weeklypost The best of the Vermont blogosphere COMPILED BY CATHY RESMER
Blog: Candleblog
MARKETING MISOGYNY? We would like to applaud Darrell Crawford Morris et al. for their letter last week in which they draw attention to the prominence of American Apparel advertisements in our beloved weekly. We are disappointed in a company that claims to participate in socially responsible business practices while its marketing campaign strays far from the mark of a “socially conscious” business. American Apparel seeks to identify itself as a leader in the culture of fashion — as they state in their mission, “We’re just out to try something different, to make a buck, to bring people the clothes they love, to be human, and have a good time in the process.” They do not claim to be above profit-making ambitions, and concede to err — exactly, because they are human. It is for this candor that we challenge American Apparel to recognize the negative implications of its marketing. We also challenge Seven Days to consider the message it sends by providing prominent space to post these ads. Complacency to representations of women in a culture already seeped with misogyny to the tune of trying “to make a buck” is a disservice to your readership as well as the broader community. Removing these ads would send a strong message to AA that Vermont rejects their exploitative marketing tech-

HAS ANYONE MENTIONED THAT COMCAST SUCKS? ...I mean lately? So our cable got disconnected. This is not the part that makes Comcast suck — we were late paying our bill. What sucks is that even though I paid the bill 24 hours after the cable went off, they informed me that we had already been “hard” disconnected, meaning that a technician actually came to the house and physically unhooked us (as opposed to a “soft” disconnect, where they just flip a switch at the office). Okay, so ignoring the fact that you can’t get a freaking technician to your house to fix a problem in anything less than 3 business days but they were Johnny-on-the-spot to unhook us when we were a little late with the check, I had to pay a $30 reconnect fee for the cable and (here comes the Louis Black red-face) another $30 reconnect fee for the Internet!!! It’s one coaxial line that has to be reconnected! I understand that they need to send the tech back out to my house and that they expect me to pay for that, but why am I paying extra because I order more data through their one single pipe??? Burlington Telecom can’t get to my neighborhood fast enough. Posted May 9 by Bill Simmon

GRATIAS TIBI AGO Thanks so much for Eva Sollberger’s vlog of Latin Day [“Stuck in Vermont,” sevendaysvt. com.] It’s fantastic!! My students were really excited to see themselves and their projects, and I was excited to see such great coverage and representation of the event. Thanks again. Meghan Holland SOUTH BURLINGTON
Meghan Holland is a Latin teacher at Lamoille Union High School. BEE TRUE It is true, honeybee colonies across the country are suffering from some unknown ailment, which may — and, given globalization patterns, probably will — find its way to Vermont. There is very little good news for the honeybee or the honey farmer [“Buzz Kill,” May 2]. However, in the long run, this may be good news for U.S. agriculture and land use. In addition to the non-native honeybee, there 2x3-frontporch.pdf 5/11/07 are thousands of species of bees that are native (local is good!) and
perfectly capable of providing pollination services. Unfortunately, most of these native species are not adaptable to boxes that can be managed and moved around the country. Instead, they require intact native habitat, floral resources and that pesticides are not abused. Research has shown that, given sufficient patches of native habitat, native bees can and will provide all necessary pollination services. If this bee dilemma causes farmers to create native habitat patches on their farms in conjunction with large agricultural fields and use pesticides more responsibly, farmers will reduce costs on: pollination (native bees are free!); irrigation (native habitat would provide wind breaks or hedgerows protecting fields); and pesticide use. Moreover, this native bee habitat would also provide nesting and corridor habitat for plants and other wildlife. While the news of the honeybee demise is certainly not all good, there might be light at the end of the tunnel! For more information on native bee pollination, please see www.ars.usda.gov/npa/beelab.

revisionist history here? The document most certainly was classified when Sen. Leahy gave it to a reporter and, when questioned, he denied it. Only when the document was shown on TV with his identifying code number did Mr. Leahy admit to it. The document was later declassified, and Mr. Leahy tried to use that as cover, saying it could not have been that sensitive to begin with. Sen. Leahy did not simply leak a story to a reporter; he gave his own code-numbered copy of
the classified report to the reporter, who promptly put it on TV. This resulted in Sen. Leahy being dismissed from the Senate Intelligence Committee. A simple oversight or misunderstanding on your part, Mr. Freyne? Lee Bowen SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY
TYPO TRAUMA Please give me a job proofreading Seven Days before publication. The article “Child’s Play?� [May 9] has as its subtitle, “An excersise-
obsessed mom shifts into baby gear.� Excersise? Not quite right. This is my most hated word in the English language, since it resulted in dismissal from my seventh-grade spelling bee. I got stage fright, you see, and put that extra C in there. Although I did spell the end of it right . . . Regardless. Please proofread better (or let me do it) so I don’t have to relive my childhood trauma. Thank you. Laura Carpenter SOUTH BURLINGTON
IVORY TOWER POLITICS While educational institutions are a prime place for demonstrations to highlight issues, I think college students should consider that the college campus is not the only place to demonstrate [“Tent City Sparks Student-Activist Policy Debate, May 2]. If they really wanted to make an effort to help the community in general, they should consider petitioning the local governments for permits to protest around the city on issues affecting more than just their campus. How about demonstrating to the state government to raise the state minimum wage so all people can earn a “livable wage?� By limiting their demonstrations to issues affecting only the university and focusing their demonstration activities to just the university grounds, the students demonstrate their isolation from the “real world� in which the rest of us struggle to survive. Carl LaShomb ELLENBURG, NY
THE ‘JOY’ OF FOOD STAMPS? Suzanne Podhaizer’s experiment in buying organic/local/natural foods with the money allotted to foodstamp recipients [“Stayin’ Alive,â€? May 9] seems patronizing, disingenuous and naĂŻve. Among the obvious flaws is the unspoken premise: If economically disadvantaged people do not eat a healthy diet, it’s their own fault, and, with some cleverness, they might emu-
late the middle and upper classes by copying their shopping and cooking habits. Podhaizer’s unrealistic regime fails on many counts: She omits spices from her total cost, which is absurd. Pound for pound, they are among the most expensive grocery items; I doubt many people receiving food assistance maintain such a comprehensive storehouse. Many poor people also lack the leisure and culinary expertise of Podhaizer. The expectation that people under economic duress will adapt recipes from The Joy of Cooking is improbable, if not ludicrous. Moreover, City Market, where she shopped, is exclusively and prohibitively pricey for many in Burlington. I grew up in a family that was “working poor.� Though we never got food assistance (some relatives did), it was not always easy to make ends meet. When I think of my working mother coming home exhausted, dealing with kids, the house, bills, etc., and then presumably whipping up a loaf of oatmeal bread and scavenging the neighborhood for fiddlehead ferns (as per Podhaizer), I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Economic inequality in Burlington is a very real problem, one that deserves more serious attention than a trip to an upscale market to implement an offensively labeled “Food Stamp Diet.� Jim Blynt BURLINGTON

JOHNSON — Luma Mufleh recalls nodding off as the commencement speaker droned on at her Smith College graduation ceremony 10 years ago. Mufleh herself, the head of an unusual boys’ soccer program in Georgia, is determined to inspire, not tire, listeners when she delivers the commencement address at Johnson State College on May 19. “I want to tell personal stories,” the 31-year-old Jordanian says of the speech she is still composing. “I want to connect and encourage people to do things they may never have thought they could do.” She’ll probably succeed, judging from The New York Times’ account of Mufleh’s own story. That front-page feature last January was what prompted JSC
to invite Mufleh to speak to its 388 graduating seniors. Mufleh volunteered three years ago to coach the Fugees, a set of three boys’ soccer teams. Grouped by ages, which range from 9 to 17, the teams consist entirely of refugees from shattered countries such as Afghanistan, Bosnia, Congo, Iraq, Somalia and Sudan. Coach Luma, as she is known to the Fugees and their parents, recruited players in the small town of Clarkston, Georgia, by circulating flyers in Arabic, French and Vietnamese as well as English. Refugees drawn by the availability of affordable housing and proximity to jobs in Atlanta have transformed Clarkston into one of the most polyglot places in the United States. The mosque — in a town

VERMONT — Luma Mufleh will receive a $500 stipend for her May 19 address on Johnson’s campus, along with a matching donation to the all-refugee soccer teams she coaches. But paid commencement speakers are more the exception than the rule in Vermont. Graduation headliners typically receive nothing more than honorary degrees from the institutions whose invitations they accept. “To pay someone being honored seems a bit awkward,” says St. Michael’s College provost Bill Wilson. National Public Radio political commentator Cokie Roberts is scheduled to address St. Mike’s graduates on May 17. Retired Air Force Gen. Richard Myers, a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, spoke at Norwich last Sunday. The University of Vermont will be following its general nonpayment rule in the case of Georgia Congressman John Lewis, who has agreed to speak at the school’s 203rd commencement on May 20. “The norm at UVM is that we pay only travel expenses for our commencement speakers, although we have paid a very occasional honorarium in the past,” says university spokesman Jeff Wakefield. Middlebury College also books only those graduation orators willing to forego their often-formidable fees. Bill Clinton, for example, gets around $150,000 per appearance, but the former president will get only a handshake when he speaks at Middlebury’s May 27 commencement. On one occasion, however, Midd did contribute to a designated foundation at a speaker’s request, notes John Emerson, secretary of
the college. The process of choosing a commencement speaker at a Vermont college or university ranges from highly structured to informal. At Middlebury, which may have the most rigorous system, the selection process for next year’s commencement speaker is already underway. A committee made up of college trustees, faculty, students and Emerson meets in April and again in November to sift the 40 to 50 nominees offered most years by members of the Middlebury community. A short list of eight names is eventually forwarded to the college president, who makes the choice in consultation with trustees. Standard procedures were not followed in Clinton’s case, however. Starting in the fall, Middlebury navigated back channels opened by well-connected alumni to arrange the ex-president’s appearance. Clinton hadn’t been on any list of nominees because “we didn’t imagine we could get him to speak here,” Emerson says. Commencement speakers are also recruited through a formal process at both St. Michael’s and UVM. Emphasis is placed on students’ involvement at St. Mike’s, Wilson says, noting, “It is their day.” Often, however, students will suggest “mostly celebrity-type names, which are not always helpful,” Wilson adds. The small, Catholic college may not have much chance of engaging a Hollywood or hiphop star. In addition, Wilson says, St. Michael’s officials ask in regard to high-voltage personalities, “Is what they’re about what we’re about? Speakers need to represent the values of the college.” � — K.K.
with 7100 residents — draws more than 800 to Friday prayers, the Times reported. There’s also a Hindu temple as well as congregations of Vietnamese, Sudanese and Liberian Christians. Clarkston’s only burger joint is run by an Iraqi. By combining the roles of disciplinarian and social worker, Mufleh has managed to meld diversity and harmony — and to win quite a few soccer matches in the process. “They do get along with one another,” she says of her multicolored players whose lives have often been scarred by racial, religious or ethnic hatreds. “The Bosnians hang out with kids from Congo on the weekends.” Tolerance doesn’t always reign, however, when the Fugees play mostly white teams in what’s still a Deep South state. “They yell racial slurs at our kids,” Mufleh relates. “Those players hear their parents doing it.” Coach Luma’s message to Vermonters will be to affirm their own state’s growing diversity. At Johnson State, for example, students from 22 countries are included in an enrollment that remains 96 percent white, according to Ken Schexnayder, dean of institutional advancement. “The demographics of America are changing and Vermont is changing, too,” notes Mufleh, who occasionally visited Brattleboro during her college years in Northampton, Mass. “With the Fugees, we’re hoping to create a model so other people can follow our lead.” Coach Luma, who comes from a well-off family in Jordan, motivates her players off the field, too. Mufleh helps arrange tutoring for many of her players, and with her fluent Arabic and French she’s able to help some families navigate government bureaucracies. Mufleh has also started a home and office cleaning company called Fresh Start that employs refugee women at pay rates well above what they were receiving as maids in local hotels. When contacted by Johnson, Mufleh had a choice to make: accept the school’s invitation or attend the 10th reunion of her Smith College class taking place the same weekend. She didn’t take long to decide. “It’s a lot more powerful for me to connect with the students at Johnson,” she says. “Speaking there will be more meaningful than getting together with friends and rehashing our college days. “Johnson is the kind of school my kids will go to,” she adds, referring to the Fugees. “I understand it has mostly working-class students and students that are the first generation in their family to go to college. A place like that will be the only way my kids will get out of the cycle of poverty.” Schexnayder says Johnson State is equally honored to host Mufleh. “One of the values important to us here is the notion of service to the community,” he says. “Coach Luma’s life has pretty much exemplified that.” �

BURLINGTON — At Bibens Ace Hardware on North Avenue, you can buy all the standard DIY paraphernalia: paint, grass seed, light bulbs, plungers, stud-finders, mousetraps. Not so standard is what’s for rent. Near the exit door, a life-sized cardboard poster of a handsome young man in a tool belt advertises the store’s repair

She claims Rick Bibens fol-

Since the “Rent-aHusband” program launched, a number of neighbors have criticized Ace — in letters to the editor, and on blogs and local listservs — for perpetuating negative gender stereotypes. Such clichéd characterizations “limit how people understand the capacities and potential of men and women,” as John Grimm put it in a post on his neighborhood Front Porch Forum. Sarah Mell of Washington Street and her lesbian partner see it as another “inherent mark of heterosexism in the world” — not to mention “sexism in general.” Gail Compton is more plainspoken. “It’s insulting to men, and it’s insulting to women,” says the sin-
lowed her outside and angrily announced, “I never want you in my store again. You’re banned for life. We don’t need customers like you.” General Manager Brian Baird tells a different story. Speaking for his vacationing boss, who is usually at his Springfield, Vermont, store, Baird says Bibens hasn’t been in the North Avenue location for three weeks. He says he heard about Compton’s altercation — with another manager — and claims it was all captured on the in-store camera. After describing Compton as a “very good customer,” Baird explains, “There are times when you fire a customer, but that was not the case here. The manager was saying, ‘Listen, I’m sorry you have this issue.’ In no way did he say anything about banning her.” Baird downplays negative reac-

tion to the Rent-a-Husband program, a Portland, Maine-based franchise — not an Ace invention — that Bibens and company “rolled out” to meet customer needs in the area. “They were saying they couldn’t rely on contractors. We’d recommend someone, and suddenly he was no longer there. This gave us a secure individual we could recommend to get various tasks done and completed: installing door locks, replacement windows, even moving furniture.” Baird estimates the “Rent-aHusband” service is currently generating enough business to keep one guy busy for 40 hours a week. Does he look like “Julio the Pool Guy,” as Compton describes the dude in the poster? “Probably not,” Baird admits. He adds, “The most successful Rent-a-Husband franchise is female-owned, and they wouldn’t fit, either.” Exactly, the program’s opponents would say. “I know there are many men who don’t pick up a tool and women who do,” Grimm notes in his post. Why not call it “Rent-an-Ace,” or “Rent-an-Extra-Hand” — as Henri de Marne suggested in a letter in Monday’s Burlington Free Press? Of course, there’s always the chance the campaign’s catchy name will backfire for reasons that have nothing to do with political correctness. “The image isn’t a good image as far as I’m concerned,” Compton observes. For her, a “husband” suggests “some guy to sit on the couch, drinking beer, while more work piles up.” �

BURLINGTON — About 90 Burlington employees and family members are saving hundreds of dollars a year in prescription drug costs through a city-run benefits plan that may violate federal law. Known as BurlingtonMeds, the 3-year-old program gives city workers and their dependents access to more than 200 medications reimported from Canada and other countries. Prescriptions filled there provide Burlington employees with an average estimated savings of 40 percent on the cost of identical drugs purchased in the United States, says Larry Kupferman, director of the city’s human resources department. Participants in Burlington Meds also do not have to make insurance company co-payments for their medications. Employees who take advantage of this benefit plan “think it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread,” Kupferman says. But is Burlington breaking the law by helping its workers avoid paying the world’s highest costs for prescription medications?
Is Burlington breaking the law by helping its workers avoid paying the world’s highest costs for prescription medications? “We never drew absolute conclusions as to the legality or illegality” of the program, says former City Attorney Joe McNeil. “To the best of my recollection,” he adds, Federal Drug Administration officials never directly threatened legal action to terminate BurlingtonMeds. Former Mayor Peter Clavelle’s administration modeled its initiative on a drug-reimportation plan for municipal workers that Springfield, Mass., pioneered in 2003. McNeil notes that Burlington was careful to follow Springfield’s lead in having beneficiaries contract as individuals with the company, CanaRx, that supplies the medications. “The FDA wasn’t enforcing against individuals making these decisions, whether by mail order or by actual visits to Canada,” McNeil says. But the feds did threaten action against Springfield for what the FDA claims were unlawful transactions facilitated by the city. However , no moves to punish Springfield were actually initiated. Springfield saved about $3 million a year through its program, in which some 1500 employees and retirees took part. But it was discontinued last year, leaving Burlington as one of only a few localities in the country willing to risk federal punishment by defying Big Pharma. Drug companies lobby expen-

The final vote on the bill from which the reimportation plan had been removed 2X2_MathewBuckley_SPEC.indd 1 10/2/06 5:20:34 PM was 93-1, with the losing side consisting of Vermont’s junior senator. The Senate-backed measure included provisions strengthening FDA oversight on drug safety. “Safe drugs are obviously important, and there are a lot of good provisions in this bill,” Sanders told the Washington Post. “But a safe drug doesn’t mean anything to somebody who can’t afford it.” Vermont Gov. James Douglas has joined Sanders and Burlington officials in the forefront of efforts to force the federal government to side with consumers rather than drug companies. The Douglas administration sued the FDA in 2004 over the issue of importing drugs from Canada. The first such move by a state proved unsuccessful, however, when a federal judge dismissed Vermont’s lawsuit the following year. Send & receive neighborhood news at: Vermont has since signed on to a prescription drug program known as I-Save Rx that allows state residents to buy brand-name drugs from Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland. Despite such initiatives, Americans’ purchases of prescription meds from Canada have declined sharply in the past year. Experts identify the Medicare Part D drug plan as a key cause for the fall-off, even though seniors are required to pay the full price of prescriptions totaling between $2250 and $5100 per year. In addition, Canada’s increasingly muscular dollar has KO’d much of the savings American medicine buyers had enjoyed earlier in the decade. U.S. border agents have also been seizing larger quantities of imported prescription drugs. Then there are concerns about the safety of prescriptions filled abroad. Kupferman cites this factor as the main reason why only 90 of well over 1000 potentially eligible city employees and dependents have placed orders through BurlingtonMeds. Such worries are unwarranted, he suggests, noting that the drugs reimported from Canada are the same as those sold in the U.S. Sanders, meanwhile, promises to fight on. In a recent speech on the Senate floor, he recalled a bus trip he organized in 1999 to help Vermonters buy lower-cost drugs in Canada. “We took women with breast cancer over the Canadian border,” said the senator. “I will never forget the look on the faces of those women who were struggling for their lives, when they bought breast-cancer medicine at 10 percent of the cost that they were paying in the State of Vermont. “How do you have a drug manufactured by a company, manufactured in the same factory, put in the same bottles, sold in Canada for one-tenth of the price that that same medicine is sold in the United States of America?” Sanders asked his colleagues. “How can that happen?” �

Vermont is quite soft on child predators.” If you missed it Monday night, do check it out online at www.foxnews.com/ oreilly. “The problem in Vermont,” according to Bill-O, “is the state has been hijacked by secular progressives.” Makes you want to move all your financial trading investments over to Scottrade, the O’Reilly sponsor, eh? Anyway, the funniest thing was that about 20 minutes later, over on MSNBC, Keith Obermann fired back. Just caught it by sheer luck — Obermann’s “World’s Worst Person” of the day contest. Guess what? O’Reilly won, beating out Ann Coulter! And won it for his hatchet job on Bill Lippert and the State of Vermont. Obermann accused O’Reilly of “again taking the term ‘stakeout’ way too literally,” telling his audience that the folks on the other channel had witnessed O’Reilly: “...sending one of his minion producers into the Vermont Statehouse in Montpelier to, with cameras rolling, pull off their third ambush of the year. This time a state legislator who Bill [O’Reilly] blamed, falsely, of course, for keeping Vermont’s laws on sex offenders ‘loose,’ while the lawmaker was eating his breakfast — oatmeal. “The lawmaker and his colleagues had voted to make those laws even tighter the day before. “So, Bill-O gets the story wrong, calls the lawmaker corrupt, and his people do some-
Welch Meets the Challenge — T’s Top Blues V Vermont’s lone member of the U.S. House of Representatives faced the “Impeach Bush & Cheney” crowd head-on Saturday on the gymnasium floor at Hartford High School in White River Junction. Like Vermont’s two U.S. Senators — Patrick Leahy (Democrat) and Bernie Sanders (Independent) — Rep. Peter Welch (Democrat) has also publicly opposed moving down the impeachment trail. Despite that, he wisely moved back the time of the Town Meeting on Impeachment, from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m., after impeachment organizers threatened to 2x5-bobcat051607.indd 1 boycott the meeting. These are, after all, his constituents. Rep. Welch also flexed his “time” mus★ cle in advance, agreeing to extend the meeting to an hour and a half. Smart. Clearly, Welchie would like to put this impeachment bubble behind him. But these are folks he represents. Most of them voted for him. And they’re passionate about the issue. The Bush-Cheney administration is certainly more than worthy of investigation “for high crimes and misdemeanors.” Without justice, they argue, how ★ can there ever be peace? Good point. Peter Welch gets an A-plus for his performance Saturday. He took all the incoming head-on. At one point, organizer Liza Earle attempted to publicly lock him into a summertime impeachment meeting in Vermont with Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio (who already has an impeachment resolution entered). Welch sprung from his chair and took the mike to let everyone know in no uncertain terms he was there to hear them out fully on impeachment — their

true cause — but not to get publicly cornered into future impeachment meetings. It was as good as we’ve ever seen Welchie improvise! The public microphones on either side of the basketball court were well used and open to all comers — dozens. And the vast majority was passionate and polite. Former Windsor County State Sens. Edgar May and Will Hunter were present and spoke, but no sign of current party-official types. Still, even on just a few days’ notice, a public meeting like that was able to attract a few of the fringe types. For example, Peter Diamondstone and Denny Morrisseau were there. Those two were allies in the old Liberty Union Days of the late 1960s, then had a falling out that appears to have endured. Diamondstone stuck with Liberty Union and the political fringe, while Morrisseau founded Leunig’s in 1980 on the corner of College and Church Streets in Burlington (since sold in the mid-1990s). Now that Denny’s restaurateur days are behind him, he’s back in the old, familiar political fringe. Nice long, white ponytail, too. Which reminds me of Welch, whose ponytail days are far behind him. Rep. Welch not only handled the incoming with firmness and grace, he also gave the impeachment mouths as much time as they wanted, sitting there in the front row listening and taking notes for two hours and 40 minutes. Should they press him for another town meeting on the subject, Welch certainly can say he’s already spent almost three hours patiently hearing everyone out. Afterwards, Welch told the two reporters who stuck around that he understood the Vermonters there had “a principled commitment to our democratic tradition, and they’re outraged the president has played fast and loose with the Constitution, played fast and loose with the truth, on the reasons he brought the nation to war.” The rookie congressman said he understands “people desperately want America to end this war. So, I find it very moving. I think that Vermonters share the passion.” But is Welch “changeable” when it comes to his opposition right now to impeaching the crook in the Oval Office? “Impeachment, I believe, is the wrong tactic,” he replied. “I think it would actually harden positions on the Republican side.” And that wouldn’t be good, according to Welchie, because
there are clear signs Republicans are softening their positions. It was significant that “you had 11 moderate Republicans telling the president the ship was sinking,” said Vermont’s representative, referring to last week’s White House visit by some leading House Republicans. “The problem we have is that George Bush is willing to go down with the ship and bring everybody with him,” said Pedro. “And the Republicans have to decide if they want to save themselves and save America.” Sounds like melting ice, doesn’t it? It’s a sound that was echoed on Monday by U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders. Ol’ Bernardo called a Burlington presser to tout the latest veterans’ reform legislation he’s introducing. But, as you know, there’s an endless war going on in Iraq. From way up here in the Green Mountains, one might wonder why Congress — now under Democrat Party control — doesn’t simply cut off funding for this trillion-dollar disaster. “The difficulty is, you have a president who would veto the legislation, that’s the reality!” said Vermont’s junior senator. “I could bring up the best bill in the world tomorrow, and yet you need 60 votes to end debate and get a vote on that bill, and you can’t do it. That’s the problem.” Damn arithmetic. Numbers don’t lie. But both Welch and Sanders gave the impression they are seeing movement amidst their GOP colleagues on Capitol Hill. Sanders also mentioned the White House visit last week by 11 GOP congressmen regarding our disastrous Iraq war. And he noted the fact that the Republicans leaked the story to all the Washington media. They wanted it out there. “And,” said Ol’ Bernardo, “apparently it was a very contentious debate. Karl Rove was not happy with that discussion.” Look, the former mayor of Burlington, Vermont, has been a regular on Capitol Hill since the current president’s father slept in the Lincoln Bedroom. Ah, the good old days! “Yes,” said Sen. Sanders, “the Republicans are very, very nervous. They lost in 2006. I believe they are understanding that if they continue to support this war they’re going to lose badly in 2008. And, yes, a number of them are rethinking their position.” Vermont’s junior senator couldn’t say whether the GOP support for President Bush II will burst tomorrow or in two weeks, but he certainly sounded confident that’s not far off. “I think you’re going to see significant change on the part of Republicans who are saying,
‘Hey, this war is not working. What the president told us was not true. And his rosy interpretation of what’s happening in Iraq does not correlate with reality.’” The fact is, said the senator, “More and more Republicans are expressing grave doubts about the president’s leadership on this one.” Both Sanders and Welch agree that, because of Capitol Hill arithmetic, it’s going to take Republican defections to cut off the presidential you-know-what. Media Notes — Word leaked out early Tuesday afternoon that the weekly Vermont Guardian is shutting down. Editor/Publisher Shay Totten put out an announcement to friends that the Guardian — since February only available online — will be closing down after its two-anda-half-year run. This week’s issue, says Totten in the press release, will be the paper’s last and will largely be composed of a “best of ” retrospective. Bummer. Also, this winter we’ve watched the changing face of the Statehouse press corps. The 2007 legislative coverage took a hit with the departure of a veritable cog in the WCAX-TV Montpeculiar news machine: Anson Tebbetts. Also bidding farewell to the reporter’s notebooks two months later was Vermont Press Bureau Chief Darren Allen. Darren’s stuff appeared in the Rutland Herald /Times Argus newspapers. Guess what they both have in common? They both left the press corps for higher-paying state jobs. Tebbetts, the Cabot farmer and bird-watcher, started in January as a deputy secretary for development over at the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets. Mr. Allen has become the new top PR person over at the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources. To tell you the truth, haven’t heard much out of either one. Probably too busy making money, eh? Then, as the session ended, word got out that Ross Sneyd, the Associated Press’ Statehouse reporter for the past 15 years, is also departing the world of the golden dome. Ol’ “Fair & Balanced” has become a reliable Montpelier fixture. Unlike Anson and Darren, Ross is not switching over to a higher-paying state government “flak” job. Instead, Ross will be taking a new position as a news producer at Vermont Public Radio in Colchester. He’ll start there in July. Best wishes, all. �

Secret Movie Night Screens Surprises at Studio STK BY MARGOT HARRISON
Sometimes, in today’s world of on-demand entertainment, it’s nice not to know what you’re getting. At the Key Sunday Cinema Club at Merrill’s Roxy in Burlington, cinephiles get the bimonthly surprise of an offbeat film that hasn’t yet hit local theaters. “Secret Movie Night,� a weekly event at Studio STK in the Old North End, operates on the same basic principle. But the films are shorter, the crowd is younger, and the whole experience feels like hanging out with your fellow movie geeks, watching some trippy stuff you found on the Internet. On a recent Tuesday night, about 15 secret movie fans showed up at the gallery and settled in chairs facing a portable projection screen. Some might have been lured by an email sent out by Will Skolochenko, the 8week-old event’s organizer, who promised “a very random assortment of animation, music and demolition derby documentaries.� By way of P.S., a followup message added, “Did I mention the zombies?� Skolochenko showed the films using a MacBook Pro connected to a projector. The promised zombies appeared in a music video. The other films ranged widely, from arty, abstract shorts by Robert Rauschenberg and David Lynch to an amazing 1912 animation by Russian Ladislaw Starewicz, featuring Edward Gorey-esque anthropomorphized insects. At the end of the night, brothers Adam and Evan Beamer, both recent grads of local colleges, showed up to introduce two films of their own. “The Anniversary,� a brisk comic
short, showcased familiar locations, ending with a duel shot in the Cherry Street parking garage. Skolochenko, 33, is a recent arrival to Burlington and works as a web designer at STK. He says he ran a similar film night when he lived in Raleigh, North Carolina, a decade ago, screening the work of “tons of local filmmakers.� While he’s working on making Vermont connections, many of the films he screens are from his own collection. “I’ve got
et, obscure, underground,� he says. “To provide something people can’t see in theaters.� Surprisingly enough, the neighborhood boasts a second secret movie night of sorts. Every Thursday, Kriya Studio at 333 North Winooski Avenue hosts “Experimental Movie Night,� where people bring their own films or favorite footage to show on a 15-by-20foot screen sewn from fabric panels. “It’s probably the same size as at the Roxy,� says organizer Ian Yaple, a 21-yearold student at Burlington College. For now, the Kriya movie night is sticking to 8- and 16millimeter films rather than going digital. Yaple, who’s shown his own films at the event, thinks it can offer something that’s missing from multiplexes. “The typical movie experience around here is that you
The experience is like hanging out with your fellow movie geeks, watching some trippy stuff you found on the Internet. a lot of public-domain footage — drive-in ads, old educational films,� Skolochenko says. “People love it.� He’s also screened his own films and animations by gallery owner Sage TuckerKetcham. While Skolochenko admits the grab bag of short films caters to “short attention spans,� he also wants to give the audience a taste of film history. “I want to keep it rather eclectic, low-budg-
kind of just go there, watch it and leave,â€? he says. “We welcome discussion.â€? Skolochenko wants people to do more than watch and leave, too. Ideally, he says, Secret Movie Night would “provide a forum for filmmakers to come and get their work seen and interact with viewers. We don’t want people just to come and watch movies; we want them to get inspired and make them.â€? ďż˝

VOCAL POINT Mi mi mi mi . . . Soon that will be the sound of music at Elley-Long — voices warming up, that is. Yes, voices. Last week, the Vermont Youth Orchestra Association announced a brandnew program: the VYO Chorus, which will be open to Vermont students in grades 8-12. The goal is to accept every qualified student who auditions; practically speaking, the final chorus might number about 100, suggests VYO Marketing Director Lisamarie Charlesworth. Music Director and choral project mastermind Troy Peters says he’s excited about the opportunity to engage “a whole new group of students,� who will have the chance to “explore major choral repertoire, work with renowned guest artists and make music at a very high level.� A nationwide search for a choral director is currently under way. At auditions next month, wannabe choristers will have to perform a song — a cappella — of their choice, match pitch with notes played on a piano, and sight-read a melody. The chosen ones will also have to sacrifice “Dancing With the Stars�: Choral rehearsals will be held Monday nights September through April at VYO HQ, the Elley-Long Music Center in Colchester. The concert season will include public performances there and at Burlington’s Flynn Center, says Charlesworth. Too bad the singers can’t join the orchestral unit on its tour of China this summer.
SPEAKING OF TALENTED TEENS When Xavier Donnelly began drawing buildings at about age 8, he never imagined it would become a capital offensive. The Burlington High School student, now 14, has just won the Congressional Art Contest — an annual competition that selects one young artist per congressional district. In Vermont’s case, of course, that means one, period. Donnelly will attend a reception in Washington, D.C., next month with his proud parents, Richard and Kate Donnelly. His composition, a black-ink line drawing of a fictional cityscape, will hang in the U.S. Capitol for an entire year. Well, it won’t be the actual drawing — the original belongs to Harry Bliss. After the Burlingtonbased New Yorker and Seven Days cartoonist fell in love with a Donnelly work at a friend’s house a couple of months back, his girlfriend bought him one for his birthday. This one. The Capitol Building gets a photocopy. Bliss, who also illustrates children’s books — including the upcoming Diary of a Fly — says he’s “seen a lot of young people’s art over the years.� He still finds Donnelly’s tightly composed and highly detailed creations remarkable. “I’d say he’s a prodigy,� Bliss enthuses. “The most remarkable thing for me is that he doesn’t use a pencil! He’s got some plan in his head where all this is going to go — the foreground, the buildings, the whole thing. It’s extremely rare.� Donnelly may have inherited the creative chromosome from his artist mother, but he talks like a normal, self-deprecating kid. Winning the prize, he says, “makes me feel pretty good — especially because the photocopy we sent wasn’t very good.� PAMELA POLSTON

WORKS BY ELMA SKOPIJAK
The Bosnian film Ovo Malo Duse (A Little Soul) opens with a grumpy grandfather explaining that women aren’t to be trusted. As he and his companions take strong swigs of sljivovica, he tells the story of Adam and Eve. When he gets to the punchline — where Eve ruins everything, in his opinion — a drinking buddy pours another glass and gives his two cents: “Bitch.�
explains, “It’s hard for Bosnian women in these situations, because tradition and family honor is very important. And as soon as anything bad happens, the media always point out the fact that it was a Bosnian-American who committed the crime.â€? Karabegoviç is one of the film festival’s main organizers and hosted its events. As she made announcements at Waterfront
I thought about myself moving between two cultures, and how doorways symbolize transformation and discovery. ELMA SKOPIJAK
A simple case of Mediterranean machismo? Maybe not, when you consider the universality of the Bible — and of violence against women. The First Bosnian Vermont Film Festival addressed the latter problem head-on last weekend with an event that aimed to both raise awareness of domestic violence and celebrate cultural diversity. Thanks to local sponsors, help from the Bosnian community and a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, Burlington-based Women Helping Battered Women and the Women’s Rape Crisis Center helped launch a two-day extravaganza of Bosnian film, poetry, dance, food and music at the Waterfront Theatre. The Bosansko Vermontski Filmski Festival, as it was billed, also premiered two public-service videos produced by WHBW about domestic violence. The Bosnianlanguage short films, subtitled in English, are intended to reach women who face language and culture barriers and need help. In one, the dialogue includes culturespecific issues such as family honor, a reluctance to contact the police, and a close-knit community’s aversion to scandal. Adna Karabegoviç, who plays one of the main roles in the film,
Theatre in an elegant black dress, her confidence and poise belied her age: She’s a senior at Burlington High School and will study French and international relations at the University of Vermont next year. “There are over 27 languages spoken in Burlington, and Bosnians make up Burlington’s biggest immigrant community,� City Councilor Clarence Davis proclaimed to applause at Saturday’s opening ceremony. “There are over 3000 Bosnian Vermonters.� After the kick-off, the Bosnian Lilies Dancing Group got the audience clapping again as they weaved and whirled to traditional Bosnian music. Their ages ranging from preschool to high school, the boys stood proudly in black slacks and white Oxfords while the girls danced in colorful, loose-fitting silk outfits. The festival’s afternoon screenings were Ovo Malo Duse (1990) by Adamir Kenovic and Danis Tanovic’s No Man’s Land (2001). Kenovic’s film is a tale of innocence that harks back to a traditional Bosnia about to be changed forever by war. No Man’s Land, which appeared in local theaters several years back, is a modern fable set during the Yugoslav wars. Stuck in the same trench together,
a Serb soldier and his Bosnian counterpart realize they have more in common with each other than with the U.N. peacekeeping soldiers. Still, they manage to kill each other in the end. After this sobering footage, festival-goers took a break with food, painting and poetry. The exhibit featured works by Elma Skopijak, 29, who received her Bachelor’s in Studio Art and English last year at UVM. After she arrived in the U.S. seven years ago, making art eased her language-barrier frustrations. Each of her powerful, surreal compositions incorporates self-portrait and images of tombstones and steçak, a traditional Bosnian doorknocker. “When I returned to Bosnia two years ago,â€? Skopijak said, “I just noticed these objects that are so typically Bosnian. And I thought about myself moving between two cultures, and how doorways symbolize transformation and discovery.â€? Most of the festival’s poetry readings were delivered by young readers, who declaimed energetically while the older generations nodded and smiled. Sabina Gosto, 18, read â€œĂŽasto tone Venecija?â€? (“Why Is Venice Sinking?â€?), by Abdullah Sidran. “Sidran uses Venice as a metaphor for the way things were falling apart in Bosnia,â€? she explained. The festival’s final screening was Grbavica (2006), by Jasmila ĂŽbaniç. The film tells the story of a single mother and her daughter struggling to get by in postwar Sarajevo. The mother tells the daughter that her father died a shaheed, or martyr, but she eventually discovers he was actually a chetnik (pejorative for Serb) who raped her mother. The First Bosnian Vermont Film Festival achieved a daunting double task. It prevailed on men and women to respect one another despite their differences, even as it celebrated the cultural differences Bosnians have brought to a new land. ďż˝

Curses, Foiled Again Christopher Watts, 32, was wanted for probation violation when a police officer approached him in Franklin, Ohio. According to the officer’s report, Watts fled by climbing a fence to the top of a one-story bar. He then tried to jump to the roof of a business next door, only the gap turned out to be wider than he figured. He fell some 15 feet and became stuck between the two buildings, requiring a fire department ladder truck to free him.

all worthwhile human knowledge
Toxicologists have a blunt way of rating a poison’s lethality. Discussed here before, it’s called the LD-50, or 50 percent lethal dose — the amount that on average kills half the target critters. As the term may suggest, a fair amount of guesswork is involved. Since most governments object to running toxicity tests on humans, researchers substitute lab animals, who don’t necessarily react like us. Individual susceptibility varies widely depending on metabolism, tolerance, etc. Differing effectiveness among poison delivery methods is another wild card. A compound with a relatively high LD-50 might be carcinogenic and therefore deadlier in the long run, nicotine offering the salient example. So it’s hard to say definitively which poison is the fastest, most insidious or tastiest. I’ll tell you about some of the deadlier toxins known, and you can make your own plans. Poison is nature’s great equalizer. Snakes, spiders, Gila monsters, duck-billed platypuses — they’re all prepared to stick it to you before you stick it to them. According to my consultant Doug, the most potent venom of any land animal probably belongs to the inland taipan, a central Australian snake. For a 150-pound person, the LD-50 works out to 2 milligrams — about the weight of five dandelion seeds. The deadliest marine animal is a tougher call because estimates of venom toxicity vary greatly. Some nominate the hook-nosed sea snake or box jellyfish, but at least their venom is treatable. In contrast, if you’re bitten by the blue-ringed octopus or consume too much inexpertly prepared fugu (puffer fish), no antidote can save you. These last two cases illustrate the importance of a poison’s delivery system. Both animals employ the same fatal substance, tetrodotoxin, but where the octopus purposely injects it as a venom, killing in minutes, the pufferfish is just poisonous to eat, with digestion metering the dose. If you’re one of the 30-plus victims each year, you’ll feel numbness and paralysis creep over you, fully aware but unable to do anything except die within four to six hours. The most poisonous animal substance is batrachotoxin, produced by the poison arrow frog of South America. As little as the weight of two grains of table salt will turn your lights out for good. Not up for animal wrangling? Try plants and fungi. Ricin poisoning can be had from eating castor beans, the source of castor oil — the symptoms build slowly and gruesomely (basically, your arteries plug up), culminating in death in a week or so. If injected or inhaled, a bit of ricin the size of a pinhead could kill you. The most famous case of ricin poisoning was the 1978 assassination of Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov, who was killed James Bond-style by a poke from an umbrella rigged to inject him with a tiny pellet of the toxin. Naturally, there’s no antidote.

One of the deadliest known substances could 2x4-oldspokes050207.indd 1 4/27/07 be in your pantry now, namely the botulin toxin that causes botulism. Produced by the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium botulinum, this poison is primarily encountered via contaminated food, such as unpasteurized home-canned goods. Botulin is tasteless and odorless — you probably won’t know you’ve consumed the LD-50 of 0.4 billionth of a gram per kilogram of body weight till paralysis sets in. Among the most insidious human-made poisons is dimethylmercury, which is readily absorbed through the skin even if you’re wearing latex gloves. In 1996 Dartmouth chemist Karen Wetterhahn spilled a drop or two on her gloved hand; symptoms appeared about four months later, and in 10 months she died. If nerve gas is more your thing, you won’t find many agents worse than sarin, soman and VX. Sarin, Higj\\a^c\ id bV`Z WZVji^[ja XdciV^cZgh4 which can kill in 60 seconds or less, became notorious when the Japanese cult Aum Shinrikyo used it to kill GZaVm! lZ½kZ \di i]Z VchlZg Djg egd[Zhh^dcVaan seven people in the city of Matsumoto in 1994 and YZh^\cZY! egZ"eVX`V\ZY XdciV^cZg eaVci^c\h 12 more on the Tokyo subway in 1995.

XVgZ VcY XdcY^i^dch# Finally we get to polonium, used to murder Russian ex-spy Alexander Litvinenko last November. Polonium is harder to come by than dimethylmercury, but tough to beat for lethality. Due to intense emission of alpha particles from radioactive decay, it has an LD-50 of 10 to 50 billionths of a gram per kilogram of body weight, meaning 1 gram of vaporized polonium can kill nearly 1.5 million people. Least detectable poison? Some tout deuterium oxide, a.k.a. heavy water. Though superficially indistinguishable from ordinary water, the extra neutron in each hydrogen nucleus interferes with cell processes, leading to death in weeks. Plus, the leftovers will chill fission in your atomic pile (the more common use). Downside: the stuff costs about $500 a quart at United Nuclear and you’ll need gallons, disqualifying it, in my book, as a cost-effective agent of death.

o you need a cab?� I asked the young couple who had just gotten off the evening train. I have voiced this question probably more than 10,000 times over my hacking career. As queries go, it’s as concise and unambiguous as they come. Hence my bafflement when the man and woman looked through me, as if I was a nettlesome street person angling for a handout. “Sorry, let me try that again,� I said, hoping that “take two� might do the trick. These folks certainly looked as if they needed a ride; they had disembarked Amtrak with the classic tourist demeanor that said: Where are we? Did we get off at the right station? This is Essex Junction? I thought we were going to Burlington. “Do you need a taxi into town?� I spoke at half-speed. “I am a cabdriver.� They turned their attention toward the stationmaster, who was standing next to me, and he nodded, essentially vouching for my bona fides. “Actually, we do need a ride,� the guy said. “We’re taking a morning flight. Is there a hotel close to the airport?�
As we sauntered to my waiting taxi, I noticed what a cute couple they made. I glanced down at their single, smallish piece of luggage. “Yup,� I replied. “There’s a place maybe a quarter-mile from the airport. With that little bag, you can easily walk over in the morning.� As we sauntered to my waiting taxi, I noticed what a cute couple they made. The woman had an adorable, round face with a perfect halo of an Afro. She brought to mind a less Amazonian version of Pam Grier from her “Foxy Brown� days. Her partner wore a cool black shirt; he had the two-day stubble, and — having finally acknowledged my existence — the friendly, engaging disposition of a regular guy. As we got rolling, the two of them held hands in the back seat. “Sorry, dude, about ignoring you at the train station,� the guy said. “We, like, just moved here from New York City, and people approach you constantly at Penn Station with all kinds of hustles. Same thing when we lived in Caracas last year.� “No problem,� I said. “I grew up in the city, so I understand completely. However, I think I can safely assure you that if someone in Vermont tells you he’s a cabdriver, he’s probably a cabdriver. You know, not a serial murderer posing as a cabdriver.�

The two of them laughed, and then www.jobsfortheenvironment.org 2x5-soapdish051607 5/15/07 12:38 PM Page 1 the woman asked about restaurants near Call Nathan 802 861-2545 the hotel. I said, “You got two interesting choices: Hooters or the Ground Round.â€? “Ouch,â€? the woman said with a 5/8/07 9:38:08 AM delightful chuckle. “I can’t believe they 2x4-vpirg050907.indd 1 have a Hooters in Vermont.â€? offering facials, massage, body treatments, “Well, there are no strip clubs in town, manicures, pedicures and waxing. so maybe Hooters isn’t that outrageous. Apparently, they have great french fries. Congratulations Graduates! Or so I’m told.â€? Our gift certificates make a fabulous gift to treat someone for all As we turned onto Industrial Avenue, their hard work. Get them at the spa, the store or online! I warily kept an eye on my speedometer. This wide-open road has a 30 mph limit, and the Williston police often set up shop along the many side roads, speed guns at the ready. Suddenly the man edged forward in his seat and said, “Dude, do you ever feel like traveling?â€? “If you’re talking about wanderlust, www.dishbeautylounge.com not so much lately. When I was younger I traveled quite a bit, but now all I want take the spa home with you ... to do is stay put in Vermont. I guess you fine skin and hair care, luscious lotions, spectacular scrubs, guys have moved around some. I mean, make-up and fun accessories at: Venezuela, New York City — that’s quite the itinerary. Where did you say you’re now living?â€? “A month ago we moved up to Brattleboro,â€? replied the man. “We got, like, burnt out on the city lifestyle — the Best Beauty Product Purveyor clubbing, the noise, the crowds. All of 2003/2004/2005/2006 that stuff just doesn’t mean so much anymore. Things are so much simpler in Vermont. And we kinda like that. You know what I mean?â€? “Oh, I know just what you mean. That’s what brought me up here as well. That’s all you can ask for in life, isn’t it? A place that fits your temperament, that feels like home.â€? “You said it, dude.â€? The two of them sat there smiling, enjoying the ride, gazing out at the last gasp of a purple sunset. The Green Mountains may prove to be their long-term home, I mused, but if I had to bet, I’d wager their wayfaring days are far from over. 2x2-personals-generic.indd 1 12/19/06 10:10:55 AM The hotel came into view, and we pulled into the parking lot. The woman said, “Did you see the name of this place, honey? It’s the Ho-Hum. Isn’t that, like, perfect?â€? ERED “Yup,â€? I interjected. “Folks here like it SEL POW BIODIE so much, there’s another Ho-Hum Motel across town on Route 7.â€? The vacancy sign was up, so the two paid their fare and got out of the cab.

Offbeat Offset
Harvesting the atmosphere in St. Albans
S
tep aside, Al Gore: There’s a new climate activist on the block. Or rather, a spotted horde of them. At Teddy Yandow’s Cimarron Farm in St. Albans, cows are replenishing topsoil faster than you can say STORY “carbon sequestration.” MIKE Well, maybe not that fast. But according IVES to 34-year-old dairyman Abe Collins, who co-manages the operation with Yandow, IMAGES “carbon farming” could be the next big MATTHEW strategy for combating global warming — THORSEN the subject of Gore’s Oscar-winning film An Inconvenient Truth. Like global warming, “carbon farming” requires some patience to understand. But, says Collins, the practice holds the potential to neutralize Vermont’s “carbon footprint” — shorthand for “shlock we spew into our atmosphere.” He also claims it could give a significant economic boost to the state’s agricultural sector. How does this “carbon farming” operation work? Well . . . it doesn’t yet — Collins and Eric Noel co-founded the group Carbon Farmers of America in late 2006, but none
3/12/07 1:12:39 PM
of their 14 co-members will turn a profit until next spring, at the earliest. In theory, though, the farmers would sell the very carbon content of their topsoil as a climate-saving “carbon sink” — a.k.a. “voluntary carbon offset” — as you would a carrot, except carbon sinks taste pretty bland. “Some of it is basic ecology. Other parts are more esoteric,” Collins understates. No kidding. But believe it or not, carbon offsetting is a fast-growing, userfriendly economic strategy that enables guilt-stricken — ahem, “planet-protecting” — environmentalists to have their carbon cake and eat it, too. In other words, ecoconsumers pay other people to combat global warming, sort of like a dog-walking service for your conscience. As it turns out, Vermont’s already on the offset bandwagon. Central Vermont Public Service (CVPS) sells farm methane, or “Cow Power,” credits — an endearing euphemism for “incinerated manure.” Charlotte-based NativeEnergy funds wind, solar, bio-gas and
SEVEN DAYS | may 16-23, 2007 | feature 25A farm methane projects all over the country. Carbon Farmers of America, however, take the offsetting process a step further. “A carbon sink is an ecological sink,” Collins elucidates. “We’re using it as a brand name.” Carbon farming may sound confusing, but not when it comes to the money part. Collins, the acting president of Carbon Farmers, says the going rate for carbon-rich soil is $25 per ton. Crunch a few more numbers, and suddenly there could be a potential $900,000 profit sitting right under Collins’ nose. Or is it feet? It’s a sunny Wednesday afternoon in St. Albans. Collins strolls around the 185-acre Cimarron farm with a 3-foot “core sampler” — imagine back-to-the-lander Scott Nearing with a Star Wars fetish. Eric Noel, Collins’ businesspartner-slash-best-bud, looks on mutely while Collins probes the dirt, as if spectating at a sluggish minor-league baseball game. But there’s plenty to get excited about. In a few weeks, Collins says, the results from this sample will tell him just how much topsoil Cimarron farm has added to the earth’s surface in the last year. Then he’ll keep shopping his topsoil around to interested offset buyers — he estimates having sold about $25,000 in offsets so far. The rolling grasslands here have been divvied up into 80 2-acre paddocks of electric-green pasture. That’s because carbon farming requires short, intensive periods of
active cow grazing, followed by long ones of rest and recovery: Tight parceling controls grazing patterns. “We’re basically jumpstarting the soil-formation process,” Collins explains. With all its subdivisions, this dairy farm escapes classification. Collins, too, breaks the mold of a stereotypical dairyman. With an Oakland Raiders hat and socks paired with sandals, this permagrinner could be touring an ashram in Arcata instead of a farm in Franklin County. His soft-spoken, beanpole partner, however, is about as straitlaced as they come. Together, the men embody the paradox of carbon farming itself: heady environmentalism meets old-school stewardship. Offsets are great, both for green business and the planet. Collins, however, is careful to emphasize that offsets alone won’t mitigate the ecological crisis. “There are a lot of people making a lot of money doing absolutely nothing in the carbon credit world,” he laments. For all the benefits of carbon offsetting, Collins points out, offsets can encourage people to “buy their way out of guilt.” Carbon farming, though, might represent a more . . . er, grassroots . . . approach to carbon offsetting. Notes Collins, “Climate change is because of fossil fuels, but it also has to do with bad land management. Humanity is destroying topsoil faster than we’re building it. That’s the definition of unsustainable.”
Blue Cat Cafe & Wine Bar
He’s right. According to USDA figures, the United States loses 1.8 billion tons of topsoil every year. What gives? Simply put, soil gets churned up, pumped with pesticides, and left out to dry — sort of like what would happen if everyone in your neighborhood watered their gardens with Drano for a month, except on a vast scale. “When we talk about climate change, we don’t talk about how the carbon cycle is the cycle of life,” Collins says. “The more pho-
Yeomans, son of über-grasser P.A. Yeomans. Collins says the younger Yeomans’ book, Priority One: Together We Can Beat Global Warming, proposes that planned grazing could save the world from ecological meltdown. What could it do for Vermont? Collins estimates that if a sixth of the state’s 660,000 acres of cropand pastureland increased its soil organic matter by 2 percent — at a depth of 1 foot and a price of $25 per ton — the state could become
systems — especially watersheds. Do the numbers check out? Jeff Comstock, soil scientist at Vermont’s Agency of Agriculture, has his doubts. “From an agronomic standpoint, increasing soil organic matter is really hard,” cautions this dirt expert. He adds that, while he’s not familiar with Collins’ proposal or concept, the whole premise strikes him as a bit shaky. “It takes a fairly long time to significantly increase your soil organic matter,” Comstock notes.
Carbon offsetting is a fast-growing, user-friendly economic strategy that enables guilt-stricken — ahem, “planet-protecting” — environmentalists to have their carbon cake and eat it, too. tosynthesis we have, the more we have real economics.” “That’s not gonna happen when you have an economy driven by fossil fuel and pharmaceuticals,” Noel reflects acidly. “Ecological agriculture is still marginal to corporate ag,” Collins concedes. “But it’s growing.” According to Collins and Noel, Vermont is poised to join a celebrated international grass-farming movement. They’ve been studying up on grass-farming lit for a few years now, especially the writings of Australian grass guru Allan
“carbon-neutral” in only a few years — a potential net profit of $180 million, plus multiplier effect. That revenue wouldn’t just benefit local economies. If Collins’ predictions are right, the approximately 9 million metric tons of greenhouse-gas CO2 emitted into the atmosphere by Vermont’s cars, power plants and other nasty point sources would be cancelled out by all the carbon being sequestered in its soils. Translation? Carbon farming equals good news for all sorts of living organisms and natural
He’s “not sure [he] fully understand[s] how carbon trading applies to soil.” Collins isn’t fazed. “The orthodox understanding of topsoil is that it’s a non-renewable resource. We’ve known for over 50 years that it can be formed very quickly . . . but that info hasn’t permeated the universities and established agricultural institutions,” he says. “That’s why we’re backing [our carbon farming] up with scientific monitoring.” >> 26A

As Collins and Noel walk the fields together, butterflies flit. A muskrat lounges on the surface of an irrigation pond. The whole experience calls to mind a scene from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, except that the conversation lends it a touch of apocalypse. “Carbon is the keystone for every atmospheric process out there,� Collins says over the buzz of some noisy toads, as he and Noel stop to gaze across an empty paddock. “The carbon cycle’s a fulcrum. We balance the world with it . . .� He pauses. “A fulcrum, or a lever? Maybe it’s a lever?� Noel shrugs. “Soil quality affects things like water quality, human health,� Collins continues. “Right,� Noel chimes in. “We’re the most well-fed, undernourished country on Earth.� Twenty minutes later, the men are standing proudly before their cow-activists. Collins grabs a rope and begins herding the animals from one pasture to another. The process looks casual enough to an uninformed observer, but in fact the grazing patterns on this farm have been meticulously planned, almost to the hour. “Kumbas! Kumbas!� Collins shouts — old English, he says, for “Come, bossy!� Noel stands around chewing a length of grass. “Moo! Moo!� counters activist number 25, as if to say, “Kumbas yourself!� “Moo. Moo?� says number
825, a bit tentatively. The cows wave their tails to shoo flies away. One mounts another, then loses interest. Collins approaches Noel and gestures at a haystack. “That’s a practice stack,� he cautions. “What, it didn’t get stacked properly?� Noel inquires. “Uh . . . no. It got moldy, somehow.� “You mean it wasn’t dry enough?� Judging by their rapport, it seems as though these carbon farmers grew up together. But Collins hails from Rochester — he only moved to the area in 2003. Noel grew up on his family’s 300-acre dairy in nearby Highgate, but worked as a racecar mechanic in Indiana for a while before settling down in Vermont. The two friends didn’t meet until 2004 — through their wives, who met at the St. Albans farmers’ market. “Wives rule, literally,� Collins states with a chuckle as he twists up a cigarette. Then he gets serious. “If society mobilizes around its farmers . . . we can do this fast,� Collins contends. “The farmers are the interface between society and the land.� He waves at the cows with his cigarette. “This can be done in a decade. What we need is the political will and the economics.� The cows are still swatting flies. According to Collins, “The
way [the U.S. government] tackles problems nowâ€? is absurd, whether its foe is Al Qaeda or water pollution. He adds, “A ‘war on terrorism’? ‘Phosphorous’? What’s next, ‘oxygen’ ?â€? Noel agrees. “They’re trying to put Band-Aids over the real problem: degradation of topsoil.â€? On the horizon, sunshine melts behind a storm front, and the air grows thick with haze and anticipation: This summer will be big for farmers like Collins, Noel and all affiliated moo-mamas. Will carbon farming take root on a massive scale? It’s hard to say, since no one’s determined exactly how much carbon the soil can hold. Besides, while the practice promises untapped benefits for planetary health, it’s still largely ignored by the environmental community as a climate-saving strategy. So until the Carbon Farmers of America score certification from an international carbon-offset regulator, they’ll be relying on donations from soilsavvy citizens. “Who’s gonna pay for [carbon farming] in a voluntary market?â€? Collins asks rhetorically. The guy’s expression is over-eager, but in such a pleasant way, like a kid gushing about a school project. “People who care,â€? he answers. ďż˝ Got a comment on this story or an idea for another one?

It’s no smooth sailing for small-scale hydro power in Vermont
I
an Young is an eighth-grader at Twinfield Union School in Plainfield. On a crisp Saturday, he stands at the edge of Naismith Brook in shorts and a Metallica T-shirt, balancing on a smooth boulder STORY while he explains the mechanics of a KIRK hydro-power system that he and five class1:41:27 PM KARDASHIAN mates are building. “So this is the pool we’ll be taking from,” IMAGE he says, pointing to a deep, blue-green JEB swimming hole where locals are known to WALLACE- skinny-dip. High above Young is an old railBRODEUR road bed; below, big blocks of cut granite peek from the water. “Over there,” he continues, “coming out from that bank, we’ll have an intake, which will lead to a stilling well, and then it will go into a pen-stock and a pipeline that goes straight towards the powerhouse and the school.” Twinfield Union School sits 150 vertical feet below the intake pool. It’s a lowslung building on a hillside just above the Winooski River. Last year, the school burned through $58,000 worth of electricity, or 500,000 kilowatt-hours, which released 385 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. (For comparison, the average home uses 6000 to 8000 kilowatthours per year.) Over the past three years,

Young says, the school’s student body has shrunk by nearly 120. “We’ve had to cut three teaching positions, so there are a lot less options, and now we’re down to the bare minimum.” There’s no intrinsic connection between the problems of global warming and school funding. But Twinfield Union is symptomatic of both. And its Project Citizen group hopes to solve them with one solution: homemade hydro power. Project Citizen is a federally funded program that encourages middle-schoolers to become engaged in public policy through the identification of a problem in their town. Then the students brainstorm solutions and adopt an action plan to entice the appropriate governmental entity to promulgate their proposed policy. This is serious business at Twinfield Union: The school is credited with five of the past seven Championship Portfolios. Last year, Twinfield won for its plan to “Restore the Pledge of Allegiance.” This year, the project is patriotic in a more oblique way. “What we’ve really been working on is permitting — it’s expensive and it takes a lot of time for hydro right now,” Young reports.
SEVEN DAYS | may 16-23, 2007 | feature 29A Hydro power itself is nothing new. “I feel like I’m on the cutting edge for 1910,” jokes Lori Barg, the founder and chief executive of Community Hydro, a Plainfield company that helps municipalities turn their old dams and current wastewater and water-supply systems into hydro-power generators. “The economic and productive history of Vermont all had to do with hydro power. We had 2000 mills in the state, and vibrant economies that actually produced something,” she says stridently. A 2006 Department of Energy study found 1200 sites in Vermont that can feasibly be developed for hydro-power production. Of those, 107 are pre-existing dams owned by 45 towns — dams that, for the most part, aren’t going anywhere. “Because houses and villages grew after the dams were built, the dams provide structural and grade control, and if we lose them, we could lose many of our bridges, roads and houses,” Barg explains. “My idea is,” she continues, “how can we turn these dams back into an asset that will benefit the community?” Besides being a river geologist and hydro-power history buff, Barg is the go-to gal for Twinfield Union’s project. She beams with delight as Young delves into the biggest conundrum facing the project: the permitting process. “If the system is not changed,” he predicts, “this project will cost $200,000 just to permit, and we won’t be able to do it.” Why so expensive? The answer, as usual, has a lot to do with bureaucracy. Through the Federal Power Act, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has original jurisdiction over all hydro sites that put power back into the electric grid. Much of FERC’s permitting scheme is administered by the individual state agencies, such as Vermont’s Agency of Natural Resources (ANR), which must bless each hydro-

LORI BARG, COMMUNITY HYDRO power project with a 401 water-quality certification (for section 401 of the Federal Clean Water Act). And that’s anything but a rubber-stamp procedure. When you look a bit deeper into the requirements, it’s easy to understand why the Agency of Natural Resources hasn’t permitted a new hydro project in 20 years. To get a 401 certification, each proposed site must undergo an intensive investigation. “That’s the big problem: site-specific field studies for flow and fisheries,” Barg says. “Those studies cost a fortune.” Why can’t the ANR make the permit process more user friendly? Julie Moore, its regulatory policy analyst, says, “The Agency is all in favor of environmentally sound renewable energy.” The challenge, Moore explains, is that “the current process is not designed with smaller projects in mind.” Barg illustrates the problem with a story about a man in Montana who wanted to connect a 40-watt generator to the grid. Such a generator can’t crank enough juice to power a 60-watt light bulb. Regardless, the good Montanan called FERC for guidance. The feds sent him a truckload of information and applications, because, says Barg, “Size does not matter with FERC — 40 watts or 400 megawatts, the project gets treated the same.” That’s the core of the problem to which, in keeping with Project Citizen protocol, Ian Young and his cohorts have crafted a solution. “We’ve contacted Bernie Sanders and talked about the idea of putting a floor on FERC for projects under 2 megawatts, and our project would fall in that category,”

Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet. You’ll need two shallow bowls, each large enough to hold the asparagus. In one bowl whisk together the mayo, mustard, balsamic, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Put the panko crumbs in the other bowl. Roll asparagus in the mayo mixture coating each spear, then roll in the crumbs completely covering each spear. Place on the prepared pan, sprinkle with a li�le olive oil and roast for 12 – 20 minutes. Turn them halfway through roasting. The asparagus should be toasty and just tender. Sprinkle with a li�le salt and serve right away.

Young says. If such a “floor” were put in place, states with their own extensive permitting scheme — such as Vermont — would be able to waive the burdensome federal requirements and regulate the particular plan unilaterally. The Twinfield students didn’t stop there. Young explains nonchalantly, “We met with George Crombie, who’s the Secretary of the Agency of Natural Resources, and a couple of us have testified in front of different Senate committees about the hydro energy bill.” That bill is H.S. 520, an act that focuses on conserving energy and producing it through renewable sources; it has already passed both House and Senate and awaits the governor’s signature. Twinfield hoped to put a provision in the act that would require ANR to simplify the 401 process. That didn’t pan out. Instead, the bill bears a weaker “reportback” requirement, which gives ANR until December 15, 2007, to report to various legislative committees with recommendations for a “simple, predictable, environmentally

Still, it’s progress, according to Young. The reporting requirement will force ANR to refresh its recollection after 20 years of a hydro-permitting hiatus. “They could realize that the process wastes too much time and money, and decide to change it,” he speculates. Down by the Winooski River, with Twinfield Union looming dormant in the background, Young and Barg say their hydro generator will produce more than enough power to run the school. What will happen to the overflow? This is where the project once again encounters red tape — a familiarity with Public Service Board rules and the concept of “net metering” comes in handy. James Volz, the chairman of the Public Service Board, explains that the PSB’s role in mini-hydro power projects “is limited primarily to issues related to interconnection with the local electric system or when a developer seeks a specialized rate treatment.” “Net metering,” he says, “allows a customer to offset its electric bill through small-scale renewable generation.” But under the current rule, if a customer generates more energy than it uses in one year, the extra energy can’t
for everyone else, the school’s loan payment will stay the same. Therefore, in 10 years, when the school’s electric bill could be more than $100,000, the budget will be operating with a sizable surplus, or property taxes will go down. And that gets back to Young’s concern about a withering curriculum. The money saved through the hydro generation “is more than enough to employ a teacher for a year, and that’s one more option, one more year’s worth of classes,” he says. Long-term thinking is a skill Young has developed early. If all goes swimmingly, Twinfield Union will be making its own power in two years. But Young says he’ll be happy if it gets done before he graduates high school, and he and his teammates plan to continue working on the issue long after Project Citizen is a memory. Looking even further down the line, Young comes up with a proverb of sorts: “If every school in the world can produce all of the energy it uses with on-site renewables, then global warming will be partially remedied by those who will feel its repercussions the most.” � Got a comment on this story or ideas for another one?

Strike Up the Broadband Will the Verizon-FairPoint deal leave Vermonters well connected . . . or digitally deserted?
T
wo weeks ago, more than 80 people squeezed into the Williston office of Vermont Interactive Television — one of 11 VIT sites around the state tuned in to the same drama. As the proceedSTORY ings began, a chorus of cellphones — KEN being turned off — served as a PICARD reminder of the subject under collective scrutiny. The singsong of similar IMAGE ring tones revealed a predominance of TIM NEWCOMB Verizon phones — many belonging to employees of the company. Their interest in this event was understandable. VIT was hosting the Public Service Board’s teleconference on the proposed sale of Verizon’s landlines in Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire. The $2.175 billion deal, announced in January, would transfer control of Verizon’s entire landline infrastructure in northern New England — telephone poles, switches, routers, trucks — plus its work force of 3000 employees, to FairPoint Communications of Charlotte, North Carolina. Verizon would retain control of its wireless business in the region. All three states’ public utilities boards and the Federal Communications Commission must give the sale their thumbs-up, or the entire deal collapses. But if it gets regulatory approval, FairPoint will become Vermont’s largest phone company and its default provider of tele-
phone services. As PSB Chairman Jim Volz explained at the outset, the point of the hearing was to hear the public’s questions, not to answer them. The ultimate goal? To help the PSB better frame its own inquiry into the deal before formal, technical hearings are held in September. For nearly two hours, Vermonters
Richford, Island Pond and New Halifax be able to download videos, swap music files and watch movies on demand at the same rate of megabits per second as their urban counterparts in Burlington and Montpelier? It was clear from the testimony that Vermonters understand what’s at stake. Whether it’s e-commerce, telemedicine or interactive distance
the lowest rates in the developed world. DSL Prime editor Dave Burstein likens Verizon’s relationship with consumers in those states “to the early Roman treatment of the Sabine women.” That’s a fancy way of saying “rape.” The PSB hearing also revealed another, less obvious fact: Much of what Vermont lawmakers, business
What FairPoint is promising is utter bullshit. DAVE BURSTEIN, DSL PRIME EDITOR
aired their hopes, expectations and uncertainties about Verizon and its new corporate suitor from the South. Their comments ran the gamut: Will phone and Internet rates increase? Will FairPoint uproot Verizon’s workers and/or offer them similar pay and benefits when union contracts expire next year? Does FairPoint plan to upgrade Verizon’s fleet of ailing vehicles? Can FairPoint take on a monstrous debt load, which would dwarf the company’s current net worth, and still have the financial muscle to build out a high-speed broadband network? If that network expands, will rural customers in small towns such as
learning, universal access to highspeed Internet service is as vital to Vermont’s economic and social wellbeing in this century as the interstate highway system was in the last one. Opinions differed on FairPoint’s ability to move Vermont boldly into the communications age. But there seemed to be a general consensus that something needs to improve soon if Vermonters are to end up on the right side of the digital divide. As DSL Prime, a telecom- industry newsletter based in New York City, remarked in its April 13 issue, Verizon’s 60 percent broadband coverage in Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire is one of
leaders and the public have heard about this deal comes from two sources whose agendas and interests are diametrically opposed. First, you’ve got FairPoint’s executives, who have an obvious incentive to paint this deal in the rosiest possible terms. Speaking of incentives, the federal tax code would enable FairPoint — because of its small size — to do this deal entirely tax-free. That’s gotta sound good to Verizon. The other source of information has been the unions — specifically, the Communications Workers of America (CWA) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
SEVEN DAYS | may 16-23, 2007 | feature 33A
(IBEW). Their well-organized, three-state campaign to scuttle the deal began last summer, six months before a potential buyer was named. Why are the unions so adamantly opposed? One analyst suggests it’s in part because they would prefer to renegotiate the terms of their expiring contracts with “a corporation with very deep pockets versus one with lint in its pockets.” Which raises some interesting questions. Can Vermonters get an accurate, complete and unbiased picture of this transaction from someone who doesn’t have a dog in the fight? If the deal gets the green light, will Vermont’s telecom landscape eventually resemble the pretty picture painted by FairPoint executives — or the dismal predictions of union economists? Does the public have enough information to know which questions to ask and which commitments to demand from FairPoint? Finally, will Vermonters be better or worse off if this deal goes sour? As Tim Volk, board chair of the Vermont Business Roundtable, commented in urging the PSB to approve the sale, “Which do we want, a company that is interested in us? Or one that has its sights, and its capital, set elsewhere?” If we want to shed light on these questions, we should first consider what is known about FairPoint. This telecom acquisition firm, which is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange, has been around since 1991. The company’s modus operandi has been to buy up small, independently owned phone companies in rural areas — 31 local exchanges in 18 states — and grow those businesses with the help of lucrative federal subsidies from the Universal Service Fund. The USF, which customers pay into on their monthly phone bills, is a pool of money used to defray the cost of expanding telecom services into poor, rural and sparsely populated areas. Historically, FairPoint has enjoyed high federal subsidies — $452 per line — compared with Verizon in Vermont, which gets just $31 per line. Industry analysts say that FairPoint would not be able to rely on those high reimbursement rates in Vermont. FairPoint’s purchase of Verizon assets in northern New England would put it in an entirely different class of operations — the telecom equivalent of leaping from college baseball to playing in the majors. For perspective: FairPoint currently reports 311,150 access lines nationwide. If this deal goes through, that figure would become 1.77 million. FairPoint’s staff would increase more than fourfold — from 900 employees
pre-merger to 3900 post-merger — with six times as many customers. Overnight, the company would morph from the 14th largest telecom company in the nation to the eighth largest. Walter Leach, FairPoint’s executive vice president for corporate development, says his company is well positioned to manage that growth. “These three markets [in Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire] will be our most important markets,” he says. “They will represent over 80 percent of our business, 80 percent of our customer base and over 80 percent of our revenues. So, they will be getting all of our attention.” Currently, just 19 percent of FairPoint’s workforce is unionized. But Leach insists his company will do right by Verizon’s workers. FairPoint has agreed in writing to honor all existing contracts, to maintain head counts, and to fully fund all employee pension funds. The company has also promised to add 600 new jobs, in data, administrative and technical services, which would be evenly distributed across all three states. And FairPoint management is prepared to open negotiations on next year’s expiring contracts even before the Verizon deal is approved. “If the union would like to sit down with us today and talk about extending [its contract] under the same general terms and conditions,” Leach says, “we’d love to have that conversation.” Thus far, however, the two sides have met just once. According to Leach, the unions have expressed no interest in holding peace talks at this time. Ben Scott is policy director for Free Press, a nonpartisan organization based in Washington, D.C., whose goal is to increase public participation in media policy debates. A former congressional telecom expert, Scott notes that FairPoint doesn’t have a known track record on labor/management issues — only 119 of its 900 current employees are unionized. “To me, it’s a public-interest issue,” Scott says. “If you’ve got a company [Verizon] that’s providing good jobs at living wages, they’re doing right by their communities and ultimately growing the economy.” Scott’s concern is that, if the debt FairPoint incurs in the deal puts it under serious financial strain, workers could be hurt down the line. “None of FairPoint’s workers have those kinds of benefits and wage structures [that Verizon’s do],” he says. “If I were the unions, I’d be nervous.” Although the Verizon/FairPoint deal is ostensibly about telephone lines, the rubber meets the road on universal broadband access. According to Leach,

FairPoint is “committed” to beating Verizon’s promise of extending DSL coverage to at least 80 percent of Vermont by 2010. (FairPoint will probably need to revise that projection. Last week, the Vermont Legislature passed H.248, which creates the Vermont Telecommunications Authority and requires 100 percent broadband accessibility in Vermont by 2010.) FairPoint intends to achieve that goal with a technology known as ADSL, which is reportedly faster than DSL and would use Verizon’s existing network of copper wires.

statements.” They include Senator Vince Illuzzi (R– Essex/ Orleans), who chairs the Economic Development, Housing and General Affairs Committee. Illuzzi is skeptical about FairPoint’s plan for DSL in Vermont, which he has variously called “a Band-aid technology” and “a dead-end technology.” “The broadband service FairPoint has promised to offer . . . will be functionally obsolete in five to 10 years,” Illuzzi says. “I don’t want FairPoint to follow Verizon’s business model of investing most of its Vermont net revenues in more lucrative markets, where the return on investment is greater.” Actually, some telecom analysts take Illuzzi’s assessment one step further. “DSL is already obsolete on any new build,” says Burstein at DSL Prime. “It can’t
Kentucky — three years later — is not promising anything worth a damn,” Burstein says. “That’s doing what you should do anyway and trying to get political credit for it.” Burstein admits that his plain-spoken opinions may sound controversial, but says he has the data and academic research to back them up. “The islands off Scotland are at 99 percent [broadband] coverage. Northern Ireland — not a rich territory — is at 100 percent,” he adds. “What FairPoint is promising is utter bullshit.” Not everyone who’s familiar with this deal is so harsh on FairPoint. David Serra is executive director of the Vermont Enhanced 911 Board. The body oversees and manages the state’s emergency 911 network, one of the most technologically advanced in the country.
trophe. On that front, Serra has been unimpressed with Verizon’s investment in broadband accessibility. Serra, who lives in Newbury, says his town has the technology to provide DSL services to residents. But Verizon won’t throw the switch. “To me, that’s almost inexcusable,” he says. “The executive director of the 911 board, who’s presiding over the first IPbased 911 system in the nation, doesn’t have broadband to his home.” Another Upper Valley resident who’s keenly following developments in the Verizon/FairPoint deal is Brett Bourne. Bourne’s interests are twofold. For one, he’s the IT manager of a company called groSolar in White River Junction, which is the fifth largest installer of solar heat and

a good, high-speed product to those people who don’t have it now, and it’s going to provide very high levels of capacity. We think it makes a lot of sense.” But FairPoint’s promises come laden with qualifications and preconditions. Just consider the boilerplate caveats included in the company’s January press release: “This press release may contain forward-looking statements that are not based on historical fact . . . Because these forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause actual results, events or developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.” In other words, your actual mileage may vary. Not surprisingly, some Vermont lawmakers aren’t buying FairPoint’s “forward-looking
hold its own in a competitive market.” Burstein says he’s “outraged” by what FairPoint is offering northern New Englanders. He says state lawmakers should demand the same state-of-the-art fiber network that small towns in Massachusetts are getting — from Verizon, no less, and more speedily than FairPoint has promised to deliver. Burstein points to another rural, mountainous state — Kentucky — as an example of what Vermonters should expect from Verizon’s replacement. Since 2004, ConnectKentucky, a not-for-profit public/private consortium, has expanded highspeed broadband accessibility to 93 percent of all Kentucky homes, with plans for 100 percent accessibility by the end of 2007. “Saying that you’re going to get Vermont up to the level of
Serra admits that FairPoint will have to “ramp up in a big way” to handle 300,000 subscribers. Based on his own experiences with FairPoint — FairPoint Northland Telephone is a small, rural carrier serving northern Vermont with about 6240 access lines — he thinks the company is up to the task. “FairPoint has been very good about expanding broadband DSL out to the areas where they serve Vermont,” says Serra, himself a former businessman. “I’m not really worried about the broadness of FairPoint’s shoulders, because I’ve seen small companies acquire large companies before. It’s a totally doable situation.” Serra has a serious interest in seeing universal broadband coverage in Vermont. Wherever it exists, he says, the 911 system can roll out temporary call centers in the event of a major catas-
energy systems in the United States. Bourne, who’s been in the IT business for 15 years, says he’s watched the quality of Verizon’s service “take a nosedive” recently, which has hurt his business. But, despite his dissatisfaction with Verizon, Bourne worries that things could be even worse under FairPoint. Bourne is also president of the Upper Valley Computer Industry Association, which claims some 1200 members from Burlington to Nashua, New Hampshire. Several months ago, his group invited Peter Nixon, FairPoint’s chief operating officer, to give a 20-minute presentation on the Verizon/FairPoint deal. For an hour and a half, Nixon faced tough questioning from business professionals, investment managers, tech experts and union reps. “It was quite phenomenal,” Bourne recalls. “Pete stood his ground.”
Still, Bourne is not convinced that FairPoint is the best fit for Vermont. “If FairPoint had a wild success record and had huge resources . . . I would feel a lot better about it,” he says. “If they can do it, great, and I’ll be the first to sign up. But no one’s seen it yet.” The person who’s probably taken the closest look at this potential transaction is Ken Peres, a Washington, D.C., economist with the Communication Workers of America. Since 1988, Peres has analyzed numerous mergers and acquisitions on behalf of the unions, including deals involving Verizon, NYTEL, Bell Atlantic and GTE. On January 23, he presented a white paper to the Vermont Legislature claiming that this transaction would pose “significant risks” not only to workers’ jobs and livelihoods, but also to the economic health of Vermont. Peres says his bleak assessment is based on FairPoint’s business model. FairPoint, he says, is “one of the most leveraged telecom companies out there” and depends on paying very high dividends to its shareholders. If this deal goes through, FairPoint would be saddled with $1.7 billion in debt — four times the company’s current debt load — and another $85 million in dividend commitments. Given that it would leave the company limited cash to deal with unforeseen problems, Peres sees this deal as “a recipe for disaster.” “How are they going to fund operations? What are they going to do?” Peres asks. “This is going to be a cash-strapped company that will be beset by a wave of problems.” But FairPoint’s Executive VP Leach dismisses those claims, arguing that the deal would be “conservatively capitalized.” He points out that many details of Verizon’s revenues in Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire are proprietary information that neither the public nor the unions have seen. “We’ll be taking on more cash flow relative to the debt that we’re taking on,” Leach says. “I think the right question to ask is not, ‘Is this too much debt?’ If we’re generating $10 billion in revenue, $1.7 billion in debt wouldn’t sound like a very big number.” That’s not the opinion of one New England telecom executive (who asked not to be identified because of current and future business dealings with Verizon and, possibly, FairPoint). The executive describes Peres’ white paper as “a very smart and objective analysis.” In this executive’s opinion, Vermonters will neither gain much nor lose much if the deal is approved. On the one hand, FairPoint might pay more attention to Vermont than Verizon did, because the state would represent >> 37A

a much larger percentage of the company’s total business. On the other hand, this executive sees FairPoint as “significantly weaker” than Verizon, both financially and institutionally. And this executive seriously doubts that FairPoint would invest much time or resources in upgrading Vermont’s broadband network, despite its lip service to the contrary. “They’ll fart around the edges and do a little fiddling here and there,” the exec says. But Vermonters shouldn’t expect to see “fiber-tothe-home” — i.e., state-of-theart Internet technology — from FairPoint anytime soon, if ever.
companies was 59.8 per 1000 lines.) Though clearly not the highest rate in the state, FairPoint’s figure was well above average. A more meaningful gauge of customer satisfaction is how often people pick up the phone and complain. According to DPS figures, FairPoint’s rate of consumer complaints last year was 2.4 per 1000 access lines — significantly higher than Verizon’s rate of 0.46 complaints per 1000 lines. In 2003, the company had the highest rate of complaints of Vermont’s 10 local exchanges — 0.8 per 1000 lines — while Verizon’s
exchange, he notes, has been so recognized for at least 10 consecutive years. But anecdotal evidence suggests there may be problems there, too. In June 2003, FairPoint purchased the Berkshire Telephone Corporation, an independent local exchange that serves five communities in Columbia County, New York, with more than 6700 access lines. IT expert Bourne, who grew up in that region, says he knows the former president of the company. 2x3-MugwortMalachite051607.indd “He warned me explicitly not to expect much from FairPoint,” Bourne says. “It was a business model that worked

Vermonters may not know much about the nuances of leveraged financing, or care. What emerges clearly from the May 3 PSB hearing, however, is that Vermonters understand and care a great deal about service quality. And assessing FairPoint’s track record in this regard doesn’t require tapping the often subjective views of industry analysts. While most Vermonters probably never heard of FairPoint before this deal was announced, the company has had a small presence here for several years. FairPoint Northland, like other local telephone exchanges, is required to report its performance on standards established by the Department of Public Service (DPS). Consider, for instance, FairPoint Northland’s disconnect rate — that is, how often the company disconnects residential customers for failure to pay their bills. Though not a true “performance” measure per se, the disconnect rate reflects the company’s willingness to work with consumers who may be hard-pressed to pay up. In 2004, FairPoint had a disconnect rate of 77.7 per 1000 residential customers. That same year, Verizon had a disconnect rate of 52.3 per 1000. (The statewide weighted average in 2004 for Vermont’s 10 phone
rate was 0.56 per 1000. It should be noted that, since FairPoint has considerably fewer customers, even one extra complaint per year can significantly boost its annual average. But if FairPoint encounters tough questions from state regulators about its service record, they’re more likely to come from Maine than Vermont. According to a report in the Bangor Daily News, FairPoint’s six Maine subsidiaries had the highest rates of complaints for customer service, disconnection and billing problems in both 2005 and 2006. A 2006 investigation by the Maine Public Utilities Commission found that “more than 2000 customers were affected by billing errors . . . Call answer times frequently exceeded an average of seven minutes, and delays often exceeded 15 minutes.” As a result, FairPoint agreed last year to implement a service-quality monitoring plan to track its performance. For his part, Leach asserts that FairPoint’s phone companies have “impressive” customer service records. He points to FairPoint’s three local exchanges in New York State, which, he says, have gotten “very high marks” for broadband accessibility and have all received quality service awards. One
for them, but he didn’t see it offered much for their customer base, infrastructure or its employees.”

ZOE CHRISTIANSEN
<MUSIC>
Busker Dos and Don’ts Street performers chafe, or cheer, at the rules of engagement on the Marketplace
A
nyone who lived in Burlington during the 1990s most likely remembers Richard Haupt. Known mostly for playing off-key renditions of Dixieland staples such as “When the STORY Saints Go Marching In,” the DAN “Clarinet Man” was a Burlington BOLLES institution who parlayed his oddballicon status into an appearance with IMAGES Phish on Good Citizen Magazine’s MATTHEW 1996 compilation, Burlington Does THORSEN Burlington. Though beloved by many, Haupt’s off-kilter playing was not a hit with everyone — especially retailers who had to listen to his limited repertoire for hours and days on end. Were he alive today, Haupt would no doubt face an uphill battle to play on Church Street. He might not be allowed to play at all. The Marketplace has changed a great deal since Haupt’s time. Gone are the days when minimal restrictions meant musicians could simply show up and play for spare change. In an effort to “clean up” downtown Burlington over the years, the city has enacted rules to control who performs there. While the majority of musicians report few problems with the regulations, some feel they are unnecessarily intrusive, over-reaching and misguided. Zoe Christiansen, 18, is a professional musician who has played the clarinet and saxophone for 10 years and the piano for 14. She graduated from high school at 16 and was
emancipated from her parents shortly thereafter. Attractive and talented, she exudes youthful passion, both in conversation and performance. Christiansen makes all of her income from performing, and notes that “the difference between playing on Church Street and any other street is just remarkable.” Her first day on the Marketplace, in about an hour and a half, she made “roughly $110,” she
licenses have been previously obtained, and no documented complaints have been filed during the five separate performing dates.” Christiansen’s initial infraction — for excessive volume — came while she was performing on her first day permit. She was given a second day permit but was told a complaint had been filed against her; she was not told by whom. Christiansen was also
CSM’s mother-hen approach. “I was wearing shorts that were kind of . . . short, I guess. But I also was wearing a dress that covered the shorts, down to the middle of my thigh, and a vest over that,” she explains. “I didn’t feel I was scandalously dressed, but I guess [the CSM] disagreed.” Furthermore, Christiansen points out, “There is nothing in the rules about attire and, frankly, who the hell are they to tell

says. “On any other street in Burlington, $10 an hour is good.” Christiansen’s first day was close to her last. The Church Street Marketplace has a “three strikes and you’re out” policy regarding complaints for performers who have, or are working toward, an annual license. According to the official rules and regulations, annual licenses are granted provided that “at least five daily/weekend
informed by several members of the CSM staff that her attire was “inappropriate,” and that she should reconsider her look. CSM Executive Director Ron Redmond, 51, conceded there is no mention of apparel, appropriate or otherwise, in the street performer regulations, but he added that CSM staff often make suggestions to performers in an effort to abet their success. Christiansen was disturbed by
me what I can wear?” “They” are the Church Street Marketplace District Commission, a department of the City of Burlington whose primary function is to ensure that the Marketplace is a clean, safe public center. From maintenance to granting permits, Redmond and his staff handle virtually every aspect of Marketplace operations. Collectively, they are the “man behind the curtain.”
SEVEN DAYS | may 16-23, 2007 | feature 39A
It’s actually a glass door, and the CSM office behind it is where the permit gauntlet begins — with the audition. Redmond claims that auditions have led to a dramatic increase in the caliber of performers. “About five years ago, we felt like we just needed a refresher,� he says. “We had some people who were just not very good on the street . . . and realized that we could pull off auditions.� On a recent Tuesday afternoon, four aspiring buskers are lined up to showcase their talents, “American Idol�-style. First up is accordionist Leanna Inzalaco, 22, of Burlington. A talented but introverted performer, she breezes through lilting, original sea shanties, generally avoiding eye contact with the four-person panel. That, according to Redmond, is not uncommon. “The biggest thing we have to do, we find, is we get these really talented people . . . to connect. They have a hard time looking up.� After some prodding, Inzalaco does just that — at least enough to satisfy the panel, and she is granted a permit.
office to obtain her third day permit. She was told the staff were too busy, and that they might be able to accommodate her later in the afternoon. So Christiansen decided to play on Cherry Street, hoping to siphon some listeners from the Marketplace. While she was physically off Church Street, her sound traveled there, to the displeasure of cart vendor Paul Buschner. The 46-year-old proprietor of Amazing Kettle Corn typically sets up shop on Church just south of Cherry. Buschner describes Christiansen as a “rule breaker,� who has “only her own interests in mind.� He cites several occasions when he’s witnessed her riding her bicycle on the Marketplace — another no-no. He further claims the clarinetist was “just sitting, playing scales.� Though Buschner normally prefers to speak with offending buskers personally, on this occasion he asked Burlington Police to investigate. Two officers notified Christiansen that she needed a city permit to play outside the CSM District, defined by the

The next contestant is not so fortunate. Mark Johnson, 52, enters the office clutching a small box in his left hand. He fumbles with the case, eventually producing a beat-up harmonica, and proceeds to play a barely recognizable version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.� From the first warbling notes, it’s clear this is not going to be Johnson’s day. The staff allows him a full audition before delivering their verdict. Bewildered and embarrassed, he berates Redmond and threatens to sue before storming out of the office. Redmond claims that Johnson’s case is the exception, as the majority of auditioners pass. At least Johnson was spared the next stage of the process: the criminal background check. This serves to deter musicians with a record of wrongdoing from applying, or at least from performing for us law-abiding listeners. Only about 3 percent of applicants are denied permits based on unsavory backgrounds. Today’s final auditioner, a talented 6-year-old violinist named Gabo Lewis, presumably passes. The final stage of the Marketplace busker gauntlet is the five-day trial period, which brings us back to Zoe Christiansen. On Monday, May 7, she went to the CSM
edge of the brick walkway that lines the Marketplace. The incident was reported to the CSM office, which later that afternoon informed her she would not be granted another day permit or considered for an annual license. Redmond claims that, while Christiansen is no longer allowed to busk on the Marketplace, she is welcome to discuss the matter with the CSM and apply for reinstatement. Christiansen is not convinced, saying, “I’m just so tired of the whole thing. Honestly, they’ve given me nothing but grief at every turn. Why should I expect any different now?� She may have a point. City departments are required to offer an appeal hearing before any license may be suspended or revoked, and must provide the individual with written notice of the hearing at least seven days in advance. According to Redmond, there has been only one appeal during his nine-year tenure. The revocation was upheld. The director points out that hearings are uncommon because most performers are compliant with the rules and receptive to CSM suggestions. He reiterates that Christiansen’s case is rare, particularly since she was never granted an annual license. As of

According to Redmond’s predecessor, Penrose Jackson, the original concept for the Marketplace specifically included street musicians, whose input was vital in devising the regulations. Jackson notes that “one man’s great entertainer is another’s nightmare.” But ultimately, she says, “The public will speak.” In the case of John Holland, 57 — who identifies himself as a member of the fictional

a telling contradiction: “The right to act as a street entertainer on the Marketplace is a privilege.â€? While the language of that sentence is confusing, the message is clear: The Church Street Marketplace views street performance not as a right of free expression but rather, as Redmond puts it, as an “amenity.â€? It’s an irony not lost on Zoe Christiansen. “Park benches are amenities,â€? she counters. Actually, for her a park bench would be a luxury. She now spends most of her afternoons busking mere feet away from the red-brick border of Church Street, on less lucrative side streets such as Bank and College. She recently purchased an annual license from the City Clerk’s office, which allows her to play nearly anywhere in Burlington except City Hall Park, the Waterfront and, of course, the Marketplace. There was no audition or background check; she was told only that if a storeowner complains, she must be considerate and move along. Says Christiansen, “It was refreshing to be treated like an adult.â€? ďż˝

<CITY PLANNING>
How’s My Pavement? On the accessibility prowl with persnickety pedestrians
T
he Champlain Valley Senior Center is a good place to meet women. I won’t be officially retired until 2049 — but hey, it doesn’t hurt to plan ahead. It’s May 11, one of the year’s STORY warmest days yet. I’m here for a “neighMIKE borhood assessment walk.” CosponIVES sored by the Vermont chapter of AARP and the Burlington Livable Community IMAGE Project, the event aims to evaluate JORDAN Burlington’s walkability — the condiSILVERMAN tion of sidewalks and crossings, the general “aesthetics” — to see whether the city meets the needs of an aging population. So far, about a dozen seniors, mostly women, are gathered here in the carpeted conference room, trying on red AARP T-shirts and eating banana muffins. The latter taste like banana flavoring. But who’s complaining? Not me. But if I were a city planner, I’d be plenty concerned. According to 2000 census figures, Vermont was one of only four states nationwide whose “baby boomers” comprised more than 30 percent of its total population. A 2006 report by Westford-based Northern Economic Consulting estimates that Vermont will add 93,000 seniors to its ranks over the next 25 years. Someone of my twentysomething demographic might not think of a crumbly sidewalk as cause for alarm. But for seniors, it can spell a broken hip, or worse. For a few minutes, the other walkability assessors mill around the breakfast buffet. They all seem to know each other. I’m thinking, Just act casual, scarf another free muffin. Soon enough, a woman approaches me. She’s wearing white shoes, reflective blue shades, and a hat adorned with clusters of fake berries. “I bet you’re young and handsome enough to open this bottle of spring water for me,” she says. I blush and twist off the cap. Then I
say, “So what brings you here?” Stupid question! Of course I know. But before we have a chance for further chat, Jennifer Wallace-Brodeur, our silver-haired, Capri-panted leader, announces it’s time to get started. I climb into a Saab station wagon with two, fortysomething AARP volunteers, and we head for Burlington High School — the launching area of our assessment walk. From the back seat, I notice that the trees on North Street are starting to bud. I also notice that both women in front have highlights in their hair. Our driver, Ada Bagalio, wears jeans, sneaks and gold earrings. She’s kinda sporty, I
around Burlington, inspecting sidewalks. Taormina laughs and responds, “If only!” I just smile politely. Once the rest of the gang is assembled and hydrated, Wallace-Brodeur leads us across the street and northward. With all the fanfare, you’d think we were headed on safari. But as I quickly learn, we’re only traveling about 200 yards, round trip. Every few minutes, Wallace-Brodeur stops to ask us a series of questions. “What kind of material is the sidewalk made of?” “Are there depressions that cause water to form puddles or freeze in winter?” “Are any intersections with marked/
Enders are least likely use their own two feet to get around. Part of that has to do with physical location — it’s about 2 and half miles to downtown from BHS. But walkability also depends on other, less obvious, factors, such as the presence of “green belts” — traffic-ese for “strips of grass separating road from sidewalk.” The woman with a fake-berry hat lags behind the group, announcing her disappointment with this or that stretch of sidewalk. I slow down to walk alongside her. At one juncture, I see that depressions have caused water to form and puddles to freeze. The result? Dozens of mini potholes. I practically

Riding shotgun is her co-worker Philene Taormina, an AARP lobbyist. She’s wearing Chaco sandals, quasi-bohemian necklaces and oval-shaped green sunglasses. “This car has too many buttons!” says Taormina, evidently a Luddite. “I haven’t figured this out,” she adds, pushing one. “What, too much AC?” asks Bagalio. “Yeah. I don’t like AC.” “I noticed.” These women sound a little like my late grandmother, I think as we pull into the BHS parking lot. Then Bagalio jokes that we should’ve all gone to the beach together instead of walking
striped crosswalks difficult to cross?” “If no, are marked/striped crosswalks needed between intersections?” Most of our answers are either “yes” or “N/A.” Bagalio runs ahead with a stopwatch, timing the traffic lights. Meanwhile, traffic thunders by on North Avenue. We’re the only walkers here. Taking in our clipboards and matching shirts, passersby might mistake us for an intergenerational gang of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Any assessment of walkability in this neighborhood is almost a joke. Taormina explains that, according to a recent survey of residents in several Burlington neighborhoods, New North

They don’t walk.” I like her populist spunk. As we make our way down the block, I find out that her name is Carol Lehman Winfield, and that she’s “practically 89” years old.

The 127 exit-ramp crossing is like pedestrian purgatory — maybe the most dangerous slice of pavement between New York and Montréal. Pre-existing safety markings have faded. Drivers can barely see where they’re going. And even if they can, they’re not expecting any walkers to cross the road. “Look at the yellow sign,” Wallace-Brodeur says gravely, pointing across the way. The sign has a picture of an imperiled stick-figure man. “I don’t know what that means,” Taormina admits. “Those kinds of signs are largely ignored,” another woman adds — as if a more assured stick man would change anything. Wallace-Brodeur tells us, “When I get off this exit ramp, I’m usually going 35, 40 miles per hour.” “That’s not even fast,” I point out. “You should see some of these youngsters motor around in their roadsters.” What if I die in this crosswalk? I think suddenly. And I’ve never even been to the opera. “Are we gonna attempt a crossing?” Taormina asks in a quavering voice. “I can’t even tell if we’re supposed to!” Everyone stalls, waiting for someone else to go first. No way I’m volunteering. Then Bagalio goes for it, and the rest of us follow. At our halfway point, a shiny Volvo begins to whip around the corner, and we all shriek like minors at a horror-film festival. “A car’s coming! A car’s coming!” Bagalio screams, waving her stopwatch. “Come on, come on, ducklings!” I don’t have a chance to think about how strange that sounds: Winfield strong-arms me to safety, just in time. The Volvo has a sticker that reads, “Baby on Board.”

Moments later, Winfield and I sit down to rest on a concrete wall with Taormina and Bagalio. It’s getting close to lunchtime, and the traffic seems to be metastasizing. Still no other walkers anywhere. Three construction workers eye us suspiciously, as if they’ve never seen anyone on these sidewalks before. I’m not looking forward to the next crossing. “Ooh, I get so sweaty when I run!” Bagalio complains. No one says anything for a while after that. Then Bagalio turns to Winfield. “I do yoga, too, you know,” she says. “I had sciatica problems. Five minutes a day: That’s all it takes.” “I do Bikram,” Taormina asserts, brushing her hair behind her glasses. “Five minutes a day? That’s all you do?” Winfield says to Bagalio. What a woman, I think.

I drop a few icebreakers. Has she always lived in Burlington? No way. Before this, she lived in New York for 30 years, where she worked at the Metropolitan Opera, among other places. But that’s only half her story. A few years ago, Winfield wrote a book called Yoga in the Morning, Martini at Night. “It’s all about how much fun it is to grow old,” she says, taking my arm. “You can get it on Amazon.” “I just might, Carol,” I say. “But what’s it like to grow old here in Burlington, with obstacles like these to deal with?” I point to our next crossing — the Route 127 exit ramp. “All the old people I know say the same thing: The transportation and walking is terrible,” she explains. “It’s only recently that I’ve begun to appreciate AARP and what they’re doing with the community.” “Me, too,” I say. “I think it’s so important that citizens rally around this issue,” she adds. “But are they?” “Well,” she admits, “We’re so ‘green-conscious’ here. But how many of these cars have just one person in them?”

The sidewalks look much better here. But Wallace-Brodeur says wisely that a sidewalk is only as good as its worst point. Really, says Taormina, good sidewalks are only half the battle. According to a January survey of 800 Vermont baby boomers, she explains, eight out of 10 respondents said they’d like to grow old in their communities. But in order to make that possible, local cities and towns should design more ambitious public-transportation systems. “One of the saddest things I hear,” Taormina notes, “is that the buses [in Vermont] don’t run on holidays.” Though Winfield is “a happy camper” in her central-living situation, she asserts, “I am militant in my belief that we need to improve public transit. All over Europe, you can go anywhere in public transit.” “There’s a point at which people want to give up driving because of safety,” Taormina suggests. “It’s a huge loss of freedom.” • 7 workshops focusing “[Older people] just don’t go out in winter,” Wallace-Brodeur on optimizing web adds, as we approach the BHS tactics, sales, analytics, parking lot. and social networking Indeed, even Winfield admits that she feels the strain sometimes. “I can’t drive anymore, and it confines me,” she tells us. “But if we had buses that ran every 15 minutes . . .” I can’t quite make out her last phrase, on account of the traffic. �

hen opposites reach out, they often merge: male and female, yin and yang, East and West. And where they come together, a remarkable alchemy occurs. Something like that is evident at the West Branch Gallery & Sculpture Garden in Stowe. Its owners are Chris Curtis and Tari Swenson, 56-year-old husband-and-wife artists whose creative endeavors could hardly be more different, yet occasionally entwine. Curtis works in stone and steel — some of his massive, elegant sculptures sit in the gallery’s garden like lords of the punier river rocks just beyond the lawn. Swenson channels calligraphy and Asian-inspired brush painting in her delicate, yet powerfully expressive, works on rice paper or canvas. Her paintings sometimes contain words, but often bypass language with a primal swish of black ink. All around the gallery, this couple’s parallel works and influences create a subtle, seductively charged sense of balance. Call it a harmonic convergence. Or a double whammy. And then there are all the other artists. The 4-year-old West Branch exhibits some 25 of them at any one time, including the sculptors whose weighty works reside outdoors. Each month, one or two artists are featured in exhibition space near the front door. Actually, make that the inner door. Before arriving there, visitors must park outside the large, square former indoor tennis court, cross a small footbridge to the outer door, pass through a well-lit hallway lined with artworks, and then a dimmer anteroom with more, larger-scale art. Whether intentional or not, this room offers a sense of
sanctuary, a place to transition from the outer, noisier world. And finally, the main gallery: Highceilinged and airy, it looks bigger than its 1200 square feet of floor space would suggest. Suspended panels provide movable exhibition “walls” for two-dimensional works. And at the north end of the gallery, a large glass overhead door, open in nice weather, lures visitors into the sculpture garden. Indoors or out, the West Branch does exactly what a gallery should: provoke “an exchange of energy with the viewer and the artwork,” as Swenson puts it. “I love it when people come and spend time with a piece.” Sculpture in the round, particularly, she adds, “almost forces you to walk around it and interact.” For Curtis, the interaction begins the moment he spots a worthy boulder — at a quarry, a gravel pit, a farmer’s field — and hauls it home. Around the side of the gallery’s building, hulking pieces of stone await their eventual transformation into art. Curtis admits some of them wait a long time; he likes to “mull” until their possibilities suggest themselves — or until he works up the courage to cut them. “Some stones I think are just fabulous for one reason or another, and I fear messing them up,” he explains. “One stone I’ve had for 12 years — I just don’t dare to blow it.” Accustomed to a glacial pace, his rocks are clearly in no rush. Meanwhile, Curtis likes to escort a visitor here, caressing the stones like a fond parent, telling their stories. He’s particularly enamored of quartzite right

High-Speed Internet & Telephone Services now, he says, spitting on his finger and rubbing a rock — cut in half like a geode — to reveal its patterning. “It’s really hard and polishes up beautifully,� he says, “but it’s not used much commercially.� Some of his earlier stones have been turned into architectural features such as fountains or benches; others have become “pure art� — sculptures that retain their natural shape except for a high polish here, an incision there. Or a rectangle astonishingly removed from its middle. One of his public sculptures, the vaguely heartshaped “Venus,� sits in front of One Main Street in Burlington. In all his works, Curtis leaves intact the essence of “rockness.� He says, “My particular approach to many things is not how much but how little I can do.� Born and raised in Stowe, Curtis has been a mountain man his entire life. He spent summers exploring Mt. Mansfield, where his father managed the Summit House hotel. In winters he skied the mountain; as a young adult he went hang-gliding off its edges. And always, he brought home rocks. “I was probably in junior
sider a technique you have access to,� he says. And, of course, there’s the matter of lifting the boulders in the first place. Curtis has a crane on his truck that can hoist upwards of 3 tons, though he confesses to pushing the limit on occasion. He does some of the fabrication at his capacious studio adjacent to the gallery, and leases a space in Barre for stonecutting and polishing. “How do you cut a rectangle out of a boulder?� Curtis asks rhetorically, then answers himself: “Part of the reason I can tackle that is, I have a diamond contour saw — it’s like a giant bandsaw, but it’s a wire with diamond beads, a very large tool.� Though this machine has had “a major computer upgrade,� Curtis confesses it offers a limited range of options. But that works just fine with his “less is more� approach to sculpting. “I’ve had some very good luck with circles — they’re universal icons, like suns, cross-cultural archetypes,� he continues. “Rectangular shapes are noble as well.� These elemental forms also “are recognized for what they are

high when I discovered drills,� he notes. “I discovered you could actually drill stone, fabricate it in some small way. You could take this seemingly impossible material and interact with it. “The natural boulders I use, that’s a really important part of the process — finding them, collecting them, meeting the people who own them,� Curtis adds. “I love the obvious connection with the natural world. Society, by and large, doesn’t have enough connection with it.� It’s hard to imagine anyone more, well, grounded in stone than Chris Curtis. Yet his path to becoming a full-time sculptor was circuitous. At the University of Vermont he earned a degree in zoology. Though he “continued to make stuff � after college, he opened a chimney-sweeping business when the woodstove craze came along. He even wrote a couple of books about it — “There was a great desire to understand wood-burning,� he explains. The warehouse he purchased to accommodate his former enterprise now houses the West Branch Gallery. Though Curtis first exhibited his sculpture in 1974 — the year, coincidentally, that he met Tari Swenson — he didn’t begin making larger-scale pieces until 1993. “It’s a challenge when you don’t have any place to park them,� he says. Similarly, the tools available dictate what a stone sculptor can try. “You obviously can only con-
rather than what they represent,� Curtis offers. “People don’t have to ask, ‘What’s that supposed to be?’� Still, he hopes the stone works raise awareness: “Human consciousness of our place in the natural world is going to be required for the survival of the species,� he muses. Chances are nobody’s thinking any such thing about the 3-ton “sculptural table� that Curtis installed this month in the Red Rocks Casino in Las Vegas. “It was pretty surreal carrying this through the casino with all the machines going,� he says, showing pictures of men in hard hats wrestling the 10-by-4-foot hunk of granite. The table is installed — probably for all time — at a Japanese restaurant on the perimeter of the casino, resting on chunky stainless-steel legs. “It’s kind of tough to spend all this intense energy on something and then send it off,� Curtis confesses. “Energy� is a word that Tari Swenson likes to use, too, but she’s not referring to the earthy kind that emanates from stone. Her brush paintings have the fluid spirit of water or air. In person, she is sweet and gentle, and good at managing the “Dark Lutheran.� That’s what she calls herself, only half-facetiously. And it’s a term she applies to her especially dramatic artworks. Born in Minnesota, Swenson grew up in the kind of Scandinavian family

Swenson made one last effort, in Vermont. “As soon as I drove into Stowe, I saw the old Food for Thought health-food store,â€? she remembers. “The owner, “Big John,â€? said to me, ‘You look like you’re from out of town — let me buy you a cup of soup.’ And so I decided to stay.â€?

house we’d built,” Swenson says. “Chris felt this weight off his shoulders. He decided to be a fulltime sculptor, and I decided to pay a lot of attention to my kids. And that’s when I started really doing artwork . . . It was very scary, having the freedom to make these choices.” Swenson admits she continued to be fear actually exhibiting her TARI SWENSON

There’s an energy coming through the person to the brush onto the paper, and that energy makes the painting come alive. TARI SWENSON ful, elaborate lettering of her past. The Zen-like simplicity of the paintings — on rice paper glued to canvas — is deceptive. Gaze at the bold, jet-black brushstrokes long enough and you can feel the passion behind them. “There’s an energy coming through the person to the brush onto the paper, and that energy makes the painting come alive,” Swenson suggests. Dark Lutheran, indeed. Paradoxically, Swenson’s artistry
charred remnant of a painting on rice paper she’d done 15 years earlier. “When I was first learning to do them, I did a whole bunch with this Robert Henri quote.” She recites, “The main thing is to feel emotion, to love, to laugh, to hope, to quiver, to live.” Swenson had the piece of paper framed, a meaningful reminder of things lost and re-found. “There was this immediate freedom being out from under this big
work, but a recent successful solo show at the Amy E. Tarrant Gallery in Burlington helped her get over that. “If you can’t show your work when you’re 56 years old,” she says with a laugh, “when can you? “If you don’t say what’s true for you, you don’t have the ability to reach out to others who may be ready,” Swenson adds. “I’m going to try to do that more often.” � 2xfp(bw)-7Dstore.indd 1

E EXHIBIT George Breisch Gonzalez & Greg Mamczak: “Symbols, Origins and Meanings,” new paintings and ceramics. Studio STK, Burlington. Through May 23.
ARTWORK “Untitled (Stacked Horses)” by Greg Mamczak
PHOTO Marc Awodey
nvironmental degradation, advertising imagery and oblique references to art history make up “Symbols, Origins and Meanings,” a two-person show by Vermont artists Greg Mamczak and George Breisch Gonzalez at Studio STK in Burlington this month. Gallery owner Sage Tucker-Ketchum suggests the show’s title is about “looking at the past, finding meaning in our origins, and using global symbols” to create “a visual language for today’s viewers.” Both of her selected artists have created technically strong and conceptually engaging bodies of work. Mamczak is a painter of strange landscapes, while Gonzalez — both a painter and ceramist — fuses art-historical forms with exotic languages and Madison Avenue Pop Art icons. Mamczak’s paintings border on apocalyptic. He unflinchingly refers to Holocaust images as he heaps giraffes, buffalo, salmon, camels, horses and other creatures into piles — ironically painted in almost festive hues. “Untitled (Stacked Horses)” is a 36-by-24inch canvas portraying six hillocks of tan, brown and pastel-gray horses on a placid beach. The values of the piles become progressively paler as they recede into the picture plane. Mamczak’s clean outlines also become finer, creating space that is somehow both surreal and naturalistic. The actuality of Mamczak’s subject matter takes a little while to seep in. But once it does, and the viewer reads the horses as carcasses, it becomes unforgettable. “Untitled (Victorian House on Beach)” is a 30-by40-inch scene with a white Victorian mansion situated to the right on another calm strand of beach. Mounds
of dead fish, however, are strewn on the sand. Mamczak’s dark outlines and flat colors are reminiscent of Japanese woodblock prints, especially of the ukiyo-e style, which synthesized Eastern and Western pictorial conventions. That Asian influence becomes more obvious in the mansion’s companion piece, “Untitled (Victorian House on Fire).” It’s a troubled night scene in which yellow and orange flames, together with stylized clouds of smoke, rise into a slate-gray sky. Mamczak beautifully captures the light
commercial logos the way classical potters incorporated scenes from pagan mythology. The Quaker from Quaker Oats, the Morton Salt girl and the Arm & Hammer symbol are among them. The Masonic allseeing eye from our $1 bill also appears in the center of one of Gonzalez’s platters. His preferred clay is stoneware, and he’s known for his raku firings. Gonzalez is also a strong painter. His acrylic “Apple of Discordia” is a vertically oriented, 26-by30-inch canvas featuring a standing male figure
Mamczak is a painter of strange landscapes, while Gonzalez fuses art-historical forms with exotic languages and Madison Avenue Pop Art icons. of the fire and carefully replicates the positions of the fish seen in “Untitled (Victorian House on Beach).” Gonzalez’s stoneware vessels, which can be up to 2 feet high, subtly adapt traditional Greco-Roman forms. His colors are earthy, and the pitchers and urns are decorated with trompe l’oeil repaired cracks. Snippets of Hebrew, Sanskrit, Greek and cuneiform writings have been transferred on to the faux shards, abutted with irregular lines. It’s as if the vessels were broken and reassembled by a drunken archaeologist, and any stories the texts may once have told were forever lost in the mismatched repairs. On his 14-inch platters, Gonzalez appropriates
with a skinless belly, like an anatomical map of the digestive system. He’s about to bite into an apple. Bottles of Clorox and Coca-Cola cans, so uniformly painted that they appear to have been stenciled, line shelves in the background. The negative space is black, making this image both literally and figuratively quite dark. It repeats the theme these artists share — that something is amiss in the human-created environment. Perhaps artists are canaries in the coalmine of America’s collective psyche. If an underlying mood of cynicism pervades “Symbols, Origins and Meanings,” it perfectly reflects these anxious times. m

ALTERED REALITY Dartmouth professor Soo Sunny Park built two room-sized installations, called “Liminal Engagement,� in the Firehouse Gallery this month. The accompanying curator’s statement aptly says the artist evokes “nature’s intrinsic chaos and order balanced in majestic equilibrium.� Park does so with a sense of humor, as well. A forest of clear plastic columns supporting a rib-vaulted “ceiling� fills the rear gallery. On the Church Street side, cloud forms fashioned from plastic cups dangle stones on strings like drops of rain. Pictured: Detail of installation by Soo Sunny Park.

theborowitzreport Wolfowitz’s Girlfriend Resigns as Wolfowitz’s Girlfriend
I
n yet another setback for the embattled World Bank president, Paul Wolfowitz’s girlfriend Shaha Riza announced today that she was resigning as Mr. Wolfowitz’s girlfriend, “effective immediately.” While Ms. Riza’s role in the conflict of interest scandal involving Mr. Wolfowitz and the World Bank had placed her in the eye of the media storm, few had expected her to relinquish her girlfriend post without a fight. But according to a source close to Ms. Riza, the increasing pressure on the high-profile couple in recent days had convinced her that she “could no longer function effectively as Paul Wolfowitz’s girlfriend.” A joint communiqué released by the couple indicated that the decision to leave her girlfriend post was entirely Ms. Riza’s, but sources close to Mr. Wolfowitz suggest that the idea had originated not with her, but with the World Bank president himself. According to one source, “Paul had dinner with Shaha last night and told her they should start seeing other banks.” News of Ms. Riza’s departure sparked speculation that Mr. Wolfowitz’s might
have difficulty acquiring a new girlfriend, but according to Vice President Dick Cheney, who has served as Mr. Wolfowitz’s unofficial “wingman” for years, nothing could be farther from the truth. “The fact that the World Bank found Paul guilty of wrongdoing gives him an air of danger,” Mr. Cheney said. “The ladies dig that.”

Back to the Battle John Wayne would be proud. War used to be a heroic venture, at least as far as popular media were concerned. All of our international conflicts were righteous, and the television shows and movies about combat focused on the brave men and women who leapt to their country’s service. While the conflict in Iraq tracks the contemporary media model of armed struggle — a slow-motion disaster that takes an unaccountable toll on people, families and entire nations — video games remain happily trapped in the past. Movies such as Flags of Our Fathers and television shows such as “Band of Brothers” try to get closer to the human side of war, even as video games merrily travel a path that is more The Green Berets than Apocalypse Now. Two new PC games continue the long thread of exciting historical military simulations that are completely free of nagging political content. “Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific” and “Whirlwind Over Vietnam” provide opportunities to command classic combat hardware. Whether you’re working with “Hunter”’s Pacific submarines or “Whirlwind”’s Southeast Asia Huey whirlybirds, the goal is to figure out how to operate the equipment and then keep it in one piece while eliminating the enemy. “Whirlwind” provides a simple premise: If you can master getting a Huey chopper off the landing pad and into the air, then you can roar across the countryside in search of Viet Cong and Northern Regulars. Jumping from the pilot’s seat to the side gunner, you strafe fields and villages in an effort to bring democracy to the people. Decent voice acting helps add dramatic flair to a style of play that otherwise remains as complex as it is routine. Flying a helicopter

might seem like easy work. But a few minutes behind the stick of a vintage-era Huey, and you’ll think fondly of the ease with which you can get an F-22 off the deck in other flight sims. As for the action itself, there’s not much to say about the endless machine-gunning of the natives. True to life, maybe. Whether it is fun is another question. Much more elaborate than “Whirlwind,” and much more odd, is “Silent Hunter.” You have to wonder about the sanity of men who agree to live in small metal tubes, surviving by hiding underwater, and whose only mission is to poke around the endless ocean for ships to sink. Beyond that, “Hunter” gives you plenty to do. You have to chart courses, manage on-board supplies of simple things such as battery power and air, locate Japanese ships and then solve the necessary math equation to triangulate a moving torpedo fired from a moving sub into a moving ship. Success earns you medals. Failure is likely to reward you with a set of depth charges.
Of the two games, “Hunter” seems best to understand the basic historical interest at the root of war simulations. That package includes charts of various subs and ships, a complex manual and in-game information to supplement the experience. Who’s It For: If you don’t start with a basic historical interest in either World War I submarines or Vietnam helicopters, the dull repetition of learning to run these machines will grow tiring long before you reach any interesting combat. For the history buff, this is the closest you’re likely to get to recreating these moments. If You Like This, Try That: The “Silent Hunter” series offers many more scenarios than the U.S. in the Pacific. Budding U-boat captains should try “Silent Hunter III.” Best Part: Watching the action from a free-roaming camera lets you examine the carnage from all angles and make your own mini-war movies on the fly.

(March 21-April 19): The Only Three Questions That Count is the title of a book by Ken Fisher. I’m stealing it to use as the theme of your horoscope. So your next assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to craft three essential questions that will guide your journey between now and the end of 2007. These queries should excite your natural curiosity about the life issues that matter most to you. They should be carefully and precisely formulated. And they should motivate you to keep your mind wide open and hungry as you hunt for more insight into your most bafflingly interesting mysteries.
true. I share Salvador Dali’s perspective: “One day it will have to be officially admitted that what we have christened reality is an even greater illusion than the world of dreams.” For these reasons and many more, I don’t automatically dismiss people who live in their own fantasy worlds. Their dreamy concoctions may be no more deluded than those of normal people, and might be far more fun and amusing. Everything I just said is a preface for the main point of this horoscope, Cancerian, which is to give you temporary license to escape into the most beautiful mirage you can conjure up. Love your fantastic visions. Let your imagination run far, far away with you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s about time
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The members of the
ARIES
you got the chance to be knocked on your ass by a flood of positive surprises and good feelings. I hope you’re trusting enough to go with the tidal flow, even if it does temporarily render you a bit woozy. Naturally you’d like to know if this giddy surrender will land you in trouble. Is there any chance that you’ll have to endure some karmic adjustment at a later date because of the fun you’re having now? Here’s my prediction: absolutely not. If anything, your enthusiastic cooperation with the free-form dazzle will shield you from any negative repercussions.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): For years I
made my home in a Northern Californian city called San Rafael. Near the end of my time there, I discovered that the Miwok Indians who lived in the area for hundreds of years before the white men stole it had a different name for it: Nanaguani. I was embarrassed that it had taken me so long to know such a fundamental fact about my own neighborhood. Make this the starting point for your assignment this week, Gemini, which is to learn more about the origins of the people and places and things that are most important to you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Reality is not
Superbroke Brass and Tin and Strings Electric Marching Band Ensemble wrote to me at my MySpace page. “We’re here to fight the Evil AntiGroove,” they said, “to liberate the SuperFlow of the Universe, and to loosen the Sphincter of the Collective Unconscious. I hope you’ll march with us some day.” I bring this to your attention, Leo, because your mission in the coming weeks should be much the same as theirs. Your personal success and satisfaction will be directly tied to how skilled you are at enhancing the well-being of your group, tribe or community.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Welcome to
the never-ending brainstorm session,” reads an advertisement for Barclays Bank, one of the most successful financial institutions in the world. It’s an approach that has some similarities to the ethic that prevails at Toyota, the company that makes the world’s best-selling car. Its core principle is kaizen, a Japanese word meaning “continuous improvement,” though it can also be translated as “to take apart and put back together in a better way.” A blend of these attitudes is what I recommend to you during the coming weeks, Virgo: kaizen meets the neverending brainstorm.
all it’s cracked up to be. Just because millions of people suffer from the same hallucinations doesn’t mean those hallucinations are objectively
LIbRA
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Last year the
top hedge fund managers in the U.S. earned an average of $363 million a year. I haven’t been able to determine what percentage of those plutocrats are Scorpios. But whatever the number is, I predict it’ll rise during the remaining months of 2007. The members of your tribe — not just in the upper crust, but those of all crusts — are poised for the greatest financial upgrade in years. And one of the most favorable periods for expansion is dead ahead.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This week may feel like a far-off trumpet playing mournfully at dawn as you awaken from a dream about buying pomegranates in a seedy but oddly appealing open-air market in Morocco. It could also resemble the sensation of talking on the phone long-distance to a person you both love and hate as rain falls on a metal roof and you gaze at a lunar eclipse that’s breaking through a round hole in the cloud cover. In other words, Sagittarius, it’ll be a time that’s rich in hard-to-classify emotions. I expect you’ll have experiences that will both spook you and energize you, both mesmerize you and liberate you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I wish I
could get a newly discovered species of beetle or an underground lake of ice on Mars named after you. I wish I could buy you a temple in Bali, and arrange for you to have your fortune told by the blind prophetess of Rio de Janeiro. And I wish I could dress you in 200-year-old velvet robes and

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “There can be no transformation of darkness into light and of apathy into movement without emotion,” wrote psychologist Carl Jung. That should be your motto in the coming week, Libra. Clear thinking and impeccable logic will not be sufficient to guide you to your next great adventure. You need the driving force of succulent emotion rising up in your solar plexus, the lush power of raw sensitivity piercing your heart. Feel as deep as you dare.

silk scarves once worn by Turkish royalty. You richly deserve honors and blessings like these, Capricorn. It’s that time in your astrological cycle when life is supposed to overflow with rewards for the good work you’ve been doing for a long time. I urge you to be vividly confident that you do indeed deserve these rewards, and radiate that faith in all directions.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Inuit
people of Canada’s far northern territory of Nunavut have a word that describes an old friend who’s acting oddly. In recent years, as global warming has gained momentum, they’ve applied this term, uggianaqtuq, to their environment. What are the symptoms? The sea ice forms later each winter and thaws earlier in the spring. Robins and biting flies have arrived in places where they’ve never been before. The sky is whiter and hazier, even on clear days. I suspect you’ll experience a version of uggianaqtuq in the coming days, Aquarius. Something familiar will behave in a way you’ve never experienced. That could be good or bad or a mixture of both. Which way it goes may depend in part on whether you refrain from jumping to conclusions. It may also hinge on your willingness to redefine the meaning of “good” and “bad.”
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your word of
the week is incubation. It refers to the act of a parent animal sitting on eggs to keep them warm as the fetuses inside mature to the point of hatching. In a more metaphorical sense, “incubation” means the process of protecting and nurturing an idea or possibility as it ripens. Dream workers also tout “dream incubation,” in which you describe a problem that you’d like to have addressed by your dreams, and hold it in your mind as you fall asleep. If you do this with a strong intention, your dreams will eventually help you solve the problem. I invite you to apply this meditation on incubation to the work you have ahead of you, Pisces.

Year of the Dog HH
I
’
PET PROJECT White’s directorial debut rolls over and plays dead for 97 interminable minutes.
m not sure which baffles me more: that the wildly gifted and inventive writer Mike (School of Rock) White is behind this inert cinematic sleep aid, or that so many critics have given it glowing reviews. This is one of the most confounding films I’ve ever seen. White’s directorial debut, Year of the Dog, is billed as a comedy, but it would be every bit as accurate to categorize it as science fiction or a World War II drama. It is simply not a funny film. It stars a lot of people who’ve been funny someplace else — Molly Shannon, John C. Reilly, Josh Pais and Laura Dern, for example — but they are not funny here. The story concerns Peggy Spade, a fortysomething administrative assistant (Shannon) who gets along well enough with her coworkers and her brother’s family but lives for the time she spends with her pet beagle, Pencil. This is the central relationship in her
life. People, we are led to understand, have disappointed her too many times. Pencil, on the other hand, has always been there for her. At least until the fateful night when he sneaks off into a nearby garage, nibbles on a sack of pestkiller and collapses. Shannon instinctively knows something is wrong when she wakes the next morning to find the dog not lying beside her. She knocks at the door of her neighbor (Reilly) — who is, unsurprisingly, a total stranger to her — and requests permission to search his yard. Horrified, she scoops up the barely breathing beagle and races to the vet. Alas, it’s too late. And with that, Shannon’s world crumbles. Everything that has given her real joy is gone, and there is nothing for her to do but embark on movie history’s dullest journey of self-discovery. First she goes on an illfated date with Reilly. Things go well enough until they wind up back at his place, and Shannon learns he’s a hunter. His collection of knives displayed behind glass seems to concern her less than the fact that he accidentally shot his dog years before while chasing game. Next, she gets a call from a fellow who works in the vet’s office. Peter Sarsgaard costars as Newt, a celibate vegan who informs Shannon just seconds before she puts the moves on him that he was once violated by a pair of bull mastiffs. It’s only after their first (and last) kiss that he lets her know he’s not on the market. He does fix her up with a replacement pooch, however — a German shepherd with what he ominously refers to as “behavioral issues” and roughly 20 min-
28 Weeks Later HHHH
W BLOOD SIMPLE Britain gets blitzed again in the second entry in the horror series obsessed with a multiple of seven.
hen it comes to scaring an audience, sometimes simple is better. In 2002’s 28 Days Later, a manmade virus called “rage” escapes from a lab and ravages the U.K. A single drop of blood infects you, and the afflicted instantly start vomiting blood and attacking their friends and neighbors. Twenty-eight days later, virtually everyone is dead or running around like they’re on bad PCP trips, emitting echo-chamber shrieks. When the hero wakes from a coma, he finds London a wasteland worthy of T.S. Eliot. That’s it. No pseudo-scientific explanation, no government talking heads. Director Danny Boyle’s apocalyptic thriller got its thrills from its simplicity, its strong script by novelist Alex Garland, and its grainy, antic visual style, with digital cameras swooping here, there and everywhere. It became a sleeper hit, and lo and behold, five years later, a sequel appeared. In the way of sequels, 28 Weeks Later complicates things. The first film strongly implied the virus was unstoppable, with “reports of infection in Paris and New York.” But Americans are apparently better at this containment stuff than the Brits. Seven months — yes, 28 weeks — later, Britain’s infected have raged themselves out and expired. The cavalry, in the form of a NATO force led by the U.S., returns to occupy the abandoned isle. A trickle of refugees is allowed to resettle a controlled zone in London, under the constant surveillance of wise-cracking soldiers. The first children to cross the Channel are a 12-year-old and his ethereal teenage sister, whose mom was a victim of the pandemic.
Kids being kids, they sneak past the military cordons into a city where corpses still litter the streets. After the two make an unsettling discovery, an American military scientist becomes convinced their family holds the answer to stopping infection. Wise-cracking soldiers? Scientists with theories? Cute kids? This sounds less like the culty 28 Days than Independence Day. But young Spanish director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, who’s taken the reins from Boyle, manages to deliver a doomsday movie that’s anything but tame or mainstream. Part of what was fresh about 28 Days Later was its sheer perversity. (One character speculates that the extinction of humans is merely returning the Earth to its normal state.) 28 Weeks Later takes those reversals of expectation and runs with them into territory that’s pretty close to nihilism. Along the way, it draws not-so-veiled topical parallels. The images of refugees returning to a wrecked city recall New Orleans. And the U.S. military conducts itself anything but heroically. After the virus inevitably resurfaces, snipers are told to shoot anyone who might be infected, with predictable results. Sure, it’s all happening in London. But as in that other recent apocalyptic film, Children of Men, it’s hard not to hear echoes of the “war on terror.” Both movies are kinetic, harrowing illustrations of life in a war zone from the civilian point of view. Unlike Alfonso Cuarón, the makers of 28 Weeks Later aren’t above exploiting that violence for gory thrills. Their blur-whiz-blink-and-you-miss-it visual
utes of screen time to live. This is a picture with a substantial doggie body count. By this time, something in Peggy has snapped. She goes vegan. She starts nagging coworkers into adopting pets. She forges her boss’ name on checks she mails to animal advocacy groups. She traumatizes her young niece by taking her to a slaughterhouse, and she disposes of her sister-in-law’s fur collection. At the height of her breakdown, Peggy loads 15 shelter dogs slated to be euthanized into her car and drives them home. When her neighbor mentions the resulting noise and stench — not to mention that he hasn’t been able to sleep for a week — she slams the door in his face. Her journey isn’t quite complete, but let us leave Peggy here, because you get the idea — and, well, neither she nor her journey get a whole lot more riveting. Shannon does what she can with the role. But White doesn’t give her much to work with, and she isn’t enough of an actress to create something from practically nothing. Peggy and the rest of the film’s characters are a mystifying hodgepodge of indie-ready signifiers. She’s the wallflower destined to bloom late. Dern’s the compulsive, controlling WASP wife. Pais is yet another number cruncher so wrapped up in his work he comes to the office on Christmas. Sarsgaard is . . . well, he’s just creepy. They’re like castoffs White picked up at a Todd Solondz yard sale. Holy Fast Food Nation, Batman! Can’t anybody make a decent message movie anymore? The writerdirector’s heart is in the right place, and the story clearly has personal resonance for him. (White is a vegan, and the loss of a beloved pet provided the impetus for this script.) The thing is, we all love animals. Who isn’t opposed to their mistreatment? The problem here isn’t the message; it’s the movie. White’s latest is so relentlessly fun-free, even the most ardent animal rights activists will sit up and beg to be put out of their misery. RICK KISONAK
style makes it too easy to distance yourself from the carnage. By contrast with the first film, the characters here remain underdeveloped, hence not particularly sympathetic. The standout performance comes from Robert Carlyle, the scrappy Scotsman of Trainspotting and The Full Monty, as a guilt-ridden survivor. On the other end of the scale is Rose Byrne, poorly cast as a pretty twentysomething scientist named Scarlett — in Hollywood, is there any other kind? Executive Producer Boyle has already announced a second sequel, 28 Months Later. It’s hard to imagine he can stretch this franchise much further — 28 Years? 28 Centuries? Sooner or later, either the virus or humanity will bite the dust. But this sequel shows enough ingenuity to make the third installment worth a look. MARGOT HARRISON

I
t’s pretty safe to judge a restaurant by its menu cover. Cream-colored, heavyweight paper usually denotes a multiple-fork experience. A single sheet of printer paper might mean that “Popâ€? is making the meatloaf while “Momâ€? prepares the pie. But what if you’re holding a pleather-bound volume with the header, “Tex-Mex Fiesta: The mania returns,â€? alongside photos of flourescent-colored drinks? You’re at the Ground Round. Welcome to the world of “casualâ€? dining. Restaurants in the casual-dining category offer table service in a relaxed atmosphere and almost always welcome tots: Think Friendly’s and The Olive Garden. They’re known for speedy service and inexpensive food that’s often frozen and pre-packaged. Maybe that’s why Meghan Sheridan, executive director of the Vermont Fresh Network, was incredulous when General Manager Bob Scott approached her. He wanted South Burlington’s Ground Round to be considered for membership among Fresh Net’s mostly upscale eateries that seek out Vermont vendors of meat, cheese and produce. Was the management of the independently owned franchise trying to cash in on a designation it didn’t deserve? The short answer is “no.â€? “We had a face-to-face meeting,â€? explains Sheridan, “and they are absolutely working with local farmers and featuring local farmers on their menu.â€? Scott won Sheridan over, and the Ground Round got its Fresh Net certification. The proof is in the product: Right now, the menu features local breads in sandwiches such as the sautĂŠed vegetarian reuben on Klinger’s Jewish Rye and a French dip on Red Hen’s organic seeded baguette. The “loaded mashed potatoâ€? side

is drowned in Cabot cheddar. Other native nosh options: salsas from New World Enterprises of Winooski, Jed’s maple products and Island Ice Cream. Come summer, Lewis Creek Farm will begin supplying the Ground Round’s veggies, and the restaurant will get cheddar from Shelburne Farms. Local corn chips are on the horizon, too. In an even more drastic shift, for a chain named after an economical cut of meat, the Ground Round is planning to switch over to Vermont ground beef in July. All of these changes came about because
!02 YEAR FIXED RATE
Bob Scott had an epiphany. The 14-year veteran of the TGI Friday corporation came to Vermont in 2002 and scored a management job at the Ground Round. Though he enjoyed the work and respected franchise owner Robert C. Smith, Scott says the high cost of living drove him to Florida. It wasn’t long before he began to miss the quality of life he’d enjoyed in the Green Mountain State. “When I moved back, I had a much fonder relationship with Vermont and what it stood for,� says Scott, who came back to work at the Ground Round. “One
of the personal missions that I have is to help Vermont stay unique.� After a time, he realized he might be able to do that through the restaurant. Approaching Smith was the next step. Luckily, Smith is married to a native Vermonter with “many of the same visions and beliefs that I have,� according to Scott. The franchise owner was enthusiastic. The duo planned for a gradual transition, one that wouldn’t result in sticker shock or a jolt to customers’ palates. Scott began >> 0 B

combing the Web to locate local suppliers who could provide tasty products in large enough quantities and at affordable price points. But, though the restaurant is independent and locally owned, it’s still a link in a 60-restaurant chain. A single manager only has so much control over selecting suppliers. “There are core items like the steaks and chicken where the corporation wants us to use their products for the sake of consistency and quality,” concedes Scott. Still, he says, “We felt strong enough that it was worth pushing the envelope.” Is the eponymous “ground
willing to work with you than vendors outside of Vermont,” Scott says. As a rule, restaurant “franchises” don’t encourage independent thinking. Because the “brand” relies on the consistency of the experience, owners have to accept multiple constraints. The Ground Round has more wiggle room for local variation than, say, a McDonald’s, because its parent company is not a global megacorp, but the relatively small-scale Independent Owners Cooperative, LLC, of Freeport, Maine. Nonetheless, Scott has to deal with regular Ground Round
ever,” boasts Scott. “We clearly are making more money than we have in years in this building.” He attributes the increased revenue to recognition of the better food quality, and to a dose of Green Mountain pride. “One of the things that we have found is that Vermonters appreciate the fact that we’re supporting the community, and tourists appreciate that they can come into a restaurant and try some Vermont products,” Scott enthuses. Slowly, folks are trickling in who “appreciate the independence of Vermont, but who wouldn’t normally think of us because we’re affiliated with a chain.” The staff is down with the new fare, too. After all, Scott encour-

inspectors who come to check the South Burlington operation for compliance. Their reaction? Luckily, the most recent corporate inspector “saw that the quality was better,” Scott assures. “While she can’t say, ‘That is OK,’ she didn’t take a position that our franchise agreement is in jeopardy.” He believes the corporate-powers-that-be “accept it because they realize that it’s great and that it’s working. They clearly see what we’re doing is not hurting the brand at all.” He hopes the laissez-faire approach will apply to the upcoming ground beef upgrade, too. Even with the tacit approval — for now — of the Ground Round bigwigs, none of this would matter if the audacious dishes didn’t taste good. As it happens, the local items are the yummiest things on the menu. A vegetarian patron called the nachos with local salsa “delicious.” And what deli aficionado would turn down a juicy, grilled turkey sandwich with Cabot cheddar on Klinger’s cranberry pecan bread? Of the bigger-ticket items, fresh sea scallops with a creamy maple Dijon sauce were plump, sweet and tender. Hey, the maple’s local. The same sauce also works well on a pecan-crusted chicken breast. And of course, the French vanilla Island Ice Cream topped with Jed’s maple peanut-butter “Mudd” is a taste of Vermont heaven. Hardcore localvores may want to hold off until the the fresh veggies roll in and the better burger arrives. Regular Ground Round customers are already showing their approval. “Business is better than
ages them to sample the daily specials, which are often built around local products. “That’s one of the ways we test the waters before they hit the menus,” he says of the entrées. “It’s pretty easy for the staff to get fired up because the products are great.” Once the burgers and veggies are squared away, the next step will be expanding to serve brunch. Scott is already beginning the search for suppliers of bacon and sausage. Being a Vermont Fresh Net member will help him get his hands on the good stuff, because, he points out, “they have strong criteria for who can be a part of their network.” So far, the Ground Round is the only franchise to meet those “strong criteria.” Says Sheridan, “We certainly have diners, but the idea of a franchise is really different . . . they have to be really cost-conscious.” The experiment is still in progress, but it’s clearly working. The Ground Round staff and its customers are eating up the changes. At the Fresh Net headquarters, Sheridan is pleased to know that “this kind of dedication to local foods, agriculture and the economy speaks beyond the white-tablecloth restaurants,” she says. For his part, Scott hopes the Ground Round’s example gives a little nudge to other casual restaurants. “We’re a locally owned chain supporting the efforts of Vermont. That message is very important. On a personal level, I want other chains in town to realize what we’re doing, and basically give them a challenge,” he suggests. “Can you be that rebel and push that envelope a little?” >

B-TOWN HITS THE BIGTIME
Burlington gets some ink in the June issue of Food & Wine magazine. The premise of “Food & Wine Across America,” the first in a series of articles, is that “Major metropolitan areas like New York and San Francisco no longer have a monopoly on innovative chefs, food artisans, mixologists and other talents. Now these men and women are as likely to turn up in smaller cities . . .” Yep, like Burlington. And Providence, Rhode Island, and Portland, Maine, which are also covered in the story. But folks around here have known that for years, right? Emily Kaiser, an up-and-coming food editor who visited Vermont during a sub-zero stretch this past winter, penned the part about our neck of the woods. Guess that’s why neither Shelburne Farms nor the Intervale got a mention. It was cold. She did single out Hen of the Wood in Waterbury, as well as Burlington’s L’Amante and family-friendly Viva Espresso. Other noteworthy stops on her tour included Lake Champlain Chocolates and City Market,, where she discovered ice cream from Strafford Organic Creamery and other delicious local dairy products.

Just Jamie’s MAIN STREET MARKET’S MAKEOVER
Customers could never remember the name of Stowe’s Main Street Market, Deli and Bakery, explains Mark Rosman, co-owner of the biz since January with wife Jamie Persky. After putting in a new floor, changing the location of the coffee station and perking up the walls with fresh paint, he explains, the space had “changed so much, we decided to change the name, too.” How did they pick the new moniker? Folks in town often referred to the eclectic establishment as “that place on Main,” says Rosman, “but we decided not to call it that.” Instead, the couple
Barre’s Brewery NEW GRANITE CITY BIZ GETS COOKIN’
There’s no sign yet marking Granite City Brewery in Barre, but they’ve been pouring pints for a couple of weeks. “We’re more than a bar; we’re a restaurant,” explains co-owner Stevens. Don’t forget smallBud Stevens scale brewery and brewing supply store. Granite City is aiming to be a nightlife hotspot, too. The space, in the old Lash Furniture building, boasts a very small stage and a baby grand piano. Friday and Saturday nights feature live music. Stevens and his businesspartner brother, Jason, are aiming to “pull in as many neat artists as we can.” What styles do they look for? Mainly blues, jazz, folk and acoustic rock. “We’re trying to appeal to a mature crowd trying to enjoy themselves,” remarks Stevens. “It’s a place they can go to and not feel like they’re overwhelmed by a lot of noise.” To keep the crowd full and happy, there’s an extensive menu. Granite City serves pasta, soup, pizza, panini and pub-style munchies. Local suppliers include Cottage Street Pasta, El Sol, Delicate Decadence and Capitol Grounds. Once Ariel Zevon’s L.A.C.E is up and running, Stevens hopes to get veggies through it. And what of the beer? So far, Stevens’ red ale and I.P.A. have been the best sellers. This week, he’s trying out double red ale and wheat beer. Eventually he expects to have three “standards” on tap at all times and three more beers that rotate regularly. Of course, you can always get a Rock Art, Switchback or Trout River. SUZANNE PODHAIZER

What does artisan cheese have to do with Middle East oil and American foreign policy? That’s what folks have been wondering since the University of Vermont sent out invitations to its reunion weekend “cheese reception” and lecture on May 31 with political science prof F. Gregory Gause III. According to Kathleen Laramee, director of Regional Programs at UVM, there’s not much of a connection. The best she could come up with: “Some cheese is greasy and oil is greasy, too.” She explains that a board composed of UVM alums and parents planned the event. It was their idea to combine the talk with a self-guided cheese tour organized by the school’s Vermont Institute for Artisan Cheese. The goal: to “highlight two elements of UVM.” And while the edible part of the evening — featuring approximately eight varieties of local cheeses with appropriate accompaniments — is free, skipping out before the poli-sci lesson will be frowned upon. “We are looking for people to stay for the lecture,” explains Laramee. She adds, “There are a number of other lectures going on that week. None of them include cheese.” If you plan to attend, RSVP online at www. alumni.uvm.edu/gause or call 888-458-8691.
picked the nickname favored by the younger set: “Jamie’s Place.” The food is changing, too. Chilled soups, such as almond and grape, iced tomato and vodka, and spiced mango soup with yogurt will have prominent spots on the menu during the hotter months. Another upgrade: three fresh salads daily. A “barbecue chop,” composed of chicken or tofu with romaine and red-leaf lettuces, house-made tortilla strips, mango and kidney beans, will always be available, along with the Caesar. The third will change every couple of days, depending on what’s fresh. Rosman says they’re kicking up their catering business, too. What he didn’t mention is that Gesine Prado, co-owner of Gesine’s Confectionary and Gourmet Market in Montpelier, is no longer the only local restaurant owner with a celeb sib. Sandra Bullock is Prado’s sister. Persky has a high-profile identical twin, Liza — a talk-show producer who has garnered four Emmys for her work on the “The Rosie O’Donnell Show.” She has also produced for “The RuPaul Show” and “The Wayne Brady Show.”

isa Rubin has a whole lot to say about table decoration, the evolution of chickens and spice blends that transform drab dishes with their zingy ethnic flavors. She dishes it out — live — every Tuesday on her gabby gastronomic radio show, “Food for Thought,” on WGDR. It’s surprising enough that Goddard College, which is known for its lefty politics, hosts Vermont’s only regular cuisinethemed audio show. Rubin keeps listeners guessing, too. Her free-form presentations veer from interviews with farmers and chefs to calm expositions on nutrition to effusive descriptions of favorite dishes like shrimp ’n’ grits. Despite her New York accent — she’s a native Manhattanite who arrived here in 2002 — she’s a convincing advocate for Vermont-y pleasures, such as pert dill pickles paired with sticky sugar on snow. When she’s not broadcasting her culinary knowledge, 43-year-old Rubin runs the Farmhouse Café and Catering Company on the land where she resides with her husband and daughters in East Calais. The restaurant is open on an advance-reservation-only basis; it’s
a destination-dining spot that offers an experience Rubin says is akin to having a private chef. Rubin has the background to pull off such a venture, having studied with culinary luminaries such as Sheila Lukins of The Silver Palate and Jacques Pepin. She admits she had a crush on “the fabulous and handsome” Pepin, with whom she shares a “rustic yet refined” attitude toward food. How do you make the transition from toque to earphones? Seven Days asked Rubin what it’s like wearing so many hats. Seven days: your husband’s in advertising; you’re a caterer. What made you two city mice become country mice? LISa RubIN: 9/11 spurred it on a little bit . . . a couple situations created this vision of “Hey, let’s get out of here.” We’re definitely into skiing. We love b&b-ing and antiquing, and doing all the things that are so fabulous in Vermont. Sd: Why “Food for Thought?” LR: because it can be almost anything in the world of food. I knew I had thousands of shows in my head. There’s so much to do, and so many different arter-
ies of subjects with food: family and diet and health and history and culture and money and all those things. Sd: you have a busy catering business and a café. how did you end up with a radio show, too? LR: People at the café would tell me, “You have a great radio voice and you have a lot to say.” It was a real osmosis between knowing people, doing catering at Goddard and knowing about college radio. I just walked in and kind of introduced myself. I said, “I’ve got a show I’d really like to do” . . . Two months later, I had my show. Sd: does “hosting” a radio show require any of the same skills as hosting a dinner party? LR: I have a little glamour in me, a little citified sparkle. I’m not salt of the earth, but I can be comfortable in any kind of atmosphere, with any kind of person. I do have a passion and a certain kind of earthy sophistication. but everyone here tends to respect each other’s diversity. I’m just another ingredient in that pot. Sd: in your introduction to one show, you say you want

WFSNPOU!DJUZ!NBSBUIPO XJUI to help listeners broaden the scope of their food consciousness. How do you go about doing that? LR: To people who are really heavy-duty, I must seem like Holly Golightly; to other people I might be too informative. I try not to be serious, even though . . . sometimes I hope to scare people a little bit, to change their paradigm about how they eat . . . I’m very into the ability to empower people that they can eat well with a little or a lot of money . . . I hope to not sound preachy, but to make it thoughtprovoking. I don’t rant and rave. SD: At WGDR, you’ve got to be your own engineer. How did you pick it up so quickly? LR: I’d had some experience in recording studios. My sister is a musician, so I was kind of a studio rat. I was pretty adamant to get on the air fast. I kind of like to throw myself into the fire. I always have to challenge myself and just go for it, and then I realize it’s not that bad. SD: How long does it take to
LR: I don’t have a dialogue a whole lot with people, so I don’t know how they’re reacting to what I’m saying — if it’s bringing up emotions, or if it’s just entertaining or informational. It’s a little bit of a one-sided thing. I’m giving out a lot of stuff, and I hope it’s being received well and making someone feel good that day. People do call in sometimes, and they’ll make nice comments. The show does conjure up a lot of food memories for people — good, bad and ugly. I seem to get more vocal responses from the lighter, more entertaining shows. SD: In your show on Easter and Passover foods, you feature some klezmer music. In the one on foods of the South, you start off with Ray Charles. Do you always have music in your shows? LR: If we’re talking about African food, I’ll throw in a little African. Moody food, I’ll throw in mood music. It’s like peanut butter and jelly; it just goes
the sandwich . . . the Reuben and Muffaletta. Talked a little bit about Madagascar and all of their amazing spices: their black pepper and ginger. We talked about vanilla, and chilies and cloves. We did some stuff on the Low Country. I had someone over from Christ Church, and we talked about soup kitchens. I’m probably going to do a little bit more on nuts because I love to cook with nuts. And certainly barbecue is appropriate, because there’s a thousand ways to talk about barbecuing. SD: You’ve said that you could do 50 shows on food allergies. Given the time constraints, how do you decide what to talk about during a single show? LR: I guess because of the length of the show, I’m able to give a blend of things.

I was pretty adamant to get on the air fast. I kind of like to throw myself into the fire.
LISA RUBIN, HOST OF WGDR’S “FOOD FOR THOUGHT”
put together a show? LR: My shows are created very fast. It’s mind-blowing, even to me. On average, maybe two hours. I have a lot of chutzpah sometimes. Sometimes an hour and a half before the show, I’m putting it together. Sometimes I’ll just do a beautiful reading. Sometimes I’ll do beautiful food quotes and I’ll put on some music. My intention is to give a good-quality show, and I want the listener to feel there’s a preparedness there, and that I’m not just going to be tripping over my words and a lot of fragmented information. SD: Can you explain your creative process? LR: I have this little journal; I have these scribbles of headlines or themes. So, even if I have one idea, one little “food for thought” that I jot down, I could probably create 20 shows from it. God, you could have like 50 shows on just the food allergies. There’s a trickle-down effect for me . . . just one word can inspire me. SD: Goddard doesn’t have statistics on who’s tuning in. Do you know how many folks are listening? What kind of feedback do you get from the locals?
Eat up. Log on. Tell all.
together perfect. You need it to help create the atmosphere. But sometimes there’s no time for music. SD: Food TV: Love it or hate it? LR: I used to really enjoy the cooking shows more than I do now. As long as it sparks someone to cook, I guess there’s nothing really bad about it. But I feel the self-importance of it all . . . they [celebrity chefs] have an amazing voice, and they’re not preaching enough of the beneficial elements of our work. SD: You’ve talked about topics as disparate as the ancient history of eggs, foods of the American South and maple syrup. What are some other subjects you’ve delved into? LR: I’ve had shows on the differences between Cajun and Creole. I got so into the different kinds of sandwiches, so I did one on the history of

the aspects of a food and give it that stage [i.e., the show], and give all its positives and its negatives. SD: Your shows aren’t scripted, so you’re constantly ad-libbing. That’s not easy to do for an hour. Is it tough for you to listen to the recordings? LR: Sometimes I cringe and sometimes I love them. Because it’s community radio, I felt like this was a good first vehicle for me to better myself with language, writing and research. >

The quirky and creative minds behind Portland, Oregon hip-hoppers
Lifesavas
— MC/producer
Jumbo and mike master Vursatyl — are hardly advocates of the bling-sporting, gangbanging lifestyle. Drawing inspiration from early blaxploitation films, cartoons and vintage soul, the band delivers inspired and observant tunes about life, spirituality, an’ all that. Lifesavas’ latest, Gutterfly, was conceived as the soundtrack to a fictional 1970s street flick; guests such as George Clinton and Fishbone insure the funk is fully felt. Don’t miss Lifesavas at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this Sunday with Strange Fruit Project and DJ Marc Sense.

BY CASEY REA
LATER, EVERYBODY
Looks like this is gonna be my final column before our brand-new, factory-fresh Music Editor Dan Bolles takes over. No kidding — he actually smells like a buffed leather car seat. We’ve been sharing pretty close quarters here at the office. I thought I’d have some Really Important Stuff to say about finally splitting Burlington after 15 years, but I’m not sure I’m up to the task. I can tell you this: It’s been fun. Well, except for shoveling snow and scraping off windshields. Also, Vermont doesn’t have an IMAX movie theater. Those things are awesome. Over the years I’ve had the pleasure to develop relationships with some of the finest musicians I’m ever likely to encounter. You know who you are. And you all owe me a beer. Many people who visit Vermont are shocked at how vital our music scene is. I’ve been around long enough to watch it go through ups and downs, but I think we’re enjoying a major boom at the moment. That’s why it’s the perfect time for me to make my exit. But hold that door for one more minute so I can thank all you local music fans. It’s your dedication to the bands and venues that keep this town rocking, rapping, jazzing and, um, turntabling. And to my regular readers: I might not know you all personally, but I can feel your eyeballs. Eww . . . that’s kind of gross. Working for Seven Days has been, without a doubt, the pinnacle of my professional life thus far. To my superstar bosses, I can only say thanks for the opportunity to be part of your totally fantastic rag. As I lay down my writerly six-guns, remove my critical spurs, and walk off into the sunset, I want everyone to know I’ll remember these years fondly. Now, git. Actually, you should stick around and read the rest of the column. ’Cause there’s some good stuff going down this week, and I’m not ready to give up this keyboard just yet.
flat-panel jobbies that takes up a whole wall of your living room.) But it also gives me the opportunity to talk about the phenomenon of bands garnering exposure through the medium of television. I know it’s nothing new: The Beatles appeared on “Doctor Who,” for crap’s sake. Don’t believe me? Check YouTube. “Grey’s,” with its attractive MDs and heart-on-sleeve ’tude, has emerged as a primary platform by which artists achieve national recognition. Hell, I’ve mentioned the program three times in as many consecutive columns, and I’m not even a TV writer. I was just talking to my wife about whether or not we’ll ever get into the show. We basically decided that “House,” with its endearingly cranky titular doctor, satisfies all of our medical drama needs. Sure, there’s not as much making out, but we can handle that on our own. Still, there’s something to the fact that a TV serial can have so much influence in the music world. I guess it’s not terribly difficult to understand why: With CD sales dwindling and an industry still learning the “internets,” pimping tunes on popular programs is one of the best promotional tools available. Let’s just hope that it works out well for our GRACE POTTER & THE NOCTURNALS Nocturnals.
GRACE GOES GREY
NOT JUST KID STUFF
Just got tipped off by Grace Potter & the Nocturnals drummer Matthew “Cado” Burr that the band will have a tune from its upcoming Hollywood Records album, This Is Somewhere, featured on this Thursday’s episode of “Grey’s Anatomy.” The song is called “Falling or Flying,” and it’s the second-to-last cut on GP&TN’s 11-track opus. It’s one of the band’s slower numbers, which makes sense for inclusion on “Grey’s” — the season finale! The song has a “lonesome highway” feel, with a mournful intro and lovely organ/guitar interplay. Guitarist Scott Tournet serves up a haunting, slow-burn solo in between Potter’s achingly intimate vocals. I can easily picture one of the characters on the show having a Reflective Moment while this ditty plays in the background. It’s extremely cool that our homegrown heroes have made it to the small screen. (That is, unless you’ve got one of those humongous,

SHATASNTIG(8POM), 930AMOXONE(7PM)WITH COOTIE BROWN,
Kid-friendly songwriter Dan Zanes makes music that grown-ups can dig, too. I don’t yet have wee ones, but a lot of the children’s entertainment I’ve encountered frankly makes me wanna spit up. So I’m behind Zanes 100 percent. He appears at the Higher Ground Ballroom this Sunday at noon. Zanes wasn’t always rockin’ for the tots, however. He got his start in the 1980s as a member of Boston’s Del Fuegos — critical favorites who never transcended their cult following. But his time with that garage-y act gave Zanes the musical tools necessary to make kids’ music that doesn’t suck. Additionally, moms think he’s hunky, which probably helps his, ahem, bottom line. Zanes’ first youth-tailored record, Rocket Beach, came out in 2001. It included guest appearances from several notable pals such as Sheryl Crow and Suzanne Vega. Its follow-up, Family Dance, fea-

tures Roseanne Cash, among others. Crotchety old Lou Reed even dropped by for a session. And Zanes’ most recent effort, Catch That Train!, is surely the first children’s album to feature nihilistic rocker Nick Cave. Maybe that’s why it won a 2006 Grammy for Best Children’s Album. Almost makes me wanna get procreative. Almost. Head to www.DanZanes.com and www.HigherGroundMusic.com for more info.
FESTIVAL PREVIEW The folks at the Northeast Kingdom Music Festival have just released the initial lineup for their 5th annual event, which takes place at the Chilly Ranch in East Albany, Vermont, on August 3 & 4. I’m pretty psyched about two of the headlining acts, Fishbone (remember them?) and The Coup. I’ve seen both bands before; the former with a brain full of psychedelics at Lollapalooza 3, the latter on nothing stronger than lager at the old Higher Ground in Winooski. California-based Fishbone are one of the trippiest, funkiest and straight-out craziest bands of all time. Front man Angelo Moore, a.k.a. Dr. Maddvibe, rocks the stage like nobody’s business, and the group itself is like some mutant metal combo of Sly & the Family Stone, Prince and Parliament/Funkadelic. Need I say more? The Coup, also from the West Coast, put a politically righteous, soulful spin on hip-hop. Led by main mouth Boots Riley, the group is aggressively and unapologetically leftist. They’ve got a bone to pick with the current administration that’s so big it probably requires separate transport. Although they typically function as a duo on record, they’ll appear backed by a full band for their Green Mountain appearance. Also on the bill are Sister Carol, Forro in the Park, The Devil Makes Three, Anaïs Mitchell, Shtreiml, Mad Tea Party, Cassettes Won’t Listen, The Toughcats, Green Mountain Grass, the HipHop Re-Education Project, The Real Live Show, Sputnik, Steepwater, Made in Iron, The Low Anthem and Kundalini Express. Phew — that’s a lot of bands! And I didn’t even mention the theater, kids’ activities, poetry, morning yoga classes, giant puppets and fire sculpture. Well, I guess I just did. Early-bird tickets will be available in person only starting on June 1 at the Langdon St. Café and the Lake Parker Country Store. To purchase by phone, call 888-512-SHOW.

reviewthis ROMANS, ALL THOSE WRISTS
MADDUB, LIVE! AT THE NORTHEAST KINGDOM MUSIC FESTIVAL
(Self-released, CD)
(Self-released, CD)
Central Vermont’s Maddub is the future of rhythmand-roots . . . if you believe everything you read on the Internet. I don’t, so I gave their new live disc a spin to see if there was any truth to the boast. It turns out there’s not. What’s on offer is rambling “dubtronica� — which in Maddub’s case is a convoluted hybrid of reggae, electronica, house and jam. The jam is a convoluted hybrid of rock, funk, jazz, blues, bluegrass, hip-hop, nursery rhymes and so forth. Perhaps something is lost in the translation from stage show to pressed plastic. Had I the opportunity to experience the performance in real time, maybe I would have responded differently. Given copious amounts of narcotics, a woodsy backdrop and a glowstick or two, I may have even stepped out of time itself. Instead, I experienced Maddub’s supposedly futuristic sounds from my run-of-the-mill home stereo. Where’s Marty McFly when you need him? It’s not that Maddub aren’t capable musicians. But many acts, local and otherwise, have done this kind of thing before, and better. Burlington’s late, great Concentric comes to mind as a band that ably recreated the dance-friendly intensity of house music with live instruments. Much the same could be said of such national groups as the indie-tronic VHS or Beta and electro-jamsters the Disco Biscuits. Maddub does have the distinction of employing a Chapman Stick player named Jofus. He certainly knows his way around this Frankenstein of an instrument. For those not in the know, the Stick is a guitar/bass hybrid on which notes are sounded by tapping with both hands. In other words, it’s Eddie Van Halen’s wet dream. Actually, a part of me likes this album, but if pressed, I’d have a hard time explaining why. Of course, I am currently pressed, so I’ll say this: It’s got a beat and I could dance to it. Then again, so does the ring tone on my cellphone. If Live! At the Northeast Kingdom Music Festival is the future of rhythm-and-roots, then this review is the future of American rock criticism. Hey, we’ve all got dreams. DAN BOLLES
Burlington’s Romans can’t be strictly categorized as a hardcore band. That’s not the most surefooted way to start a review, but these dudes are way more eclectic than many of their aggro peers. So let me simply tell you why their debut, All Those Wrists, rules. It takes talent, technique and vision to incorporate the various strains of heavy music into a cohesive whole, and Romans possess each of these virtues. Let’s do a quick sonic inventory: impossible percussion? Check. Maximum riffage interspersed with doomy ambience and prog-tinged complexity? Indeed. Tortured, throat-rending vocals? You betcha. And they’re not all hard-rock vets, either. Romans’ drummer, Kevin Savage, could go kick drum to kick drum with any national metalcore basher, and he’s only 16. Where these kids come from, I have no fucking idea. But keep ’em coming. Bassist Sean Martin, who also plays in The Years Best and Oh So Insidious, serves up brawny low end, while vocalist/synth man Tom Kelly (also a member of The Hero Cycle) spits oracular fire. Can’t understand a damn thing he’s saying, but that’s OK. Guitarist Justin Gonyea once manned the kit for the now-defunct Fire the Cannons, but it’s on the six-string that he truly shines. He’s also an able recording engineer — Gonyea tracked the entirety of Wrists at his former house in Lincoln and mixed it in a B-town apartment. Everything sounds fantastic, with a fine balance struck between sludgy pummel and instrumental detail. Shockingly, there were no computers used in the recording process. Nowadays, that’s like ordering a burger that isn’t made from steroid-injected, antibiotic-laden beef: possible, but not easy. I usually provide track-by-track analysis in my reviews, but since all of these songs are equally excellent, I’ll just describe what makes them so strong. The guitars are fluid and fierce, sliding between layered chords and effected lead lines to meat ’n’ potatoes riff-rock with uncanny ease. Like weird noises? You got ’em. There’s even a slight industrial feel to a couple of sections. Romans seem to have absorbed three decades of loud-rock history, but they manage to pare it all down to the paint-peeling essentials. It took bands such as Neurosis and Isis years to discover what they were capable of — Romans might get there in a handful of months. ’Cause, like, they only got together last November. I sometimes forget that Vermont produces so much kick-ass metal. Thank you, Romans, for reminding me. Catch their CD release party this Saturday at Burlington’s 242 Main with From the Ground Up, Oh So Insidious and Valkyrie. CASEY REA

GOOD VIBRATIONS ::
Not all reggae is created equal, and many American acts fail to pass the
authenticity test. This isn’t the case with Cape Cod-based
Shango Axe, who combine a timeless roots sound with
electro-dub textures. Formed in 2001, the sextet has built a reputation as a killer live act. Some of the acclaim is no doubt due to soulful frontman Michael Gabriel, whose honey-rich voice is matched by a virtuoso’s touch on the steel drums. The band recently completed its debut album with noted producer Joel Hamilton, who has worked with such heavyweights as Elvis Costello and Tom Waits. You can pick up a copy when they play Nectar’s this Saturday with Cootie Brown.

bustier boosters Burlington’s home-grown Spielpalast Cabaret playfully exposes what lies beneath — by flashing lots of lingerie, and also by challenging preconceptions. The troupe’s sixth annual show presents costumed art partiers in a signature blend of burlesque-hall tributes and social satire, but at a new pedestrian-friendly venue. Co-creative director Phinneus Sonin, who plays the outfit’s clownish MC, suggests City Hall makes a suitable setting for grassroots theater with “a political edge, wherever possible.” Opera, circus and mime acts showcase steamy bohemians’ hidden talents, and Eastern Euro-influenced music from a live septet underscores meticulously choreographed song-anddance numbers that count chairs and umbrellas as props. Sprinkled among the salty dance routines: An ingenious “puppet” ballad, ominous lollipop ads and a seduction scene featuring a crafty farmgirl. Quel scandale! Spielpalast Cabaret

scene@ AMPHIBIAN AND REPTILE HIKE NORTH BRANCH NATURE CENTER, MONTPELIER, SATURDAY, MAY 12, 9 A.M. - NOON.
photo: Carrie Chandler
Waking up on a beautiful spring morning and venturing over to the North Branch Nature Center in Montpelier, I was prepared for a walk in the woods and the opportunity to see a few frogs and salamanders. I got more than I’d bargained for. The “reptile and amphibian hike� started innocently enough. Our guide, Larry, a recent University of Vermont grad well versed in herpetology, sat us down for a slideshow featuring the critters we might encounter. I saw all the familiar faces: green frogs, tree frogs, ubiquitous and choral spring peepers, and the gruff American toad. Larry assured us we’d see salamanders as well — northern dusky, eastern redback and, of course, the spotted variety. After we were apprised of what to look for, we traipsed out into the wilds. Right away, we hit a treasure trove of green frogs and a zillion little tadpoles in the cattail pond. Having been an outdoor educator myself, I thought, I hope we haven’t hit the highlight of the trip already. We continued on to the duck blind along the banks of the North Branch River. Larry told us to be “very quiet� and look for painted turtles sunning themselves on the exposed logs. Then, out of the corner of his eye, our fearless leader caught a movement from deep in the muddy waters. A snapping turtle! Suddenly, Larry seemed to forget that he was leading a group of men, women and children on an educational hike. All he could see was that turtle and he was determined to catch it. Before we knew it, Larry was knee-deep in the water. Cautioning the little kids not to follow, he waded in further. The turtle moved, and he swooped in to grab it. Triumphantly, he raised it out of the water and held it up for us to see. While the rest of us chattered excitedly, Larry clambered back up the bank, cautioning us to back away lest we get snapped. Once back on flatter ground, we stood only half-listening while he gave us the ins and outs of being a snapping turtle, and hoped we wouldn’t personally experience how it earned its name. “It can bite through your bone without puncturing your skin,� Larry informed us, looking impressed. Then he asked if any adults in the group would like to try holding the animal. Not one to hold back, I jumped at the chance. After all, holding a 25-pound, foot-long snapping turtle in your hands is not something many people can brag about. Well, now I can. And I have pictures to prove it. The hike continued for another hour, but I don’t remember any of it. Toughing it out with a turtle was enough for one day. CARRIE CHANDLER

The plight of bedraggled, forlorn fuzzy ones whose owners were forced to leave them behind struck a chord with animal lovers everywhere. In the aftermath of the natural disaster, photojournalist Carol Guzy traveled through New Orleans with Humane Society volunteer crews, documenting their efforts to save a seemingly neverending queue of dogs, cats and larger animals such as horses from polluted water, injuries and starvation. A staff photographer with The Washington Post, Guzy has won three Pulitzers for her work in Kosovo, Haiti and Colombia.

PURPLE REIGN Lilacs share a botanical family tree with olives, but unlike their Mediterranean cousins, they do pretty well in cooler climates. So well, in fact, that the Shelburne Museum grounds sport 400-plus plants. Colors range from white, pale pink and, er, lilac to deep fuchsias and royal purples — hues attractive to several species of butterfly. Catch the fragrant, frothy clouds on a walking tour during the museum’s opening weekend, when the bushes unfurl their buds in time for a garden-focused festival. The first 200 visitors take home free lilac bushes donated by a Charlotte nursery. Not a flower fan? Besides the blooms, newly opened exhibits include collections of original Audubon prints, contemporary chandeliers, and eBay caches assembled by celebrities. LiLac & GardeninG Sunday

DÊJà DEUX In classical music instruction, it’s not uncommon for teachers to form a living chain connecting their students with a canonical figure. Grammy-nominated flutist Karen Kevra of Montpelier should know. She studied for years with Vermont-based flute master Louis Moyse, who encountered firsthand great French teacher-composers such as Gabriel FaurÊ and Philippe Gaubert. Kevra, a teacher herself, traces her musical lineage in a dual performance with Washington, D.C., pianist Jeffrey Chappell. The program highlights works by Gaubert and his mentor Paul Taffanel, Debussy, Ravel and Georges Enesco. Several of Saturday’s selections stem from Louis Moyse’s compilation of 10 Paris Conservatory commissions, which Kevra just won a competitive Kittredge Fund grant to record herself. Hear, hear.

Mistress
Maeve
Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust! Dear Mistress Maeve, I was with my first (and only) boyfriend for three years, but after an argument, he broke up with me. I was heartbroken, but then a week later he announced he wanted to get back together. Before I leapt back into the relationship, I wanted to be sure I wasn’t setting myself up for another disaster, so we decided to go on a “break” and see how we felt. During our few weeks apart, he was really bugging me, asking me nearly every day if I had made up my mind, because he only had eyes for me. Eventually, I told him that I’d like to start over and take things slowly. He agreed and was ecstatic. However, shortly afterwards, I found out that he had slept with a mutual friend during our short “break.” I don’t know what to think; technically, we weren’t dating at the time. He has cheated before, but I gave him a second chance. Should I reconsider my decision? Sincerely, Lonely and Confused Dear L&C,
Lonely Friday I spy a hottie sleeping in after a late night of greys. I miss you! Come visit me, you know where to find me. If I knew where you were I’d be right next to you. Call me sometime, huh? When: Friday, April 27, 2007. Where: So. Burlington. You: Woman. Me: Man. #901519

really a break? When a relationship enters troubled waters, it’s often smart to take a breather, clear your head and search your heart, but how could you do that with him pressuring you for answers? Taking a break can create gray area and requires some strategic apart, and they generally set ground rules for seeing other people. If you failed to do that, I would ordinarily say that he has a leg to stand on. But in his case, he should have told you about his sexual encounter before he allowed you to rekindle your relationship. Some people say, “Once a cheater, always a cheater.” I don’t know if that’s always true, but with his cheating past and current dishonesty, you need to take a real break from this relationship. Tell him you want a month apart with limited contact. You say this is your first and only relationship — perhaps you should agree to see other people and go out on some dates yourself. There are plenty of fish in the sea, and not all of them cheat and lie.
Kisses,
MM
