weeklypost The best of the Vermont blogosphere COMPILED BY CATHY RESMER

<letters>

Blog: BurlingtonPol

RACE COURSE Mr. Iacomacci succeeded in having his opinion published [“Letters,” March 21] and I have no doubt will succeed in earning many responses. Let this be the first.

“I am not a racist, whatever that means,” is my first and favorite comment. “Whatever that means” is hatred or intolerance of another race or other races, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior. It doesn’t have to be black people or white people but can refer to people of many descents, and goes both ways. The use of the word “racist” comes from people who embody a superior, intolerant or hateful attitude. Does that help you understand? In using the term “racism,” I hardly think that people in the North are deeming themselves better than anyone else. I am quite sure that no one in the North believes that the sweatshops run in Boston and New Haven were “better” treatment than those in the South. History cannot be erased or changed.

The future, on the other hand, is yet to be realized, and therefore we have full control over what we do and whether or not we repeat the mistakes of the past.

“I am a born and bred native of the great State of Connecticut,” is my second favorite statement. A New Englander displaced to the South.

I, too, was born in New England, and I lived in Alabama

http://www.burlingtonpol.com

NUMB GRAY SURRENDER I have to be honest with you people. The blogger in me has been smashed in the face by a tidal wave called “baby.” I’m basically BrundleFly-and-Telepod at this point. Spent. A freakish shell of the blogger that was. I don’t have a thing to say or a reason to say it.

I feel ten years older since baby “Yanna” arrived ten days ago. To make matters worse for BurlingtonPol, it’s, like, another eleven months until there’s another local election to make fun of.

Monday, I’ll head back to work. I haven’t shaved all week and there’s a shocking amount of gray in my beard. I can feel myself softening. I no longer feel the sharp resentment I used to for the city’s institutions — Fletcher Allen, UVM, even the Co-op. I’m too tired to fight. I always lose and nobody cares anyway.

I just want to raise my babies and die like every other living thing. The rest is just conversation.

BURLINGTON

SPEAKING OF FAITH Kevin Kelley interviewed me for his March 21 article on physicianassisted suicide. I found it amusing to be characterized as “emotionally charged,” “fundamentalist” and “Lutheran.” He apparently doesn’t know the ecclesiastical nuances that shout, “Those three don’t fit together!” Just ask Garrison Keillor.

Twenty-five percent of his article is about my religious beliefs and affiliations. Is that relevant to PAS? He doesn’t mention other affiliations which are relevant: Vermont Medical Society (coun-

cilor), Vermont Academy of Family Physicians (Family Doctor of the Year, 1989), American Medical Association (Award for Leadership in Ethics and Professionalism, 1999), California Medical Association (past chair of the Council on Ethical Affairs), American Society for Bioethics and Humanities (past VP), professor of bioethics at four universities, 2006 Scholar in Residence (ethics) in Oxford, UK. I don’t list these to toot my own horn, but merely to ask, “How on earth do you decide what is relevant?”

But, sadly, the answer seems clear. Mr. Kelley and Mr. Walters, whom he quotes, imply that a person of faith does not deserve a voice in public-policy discussions. I respectfully disagree. The Vermont Alliance for Ethical Healthcare is an organization with supporters from Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Islamic and Buddhist traditions, plus many non-religious secularists.

Our commonality is end-of-life care and physician-assisted suicide, not religion.

I saw Mr. Walters recently and asked him: “By the way, what is your religious persuasion?” His terse response was, “That’s my business.”

When I said, “You mean it’s not relevant to this issue?” he said, “That’s right!” Hmmm. Q.E.D. Robert Orr BURLINGTON

Orr is president of the Vermont Alliance for Ethical Healthcare.

“MY KNEE DOESN’T HURT ANYMORE WHEN I HIKE.” “If I had gotten nothing more from Rolfing, and I did, that alone would have been worth it.”

— Donna Bepler, Burlington

— the Deep South — for nearly five years. I was shocked to see that though black people are no longer enslaved, they are certainly considered inferior there. I lived with people of another race day-in and day-out in Alabama. And you know what came out of that?

Understanding of another’s culture and where they are coming from.

Now I live in Vermont. I still live with people of another race day-in and day-out. I chose to include, not isolate.

You’re entitled to your beliefs, Mr. Iacomacci. I am entitled to mine. But don’t try to say that “racism” doesn’t exist. That’s as blind a belief as the one that thought it OK to enslave another: North or South.

TO YOUR HEALTH In response to the article on restaurant sanitation inspections [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Clean,â&#x20AC;? March 7] â&#x20AC;&#x201D; perhaps a follow-up article on kitchen inspections (or lack thereof ) in the wholesale specialty foods industry in Vermont would be of interest to your readers.

Most people are probably unaware that many of these â&#x20AC;&#x153;cottage industriesâ&#x20AC;? selling baked goods and condiments such as cookies, pies and salsas are not required by law to be inspected annually (under $10,000

in sales per year: no inspection!).

Think about it . . .

Also, anyone wearing a watch while cooking your veggie burger back there in the restaurant kitchen?

How many points? What category?

And why? Food for thought.

CLEAR CHANNEL I was interested to read about the recent spiritual film festival on your website [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spiritual Film Fest Promises to Share The Secret with Viewers,â&#x20AC;? March 21]. I noticed that the main film featured at the

festival was The Secret, and just wanted to clarify a minor point made regarding the â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Thoughtâ&#x20AC;? movement. The article mentioned that Christian Science was part of this movement, and this incorrect confusion is understandable. The leaders of â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Thoughtâ&#x20AC;? studied Christian Science and took classes taught by Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Christian Science movement.

But New Thought differs from the practice of Christian Science in a few distinct ways.

First, while New Thought includes the principles of theosophy, transcendentalism, Eastern traditions and psychology, Christian Science is founded in Christianity, and the practice is based on the Bible and a book called Science and Health, With Key to the Scriptures, written by Mary Baker Eddy.

In addition, the principal belief of New Thought focuses on the human mind as a curative agent, whereas Christian Science practice involves quieting the human mind in order to hear the divine influence always speaking to our consciousness and therefore bringing healing.

The following from Science and Health illustrates the latter: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The human mind will sometime rise above all material and physical sense, exchanging it for spiritual perception,

and exchanging human concepts for the divine consciousness. Then man will recognize his God-given dominion and being.â&#x20AC;? For more information about the unique approach to spirituality and health as articulated in the practice of Christian Science, see www.spirituality.com.

HOT AIR The Douglas/Symington Catamount Health Plan is indeed worse than nothing, as Peter Freyne reminds us [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Track,â&#x20AC;? March 21]. Although it accomplishes nothing in reality, it allows politicians to believe that they have acted to solve one of the pressing issues of the day.

Unfortunately, Freyne refuses to see that industrial wind energy is a similar fraud. Wind has never been shown to reduce carbon emissions from burning other fuels on the grid. Its only usable product for utilities is the Enron-invented green tag. For investors, it is a lucrative tax shelter. For the environment, it is a destructive sham.

Sad to say, pro-business Jim Douglas is well ahead of many environmentalists for recognizing that giant wind turbines on mountain ridges are indeed worse than nothing.

L

ook, having lived through the historic, save-the-nation impeachment of Richard Nixon in the early 1970s and the salacious and ludicrous impeachment of Bill Clinton in the late 1990s, yours truly has no problem with lawmakers publicly discussing the absolute appropriateness of impeachment in the case of the current crew steering Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s course: President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney.

But why are Vermont Democrats, especially state party leaders in Montpeculiar, having such an awkward time dealing with it? This is Vermont, fer chrissakes. They should be hitting this one over the fence!

â&#x2DC;&#x2026;

â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;

Park, like Howard Dean of Park Avenue, became a Democrat later in life. She may Visit our website for current menu: want to duck impeachment talk in her www.paulinescafe.com House chamber, but Senate President pro tempore Peter Shumlin, the Democrat LUNCH who would run for governor in 2008, canDINNER not ignore it.

BRUNCH In fact, the Vermont Democratic Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1834 Shelburne Rd. So. Burlington 862-1081 state chairman, Ian Carleton of 2x5-designerscircle031407 3/12/07 3:50 PM Page 1 Burlington, noted that on Saturday at the Randolph state committee meeting, Sen. Shumlin had â&#x20AC;&#x153;come out on his 51st birth3/12/07 2:14:46 PM day to talk to the state committee about 2x5-paulines031407.indd 1 the impeachment issue.â&#x20AC;?

Shummy the Birthday Boy says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been advised the resolution must start in the House,â&#x20AC;? said Carleton. Incidentally, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sen. Shumlin (see photo), in the Statehouse lobby with Burlington developer Ernie Pomerleau prior to their recent Montpelier lunch date.

According to notes of the state committee meeting provided by Democratic Party officials, Shumlin was questioned on 52 Church Street, Burlington the matter by Across from Burlington Town Center committee rank802.864.4238 and-file and told M-Th 10-6, F 10-6, Sat 10-5 Closed Sun the gathering: The President Your Custom Design & Diamond Gallery â&#x20AC;˘ www.vermontjeweler.com deserves to have impeachment hearings. He lied about war, lied about why he was going there, lied

about 9/11 and Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involvement, lied at every level. He made America the laughing stock of the world. When I think about the sacrifice my dad made in WWII . . .

This president has bred and created more young terrorists who will threaten America...

If one can have impeachment hearings for an indiscretion, then one should be able to have impeachment hearings for a war that killed many Vermonters, Americans, Iraqis,

and others.

I sympathize with the Speaker of House: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen a legislature have to manage, lead and implement. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got so many things to do [long list]. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a citizen legislature and want to be out in May, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to do it all. I personally would like us to do it, but I am out of the loop with others on that.

Democratic House Speaker Gaye Symington of Jericho may be showing her Republican, Tuxedo Park, New York boarding-school roots with her absolute rejection of the notion the Democrat-heavy Vermont House has a moment to spare on J.R.H.15, a resolution calling for the impeachment of the most crooked president in American history.

Why? The grassroots of your current party have had it, Madame Speaker, with the past six years of corrupt, dishonest, one-party rule in the good olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; USA. And the grassroots in Vermont is overwhelmingly opposed to the Bush war in Iraq. They want out, Madame Speaker, and they want those responsible held responsible.

Is that asking too much? Is life really too short?

As Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy put it to a national audience and Bob Schieffer Sunday morning on CBS Newsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Face the Nationâ&#x20AC;?: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our founders devised this system of checks and balances.

tial candidates. More Hillary!

More Barack! More Whatshisname?

State Party Chairman Carleton told “Inside Track” this week he does support the impeachment resolution, “so I do hope they take it up and pass it,” he said, in reference to action being taken by the heavily Democrat-controlled legislature.

Asked why he, the party chairman, couldn’t guarantee it, the Burlington lawyer replied, “They’ve got a full plate this year and I don’t know if they’ll be able to get to it.”

Whatever you say, Mr. Chairman, but that kind of talk, according to notes from the Randolph meeting, did not sit well with all Democrats in attendance. Said one: We keep hearing that the legislature has “no time.” But every year we see photos of legislators playing cards, reading books, waiting for the big bills to come out. There’s no reason that time cannot be used to debate this resolution.

What is the harm? I see no harm in asking our legislators. It may not go anywhere, but how can we look ourselves in the mirror and see ourselves as people who did not do every single thing possible to stop this administration. I don’t want to be a “Good German.”

Good German?

If the shoe fits, eh?

P.S. Sen. Shumlin called us back Tuesday afternoon and reiterated the impeachment sentiments he delivered at Saturday’s Vermont Democratic Party state committee conclave. He’s fully behind the impeachment of President Bush, but “sympathetic to the Speaker’s view that we have our hands full.”

Shumlin said he is having legislative counsel research whether the impeachment resolution must first pass the House. But even if it could pass Shummy’s Senate first, the Windham County “Nose that Knows” said he wouldn’t take it up because he wants to be nice to Speaker Gaye and “not taunt the House.”

No wonder Jim Douglas is in charge, eh?

President Wright? — Monday night was Democrat Ian Carleton’s last meeting as president of the Burlington City Counsil. Busy guy. The 36-year-old attorney and father of two is also chairman of the state Democratic Party — see above. Future something-or-other. He told “Inside Track” that right now he needs to practice law and make some money for the growing family.

“Inside Track” has learned that if the election for Carleton’s successor were held today, the city council of the People’s Republic of Burlington, Vermont, would elect a Republican president.

That’s right, a Republican!

“I haven’t been elected yet,” said Republican City Councilor and State Rep. Kurt Wright (Ward-4), “but if the vote was held today, I have the votes to get elected.”

3x7-Fleming032807.indd 1

3/26/07 11:12:49 AM

But the Republicans, the party of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, only hold three of the 14 Burlington City Council seats.

Plus, this is not only hometown to Independent U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, but also to the national chairman of the Democratic Party himself, Howard Dean! How could city Democrats despise city Progressives so much that they’d let a Republican take over the steering wheel at their own hometown council?

Ah, but the old political divisions simply do not die in Burlington, do they? The animosity between the progressive left wing that follows in the footsteps of former Mayor Bernie Sanders and the old-guard-style Democratic Party of John F. Kennedy and Gordon Paquette lives on.

Here’s how the numbers break down. On the 14-member Burlington City Council, there are five Democrats, four Progressives, three Republicans and two Independents. It takes eight votes to win the council presidency.

Wright said if the vote were held today, he’d have “more than enough” votes, with support from Independents, too. In fact, said Ol’ Kwik Stop Kurt, unsuccessful GOP candidate for mayor in 1999, he’d be nominated by an Independent, whom he declined at this time to name.

Progressive Councilor Tim Ashe (Ward 3) also indicated he expects to put his name in the race for council prez. The 30year-old affordable-housing developer at Cathedral Square Corp. represents the next generation. We first met him when he was a young aide on Congressman Bernie Sanders’ staff. He tells “Inside Track” he’d bring “proactive leadership” to the city council. “I want it to be interesting again,” said Ashe.

Good point. In fact, it’s become so uninteresting that there was no Burlington Free Press or Ch. 3 rep in attendance at Monday night’s city council meeting.

Maybe Ashe should run for mayor?

At the moment, it doesn’t look like he’s got a chance at the council presidency.

Republican Wright told us that the day after Democratic Council President Carleton announced he’d be stepping down, Wright received a call from a Democrat he declined to name. Said he was asked a few questions — “general questions about how I’d run things” — and the next day the same Democrat called back and told him the Dems could support him.

Bingo!

With a Republican governor and what looks to be a new Republican city council president in our state’s largest city, George W. Bush might consider moving to Vermont when his White House days are done?

CBS Interviewer Katie Couric, who lost her husband to cancer a few years back, grilled them about hyping the cancer diagnosis as some kind of campaign tactic. Going for the sympathy vote or something?

The following day, we learn that Bush White House Press Secretary Tony Snow has been diagnosed as having a recurrence of his colon cancer. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll fight it.

Drugs are much better today than 10 or 15 years ago.

Senate Checks Out Health Impact of New Water Additive 2x2-CCTVCh17013107.indd 1

BY KEN PICARD

1/29/07 2:53:17 PM

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

MONTPELIER — Chittenden County lawmakers were asking the Vermont Department of Health and the Champlain Water District tough questions last week about a new chemical disinfectant being used in Vermont’s largest public water system.

Some residents claim the additive is making them sick and have asked state health officials to get more aggressive in investigating their complaints.

Last week, the Senate Committee on Health and Welfare heard two afternoons of testimo-

The Office of Court Administrator is soliciting proposals from individuals and/or firms to enter into a one year contract (July 1, 2007 - June 30, 2008) to provide mediation services to small claims litigants in the Superior Courts of Vermont. Proposals may be submitted for one or more counties or for the entire state. Total funds in the amount of $50,000 are available statewide.

Interested applicants should respond by submitting proposals by May 15, 2007 to:

The Office of Court Administrator 109 State Street, Montpelier, Vermont 05609-0701 Proposals should be specific as to the qualifications of the individuals who will be providing mediation services. The proposal should also include the name(s) of the county (counties) to be served and the funds needed for each county.

Concerned About Chloramines (PCAC). She told the committee that she no longer drinks, bathes in or cooks with her tap water because of the problems it causes her. Reno also said she and others have complained to CWD and the health department, but officials have been “dismissive” of their grievances.

In fact, VDH epidemiologist Dr. Bill Bress, in a letter to the editor in the November 1, 2006, issue of Seven Days, touted the safety of chloramines and accused Reno and her group of

I believe the Champlain Water District made a mistake with chloramines, and I don’t know why they’re digging in their heels and looking the other way.

“campaigning against the CWD.” But, as Reno testified, there are no epidemiologic studies addressing the potential adverse effects of chloramines on human health.

“I believe the CWD made a mistake with chloramines, and I don’t know why they’re digging in their heels and looking the other way,” Reno said. “I believe that if they were truly proactive, they would broaden their vision to include human suffering and the future health of Vermonters.”

CWD officials have said that chloramines are a preferable form of secondary disinfectant because they dissipate more slowly than chlorine. They say this is important in CWD’s vast distribution network, which serves 12 municipal water systems over an area of 70 square miles.

VDH officials told the committee they’ve received only about 40 complaints from the public about chloramines.

Acting Health Commissioner Sharon Moffatt told the committee Thursday that

2x4-Whim032807.indd 1

ny on the use of chloramines, a chemical additive that CWD first began putting in the water in April 2006. CWD is the first and only water system in Vermont to have switched to chloramines.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends chloramines as “the best available technology” for reducing disinfection byproducts, which can be dangerous to human health.

Since then, however, more than 130 residents have come forward with a range of health complaints — including burning and bloodshot eyes, skin rashes, difficulty breathing and chest pains — that they claim are caused by exposure to chloramines. Many of those people have also contacted Sen. Ginny Lyons (D–Chittenden) and Sen. Doug Racine (D–Chittenden), who chairs the committee and called the hearing.

Rebecca Reno of South Burlington is founder of the local citizens’ group, People

when her department first began receiving complaints, officials reached out to medical providers in Chittenden County. They never heard back about any unexplained ailments that might be attributable to chloramines exposure.

But Committee Chair Doug Racine (D–Chittenden) sounded skeptical. “I, for one, in my 16 years in this building, haven’t heard a single complaint about our water until this year,” he said. “It feels like something is going on.”

Senator Lyons said she believes they followed the letter of the law in assessing the consequences of using chloramines.

But she wants to be sure the decision was the right one. She also wants to determine whether, in the future, the state health department should have a more formal role in reviewing what gets added to water supplies.

“At some point you have to ask, What’s right for the state of Vermont, to maintain the very highest protection of our water quality?” Lyons said. “Beyond that, how do we ensure the public trust is there? If you lose public trust, you lose a great deal.”

Racine acknowledged the health department’s need to rely on conclusive research when assessing public-health threats.

However, he noted “a pattern of complacency” and a “passive approach” by the health department in response to such worries.

“When you’re dealing with public health, you ought to be taking these anecdotal concerns more seriously,” Racine added. “I just wish they’d done it six months ago without having to be pushed by a committee of the legislature.”

According to Racine, VDH and CWD officials agreed to “get very aggressive” in talking to people with water concerns. They will also ask that anyone who has visited a doctor because of a suspected reaction to water sign a privacy waiver, to help officials understand the causes of such problems. �

Nuke Busters Lace ’Em Up

Hdji] EVg` 9g^kZ

BY MIKE IVES

VERMONT — Anti-nuke activists have talked a lot of talk about the Vermont Yankee nuclear reactor since 1972. Now they’re taking it to the streets. On March 24, concerned citizens left Greenfield, Massachusetts, for a Gandhi-style march to Burlington — as in, on foot — in opposition to the relicensing of the Vernon facility. The 35-year-old reactor’s operating license will expire in 2012.

The week-long, 173-mile trek was organized by the Citizens Awareness Network (CAN), a Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, environmental advocacy organization, with support from the Leverett, Massachusetts, Nippon Zan Buddhist order. On each day of the journey, participants are stopping for potluck meals at

address that through prayer and peaceful action.”

Vermont Yankee, which is owned by the Louisiana-based Entergy Corporation, produces approximately one-third of Vermont’s power.

Residents of the state, along with those of Massachusetts and New Hampshire, are currently weighing the benefits of nuclear fuel — which doesn’t contribute to the greenhouse effect — against the Vernon plant’s associated health and security risks.

The nuclear power plant is one of 103 operating in the U.S. Like the other plants, it will soon exhaust its capacity for storing spent radioactive waste. A recent announcement by the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that the Yucca Mountain, Nevada, repository — where

— no relation to Chris — claims Vermont Yankee is “operating very reliably.” He adds, “The marchers have a right to make their opinion known. Hopefully they’ll have some good weather.” The Entergy spokesman notes that, with Vermont’s Hydro-Québec contract expiring in 2016 and the ongoing debate over wind-turbine construction polarizing voters, “Vermont should be open to looking at all energy sources.”

Robert Dostis (D-Waterbury) is chair of the House Natural Resources and Energy Committee and a sponsor of H.520, which would require 25 percent of Vermont’s energy to come from renewable sources by 2025. He calls the march “a wonderful opportunity” for citizens to voice

“I’m not a Buddhist, but I feel that [the walk] is a compelling practice for this age of danger,” says Hattie Nestel, the event’s head organizer. Nestel has lived at Nippon Zan’s “Peace Pagoda” monastery since 1995. She’s also participated in similar long-range actions in India, Germany and Nicaragua.

Nestel sees the walk as a tactic for raising awareness about the dangers posed by nuclear power in Vermont. “People are very dispirited,” she notes. “I’m trying to reinvigorate them by walking and fasting.”

Fellow walker Brother Toowbee, a monk of the Nippon Zan order, believes the connection between spirituality and political action makes sense. “We’re spiritual beings,” he asserts. “When policies endanger our lives, we can’t ignore that. We have to

Vermont Yankee’s overflow waste would be sent — will be completed by 2017 at the earliest. But an October 2006 report by 32 citizen groups, including the Sierra Club, the U.S. Public Interest Research Group and CAN, calls Yucca Mountain “unsafe for geologic or interim storage of nuclear waste” and says the waste disposal program “remains mired in bad science [and] mismanagement.”

In addition, notes Chris Williams, a CAN organizer and Hancock resident, Vermont Yankee poses immediate dangers to people living nearby. Williams, who likens the nuclear power and weapons industries to “a pair of conjoined twins,” has been arrested twice for demonstrating at Vermont Yankee, most recently in January. His group is demanding “more exacting radiological monitoring by an independent agency.”

their concerns. But he cautions, “There’s a lot of work our committee needs to do before we know if we’ll support relicensing or not.”

Dostis says no legislation before the Natural Resources and Energy committee directly addresses Vermont Yankee. He envisions that over the next two years, legislators will “consider what our options are, what the trade-offs are, where we go to meet our energy, and what resources will be acceptable . . .

We need to leave everything on the table.”

However, Chris Williams of CAN calls Dostis’ approach “a politically safe strategy.” Williams estimates that a 20-year license extension for Vermont Yankee would cost Vermont taxpayers at least $200 million — money that could be better spent researching renewable energy options, he insists. “If there’s no money, they’re not going to happen.” �

SAY “WELCH THIS!”

BURLINGTON — With his tattoos and cigarette, Andy Brooks seems like your average young soldier. Except for one thing: He doesn’t want to fight the government’s war. Brooks, a 20-year-old medic from Milwaukee, will deploy to Iraq this summer from Fort Drum military base in New York State. But on Saturday, he spoke to a 350-person crowd outside Burlington City Hall in support of an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.

“It’ll take more than this to end the war,” Brooks said afterward. “But it’s a start.”

Saturday’s rally, which took place a day after Peter Welch and his congressional Dems passed a legislatively schizophrenic troop-withdrawal-cum-military-spending bill, featured speeches by familiar peacesters: Drew Cameron, Matt Howard and Liam Madden of Iraq Veterans Against the War, Progressive Party Rep. David Zuckerman and International Socialist Organization rabble-rouser Tristan Aide.

The masses were in high spirits. David Smith, 67, of Greensboro, carried a sign reading, “George, you ignorant slut!” Becky Rabin, 42, of Burlington brought her 2-year-old daughter Cora along for an afternoon of dissent. And Burlington High sophomore Molly Fitzsimmons, 16, represented one of many young faces in the crowd.

After the rally, a group of student activists from UVM, St. Michael’s, Johnson State and Middlebury Colleges convened to plan the next phases of their respective antiwar campaigns. At the same time, 20-year-old Harris Bucklin led a group of anarcho-radicals in a 22-person “die-in” — plus dog — outside the Lakeside Avenue offices of General Dynamics. The Virginia-based military contractor, which received $10.5 billion last year in federal war bucks, manufactures euphemism-impaired products such as the “Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System.”

“General Dynamics knows that we are holding them accountable for this illegal, brutal and ever-worsening condition that is the current war in Iraq,” Bucklin cried. “Not many people are aware of what General Dynamics does, or even that they have manufacturing or engineering sites here in Burlington. This is why we chose to show up at their front door.”

(05 %&#5 MONTPELIER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fourteen cents may not seem like much when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re leaving a tip at a restaurant. But Amy Vetters says otherwise. Vetters, a 22-year-old student at Johnson State, has waited tables for years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; most recently at Friendlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and TGI Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Even a small wage increase is like any raise, she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it very often. But when you do, it lights up your day.â&#x20AC;?

In other parts of the country and the world, servers are more respected. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame that we still live in the dark ages.

NEWCOMB MUNT, TILLEYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CAFE

Under current law, Vermont servers who take in $30 a month in tips are guaranteed a minimum wage of $3.65 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a rate that has not increased since 2005.

The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general minimum wage is $7.53 and is indexed to inflation. If approved by the Vermont House, S.27 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which passed in the Senate 24-4 on March 21 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will also index the â&#x20AC;&#x153;tipped minimum wageâ&#x20AC;? to a cost-of-living adjustment, beginning next January, and will reclassify â&#x20AC;&#x153;tipped workersâ&#x20AC;? as servers who earn more than $120 per month in tips.

However, a third clause that would have immediately raised the tipped minimum wage by 14 cents was struck down at the 11th hour â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a decision that could exacerbate existing tensions between restaurant owners and their employees.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear how the bill would affect higher-wage workers. David Wolfe, 50, a server at the upscale Leunigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bistro and CafĂŠ in Burlington, comments, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This bill is not about the situation Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in. I care about it because I care about people who work in seasonal catering, chain restaurants and other places that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do as well.â&#x20AC;?

Justin Duwe, 23, a server at Smokejacks, takes a different view. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just because I work at a nice restaurant doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about money,â&#x20AC;? he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have an extra dollar or two an hour would make a difference.â&#x20AC;?

If Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tipped minimum wage had kept pace with inflation since 1990, it would now be $4.53.

Newcomb Munt, who recently opened Tilleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CafĂŠ in Burlington and is the son of former Senator Janet Munt, makes up this difference by paying his employees $5 per hour besides tips. Munt asserts, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In other parts of the country and the world, servers are more respected. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame that we still live in the dark ages.â&#x20AC;?

But Al Gobeille, who owns three Burlington restaurants, including the Shanty, calculates that servers there make $17.08 before taxes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you raise the tipped minimum wage,â&#x20AC;? he notes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it comes off my bottom line â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which hurts the other people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to pay.â&#x20AC;?

Gobeille, former chair of the Vermont Lodging and Restaurant Association and current board member of the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce, RESIDENTIAL points out that he already pays all his employees more than minimum wage. Plus, he says, fuel and liquor inspection will cost him an extra $17,000 this 2x4-negron120606.indd 1 year, to say nothing of impending fees for Catamount Health, which goes into effect April 1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If [the legislature] raised the tipped minimum wage a buck or two,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be in business in a year.â&#x20AC;?

Senators John Campbell (D-Windsor), Jim Condos (D-Chittenden) and Hinda Miller (D-Burlington) proposed eliminating the 14-cent raise from the bill. The Vermont Chamber of Commerce supported the move. 2x1-monkeyhouse030707.indd 1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fourteen cents is simply taking away from what the employers have available for wages overall,â&#x20AC;? says VCC President Duane Marsh, adding that it â&#x20AC;&#x153;will hurt back-of-the-house folks who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get tips.â&#x20AC;?

An existing â&#x20AC;&#x153;tip creditâ&#x20AC;? provision requires restaurateurs to pick up the slack if their servers make less than $7.53 per hour. But Miller â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whose committee did not take testimony from servers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mistake to â&#x20AC;&#x153;confuse the tipped minimum wage with [its] enforcement.â&#x20AC;?

Emma Mulvaney-Stanak is director of the Peace and Justice Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Livable Wage Campaign, which has been pushing for a stronger version of the bill.

She stresses that last year only four â&#x20AC;&#x153;tip-creditâ&#x20AC;? claims were processed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an indication that some Vermont restaurant owners are ignoring the law, she claims. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not all employers know that the rules exist,â&#x20AC;? she says, adding that servers can face discrimination for speaking out about wage violations.

The House will take up S.27 in the coming weeks.

The chamber had been working on its own tippedminimum bill, H.249, which includes a provision to raise the serversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rate to $4.65 beginning in 2008.

Rep. Rachel Weston (D-Burlington) is one of 24 co-sponsors of H.249. A former server herself, the 25-year-old rep suggests, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any increase to the tipped minimum wage is going to benefit Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy.â&#x20AC;?

Gobeille isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t convinced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t increase wages arbitrarily and think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have healthy small businesses,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of us [owners] are just trying to get by, just like our waitstaff.â&#x20AC;? ďż˝

Leahy Bill Would Give Artists Full Value for Donations

BY PAMELA POLSTON

It’s been a grim decade for arts funding, between federal and state cuts to arts organizations and a precipitous dip in private philanthropic donations. In an era of heartrending disasters from tsunamis, earthquakes and hurricanes, giving money to artists and other traditional nonprofits has perhaps been considered secondary.

The general public probably does not know that there’s also been a significant decline in donations of art from artists to the country’s museums — in large part because the feds removed financial incentives to do so, explains Alex Aldrich, executive director of the Vermont Arts Council. Artists can only claim, as tax deductions for their

individual artists in this small way, suggests Aldrich. Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy is an exception. In between rounds with the Bush administration as chair of the Senate Judiciary

It’s no surprise that Sen. Leahy, an avid photographer, has directed some of his righteous indignation toward an artistic iniquity. donations, the value of the physical materials used to create the artworks. Not the time, effort and skill that went into them. Not the price the artworks might have fetched if sold in a gallery — that is, “fair market value.”

Collectors, on the other hand, can claim the full value of artworks they donate.

Since Congress slashed funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, legislators have had little will for ameliorating the discrepancy and thus assisting

Committee, he has found time to advocate for a quiet little bill that would create the “ArtistMuseum Partnership Act.” S. 548 specifically reads: “To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide that a deduction equal to fair market value shall be allowed for charitable contributions of literary, musical, artistic, or scholarly compositions created by the donor.”

In fact, this bill or something close to it has been brought before the U.S. Senate for each of

the last five or six years, according to Aldrich. He credits Woodstock painter Peggy Kannenstine with originally “putting this in front of Leahy.”

It’s no surprise that the senator, an avid photographer, has directed some of his righteous indignation toward an artistic iniquity, but the rest of Vermont’s Congressional delegation has supported the cause as well. “For that purpose, our part is done,” says Aldrich. “Our job is to make sure it gets reintroduced year after year — it often takes up to 10 years to get a bill passed.”

(Georgia Democrat John Lewis has introduced a corollary bill in the House.)

S. 548 does not specify how the value of an artwork is to be assessed, or who would be qualified to make such an appraisal. If that seems like a glaring omission, Aldrich suggests it’s intentional: “That would confer undue power on whoever were named,” he explains. Instead, an individual artist sets the value of a work based on what he or she generally earns for similar pieces. If the IRS then later objects, it is up to the artist to justify the amount.

If the bill passes this year, it will be a relatively minor but nonetheless sweet victory for artists. Aldrich says he’s optimistic, and believes the legislation would open the door for artist donations to, say, auctions for nonprofit fundraisers.

Now, if the NEA and, closer to home, the Vermont Arts Council, can just get the budgets they’re asking for . . . Stay tuned. �

»vignettes Few locals need more confirmation that JDK — Jager Di Paola Kemp Design — is hip, nor stories about the Burlington company’s remarkable and well-deserved success. Still, it’s always nice to see an article by a New Yorker who’s in utter awe of a company from little ol’ Vermont. JDK knocked the socks off writer Mark Borden, as his article in the April issue of Fast Company reveals — just as principal Michael Jager blew giant Microsoft away with his “less Hulk, more Bruce Lee” design proposal for the Xbox 360.

Borden’s lead details that client coup, then fills in the obligatory company history, from JDK’s early, now-legendary design experiments with a nascent Vermont snowboard outfit called Burton, on through its current clout with clients from Magic Hat to Patagonia to, well, Microsoft. The story’s subhead is “The Striking Power of Michael Jager,” and the creative director cuts a suitably dashing figure in the accompanying photo. About the JDK crew the writer conjured this description: “a bizarro creative hit squad that helps clients zero in on their psychographic id.” Way to grow.

But that scrape apparently has not dampened his enthusiasm for doing good. In 2005 the Former Phish front man created a nonprofit called the Seven Below Fund, which donated funds to the Vermont Land Trust, advocates for the homeless, non-commercial local radio stations, and more.

Recently he established the Seven Below Arts Initiative and, in a partnership with Burlington

City Arts, is offering eight-week artist residencies — for three artists at a time — at The Barn, Anastasio’s studio near Westford. Once used exclusively for recording, the facility is now being retrofitted for visual artists by the first resident artist, Burlington sculptor Lars Fisk.

Residencies are open to artists at any stage working in any medium, but the opportunity seems ideal for those with a “rigorous body of work” who have not yet achieved commercial success, according to Anastasio’s website. Applications for the first residency period are due April 2. See www.treyanas tasio.com or www.burlingtoncityarts.com for applications or more info.

PAMELA POLSTON It’s hard enough to hawk a doc. But one about Ralph Nader — now that’s a tough sell. Henriette Mantel hopes viewers will give An Unreasonable Man a chance when her film opens this weekend at Merrill’s Roxy in Burlington. The Emmy Awardwinning Newfane native has been showing the film at festivals around the country — including Waitsfield’s Mountaintop Film Festival — and will be in Burlington to talk about the film Friday night. She shares directorial credit with childhood friend Steve Skrovan, formerly the executive producer of the television sit-com “Everybody Loves Raymond.”

Everybody doesn’t love Ralph, and An Unreasonable Man embraces that fundamental conflict. Nader critics such as the Nation’s Eric Alterman don’t hold back in the film. They blame him for stealing the 2000 election from Al Gore, and for all of Bush’s subsequent blundering: the Iraq war, the erosion of civil liberties, a conservative

Most struggling independent filmmakers wish they had an angel on their side — from heaven, or better still from Wall Street. In finance, the term refers to a startup investor, someone who bankrolls enterprises that have exhausted friends’ and family’s coffers but haven’t grown enough to attract venture capital. Since 2003, an Austrian-born financier named Thomas Trenker has been helping filmmakers meet their “angels” through his Institute for International Film Financing, based in San Francisco. This Saturday, he’ll do it in Stowe.

Trenker’s organization has already held “town hall meetings” in New York and various California cities with the aim of matching up cinematic creativity and capital. This is his first foray into New England. The event’s website promises a “powerful roster of speakers from the worlds of film and finance.” And who will hear them? Judging by the fairly steep entry fee and the language of the description, Trenker is looking for the money: “Entrepreneurs, technologists, attorneys, bankers, investment managers, venture capitalists and other non-film professionals are cordially invited to learn more about independent film,” the site says.

However, would-be Quentin Tarantinos won’t be turned away: “Established and aspiring filmmakers are, naturally, more than welcome to join us as well!”

There’s a reason for that somewhat guarded invite. In an interview, Trenker estimates that the actual ratio of filmmakers to fin-

He prefers not to specify indie films the IIFF has helped finance, saying credit should go solely to the individual investors. However, Trenker does talk about the types of film projects that make good investments — typically PG- or PG-13-rated movies made for less than $1 million.

ing Nader confronting a Boston cop who wouldn’t let him into the presidential debates.

An Unreasonable Man shows the two-party political system in a whole new light. More eye-opening, the first half of the film focuses on the work that led Nader to conclude he should be a candidate: His dogged efforts as a consumer advocate led to protections such as seat belts, air bags and the Clean Air and Freedom of Information acts. There was a time when every young idealist dreamt of joining his propeople, anti-corporate charge. Mantel was among them. She worked for Nader for about a year, fetching the mail and answering the phone. The experience prepared her for a career as a stand-up comedian, actress and writer. She played the wisecracking maid Alice in The Brady Bunch movie and wrote for such shows as “Win Ben Stein’s Money” and Michael Moore’s “The Awful Truth.”

Mantel hopes her movie shows Nader for who he is: all drive, no dirt. “There are a lot of skeptics,” she says. “With this movie a lot of people say, no, no, no . . . But once they get in the seats, they’re glad they’ve seen it.”

That pitch didn’t convince a New York magazine critic to attend a Manhattan screening. His response was: “‘Give my seat to a dead Iraqi or American GI,’” Mantel recalls. “But he ended up writing a great review. He’s still mad at Ralph, but he liked the movie.”

Mantel says she’d like to shoot a doc in Vermont one day, but hasn’t yet found the appropriate subject.

Bernie Sanders?

“There’s always Bernie,” she concedes with a chuckle. “People are mad at him, too.”

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Does her dress make me look fat?â&#x20AC;?

the straight dope

by CECIL ADAMS

all worthwhile human knowledge

Josh, you must be one charismatic hombre if you can get a female human being to associate with you once sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learned your idea of common sense is peeing on your feet. As for urineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medicinal properties, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put it this way: The most reputable scientific proponent of pee as a cure for athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot is Madonna (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letterman Show,â&#x20AC;? 1994). After that you start getting into some serious flakes.

Urine therapy in various forms has been around since time immemorial. As Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve discussed before, the stuff is usually pretty sterile and in most cases harmless. Gross though it may sound to normal folk, the oft-cited practice of irrigating battlefield wounds with urine isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t completely stupid â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if the other options are using water of dubious sterility or letting things fester, what the hell. The question is whether it makes any sense if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a choice of antibacterial or antifungal agents. Instinctive answer: Of course not, nitwit. Diplomatic answer: OK, delete the nitwit part. But Josh, honey bunny, the answer is still no.

Athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot (tinea pedis) is an irritating condition in which a fungus fond of warm, moist places sets up shop in between your toes. It can cause itching, cracking and red, scaly skin; sometimes large pieces of skin peel off, leading to secondary infections. To grow and breed, the fungus burrows into the upper layers of skin and feeds on the keratin that keeps your body germ-resistant and watertight. It also causes the basal skin cells to divide more rapidly, making the skin thick and scaly; in severe cases the fungus spreads to the nails, which thicken as well and turn yellow.

If you scratch or pick at the affected area, the fungus can travel to other parts of your body, in which case athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot can become athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pits or athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s groin. Because the fungus likes things warm and damp, it survives well in such places as gym showers and locker rooms, and can be easily contracted by walking or standing barefoot thereabouts.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking: That rat bastard fungus, I want to piss on its sorry ass. Steady, lad. Athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot can be hard to cure, so the best thing is to not get it in the first place. Wear flip-flops if you use a communal shower, wash your feet with soap, dry with a clean towel, and put on clean, dry footwear afterward â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the sweaty type, keep your feet dry with

Dear Cecil, My girlfriend and I have been battling recently over a medical question: Is there benefit to urinating while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the shower? I have long held as â&#x20AC;&#x153;common senseâ&#x20AC;? that peeing in the shower can actually tame (if not cure) common problems like athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot and other skin fungi.

My girlfriend thinks Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just into some weird fetish.

(Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because I have better aim while â&#x20AC;&#x153;curingâ&#x20AC;? my foot problems.) More than whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right, which theory is right?

frequent changes of socks and footwear that breathes.

If you get infected anyway, the standard over-thecounter treatment is one of those topical antifungal creams or powders you see advertised on TV. The problem with these is they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always penetrate deep enough to kill the fungus; in such cases the next line of attack is a prescription oral antifungal agent to attack the fungus from the inside. However, side effects of oral antifungal treatments include liver and heart problems, so try the topical kind first.

With athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot so tough to lose, you can see why some might give urine a whiz (har!), and in fairness thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a scrap of sense to the idea. The key 2x5(bw)-7Nmag.indd isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t urine itself but a compound in it called urea, which is also an inactive ingredient of many athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot treatments. Urea is used in skin preparations as an emollient (softener) and exfoliant (flake remover) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it goes after the thickened skin athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot produces, allowing the fungicide to penetrate and kill the fungus. In fact, because the compound can break down proteins, preparations containing up to 40 percent urea are available to treat nail fungus and even remove toenails nonsurgically, although they take days to work.

So why wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tinkling on your tootsies help with athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot? First, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough urea in urine to do much good â&#x20AC;&#x201D; typically only 2 to 2.5 percent.

Second, urea per se isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what attacks the athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot fungus; it mainly helps antifungals work. Finally, unless you stopper the tub and let your feet soak, any contact youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have in the shower would be brief. Again, chances are your quirky shower habits wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt anything, your social life possibly excepted, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll say this â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if anybody recommends a topical application of urine for another common dermatological problem, namely acne (think I kid? Googling â&#x20AC;&#x153;acne urineâ&#x20AC;? gets 1.1 million hits), give it a pass.

<OPINION>

Why March?

A lifelong antiwar protestor weighs the options

I STORY

JUDITH LEVINE

t should have been easy to get out of the house on Sunday, March 18 — the day before the fourth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq — for the first of a nationwide series of demonstrations to bring the troops home. The weather was clear and crisp in New York, where I was; most of the slush had dried up. My affinity group, Take Back the Future, was prepared to march. What could be better than a Sunday afternoon with my friends, chanting for peace?

The news was on our side. CNN polls that week showed support for the war at an all-time low: The number of Americans in favor had halved since 2003, while those strongly opposed doubled. Six in 10 believed Bush lied to get us into the war. Most people wanted Congress, not the president, to direct war policy.

The Democrats were pulling their caucus behind a withdrawal plan, in spite of a precarious majority in the Senate. And Bush was feeling the heat.

On Monday, he would go before the American people to “plea,” as the press universally described it, for patience.

His podium was set before a portrait of Teddy Roosevelt on a rearing steed. But on the front page of The New York Times Tuesday, Little George’s ink-dot eyes and wobbly-straight-line mouth made him look more like Charlie Brown on the pitcher’s mound than the Rough Rider on San Juan Hill. You could almost see a thought bubble blooming above his head, reading, “Sigh.”

And yet I didn’t feel like marching.

What good would it do? I thought.

Born in 1952, as the Korean War dragged on and the hydrogen bomb was being tested, I marched — or was pushed in my stroller — to Ban the Bomb. Vietnam followed close behind, then Cambodia, Desert Storm, Afghanistan — not to mention all the conflicts for which America supplied the arms and the advice and let the bodies of other nations fall.

As I laced up my walking shoes and filled my water bottle, I tried to bring a lifetime’s blur of peace marches into

focus. Still fresh in memory was February 15, 2003, when a half million poured into the streets of New York, the mounted police unable to corral us into “free-speech” pens. That Monday, I opened my email to a cascade of jpegs.

Along with us, 30 million people in 800 cities around the world had cried out, “No War in Iraq!”

A month later, after a Take Back meeting, we watched the bombs of Operation Shock and Awe falling on Baghdad. The TV screen was that now-familiar weird green of nighttime desert videotape; the explosions were silent. I remember thinking that to viewers tuning in after a gory evening of prime-time entertainment, it wouldn’t look so bad.

This time the demonstration was small, a couple thousand in New York, perhaps three times that in Washington.

After all, Iraq’s unremitting chaos has turned America against the war.

Marxists used to call this “heightening the contradictions,” a process by which the desired end — back then it was proletarian revolution — is supposedly hastened; in other words, worse is better.

I tend to think that worse is worse, but in this case it’s hard to say what’s worse and what’s better: Saddam’s totalitarian tyranny or today’s Hobbesian anarchy? A partitioned Iraq, each region suppressing women and freedom according to its own interpretation of scripture, or an endless, fruitless American occupation, the “long war”?

All are evils, some greater, some lesser.

Maybe I’m demoralized because I fear that the president is right. If we leave, we abandon Iraq to self-immolation. We may simply be betting, perversely, that if we stay, the same will happen: a bloodbath, only with

me that if we did not march, things would be even worse than they are.

Sometimes she complains, as I do, that the message is too complicated; the media images can’t sum it up. Sometimes, like now, I wonder if it’s too simple. Still, the message must be sent: No. We do not consent.

It’s the message a group of pacifists sent last week when they sat in at Congressman Peter Welch’s Burlington office, demanding that he oppose the Democrats’ bill to fund military operations in Iraq while imposing deadlines for withdrawal. These seasoned activists knew that the vote would be complicated for Welch. To oppose the bill would be to side not just with antiwar progressives but also with anti-withdrawal Republicans. The activists must have known, too, that immediate withdrawal could not pass the House, much less the Senate.

The message must be sent: No. We do not consent.

Some things had improved, notably the attitudes of New York’s Finest. One cop recited the route through a bullhorn as if he were a United for Peace & Justice marshal: “We march up Sixth to FiftySeventh. Then we turn right and go to Second Avenue . . .” At Fifty-Seventh, another officer cheered us on: “Only 11 blocks to go! Burn a hundred more calories!”

The evening news programs carried short clips of the events. The next day, the Times ran a tiny item in the Metro Section. And Bush reaffirmed his commitment to staying the course. If we pull out, he threatened, a “contagion of violence” will “engulf the whole region.”

Why march?

Some glimpse in the recent terrible news the signs of better news to come.

American blood and treasure in the mix. Calling for peace, tout court, the left appears to be as much in denial about the aftermath of our withdrawal as the Bush administration was about the aftermath of our invasion. We don’t want to admit that U.S. policymakers can do little more now than make of a monumental catastrophe a merely enormous one. The Iraqis know this better than anyone, and they are as confused as anyone: In an ABC-BBC poll, half said they oppose the occupiers’ presence in their country, but only 15 percent want us to pull out now.

So why did I march? The child of activists goes to peace marches as an adult raised Catholic goes to mass: ritually, whether she feels like it or not. My mother, who was there too, always told

Welch voted for it, and the protesters condemned him. But their message went deeper; its provenance and future are longer than this appropriation, even than this war. They were rejecting all the options on the table, because none was good enough.

What is to be done? It is not, in the end, the job of a protest placard to spell out a policy plan. So I carried my poster — Take Back the Future for Peace — and, alas, I will carry it again and again.

I marched, and not just because I’m afraid of what would happen if I didn’t.

I marched to tell the world that we must create more to choose from than greater and lesser evils. m Got a comment on this story or a suggestion for another one? Contact Judith at levine@sevendaysvt.com.

DOES THE QUEEN CITY’S NEW ARCHITECTURE MEASURE UP TO THE TOWN’S ROYAL REPUTATION?

BY KEN PICARD

“Burlington and Winooski 1920-2020: The Evolution of Our Built Environment,” Fleming Museum, UVM, Burlington.

Through June 24.

“John Anderson: Full-Scale Drawings,” Pine Street Art Works, Burlington.

Through March.

JOHN ANDERSON

Here’s a quick thought experiment for anyone who is familiar with Burlington’s built environment and has a strong sense of its visual aesthetics. Close your eyes and take an imaginary tour of the buildings and public spaces you pass on a regular basis. Which ones stand out as interesting, attractive, inspiring or unique?

Perhaps City Hall, the Unitarian Universalist Church, the Chittenden County Courthouse or the Masonic Lodge comes to mind. Traveling past the University of Vermont, you might note the Billings Library, Williams Hall, the Ira Allen Chapel or any of a half-dozen other historic structures on campus. If Art Deco is more your style, perhaps the Flynn Center or even the Oasis Diner makes the cut.

Would it surprise you to learn than none of those landmarks was built in the last 50 years?

Deservedly, Burlington has earned a reputation as one of the most livable cities in the United States. Church Street is an award-winning model for downtown pedestrian malls. The city’s waterfront, parks and neighborhoods are, by and large, safe, clean and well maintained. Many local businesses and institutions have embraced green-building practices. But when it comes to architecture, Burlington isn’t raking in many awards or showing up on the cover of Architectural Digest.

Burlington hosts plenty of public discussions on creating affordable housing, but not many on building houses that will still have aesthetic appeal in 200 years. The Queen City is home to Seventh Generation, which produces nontoxic household products, but we rarely discuss what the cityscape will look like in seven generations.

For a modern, progressive city with no shortage of worldliness or artistic energy, the Queen City’s contemporary architecture isn’t especially innovative or cutting-edge.

It’s fair to ask: What is Burlington building today that will be hailed as great architecture tomorrow?

A few among us dare to dream big. A special exhibition at the Fleming Museum, titled “Burlington and Winooski 19202020: The Evolution of Our Built Environment,” aims to illuminate the future by invoking the past. Through a combination of maps, photos, models and film archives, the show explores our triumphs and our catastrophes — natural and manmade — from the 1927 flood to the urban renewal of the 1960s, to the ECHO Center ribbon-cutting in 2003.

The exhibit also includes some wildly imaginative ideas — in particular, three decades’ worth of sketches and designs by Burlington architect John Anderson.

“Great architecture, like great art, gets you thinking about things in a new light,” Anderson says in a recent interview. “It evokes emotions, it challenges you, or it makes you angry. But it’s provocative and makes you react and see things in a new way.” According to Anderson, though, great architecture is something that’s missing from Burlington’s vision for its future.

Many Burlingtonians haven’t heard of Anderson, even though they may pass his work every day. His recent projects include the new Carrigan Wing for the Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences at UVM, which was completed in January 2006. The building’s rounded glass façade reveals an egg-shaped mural inside, which depicts the history of food, from the dawn of agriculture to the age of genetically modified organisms.

Anderson also designed the new Lake Champlain Chocolates warehouse and distribution center at 444 Pine

BACK TO THE FUTURE?

Street, which opened in September 2006. Like the Nutrition and Food Sciences Building, 444 Pine immediately suggests to passersby what’s happening inside. Its brown copper awnings mimic rectangular bars of chocolate and look good enough to eat.

The “SkyGate Murals” at Burlington International Airport are also Anderson creations. Each of the four murals covers the interior surface of a skylight and depicts a distinct, colorcoded theme: cosmology (blue), the world’s alphabets and notational systems (red), cultural pictographs and icons (green), and scientific diagrams and formulas (yellow).

However, Anderson may be best known for his designs that weren’t built — outlandish imaginings of a futuristic landscape. One, which can be seen in the Fleming exhibition, is a glass-covered mall running the length of Main Street between UVM and the lake. Inside, a gondola or ski lift would shuttle passengers up and down the hill yearround in climate-controlled comfort.

Another Anderson drawing portrays a hydroelectric dam on the Winooski River, complete with a community center, boardwalk, band shell and restaurant suspended beneath the I-89 bridge. Though that design was never realized, some of its features, such as the riverfront boardwalk, were eventually incorporated into the redesign of Winooski’s downtown.

Most famous of all are Anderson’s 1970s illustrations of a permanent dome covering the city of Winooski. Though he didn’t conceive that idea himself — Winooski’s thenCommunity Development Director Mark Tigan proposed it — Anderson drew the sketches that helped give it legs. The idea eventually sparked a dome symposium that was attended by

DAVIS CENTER AT UVM

Buckminster Fuller, inventor of the geodesic dome. It even caught the attention of Time magazine, which ran an article on the Winooski dome project in December 1979.

Anderson has no shortage of way-out visions. One of his series of sketches titled “waterfront fantasies” features a large chunk of movable land that disengages from the waterfront each morning and sails across Lake Champlain, barge-like, to Plattsburgh. Meanwhile, a similar “land barge” would sail from Plattsburgh to Burlington and dock in the same location as the first, fitting like a puzzle piece.

Outrageous? Unworkable? Maybe. But as Anderson explains, society needs creative thinkers who challenge the prevailing attitudes about what is possible. He likens architecture to high fashion, where runway models are often

At a panel discussion last Sunday at the Fleming Museum, held in conjunction with a current exhibit entitled “Burlington and Winooski 1920-2020: The Evolution of Our Built Environment,” panelist John Anderson suggested a “fix” to sprawling, unsustainable suburbs: more density. “Create little pockets of growth,” he suggested, “connected by mass transit.”

Anderson, a Burlington-based architect, contributed a number of visionary drawings and concepts to the museum’s far-reaching show examining the history of urban development in Vermont’s “twin cities.” The most provocative was his rendering of the dome over Winooski, an idea inspired by Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic designs that provoked both titters and semi-serious conversations more than a quarter-century ago.

At that time, the core of Winooski’s downtown was essentially a parking lot — the result of sweeping urban “renewal” that ran out of money after the bulldozers cleared it. This and a 27-acre tract in Burlington, also razed and then long abandoned, were the subjects of Sunday’s talk, and of two short films preceding it. The other panelists were former Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle; Vermont Law School professor of law Mark Mihaly; and Monica Farrington, who grew up in both Winooski and Burlington’s destroyed neighborhoods.

Elizabeth Humstone, former executive director of the Vermont Forum on Sprawl, moderated the panel.

dressed in weird, even freakish, outfits. Eventually, though, elements of those fashions trickle down to the racks of local department stores.

“I was trained at Yale to go out of the box, to think way out there,” says Anderson, 64. “If you start with the status quo and go out as far as you can, then all the forces at play — money, taste, angry neighbors — will rein that vision in.”

Anderson considers Burlington’s contemporary architecture conventional and provincial. It may be functional and serve the needs of its clients. But it doesn’t rock the boat or challenge the status quo. It’s an odd stagnation, he says, in a community where most other creative pursuits — music, visual arts, politics, software development — are pushing the envelope.

Reasons for Burlington’s architectural conservatism aren’t hard to find. Anderson explains that when he works with clients, whether on commercial or residential projects, there’s always a point at which they ask about resale value. Am I overbuilding for this neighborhood? Will this design rile up the neighbors? Will it get the green light from the powers-that-be?

“That tends to keep things in this pablum of mediocrity,” Anderson says. “It’s not bad. It’s just not inspiring.”

As a result, he says, we see buildings like those that have appeared in recent years along Battery Street and the waterfront — contemporary designs that offer a vague nod to the past but don’t take any risks. Or we see “country gentleman houses,” such as those in Charlotte, that look like everything else on the block because developers know the model sells.

Then there’s the new Davis Center under construction at UVM. As architectural landmarks go, Anderson suggests, this should be an important gateway building, not just for the university but for the entire city. In his opinion, though, it’s a missed opportunity.

Why? Anderson contends that the center’s design doesn’t echo or even relate to the flow of people and traffic that pass

The first film, by photographer and Winooski resident Dan Higgins, is a two-minute, time-lapse view of an old building’s destruction and the creation of the current traffic roundabout; the second, by filmmaker Patrick Farrington (son of Monica), details the fascinating, heartbreaking history of Burlington’s Champlain Street Urban Renewal Project of the late 1960s and ’70s. With old footage and interviews with former residents of the torn-down neighborhood — in the center of which now sits the Burlington Town Center mall — Farrington paints a picture of a real, old-fashioned community in which the residents all knew each other, and could walk to a neighborhood market, barber, auto repair shop, churches and schools. In short, exactly the kind of neighborhood many “new urbanists” advocate in the 21st century.

Though there were no tall buildings, both the Burlington and Winooski cores of yesteryear offered many aspects of what is now considered “good density” — a lively, pedestrian-friendly mix of residential, retail, restaurants and service providers. In many parts of both cities, that mix is now largely compromised by modern, often short-sighted, zoning laws.

With “2020” hindsight on the failures of previous urban renewal projects, the Fleming exhibit rightly suggests that those currently planning and developing Vermont’s towns should absorb the lessons of the past while preparing for the realities of the future.

P.P.

it all day and night. Nor does it welcome travelers or tell them they’ve “arrived somewhere special.”

Likewise, the Davis Center’s scale — that is, the appropriateness of its design to its size — makes the human observer feel insignificant, Anderson says. Instead of being an inviting structure, it’s big and imposing, forcing the eye to look around or beyond it.

Finally, Anderson suggests, a building in this critical spot should be an icon that reflects the 21st-century values and sensibilities of UVM’s student body and faculty. Instead, he says, it’s “formal and conservative, and suggests something very institutional and corporate.

“Colleges and universities around the country are building new and exciting buildings with name architects, and they’re doing it to help their identity move into the future,” he adds.

“And what did Vermont turn around and spend $60 million on? This thing that goes backwards in every way.”

ARCHITECTURE IS HIGHLY SUBJECTIVE.

One person’s monstrosity is another’s masterpiece. But is Anderson on to something? Do other members of the development community agree with his harsh critique of Burlington’s contemporary architecture?

Beth Humstone is co-curator of the Burlington and Winooski exhibit at the Fleming Museum and former executive director of the Vermont Forum on Sprawl. She now works as a design consultant and teaches planning at the University of Southern Maine.

Unlike Anderson, Humstone doesn’t have a problem with the size or scale of the Davis Center, especially given its goal of increasing density on the UVM campus. That said, she doesn’t think it’s the right building for the site.

“I don’t think the design is very interesting. It’s very mundane,” Humstone says. “That’s disappointing for such a prominent building, not to have something more exciting.”

Actually, Humstone is hard pressed to name many modern >> 26A

structures or public spaces she likes in the city — though Church Street, the ECHO Center, the new condos adjacent to the Hood Plant and the new Lake Champlain Chocolates building make her list. She also likes the new apartment building at Depot Street on the waterfront.

However, she thinks it doesn’t relate to anything around it and isn’t “part of the tissue of the urban area.”

The design elements of Burlington that really don’t work for Humstone are the empty spaces downtown. They include the parking lot next to the fire station and the gas station across the street, both of which are gateways to the city’s urban core.

For the same reason, Humstone isn’t happy with the new Subaru dealership building under construction at the corner of Shelburne Road and Flynn Avenue. That too, she says, is an important gateway — and a missed opportunity.

“It could have been a really great group of small, commercial buildings for the South End neighborhood,” she says. “Instead, it’s going to be a big parking lot. That’s disappointing.”

this and that, styles and materials put together to create a visual interest for people who have a soundbite attention span,” he adds. “It pretends to be this little house on the prairie, but it’s not. It’s this huge house on top of the hill.”

Lionni doesn’t see a lot of other modern architecture in Burlington that he likes or that reflects his values.

He’s not a fan of the ECHO Center or the new Lake and College Building on the waterfront. He calls the latter “a baronial fantasy made out of steel studs and sheetrock . . . which tries to mitigate its size by appearing to be a clump of smaller buildings.”

A few newer buildings in town do appeal to Lionni’s architectural tastes.

For instance, he likes the Living and Learning Center at UVM, which he calls “the only innovation that the university ever had the courage to do.” He also approves of the Hauke Family Campus Center at Champlain College, which he says “creates a space in there, one of the few places where that happens in Burlington.”

And he enjoys the design of St. Mark’s Church and rectory on North Avenue, which, he says, reflect the

cial and risk-averse — and he thinks he understands why.

“Is it that we don’t have creative developers? I don’t think that’s it. Is it that we don’t have good architects?

It’s definitely not that,” Ashe says.

“It’s what I call the ‘We’ll-havechange-over-my-dead-body’ crowd.”

Ashe believes developers go the safe route not necessarily because they or their clients are wedded to tradition, but because they know those designs are more likely to get approved and avoid costly and time-consuming litigation.

Burlington needs a more predictable design-review process, he says, one that “doesn’t scare the daylights out of developers.”

Like Humstone, Ashe thinks Burlington needs to embrace density downtown. That means building upward, he says. “If people believe in smart growth — and I think most people in Burlington do — then we have to accept that you’re not going to like every building. You have to be prepared to see one building you don’t like in order to see five that will blow your pants off.”

THE QUEEN CITY IS HOME TO SEVENTH GENERATION, WHICH PRODUCES NONTOXIC HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS, BUT RARELY DO WE DISCUSS WHAT THE CITYSCAPE WILL LOOK LIKE IN SEVEN GENERATIONS. Humstone is unequivocal about what she’d like to see more of in Burlington’s future — more “infill” — that is, building on previously developed or underutilized sites within the city rather than sprawling outward and consuming precious wilderness and farmland. As she points out, the Department of Planning and Zoning did a study on the potential for building up the urban core under current zoning ordinances. It found that the city could create 3 million square feet of new commercial space downtown without tearing down a single building.

“To me, that says there’s this tremendous potential that’s unrealized in this city for how we could grow,” Humstone says. “I’d like to see us take advantage of some of those opportunities and have more options where people can live and walk in downtown.”

VERY FEW PEOPLE THINK and write about Burlington architecture on a regular basis. Louis Mannie Lionni is one of them.

Lionni, a former architect from New York City, moved to Burlington in 1979. He’s now editor and publisher of 05401, a semiregular magazine about “architecture, planning, food and sex.”

Lionni, 74, is a self-described “grouch.” He has strong opinions about Burlington’s architecture, and he’s not afraid to express them. He readily acknowledges that “Ninetyeight percent of the people in Burlington would disagree with me, without being able to tell me why.”

That said, Lionni agrees with Anderson’s assessment of the Davis Center as a missed opportunity. He calls it “a faux-replica building on steroids.”

“It seems to be a collection of

innovations that were shaping the Catholic Church in the 1960s.

Lionni says it’s no secret why Burlington architects are risk averse: They have a conservative clientele.

“The people who pay for architectural services — the developers — don’t have architectural ambitions.

They have financial ambitions.”

The problem is that architecture has become too commercialized, Lionni suggests. “When I was a young architect, I’d spend 10 percent of my time looking for work and 90 percent of my time working,” he says. “Now, architects spend 90 percent of their time looking for work and 10 percent working.”

Lionni doesn’t dispute Anderson’s assessment that Burlington architecture is provincial. But he disagrees with the claim that it’s at least functional. “I’m 74, and there’s a good chance I’ll spend 20 years not being able to drive,” he says. “Based on current life spans . . . there’s a good chance that you’ll have people living here for 40 years and not being able to drive. This is not a good city if you don’t drive.”

Lionni would like to see future designs that make the city more “humane and accessible” — more park benches, pocket parks, outdoor artwork and recreational spots. He points to Paris’ pedestrian culture as a model for Burlington to emulate.

“For me, it’s a fabulous city. There’s a toilet on almost every corner,” he says, only partly in jest. “People there have been trying to figure out where to sit outside for a thousand years, so there are places for it.”

CITY COUNCILOR TIM ASHE (P–Ward 3) serves on the Community Development and Neighborhood Revitalization Committee. He also sees Burlington architecture as provin-

He points to the Hood Plant condos as an example of a stylish, urban design that respects its past while also looking forward. And, he adds, it demonstrates that “tall and dense can be good dance partners.”

FOR ALL HIS VISIONARY thinking, Anderson admits that public consciousness raising is “not where my head is at these days.”

He’s still involved in architecture, though he’s scaling back that work to focus on smaller-scale art. Until last year, Anderson was on the Vermont board of the American Institute of Architecture, where he created a design competition open to all Vermont architects. It wasn’t about winning projects but about “how far out we can go with our design thinking.” Anderson has also been involved in discussions about adding a new criterion to the city’s design-review process, one that rewards developers who come forward with artistic and innovative concepts.

Finally, he’s working to inspire the next generation at the Yestermorrow Design/Build School om Warren, where he’s helping young people develop an appreciation of their physical environment. Considering how important architecture is in our daily lives, Anderson says, most of us lack even a basic vocabulary for discussing or critiquing it.

Do we need one? Do our buildings really shape the way we live?

Anderson thinks so. “We probably spend 80 percent of our lives inside architectural spaces, and most of them are pretty boring,” he says. “If you spend 80 percent of your life inside uninspired, conventional spaces that are almost always a box of some sort, what’s that going to do for your sensibility?” �

BOOK REVIEW: VISUALIZING DENSITY BY JULIE CAMPOLI AND ALEX S. MACLEAN

BY PAMELA POLSTON

WHAT WILL THE BURLINGTON OF THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE?

Will it have more tall buildings? How will it fill in the currently empty lots sprinkled around the city? Will it successfully integrate the preservation of historic structures with the construction of new ones? Will it be able to accommodate, say, 30,000 more residents? Or will newcomers find no place in Vermont’s largest city and instead sprawl farther and farther across formerly bucolic countryside?

A new book co-authored by Julie Campoli, a Burlington-based landscape architect and site planner, has some answers — or at least guidelines. Visualizing Density does not address Burlington, or Vermont, per se. But, with several hundred images and accessible prose, it presents a compelling case for precisely understanding that urban buzzword: density. And it makes clear that, with 100 million more Americans expected by 2050, the country’s cities and rural areas alike need to gear up for smart growth, a.k.a. good density.

Visualizing Density by Julie Campoli & Alex S. MacLean, Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, 152 pages. $39.95. www.lincolninst.edu www.terrafirmaurbandesign.com

At first glance, Visualizing Density looks like one of those Earth-as-seen-from-above books that simply display the patterns found in nature and generated by living organisms.

A closer inspection reveals that this 152-page paperback is more pointed — it’s all about how human environments, particularly housing settlements, are laid out in the U.S. Even before reading the text, one can glean from the pictures a story that is occasionally inspiring (well-designed urban density) and often alarming (profligate land use and wasted resources). Visualizing Density is generously illustrated with color photographs, shot by architect/aerial photographer Alex MacLean

of Boston. They display urban and suburban neighborhoods across America — tightly packed or sprawling, horizontal or vertical, with every conceivable arrangement of streets.

And “streets” is a key word in this book, as most of the communities depicted are utterly car-dependent.

Campoli and MacLean help their readers — whether city planners or developers, architects or students, or simply curious citizens — do just as the title suggests: See what density, good and bad, looks like. “We started this project because we found people were talking a lot about density but without actual visual images,” Campoli says in an interview, adding that opponents often think density means “these terrible housing projects . . . It’s all about trying to avoid making the mistakes.”

Visualizing Density emerged from a five-year collaboration that has also resulted in a classroom course and a resource-rich website for the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy in Cambridge, Massachusetts. As an instructor for the institute and principal of Burlington’s Terra Firma Urban Design, Campoli gives lectures around the country on sprawl, density, smart growth and site planning. She is also a former member of Burlington’s Development Review Board. In 2001, Campoli penned Above and Beyond with Elizabeth Humstone, then executive director of the Vermont Forum on Sprawl; in that book, the authors used MacLean’s aerial photos to examine how and why landscapes change over time. As human population is a dominant factor in that change, Visualizing Density was a logical follow-up.

Campoli addresses the import of this growth in an early passage: To anyone even remotely interested in how we shelter ourselves and how we use land, the U.S. Census of 2000 revealed a startling fact: After dipping slightly in the past 50 years, our population growth rate has turned sharply upward. Between 1960 and 1989 it ranged from 22 to 24 million people added per decade.

In the 1990s, however, we grew by 33 million.

Each year, we add about 4.7 million people. At this rate, by 2030 we will be a nation of roughly 350 million. While the pace of population growth has accelerated, another fact remains constant — we have, and always will have, the same amount of land.

Where and how we build housing for all these people is the chief concern of Visualizing Density. Campoli notes that since the end of World War II, we have been growing out, converting former farmlands, forests and deserts into suburbs. And we have spread fewer people across each square mile, rapaciously con-

suming more land. MacLean’s photos of communities such as Buckeye, Arizona, illustrate this point. Again, residents of such areas must drive everywhere in their own automobiles.

Alongside the excessive use of dwindling fossil fuels, Campoli asks us to consider that “lowdensity development leads to higher public and private development costs as well” — such as “sewer, water, roads, electric and other infrastructure elements.” Bigger picture: Consider the declining water table and the degradation of soil and air.

While thoughtless growth has resulted in a somewhat grim prospect for human habitation in the U.S., Campoli and MacLean offer some reasons for optimism, as well:

their suburban and rural neighbors. People drive less where densities are high, streets are interconnected, and jobs are interspersed with housing.”

So why do people tend to hate or fear the idea of density? Campoli concedes that there have been examples of bad dense development, but she argues that most opposition is based on misconceptions — and on failure to grasp what good density can and should look like. One impression she feels people need to overcome is that density means crowding. In fact, “places can be very dense, but may not be perceived as overcrowded if they are designed to comfortably accommodate many people,” Campoli writes.

WHILE THOUGHTLESS GROWTH HAS RESULTED IN A SOMEWHAT GRIM PROSPECT FOR HUMAN HABITATION IN THE U.S., CAMPOLI AND MACLEAN OFFER SOME REASONS FOR OPTIMISM, AS WELL. [In the 1990s] some cities in the West grew in rather than out. People returned to the central cores of a few cities. The market for multifamily homes grew. The movement toward greater density is mostly evident in the West, where land costs are high or water is scarce.

Although this countertrend was minor in relation to the amount of sprawl overall, it may well point to a future direction.

Downtowns in Chicago, Denver, Seattle and Houston, among other cities, have grown in density over the past decade or so. Even sprawling Phoenix increased from 2228 people per square mile in the 1970s to 2707 in the 1990s, Campoli notes. Demographic trends such as aging baby boomers and increasing numbers of young singles and immigrants point to a growing demand for urban, multi-family, pedestrian-friendly housing areas. New markets for density have emerged in places such as Washington, D.C., where multi-family housing is on the rise — in both senses of the word.

And denser urban areas are actually more environmentally friendly than sprawling ones by “most significant measures,” Campoli writes. “City dwellers use fewer energy resources and generate less pollution than

She identifies two other, possibly more recalcitrant, obstacles to smart growth. One is the need for regional — not just town or city — planning; the other is the need for what Campoli calls “a major shift in our thinking about how we get around.” That is, transportation planning. In New England, Campoli says, a strong tradition of local control creates situations where adjacent towns may not talk to each other — and may even compete for business and residential growth. “We, on the Development Review Board, talked about how we could get together with South Burlington and other communities, but there was never time for that,” she laments. “It’s a dysfunctional system.”

For Campoli, good density starts with good design. And that, she stresses, cannot be regulated. “What makes wonderful design happen is really talented architects,” she suggests. “Especially with density, you have to design buildings very well, and have good site design . . . When architects have been allowed to build good buildings and developers have supported them, that’s the seed,” Campoli concludes. “You have to get something good started, and raise the bar up.” m

Basket Case In search of Vermont hoops hoopla

B

ernie Sanders and I were chatting in the lobby of UVM’s Patrick Gym on March 10 when a deranged SUNY Albany fan — painted face, fake hair, primal roar — stormed past. It was STORY halftime at the America East champiMIKE onship game, and our hometown IVES Catamounts trailed, 27-22.

“That guy must be crazy, huh, IMAGE Bernie?” I said to my freshman senaMATTHEW tor. “Looks like he caught the March THORSEN Madness bug.” But I didn’t mention to Sanders that I myself had caught it.

Over the next 10 days, I would speak with many of the leading figures in Vermont basketball in an effort to figure out what and who was behind the state’s basketball obsession — or lack thereof. By any calculation, I’d picked the right time of year: Between UVM’s NCAA trials, high school playoffs and ABA action in Barre, there would be plenty of hoops to go nuts over.

Bernie, however, looked at me distractedly. Home from D.C. for the weekend, he seemed to have other, less important, things on his mind — global warming? Iraq? Plus, he and his son Levi were bonding.

“Oh, and incidentally, Senator Sanders,” I said, “I didn’t know you were a fan.”

“Sure I am,” Bernie answered. “It’s an exciting turnout today — nice to see the team get so much support.”

“How’s your dad as a player, though?” I whispered to his offspring.

“Is he all talk, or what?”

“No way,” said Levi Sanders, a legal advocate and part-time baller.

“You should see Dad’s jump hook.”

He flashed me a knowing grin.

I was in for a week of surprises.

For one thing, number two Albany upset the top-seeded Catamounts in a nail-biter, 60-59. Then, on Wednesday the 14th, I got a call back from Bernie’s former political rival, Rich Tarrant.

As anyone who saw his TV ads knows, about 40 years before he failed at politics, Tarrant played as an AllAmerican star forward for St. Mike’s.

He even joined the Boston Celtics for a few months after college. Tarrant’s a lifelong fan of college hoops.

Nonetheless, noted the multimillionaire, “Big money has really impacted some of these universities.

There’s too much of a temptation to cheat.” Tarrant claimed that, with “all the revenue from TV and the shoe contracts,” the NCAA is “ripe for a scandal,” possibly one involving steroid abuse.

This kind of talk didn’t exactly pump me up. It was already 5 p.m., just three hours before tip-off between UVM and Kansas State in the first round of the NIT tournament. “What about the Cats’ chances at NITTY glory, Rich?” I pleaded.

Tarrant said he supported the UVM team. “But let’s face it, Mike,” he conceded, “Vermont is more of a hockey state.”

Indeed: If March Madness qualifies as a psychological condition, then

the Green Mountain State is certifiably bipolar. Countless fans find themselves torn in two directions — including Congressman Peter Welch, who called from his D.C. office to explain how he’d had to choose between ball and puck in high school.

With UVM, Middlebury and Norwich consistently ranked among the top skaters in the country, ice hockey poses a serious threat to hoops-induced insanity. I needed to find out — just how neurotic could Vermont really get over its hoops?

Around 8 p.m., I went down to speak with the body politic itself at Church Street Tavern. Pint o’ Switchback in hand, I chose a spot near a cluster of sweaty, overfed IBM employees. Their ringleader informed me that they’d just played their week-

ly pick-up game at Memorial Auditorium. Everything about these guys’ posture and expressions said March Madness — at least to me.

“Evenin’, fellas!” I said. “So how do you feel about the game, as loyal Cats fans?”

Most of the techies ignored me.

But one lone beer belly, who preferred to remain anonymous, spoke up. “I mean, we wouldn’t not root for someone else, if UVM happened to suck,” he suggested. “That’s all we have around here, you know?”

It wasn’t the biggest outpouring of support. But, as if to spite the IBMers’ listlessness, UVM promptly began to kick Kansas’ ass. Down after two quarters, the Catamounts opened the second half on fire. By the time Shelburne native Kyle Cieplicki tied the game at 35 in the middle of the third, the 80-

person bar crowd had risen to its feet.

Later, as UVM pulled ahead by 7, someone at the bar — an enigma who goes only by “Pidge” — led the crowd in a chant of “GO CATS GO!” Unfortunately, that turned out to be the apex of our collective ecstasy: UVM would drop the contest by a point at the last minute. Afterward, as the crowd shuffled out, a guy by the TV pointed his finger at the Kansas fans and cried, “Look at those people — they don’t even know where Vermont is!” Was he acknowledging that the UVM men’s b-ball program still had miles to go before it could claim big-league status?

On the way home, I stopped to watch Francophiles slurping onion soup at Leunig’s — as if in denial of our shared athletic misfortune! When I peeked into Church Street Tavern on

Thursday night, the first night of the NCAA tournament, I noticed that half its televisions had been turned back to hockey.

Insiders tell a different story, though: They say Vermont hoops culture is enjoying a golden age. On St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, 24 hours before the Middlebury menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey team would face off against Oswego State for the Division 3 national championship, I sat around watching hoops with three local celebs: UVM star Kyle Cieplicki, his coach Mike Lonergan, and Rice High School boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coach Paul Pecor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way I see it,â&#x20AC;? Cieplicki said over the TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roar, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vermont basketball is only getting better â&#x20AC;&#x201D; high school- and collegewise.â&#x20AC;? Cieplicki, who could have chosen to play for other college programs, noted that â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people at UVM games know me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to see faces in the crowd.â&#x20AC;?

Division 1 programs next year.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re testament to a rising tide of interest in the sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of our kids at Rice look up to Kyle,â&#x20AC;? Pecor insisted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to see him get into coaching.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see,â&#x20AC;? said Cieplicki, a junior English major, whose father Kevin used to coach at Rice.

On Sunday, I took my seat in the Barre Auditorium to watch the number one Vermont Frost Heaves beat the pants off number 13 Strong Island, 10375, in the second round of the American Basketball Association playoffs.

Indeed. For many Vermonters, Coppenrath and Sorrentine â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whose famous 25-foot 3-pointer against Syracuse in 2005 still sparkles in collective memory â&#x20AC;&#x201D; serve as markers of a changing basketball climate. In addition to bringing UVM menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ball to a national audience, said coach Pecor, hoopsters such as Sorrentine, Cieplicki and Coppenrath have inspired droves of young players. (Coppenrath now plays with the Italianleague team Angelico Biela.)

Pecor himself had cause for celebration. On March 12, five days before our meeting, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d coached his team to a one-point state-championship win over Burlington High.

Though all but three Frost Heaves hail from out of state â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or out of country â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the team makes a point of giving back to the Vermont community.

Buckingham’s Palace Music preview: Lindsey Buckingham

S STORY

CASEY REA Lindsey Buckingham, Flynn MainStage, Burlington, April 1, 7:30 p.m. $44/75.

inger-guitarist Lindsey Buckingham is best known as one of the driving forces behind multi-platinum poprock legends Fleetwood Mac. The group — which featured Buckingham sharing center stage with his ex-lover and songwriting partner Stevie Nicks — were mainstays on commercial radio and living room turntables for much of the 1970s. Hits such as “The Chain” and the Bill Clinton-approved “Go Your Own Way” became anthems for a generation burned out on the lysergic free-for-alls of the previous decade. But underneath the pop perfection lurked a seething, if repressed, animosity — it’s not easy to be in a mega-selling supergroup with a former flame. But it sure makes for great tunes.

A lot has changed for Buckingham, now 57. Drugs and drama are no longer part of the equation. The California native is the proud father of three, and family life holds more enticements than parties and industry schmoozing. But Buckingham has never been far from the spotlight, particularly when his old band comes calling. Between big-money reunion tours and the occasional new Mac record, the pop maestro makes his own music. He just takes his sweet time doing it.

Buckingham is not only a skilled songwriter and able guitarist; he’s also a studio perfectionist whose best work ranks with that of another West Coast production legend, Brian Wilson.

Buckingham released his first two solo records back in 1981 and 1984, when he was still a member of the act that made him famous. Although the efforts were critically well received, the ongoing Mac melodrama overshadowed them.

Tensions within the band reached a head in 1987. Buckingham jumped ship, leaving many personal issues unresolved. An invite to play Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential inauguration brought him back into the fold; a world tour and accompanying live disc followed, along with some muchneeded fence mending.

At the end of the ’90s, Buckingham was hard at work on a new solo record when Fleetwood Mac again came calling. His record company persuaded him to give a bunch of his new tunes to the band. These songs formed the core of Say You Will, the first FM studio album in more than 15 years to feature both Buckingham and Nicks.

His latest release, Under the Skin, is sparser than the baroque soft-rock for which Fleetwood Mac is known. But its intimate ambiance only highlights Buckingham’s musical gifts, and the album has already earned rave reviews. He’ll be performing selections from it, as well as Fleetwood Mac classics, at the Flynn MainStage on Sunday, April 1.

Seven Days recently chatted with Buckingham via phone from a hotel room in Myrtle Beach, California.

SEVEN DAYS: You’ve enjoyed a lot of acclaim as a guitarist, singer and songwriter, but a lot of folks don’t know about your production skills. What’s your inspiration as far as studio work goes?

LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM: It isn’t about copying anyone; it’s about finding your own voice and making it work. There are so many people out there that are great producers — people who were outside the box and had to fight hard to get others to hear what they were hearing. Certainly Brian Wilson and Phil Spector fit that description. Long-term, one of my agendas was to define myself on my own terms. So there are times when you’ve got to subvert, but you don’t want to do that just for the sake of doing it.

SD: Under the Skin is one of the most interesting-sounding “singer-songwriter” records I’ve heard in a long time. It’s pared down, but hardly empty. How did you find the magic formula for this one?

LB: It wasn’t too hard; it was actually kind of liberating. I’d been attempting to get a solo record out for a while, and had gotten sidetracked a number of times. A good portion of the material I had ended up on the last Fleetwood Mac album. So when I started writing again, it was with a whole new perspective. During that time I’d gotten married, had kids, and a lot of questions had been answered.

Then there was the theoretical aspect — transforming material that had been designed as ensemble pieces into

guitar and voice numbers. I started thinking, “What if I were to take one or two guitars and try to get them to do the work of all these instruments?”

SD: Speaking of guitar, you’re a fingerpicker who rocks really hard when necessary. How did you develop your technique?

LB: I started playing pretty young, and I never used a pick then, and I guess it just continued. I listened to my brother’s rock ’n’ roll 45s, then got into folk music, then a little classical guitar. I wasn’t really a lead player, and by the time I got called upon to do that, it was too late!

SD: I’ve read about how you’d often give music intended as solo material over to Fleetwood

Mac. How do you feel about that?

LB: I think everything happens for a reason. When I look at my new record, it took a long time to get it out, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad the music is what it is. In retrospect, some of the material I thought was supposed to be for a solo album was meant for Fleetwood Mac. So I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel bad about it at all. If you say youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a band, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an active member, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of what you have to do. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be out there for yourself â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you have to consider the needs of the whole. And I have no problems with that.

SD: In your earlier work, I hear controlled anger, or at least a bit of resentment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that your new stuff lacks teeth, but do you feel like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve let some of that go?

LB: Well, I hope so! Fleetwood Mac was definitely a trying experience â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for all of us, but as trying for me as anyone. It was difficult to be in a group with your ex and not have any closure. It was also tough to be producing hits for her, which in theory

about the situations surrounding, say, Rumours. What drives your songs these days?

LB: Back then, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure we even knew we were writing songs about ourselves; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d assign them to generic characters, and it was only in hindsight that we realize they were mostly autobiographical.

Today, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to be connected to reality.

I know myself as a person better, and can look at things with possibly a wiser set of eyes. What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m interested in now is more the craft of writing and less the craft of record making. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about striking a tone thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authentic, and being able to maintain it for the length of a song.

SD: What do you feel about your old work being re-evaluated? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always thought Tusk ruled, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really found a new audience.

LB: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been very gratifying to me. You know what else is ironic? In the wake of that album, since it failed to sell 16 million more copies to make it as big as Rumours, there was a heavy-duty backlash

So there was some pent-up anger about that, as well as a certain amount of frustration about adapting into what Fleetwood Mac needed me to be as a musician. But, obviously, those people are some of the closest friends Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever have, and yet, off and on, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been adversaries, too. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mixed bag, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned to live with it.

SD: It must be difficult to have to talk about your past every time you discuss a current project. How do you deal with that?

LB: Well, every time I look at the past, it has a different context. The last time I put out a solo record, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t married, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have kids, and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I ever would.

I saw a lot of friends screw up their kids because they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there for them, and if they were there, they were the wrong kind of presence. I swore I would never do that, because I revere the way I was brought up. Anyway, so many things have changed since the last album. Hopefully, you keep looking at the past with a new refinement. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as it should be.

SD: Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great attitude. Still, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a rock fan and not know

within the band. There was this political dictum that came down, like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lindsey, we want you to produce, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want you to do that anymore.â&#x20AC;? Which left me kind of treading water. They wanted me to backtrack and make Rumours II, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work that way. But now, even Mick [Fleetwood] and Stevie will say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their favorite album. So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great, too.

SD: And you no longer face commercial pressures?

LB: Well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ridiculous for me to be trying to play some kind of radio game. The state of the business these days, ironically, for me, is kind of freeing. Because it makes it more clear that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve earned the right to do what I do, and I can just go ahead and do it.

SD: But will we have to wait another decade for a follow-up to Under the Skin?

LB: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the Terrence Malick of rock, right?

Well, what usually happens is Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll put out a solo album and Fleetwood Mac is right there. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve staked out a time window to not only tour more extensively, but also put out an album in 2008. And if Fleetwood Mac comes knocking, well, I guess Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m prepared to just let â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em knock for a while. ďż˝

BY MARC AWODEY

Inner Vision mplied photographic narratives haunt “Inside/Insight,” currently on view at Burlington’s Firehouse Gallery.

One of the two exhibiting artists redefines the boundaries of his medium; the other invents provocative images by altering the scale of settings that suggest domestic crises. Firehouse curator Ruth Erickson astutely noted of this powerful show, “Throughout hisEXHIBIT tory, photography has been associated with capturing James Johnson & accuracy, but in this exhibition, James Johnson and Christine Shank: “Inside/Insight,” Christine Shank use photography to render what they photographic have imagined visible.” The two nationally emerging works (re)vision- artists combine a unique conceptual foundation with a ing interior scenes. sophisticated attention to craftsmanship.

Firehouse Gallery, The dozen 24-by-30-inch color C-print photographs Burlington.

Through April 14. of Shank’s “Interiors” series, created during 2005 and 2006, preserve starkly Kafkaesque moments as played ARTWORK out in dramatically lit, miniature model-room interiors.

“She had been Her artist statement notes that each portrays “an aftertold it was not a math of a destructive event.” Peeling faux wallpaper, possibility” by Christine Shank bricked-up doors and empty picture frames are among the strangely symbolic details in Shank’s interiors. And PHOTO like film noir cinematography, her careful manipulation Courtesy of of shadows and muted use of color charge the disheveled, the artist unpeopled scenes with heightened emotional tension.

There’s also a slightly claustrophobic feel to many of the works, as Shank regularly employs rectangles within horizontal, rectangular compositions. In her piece entitled “1035 unforgettable little mistakes,” a bright, empty room with apparent bullet holes on its back wall appears

through a darker anteroom in the foreground. As in all of Shank’s works, the wall riddled with perforations is part of a carefully designed, Lilliputian stage set. Other interiors include furnishings fabricated in the tradition of Victorian dollhouse accoutrements. The hyperrealism of Shank’s details — such as the carpentry of a banister, a fancy lampshade and elaborate wallpaper patterning — amplify her disorienting shifts of scale.

Shank’s titles obliquely outline the events of her narratives. In “They said it wouldn’t get any worse than this,” a burgundy-colored rug is draped over a lump in the middle of an empty room. Two doors appear on the far wall; the left one is slightly ajar. In “She had been told it was not a possibility,” actual flames leap from an Oriental rug. An emerald-green, 18-paned window glows above the flame. How the titles relate to activities witnessed in each room can only be surmised.

While Johnson’s technical approach is entirely different than Shank’s, he shares her voyeuristic interest in interiors. His sole work in the show is “Mrs. Mabel’s Apartment Brooklyn New York.”

Johnson created a brilliant, wall-sized installation consisting of three two-way mirrors centered in the middle of the Firehouse’s back gallery. A 3-by-5-inch window at roughly eye level floats, almost like a hologram, deep within the plane of the middle mirror.

When peered into, it reveals the chambers of “Mrs. Mabel’s Apartment.” Although the effect is three-

dimensional, the inner image is generated by elaborately backlighting various photographs on the other side of the mirror — “through the looking glass,” as it were. Smaller windows in the flanking two-way mirrors reveal other inner-room details. Of course, the viewer’s reflection is omnipresent as well.

Rather than shielding from public view the complex mechanical wizardry behind “Mrs. Mabel’s Apartment Brooklyn New York,” Erickson allows the amazed audience to peruse the structure behind Johnson’s weird illusions. His masterpiece would be equally well suited to a display in a science museum, and that’s not a pejorative assessment. The medium of photography has historically informed, and been informed by, both realms of human discovery.

Shank received her MFA in photography in 2004 and is an assistant professor at Washington University in St. Louis. Johnson’s 2002 MFA in photography was awarded by the Rochester Institute of Technology, generally considered the most important photography program in the U.S. He now teaches at the Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia. Thus established within the critical context of academe, both artists are well poised to continue redefining the meaning, and presentation, of photography in the 21st century. m Got a comment on this story or ideas for another one?

She integrates Asian-inspired, bravura strokes with occasional English-language cursive passages in nonobjective, black-andwhite canvasses, which range in scale from meditative 18-by-18-inch pieces to expansive, dynamic 60-by-48-inch compositions. Pictured: “For Each to See the Other.”

playing the electronic field

The Beauty of the Race Gentlemen, start your graphics engines.

“MotorStorm” roars onto the PlayStation 3, splattering mud and kicking up dust in the most glorious mess seen to date on the new system.

And just in time, as far as PS3 fans and Sony bookkeepers are concerned. For almost six months, the new Sony gaming box has relied more on potential than on high-octane thrills. The PS3 might look like it was smuggled out of Area 51, but until now no one had created a game to really show off all the technology that is stuffed into the gleaming black package.

Watching the high-definition copy of “Talladega Nights” that shipped with the machine went only so far to justify the purchase of this pricey home-entertainment system.

“MotorStorm” might lack the genre-busting innovation you always hope will arrive on a new gaming system. But even though this rallyracing title sticks to the muddy ruts of previous games, the developers have used high-definition media to create some heart-pounding fun.

Racing with motorcycles, dune buggies, semis and more, players strap into or onto a hunk of metal and then throttle down the desolate desert track.

Speed always has been the friend of graphics. Once players get the scenery flying by fast enough, the game can drop details while the driver’s eyes have to stay focused on the road. With “MotorStorm,” your imagination still looks out the window while the rest of the brain concentrates on keeping your vehicle on the track. “MotorStorm” just feels more exciting because it looks so great.

Ironically, the level of detail in the graphics isn’t matched anywhere else. Unlike most race titles on the market, “Motorstorm” doesn’t let

SUDOKU

you customize your vehicles, tweak the suspension, select the tires or mod the fuel-injection system.

Rather than delivering the most sophisticated driving game ever, “MotorStorm” provides play that feels like the sort of thing that costs a dollar a pop at the local high-end video arcade.

In that sense, “MotorStorm” is less the killer application for the system than it is its best demo.

But what this game demonstrates bodes well for the platform. By opening up the racetracks with a variety of surfaces and undulating driving lines, debris and obstacles that clatter around the track and a high-fidelity soundtrack, it’s not the game that stars, but the environment. What “MotorStorm” lacks in the mental challenge of customization in the garage, it makes up for by offering a place so vivid that you find yourself tearing around the same tracks again and again just to relive the experience.

The scenery might not change,

but like a return trip to Disneyland, that’s OK. The experience of walking down Main Street or burning rubber across the desert provides its own excitement and renewed discovery.

“MotorStorm” shows us that graphics still matter.

Who’s It For: With its simple premise and easy-to-learn controls, “MotorStorm” is the game for anyone who feels the need for speed.

If You Like This, Try That: When it comes to car culture, nothing beats the “Gran Turismo” series on the PlayStation 2. Featuring hundreds of cars, famous racetracks and exhaustive detail, “GT” is as much about the science as the sport of racing.

Best Part: Supporting up to 12 players racing head-to-head online, “MotorStorm” turns demolitionderby-style racing into a social gathering.

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.

theborowitzreport Iraqis Angry That U.S. Forgot Anniversary of War

I

raqi citizens, already furious at the United States for a host of issues, are now miffed that the U.S. apparently forgot the fourth anniversary of the war there, sources said today.

Across the war-torn nation, Iraqis expressed a range of emotions from dismay to outright anger at the U.S. for failing to recognize the fourth anniversary of the March 2003 invasion.

And while Sunnis and Shiites have found little to agree about as sectarian violence has surged in recent weeks, they both seemed in accord about one thing today: The United States should have at least sent flowers.

“A fourth anniversary is a big deal, and it should have been marked with a tasteful bouquet,” said Tikrit resident Hassan El-Medfaai, 47. “Apparently, this anniversary means a lot more to us than it does to them.”

At the White House, aides were scrambling to make amends with the Iraqi people over the apparent omission, with President Bush reportedly suggesting that the U.S. send an “I Wuv You” bear and a Mylar balloon with the

words “Mission Accomplished” on it.

But in an interview on Fox News, Vice President Dick Cheney defended the U.S.’s failure to recognize the anniversary, telling reporters, “When we invaded four years ago, the Iraqis didn’t greet us with flowers, either.”

Vice President Cheney added that a fourth anniversary is not “a major one,” and that the U.S. would still be in Iraq

A fourth anniversary is a big deal, and it should have been marked with a tasteful bouquet.

Elsewhere, the Department of Homeland Security raised the nation’s terror alert level based on reports that Britney Spears had checked out of rehab.

Feral Cheryl your role model. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the anti-Barbie â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a pierced, dreadlocked, tattooed doll. She owns no stiletto heels, designer handbags, or cheerleader outfits. Her only accessory is a stash of homegrown herbs. A student of spiritual anarchy, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a freethinking activist who rejects all â&#x20AC;&#x153;isms.â&#x20AC;? Be like Feral Cheryl, Taurus. APRIL FOOL! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never try to talk you into regarding a 13-inch-tall plastic doll as your role model, no matter how cool she might be.

But I do suggest you adopt some version of Feral Cherylâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motto: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love simply, live amply, run wild.â&#x20AC;?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): After meditating on the omens, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decide whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more accurate to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;This week will suckâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;This week will blow.â&#x20AC;? APRIL FOOL! While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that your imminent experiences may resemble the kinds of pleasure that one human being can give another through a masterful use of the mouth and tongue, â&#x20AC;&#x153;suckâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;blowâ&#x20AC;? have too many negative connotations to use them as metaphors.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say instead that the coming week will lick and slurp and drool.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): Soon the Lord will return and handpick 144,000 saintly people to ascend with him into his perfectly hygienic gated community on a flying saucer where all

the bathroom fixtures are gold and the Internet is contained in magic miniature iPhones that the lucky 144,000 will have implanted in their brains for instant access to the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brain 24/7.

And get this: YOU will be one of the 144,000!

APRIL FOOL! The truth is, the Lord has already returned to earth in the form of a 14-year-old girl who lives in the Hellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen part of New York City, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all living in Paradise at this very moment. So no, there are no 144,000 saints whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get extra-special privileges. But the coming week will be very lucky for you, and you will enjoy at least one wonderful new perk.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Here are the five most popular fortunes in fortune cookies: 1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your present plans are going to succeed.â&#x20AC;? 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good news will come to you from far away.â&#x20AC;? 3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now is the time to try something new.â&#x20AC;? 4. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your love life will be happy and harmonious.â&#x20AC;? 5. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next can of tuna fish you open will have a million-dollar diamond inside.â&#x20AC;? All five of these fortunes happen to be accurate predictions for you in the coming week. APRIL FOOL! Your imminent future looks great, but not that great. At most, only three of those five fortunes will come true for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): One out of every

20 people claims to have talked to the devil personally. That statistic could change in the coming week, however, because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m predicting that many of you Virgos will sit down for a heart-to-heart with the horned one. For most of you, furthermore, the conversation will go surprisingly well. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll out-argue the devil, impressing him with your logic and winning him over with your charm, leading him to promise to dramatically reduce the number of insidious temptations heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll send your way in the future.

APRIL FOOL! There is no such thing as the devil.

But it is true that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to triumph over evil in the coming week.

LIbRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your assignment is to precisely identify every last one of your complexes, syndromes and maladies. Towards that end, buy a copy of the 943-page book

!

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, and read it from beginning to end.

APRIL FOOL! Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you know me any better than that? I would NEVER encourage you to obsess on your pain. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your real horoscope: Start writing your own version of the book How We Choose to Be Happy: The 9 Choices of Extremely Happy People. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high time you learned how to work your ass off to feel really good.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Not to be

confused with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alt.heimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? is a term that the Slang Dictionary defines as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a condition afflicting chronic hipsters who can no longer recall if they like something genuinely or ironically. Example: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;As Ron stared at the hideous leather pants and retro Star Wars sheets heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just purchased, he realized his Alt.heimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was advancing with terrifying speed.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? I bring this up, Scorpio, because you urgently need to determine whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re infected with Alt.heimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. APRIL FOOL! You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have Alt.heimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. But it is crucial that you take inventory of what things you genuinely like and what things you merely like ironically.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind-over-matter horoscope features the words of three notorious New Age flakes, philosopher William James, essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Albert Einstein. First, James: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes.â&#x20AC;? Emerson: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Intellect annuls Fate. So far as a person thinks, he is free.â&#x20AC;? Einstein: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.â&#x20AC;? APRIL FOOL! James, Emerson, and Einstein were NOT New Age flakes. They simply had some ideas that were similar to New Age flakes. So donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dismiss their advice, especially now, when you can accomplish miracles by acting as if you have a potent role in creating your own reality.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Wealthy women in ancient Rome often filled their baths with perfumed swan fat and donkey milk. It would make perfect astrological sense if you did the same thing. The omens suggest that you should borrow old customs to enhance your health and appearance. APRIL FOOL! While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that this is a good time to upgrade your health and appearance, there are better ways to do so than with swan fat and donkey milk. However, those two exotic substances are symbolically apt. You should cultivate influences that will enhance your grace and beauty as well as your stubborn strength and dogged persistence.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): On the

caloric energy provided by just one 12-ounce bag of potato chips, you can think 550 thoughts, at least 10 percent of them good ones. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I urge you to devour one such bag every day this week. The omens suggest that your brain is aching to churn out an explosion of big, fat thoughts. APRIL FOOL! Your brain will generate a multitude of ideas (at least 40 percent of them good ones) even if you dine on nothing but carrot juice and salad. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the phase of your astrological cycle when your mind is magically hyperactive. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need potato chips to be smart.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Two cannibals

are eating a clown. One says to the other: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Does this taste funny to you?â&#x20AC;? Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication. A vulture boards a plane carrying two dead possums. The flight attendant stops her and says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry, maâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;am, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one carrion allowed per passenger.â&#x20AC;? APRIL FOOL! The preceding passage wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your real horoscope, but rather a Zen koan designed to scramble your brain so that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be receptive to your real horoscope, which goes as follows: Two Eskimos were sitting in a kayak. They were cold, so they lit a fire right there. The boat sank, proving that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have your kayak and heat it too.

film review Manhattan street and rushed up to say hello. Sandler, unshaven, bedraggled and bearing an eerie resemblance to Bob Dylan, looks right through him. Cheadle persists, reminding him they were roommates at dental school for two years. He might as well be speaking Chinese.

As it happens, this is also a movie about a rescue. Sandler’s character, Charlie Fineman, lost his wife and three young daughters when the plane they were on was hijacked and flown into the World Trade Center on September 11. Charlie has retreated psychologically to an earlier period in his life before he met the mother of his children, and he’s repressed all memory of ever having had a family.

Where he once was a practicing medical professional, he now lives off huge pay-outs from insurance companies and the government, collects vinyl from the ’70s and ’80s by artists such as The Pretenders, Springsteen and The Who, compulsively plays a video game called “Shadow of the Colossus,” and winds his way through the city on a motorized scooter. As Alan Johnson, Cheadle makes it his mission to get him the help he needs to heal and reenter the world.

But Charlie proves remarkably resistant, given that the therapist Alan produces is played by Liv Tyler.

Written and directed by Mike (The Upside of Anger) Binder, the picture is equally concerned with Johnson’s state of mind and the unexpected ways his damaged pal helps him make needed repairs to his own life.

Reign Over Me HHHH

T

REIGN MEN Sandler and Cheadle are paired in Mike Binder’s moving rumination on the power of friendship.

he last time I saw Adam Sandler on the silver screen, he was in the company of Christopher Walken. The two were appearing in the Capraesque comedy Click.

As I watched an early scene in Sandler’s new film, I had to wonder whether the actors had talked about the performance that made Walken famous — his role in The Deer Hunter as a prisoner of war so shellshocked he doesn’t recognize his best friend who arrives in Saigon to rescue him.

There’s a similar scene in Reign Over Me, and Sandler is surprisingly convincing in it. An old friend played by Don Cheadle has just spotted him on a

So yes, this is a Hollywood fable of friendship, and these movies have their place. The cool thing is that it’s way quirkier, funnier and, at times, far more devastatingly honest than most. That Cheadle’s a first-rate actor and is believable every second he’s on the screen will come as a surprise to few. Sandler’s performance, on the other hand, is a revelation. After you see the movie, consider that it was written for Tom Cruise and ask yourself how much of what makes it special would have made it onto the screen without Sandler’s touch. I doubt we’ll see a 9/11 movie with more laughs. Or one that’s more heartbreaking.

Reign Over Me isn’t nearly perfect. I could have lived without the awkward appropriation of the title from Quadrophenia’s “Love, Reign O’er Me,” the one-dimensional character of Alan’s nagging wife, played by Jada Pinkett Smith, and the strained subplot: Is offering one’s dentist oral sex a common response to discovering a spouse has been unfaithful?

Ditto the over-the-top climactic courtroom scene. By and large, though, this is undeniably powerful, emotionally potent stuff for a buddy film.

RICK KISONAK

An Unreasonable Man HHHH

W

REASON TO BELIEVE A documentary with Vermont connections explores Ralph Nader’s legacy.

hy are progressives still furious with Ralph Nader six years after the U.S. Supreme Court handed George W. Bush a victory? What’s behind the consumer advocate’s insistence on a third-party candidacy? How can this guy’s track record on highway safety be reconciled with his role in enabling the current train wreck of domestic and foreign policy? Those are some of the burning questions addressed in An Unreasonable Man, a documentary that Newfane native and 1976 Castleton State College grad Henriette Mantel co-directed with Steve Skrovan.

The film opens Friday at Merrill’s Roxy Cinemas in Burlington. Mantel, who’ll be on hand for a chat after both evening shows, may face an audience that wonders if the pioneering public-interest crusader has become an egocentric spoiler.

On-screen, the likes of filmmaker Michael Moore and media critic Todd Gitlin suggest as much.

“Thank you, Ralph, for the Iraq war,” The Nation columnist Eric Alterman says rhetorically.

By contrast, longtime Nader ally and journalist James Ridgeway excoriates the Democratic Party’s determination to trash Nader for exercising his Constitutional right to run for office: “They’re the meanest bunch of motherfuckers I have ever come across.”

While the documentary is clearly pro-Nader, it strives for balance. That’s a good thing, since the Left is bitterly divided on Nader’s legacy.

During a recent telephone interview, Nader decried the “stolen” 2000 election: “Gore won. There were all kinds of what-ifs. Why pick on the Green

Party? Why don’t they go after the thieves? We can’t keep ignoring that we have a two-party elected dictatorship. It’s so antidemocratic.”

Nader’s devotion to the democratic process was evident in 1965, when the young, Harvard-educated lawyer published Unsafe at Any Speed. His landmark book scrutinized the Chevrolet Corvair and other poorly designed “psychosexual dreamboats,” as he describes such vehicles in the film. The Congressional hearings that followed led to the consumer-protection laws — and mandatory seatbelts — that we take for granted today.

Nader proceeded to sue General Motors for invasion of privacy after the company spied on and harassed him. He was awarded $425,000, the seed money for his subsequent battles against corporate greed and government neglect.

With a staff of 110 so-called “Raiders,” mostly students, Nader went on to champion safe drinking water, clean air, occupational health and other initiatives. He told his minions: “You can bring your conscience to work every day.”

While other young people of their generation were demonstrating in the streets, these zealous investigators worked within the system, which they believed could function properly and fairly. “The Vietnam and civil rights movements created an atmosphere that made our efforts seem less extreme,” Nader reflects on camera.

These “radical nerds,” as the Raiders were known, enjoyed stunning successes. Skrovan and Mantel — who was briefly the office manager at Nader’s

Washington, D.C., operation — enumerate them throughout the film. The accomplishments are all the more impressive given how anonymous the individuals remain.

Nader alone became a household name, yet his glory never appeared particularly personal, even when he graced the covers of national news magazines. The fight for justice defined him, obscuring more ordinary human traits.

The documentary includes terrific archival footage spanning the last four decades. There are stirring sequences of Raiders toiling round the clock. Several of these idealists resurface as contemporary talking heads on both sides of the controversy about their mentor’s first presidential bid.

Although the 2000 campaign is now the stuff of history, the film examines this period in a way that manages to sustain suspense. Banned from participating in a televised Boston debate, Nader tries merely to attend the event with a valid ticket. The police outside threaten to arrest him for trespassing. God bless America.

In another poignant scene, Nader fires up a packed Madison Square Garden rally where Eddie Vedder sings a plaintive “The Times They Are AChangin’.” If only.

Breakfast with the Branons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the sap for leaks in the sugar lines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One barrel in 27 minutes, eh, Tim?â&#x20AC;? Branon asks.

Hubbard looks up through the steam and grins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twenty-four,â&#x20AC;? he corrects.

BY MIKE IVES

G

ene Branon will tell you: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough hosting a party when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re overworked and underslept. Today Branon, his enormous extended family and their crew will throw a 350-person Sunday brunch in their Fairfield sugarhouse. Tree sap doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take weekends off.

The brunch officially kicks off at 9 a.m.

By that time, Branon and his dedicated 10-man sugaring team will have produced 110 gallons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two metal barrelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; full â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of â&#x20AC;&#x153;fancyâ&#x20AC;?-grade syrup. But this 31-year-old

sugarer, whose soiled Carhartts and weathered sweatshirt attest to an inspired vigilance, still has enough energy to smile as he works. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is typical. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how we run,â&#x20AC;? he says.

To an untrained eye, the entrance to the Branon Sugarhouse looks as rustic as any other â&#x20AC;&#x201D; antlers over the archway, tasting trophies in the corner, an old saw on the wall. Behind the scenes, though, Branon is adjusting a Springtech Elite 4000 Reverse Osmosis machine â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;R.O.â&#x20AC;? to syrup pros.

The $60,000 contraption, which streamlines the boiling process and reduces fuel costs, is the latest energy-saving gadget designed

In another room stands the Branonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; steaming 6-by-18-foot sugaring â&#x20AC;&#x153;rigâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a mutant cousin of the backwoodsy, momand-pop model. Longtime employee Tim Hubbard, 45, stands beside the beast, stirring a cauldron of boiling syrup-to-be with a wooden pallet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The R.O. helps take water out of the sap,â&#x20AC;? Hubbard explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But only some of it.â&#x20AC;?

Having adjusted the R.O., Gene Branon stops to check in with Hubbard before heading back into the woods, where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll check

The sugarers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only ones running ahead of schedule. Around 8:30, a gaggle of guests converges on the griddle to grab a pre-emptive batch of pancakes. And bacon. And eggs. And baked beans. And rag muffins. The spread â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is no-frills-y, but not shabby â&#x20AC;&#x201D; could feed a forest full of of lumberjacks. After a while, maple flavor begins to overwhelm the senses. Of course, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partly the point.

Rag muffins?

Sonja Hull, one of the first in line for the buffet, has never heard of that particular maple delicacy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; buttermilk biscuits slowcooked in syrup. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an easy sell. Hull, a former schoolteacher, drove up from Bakersfield with her father Wayne, whose Enosburg insurance firm used to insure Gene Branonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father. Father and daughter have â&#x20AC;&#x153;heard the brunch was great,â&#x20AC;? they enthuse. Sonja says of the Branon operation, â&#x20AC;&#x153;As modern as it is, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very much steeped in tradition.â&#x20AC;?

You can say that again. Though it sounds a little . . . sappy, the Branon family motto â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;Generations of Traditionâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seems to mean a whole lot. From Geneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 56-year-old father Dan to his 16-month-old son Kaleb, family connections abound in the town of Fairfield. Geneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncles Tom and Tim Branon own a nearby sugar bush. So do his second cousins, Pat and Bruce. And his other second cousin Damian. And his other uncle Ned. Dan Branon remembers sugaring with his grandfather. All told, Gene estimates that his extended family operates between 150,000 and 200,000 taps â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nothing short of a maple empire.

Breakfast Pastries

Maple sugaring “is in my blood forever,” says Danielle Landry, as she collects tickets next to a pair of syrup barrels. Landry, Dan’s niece, wears a sparkling tiara and a sash that reads “Maple Queen.” It’s no gimmick: Landry is a certified public advocate for Vermont’s maple-syrup industry.

Two days ago, she served as an honorary delegate at Governor Douglas’ tree-tapping ceremony in Montpelier. Landry’s life isn’t exclusively about maple, though — next year she’ll study physical therapy at the University of New England in Biddeford, Maine.

Around 10:30, seven women dressed in red felt hats and boas stroll in. “I love maple!” boasts

are here in the States to visit his sister. His brother-in-law Shane Pearo suggested they come along to the Branon breakfast for a taste of small-town Vermont. Between rag muffins, “boutique breweries,” and the residue of snow, the Savages’ collective appetite for “Vermont” is insatiable.

“If we didn’t have a local contact,” Savage explains, “we wouldn’t have known about this.

We’re lucky to be here.”

After breakfast, Savage pauses in the foyer to buy a half-dozen jars of maple syrup from Gene Branon’s wife, Desirée. He walks away carefully, as if holding a bag of precious jewels. Shane Pearo and his 10-year-old son Caleb wait in the parking lot.

For Caleb, a maple-breakfast veteran, today’s affair feels oddly

home for a nap — the downside of the maple high. “But he’ll be back,” Branon insists.

Kaleb’s dad Gene has big plans for his little boy. Sugaring aside, Branon says he hopes Kaleb will eventually take an interest in the family’s recovering dairy operations.

Maple sugaring may be a Branon family tradition, but it’s only the most recent one. Dan Branon produced milk full-time until his barn burned down in 1998 and he made the switch to sugaring.

Now, Gene owns one of three family herds, which together have nearly 1000 cows. He says he’d like to go organic someday.

“People tell me I’m stupid for [staying] in dairy,” says the young father. “But that’s how I want my kids to be raised.”

MAtt BrAnon And tiM huBBArd At the sugAring rig the group’s leader, Donna Win. “I knew they’d be doing this.”

Win and her entourage belong to the nationally affiliated “Red Hat Club,” a social organization for women over 50 who also regularly attend the Enosburg dairy parade. Win says she chose this maple breakfast in part because it brings back memories of her childhood. “When I was a kid on a farm in Barnet, we had the horses and buckets,” she recalls. “It’s just such a tradition in Vermont.”

Gene Archambault, who came to the Branon Sugarhouse straight from church, agrees. A field representative for the St. Albans Dairy Cooperative, the 33-year-old says, “I’ve known the Branons all my life.” While he came here for “a nice outing,” Archambault also recognizes the event’s larger economic and cultural implications.

“Maple breakfasts are good for the industry — they give people an idea where the syrup comes from and how it’s made,” he suggests.

Apparently word of the Branons’ breakfast is spreading around the world. “We’ve seen snow before in Australia, but never on trees like this,” says Russell Savage. He and his family

similar to last week’s. Yawning, he reflects, “The bacon was OK. But it had too much fat in it.”

By noon, the incessant flow of people — and sap — has eased up, so Tim Hubbard takes a break from his boiling duties to eat in the prep kitchen. All around him, young women from Lise Gates’ Enosburg Dairy Center Catering Company are removing fresh trays of baked beans and rag muffins from the oven.

“We’re caught up for a minute,” Hubbard says over his pancakes, bacon and eggs. “But the tanks down the road are filling up fast [with sap].”

Meanwhile, patriarch Dan Branon grinds ice, packs it in a tray and drizzles it with syrup.

An inquisitive girl in a pink jumpsuit wanders over, and he helps her twirl the taffy-like product around a fork: “Sugar on snow.” A smiling, white-haired woman stops to twirl one for herself. “The best part about sugaring,” he observes, “is having the younger generation alongside this lady here, who’s 97.”

Dan Branon’s grandson Kaleb, incidentally, has already gone

ing through the hard work: His dad and the rest of the crew still have 50,000 gallons of sap to process.

At 1 p.m., the buffet closes, and caterer Lise Gates steps outside to call her office in Enosburg. She assesses the morning’s damage: 100 pounds of potatoes, 130 pounds of bacon, four 18-pound hams, four pans of baked beans, at least 1000 pancakes, 12 loaves of homemade bread, 120-dozen eggs, and a boatload of rag muffins.

“It’s my grandmother’s rag muffin recipe,” she explains.

“Younger folks don’t know what they are — but the older folks do!”

The Branon Sugarhouse sits atop a gentle rise, and the morning fog has already burnt off to reveal a sweeping view of the Green Mountains. Spring is here.

And, for all their concerns about global warming, Vermont’s sugar makers have high hopes for this year’s run.

Lise takes a deep, calming breath. “We enjoy working with the Branons,” she reflects. “My girls want to come back every year, which tells you something.” >

Food on Film A young MusliM MeAts his destiny

Vermont suffers from a shortage of slaughterhouses.

More rare still in the Green Mountains? Bona fide Islam-approved butchers. Regardless of your religion, “processing” animals is a tough business. A second-generation American Muslim struggles with his identity, too, when he takes over the family slaughterhouse in New York City in the documentary film A Son’s Sacrifice. The movie screens Thursday at 12:30 p.m. in UVM’s Memorial Lounge.

For religion professor and event sponsor Sufia Uddin, the event is not just recommended viewing for her “Islam in the U.S.” course: It’s personal.

The subject of the film is her brother, Imran Uddin.

Imran had already earned a degree in advertising from Clark University when he switched careers and took over the butcher business from his father. Now he’s the manager and also slaughters animals in a way that renders the meat “halal,” or permissible under Muslim law.

Waell Murray, a Bosnian native and owner of Global Markets on North Winooski Avenue in Burlington, explains the killing technique. The throats of the animals must be slit, and “you cannot mention anything else but God’s name” during the process, which he refers to as “slaughtering in the name of Allah.” Murray actually slaughters animals and sells the meat to a few select customers — he takes orders for halal Thanksgiving turkeys in November. But he can’t provide for everybody who wants their meat blessed. Those who aren’t able to take advantage of his services often find their meat in Montréal, but they risk having it confiscated at the border. Murray knows of a family who lost beef and chicken valued at more than $200 when a customs agent searched their vehicle.

Finding appropriate food stuffs is only one of the many challenges of practicing Islam in the U.S. The film delves into some of the deeper concerns.

Uddin explains that it’s about “how to maintain your Muslim culture while still being an American.”

How will the film be received in Vermont, with its notorious lack of ethnic diversity? “It’s a wonderful population up here, and people are hungry for more knowledge of other cultures,” Uddin says.

Attention, local vegans and vegetarians: You may want to sit this one out.

Burlington Business Burgled CAsh tAken froM Cobblestone

No windows were broken, and the lock hadn’t been picked. But last Saturday morning, the first employee to arrive at Burlington’s Cobblestone Deli found the biz’s money bags sitting in the middle of the floor — empty. How much was missing? Owner Jaimie Kramer reports it was around $1000.

“The bitter irony is,” he explains, “it’s been winter, and winter is hard on businesses. Friday was like a summer day, and it was twice as busy as usual. It was our first good take . . . we were all cheering and high-fiving at the end of the day.”

The thief made off with the whole day’s cash.

Burlington’s Deputy Police Chief Mike Scherling is unable to comment on the investigation, but Kramer has some ideas about who may have perpetrated the crime. “It’s most obviously an inside job,” he says. “Whoever it was had a key somehow. They came in the back door and went to where things were hidden. They didn’t stay long.

They clearly had a plan.”

Although Cobblestone closed briefly on Saturday morning so Kramer could “find some money to put in the cash register,” the deli is back to normal hours of operation. Kramer plans to call his insurance company to find out whether burglary is covered in his policy.

Although the building was burgled before Kramer owned it — bars block the bathroom window — this is the first time such a thing has “happened during my tenure,” he says. “I feel violated: all that

normal, typical crap,” Kramer goes on. “We trust people implicitly; if someone says they don’t have money and they’ll bring it by later, we let them.”

Officer Scherling was able to confirm that the police are following a few leads. While Kramer hopes that the case will be closed soon, he’s getting on with his life. Of the person who did this to him, he says, “Clearly his or her life isn’t going that well. Obviously, it’s worse to be him or her than me. But,” he continues, “it still sucks.”

VerMont bAking book And others gArner AwArd nods

Nicci Micco, 31, a senior editor at EatingWell magazine, is modest about being nominated for a James Beard award, one of the food industry’s most prestigious honors. “I feel almost relieved that I’m upholding the standards of the publication,” she says, “like I’m not dropping the ball and ruining our strong tradition.”

Micco authored the article “These Supplements May Save Your Life . . . or Not,” which was published in the magazine’s December 2006 edition. Her competition in the “newspaper, newsletter or magazine reporting on nutrition or food-related consumer issues” category includes another EatingWell article, this one by Rachael Moeller Gorman. Entitled “Miracle Up North: How the People of Finland Took a Healthy Message to Heart,” Gorman’s piece also received a nomination in the “magazine” category of the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) awards.

More incoming accolades for the Charlottebased mag: The cookbook EatingWell Serves Two, by the publication’s editor at large, Jim Romanoff, is nominated in the “healthy focus” category. The book was published by The Countryman Press of Woodstock. Countryman also put out King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking, written by the bakers at

King Arthur Flour in Norwich. The book is up for a James Beard in the “baking and dessert” category.

Vermont resident Rux Martin, cookbook editor for Houghton Mifflin, had a hand in three books nominated for awards. Baking: From My Home to Yours, by Dorie Greenspan, is nominated by the Beard Foundation and the IACP. Tasty: Get Great Food on the Table Everyday, by Roy Finamore, is up for a Beard. And 150 Best American Recipes: Indispensable Dishes from Legendary Chefs and Undiscovered Cooks, by Fran McCullough and Molly Stevens, got a nod from the IACP. Recognize that name? Stevens lives in Williston and snagged a James Beard Award in 2005 for All About Braising.

Part-time resident Christopher Kimball, editor of Cook’s Illustrated magazine, received Vermont’s only multimedia nomination as the host of the “America’s Test Kitchen” TV show.

At Countryman Press, which only publishes one or two cookbooks a year, getting two nominations is a big deal. “We’re hoping that maybe both of those will win in their categories,” says managing editor Jennifer Thompson.

Allison Furbish, media-relations coordinator at King Arthur Flour, is hoping for the company’s second win. In 2004, they picked up a Beard award for The King Arthur Flour Baker’s Companion. Furbish describes the highly regarded tome as “friendly, very all-purpose.” Perfect for a book on baking, eh?

here was a lot of anticipation one year ago when Tara and Pip Vaughan-Hughes were putting the finishing touches on a new restaurant in downtown Middlebury. After a successful run with Eat Good Food in nearby Vergennes, the couple had high hopes for a sister eatery: Eat Good Food Grill, Bar and Deli. Addison County’s shire town would at last boast its own version of the hip and luscious restaurants that have helped transform the adjacent, oncesleepy burgs of Brandon, Bristol and Vergennes into favorite foodie destinations.

But EGF stopped serving dinner in January. Its ambitious, adventuresome — and pricey — menu has been replaced by familiar yet still tasty offerings for breakfast and lunch only.

The scale-back doesn’t seem successful, though; the dramatic, high-rent setting remains sadly under-populated.

What happened? Did EGF flounder for reasons specific to its concept and execution? Or does this disappointment indicate broader issues in Middlebury’s upscale restaurant scene?

How come an elite college town can’t generate the dining buzz that hums in seemingly less sophisticated places 15 miles to the north and south?

Some proprietors of high-end eateries reject the proposition that Middlebury can’t support the equivalent of Café Provence in

Brandon, Bristol’s Inn at Baldwin Creek and, in tiny Vergennes, both Christophe’s on the Green and the Black Sheep Bistro.

“Just because Eat Good Food didn’t make it doesn’t mean that Middlebury’s not a good place to eat,” says Laurie Tully Reed, co-owner of Tully & Marie’s, on the Otter Creek near EGF. “Middlebury has some very good restaurants,” Reed insists, declaring that his own place serves “the best food between New York and Montréal.”

Reed adds, however, that “Middlebury doesn’t market itself very well.” Excitement is absent not because the town’s restaurants serve boring food but because they aren’t imaginatively publicized, he suggests.

That complaint is echoed by other restaurant owners who also see themselves as offering top-quality dining experiences.

Middlebury doesn’t do much to beckon travelers en route between Burlington and Rutland, says John Hughes, who purchased the popular Storm Café four months ago. Hughes muses that the lack of an all-purpose retail outlet, for example, diverts even some locals from respected restaurants such as his. “When you need a bathmat, you have to go to Burlington to get it,” he says. “So when you get to Burlington, you may say, ‘Let’s just get something to eat around here.’”

Unless the college is staging an event, there’s also not much reason to visit Middlebury on a weeknight. Shops in the village almost all close at 5, ensuring that

commerce on Main Street dies with the day. In the evening it’s devoid of pedestrians who might spontaneously decide to eat out.

Local business leaders realize that many diners and shoppers are bypassing Middlebury, says Dan Brown, who owns the grand Swift House Inn off Route 7 near the center of town.

The Middlebury Business Association and the Chamber of Commerce discuss the problem regularly, he reports, “but they don’t have an answer to the question of what to do about it.”

Brown and others suggest that the town has coasted too long on the reputation of its college. Presuming that the school was a sufficient draw to outsiders, Middlebury didn’t bother to conjure much magic of its own, says Tom Weiner, who manages the Swift House Inn’s American bistro-style restaurant.

In fact, the college itself is part of the problem: A decade or so ago, the school morphed into a major culinary competitor, observes Robert Fuller, owner of Leunig’s in Burlington, Pauline’s in Shelburne and the Bobcat Café in Bristol. “The students were a big factor in the success of downtown restaurants in the ’70s and ’80s,” says Fuller, who used to work at Mr. Up’s, a casual bar and eatery that still attracts plenty of Midd kids.

“Then the college opened The Grill and all sorts of dining halls. Students who used to eat in town don’t anymore.”

When students do eat offcampus — during parent week-

email food@sevendaysvt.com

ends, for example — “Mom and Dad will take them wherever they want to go,” Weiner says.

But that’s much more likely to be a relaxed place like Mr. Up’s than, say, the more formal Swift House restaurant.

The town’s tight layout poses further troubles. Chef Robert Barral of Café Provence says he first looked for a suitable spot in Middlebury before taking the “huge gamble” of opening his restaurant in Brandon.

“I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted there,” Barral recounts.

“There weren’t many spaces, and none of them seemed right.”

Only the storefronts along Main Street offer high visibility, but the narrow roadway through town makes parking nearby impossible. That proved a debilitating handicap for Eat Good Food. Motorists perceive its central location as inconvenient — even inaccessible.

“These days, everyone in a family has their own car,” Fuller notes. “You might have three or four people meeting for dinner, with three or four cars. They’re not going to meet in the center of Middlebury, that’s for sure.”

Another issue, in the case

“Tara put together a very urban menu, very slick,” Weiner says. “Most people were stumped by what she was making. She was putting items on the menu that needed an explanation.”

Hughes, whose Storm Café caters to the same eating adventurers EGF targets, agrees that “a lot of people actually aren’t educated about food.” Hughes says he noticed that some of his restaurant’s regulars shy away from unfamiliar offerings — bok choy, for example.

“It’s also intimidating to some customers to have to order from a wine list with French names they can’t pronounce,” he says.

Weiner seconds the anti-exotic observation. In his view, “There’s a patina of sophistication in Middlebury.” Food-wise, he suggests, it’s not really what it might seem to be.

Weiner recounts how a former chef at Swift House made a delicious appetizer he dubbed “artichoke beignet.” “Unless you’ve been to New Orleans,” Weiner notes, “you may not know what ‘beignet’ means. So I urged him to call it ‘artichoke fritter.’ He wasn’t interested, but that’s what we call it now.”

Ironically, Middlebury’s longstanding reputation for sophistication may also put the town at a disadvantage compared to upstart locales such as Brandon, Bristol and Vergennes. These towns formerly had so little appeal to outsiders that when high-quality food arrived there, it “made people take notice and come running,” Vaughan-Hughes asserts.

Weiner agrees that recent gentrification has given those nearby communities a cachet that Middlebury lacks. “They typically got a good restaurant,” he notes, “then a gallery opened, then some upscale shops, then maybe another restaurant.

Middlebury already had all that, so there was no room for a new place to burst onto the scene.”

Brandon presents a classic case of how the process works, Fuller says. “That market had been lagging for a number of years, so you get somebody of the quality of a Robert Barral, and that creates a lot of excitement and encourages other people to try something. Pretty soon, you’ve got some synergy going.”

Barral himself suggests the same thing can happen anyplace

There’s a patina of sophistication in Middlebury, but food-wise, it’s not really what it might seem to be.

of Eat Good Food: VaughanHughes misread the local market. So suggests the Swift House’s Weiner, who’s been part of the town’s restaurant scene since 1970. Although locals may have money, that doesn’t automatically equate with culinary sophistication. “Middlebury has never supported fine dining,” he declares. And EGF sought to position itself in that niche, says Weiner. He defines “fine dining” as excellent service, elegant ambiance, an extensive wine list and an expensive, à la carte menu — a formula that flies at Christophe’s in Vergennes.

Fuller affirms that EGF’s menu was overly ambitious. “You have to figure out what people want to eat and provide them with it,” says Fuller, whose restaurant successes speak to his authority on the subject. “You can lead them a little bit, but Tara was too far out in front of her clients.”

Pricing matters, too, as Vaughan-Hughes herself acknowledges. EGF was never as disproportionately expensive as was supposed, she says, “but that’s how it was perceived, and by the time we lowered the prices the damage had been done.”

— including Middlebury. “If you put a good restaurant in Middlebury or anywhere and try your hardest to deliver an excellent product with consistently good service, people will definitely come,” he says.

It’s a tall order, but VaughanHughes isn’t giving up. She says Eat Good Food may soon start serving dinner again, at least on Friday and Saturday. “A year from now this place will be successful,” she asserts, adding, “All I want to do is to have a beautiful space where people can eat really good food.” >

the rap game, members of

Clipse

spent time slinging contraband in urban Virginia. The band â&#x20AC;&#x201D; actually a duo comprising real-life brothers Malice and Pusha-T â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is at the forefront of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been termed â&#x20AC;&#x153;cocaine rapâ&#x20AC;? by journalists who earn their keep with such descriptors. Clipseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graphic accounts of the packaging and distribution of narcotics have garnered a surprising amount of attention from mainstream media outlets, including a feature in The New Yorker and a segment on NPRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;All Things Considered.â&#x20AC;? Gritty street tales have their voyeuristic appeal, but terse rhymes and canny production truly set Clipse apart. Hear them with locals

at

the Higher Ground Ballroom this Monday.

BY CASEY REA

BE OUR GUEST Not too long ago we ran a letter from an impassioned music fan named Matt Bushlow, who wondered why he hadn’t read any live music reports in Seven Days lately. We figured that, since his missive was so spiffy, he might wanna whip one up for us. The following is his review of last week’s concert with The Autumn Defense at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge. Look for items from other guest contributors in the coming weeks.

Pat Sansone and John Stirratt, a.k.a. The Autumn Defense, channel sunbleached summer romance and earnest heartbreak into 4-minute pop songs that are the aural equivalent of faded, soft-focus photos from the early ’70s. You know, the kind you might find in your folks’ photo albums if you happened to have been conceived on a free-spirited California road trip.

It’s somewhat unfair to reference Stirratt and Sansone’s other group when writing about TAD (they’re both full-time members of Wilco), but it’s both inevitable and appropriate.

Like their regular boss Jeff Tweedy, these guys have an uncanny ear for harmony and pretty songwriting. Still, there was something missing from their March 22 performance at HG. Most of TAD’s songs are warm and yearning, featuring acoustic guitars, lush arrangements and easygoing grooves.

The blend works well in controlled doses, such as on the bossa-nova soft rock of “Canyon Arrow” or the slow burner “Where You Are,” during which Sansone moved from guitar to piano and crooned away. But after a while the show began to feel like a self-conscious genre exercise.

Actually, TAD’s music is a lot like Sansone’s haircut: meticulously arranged, perfectly styled and nearly flawless. Maybe too flawless. You want to buy this band’s T-shirts because the design is so good; their CD packaging is luxurious, and musically they’re seasoned and professional. Not a lock out of place, but few chances taken. Perhaps that’s fine. I’m not saying these guys have to play anything other than what they do. Sansone and Stirratt are both gifted pop writers and performers; they’ve chosen their path and they make beautiful music together.

But for all their fine songcraft, the feeling of real sorrow and longing was somehow absent. Sure, there were fleeting moments when they communicated some depth of emotion, but it hardly seemed enough.

Even the sweetest stories need a sour turn or two to hold your attention. Sansone and Stirratt would do well to learn a few more of Tweedy’s tricks: a crack of the voice, a tumble off the wagon. After all, no one is sunny or dreamy all the time — no matter what the pop songs would have you believe.

THE WIYOS

KIDS WANNA ROCK

THE AUTUMN DEFENSE

STRANGE TRANSMISSIONS A super-freaky music event is set to take place this Saturday at Burlington’s Factory Studio on 208 Flynn Ave., featuring a bunch of acts you no doubt already know and love. The show is for a good cause, too — it’s a fundraiser for the Queen City’s long-gestating, low-power community radio station, “The Radiator.”

Though it’s taken time to get up and running, it looks like the station is almost “fully operational,” to quote Star Wars’ creepy Emperor. Or so claims organizer and Radio Bean proprietor Lee Anderson. “We’ve already got the antenna and transmitter,” he says.

“This show is to raise funds for an in-studio computer.” But which variety? Mac vs. PC — the ancient rivalry continues.

The concert also serves as a CD release party for Anderson’s heavyas-hell shock-blues outfit, Cccome? (see review on page 15B). They’ll share the stage with plenty of other local talent, including Activists/Dictators, Anna Pardenik, Sons of Dawn, El Paso, The 78s, The Cripples and Tell No One. If that lineup doesn’t rock you silly, nothing will.

Showtime is at 9 p.m.; tickets are $10. See you there?

FRIDAY 3/30

SATURDAY 3/31

THE ZAMBONIS

Sunday is traditionally a family day, a time to relax and kick it with your closest peeps. But if you’ve got children, you know that it’s often tough to keep ’em entertained while you battle the Times crossword puzzle. So why not take a breather and catch a kid-friendly musical matinee with James Kochalka Superstar and The Zambonis?

The two bands will rock the tots at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge on April 1. That’s right, it’s April Fools’ Day — the perfect time to get a little wacky.

Kochalka recently released an online album geared toward young ’uns. Called Why Is the Sky Blue?, the record collects JKS’ non-pottymouthed numbers, of which there are a surprising few. If you wanna sing along at the show, you should probably download it from iTunes.

Like, right now.

The Zambonis perform songs exclusively about hockey. And they’ve yet to run out of material, which frankly blows my mind. Though the real-life sport can get pretty violent, The Zambonis have promised to keep it clean in the “rink.” Here’s a cool bit of news about the group: One of their ditties, “I Wanna Drive the Zamboni,” will appear on the soundtrack to Blades of Glory, an upcoming skate-comedy flick starring Will Ferrell.

The HG show costs $8 advance, $10 day of show. Puck drop is at 1 p.m.

And maybe the older kids can stick around for the hardcore and metal showcase that gets under way at 6 p.m. It, too, is all-ages, but hardly soft ’n’ fuzzy. Appearing on the bill are loudsters Blinded By Rage, A Vicious Cycle, Beyond These Walls, Half Past Human and Brother Through Glass. I betcha none of those dudes do crosswords, but they no doubt scream a few. Visit www.HigherGroundMusic.com for more info.

Back then, there wasn’t much attention paid to genres — blues and ragtime rubbed elbows with country-folk and swing, and performers regularly copped each other’s tunes. Comedy was also a part of many a repertoire, a fact not lost on these lads, who incorporate silent film-style pratfalls into their raucous sets. A full-time road act, The Wiyos bring their vintage sound to Club Metronome this Thursday. Joining them are locals the Powder Kegs and May Fly, as well as Brooklyn’s The Sweetback Sisters.

WAITING FOR A MIRACLE, WAITING FOR A MIRACLE

(Self-released, CD)

(Hotfoot Records, CD)

Ask 10 teenagers for a definition of “emo” and you’ll likely receive 10 different answers, several anguished looks and at least one lone teardrop, meandering down the side of a mascara-clad, side-bang-covered face. Investigate further and you’ll encounter all manner of sub-genre hair-splitting. As the kids themselves might say, “Dude, if you have to ask . . .”

One thing, at least, is certain: Burlington’s Waiting For a Miracle are a talented emo-core band. The group’s self-titled debut — released on Hotfoot Records and recorded by Unearth’s Ken Susi — rocks, shreds and weeps in all the appropriate ways. This is emo, after all.

Hans Olsen (ex-Drowningman) and Matt Barron’s guitars crunch behind precise and occasionally spastic metal riffs, as Ben Fine’s bass lines thump. Former Fallback front man Matthew O’Neil provides soaring, angsty vocals.

I do love me some good hardcore drumming, and in Burlington it doesn’t get better than Drowningman vet Joe Villemaire. Here, he rocks in ways that would make your average jam-band drummer’s head explode.

Numerous tempo changes and breakdowns are common to the many strains of hardcore. WFAM truly excel at such displays of technicality, often switching gears three and four times in a single song. The changes in “End This Tonight” and “Don’t Say I Do” are particularly impressive.

A note to aspiring emo-core bands: If you can’t “break it down,” switch to country. The subject matter is similar and it’s certainly easier to play.

Speaking of subject matter, what would you honestly expect from a band called Waiting For a Miracle? If you said heart-wrenching pathos, you’d be correct. Even the album’s track listing reads like a page from Nick Drake’s diary.

Although O’Neil ably conveys anguish, he doesn’t offer much beyond your average heart-on-sleeve musings. This isn’t uncommon in emo, and it’s not necessarily a deal breaker for fans of the genre. Still, it’s safe to say the lyrics lack depth. I get it: You’re sad. Now explain why, without saying “it hurts.”

All told, this is a strong debut from a gifted local band. Waiting For a Miracle contains enough pop sparkle for the MTV set, while rocking hard enough to satisfy Rites of Spring/Jawbreaker purists. Who says you can’t have it both ways?

Catch WFAM’s CD release party on March 28 at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge with The Maneuvers and Orion.

There’s nothing new about sticking a harmonica player in front of a rollicking rhythm section and locking into a groove. Pop your head into any number of bars in any number of locales on any given night, and there’s a decent chance you’ll hear a ragtag group of musicians pounding their way through some variety of “the blues.”

What’s enticing about Burlington’s wickedly named Cccome? is how they slyly fuck with the notion of bluesrock, twisting stomach-turning clichés into something altogether more inventive — and far stranger.

On this, their self-titled debut, Cccome? trick out the traditional bass/drums/harp triad with the addition of electric mandolin — or “mandolin electrique,” as these cats put it. Although the result sounds not that different from a Stratocaster wailing through a Marshall stack, the vibe is totally different: This is a wild, ego-shredding soul-blues — not by instrumentation or name but by sheer emotional heft.

Cccome? sidestep second-hand 12-bar by adding elements of Eastern European and gypsy music, which drive their tunes into intriguing new territories.

The group — featuring Meistah on mandolin, Jarmac T. Harvys on bass, Chris Kiper on drums and Smokey Knolls on harmonica/vocals — kicks up a curling, smoky groove on “Bateau,” as Knolls shouts French lyrics into a bullhorn.

“Out” careens at breakneck speed, broken only by tribal drum fills and depraved, throat-scarring vocals. Opener “Train” is a brief instrumental that makes plain the band’s musical modus operandi. The guitar, er, mandolin rips and shreds, while the bass and drums provide a clattering backdrop for wild harp flourishes.

In “Limousine” the band settles into a head-nodding stomp before slowing for a series of spacious verses. The result is not unlike Camper Van Beethoven mashed together with some of The Pixies’ oddest cuts.

By the time the album blazes to a close after 46 minutes, it’s hard not to have been steamrolled by this lurching, swaggering mass of sound. Cccome? rock harder than most bands Burlington bands have ever dared to, and they do so without delivering a single derivative note. Here’s to the weird. CCCome? plays every Monday in April at Red Square, you can also catch them at a benefit for low-power FM station “The Radiator” at 208 Flynn Ave this Saturday.

GIVE WAR A CHANCE ::

Straight out of the L.A. suburbs come

Cold War Kids,

the latest band to get the indie cognoscenti in a tizzy. The group, like many of today’s fresh-faced rockers, leans heavy on post-punk for inspiration. But CWK also owe a debt to the blues and late singer-guitarist Jeff Buckley, whose influence can be heard in front man Nathan Willett’s own tremulous croon. It’s a potent mix that, while not entirely original, makes for earnest and invigorating indie-rock. Modern music fans are a fickle lot, but it’s a good bet Cold War Kids aren’t just a flash in the pan.

sotto voce Think of Brazilian music, and the list of samba-influenced improvisers that comes to mind includes both bossa nova pioneer Antonio Carlos Jobim and bossa-electronica songstress Bebel Gilberto. Add Luciana Souza to the list. The Brazilian-born vocalist is famed for her rhythmic phrasing and for her crossover classical work with preeminent symphonies. This Friday, Souza provides sultry interpretations of works by Spanish modernist composer Manuel de Falla and cuttingedge contemporary Osvaldo Golijov, as well as Brazilian songs arranged

by Sergio Assad. The world-class Los Angeles Guitar Quartet backs up her sexy cadences with groovy lounge beats on classical axes.

scene@ GREEN MOUNTAIN FILM FESTIVAL

KENNETH TURAN, UNITARIAN CHURCH VESTRY, MONTPELIER, SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 10 A.M. & ALBERT MAYSLES, CITY HALL ARTS CENTER, MONTPELIER, 1:45 P.M. pHoTo: JeB waLLaCe-BrodeUr

Daffodils brightened the corners of Montpelier’s Unitarian Church vestry as Kenneth Turan intoned a prophecy. “We are headed for a time of censorship and repression,” he warned.

The venerable film critic for National Public Radio and The Los Angeles Times was in town as a guest of the 2007 Green Mountain Film Festival. Programmed by Savoy Theater owner Rick Winston, the 9-year-old fest brought 38 films to the capital this year.

Turan said Hollywood needs to control its penchant for extreme violence. The midmorning audience, which included such local luminaries as Scudder Parker, murmured in agreement.

Does he enjoy ripping bad films apart? Sure, said Turan. “But it’s a short-term pleasure — like empty calories.”

Some film buffs had just time for lunch before shuffling into City Hall Arts Center — an appropriately dusty, unassuming space for the screening of a pioneering work of cinéma vérité. But the introductory festival short, by local filmmaker Art Bell, was all style.

“Ringing cellphone? Thumbscrews,” it promised.

No cellphones were heard during Salesman, a 1968 doc about down-and-out Bible hucksters. Directors Albert and David Maysles are also responsible for such landmark films as Gimme Shelter, which accidentally caught a murder on film. When the film ended, 80year-old documentarian Albert Maysles sat before a packed crowd to answer questions.

White-haired and yellow-socked, Maysles said he made his first documentary “on a lark,” in a Soviet mental hospital; when he arrived, he wasn’t sure how to use a camera.

These days he’s crossing the country by rail, filming conversations with Americans who have stories to tell. Why is he still at it? For Maysles, making docs is all about connecting people: “I enjoy so much seeing the world and passing it on to the rest of the world,” he said.

Judging by the teenager who stood outside City Hall, trying to snag a ticket to the sold-out screening of Maysles’ Grey Gardens, he may have connected with a generation that doesn’t know Altamont from catamount.

“...they frolic through classic western swing, vintage pop, and country chestnuts, and their own clever, timeless tunes. Arbo’s voice is smart and sultry, with winking nuances that seem always to be sharing secrets with us. Her fiddle is at once elegant and sinewy, shimmering with sly wit and mystery. She is, in all the important ways, already a star of the first order.”

— The Boston Globe “Arbo has a soft touch and love for swing music that shines through in her fiddle playing. More importantly, the lady has a drop-dead gorgeous voice. When she purrs, it’s mighty hard not to purr back...”

NOH PROBLEM Supernatural subjects and a “Twilight Zone” mood are de rigueur for Japanese noh theater, a slow-moving, musical art form that’s been around since the 14th century. Avant-garde theater auteur Takeshi Kawamura elaborates on the freaky vibe of two traditional noh plays by turning them into contemporary one-acts, set in Tokyo. Aoi, a drama with roots in Murasaki Shikibu’s 11th-century novel The Tale of Genji, takes place in a celebrity hair stylist’s salon. (The coiffeur gradually realizes that the ghost of his former lover is haunting his new client in a vicious circle of jealousy.) In Komachi, a down-and-out filmmaker ventures into the dark past of an iconic screen star. The Setagaya Theater of Tokyo stages both plays at the Hop during one of only four U.S. tour stops.

INSTRUMENTAL HEALTH All instruments need to be played regularly to keep them in fine fettle. This is especially true of the rare violins made by 18th-century Italian luthier Antonio Stradivari, which are credited with the sweetest sounds of all stringed instruments. At a concert by the renowned Borromeo String Quartet, central Vermonters can hear a Strad in person â&#x20AC;&#x201D; founding violinist Nicholas Kitchen has the use of an instrument made by the masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son in 1728. With 17 years of ensemble experience, the foursome displays a caliber of musicianship thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rivaled only by their riveting emotional engagement with the material. The quartet delivers Beethoven and Shostakovich, and Montpelier flutist Karen Kevra joins them for compositions by Alberto Ginastera and Arthur Foote.

An adult-oriented evening show adds comedy sketches by the four drag queens of the House of LeMay, then the Chrome Cowboys lasso everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inner rodeo clown at a boot-stomping dance party.

If you’re looking for relationships, dates, flirts, or to hook-up, this is your scene.

WOMEN seeking MEN CUTE LOVER LOOKING FOR LOVE I’m an easy-going, fun-loving individual. I love to spend my time outdoors and exploring.

My goal is to see the world. I want to find someone who has a sense of humor, good sense of style and who is looking for someone to cuddle and spend time with!! Most importantly I want someone that I can be myself with. shannon2285, 21, l, #104371 KIND, INTELLIGENT, DISCERNING, RESPECTFUL, FUN-LOVING I like to go for walks, picnic, see movies, dine out/in, talk, see an athletic event, play cards; I love the woods and waterfalls. I didn’t expect to find myself alone at this time of my life. I want someone to share conversation, affection, and time with me. I miss giving hugs and holding hands. Friendship and fun is a great start. guardianangel, 53, l, #104368 WHO ME? Yeah you’re reading this. Now you might be questioning why. Well, I think its because you would like to find a outgoing, genuine, caring, artsy, creative, fun-loving lady. If so, keep reading. If not, stop and move onto the next one. wh0m3, 28, l, #104328 COOK UP SOMETHING WITH ME! I am sensitive & independent. I value the simple things in life. I like staying home on a Saturday night, listening to NPR, making dinner and lighting a fire, or going out for arts and culture. I am looking for someone to compliment me, who has his own interests but also shares some of mine. Email me to learn more! fireweed, 36, #104325 MUD, BLOOD, BEER I like pissing outdoors, hot baths, being in the woods, traveling to 3rd world cities, getting sweaty and getting dirty, firing off my capgun, skinny-dipping, building fires, naps, the ocean, being manic, illegal things, laughing ‘till it hurts, sleeping outside, the stars... No pleated pants, white zinfindel drinkers, needy men, beer bellies, living with mom, shoes with tassels, decaf drinkers. Lazerbeam, 29, l, #104312

ARE YOU UPBEAT? ME, TOO! I am a kind, independent, busy mom. I like sports, being outside, reading, cooking and board games. I would like a person in my life who would like to share their interests and mine- going to the movies, walking on the waterfront, an occasional concert. If you are outgoing, funny, and comfortable with yourself, I would like to hear more. springahead, 43, l, #104302 TIRED OF BEING ALONE? i am looking for a male between the ages of 25-45 for some fun. I enjoy all different walks of life. I need someone to bring spark back into my life. My life has been devoted to my children and my ex. Friends first, maybe if we hit it off something more. pjsw624, 28, #104294 FRIENDLY, COMPETITIVE, SELFCONTRADICTING, PROFESSIONAL, PARTYGIRL! What I’m NOT looking for: boozers, druggies, lazy guys without jobs, liars, cheaters, married men and lame-asses. What I’m looking for: Handsome, self-confident (but not arrogant), motivated, passionate man to share great conversation/dinner. Prefer someone who isn’t afraid to hit the slopes and play a few rounds of golf with the possibility of being beat by a girl. mustlovegolf, 32, l, #104265 LOOKING TO SHARE THE FUN I’m an enthusiast about life and a postitive person with a good sense of humor. I love to laugh and enjoy life. If you’re energetic and excited about life send me an e-mail. You never know what is around the next corner - maybe it is you. marymarsha, 43, u, l, #104238 I GOT A CATHOLIC BLOCK ...and its blood orange red. You have to recognize your own depth. All the time. A lot of times, we censor ourselves before the censor even gets there. Don’t think because you haven’t heard from me for a while that I went to sleep. I am still here, like a spirit roaming the night. Thirsty, hungry, seldom stopping to rest. KapaChow, 25, u, l, #104236 WARM HEARTED BBWOMAN Answer this ad and find out! Vtplussize, 51, #104219

SOUL SEEKER Attractive; intelligent; independent; physical fit woman, spontaneous and adventurous.

Likes to read; go to movies; dine out. A passionate person who adores romantic\ intimate moments. Favorite place to dance; in the rain on a warm summer night. Looking for a man who wants a partner in life, a soul mate.

A man who is attractive, successful, confident, ambitious, assertive, and 6’+. sunshine41, 41, #104251

CITY OF THOUSANDS, WHERE’S ONE? I have no doubt that I am desirable and a surprise. I gravitate toward: Wit, intelligent, accomplished, cultured, global, confident, curious, empathetic, generous, goofy, compassionate, tall, lean, great smile, not Mr. Perfect. I’m not interested in thousand typed words of me, you, and the life once lived. Let a photo and conversation over Sunday brunch be the guide to 1/1000s. MeYou, 28, l, #104213

SMART SEXY MOTHER The best thing to do is send me a note and I’ll go from there. Just looking to share my world with the right person. sapphirejem, 40, l, #104295

HIKING PARTNER? Teacher, artist, hiker, paddler. In the last few weeks I have walked in the woods under the full moon, watched a bobcat pad softly across the snow, fallen asleep in front of the fire while wind blew outside. And I have wrapped these experiences around me with delight, but it would be awfully nice to share conversation, laughter and trails. aelfwine, 46, #103655

Shy. loyal, romantic, witty, professional who loves to travel, football and my John Deere. I would love to come back in my next life as a carpenter. Seeking new relationships (28-40) and possibly more if the chemistry is right.

CajunQueen, 33, #104333 .....LOOKING TO FIND....?!?!! ...now we get to the, describe yourself and what you’re looking for in three sentences section. Well, I’m new to Vermont, so I could probably use a tour guide with intimate knowledge of how to make it, as a lesbian in VT. As far as describing myself is concerned, I can sum it up in one sentence, My Journey is my destination. Bikerbreed, 33, l, #104323 CHILL, FUN, LOVER I once took a quiz that descibed me as “student dyke”. I feel it’s when two people can be silent around each other that there is something. I can be funny... but sometimes I’m the only one that gets my jokes. I’m a film major, so I love when people introduce me to their favorite films.

WANTING A FABULOUS SEX PARTNER I enjoy sex immensely and am comfortable and confident with my body and my sexuality.

Having said that....I’m looking for tall, confident but not cocky, attractive men who are great kissers. I’m one of those lucky women who are multi-orgasmic when the connection is right on.

ANIMAL MAGNETISM & FIERY FREEDOM My mate and I just split, and while I’m delighted to have my freedom, I’m still going to need a little physical affection on the side.

One night stands would be ok, long-term stringless “arrangement” might be even better.

For this kind of thing, physical attractiveness and animal magnetism is the primary concern, aside from being disease free. I’m BiF,28,d/df.

“KISS ME AWAKE” Sleeping Beauty, most of my thoughts glide to a fantasy place where I am kissed awake by a man who knows what a real woman must have to survive. Kisses everywhere on her body create heat that few understand. Her gaze is locked into his, she cannot find or loose herself anywhere except into his deep deep world of desire. Hugs2u, 46, #103433

Dear Mistress Maeve, Sex with my new boyfriend is really good, perhaps too good. The last time I had an orgasm with him, I squirted. I’ve heard that some women can ejaculate, but I didn’t think I was one of those women. It was really embarrassing — my boyfriend thought it was pee and kind of freaked out. Plus, we had to stop in the middle of everything and change the sheets — it totally ruined the mood.

I’m confused. What is my body ejaculating and how can I make it stop?

Thanks, Stuck in the Wet Spot Dear Wet Spot, Why so glum? Do you have any idea how many women practice and practice and still can’t squirt? The liquid being released from your urethra upon orgasm is not pee — it’s a clear liquid that is generated in your Skene’s glands (often called the G-spot). The Skene’s glands are the female equivalent of the male prostate. When you’re aroused, your G-spot area becomes engorged and releases liquid into the urethra that may squirt out upon orgasm. Some studies say that the majority of women ejaculate from the urethra during sex, but in small, undetectable amounts.

I wish I could reference more research about female ejaculation, but unfortunately, science likes to ignore female sexual function — especially when it comes to bodily fluids. Not too long ago menstruation was thought to cause livestock to die and crops to fail. Nowadays, we’re bombarded by ads for products, from douche to deodorant, that are designed to disguise all our odiferous fluids. Heck, even sanitary pads now come with a heavily scented wipe attached. The message is loud and clear: Women are not supposed to secrete unsightly or pungent fluids. Well, guess what? We do!

Don’t stifle your squirting skill — embrace it. Most female ejaculators can only squirt when über-aroused, so your man should feel like a stud for making you shoot. You deserve to have orgasms and not
