very much a social atmosphere, so the customers are more loyal. They see the value of small, independent downtown stores.” Ben Maddox of Flying Disc believes customer relations are key. “I think we provide a valuable service to many who have

no [access to technology] or prefer to listen to CDs,” he says. “We happily special-order both rare and common discs. We also offer patient research and service to people whom Best Buy would simply hang up on, or a mall store wouldn’t have time for.” All the local shops have seen a “graying” of their customer base. This is most likely due to the on-demand lifestyle of today’s youth. Maddox still gets
predicting the future,” he confesses. “Here’s an example: When CDs first came out, the local press came to talk to me about it. I said something like, ‘Vinyl is here to stay!’ And, of course, in two years it was all gone.” Peacock sees the aging of CD buyers as a particularly bad sign. “No business can survive if it isn’t attracting another generation of customers,” he notes. “In our last few years, we

some kid customers, those “whose parents don’t have computers, credit cards and broadband access.” For the time being, anyway. Gary Peacock, former owner of Peacock Music, gets philosophical when asked why CD sales are suffering. “One of the biggest problems is what I like to call the ‘devaluation’ of music,” he relates. “People from my era remember things like their first kiss when they hear a certain song. I don’t think that’s the case with the digital generation. And then you have music being used in commercials, like The Beatles’ “Revolution” in a Nike ad. It changes people’s relationship to the song.” Peacock is not as comfortable speculating on where music retail is heading. “I’m so bad at
weren’t seeing younger kids anymore.” There were several reasons Peacock decided to quit the music-selling game. Personally, he wanted time to do some traveling with his wife. But, despite what he says about predicting the future, he could also read the writing on the wall. “I didn’t want to get to the point where I couldn’t pay my employees,” he says. “We could’ve stayed around for a couple more years, but I didn’t think we’d be in any better position. It’s like being in a band and doing an encore. You don’t want to kill it by staying on stage for too long. Always leave ’em wanting more.” Whether anyone will still want CDs remains to be seen. � 3x11-VTMozart060607.indd 1

The master percussionist shows his “Stuff” in a solo show
here does a musician choose to live when his art makes a really big racket? In 6/4/07 6:50:49 PM Vermont, some opt for the quiet countryside — and practice when the neighbors are at their day jobs. STORY Percussionist Brian Johnson chuckles as PAMELA he relates the directions to his house in POLSTON Cambridge. He resides in a neat mobile home in a community called Highland IMAGES Estates; several of the rural roads along the LANI way have equally grandiose names. “You’ll STACK see my house and my truck at the end of “Electron Theory: the drive,” he concludes with another The Stuff of chuckle. “Then you’ll be at my estate.

On the contrary, he seems happy as Burlington, a clam. “Some people say it’s a trailer park, June 15, 8 p.m. 11/7/06 9:48:30 AM but it’s a housing development; I own the $18.

That is, Johnson’s upcoming solo percussion-and-spoken-word performance at Burlington’s FlynnSpace — a facility he happens to manage. The heady title of his presentation, which was commissioned by the Flynn, is “Electron Theory: The Stuff of Being.” Settling into what is clearly his favorite chair — right next to the glassed-in quarters of his Russian box turtle, Little Nikita — Johnson tries to explain himself. “At some point you start to think about what it’s all about,” he begins. “I was meditating on, what is the thing that makes life? 168 battery street It’s electrical charge.

rates being from non-being . . . That ‘three thing’ manifests itself in so many ways.” The big trinity, of course, is “body, mind, and what I call the confounding ‘other.’ Most people call it spirit,” he says. Just when his visitor is wondering what all this has to do with banging on instruments, Johnson sums it up: “So, this performance is exploring those three things.” Oh. But the triumvirate structure of “Electron Theory” — “The Realm of Body,” “The Realm of Mind” and “The Realm of Other” — is only part of the numerology. The whole show actually consists of nine compositions, each “completely different from each other,” Johnson announces, and varying in length from four to about 30 minutes. All are written for small percussion set-ups — that is, just one or a few instruments. Johnson likes to focus on what a single instrument can do. The triangle, for instance. Included in Johnson’s program is a 1988 piece written for him by a former professor, the composer Alvin Lucier. Called “Silver Streetcar for the Orchestra,” it wrests from the elementary instrument every sound one might think possible, and then a lot more. The singular composition “makes you listen minutely,” Johnson says, noting that he premiered it in Miami at a New Music America festival. “It’s now played all over the world” by fellow percussionists, he notes with a trace of . . . not so much pride as wonderment. Most pieces on the program are Johnson’s original compositions, such as “In D Minor,” in which “a whole lot of things are going on at once,” thanks to an amplifier, vibrato and an octave doubler. Johnson describes another piece called “In

For this piece he hand-built an ingenious contraption from wood and metal hinges. “I haunt hardware stores,â€? Johnson confides. Moving the hinges slowly back and forth, he duplicates the precise sound of creaking oars on a wooden boat. Until called into action, this apparatus sits on its own stand in Johnson’s compact living room, doubling as a conversation piece. The creaking thingy pales in comparison with Johnson’s “dreamset,â€? however. Dominating a small room at the back of his house, this Ăźber-drum kit has the usual kick, snare and high-hat, but it’s pimped out with extras such as sleigh bells, a bell tree, a gong, tuned finger cymbals, Chinese-Vietnamese temple blocks and other jury-rigged noisemakers. When Johnson demonstrates it, the sounds — aside from the chest-thumping pulse of the kickdrum — are both otherworldly and, well, third-worldly. The overall effect is vaguely mystical, like music used in rituals. That’s intentional — but so is the
Petrin, who calls Johnson’s concerts “more than just a listening experience,� notes that the Flynn has commissioned work from him before. In 1991, the arts center sponsored his composition for a nationwide festival called New Music Across America; Johnson’s piece was performed at the University of Vermont’s Fleming Museum. In addition, Johnson says, he was commissioned to compose and perform music for the grand opening of the newly renovated Flynn, in 2000. “We had people playing on the roof and on the street,� he recalls. Patrons of the FlynnSpace who don’t yet know Johnson as a musician and composer will certainly recognize him as the imposingly tall, longhaired and beetlebrowed bartender. A gracious and witty host at other people’s performances, Johnson has been manager and technical coordinator since the FlynnSpace opened. Outside his day — or rather, night — job, he serves as president of the Vermont chapter of the American Federation of Musicians. Though “there’s not much going on in Vermont,� he admits — musicians here do not have union con-

Brian Johnson may shroud his turtle obsession in mystery, but it isn’t any secret to his friends. Aimee Petrin, his former colleague at the Flynn and now executive director of PCA Great Performances in Portland, Maine, knows all about it. “This is a man who brakes for snapping turtles,� says Petrin. “He’ll actually get out of the car and move them to safety.� One time, Johnson lore has it, he rescued a turtle mother-in-waiting and went to the trouble of finding her buried eggs so he could move them, too.
tracts — members can take advantage of professional discounts on equipment, as well as legal services. Johnson used the latter when he got divorced several years ago, he says. He often attends the federation’s conventions and has used his authority at times “to help prevent Vermont musicians from getting ripped off.� Johnson rarely has to play the heavy for his peeps, though. More often, he’s just playing music, such as for the Vermont Symphony Orchestra — that’s him manning the timpani — or the Green Mountain Opera Company. Then there’s his much less predictable, non-classical work. Fellow percussionist Jeff Salisbury, who teaches at UVM and Johnson State College, recalls when he had his own commission from the Flynn in 2003 and invited Johnson to be a member of his quartet. One improvisational piece, on the history of brushes, involved flyswatters, whisk brooms and regular drum brushes. “I gave Brian the flyswatters, and he went out and had the audience in stitches,� Salisbury says. “He is eclectic, intelligent and hilarious — an amazingly humorous percussionist.� Calling Johnson a “sort of neoclassical percussionist,� Salisbury notes his varied background in classical and contemporary music. “Brian has played in Shakespeare festivals and toured in Europe,� Salisbury says, then points to Johnson’s active involvement in the international Percussive Arts Society as evidence of his

slightly comical quality. Johnson sits encircled by his percussive playpen, looking both mischievous and masterful. The text he’s written to accompany the music, he says, is “incantatory.� The dreamset comes into play, literally, in the third section of “Electron Theory� — the “Other� place. Billed as a world premiere in a press release, the piece is also called the “21st-century version of ‘Dreams on the Turtle Earth’ — an epic narrative of Johnson’s mysterious encounters with, and dreams of, one of the Earth’s oldest creatures.� That would explain Little Nikita. And the framed color photograph of other turtles, cut from a magazine, that hangs on Johnson’s bathroom wall. “I have amazing encounters with turtles, and I do dream about them. I don’t know why,� Johnson reveals. “I have come up with a strange conclusion, but I don’t want to say what it is.�

Afterward, he stayed in town to become a music presenter at an experimental arts center called Real Art Ways. He also played drums in a “pun rock� band called Billy & the Buttons in the early-tomid-’80s, performing in such iconic venues as CBGB’s in New York City.

was very nice� — until the community was shattered by a wave of gang violence beginning in 1989. The next year, Johnson moved to Vermont. Though he lauds a couple of Hartt professors as important influences, Johnson says his “greatest hero� is the late composer John Cage, a pioneer in both electronic music and “chance� music using found instruments. Johnson’s penchant for humor and the avant-garde made him a natural fit for “Kalvos & Damian’s New Music Bazaar� — the now-defunct radio show, formerly at Goddard College’s WGDR, that focused on the quirky world of contemporary nonpop. “Damian� was Barre-based composer David Gunn, who recalls when Johnson performed that solo tri-

And everyone felt much better after the man left,� he notes, “so the exorcism was successful.� Gunn says he can’t think of any other composers in nonpop circles who do solo percussion; he’s particularly impressed by Johnson’s creative use of single instruments and his unorthodox presentations. “He has a wonderful piece about reaching his 50th birthday that consists of Brian playing the bass drum with, I think, a cymbal on top — it vibrates against the drum head,� Gunn explains. “There is a great racket and he screams poetry while playing. This is not a warm-and-fuzzy piece, but it’s a laugh riot.�

Even so, Johnson concedes, “There are still a lot of people who don’t even know what percussion means. ‘You mean, like drums?’â€? he mimics.

Grande Dame Theater review: Vivien
T
he two-year quest to cast the perfect Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind is the stuff of Hollywood legend. When the frenzied search began, immediately after the 1936 publication of Margaret STORY Mitchell’s Civil War novel, Vivien Leigh ELISABETH was a 23-year-old British stage actress virCREAN tually unknown in the United States. Yet Vivien, directed she connected with the story’s heroine by Peter Sander, with such passion that she felt destined to produced by play the Southern belle.

ly, as a 1939 New York Times review of the film noted: “She is so perfectly designed for the part by art and nature that any other actress in the role would be inconceivable.” Leigh won the 1939 Academy Award for her performance. Just as Leigh captured the iconic Scarlett, so actress Janis Stevens embodied the legendary Leigh in Rick Foster’s remarkable one-woman play Vivien. The show came to Montpelier in a production exchange between Lost Nation Theater and Maine’s Theater at Monmouth; they’re seeing David Budbill’s Judevine. Foster and Stevens have collaborated on Vivien for a decade, and the result was a polished and powerful evening of theater. Vivien takes place shortly before Leigh’s premature death at age 53, from a recurrence of the tuberculosis that she may have contracted while visiting and performing for British troops in North Africa during World War II. The action unfolds over one day in July 1967, on a London

FREE In-Store Wine Sampling Saturday, June 9th, 1-7PM stage, when the actress shows up early to read for a part in a new Edward Albee play, A Delicate Balance. Since no one else has arrived, Vivien has time for reverie about her life on and off the stage. The word “balance” provides a fitting point of departure for her thoughts, since mental stability often eluded Leigh. A serious case of manic depression brought swings of mood and behavior that increasingly disrupted her life, requiring eventual bouts of hospitalization and shock treatment. As she alternates between memories and reflections, Vivien chats with old friends such as Noel Coward, Winston Churchill and Katharine Hepburn. She reenacts scenes from her favorite Shakespearean roles — Juliet, Ophelia, Lady Macbeth, Cleopatra — while tossing in a few lines from her more famous film characters. And she talks frankly about the “strong-minded little visitors” of her illness: “Madame Mania” and the “Duchess of Darkness.”
lights in her eye or lined her face with subtle shadows. Director Peter Sander and lighting designer James McNamara certainly deserve credit for helping Stevens bring about these transformations. Stevens moved effortlessly through Vivien’s wide range of emotions: fire, enthusiasm, flirtatiousness and passion; fear, insecurity, anger and sadness. Like Foster, she focused on details: from a dead-on imitation of Kate Hepburn to an uncertain moment when Vivien’s hands shake as she brushes hair off her forehead. Throughout the play, she maintained a husky, slightly worn edge to her voice — appropriate to the ravages of age and TB. Kim Bent’s set, based on Ron Madonia’s design, gave Stevens plenty of room to roam as Vivien re-imagines scenes from her life. The sparsely furnished space represented a cross-section of a stage, backstage and a dressing room. A chaise longue became a raft and a bed; a ladder served as the mental hospital’s prison bars, as well as a treatment gurney. Gail Russell’s elegant
Stevens inhabited her character so completely that her performance felt like an evening with the real aging star, not the recreation of a long-dead one. But mostly, Vivien relives her tempestuous Great Love with Laurence Olivier. Even though they were both married when they met, she was as certain of their destiny to be together as she was about getting the role of Scarlett. Their marriage lasted 20 years, with personal and professional lives deeply entwined. Vivien reviews the disintegration of the epic relationship. As she recreates it onstage, we see how Leigh’s delicate health contributes, as does Olivier’s fragile ego. The night she wins her Oscar for GWTW, he loses for Wuthering Heights, and threatens to bash her brains out with her statuette. The playwright includes a wealth of detail, painting Leigh with the loving luminosity of a Vermeer. The rich layers form a complex portrait of a soul both tortured and triumphant. Small moments are both telling and memorable. Vivien remembers waking up alone in the hospital after days of sedation and shock treatments — Olivier and her mother have left town. Coward’s flowers and a card with four precious words from a friend — “Get well, dear Viv” — keep watch over her bedside. “Noel, I have carried that note in my purse for 14 years. I just need you to know that,” she says quietly. Stevens brilliantly conjured these lumpin-the-throat moments, as well as Leigh’s feistier, funnier side. She inhabited her character so completely that her performance felt like an evening with the real aging star, not the recreation of a longdead one. Without straining to mimic Leigh in any way, Stevens created a remarkable physical resemblance. Her carriage, diction and movement had the grace of a midcentury English lady of the theater. Amazingly, too, Stevens seemed able to age her face 20 years in an instant, shifting from young to old Vivien. Just by looking up or down, she caught a sparkle from the
costumes were strewn about the set, some heaped carelessly in piles on the floor. Stevens donned them over a black slip as needed: Antigone’s toga, Scarlett’s gown, Lady Olivier’s party dress. But Stevens spent most of the show barefoot, in the slip and a fuchsia dressing gown. This wasn’t a metaphor for “exposing” Vivien Leigh. Rather, the humble dressing room is where the actress feels most at home. Early in the play, she explains: “When I go out on stage I play my role for the night. When I go out in the world I play the role of ‘Vivien Leigh.’ But here, in my dressing room, I can play — no! I can be anyone — even myself.” Today’s 24/7 media beast feeds voraciously on celebrities’ personal travails, with zoom lenses catching every stumble and entertainment “reporters” dissecting every misstep. So Vivien is especially refreshing for what it doesn’t do: sensationalize the story of a truly troubled star. Foster’s script treats Leigh with compassion and sensitivity. He doesn’t sugarcoat the brutal realities of her ill health or unstable personal life, but he never resorts to the melodramatic clichés of “mad actress” or “temperamental diva.” Rather, Vivien Leigh comes across as a woman trying to make her marriage work, fighting to carve out a meaningful career and struggling to manage an unmanageable illness. This gives Vivien, the play, a surprising universality, and perhaps pays even greater tribute to the actress than Foster and Stevens intended. The playwright and performer have pulled back the curtain — thoughtfully and respectfully — and given us a richly three-dimensional picture of someone most of us have known only on celluloid. The real Vivien Leigh maintained courage, grace and pluck in the face of difficult circumstances — much like a certain Margaret Mitchell heroine she once played. �

Vermont two-wheelers take pedal power to Montréal
ne hundred-plus Vermont cyclists, their helmets festooned with gauzy green ribbons, composed a colorful contingent pedaling along car-free Montréal streets in the annual a blog by dan bolles Tour de l’Ile last Sunday. “It was so cool to ride on four-lane roads STORY and feel we’re just taking over,” said Patty KEVIN J. [7d BLOGS] Hallam of Middlebury. “Bikes ruled that day!” KELLEY For Hallam and the other participants in this year’s VerMontréal bike tour, the ramble IMAGE CHAPIN round a celebrating city marked the last leg SPENCER of a three-day ride that pushed off from Snow Farm Winery in South Hero. The 99 registered riders and about a dozen volunteers rolled toward Montréal on rural roads in the Champlain Islands and on a north2x3(cmyk)-solidstate.indd 1 6/5/07 1:10:57 PM south network of bike paths, foot bridges and a ferry in Québec. The tour was organized by Local Motion, a Burlington-based bicycling advocacy group. “This thing is really growing,” Vermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell said the day after completing the 100-mile ride to Montréal and the 30-mile Tour de l’Ile. Sorrell noted he had just emailed that same message to Tom Torti, head of the Vermont Chamber of Commerce. “I told him the chamber needs to get involved. There are huge possibilities because of Vermonters’ concerns about global warming and the chamber’s concerns about tourism and economic development. Biking is good for you, good for the environment, good for the economy,” Sorrell said. Less than half as many bikers took part in the first VerMontréal excursion three years ago. And the ride could reach “major and special” dimensions two years hence as a centerpiece of the 400th-anniversary celebrations of the European discovery of Lake Champlain, says Local Motion director Chapin Spencer. By then, communities all around the lake will have become more aware of the Champlain region’s biking opportunities, Spencer predicts. Local Motion sponsors the Have you been diagnosed with moderate to severe migraine? VerMontréal tour mainly to “ignite the Are you a man or woman at least 18 years of age or older? imaginations of Vermonters regarding longdistance cycling,” he says.

friendly neighbor to the north, Hallam suggests. The 3000-mile cycling route crisscrossing Québec “really does make it possible to get around exclusively on your bike,” she observes. Sorrell offers a similar assessment. “You can see that biking is much more part of their culture than ours,” he says. “The Tour de l’Ile is such a great event, but Montréal is always a good place for biking, and many people in the city take advantage of that.” While Local Motion and similar groups have greatly improved cycling experiences in parts of Vermont, riders in the Burlington area must still pedal uncomfortably close to cars on shoulder-less stretches of Spear and Dorset streets and on Williston Road. Intown biking can be treacherous elsewhere in the Champlain Valley, too. “Middlebury’s not a big place, but the traffic pattern makes it kind of intense for bikers,” Hallam notes. “Riding on Main Street can be a little tricky.” Last weekend, however, the riding was free and easy on the pancake-flat route from South Hero to downtown Montréal. Mild temperatures and mostly sunny skies provided the riders — many of them second- or third-timers — with an enjoyable contrast to the raw wind and driving rain on the second day of last year’s event. Cyclists moving at various speeds were led and tailed by Local Motion volunteers and accompanied by a motorized “sag wagon” as they covered Friday’s 65-mile section of the tour. After crossing into Canada at the sleepy Alburg border station, the tour followed Velo Québec’s Route Verte bike trail to what Spencer describes as “the unrecognized and wonderful city of St. Jean sur Richelieu.” Riders who never get enough could bike along St. Jean’s canal path to historic forts and center-city restaurants. The $329 price of this year’s VerMontréal tour included an overnight stay at Auberge Harris, a riverbank inn catering to bike tourists. The second day consisted of a 35-mile ride through more densely populated areas along the well-protected Route Verte, culminating in a bike-ferry crossing of the St. Lawrence River. Cyclists generally completed this leg of the tour by early afternoon, allow-

After dining at one of the city’s French, Asian, Caribbean, Middle Eastern, African or North American-style restaurants, the Vermonters spent Saturday night at the luxury-class Plaza Hotel on Rue Sherbrooke.

Sorrell, for example, was a regular runner until he underwent hip-replacement surgery a few years ago. At age 60, he now bikes at least 50 miles a week in good weather and completes two or three century (100-mile) rides each summer. “People love the VerMontréal tour,” Spencer adds, “because it’s got the right amount of socializing, riding and scenic-cultural attractions.”

People love the VerMontréal tour because it’s got the right amount of socializing, riding and scenic-cultural attractions. CHAPIN SPENCER Montréal’s eastern perimeter, rolling through neighborhoods seldom visited by U.S. tourists and stopping at parks stocked with refreshments and staffed by bike mechanics. Volunteers posted near sharp turns shouted warnings in French, while costumed performers along the route drummed, juggled and strutted on stilts. Spectators on balconies and sidewalks yelled encouragement to riders of all ages and many colors. The Vermont delegation was actually more homogeneous, agewise, than was the Tour de l’Ile as a whole. Spencer notes that the 99 riders ranged in age from midtwenties to late seventies, but averaged somewhere in the midfifties. Why so gray? One reason, Spencer suggests, is that “baby boomers enjoy the active-vacation concept.” And those who seek to combine exercise
Bikers typically ride in small groups, chatting as they pedal along at an undemanding pace of about 10 miles an hour. “I rode with a few people for a while, then maybe by myself for a couple of miles, then with another group of people,” recounts Greg Gerdel, research chief for the Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing. Despite the generational uniformity, Gerdel, 60, views the tour as “quite a mélange.” Riders who aren’t retired hold a variety of jobs — mostly as professionals — and exhibit “a variety of body types,” he remarks. Other riders describe the VerMontréal tour in terms of what it is not. To Sorrell, the “very eclectic crowd isn’t a bunch of hippies out on their bikes.” A few moments later, he says of the tour, “It’s not just an elitist thing with people in

Animal Magnetism
T EXHIBIT “Critters!”: Two- and threedimensional depictions of the animal world. Shelburne Art Center. Through August 2.
ARTWORK “Amazonis Friends” by Leonard Duffy
PHOTO Marc Awodey
he Shelburne Art Center offers light summertime fare for the next two months in the form of a playful, allmedia exhibition entitled “Critters!” More than 20 regional artists contributed to this menagerie of approximately 75 pieces, inspired by beasties both wild and domestic. Most of the captured animals are quadrupeds. Notable exceptions include a swinging monkey by Hinesburg painter Leonard Duffy, and several hand-built vessels by Sheila Poettgen. Poettgen’s oddly textural vessels seem quite abstract but in fact are naturalistic ceramics based on colonies of coral. Her unglazed organic cones with finely pocked surfaces are as fascinating as the genuine articles. “Blue Coral” is an 11-inch-tall piece with a roughly triangular footprint and two projections, both open at their tops — suitable for flower stems, at least. “Coral Vessel” is a larger, 17-inch piece shaped like an old crock jug gone slightly awry. Ceramics are well represented in the show, but Poettgen’s stand out for their startling originality. Alan Potter is, despite his surname, more of a ceramic sculptor than a potter. Formerly of Vermont but now based in Arizona, his emphasis is on animals having “a touch of personification, brought together with the organic nature of raku,” as he describes them.
Potter’s 14-inch-high “Polar Bear (Vulnerable)” was finished with a white glaze. Perched on a craggy cylindrical base, the bear’s sleekness recalls Inuit walrus ivory carving. The word “vulnerable” in the title may refer to the dire straits of the bears, which are contending with eroding ice floes due to global warming. Duffy’s aforementioned monkey is the star of “Amazonis Friends,” a richly patterned, 24-by-27-inch canvas that’s alive with vibrant movement. The composition, constructed from a group of layered “X” shapes, presents the dark-brown monkey as a silhouette in front of lighter background hues. Duffy’s jungle is an interlaced matrix of red and green flora crisscrossed by beige and gray tree trunks. The monkey’s “friend” is actually a jaguar in hiding, which seems piqued at the speed of the arboreal primate. Marcie Vallette’s paintings of sheep include a graceful 6-by-8-inch work entitled “Little Lamb.” Delicate contour lines set the animal apart from its pale green background. Amy Boemig’s 36-by-24-inch, vertically oriented “Run Red Rabbit” is a more formal oil painting. Its splendidly glazed surface portrays a puckish running hare, darting across a lush, verdant path like a character from Watership Down.
The silver gelatin prints of photographer Dawn Jones-Low provide an unusual brand of equestrian images. Her 18-by-21-inch “Gray Mare Series VI: Trust (3 of 3)” centers on a gray mare’s right eye. It’s like an onyx set into the pale planes of the horse’s face. A curved slice of black negative space frames the left side of the composition. In “Animality Series: Trust” Jones-Low creates a living landscape of texture, value and gently undulating shapes. Backs, withers and other horse body parts are pressed together, resembling furry Adirondacks seen beyond Lake Champlain. Elizabeth Meyer presents 14 black-and-white woodblock prints. The largest of these is the 24-by23-inch “Power Cat Family,” an expressionistic abstraction portraying a standing mama cat and three not-too-cuddly kittens. Meyer’s felines are jagged and thin, like feral creatures. Her cut marks in the prints are sharp as pine needles, and the flat, black cats facing right seem to be yowling at something or someone just off the edge of the picture. There are plenty of critters worth yowling about in this show, and quite a few worth “adopting” as well. “Critters!” is on view through the dog days of summer. m

ALMOST FAMOUS On the Big Town Gallery website, the late Robert Hamilton is quoted as saying, “My fiction now is that I want to be the best totally unknown painter in the world.” Hamilton, who died in 2004 at age 88, spent his career teaching at Rhode Island School of Design. He was an equal of the best figurative abstractionists of his era, but he wasn’t quite unknown. The exhibition of Hamilton’s paintings dating from 1985, at the Rochester venue through June 21, will surely diminish his “obscurity” even further, at least in the Green Mountains.

theborowitzreport Hillary Sends Gore Basket of Calorie-rich Treats
I
n a move that raised eyebrows among observers of the 2008 campaign for the Democratic nomination for president, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) today sent former Vice President Al Gore a gift basket laden with high-calorie treats. While the basket, chockful of such sumptuous snacks as chocolate croissants and pecan buns, was ostensibly a gift to congratulate Mr. Gore on the publication of his new book, The Assault on Reason, some members of the former vice president’s staff saw more sinister motives in Sen. Clinton’s choice of present. With Mr. Gore battling his waistline in recent years, any potential run for the White House in 2008 would presumably require a period of dieting and slimming down — processes that the basket of lipsmacking temptations seemed calculated to thwart. At a press conference in Washington this morning, Carol Foyler, a senior member of Mr. Gore’s staff, told reporters that the basket of sugary delicacies had been “immediately identified as a threat to the vice president” and disposed of. “At first we considered hiding the
basket,” Ms. Foyler said. “Then we determined that it would be better to move the basket to an undisclosed location, where it was destroyed.” Responding to the furor over the gift, Sen. Clinton called a press conference asking for forgiveness, claiming that she “meant no harm” in giving Mr. Gore the carbohydrate-rich basket. “I value my friendship with with Al Gore,” Mrs. Clinton said. “And, as a peace offering, I hope he will accept this case of Twinkies.”
I value my friendship with Al Gore.

game on
by david thomas
playing the electronic field
The Nonstop Party Eight is enough. Having reached its eighth incarnation, “Mario Party” has attained the sort of classic status normally reserved for Super Bowls or Harry Potter books. When you do enough of something, you no longer look like a poor copy of the original; instead, you’re contributing to a successful lineage. Eight years since the original “Mario Party” was released and 6.5 million copies of the series later, the basic premise hasn’t worn thin. In a game that’s sort of an overly complex Candy Land or Chutes and Ladders, spiced up with all sorts of competitive and cooperative mini-games, Mario still knows how to party. Players select a popular Nintendo character, then roll an on-screen die and move across a crazy 3-D board. Running down stairs is the most obvious goal, while collecting coins, winning mini-games and screwing over your competitors provide the fun. And that competition has always been the allure of “Mario Party.” When it’s played as a single-player game, the minigames remain routine, the game boards completely baffling and the somewhat random outcome frustrating. But put four players in the room, and the whole mess makes sense. As with any college drinking game you can think of, the real fun of “Mario Party” lies in hanging out, not in trying to accomplish a mindless task like bouncing a quarter into a cup. Jumping rope, driving go-karts, leaping across lava, shooting balloons and running races through obstacle courses quickly grow dull when you face nothing more than computer opponents. Add a living room that’s full of friends, and these simple activities turn into monumental challenges. For the past seven games, Nintendo has done little with the franchise beyond updating it for its

latest home console and throwing in a few extras to make it seem worth buying a sequel. For “MP8,” Mario turns up the volume on his party a little more. Taking advantage of the Wii’s motion controls, the minigames feel less repetitious than they have in the past. The task of cooperating with a partner to row a boat, with the controller rotating through the air as you attempt to synchronize your strokes, offers the kind of fun the Wii brings to life. This modicum of novelty, along with some spruced-up graphics, helps steer attention away from the increasingly bizarre nature of the “Party” series and Nintendo games in general. The game looks like the feverish dream Willy Wonka might have after eating a case of chocolate bars and washing them down with a gallon of Mountain Dew. Everything glistens in primary Pixy Stix hues, and the play sports an Alice in Wonderland upside-down logic. The
master of ceremonies looks like the Mad Hatter, gleefully jumping into games to update players on rules apparently designed to ensure no one can actually win through strategic play. And that’s “Mario Party”: less a game than a living-room curio. People don’t ponder “Mario”; they just get together and play. Who’s It For: The easy-to-use Wii controls fit the easy-to-play style of the game, which makes it the perfect party game for all ages.
Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each 9-box square contains all of the numbers one to nine.
Difficulty this week: HH H = Moderate HH = Challenging HHH = Hoo, boy!
If You Like This, Try That: “Marioware: Smooth Moves” provides wry wit and a broad selection of amusing mini-games designed for multiplayer fun. Best Part: Some of the mini-games allow players to use their Miis — cartoon characters that you can make on the Wii.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Surreal hope”
means having faith in a future opportunity that at first appears in an out-of-context situation. Say, for example, that you have an unsettling initial exposure to a stranger whom you will eventually realize is an important ally. Maybe when you see this person for the first time, he or she is looking dazed and disheveled on a street corner with tearstains on the cheek, having just broken up with a lover. And maybe you feel a strange attraction to this weirdo despite his or her unflattering appearance. Having surreal hope, in this instance, would mean that you’d refrain from being dismissive and judgmental, but would instead entertain the possibility that your fascination might portend an interesting link under more favorable circumstances at a later date.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Idealism
increases in direct proportion to one’s distance from the problem,” wrote English novelist John Galsworthy. In other words, most people find it easier to stick to their noble beliefs and neat theories when they don’t have to deal with the messy details of real life. I trust that you will be a stirring exception to this rule in the coming weeks, Taurus. Judging from the astrological omens, I predict that you’ll be a master of utopian pragmatism. As you penetrate further and further into the heart of every matter, you’ll come up with workable strategies for bringing out the best in people.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): For millions of
years, the great rivers of the world have flowed into seas — or at least they have up until now. Because of their overuse by humans, several ancient rivers are in danger of drying up before they reach their destinations. Among them are China’s Yellow River, the Tigris and Euphrates in the Middle East, and America’s Rio Grande. I offer this as a cautionary metaphor to consider as you contemplate your long-term future. There are things you can do in the next six weeks to ensure that the river of your life will always connect to a greater source. I suggest you make that a high priority. 5x5-charleseller060607
6/5/07
CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Quetzalcoatl
instructed the Aztecs to offer hyacinths and copal [a resin] to their idols instead of human flesh,” wrote Edward Dahlberg in his book The Sorrows of Priapus. Alas, the priests didn’t heed their god’s directive. Their predilection for ripping the hearts out of their sacrificial victims is infamous. Now I’m asking you to attend to a less dramatic but comparable matter, Cancerian. You have a prime opportunity to stop making an extreme sacrifice you’ve been doing for a long time. The gods no longer demand it of you; it serves no holy purpose; and there’s a milder and more useful sacrifice you can make instead.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The geography of
your heart is evolving. In places, coastlines are disappearing. Elsewhere, new islands have risen out of the sea. Boundaries are shifting, as some nations dissolve and others are born. Even the climate is changing, with warm winds blowing where once there was year-round chill, and monsoon-like conditions invading desert ecosystems. Roads that formerly led to the center of the action no longer do, and highways that used to be peripheral are now main routes. I suggest you take note of all this by redrawing your map, Leo. Get up to date with your heart’s new landscapes.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Dwight D.
Eisenhower was President of the United States for eight years after serving as Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe during World War II. Early in his career, however, he didn’t win many accolades. Referring to his mediocre stint as an undergraduate at the U.S. Military Academy, he said, “If anybody saw signs of greatness in me while at West Point, they kept it to themselves.” Keep his story in mind during the coming weeks, Virgo. You may have to summon an extra measure of self-motivation as you keep pushing towards your goal despite a lack of recognition or applause.

LIbRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In their
translation of a poem by Israeli poet Yehuda Amichai, Chana Bloch and Stephen Mitchell write, “I’m the chimp of chance, the champ of chance, I’m a chum of chance and a chump of chance.” Judging from your astrological omens, Libra, I suspect it’ll soon make sense for you to speak those words yourself. Dumb luck and blind fate will be swirling around you, whipping up both unexpected pleasures and knotty challenges. What can you do to be more of a champ and a chum of chance, and not so much of a chimp and a chump of chance? Welcome everything that happens, with no exceptions. Love the easy and the difficult, the playful and the contrived, the lucid and the confusing.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I suggest we title this chapter of your life story “The Perplexing Joy of Hundreds of Emotions,” or maybe “The Wild Peace of Way Too Many Feelings.” That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but it’s an apt reflection of your immediate future: extreme, expansive, melodramatic, spectacularly educational, and filthy rich with intrigue. You may not break the world’s record for most mood shifts in a good cause, but you could very well smash your own personal record.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Imagine what it feels like to rub your hand over the stubble that’s just beginning to spring from the skin you shaved. Visualize a single small purple flower jutting through the dry brown stalks lining the trail you’re hiking along. Remember a moment, after an argument with an ally, when the first tentative spark of reconciliation flowed between your eyes and his or hers. These are good metaphors for the kinds of experiences you should seek out, cultivate, and concentrate on in the coming week.
CAPRICORN
compose four more of a similar nature, then go out and actually do at least half of them. (1) On an empty milk carton, paste a collage of cut-out images and phrases that symbolize your anxieties. Then put it on the floor and stomp it to death as you growl. (2) Slap your own hand briskly ten times as you bark, “Stop being such a wuss!” (3) Everywhere you go, visualize yourself being accompanied by three great warriors who’re dedicated to your well being. (4) Gaze at a picture of a person who makes you nervous and yell “I’m not afraid of you, you mysterious slime-sucking bastard.”
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 18th-
century France, the public was sometimes invited to watch when the women of the king’s family gave birth. Can you imagine the modern-day equivalent? As the actresses and pop stars of Hollywood brought their babies into the world, TV news teams would be there on the scene, their cameras rolling. It’s probably not going to happen anytime soon (though be on the alert if you hear Paris Hilton is pregnant). But I suggest you seek out the nearest metaphorical equivalent in the coming week. You’ll really benefit from being in the presence of a primal, ecstatic, royal hatching.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the ancient
Gnostic Gospel of Philip, discovered in Egypt last century, the author writes of the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. In one place, he says, “Jesus often kissed Mary on the . . .” Unfortunately, there’s a hole in the original document right where that next word was. Did Jesus kiss her on the cheek? The mouth? The neck? Unless other versions of the old text are found, we’ll never know. On the other hand, I predict that you will soon solve a comparable mystery in your own love life. Some gap that has long mystified you will be filled in. A missing clue will turn up.
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ve gotten a little addicted to habits that are rooted in fear and worry. I suggest we resort to exotic measures to pry you out of your rut. After you read the proposed actions below,

film review
Knocked Up HHHH
W PRO CREATION Apatow’s big-screen brainchild may prove the season’s comic high point.
ho could have predicted that, in a summer swarming with swashbucklers, ogres and superheroes, the most entertaining movie character would be an overweight stoner played by Seth Rogen? He’s the best thing in writer-director Judd (The 40-Year-Old Virgin) Apatow’s latest, which is itself the best thing to happen to film comedy since Will Ferrell discovered tighty whities. Knocked Up offers the geek fairy tale of a twentysomething slacker who crosses paths with a major babe (Katherine Heigl) and gets luckier than he could have imagined. It all starts when Heigl, who works at the E! channel, is promoted from producer to on-air
talent. This follows, believe it or not, a funny-as-hell cameo by the last person I’d expect to be funny as hell — Ryan Seacrest. If Apatow can turn Seacrest into a big-screen gutbuster, imagine what he does with the rest of the cast. The young woman and her married sister (Leslie Mann, the real-life Mrs. Apatow) decide to celebrate the occasion with a girls’ night out at an L.A. club. Rogen buys them beers and chats them up. Mann is called home to deal with a looming chicken-pox crisis, leaving the odd couple unexpectedly paired. The potent cocktail of her good mood, his goofball charm and, well, lots of actual cocktails produces an otherwise mathematically impossible outcome. Heigl not only invites Rogen home, she’s so hot for his Pillsbury Dough Boy bod that she hustles him into her bed, where the two get their wires crossed and have condom-free sex. Plot-wise, you can pretty much guess the rest. Rogen continues with his daily routine of doing bong hits and planning the launch of a half-baked porn site with his equally arrested buds — until he gets the call that changes his life. Heigl decides to go through with the pregnancy, he decides to be there for her, and, for the next 90 minutes, the two navigate a journey from sex partners to life mates.
The picture’s greatness doesn’t lie in the premise or the story line, but in its many masterfully observed details. Knocked Up is 129 minutes long and composed almost entirely of genius throwaway moments. One instant classic is the scene in which Rogen’s character looks to his father for advice. Harold Ramis is the perfect choice to play the old man — whose words of wisdom aren’t too shabby, either. When the kid whines that this isn’t what he planned for his life, Ramis responds, “Life doesn’t care about our plans.” There isn’t space enough here to hint at the comic contributions of Rogen’s pothead roommates. A movie made about any one of them would be funnier than anything the National Lampoon franchise has produced in decades. Then there’s Heigl’s henpecked brother-in-law, played by a never-better Paul Rudd. The sequence in which he and Rogen bond while doing ’shrooms at a Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas is a hilarious string of non sequiturs. Kristen Wiig, who plays Heigl’s passive-aggressive supervisor at E!, is a trip unto herself. The list goes on, but, as I say, continuing it would leave no room to extol the pleasures of Apatow’s confidently laid-back direction, the script’s bounty of choice dialogue or the uniformly amusing performances from the film’s four central actors. Perhaps the picture’s most pleasant surprise, though, is its positive, life-affirming vibe. Without so much as a cliché or cornball moment, it manages to succeed as both a raunchfest and a celebration of responsibility. When he first gets the news, Rogen is convinced life as he knows it is over. By the time the closing credits roll, he understands the best by far is yet to come. RICK KISONAK
Mr. Brooks HH
I HIS NAME IS EARL And he struggles with an unusual addiction in this over-plotted, under-reasoned thriller.
n an episode of NBC’s hit sitcom “The Office,” buffoonish boss Michael Scott tried his hand at writing a screenplay. The result, called Threat Level: Midnight, featured a super-powered super-spy, a comic ethnic sidekick, karate chops on airplanes and the amorous ministrations of Catherine Zeta-Jones. If Michael Scott ever penned a serial killer thriller, it might look a lot like Mr. Brooks. This is a film that tries so hard to be “intense,” on so many different levels, that it’s intensely silly. To start with, there’s the eponymous anti-hero. He’s an upstanding businessman by day who hunts and kills innocent strangers by night — a psychopath so disturbed that it takes two ’80s movie stars to embody him. Kevin Costner plays Earl Brooks, who just wants to be a good family man, and attends 12-step meetings in an attempt to quash his urges to kill. William Hurt plays the urges, personified as “Marshall,” the inner demon who’s invisible to others but never far from Brooks, whispering naughty advice in his ear. Clearly, writers Bruce A. Evans (who also directs) and Raynold Gideon are trying to return some psychological complexity to a genre where serial killers increasingly seem like comic-book evil geniuses, invincible and inscrutable. But their script isn’t up to the task, and neither is the acting. Given his history of all-American-boy roles, Costner gets some points for being sinister. But all the actors who’ve shone as unassuming psychos, from Anthony Perkins to Kevin Spacey, have had a hint of something anarchic in their eyes — a chained animal, waiting for its moment. Costner just looks blank. He doesn’t convince us that Mr. Brooks hates and fears his dark side, either. Bickering over whom to kill and
how, Costner and Hurt resemble nothing so much as an old married couple — or two over-the-hill thespians camping it up in dinner theater. They seem to be having more fun than we are. The same can’t be said for Demi Moore, as the homicide detective on Brooks’ trail, who appears to be clenching her jaw hard enough to snap. Here’s where the movie really gets Michael Scott-like, as the writers strive to fold 10 hackneyed plots into one. Moore’s character boasts a vast personal fortune and chases killers strictly for the love of justice. She’s currently being pursued by another at-large psychopath,
who wants to punish her for putting him in the clink. As if that weren’t enough, Moore’s in the midst of a messy divorce from a hot younger guy. (Insert bad Ashton Kutcher joke here.) And . . . she has a bumbling ethnic sidekick. Really. Though the detective’s soap opera intersects with Mr. Brooks’ story, its real purpose seems to be to jack up the tension with scenes that involve mutilated corpses and pounding techno music. Other subplots are more integral, if not much more plausible. Comedian Dane Cook, sporting facial hair and an incipient double chin, plays Mr. Brooks’ would-be apprentice, a slacker who witnesses a murder and wants in on the fun. Then there’s the killer’s darling daughter (Danielle Panabaker), who returns home from college with news that she’s pregnant, and a darker secret. Evans has directed Costner and Panabaker to treat each other with an affection that seems, shall we say, more than familial, making this relationship one of the creepiest aspects of the film. The director’s so busy planting queasy suggestions of incest, though, that he fails to make any of these characters believable or sympathetic. Mr. Brooks’ victims, who inhabit the same glossy, expense-account world he does, remain mere mannequins. On a mechanical level, too, the plot fizzles, with an ending that seems to have been scripted by two conflicting test audiences. Though it tries to be both a cheesy thriller and a provocative character study, Mr. Brooks may leave you thinking even serial killers deserve better representation. MARGOT HARRISON

HOSTEL: PART II: Torture-pornmeister Eli Roth is back with a follow-up to his grisly 2006 hit — one that sounds suspiciously like a rip-off of Turistas.

Lauren German, Bijou Phillips and Heather Matarazzo star. (94 min, R. Essex, Majestic) OCEAN'S THIRTEEN: Steven Soderbergh and the boys return to Vegas in the third installment in the breezy series.

Bijou, Essex, Majestic, Marquis, Palace, Roxy, Stowe, Sunset, Welden) PARIS, JE T'AIME: Gus Van Sant, Alexander Payne, Wes Craven and the Coen brothers are just some of the 18 filmmakers behind this cinematic valentine to the City of Lights composed of occasionally intersecting vignettes.

Gérard Rubaud’s legendary loaves are back on the shelves gERARD RUbAUD
only about half that amount. But the fact that he can bake at all comes as a shock to his doctors, who didn’t believe he ever would. “Yeah, ‘the miracle patient,’ they called me,” Rubaud chuckles, then adds, “I think there are people more damaged than me doing as well. But I’m happy to have regained what I have regained.”
In his heyday, Rubaud used to churn out 1200 to 1300 loaves of pain levain — bread leavened with wild yeasts — each week.

érard Rubaud pulls a soccerball-sized piece of dough from a huge mechanical mixer and plops it on a countertop, then drops an upside-down bucket on top. Next, he shuffles across the floor of his Westford bakery, his right leg dragging slightly with each step, until he’s standing in front of a gigantic wood-fired oven. In French-accented English, the 66-year-old describes how he
builds up a fire in the evening — then, in the pre-dawn hours, rakes the glowing embers into the pit below for morning baking. As he laboriously closes the hefty metal doors and moves away from the oven, Jo-Jo, a Lab puppy with a beard of flour on his muzzle, prances precariously underfoot. While the mixer-to-oven routine is a familiar one for Rubaud — he’s been baking professionally since he was 13 1x4-7road years old — the slow, deliberate pace is

not. In March of 2004, Rubaud suffered a debilitating stroke. While he spent nine months in the hospital, his chewy, slightly sour bread quietly disappeared from the shelves of local grocery stores. Members of the Intervale Community Farm, who relied on it, stopped receiving the country-style staple. In his heyday, Rubaud used to churn out 1200 to 1300 loaves of pain levain — bread leavened with wild yeasts — each 5/26/05 1:02 PM Page 1 week. These days, he is able to produce
After extensive rehabilitation, during which he learned to walk again, Rubaud returned to baking on a very small scale in 2005. He made bread twice a week, but had to hire someone else to load the loaves into the oven. “I had one hand moving forward and one moving backwards . . . I lost coordination completely,” he recalls. “I had to relearn, like I had to relearn everything.” Rubaud managed to make enough loaves to supply ICF members with their weekly fix. This past January he stepped up the pace: Now his bread is back on the shelves at both Healthy Living and City Market. Because he doesn’t like the taste of >> 0 B

wheat bran, Rubaud’s signature loaf combines white flour with a blend of rye and spelt that he mills himself. “The bran from spelt, that’s delicious. It’s very nutty,� he says. “A good 15 percent of rye and spelt gives enough bite without creating a lot of acidity.� While some sourdough is tongue-tingling, Rubaud strives to make his more subtle and complex. “I am personally opposed to the real California sourdough, ’cause it is so powerful you can’t feel anything else,� he announces. “Bread is to be used to enhance the food, not overpower it.� He achieves this complexity by using two differ-

I did it because that was what would allow me to ski during the day.� Rubaud made the French national ski team, and, when his competitive career ended, in 1964, he took his racing expertise to ski maker Rossignol. Ten years later, the firm brought him to its then-North American headquarters in Williston. “I spent 22 years at Rossignol, and my dream was to be head of the U.S. operation and Canada,� Rubaud discloses, “but after four years of being president, I said, ‘I’d rather bake bread.’�

ent types of starters, a levain and a poolish: The first is fairly stiff, the second more liquid. With different levels of hydration, “you develop totally different acids,� declares Rubaud. He blends the levain with the poolish when he gives the dough its final mix. The result is nearly impossible to duplicate. Rubaud’s youthful forays into baking weren’t for the love of the dough. He was driven to

Auggie’s Out
Farmers Dinner Debut
And other restAurAnt news
BAsin hArBor eAts it up
Crazy about conch fritters? Hankering for a hurricane? Better get ’em soon. Adam Spell, owner of Auggie’s Island Grill, recently confirmed that the restaurant is closing for good on July 3. “We have a good thing going, but it’s taxing our social life and our family life,” says Spell. “It’s summertime, and we want to go out on the lake and watch Tball.” However, Spell and his wife Jill plan to keep
Satiny soufflés made of goat cheese, lobster and jalapeno were on the menu Monday at the Vermont Fresh Network’s first Farmers Dinner of the season, held at the Basin Harbor Club in Vergennes. So were grilled peaches with mascarpone and lavender-infused honey, as well as eight other dishes crafted from Vermont meats, cheeses and produce. The local sources were there: Rob Litch of Misty Knoll Farms, Michael Lee from Twig Farm, Kris Graham from Otter Creek Brewing and Sean Buchanan from Wood Creek Beef Farm took turns speaking briefly but passionately about Vermont ag. Chef Dave Fonte got a rousing round of applause at the end of the nearly-four-hour dinner. The next Farmers Dinner will be held on June 30 at Stowe’s Cliff House. You get there by gondola.
AUGGIE’S — and make improvements to — their Shelburne restaurant, La Villa Mediterranean Bistro and Pizzeria. What’ll end up in Auggie’s old spot, formerly the Bourbon Street Grill, which is nestled between H&R Block and Stone Soup? A new restaurant called Bueno y Sano, which means “good and healthy” en inglés. Owner Will Lowry, formerly a graphic designer, plans to open the Mexican-American venture on September 1, after “spiffing the space up a bit.” He modeled the new resto on an Amherst and Northampton duo owned by his brother: “We’ll have an open kitchen. And there will be a counter in the back where you’ll place and pick up your order.” They’re also removing the bar — “Whether or not we’ll have alcohol is yet to be determined,” adds Lowry. How will Bueno y Sano distinguish itself from New World Tortilla, Burlington’s other burrito joint? “I like their food,” Lowry declares, “but what we have to offer will be a nicer environment, a more central location and a bigger menu.” . . . Italian out, Italian in. Casual but elegant Cannon’s, an Italian restaurant in Burlington’s Ethan Allen Shopping Center, closed its doors last week and is for sale. Owners Dan and Susan Rogers took turns managing the place. Meanwhile, South Burlington is gaining a new restaurant called Pulcinella in the Dorset Street space occupied by the old Cork & Board. Sam Palmisano, who purchased the ill-fated 5 Spice Café just two months before a conflagration closed it, will be the chef. He has abandoned previous plans to re-open the Asian hot spot on lower Church. . . . Nothing goes better with BBQ than an ice-cold beer. Big Fatty’s BBQ on Burlington’s Main Street is now pouring Switchback and Pabst Blue Ribbon. Although it’s not normally paired with pulled pork, wine is on the way. . . . At Three Tomatoes Trattoria on Church Street, you can get 30 different vini by the glass, thanks to a “nitrogen-forced wine storage unit” purported to keep it fresh in the bottle longer. You can chow down on a wood-fired frittata and other traditional Italian items at the restaurant’s new weekend brunch, served from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. . . . As of Friday, Smokejacks will no longer be serving lunch Monday through Thursday. . . . Pho Dang Vietnamese Café opened last Saturday on Main Street in Winooski.

Crumbs The June issue of Esquire put B-town’s Three Needs on its list of the “Best Bars in America.” The author writes, “Makes sense that the cultural capital of beer-loving Vermont would be home to one of the best brew pubs in the country. For beer like this, you get past the fact that the coed bathroom’s door doesn’t lock.” . . . The teen rappers who made the popular “802” YouTube video will perform at the Taste of Montpelier event on June 12. The New York Times ran a story about the dudes on Saturday. Expect to nosh on goodies from Capitol Grounds, Uncle Mike’s Deli, The Manghis’ Bread, Coffee Corner, Restaurant Phoebe, Morse Farm and the Black Door Bistro . . . Portion control is a hot topic these days, motivating even some chain restaurants to experiment with smaller entrées. At a June 7 talk called “Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think,” Cornell researcher Brian Wansink explains how consumers “are tricked into overeating” by their surroundings. In this case, “the surroundings” are the Shelburne Farms Coach Barn. Nice . . . Jeff Roberts, author of the newly published The Atlas of American Artisan Cheese, will be the guest of honor at Mary’s JEFF ROBERTS Restaurant at the Inn at Baldwin Creek on Friday night. Expect plenty of cheese in the three-course dinner prepared by Chef Doug Mack. . . . Middlebury professor and syrup maker John Elder is at work on a cross-cultural tome about the effects of global warming on local food production, both in Vermont maple groves and down in the Louisiana bayou. On Saturday, he speaks at the Farm and Forest Forum at Applecheek Farm in Hyde Park, along with Tod Murphy of Farmers Diner and Kathleen Wanner of Vermont Woodlands. SUzANNE PODHAIzER

“Go Get Your Own!�
jUlIE RUBAUD
his daily bread << 0 B
flatbreads for family and friends. Still, when he returned to food, he didn’t start with baking as a professional venture. Instead, he opened GĂŠrard’s Haute Cuisine, a restaurant and food manufacturing business specializing in the sous-vide cooking technique, which was then practically unknown in America. Sous-vide, which literally means “under vacuum,â€? refers to the process of suction-sealing food in heavy-duty plastic bags. Although some items are not processed further — the vacuum alone changes their character — most are cooked delicately in hot water baths. The point is to lock in juices and flavor. It’s the gentler, gourmet version of “boil-in-a-bag.â€? These days, the sous-vide trend is on fire: Celeb chefs such as Thomas Keller, Charlie Trotter and JoĂŤl Robuchon vacuum-pack everything from foie gras to watermelon, and sell the results for exorbitant prices. But back in the 1980s, when Rubaud tried to introduce it, the United States wasn’t ready for sous-vide, even as home cooks embraced Uncle Ben’s instant rice and microwave dinners. “Basically, it was too early,â€? says Rubaud. “It was nice to be the first one to do it; that’s the glory, but you lose your shirt.â€? Rubaud made one last foray into the world of restaurants, a two-year stint at the Radisson Hotel eatery, then known as GĂŠrard’s at the Radisson. Finally, he decided it was time to make his dough by just making dough. As Rubaud puts it, “I’d rather do bread and live with the stones and the grass and the little birds.â€? He added a 50-ton brick-and-clay oven to his bakery and began the life’s work of perfecting his pain levain recipe. While many artisanal bakers offer a selection of French breads, such as baguettes, boules and brioche, Rubaud limits himself to one variety. “I’d better do one as good as I can than to do three mediocre. By doing one, it’s easier to find ways to improve on the bread,â€? he posits. “When you get two different doughs or three different doughs . . . it’s confusing — even for somebody without a stroke.â€? Rubaud’s bakery features an abundance of pale, hand-hewn wood, murals and a mountain view. As he explains his craft, to the strains of classical music from his radio, Jo-Jo struggles to ascend the platform on which his master’s chair rests. But he’s too small to climb up and can’t find the stairs on his own. Rubaud pulls himself to his feet so he can give the dog a gentle push in the right direction. He watches as Jo-Jo scrabbles helplessly at the step before gaining purchase and says, “You learn by doing. If you get kicked, you get kicked.â€?
Green Gene GĂŠrard isn’t the only Rubaud spicing up the local food scene. His daughter, Julie Rubaud, 37, runs Red Wagon Plants in Hinesburg. There, in four sizeable greenhouses, she and her staff grow over 320 organic varieties of herb, vegetable and flower seedlings for gardeners and culinary enthusiasts. They also do a wholesale business, supplying local garden centers and food co-ops. Growing your own seedlings may seem easy enough — open packet, put seeds in dirt, water and wait. But according to Rubaud, it’s not that simple: “It’s really hard to start good seedlings on a window sill. Then you put out leggy, yellow seedlings.â€? She explains that hearty, high-yield plants require a couple of specialized conditions: abundant overhead light, so plants grow straight and don’t become spindly; and lots of air circulation, to foster stocky stems and tough, insect-resistant “skin.â€? “Buying healthy seedlings is a form of season extension,â€? says Rubaud. Although she helped her father garden as a youngster, it took Rubaud a lot longer to get interested in farming. “I don’t think I was into it as a kid at all,â€? she says. “I don’t want to romanticize that. It was all forced labor.â€? Still, she sounds proud as she reminisces about her “very Frenchâ€? upbringing: “When we moved to Westford, my dad built a greenhouse with raised beds in it, and we had lettuce, we had sheep and capons and chickens for eggs . . . we had currants.â€? Though Rubaud may have grumbled over her chores, she learned that “the kitchen shapes the garden; the garden shapes what’s happening in the kitchen,â€? she says. Rubaud attended boarding school, working at her father’s restaurants during breaks, then matriculated at UVM where her mother taught French. She earned a B.A. in English and philosophy, with a concentration in “17th-century radical literature of the Revolution,â€? and was accepted to a philosophy graduate program in MontrĂŠal. That was when Rubaud decided to return to her roots and become a farmer. The catalysts? A part-time job at Digger’s Mirth in the Intervale and a cross-country road trip that took her to the lush organic gardens at U.C. Santa Cruz. Standing in a patch of tall red chard, with the ocean as a backdrop, Rubaud realized she “was in loveâ€? with agriculture and “couldn’t imagine doing anything else.â€? Rubaud stayed with Digger’s Mirth until 1999. That year, she and her former partner, Eric Rozendaal, went into business together as Eric & Julie’s. Rubaud grew and sold seedlings while Rozendaal grew veggies. In 2005, after the couple split, Rubaud founded Red Wagon. Rozendaal’s current Starksboro operation is Rockville Market Farm. Although many of the plant varieties she sells are considered “heirloom,â€? Rubaud isn’t hung up on the buzzword that denotes rediscovered, old-fashioned varieties. “It’s hard to say what’s an heirloom. It’s not like that’s a botanical term,â€? she explains. Rubaud prefers to grow varieties she refers to as “vegetables with stories,â€? such as “silver queenâ€? thyme, coral-colored “garden peachâ€? tomatoes and extra-sweet, French “Charentaisâ€? melons. Rubaud’s business thrives on helping people grow sublimely tasty food. “It’s so much easier to cook if you have these fresh things; you can take so little time in the kitchen. You just need olive oil, lemon juice and some salt,â€? she enthuses. “Fresh herbs make all the difference. Anyone who likes to cook should have a few pots of herbs outside their door or on a windowsill.â€?

That philosophy — along with his single-minded desire to craft the perfect loaf — hints at how Rubaud achieved his surprising recuperation. “At first, I decided that the wheelchair, I had to get rid of it,” he says. “I was able in just a few months to get out of it. You just have to believe that you will walk again, and you will recover, which I’m doing.” The recovery hasn’t come without setbacks. Rubaud has had two seizures since January, one just a couple of weeks ago. He shrugs them off, saying, “That is not uncommon.” As Rubaud tells it, his love for his work gave him the will power to push through the pain. “Baking definitely helped me get better . . . You have to be passionate about . . . a job, because there’s nothing else to give you justification to fight,” he says. “Bread was the ticket for me.” Baking also served as a form of physical therapy. “Doing bread, like doing any mechanically repetitive thing, you can measure how well or poorly you’re doing every day,” he explains. “So you have a checkpoint and you know where you are.” Even though Rubaud can no longer drive and spends almost

TASTE TEST Pho Dang Vietnamese Café, 215 Main Street, Winooski, VT. 655-0707. Open 7 days, 10:30 a.m. – 10 p.m. If the long lines at Tiny Thai are any indication, Winooski’s newest Asian eatery, Pho Dang Vietnamese Café, has a ready clientele in the space formerly occupied by Souza’s Burritos. On its first day of operation, a gaggle of young Vietnamese children run through the restaurant, laughing merrily as they try to lock one another — and the odd customer — out of the building. Clanging sounds emanate from the kitchen. The casual family atmosphere extends to the service. Our waiter, communicating with smiles and hand signals, brings over a pitcher of water and some glasses. Menus are splayed under the glass tabletop, and, as is traditional, chopsticks, forks and spoons sit in a container on the table, next to a red plastic basket that holds cruets of fish and chili sauces. The Cha Gio Imperial rolls come out quickly and hot, with crisp, golden-brown exteriors and a toothsome filling of seasoned ground pork. Spring rolls with shrimp and pork are a refreshing contrast, dominated by the cool flavors of lettuce and licorice-scented basil. The apps cost $3.50 apiece, and each one serves two. Pho, pronounced “fuh,” is a noodle-filled Northern Vietnamese soup that has become immensely popular in U.S. cities. Here it’s offered in seven different permutations. Nothing with heart or liver, however. “Soft tendon” is as exotic as the folks at Pho Dang are willing to go. All versions of the soup arrive with heaping plates of traditional mix-ins that allow diners to season dishes as they like: bean sprouts, lime wedges, chili paste, Thai basil and sawtooth herb or “culantro,” which is related to but not the same as cilantro. Another treat: small bowls of sweet and tangy pickled vegetables. The broth in an ample “small” bowl of Pho Tai Chin Nam, featuring a combo of rare beef and well-done flank steak, is both meaty and redolent of herbs. The sloppy and delicious rice noodles do an admirable job of soaking up the broth’s flavor, though slurping them with chopsticks ensures that soup will dribble down one’s chin at some point during the meal. Bun Bo Xao Xa Ot is equally delicious. It’s a fragrant stir-fry of beef, lemongrass and hot pepper over rice vermicelli. For the faint of heart or palate, there’s the plainer Bun Ga Nuong, grilled chicken served with noodles, or the Com Suon Nuong, grilled pork chop served with rice. The lingering funk of fish sauce hangs over the table as the plates are cleared and patrons ponder dessert or order super-sweet glasses of coffee blended with condensed milk. Che 3 Mau, or “three colors desert [sic], served cold,” is a must-try for the culinarily curious. The part-liquid refreshment comes in a tall glass filled to the brim with crushed ice and coconut milk. In the bottom of the glass are black and white beans — which taste surprisingly good soaked in the sweet, tropical liquid — and a layer of sweet bean paste. But plunge in a spoon, and you’ll find something that looks like it would be more at home in a horror film than in your mouth: a bunch of glistening, green-dyed, slug-shaped blobs, presumably made of harmless, gelatin-like agar-agar. Aside from these taste-free jiggly bits, the dessert is delightful. A city’s restaurant scene should reflect its citizenry — which, in the case of Winooski, has always been an ethnic medley. It’s about time pho found a place alongside pasta and pad thai. SUZANNE PODHAIZER

AND ALL THAT JAZZ
If you’re like me, a little jazz goes a long way. Don’t get me wrong, I love this time of year, largely because of the way live, buttery jazz melts over every nook and cranny of the city as if a concrete English muffin . . . I’ve really got to start eating before I write. Anyway, as the local guru for all things music — in theory anyway — I would be remiss if I didn’t point weary hep-cats and kittens in the direction of some alternative aural pleasure. Here they are, in no particular order. If you’ve enjoyed Jazz Fest’s bluesy fare, perhaps one of the myriad Big Joe Burrell tributes, you’re probably hungry for more — and maybe some smoked pig. You should swing by Big Fatty’s BBQ this Friday or Saturday night and check out local blues guitarist John Lackard. Despite central Vermont roots, the dude’s as authentic as the pulled pork smoking in Fatty’s kitchen. If you’re digging the Southern thing but need something mellow to unwind, Appalachian songstress Iris Dement might be your jug of moonshine. Drawing on traditional influences to create a beguiling blend of folk, blues and even rock, Dement has become one of the most revered songwriters of this, or any, era. She’ll transport you to a simpler time this Friday at the Higher Ground Ballroom, playing a seated show with local blues legend and Jazz Fest stalwart Paul Asbell. The following day, she’ll lend her tantalizing voice to the Roots on the River Festival in Bellows Falls. Actually, you might as well just camp out at Higher Ground all week. Its calendar is positively overflowing with incredible music. Also on Friday night, Vermont-bred but Brooklyn-based progressive indie-rockers The Urgency invade the Showcase Lounge before lacing up their skate shoes for the Vans Warped Tour. The band was also recently tapped as a finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Even with copious hallucinogens, I’m not sure Lennon would have written a scorcher like “Fingertips” — or how he’d feel about a songwriting contest bearing his name — but it’s quite an honor, and a rockin’ tune. Continuing on a theme, the Higher Ground Ballroom will rock like it’s 1989 on Sunday night as alt godfathers Dinosaur Jr. and Lou Barlow do the ever-popular reunion tour thing in support of Dino Jr.’s new album Beyond. If you grew up listening to altrock in the late 1980s or early 1990s and haven’t heard it, go to Pure Pop and buy it now. Come back and read the rest of this column when you’re done.

If Little New Jers — um, I mean, Williston Road isn’t your style, you could take a drive to the Good Times Café in Hinesburg this Thursday to check out legendary folk troubadour David Olney. The prolific songwriter’s work has been covered by a plethora of artists including Emmylou Harris, Del McCoury and Slaid Cleaves. His newest record, One Tough Town, is a rollicking affair borrowing from the vintage rockabilly, gritty blues and lonesome country sounds of a bygone era. While you’re at Pure Pop . . .
BOTTOMS UP New York rapper Mr. Cheeks is a busy man. In addition to a successful solo career after founding the iconic and tragically short-lived hip-hop group The Lost Boys, he is also a producer for the porn website OnionBooty.com . . . or so I’m told. I’ve never actually been to the site . . . er, let’s move on. The MC/booty-maven has somehow found the time to fit li’l ol’ Burlington into his busy schedule — in between MR. CHEEKS laying down dis tracks about 50 Cent and, you know, doing other stuff. Is it getting hot in here? Local hip-hop hell-raisers VT Union, S.I.N. & Lee, GTD (Burnt MD) and ADog will join Cheeks THE URGENCY this Tuesday at Club Metronome. I’m guessing milk and cookies will be provided. Oh, and porn. Lots of porn.
HEY ASSHOLE! Yeah, you with the stolen banjo. Do you see anyone else with a stolen banjo around here? Well then I must be talkin’ to you, you inbred, thieving sack of donkey shit. That’s just one of the many lines you could use — free of charge — if you encounter the pile of excrement that broke into Gordon Stone’s van last week in Norwalk, Connecticut, and stole his prized 1977 Stelling Bellflower banjo. In fact, it was probably a whole crew of lowlifes, since they also made off with a Fender Twin Head (circa 1972), an Easy Rider pack seat (with effects boxes, cables, sitar bar, etc.), and a 12-inch Weber speaker in a cream-colored Tolex-covered cabinet with an Oxblood Grill Cover and the word “Magnatone” across the front. Anyone with information regarding the incident can contact Stone at Gordon@gordonstone.com, and has my permission to kick the perpetrators square in the nuts.
I’M SORRY Last week, I ran a blurb about the Walt Whitman birthday celebration at Club Metronome. The show featured the poetic stylings of several local bands including Cccome?, Swale and Activists/Dictators. Note the “s” at the end of the word “Activists,” because apparently I didn’t. The following day I received this email from someone in the band: “Casey and Dan, you fucks. Activists is PLURAL. Activists/Dictators are all about EQUAL relationships between opposing forces. If the Activists part of the name were SINGULAR it would be an ADJECTIVE describing the Dictators and there would be no need for the /. Seriously, you’re good people but you NEVER get it right. Please come and rock out with us at the shows but don’t write about us anymore. Love/Hate, Yin/Yang, Life/Death, Create/Destroy, T. Well, “T.,” my face is red. I goofed. I would have responded personally but, curiously, the return address was blocked and I couldn’t. I know it’s unusual to respond to an email publicly, but as a writer, I understand how some typos cut deeper than others and I couldn’t stand the thought of not offering my sincerest apologies and taking full credit for the mistake. Casey Rea had nothing to do with it — he’s far too busy planning his evil escape. So, “T.” — who is certainly not Tom Lawson — I promise never to write about Activists/ Dictators again. However, can I still write about ¡The Pant!?

THU.07 << 11B
There are numerous ways to make it in the music biz. Some bands have nepotistic industry
connections; others just get lucky being in the right place at the right time. And of course, there’s the time-honored tradition of sleeping your way to a record deal — or does that fall under “getting lucky?” If all else fails, you can always try
Snowden’s approach and hit the road with indie luminaries such as Arcade Fire, Clap Your Hands, Say Yeah! and Kings of Leon. While they won’t be bringing the hipster haute monde with them, they will swing by the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this Sunday with Aberdeen City and local indie darlings Tell No One. Hot ticket, indeed.

DEANNA MOORE, ESCAPE
HORSE FEATHERS, WORDS ARE DEAD
(Self-released, CD)
(Lucky Madison Records, CD)
Female singer-songwriters are seemingly everywhere these days — from the soundtracks of popular TV shows to the coffeeshop just down the street. Vermont’s DeAnna Moore has had more experience than many young troubadours; she graduated from Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music with a degree in songwriting and performance, and has kicked around the super-competitive Austin, Texas, scene. Moore’s professionalism is evident on her debut CD, Escape, which features solid acoustic picking, excellent production and a strong sense of personal style. Even the packaging — including several wistful shots of Moore in smart attire — is top-notch. Her classical training serves her well throughout; she’s a fine guitarist, and the arrangements are well considered. Yet there’s something lacking in Moore’s romantic musings; when it comes to lyrical content, she has some growing to do. It’s not that she isn’t earnest — her emotive singing suggests these tunes are rooted in personal experience. It’s just that the poetic devices she uses to frame her tales of heartbreak are a little played out. “I am so naïve / How could I believe / That you were really beautiful / That you were really clean / And I’m feeling. . . fragile,” she sings on, you guessed it, “Fragile.” Call me jaded, but it reads like a couple of letters I saved from high school. Don’t tell my wife about those. Moore fares better on “Old Fashioned Love,” a sweet, country-tinged ballad about two potential paramours and their overprotective guardians. “ His momma’s lips curled as she remembered those stories / About the sassy little girl who rode motorcycles / She squeezed my cheeks and said, ‘You’re a pretty girl, but you’ve got a wild streak ten miles long / I don’t think you would be good enough for my son.’” Adding to the realism is the fact that the clash between protagonist and parent takes place outside a grocery store. But don’t worry — nobody gets whacked with a salami. Pretty much every song on Escape is a hushed confessional about love gone wrong. “Wish” is a sadsack ditty about hating oneself for not being able to shake the memory of a departed flame. Everyone’s been through it, but unless you’re currently there, it might not seem like anything more than another pretty ballad. Yet some tunes, such as the title track, evoke an honest desperation that goes beyond journal-entry venting. “I want to drink this day away / And tomorrow I want to do the same thing / How do you escape?” Moore sings. Later, she answers her own question, crooning, “I will write and write and write and write.” I certainly know what that’s like. Deanna Moore hasn’t re-invented the singer-songwriter wheel with Escape. But given a little more time in the trenches, she just might. CASEY REA-HUNTER
In the music-crit line of work, one listens to a lot of crap. Like, a lot. From basement recordings of some friend-of-afriend’s band that I’ve just gotta hear, to major-label schmucks that had to have blown a harem of industry heavies to get a record deal, I get it all. Truth be told, it’s exhausting. But every now and then, when the stars and planets align just so, an album like Words Are Dead, from the Portland, Oregon-based duo Horse Feathers, is dropped on my doorstep like a babe in swaddling shrink-wrap. And I rejoice. Combining Hem-esque chamber-folk with Nick Drake’s dour ruminations on life, love, sex and beauty, vocalist Justin Ringle and multi-instrumentalist Peter Broderick — formerly of indie-Americana darlings Norfolk & Western — have crafted a gorgeously affecting collection of intimately subtle, yet orchestrally dynamic odes to the fragility of the human condition. With a vocal delivery reminiscent of fellow Portland baNd M. Ward and David Gray, Ringle delivers lyrics that straddle the fine line between poetic and pretentious, without ever veering towards the latter, like Gray. Disciples of Iron & Wine will adore “Walking and Running,” and will likely weep through album closer “Mother’s Sick.” Those still mourning Elliott Smith may find solace in “Blood on Snow,” or the deceptively haunting “Eyes Full of Roses.” Every track on Words Are Dead contains moments of understated, elegant beauty. Employing a variety of instruments ranging from fiddle, mandolin and banjo to piano and bowed saw, Broderick frames his partner’s performance with delicately blithe arrangements that nearly contradict Ringle’s lachrymose musings. The contrast is remarkably effective and stunning. This is some pretty heavy stuff, and without Broderick’s instrumental balancing act, Ringle’s words could have fallen prey to their own funereal despondence, poetically mesmerizing or not. The ability to find beauty in sadness is a trait shared by the late Jeff Buckley and the aforementioned Drake. Like those artists, Horse Feathers have found a way to bring poignancy to their work that’s as uncommon as it is arresting. Here’s hoping these guys stick around a bit longer. If you prefer your melancholy minus the infinite sadness, get your mellow on at the newly minted Skinny Pancake at 60 Waterfront Place on Tuesday, June 19. DAN BOLLES

FREAKS & GEEKS :: Characterized by sonically mind-bending takes on traditional themes and structures, freak-folk has been something of a West Coast phenomenon. Born in the heady hills of San Francisco — presumably with a flower in its hair — the genre is finally making in-roads on the East Coast, and Devendra Banhart acolytes will want to acquaint themselves with Brooklyn’s
Akron/Family. The quartet trades in music of the schizophrenic,
Southern-tinged variety that ranges from swooning country-folk to distorted walls of noise to “backwoods” barbershop quartet — often in a single song. This Thursday, the band will be joined by local weird-out wizard Greg Davis and the all-female, experimental vocal collective Lexie Mountain Boys at Club Metronome.

character action Some people cut loose with karaoke. But Shakespeare? At this year’s Montréal Fringe Festival, Macbeth is a siren song to a man who’s not your average Joe. A retired history teacher with delusions of Olivier-like grandeur, Joe’s literally quite the character — a plaid-panted invention of Toronto-based actress Rachelle Elie. Elie has trained as a professional clown and studied character-based comedy with the same drama teacher as Sacha Baron Cohen, of Borat fame. With false teeth, a bad wig and audience participation, she unfolds Joe’s hilarious solo audition. Cross the border to catch JOE: The Perfect Man or one of 66 other risk-taking theatrical productions at the two-week Fringe Fest, where all tickets cost $9 or less. ‘JOE: The Perfect Man’

scene@ MONTPELIER FASHION SHOW STATE STREET, MONTPELIER, SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 12:30 P.M.
pHoTo: JEB WALLACE-BRoDEUR
I have never been to a fashion show, and the ones I’ve seen in movies required the audience to wear quasi-formal dress. But hey, this was the Montpelier Fashion Show. I was sure I wouldn’t need to break out the old bridesmaid dress — almost. I wandered over to the catwalk on State Street in my Birkenstocks and tank top, hoping I wasn’t underdressed for the soirée. My fears lessened when I took my place on the sidewalk amid the rest of the Birkenstock-and-tank-top contingent. The show kicked off with students of the Contemporary Dance and Fitness Studio doing a jazz number to Judy Garland’s “Get Happy.” Then, with DJ John from Buch Spieler Music spinning the tunes and Sarah Merritt and Emma Bay-Hanson of Damsels emceeing, the models took to the catwalk. First to display its wares was Onion River Sports. One of the models appeared to confuse the fashion show with Planet Rock as he lustily ripped off his “waterproof yet breathable” raincoat. A gentleman dressed to mountain bike in the Vermont hills came out “strutting down the runway in his protective headgear by Gyro.” After that, I settled in for the rest of the show with the assurance that my footwear was right at home. The hour-long event treated me to a fashion showcase of local stores, from Salaam to the newly opened Shaline Bridal and Formal Wear. Nothing compared to the flower fashions from the Pink Shutter. Dressed in gold lamé ribbon and strategically placed leaves, the sparkly painted male and female models were living proof that Pink Shutter employees can create anything from flowers. The 3-year-old Montpelier Fashion Week, a brainchild of the Damsels crew, was created to “announce to the world that this town is a shopping destination,” recalled Merritt. “Anyone that didn’t see it the first couple of years has regretted it, because people talk about it all year long,” Bay-Hanson added. Fashionistas, start gabbing. CARRIE CHANDLER

The Burlington Discover Jazz Festival is finally here! Check out the Jazz Mafia blog to see how it’s going: Eddie Palmieri Concert Comments I liked last night’s performance, but the longer you get to know me, there’s always a “but.� I was disappointed in some of the song selections. There was one song from a recording of twenty years ago. If your latest release has won you a Grammy, I can’t understand why you don’t promote that music by playing a ton of cuts from that release. Eddie — who will be 71 this coming December — confirms the theory that piano and fiddle players live a long and fruitful life. He still has the chops and is a gracious host on stage. As a fan of Latin music, I am familiar with many of the recordings that Conrad Herwig has been involved in. His musical feet are firmly planted in both the straight head world and in the Latin world. I was disappointed with his technique. It was almost like he was saying, “Oh, you liked that trick, just wait until my next solo and I’ll show you another one�. Nearing his 48th year and a recognized trombone player with big musical testicles, he doesn’t need to do this. I also had a problem with Orlando Vega’s cow bell. You could hear it next to Big Ben in London. Grade: Concert as a whole = B. Sound Engineer = F. In the middle of the second song, I inserted my ear plugs. You can laugh if you want to, but a wise performing musician told me many, many, many years ago, “Take care of your ears�. That’s why I can still do radio at my advanced age.
VERMONT ALL STATE JAZZ ENSEMBLE: I have stated it many times publicly and I will repeat that here — the best thing that has come out of the Flynn’s Educational Program and BDJF has been the reaching out to young people. How many of them will move on and become professional musicians doesn’t matter. These young people will eventually take our place and will be going to concerts for the rest of their lives and quite possibly influencing the following generation. I don’t know about you, but when I was their age, I was stealing my old man’s cigarettes, raiding his liquor cabinet and playing with myself on a daily basis. The nuns at school would say that masturbation would result in blindness. I’m currently wearing tri-focal eye glasses. When I was a high school student and contemplated getting involved with the school band (there was no jazz program in those days), my male friends would cast disparaging remarks about the sexual orientation of the male members of the band. I withdrew my interest. My mistake. I would like to mention the names of several students whose solos stood out for me. The blond Viking goddess (GRACE GAYLORD) who picked up her baritone sax like a pound bag of coffee and proceeded to show that she had some chops. PAUL BRANA received the largest ovation of the night for his trumpet solo and rightly so. MICHAEL HARDIN, who is a member of this Jazz Mafia Blog, showed that it was no mistake that this is the second consecutive year that he is part of the Vermont All Star Ensemble.
Michael is enrolling in Columbia University with a concentration in Political Science. I personally don’t think he is going to get much homework done, not with the NYC jazz scene. Posted June 2 by L.J. Palardy
Palmieri Concert Thoughts I have kind of a strange perspective on this particular event since I’m an insider, having played in the opening act of the show. I had an absolute blast playing the new Steinway — best instrument I’ve ever played, bar none — and Eddie was gracious enough to allow me to use it (Ahmad Jamal last year was not, and I was stuck on my piece of crap Prokeys 88). Something about the Flynn stage inspires great playing, and Paul Brana (first trumpet) in particular absolutely played his brains out. As for the main attraction, I agree with most of L. J.’s assessment but I have to say I enjoyed trombonist Conrad Herwig’s performance more than a lot of the people I’ve talked to. I think he’s a trombonist with great technical facility, solid ideas, and he’s a particularly good showman. He does play what we call “parlor tricks,� drawing from what is probably a canned vocabulary of fast runs and other acrobatics which are only there to impress and entertain, but there is certainly something to be said for the ability to connect with an audience, and it’s not something ev-
eryone can do. His towering presence onstage was a positive addition for me. Brian Lynch was definitely impressive as well, taking time to build his solos in intensity, though I would have liked to hear him push a little further outside harmonically. I feel compelled to mention the bassist as well, Luques Curtis. I got to see him play at Newport last summer with Christian Scott, a young trumpet player on his way up to superstardom. I’m kind of upset about missing out on Kenny Garrett last night, especially after all the great things I’ve heard. I’m also a little upset about missing Esperanza Spalding this coming Wednesday, but my sextet has a gig on the marketplace at 7 pm that night. At least I still have Chick and Bela... Posted June 3 by Michael Hardin
A Good Start Well, the first 2007 Discover Jazz weekend offered us solid jazz, not the soft something-or-other of some past openers. (That comes later in the week this time.) I too mightily enjoyed the All State Jazz Ensemble. L.J. has already cited the considerable contributions of Michael Hardin and Grace Gaylord, while the entire wellrehearsed group earned its applause. Let’s hope they continue a full musical career; we don’t need any more pastry chefs in Vermont... Posted June 4 by Lou Kannenstine

Graphic memoirs — illustrated autobiographies — are all the rage these days, and last year’s Fun Home, by Vermont cartoonist Alison Bechdel, led the way. The book traces the author’s complex relationship with her dad, whose covert homosexuality and ambiguous death ripple through the narrative. It’s also a work of black humor — as children, Bechdel and her brothers took shifts dusting caskets at a family-run funeral home. The 2006 book won a Lambda Literary Award last Friday for best lesbian memoir/biography. But just like Bechdel’s Dykes to Watch Out For strip, Fun Home resonates with readers outside the gay community, too: It hit top-tier literary lists worldwide, and made number one on Time Magazine’s “Ten Best Books of the Year.� This Tuesday, Bechdel discusses her work in person, with a nod to the drawing table.

THE NAkED TRUTH Burlington’s downtown denizens may get an eyeful this weekend, whether they want one or not. But it’s for a good cause, celebrated simultaneously in cities worldwide. Participants in the World Naked Bike Ride advertise the unadorned fact of humanity’s dependence on fossil fuels and car culture by casting clothes — and caution — to the wind. Bicyclists, bladers and skaters either go in the buff or as bare as they dare. Thanks to the protest’s inclusive mission, riders of creatively decorated vehicles can cater to their comfort levels by wearing anything from body paint to clothes or partial costumes. A caveat: It’s illegal to disrobe in public in Vermont, but not to be naked, so stripping down behind closed doors is a must. Global warming, anyone? World Naked Bike ride

Mistress
Maeve
Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust! Dear Mistress Maeve, My girlfriend is a virgin, and I have never taken anyone’s virginity. Even though we’ve never had intercourse, we’re very open and communicative about sex. Of course I want to make love to her, but I’ve kept it to myself in an effort to not pressure her. However, she recently told me that she wants to make love to me. I want it to be special for her — something she won’t regret after saving herself for so long. I know that it can hurt slightly when a woman first makes love. I have no idea what level of pain this is, and I’m kind of nervous about it. I would like to use a condom, but I’m also nervous about the latex and lube making it hurt more. I guess I’m mostly worried about her trusting me more than I could ever really know; I want to bear that trust without dropping the ball.
Thanks for any advice, The Virgin Virgin
Dear VV, Kudos to you for taking this situation seriously. A lesser man would simply do the deed, high-five his friends and look forward to the next conquest. When a woman manages to hold onto her virginity through her young adult life, it’s only fair that her first experience be a good one. As long as you truly care for this girl and see yourself staying with her well past this experience, I say go for it. However, if you’re not ready to take this relationship to the next level, do her a favor and keep her virginity intact. And please — wear a condom. Her virginity doesn’t ensure your health, so play it safe. Besides, a little latex and lube will help things along. As for the pain factor, it varies from woman to woman, from mild discomfort to blood and tearing — a lot depends on the size of your member. Go slowly, communicate and assure her you’ll stop if she feels uncomfortable. And keep in mind — this will not be your shining porno moment. No matter how open she is about sex, her first time should be more like The Notebook and less like Debbie Does Dallas.
With a cherry on top,
MM
