theREALESTATEDEAL GETTING A READ ON...
BRAD DOUCEVICZ
My dream vacation would be... extended trip through Europe with my wife with extra time in Germany and Switzerland. My favorite toy as a kid was... hands down, my GI Joes. I wish I still had them for my two boys!
If I could have dinner with any famous person, dead or alive, I would choose... George Washington. Before I was a Realtor one of my interesting jobs was... as a teenager, pumping gas at Jake’s Marina in Colchester. I met some great people from nearly every walk of life.
One thing people are surprised to find out about me is... I sleepwalk! My favorite lunch place is... Mr. Mike’s for a slice. If I had $10.99 to spend, I would buy‌ nearly 3 gallons of gas.
On a Sunday morning you will most likely find me... drinking coffee and making blueberry pancakes for my sons. The talent I wish I possessed is... the ability to play a musical instrument, preferably the guitar or piano.
If I could eat one food for the rest of my life it would be‌ cheeseburger and fries.
The first piece of real estate I bought was... an Overlook condo in South Burlington.

VIEWER MISFORTUNE I write in response to Ken Picard’s piece, “Burlington Telecom to Dump Al Jazeera� [“Local Matters,� May 7]. The short article does not do justice to the issue at hand and grossly misrepresents the content of Al Jazeera English. It is unfortunate that Al Jazeera English will no longer be available to Burlington residents. As a regular viewer (and a journalism professor), I have enjoyed this network, which I find to be as objective as CNN and BBC and more factual than FOX. Chris Burns, the managing director of Burlington Telecom, made this decision without consulting citizens — a decision, I believe, that was political. Your article quotes Paul Laffal and Jeffrey Kaufman of the Israel Center of Vermont stating that Al Jazeera was “hate speech insidiously presented as news.� Interestingly, most people in Israel disagree; Al Jazeera is widely available and avidly watched in Israel. Burlington Telecom joins the ranks of Comcast and Time Warner in suppressing free access to information. Shakuntala Rao
Two years ago, I moved from England and became a U.S. and Vermont resident. One aspect that attracted me to this country was the constitutional right to freedom of speech and information that I had always thought was as fundamental to it as the right to breathe the air and drink the water. I was particularly disappointed that some of the main objectors appear to be members of the Israel Center of Vermont [“Burlington Telecom to Dump Al Jazeera,� May 7]. I was born and raised in Israel and certainly do not find Al Jazeera’s bias harmful to the existence of the State of Israel. Indeed, far more harmful to Israel, I believe, is a demand from some Americans to stifle debate and to only allow the expression of opinions which are agreeable to them. If these are friends of Israel, who needs enemies? I am urging Chris Burns and his colleagues at BT to provide as many diverse channels as possible. That is the only way to build a wellinformed community that can listen and watch and then form their own opinions. Orly Yadin

Al Jazeera is not evil. It simply provides an alternative perspective in news. Diversity of perspectives in the news only helps viewers to be able to decide for themselves how to feel about an issue.

OPPOSING AVERAGES Contrary to the remarks of Ken Boyd [Letters, May 14], “average citizens� are delighted to have Al
Jazeera English in our community on Burlington Telecom. In fact, many of us “average citizens� deliberately chose Burlington Telecom because it does offer Al Jazeera, which gives some of the best coverage of international news and issues in the world. It is also largely available in other democracies, including Israel. In the vast ethnocentric, unfair and unbalanced wasteland of MORE LETTERS >> 37A
AN ALTERNATIVE BIAS I can’t help but think that Burlington Telecom is making a mistake [“Burlington Telecom to Dump Al Jazeera,� May 7]. Although Al Jazeera does have its biases, so does most every news outlet in the world, including our
FbWdj IWb[ Thursday-Sunday May 22-25 9AM-5PM
American stations, most notably FOX News. Also, let’s say “dozens� of complaints were received. That means about 1 percent of customers are unhappy, and 99 percent of customers are content and maybe even happy. However, Burlington Telecom is treating this as though they had to fold under pressure. I would be curious to see the statistics of how many Burlington Telecom customers are disappointed with the drop.

Utah Photographer Pierced By Javelin Keeps On Shooting I found this on Jim Romenesko’s media blog and had to share. Photographer Ryan McGeeney was shooting the Utah state high school track championships on Saturday when he was pierced in the leg by a javelin. McGeeney is an intern, but he obviously has good newsgathering instincts, because once he was down, he took photos of his unusual injury. Check out one of the gruesome shots on the Utah StandardExaminer website. Interestingly, McGeeney is a 33-year-old Marine vet who served a tour in Afghanistan. He wandered into the javelin danger zone while shooting a discus event. He was taken to a hospital, where he got 13 stitches. Read more online . . . Posted May 19 by Cathy Resmer
Johnny Law If you know me, you know that one of my favorite movies is Barbarella. I’m very sad today because I just found out that John Phillip Law, who played the hunky, blind angel Pygar in the movie, passed away on Tuesday at the age of 70. I’m even sadder to say that there’s a remake in the works for 2009 with Rose McGowan in the lead role and — get a load of this — Shania Twain as the Black Queen. Good, sweet Lord. Anita Pallenberg was the original Black Queen. She’s around 64 now, but I would put my money on her in a no-holds-barred street fight with Shania. That’s one movie I will surely avoid for fear of it causing me to slice open a vein. Enough with the freakin’ remakes already.

ew people would be surprised if Middlebury College professor Laurie Essig took the opportunity to say a few choice things about her employer. After all, until recently, her teaching career was in ruins. A panel of peers had criticized her work in the classroom. Last month Middlebury reversed course, admitting to “procedural errors” in her evaluation, and Essig was put back on the tenure track, which has traditionally been a license to speak freely in academia. Nonetheless, Essig, who teaches gender studies, will only admit that she was ”perplexed” by the situation. “I know I’m a very successful professor,” she said in an interview at her campus office. “The only reason I’m in academics is because I want to teach.” It turns out that a lot of students wanted Essig to teach at Middlebury, too. Shortly after she was fired in December, about 165 students joined a Facebook group dedicated to appealing the school’s decision; more than 400 signed a petition to college President Ronald Leibowitz urging that her teaching status be re-examined. Molli Freeman-Lynde, a senior sociology major, said she helped organize the student campaign to save Essig’s job because she and other students were shocked by the decision to terminate her contract. “We were, like, ‘My God, this can’t be happening,’” Freeman-Lynde recalled. Essig is unwilling to attribute ulterior motives to faculty members who critiqued her classroom performance. Not Freeman-Lynde, who said that, given what Essig brings to the classroom, campus politics may have played a part in her evaluation. She noted, for example, that Essig’s views on gender identity — that it is not necessarily physical but a product of learned behavior — may not have been shared by older faculty in the sociology department. “Her teaching style and the critical theory she uses are threatening to the status quo at Middlebury,” Freeman-Lynde said. “She’s questioning social norms, and she’s been involved in campaigns on political issues. “Laurie also doesn’t look like other professors,” Freeman-Lynde added, “and Middlebury wants people to dress and act a certain way.” Essig, who describes herself as “openly queer,” acknowledged that her uncombed, short red hair and casual dress “may be off-putting to some on the campus.” But, she declared, “I’m not going to show up in a dress and pantyhose. That’s just not going to happen.” Before coming to Middlebury College, Essig, 42, taught at the University of Vermont, Yale and Columbia, where she earned her doctorate. She has written for Seven Days and Salon, an online magazine. An activist opposed to the war in Iraq, Essig is co-founder of Burlington’s Queer Liberation Army, a group that stages antiwar actions featuring “queerleaders.” At Middlebury, Essig was critical of the college’s decision in 2006 to

establish a professorship in honor of former U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist, which Essig describes as “symbolic violence against people of color.” Essig doubts her activism had anything to do with the school’s initial decision to deny her tenure. However, one former Middlebury faculty member isn’t so sure. For Marc Garcelon, who said he was denied tenure at Middlebury in 2006, Essig’s treatment is an example of how the college tries to intimidate “freethinkers” on the faculty. Garcelon, who now teaches at Yeshiva University in Manhattan, said that, as in Essig’s case, a review committee had graded his teaching as unsatisfactory. He acknowledged that his teaching performance was not strong in 2004 and 2005. But he attributed it to a stroke he suffered in 2003 after taking Vioxx, a pain medication that was later withdrawn from the market over safety concerns. Nevertheless, Garcelon said, the Middlebury administration is intent on enforcing political and cultural conformity. He contends he was denied tenure because he played a key role in hiring Essig in 2006 and had been an outspoken critic of the Bush administration’s policies. Another aim of the college administration, he said, is to “prevent any sort of unionization” on the part of professors.
“Middlebury has a policy of hiring docile people and then terrorizing them,” said Garcelon, who has complained about his treatment to the American Association of University Professors, which, among other things, monitors academic freedom issues. An AAUP spokeswoman in Washington said the group has not opened an investigation into any complaints at Middlebury College. By 2006, when he was notified that he had been denied tenure, Garcelon said that his teaching had once again been rated “above average” by students and peers. He pointed out that six members of Middlebury’s sociology and anthropology departments signed a letter to administrators on his behalf. “Marc Garcelon is a superb scholar and inspiring teacher who is beloved by many of our students,” the professors wrote. “The college’s decision will be impossible to explain without embarrassment to the academic world outside Middlebury.” College officials declined to comment on Garcelon’s charges. Neither administrators nor members of the teaching-review panel would discuss the particulars of Essig’s case, citing the confidentiality of faculty assessments. According to college spokeswoman Sarah Ray, “The end result of the review and appeal processes was that they worked as they are designed to and that Laurie Essig was reappointed.”

urlington Mayor Bob Kiss has called on the city-owned cable system, Burlington Telecom, to keep Al Jazeera English on the air until residents and two citizens’ advisory committees have had a chance to weigh in. “For the time being, the channel is not going to come off BT,� confirmed Joe Reinert, the mayor’s assistant. “I think it’s ‘stay tuned,’ no pun intended.� On May 7, Seven Days first reported that, following subscriber complaints, BT’s General Manager Chris Burns had decided unilaterally to pull the Arab news network from its pro-

gramming. At the time, Burns wouldn’t discuss the specifics of the decision, citing unresolved “contractual issues.� Community backlash from the story prompted Kiss to ask the Burlington Telecom Advisory Committee (BTAC) to take up the issue at its next meeting, scheduled for May 27 at 4 p.m. in Contois Auditorium. BT’s Cable Advisory Council will also participate and may take public comments. Neither advisory committee was notified of BT’s decision before it became known. Burns didn’t return calls and an email seeking comment. In a written statement, he
said the decision to cease carrying the channel was based on an annual review of its cable contracts, which revealed that BT had no contract to carry the network. This, he wrote, “presents a significant risk and liability to the distributor, in this case, BT.� BTAC Chair Greg Epler Wood wouldn’t say whether he thinks AJE should be removed, noting, “the process is the most important issue at the moment. The antidote to bad speech is more speech,� he added. “I’m not saying AJE even has bad speech on it. But I’m in favor of more rather than less.� m

Essig said she doesn’t agree with Garcelon’s views about how Middlebury treats its faculty members. She suggested, however, that many younger faculty members at Middlebury feel “constrained about what they can say inside and outside the classroom.� That’s likely due to uncertainty over the degree to which campus culture tolerates free expression, she said. Such insecurities were not as widespread or as acutely felt at other institutions where she has taught, Essig said. However, she added that she does not know whether the atmosphere at Middlebury is comparable to that of other small, elite private colleges. Essig conceded that, while her student evaluations were “excellent� and the sociology department had unanimously recom-
mended she be retained, her unorthodox teaching style could have accounted for her negative review. She recalled that she showed a video featuring rapper 50 Cent on the day review-panel members visited her class. Ben Grimmnitz, a senior sociology major from Maine, said Essig presented the video as part of a lecture on the social, cultural and economic contexts of money. “Laurie used that and some videos from YouTube very effectively,� Grimmnitz said. According to Grimmnitz, Essig’s classroom style reflects her belief that “students today, and probably a majority of our society, receive information differently than was the case 50 years ago when books were the main sources of information. “It’s not that she’s abandoned texts,� Grimmnitz said. “We cer-
tainly read and discuss books in her classes. It’s that the YouTube stuff gives us a different perspective on what we’re reading.� Any administration attempt to corral the intellectual freedom of Middlebury faculty “would not be obvious to students,� Grimmnitz said. But, he added, every college “is going to try to maintain the status quo to some degree or another. “ For Freeman-Lynde, the outpouring of support for Essig from a campus with just 2400 students is a reflection of the respect and enthusiasm the professor inspires in the classroom. She said Essig challenges students to think for themselves and to push the boundaries of conventional thought. “People find her class really revolutionary for their world views,� Freeman-Lynde said. m

ast summer, Lt. Col. Michael Ricci, a National Guard reservist, landed at a hospital outside Baghdad and began treating gunshot wounds and other trauma cases. It wasn’t his usual line of work. Ricci, who started his career at Fletcher Allen Health Care in 1989, is a vascular surgeon. That means he usually focuses on blood vessels, not punctured vital organs. To prepare for his trip, the doctor had taken a course called Advanced Trauma Operative Management, or ATOM, at the University of Vermont’s College of Medicine. During the one-day course, surgeons operate on wounded pigs.
Adam Bister of Vermonters for Immediate Animal Liberation. He wondered: “How much can you really learn from a pig about humans? If we want to learn about humans, we should study human anatomy.� Indeed, the nonprofit Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) reports that, since 2001, when ATOM was first conceived at the University of Connecticut, 32 accredited medical schools in the United States have stopped using live animals in their curricula. At the moment, only eight out of 154 do so, and two of those are slated to close
At the moment, only eight of 154 medical schools in the U.S. use live animals in their curricula, and two of those are slated to close their live-animal labs next month. Ricci, who has since returned from Iraq, patched a bleeding swine heart under the supervision of a local cardiac surgeon. The collaboration was invaluable, he said, “because I don’t really know what options I’ll have in Iraq to fix a hole in the heart.� For $1500, ATOM offers practicing surgeons like Ricci a quick yet intense refresher in basic traumasurgery techniques. Supporters of the course say it is a useful primer for surgeons who work in war zones and rural regions. But animal-rights advocates, as well as medical students and faculty around the country, believe ATOM and other live-animal training sessions have no place on college campuses. Last Wednesday, about 20 bandana-clad protestors showed up at UVM to protest ATOM, which the college has offered three times this year. The course relies on a “porcine operative experience,� which involves 50-pound anaesthetized pigs, surgically punctured, operated on, and then later killed. Among the activists carrying signs with messages such as “PIGS ARE NOT TOOLS� and “NOTHING IS LEARNED FROM TORTURE� was
their labs next month. A lengthy article on the issue in The Chronicle of Higher Education last October noted several factors driving the shift away from live-animal training, including lab costs and students’ ethical concerns. There is also an increasing number of teaching alternatives, such as computer simulations and sophisticated mannequins. “We’ve got to overcome the inertia of the old way of doing things,� said John Pippin, senior medical and research advisor for PCRM, in an interview last week. “ One way to overcome that inertia, he suggested, is a new technology being developed at the University of Arkansas that pumps blood through cadavers. “They are just like live patients,� Pippen noted. Not likely, said Michael Ricci, who hasn’t heard of the so-called profusion pump. You can’t simulate the feel of real tissue using anything but a live organism, he asserted, and pig hearts are the closest you get to human ones. Nonetheless, according to a UVM lab technician who spoke with Seven Days on the condition that his name not be published,
some faculty and employees at the medical school do question the ethics of using live pigs for surgical training. Carol Whitaker, UVM’s assistant dean for medical communication, stressed that ATOM is for practicing surgeons, not medical students. About 20 universities, including two in Canada and one in West Africa, offer the training, which was designed to counter a nationwide decline in “penetrating� trauma cases. A preliminary study by a medical journal specializing in trauma concluded that, despite ATOM’s “controversial� nature, surgeons who have taken it showed “significant increases in self-efficacy.� In October, the American College of Surgeons assumed sponsorship of the program. A spokesperson for the organization declined to comment or provide any information about it. Mary H. McGrath, vice president of ACS’s Board of Regents, did not return repeated phone calls. Whitaker said she’s familiar with such alternatives as the profusion pump. In fact, she said, the university receives federal grants to purchase surgical simulators and supports related research into non-animal training devices. But pumping blood through cadavers doesn’t adequately reflect a real trauma situation, she said. “Difficult as it is to justify, [ATOM] absolutely helps to save peoples’ lives.� Students and animal-rights activists at last week’s protest said they were moved to act when they heard the next ATOM course was scheduled for early June. Whitaker, however, said no course has been scheduled. As of Tuesday, the school’s ATOM website had apparently been shut down. Whitaker denied a request by Seven Days to visit the lab where the training takes place, saying it is not a public space. Asked where UVM gets its research swine, Whitaker replied, “We get them at the same place where we get all our research animals.� And where would that be? “They don’t come from Addison County,� she said. >

What Goes Up . . .
R
epublicans must defy the laws of gravity. That was the recommendation Lieutenant Governor and pilot Brian Dubie offered delegates at the GOP State Convention on Saturday during the folksy analogy portion of the program. Dubie, whose family owns and runs a maple syrup operation, said Republicans must do what sugar makers do to get sap uphill and then down to the sugarhouse. He notes that he uses a “step-up� system — a series of sap lines divided and organized. “That’s what we are doing today,� Dubie told the crowd. “We are dividing the work and sharing the load, and we know we have a lot of work to do in this state! We can defy gravity and we can work together to make the state a better state.� Wait — are the Republicans in this analogy identifying with the sugarmakers, the tubing or the saps, er, sap? Just kidding. I think I get it, and plenty of people in the room did, too. Even GOP Chairman Rob Roper concedes Republicans are up against tough odds in the upcoming election cycle — even more daunting than in 2004, when tens of thousands of new voters ushered in a Democratic legislature.
Douglas’ speech sounded more like a general election TV commercial than the red meat he usually delivers to the faithful. But, hey, the guy probably thinks he has the room, and the election, pretty much sewn up. Meanwhile, outgoing House Speaker Gaye Symington, his Democratic challenger, embarks on a statewide kickoff tour of her campaign this week. Progressive Anthony Pollina is in the midst of his “Build a Better Vermont� tour. Aside from Dubie and Douglas, only one other Republican is making a bid for statewide office: Karen Karin is hoping to oust incumbent Democrat Bill Sorrell for attorney general. There’s still no sign of an opponent for U.S. Rep. Peter Welch. As he builds up a strong legislative record — and campaign coffers — taking him on will only get more difficult. Word on the street was that Randy Brock, the former state auditor who lost after a recount in 2006 to Democrat Tom Salmon, was heavily recruited to run against Welch but decided against it. The guy’s smart, and if he runs, you’re more likely to see him make a bid for state senate or in a rematch against Salmon. Yup, it’s good to be an incumbent in Vermont. Just ask Douglas, Sen. Patrick Leahy, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Attorney

“Bush fatigue is a reality. Obama mania is a reality. It’s a reality that we have our work cut out for us,� said Roper. Still, he said the GOP in Vermont has plenty of accomplishments to tout. “We drove the agenda even though we didn’t have the numbers,� said Roper, pointing out that Republicans were able to uphold every veto of Gov. Jim Douglas, and turned back other “crazy ideas� and tax increases. Of course, they had the help of a Democrat or Independent here and there. Speaking of Douglas, for the first time in years the governor didn’t attend his party’s annual convention — he was delivering the commencement address at Green Mountain College in Poultney. Instead, Douglas achieved larger-thanlife status by delivering a two-minute, pre-taped message on a huge projection screen outlining his accomplishments from the past legislative session. Referencing the seats the GOP holds in the House and Senate, he explained to delegates why the “Fabulous 49ers� and the “Magnificent Seven� need allies.
General Sorrell, Secretary of State Deb Markowitz, Treasurer Jeb Spaulding, and the list goes on . . . Face it, we like throwing the bums back in unless they really screw up. Old New Hampshire — One of the people responsible for getting Douglas into office was at the convention at Montpelier High School on Saturday. Jim Barnett, the former Vermont GOP chairman and executive director, was there in his official capacity with the campaign of Sen. John McCain. As McCain’s New England campaign manager, he was part of the team that helped bring the Arizona senator a victory in the Granite State. It was a critical turning point in McCain’s campaign and, quite possibly, in Barnett’s career as well. Barnett knows he’s got his work cut out for him, but his goal is to make New Hampshire a “red� state once again. In both 2004 and 2006, the GOP suffered major losses in New Hampshire —

Democrats wrested control of the state legislature and the governor’s office, as well as its two congressional districts. This year, incumbent Sen. John Sununu faces a tough re-election bid. Former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen is his Democratic opponent, and she has a solid lead in early polling. The Race for Denver — At this weekend’s Democratic State Convention in Barre, a group of nearly 400 delegates will pick 10 people, and three alternates, to represent Vermont at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. Of those, four will be pledged to Sen. Hillary Clinton, six to Sen. Barack Obama. The split is based on Vermont’s March presidential primary results. Along with these 10, another 13 Vermonters will be seated at the national convention; seven of them are the so-called “superdelegates” we’ve heard so much about in recent weeks. Six more — and one alternate
Democrats will send an equal number of male and female delegates to the convention. Of the six Obama slots, only three will go to men. Two alternates will be picked, one of each gender. More than 100 people are in contention. Clinton supporters will get two slots per gender, and the one alternate will be a woman, according to party officials. About 50 people are competing for these slots. Vermont’s superdelegates are: national committeewoman Billi Gosh, national committeeman Chuck Ross, Party Chair Ian Carleton, Party Vice Chair Judy Bevans, Sen. Patrick Leahy, Rep. Peter Welch and former Gov. Howard Dean. Of these delegates, Gosh is the only one committed to Clinton. Dean is abstaining since he is the current DNC chairman. Gosh will have more influence at the convention if she is reelected to the influential DNC Credentials Committee. This group “credentials” delegates to
Douglas purports the stimulus package is worth $200 million. Dems argue it’s closer to $50 million. — will be picked on June 7 by the 10 delegates who win in Barre on Saturday. Competition for these coveted slots has been heavy, and one of the highest-profile contenders is Philip Baruth. The blogger (“Vermont Daily Briefing”), University of Vermont professor and novelist is an avowed Barack Obama supporter who bought his way into a fundraiser in 2007 and wrote about it on his blog. “I was on the bandwagon for Obama before there was a band. Or a wagon,” Baruth explained in an email. “I was a founding member of Vermonters for Obama in November of 2006, months before he declared. And in a year where Hillary Clinton has made it clear that flipping pledged delegates is a key part of her ongoing strategy, I think loyalty to and longevity with the candidate are at a premium.” Founding-fan status may not be enough for Baruth. Politicos such as Sen. Peter Shumlin and Chittenden County State’s Attorney T.J. Donovan are also seeking the coveted seats. Why? Regardless of who wins the nomination — the first African-American candidate or the first female candidate — the convention will be historic. To reach Shay Totten, email shay@sevendaysvt.com.
be seated, and there has been much ado about whether some, or none, of the delegates from Michigan and Florida should be allowed to vote at the convention. Both states broke party rules by holding their primaries earlier than they were supposed to. A special DNC rule-making committee could decide on May 31 whether to seat those delegates, and the credentials committee would then be charged with upholding that decision. If for some reason Clinton has not bowed out by convention time, she would be the big winner of delegates from those states. Obama was not on the ballot in Michigan, and he did not campaign in Florida. For her part, Gosh will remain loyal to her candidate until the end. She won’t be the Clinton superdelegate who switches to Obama and ends up on “Larry King Live.” “I take my signal from Hillary Clinton and, although I’m free to do whatever I want, I am very loyal and I have seen loyalty dissolve all around me,” said Gosh, who sits in on weekly phone calls with the Clinton campaign. “I talked to her [recently] and thanked her for sticking in there, and commended her on what a wonderful role model for women and girls she is providing — that when the going gets tough, to keep on going,” said Gosh.
No matter who wins in the Democratic primary, Gosh will support the party’s nominee. The Doctor Is Out — Singlepayer health-care advocate and physician Deb Richter will not be a candidate for lieutenant Where the governor after all. This also means my predecessor Peter Frames Are! Freyne will remain idle. The rumors were true: Freyne was considering a role in the good doctor’s campaign. So, who will challenge Dubie? Pollina supporters dismiss all rumors that their candidate 168 battery street, burlington • 651.0880 might slide over to run for the number-two spot, leaving Douglas and Symington to 2x4-eyes032608.indd 1 3/24/08 5:03:46 PM duke it out for number one. Meanwhile Sen. Jim Condos of Chittenden County, once considered a top pick, is not running for LG. Nor, according to party sources, is Sen. John Campbell, the senate majority leader. The likely Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor may not even be a legislator. Imagine that. The Stimulator? — Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is known as Vqdpnjoh!Xpsltipqt!!

Headed by former Douglas administra- 2x4-Arcana052108.indd 1 tion official Tom Torti, the group held a presser on Monday to praise Douglas in person for the economic stimulus package he squeaked through at the end of the legislative session. Douglas purports the package is worth $200 million. Dems argue it’s closer to $50 million, and that the package was largely composed of items they had already introduced and were prepared to pass. Asked whether any Dems had been invited to share credit with Douglas, chamber officials looked at each other awkwardly until the governor piped up, singling out Burlington Rep.

he Roxbury Free Library — all 450 square feet of it — was erected as a tearoom back in the 1920s. Its patrons must have had good bladder control, because the builders never bothered to equip the place with a bathroom. It became the town’s library in 1934, and since then readers who like to linger in the stacks have had to get creative about answering nature’s call. Some ducked behind a snow bank; others used the water closets next door, at the Roxbury Union Congregational Church. That’s about to change. With support from donations and students from Norwich University’s School of Architecture and Art, the “wi-fi library without a pot to piss in,” as librarian Susan D’Amico dubs it, will soon have indoor plumbing. It’s a bit of a tragedy to lose that poetic description, but the growing number of people who borrow books and attend the Roxbury Free’s 40odd special programs every year won’t mind a bit. According to trustee Chris Dorer, 31, the addition of a bathroom has “been talked about for a long time,” but getting the funding for the job was the enduring challenge. Then Arthur Schaller, a member of the library’s book club and the dean of the School of Architecture and Art, suggested that the project would be perfect for his third- and fourth-year students. In addition to the 15 students — most of them female — donating their time this spring, the library was able to raise $21,000 from town residents and secure a $15,000 grant from the Vermont Arts Council. That sounds like a hefty sum for a restroom, but once the students dug into the project, they discovered that much of the library’s substructure was rotten, owing to the high water table. So they moved all the books to the church, then hoisted up the library to replace the posts, sills and floor joists. As it happens, the addition
will include more than a bathroom; at 240 square feet, it will provide much-needed space for boots and coats, a kitchenette, and a big window to let natural light illuminate a couple of new chairs and tables. Having an eager bunch of students on the project defi-
D’Amico, the “head and only librarian,” is looking forward to having more space for daily comforts like coffee, which she has been making on a chair beside an electrical outlet. She notes that the new addition will make the library accessible to people with disabilities, too.
When the semester ended last week, so did progress on the addition. nitely saved the town money, but when the semester ended last week, so did progress on the addition. Dorer says the library may hire a Norwich student over the summer to finish the exterior — all it needs is siding and roof shingles — but the trustees still must raise about $10,000 before the arts council grant is released. Meanwhile, D’Amico is collecting both donations and contractor bids for the electrical work, insulation and heating.
That means even more people can congregate at this social hub of Roxbury, population 576. Besides the usual fare — story hour and book discussions — the library has tacked on a host of popular nighttime programs: basket weaving and spoon carving; a talk by Civil War historian Howard Coffin; and a screening of Edward Pincus’ new documentary about Hurricane Katrina, The Axe in the Attic. “It’s a very small library,” Dorer concedes, “but it offers so much.” >

Vermont Painter Floats a Lesson Plan BY DANIELLE FRAWLEY
T
his art class is not for the faint of stomach: Addisonbased painter Sean Callahan has teamed up with Vermont Discovery Cruises of Burlington to offer a watercolor course that’s actually on the water. Actually, two of them — one June 18-21 and one August 31 to September 3. Sixteen aspiring artists can board the Moonlight Lady and cruise around Lake Champlain for four days and three nights. For $1199 per person (plus taxes and port charges), guests will get instruction from Callahan and be able to “pick my brain,” as he
puts it. The boat will dock briefly in Vergennes so the group can pay a visit to his studio. “When we’re finished with this cruise, [students] will have an understanding of watercolor and be able to take it with them,” Callahan says. “Great food, landscapes — it’s just a wonderful opportunity.” Marie Lathey, director of sales and marketing for Vermont Discovery Cruises, found Callahan’s paintings before she found the artist. “I was in Vergennes for a meeting and stopped in to Addison Outfitters,” she relates. (Callahan’s
studio is above the store.) “I saw the art on the walls and thought it was so beautiful. We’d heard about the idea of painting on cruises and thought it was a great idea.” This is the cruise company’s first season on Lake Champlain— the maiden voyage, you might say. VDC’s other maritime excursions include the “Vermonter Cruise,” a “Lake Discovery Cruise” and the “Discover Montréal Cruise.” The on-the-water seminar is a first for Callahan, too. He discovered painting with watercolors when he moved to Vermont about

The Fleming Museum Finds a New Curator at Last
improvisational jazz live session Friday, May 30 8:30 PM
BY PAMELA POLSTON
N
ew Fleming Museum curator Aimee Marcereau DeGalan had an auspicious introduction to the Green Mountain state. Flying in for her interview, she was seated next to Patricia Brennan, who works in development at the University of Vermont. President Dan Fogel was on the plane as well. “It was cosmic,� says DeGalan. That’s not why she got the job, but it gave her a taste of things to come. The Fleming has been curatorless since last September, when the previous job holder, Evelyn Hanks, departed for a position at the Hirschhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. But the wait ended when Director Janie Cohen decided to hire DeGalan, who earned her PhD in art history just last year at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. The 37-yearold has “an exceptionally strong art historical and curatorial background with years of experience working with major collections at the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Detroit Institute of Arts,� says Cohen. “Aimee’s area of specialization is 18th-century European painting, while recent experience working with contemporary artists has excited her interest in this area as well.� Cohen suggests the Fleming will offer plenty of opportunities to delve into both historical and contemporary curating. While the museum often brings in worldclass exhibits, its own diverse collections — more than 20,000 objects spanning the history of civilization — provide a lot to play with. DeGalan is “genuinely excited,� she says, to oversee this treasure trove. She was struck by, for example, the work of Vermont artist Hilda Belcher (1881-1963), whom she’d not heard of before. And because of her focus on British painting, DeGalan noted the Fleming’s portraiture of that provenance. “There’s one by Thomas Hudson [1701-1779] not on view that I hope to bring out soon,� she declares. She’s also thinking small: “A project I’m working on in Cleveland is portrait miniatures — some of them are an inch and a half to 3

inches tall,� DeGalan says. “I was excited to see that the Fleming had some miniatures, including one of George Washington.� This curator clearly enjoys pulling things out of the closet for a fresh look. At the Detroit Institute of Arts, she says, “I did a show called ‘Beauties in the Basement.’ I went through the works and brought up things that hadn’t been shown for 40 years — many [local gallery-goers] hadn’t seen them since they were children.� Putting the objects in a new context gave viewers a different frame of reference, something DeGalan strives for in an exhibition. This interest in making fresh connections was evident, too, in her dissertation project. Entitled “Dangerous Beauty: Painted Canvases and Painted Faces in Eighteenth-Century Britain,� DeGalan’s research found a link between the makeup women wore 200 years ago and the paint artists used to depict them. What they had in common was deadly. “Both substances contained lead and mercury,� DeGalan points out. Women knew their “pursuit
of beautyâ€? was potentially fatal, she adds, and yet “they continued it with abandon.â€? Now, there’s a subject with timeless resonance. DeGalan is a Michigan native, from suburban Detroit — though her name suggests she just arrived from Paris. “On my father’s side, my great-grandfather was French,â€? she explains. “My mom’s side is French-Canadian, so I got a double whammy.â€? Despite having relatives in QuĂŠbec, DeGalan had never been in Vermont before arriving for her interview at the Fleming. Having secured a place to live on Burlington’s Park Street, she says she’s excited to explore the state as well as the museum. And she’s pleased by the scale of both. “At a large institution you can’t move very quickly,â€? DeGalan notes, “whereas, at the Fleming, they’re very eager to do lots of things and raise their profile. I had been a final candidate at other large institutions, but I thought about it and decided I could have a bigger impact [in Vermont].â€? Besides, she adds, “I just loved everyone I met up there.â€? >

15 years ago. Then he became obsessed with the medium. Happily, Callahan managed to turn his passion into a living — painting pet portraits — thanks to his yellow Lab, Addison. “He just changed my life, and inspired me in so many ways,� says Callahan. “I’ve painted him over 100 times. He was just my best friend.� That explains the curious name of Callahan’s business: Dog Tired Studio. Owners bring him their pups — or just photos — and he paints them with skill and affection. He captures breeds from Dalmatians to pugs to black Labs (there’ve been a few sheep, too), as well as the unique characteristics of individual animals. “I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like,� says Cal-
lahan. “They’re honest, and they’re filled with love.� Of course, the cruise won’t be about canines. It will be about the land and lake on view from the Moonlight Lady. And that’s just fine with Callahan. “I tend to try to paint wherever I go,� he says.
“If I have to travel, I paint in the airport, on the plane, everywhere. Watercolor is such a great medium in that respect — you can pack it anywhere you want and just paint. I see it as a challenge to paint wherever I can.� This time, the challenge includes a slight rocking motion. “The interesting part of this cruise will be to actually live with a group of people and share with them my knowledge of watercolor,� explains Callahan. “We can just talk about art and paint in such a beautiful landscape.� Want to get on board?

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
If this is your time for rings, let’s get together.
Gin’s been associated with bad behavior ever since a change in laws governing distillation and a resulting drop in retail price helped make it the official beverage of the rowdy working classes in 18th-century London. But while a number of studies have looked at different drinks and their effects on the drinker’s comportment, none seems to have singled out gin for scrutiny. So what have the academics learned? Let’s survey the literature: A 1975 experiment performed by Kent State researchers Stuart Taylor and Charles Gammon was one of many to use the “aggression machine” paradigm, developed by psychologist Arnold Buss at the University of Pittsburgh in the early ‘60s. In Taylor and Gammon’s version, 40 male subjects were given either a small or large quantity of vodka or bourbon — mixed liberally with ginger ale and a dash of peppermint oil so they wouldn’t know what they were getting. (Oddly enough, this cocktail never caught on.) Then, after some time had elapsed, each was seated at a control panel with an electrode strapped to his wrist. He was told he’d be competing in a series of reaction-time tests against an unseen opponent; the winner of each round would select the intensity of an electric shock to be received by the loser. The whole thing was, of course, rigged — there was no opponent, and all the subjects “won” and “lost” the same number of trials and received shocks of the same gradually increasing intensity. The results: Subjects in the high-dose vodka group zapped their nonexistent opponents with stronger shocks and were much more likely to repeatedly select the highest possible voltage. In post-test questioning, the high-dose vodka group was also more likely to impute hostility to the opponent than the low-dose group, whereas the high-dose bourbon group was less prone than the low-dose group to describe the opponent as hostile. In a McGill University study (Murdoch and Pihl, 1988), surveyors went out to Montréal bars, identified 38 men who had been drinking either beer or liquor exclusively, and then had confederates — posing as fellow patrons but wired for sound — bother the men with a scripted sequence of four mildly onerous requests (for the time, change for a dollar, a piece of paper to write on, and directions to a made-up street). Adjusting for estimated blood-alcohol level, the researchers found that the liquor drinkers tended to become more aggressive in their responses as the interaction ensued, while the beer drinkers maintained a more even keel. Swedish social scientist Roland Gustafson fired up the aggression machine again for a 1999 study. This time 90 subjects (again all male) were given beer, red wine, vodka and tonic, or a nonalcoholic placebo version of one of these drinks. Again hard liquor consumption correlated with aggression: the vodka drinkers subjected their fictitious opponents to stronger and longer-lasting shocks than the beer and wine drinkers did. But the
ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO
Dear Cecil, Do hard liquors have different psychological effects on an individual? Is there any truth to the common understanding that gin makes people mean? Off to conduct personal research . . . Jasmine
placebo vodka had the same effect — subjects who merely thought they’d drunk a significant quantity of vodka scored as more aggressive than those who actually had drunk beer or wine. What does all this tell us? Unclear. Lots of factors — how fast you drink, whether the drink is carbonated, etc. — can affect how alcohol makes it into your system and thus how it affects you. It’s also possible that the secondary chemicals (i.e., besides the alcohol itself ) that give different alcoholic beverages their distinct qualities — they’re called congeners — have pharmacological properties that account for the disparities in aggressive behavior. But this wouldn’t account for the placebo effect discussed above. Gustafson and others suggest that drinkers may expect to be affected by different drinks in different ways, then behave in accordance with their expectations. So it may be that gin makes you mean, but drinking gin may also provide an opportunity to act mean. A friend of mine told me that if I “drank” alcohol through my arse that I would get drunk really quickly and on far less alcohol. Can this be true? If so, how come you never see people doing handstands with a bottle stuck up their arse? D.B., Ireland

Well, a big reason one rarely sees such a sight is that enemas have the potential to get messy enough without getting all Cirque du Soleil about it. But another is that even when administered in a more controlled fashion, alcohol enemas are potentially lethal. (Some of you may recall an unfortunate Texas case involving several liters of sherry.) Ethanol can be absorbed very quickly through the intestinal walls, so bypassing the normal ingestion route may mean getting a lot more to drink than you bargained for. CECIL ADAMS

ON THE PUBLIC USES AND ABUSES OF EMOTION
Non-Consumer Confidence
M
arx believed that the edifice of capitalism was built upon misery, and misery would bring the edifice down. To increase productivity and profit, he reasoned, bosses assembled workers in factories. Once there, though, the workers would soon notice that they were all similarly miserable — and that they outnumbered the bosses. The workers would organize and overthrow the bosses. Capital created its own revolutionary proletariat, Marx concluded: The system contained “the seeds of its own destruction.” What old Karl did not predict was capital’s ability to pay workers enough to buy SUVs and flat-screen TVs — to emulate, albeit in knock-off form, the lives of the bosses. He didn’t predict that economic growth in the richest nations would come to depend not on the production of those cars and TVs, but on their consumption. It didn’t occur to Marx that capitalism would prosper not on misery but on pleasure, and on the faith in future happiness secured by wages sufficient to buy more cars, more televisions, and more pleasure — consumer “confidence.” He didn’t imagine that this edifice built not of steel but of gossamer — of optimism — would tremble only when that optimism started to evaporate. But that’s what is happening now. Pushed by the expectation of misery — by mounting layoffs, stagnant wages and the spreading mortgage crisis — “consumer sentiment” plummeted in April to its lowest level since 1993. Shoppers aren’t shopping. Homeowners who still have mortgages are staying put, forgoing the kitchen renovations and in-ground swimming pools. Meanwhile, with each bit of marginally good news — a stock price rise for Freddie Mac, a not-too-terrible inflation report from the government — Wall Street and its businesspage boosters shout optimism from the rooftops, as if to convince themselves, and the rest of us, that it’s time to get out there and rally. “The vast bulk of the housing contraction is behind us,” declared a keynote speaker at the National Association of Home Builders in February, forecasting “more vigorous economic growth following tax rebates by mid-year that will set up a recovery beginning in 2009.” “S&P’s Optimistic Outlook on Financial Crises Sparks Turnaround on Wall Street,” the Associated Press headlined in March. “Wall Street Shows Optimism That Crisis Is Fading,” reported The New York Times in April. “Despite a drumbeat of bad economic news, the stock market is up — almost 11 percent in the last few weeks,” read the International Herald “Poli Psy” is a monthly column that can also be read on sevendaysvt.com. To reach Judith Levine, email levine@sevendaysvt.com.
Tribune the first week of May. The article noted that, just as “bankers and investors appear ready to look past the crisis to more profitable times . . . consumers find themselves in a more precarious position as the job market weakens and banks make it harder to borrow money.” That’s an ominous bit of reality for Wall Street, which knows that if consumers don’t rally, investors won’t do so for long, either. The traders resemble a family gathered around Grandma’s death-bed, smiling brightly each time she opens her eyes. But the more the family grins, the surer Grandma gets that her prospects are grim. In fact, she realizes they are counting on her to cheer them up. We’re all Grandma. While the pink slips flutter around us, we’re exhorted to remain confident. While our credit card balances balloon and our mortgage payments come due, we’re coaxed to borrow more. It’s an impossible proposition, both practically and emotionally: Save the economy (and thus ourselves) by destroying ourselves.
That’s not optimism, it’s harikiri. Maybe it’s this topsy-turvy emotional atmosphere, but I’ve got a perverse secret to confess: I’m kind of looking forward to the recession. I’ve got no illusions. It isn’t going to be pretty, as the lines at the food pantries grow. As we slide down the other side of Peak Oil, things will probably get worse before they get better. Before we descend into Road Warrior-esque battle, we’ll feel our furnaces go cold. Before that, our little luxuries will vanish. I’m already starting to miss pineapples. On the other hand, downturns have their upsides. The gas crisis of the 1970s launched a movement of organic gardeners and appropriate-technology tinkerers. Today, what no amount of doomsaying from Al Gore or cajoling from Bill McKibben could accomplish, the $80 gas pump tab is getting done. Last month, for the first time ever, one in five vehicles sold in the U.S. was a compact or subcompact car — compared with one in eight 10
years ago, when the SUV was king. What the American Heart Association and an army of health columnists could not change, the $2 bag of corn chips is changing. The Portland, Oregon, Press Herald quotes a woman who is reducing her grocery bills by cutting back on snack foods for herself and her son. Though she “wouldn’t normally call herself a pennypincher,” she says, “the real thrifty people must be having coronaries right now.” Or not. Another woman photographed for the article allows that she’s saving gas money by walking to the supermarket. Her picture indicates that she can use the exercise. OK, so America is getting greener and fitter in spite of itself. But can we be happy in a recession? I can only say I have been. I lived in New York in the 1970s, when the city was teetering near bankruptcy. The place was weedy, seedy, wild, raunchy, cheap, creative and, in many ways, far easier to live in than its current corporatized, manicured, hyper-policed incarnation.

Back then, the landlord might have neglected to send up the heat now and then. But he wasn’t trying to force you out to make room for the next sportsstadium-cum-luxury-condominium mega-development. Friends who grew up in Vermont or moved here in the 1960s or ’70s admit to similar feelings. Back then, good jobs
then there’s what I’d call “nonconsumer confidence� — knowing you can live happily working less, earning less, and buying less. As for optimism, we can start from scratch on that, since America’s supply is virtually depleted. A Washington Post /ABC News poll last week found that eight in 10
What no amount of doomsaying from Al Gore or cajoling from Bill McKibben could accomplish, the $80 gas pump tab is getting done. in the state were few. Land was literally dirt-cheap; 25 years ago, my partner bought his house and 40 acres in Hardwick for $36,000. Vermont was poor. But a limited number of decent-paying jobs and low property values also kept communities stable. Generation after generation could buy homes and take up their fathers’ and mothers’ trades, plant a garden, volunteer at church, and drop the kids off after school at Grandma’s a few houses away. Nobody was renovating the farmhouse down the road, then demanding that the farmer next door clean up that smelly manure. I don’t want to rewrite history all fuzzy and nostalgic. In the 1970s in New York, I got mugged — several times. The subways stalled and the garbage piled up on Sundays. In Vermont, economic scarcity sent more people migrating out of the state than into it, from the 1850s through the 1960s. If the home-price climb relents now, as it’s showing signs of doing, younger families and lower-income folks may no longer be squeezed out of the housing market — and those wanting to sell, retire, and move will be squeezed in. All I’m just saying is, there are more ways to gauge economic health than the single measure we’ve got — growth — and other ways to feel about it than “bigger is better and smaller is scary.� For instance, there’s the “security� of expecting ever-rising wages and ever-multiplying home values. And there’s the security of knowing you and your friends can stay in your community because prices will remain more or less the same. There’s consumer confidence, the feeling that you’ll be able to keep buying stuff forever. And
Americans believe the nation is headed in the wrong direction. In last month’s similar CBS poll, only one in five said the economy was in good shape. Marx, and the Marxists I grew up with, would look at these figures, see misery — and incipient revolution — and cheer as loudly as stock traders at the end of a record day for the Dow. It’s true that pain, or at least caution, is motivating the new small-car-driving, snack-food-limiting, walking, non-renovating American. And that’s a bummer for the growth economy. In this way, consumer capitalism, the capitalism of confidence, contains the seeds of its own destruction. But unless the recession goes on endlessly — which no one wants it to — people are going to need more than misery and fear to stick with their Civics and keep off the Fritos. And just as Wall Street can’t persuade the realistically glum to act as if everything is hunky-dory, it is hard to convince those who feel their lives are shrinking that they’re actually living as large as before — just differently. In the long run, pleasure is a better motivator than pain. But if the economy is going to depend on the populace feeling good, it needs to give us something better than cars and TVs to feel good about. I’d start with sustainability, which would also reduce a lot of anxiety. Meanwhile, by miring dreams of building and buying in melted-down credit and $125-a-barrel oil, the recession forces us to take time out, and gives us time to experience some different kinds of happiness, and new reasons for optimism. It’s already working for me. Each proposed monster ski resort or McMansion village that bites the dust makes me feel a little bit better. �
Compact fluorescent light bulbs, or CFLs, can be used almost anywhere. They come in a range of sizes, shapes, wattages and brightness. There are dimmables, reflectors (floodlights) and covered bulbs. And, if you replace your six most-used bulbs with CFLs, you can certainly create an energy-efficient home.

Corps, which patrols the Mexican border looking for illegal immigrants to roust. He visited the set of CNN’s “The Lou Dobbs Report� without the consent of the network’s suits, and snuck into an annual meeting of ExxonMobil shareholders with a nun. Sirota also returned to Capitol Hill to visit his former boss, now Senator Sanders. But for security reasons, to spend time with the lawmaker in the halls of Congress, he had to persuade a congressional staffer to “hire� him as an intern. Sirota recounts this episode in a chapter called “The Permanent Barrier,� his term for the institutions — from superdelegates to the media to corporate lobbyists to the “protest industry� — that stand in the way of disparate uprisings trying to become full-throated populist movements. Sirota notes that America has been down this road many times. The trust-busting Progressive era, the New Deal, the Vietnamera antiwar campaign, the candidacies of George Wallace, Ross Perot and Ralph Nader — all were fueled by an angry backlash against what was perceived as an entrenched and corrupt status quo. He also points out that populist movements have had “mixed success.� In fact, by the end of The Uprising, Sirota’s own idealism has been tamped down a bit. “Are these the visions of what can be?� he asks himself. “Or are they merely apparitions . . .� Sirota said he decided to launch his twomonth nationwide book tour in Burlington, on May 27, because Vermont is where he got his start in progressive politics. It’s also a state, he told Seven Days in an interview last week from his home in Denver, that “has been ahead of the curve� on issues fueling the populist uprising elsewhere. “I think Bernie is a reflection of that,� Sirota said. “His ability to win in both Burlington and parts of the Northeast Kingdom shows the uniqueness of Vermont politics, and it actually shows the best, shining example of how you can have a populist politics that does redefine American politics across boundaries that we think are intractable.�
SEVEN DAYS | may 21-28, 2008 | feature 25A
SEVEN DAYS: You document a lot of anger among different groups and interests in The Uprising. What’s driving these people to act? DS: In the book, I call it subjugation psychology — this sense of grievance, a backlash of anger at what’s going on. In some ways, it’s a desire for political retribution . . . It’s also a question of what political activism is all about. Right now, political activism is defined by social issues, cultural issues. I’m not saying they aren’t important, but I think right now we face a moment where there might be a fundamental realignment, of people seeing political activism, first and foremost, as an economic endeavor. SD: One uprising you write about is occurring among well-paid, white-collar workers who aren’t known for collective action. Did that surprise you? DS: The quote that stuck out in that chapter is, they don’t see themselves as garbage collectors and teamsters. But they are starting to think in the same economic terms, which is amazing. These are the kind of people, in an industry, who should be most antithetical to that. The tech world is entrepreneurial. The workers have more affinity to management than typical workers. Yet that’s starting to break down, and I think it’s because of the economic forces that have created this backlash. SD: You note the history of progressive populist movements, such as the
Season Opening May 24!
SD: Do you think there will be a galvanizing moment for progressives, like 1980 was for conservatives? DS: It’s possible. I have an audiovisual presentation I’m going to be giving on the tour that actually likens what we’re going through now to pre-election 1980 . . . There are really, really close similarities. There was an oil crisis, a financial crisis in ’79. There was obviously the Middle East crisis with the hostage situation in Iran. It’s very analogous to what’s going on now: oil crisis, financial crisis, Middle East crisis. SD: You begin and end The Uprising at the epicenter of the Netroots — the YearlyKos convention. You also mention research that found that Internet-based political activists are largely white, well educated and wellto-do. Does that demographic bode well or ill for a progressive uprising? DS: You know, you can’t really be a movement without being broad-based, without being grassroots, without giving up control, without being small-D democratic. The problem is that the Netroots and MoveOn and various other institutions don’t just have trouble with democracy; they’re completely undemocratic. The leaders decide what they want to do and who the leaders are, and that’s the end of it. The only channels of influence are the ones that the people leading it decide to offer out of the goodness of their hearts. I think that that can weaken or prevent an uprising from becoming a movement.

The trust-busting Progressive era, the New Deal, the Vietnam-era antiwar campaign, the candidacies of George Wallace, Ross Perot and Ralph Nader — all were fueled by an angry backlash against what was perceived as an entrenched and corrupt status quo. New Deal, the civil-rights movement and others. Yet, in recent times, conservatives have had better success channeling populist sentiments into actual change. Why is that? DS: Everything is gradual, but I would say the moment was 1980, when one of the conservative uprising’s ideologues [Ronald Reagan] became the president, and over the last 20, 25 years, that movement has dominated. In many ways it really has been a real grassroots movement. But we’re at a situation now where that movement has, I think, run its course. SD: What accounts for the end of this particular era? DS: Back then, there was certainly anger at the government, but people still showed confidence in big business and the financial system. Now, not only is confidence in Congress and in the presidency as an institution gone, but confidence in basic societal institutions like business and banks and the financial system has also crumbled. It’s compounded by the fact that the conservative movement, in the public’s mind and in reality, has aligned itself or become synonymous with corruption. I think that actually bodes well for a progressive populism. Progressives are in a much better position to offer a critique of corporate power than conservatives are.
SD: Are any of the candidates for the White House capable of connecting with the uprising? DS: I certainly think that Barack Obama comes out of a place that is more prone to understanding this. He was a community organizer, and when you learn about the actual internal mechanics of his campaign, it’s not really a command-and-control operation from national headquarters. But I think we fool ourselves by thinking any candidate is a movement. Movements exist independently of candidates to pressure them. Candidates are vehicles for movements. Interestingly enough, I think the fact that Obama has been, in some sense, not really paying much attention to the Netroots or to MoveOn is a commentary on the state of where the movement is. SD: How so? DS: MoveOn is now jumping on to endorse [Obama], putting a lot of machinery into just airing ads for him. That’s a commentary on the fact that MoveOn hasn’t differentiated itself as a movement. It has become, in many ways, a candidate vehicle. They really haven’t differentiated themselves as an organization that will pressure Democrats on issues . . . That’s the difference between organizations that are closer to broadening and expanding and building a real movement and organizations that are still in that primordial uprising stage.

DS: The Working Families Party, for one, will still have a lot of work to be done if Barack Obama is elected president. Their existence is not in any way threatened by a Barack Obama presidency. The labor movement is not in any way threatened by a Barack Obama presidency. There will be disagreements on issues, but its fundamental existence is not threatened. SD: You found a lot of populist anger on the right, as well. What if John McCain were elected president?

FROM THE UPRISING Up until August of 1999, I was your typical brainwashed suburban Democrat. Democrats were great, Republicans were evil, and that was about as complex as it got for me. I carried this simpleton mindset into my work with Sanders, until about a month into the job, when I made my very first trip to Vermont. As the US Airways prop plane from D.C. swung back and forth in a gusty breeze over Lake Champlain, my white-knuckled fright subsided momentarily when [an aid] told me I’d be accompanying Sanders to a Vermont town meeting during my visit. I chuckled at the term “Vermont town meeting,” thinking of ultraconservative Pilgrims in an Independence Hall-like building being stirred into an angry froth by a stern-faced preacher demanding the local witch and warlock be burned at the stake. Funny, the scene at St. Michael’s College in Burlington was a lot like that. Though no one was wearing black shoes or hats with gold buckles on them or eating a big Thanksgiving turkey with Indians, a throng of seven hundred middle-aged IBM workers that summer evening was whipped into a frenzy by a congressman — my new boss — delivering an economic sermon on the mount. Long arms in the air, he verbally crucified Big Blue for its recent decision to slash promised retirement benefits. He specifically laced into IBM’s CEO Lou Gerstner for paying himself $14 million a year while telling workers their pensions “were not worth the paper that they had been written on.” . . . That this meeting of white-collar Republican-leaning tech workers was organized by America’s most famous socialist convinced me just how little I — and many others — understood about the guy I was now working for. At the beginning of the night, these folks were the antithesis of what you would expect to be a welcoming audience for a congressman derided as a “leftist” or a kook by the media. They were a murmuring group of buttoned up, golf-on-Saturday, church-and-football-onSunday Rotarians. After about an hour with Sanders, they were a fist-pumping mob of radicalized rage — an uprising that went on to organize itself and successfully fight IBM’s cutbacks. They had fallen under the trance of one of Sanders’s special uprising spells: the ability to package complex economic issues into us-versus-them, you’re-with-me-or-you’re-against-me choices. In this particular case, he cut straight through the spin from IBM’s press flacks and contrasted the pension cutbacks with IBM’s profits and its CEO’s paycheck. On other complex issues — from trade to drug prices to agricultural subsidies — it’s the same method, and his fight-for-the-little-guy consistency has given him the haloed straight-shooter image that every politician dreams of — the one where people say “I may not agree with him on everything, but I know where he’s coming from.”
McCain, if he were to become president, would recreate a niche for an ideological grassroots conservative movement. I actually think some conservatives are thinking maybe the best thing to have happen would be for John McCain to become president. Then they’d have a reason to rebuild a conservative movement to put pressure on him. I think McCain’s critics have not only fallen in line because he’s a fellow Republican, but they realize he will create space for a rebuilding of the conservative ideological movement. SD: You cite numerous examples of the establishment media’s disdain for, and even fear of, populist uprisings. How has that influenced the political landscape? DS: I think people get a sense that the media is just as different and odious as the politicians. I think a 2x6-OGX052108.indd 1
5/19/08 5:00:23 PM
lot of people see it as all one corrupt, immoral, out-of-touch blob. The forces that have made the media like this are really powerful — the corporate media, media consolidation, the culture of Washington political media, where pundits are friends of the people they are covering. It’s all just one class of people. I will say the silver lining is, as newspapers struggle right now, there is clearly an audience for a different kind of media. SD: You obviously see Lou Dobbs as someone who can reach this audience. DS: I think Dobbs and Bill O’Reilly — who I can’t stand, and I have problems with some of the things Dobbs says — show there is a potentially large audience for media figures and institutions that know how to represent that populism and that sense of powerchallenging independence.
SD: At the end of The Uprising, you question whether, despite the growing influence of the Netroots, the progressive uprising can become a full-fledged movement. Why? DS: The political topography is out there for this to become a real movement, but it will take a real appreciation among the participants about what a real movement is. A movement is a lot of different things, but first and foremost, it’s something that ordinary people feel ownership over. Right now, a lot of it is still focused on a media strategy, on an inside-pressure strategy. There’s this obsession with the media glamour of politics, as opposed to politics as a vehicle for change, whether you get media attention or not. I don’t have an answer to whether progressives will get past that. �

BLOWING IT? While neighboring states move ahead on wind energy, Vermont is spinning its wheels story: Ken Picard
T
he Holsteins grazing in the pasture of the St. Lawrence Valley Dairy in Chateaugay, N.Y., seem oblivious to the massive white turbines churning the air above them. Chris Recore’s 96 milkers hear louder noises as they chew their cud: the drone of the milking machine, the rumble of tractors, even the belching and mooing of the herd itself. Press your ear against the tower — it’s about the girth of a California Redwood — and it’s quieter than a hair dryer. When the grass grows back, Recore expects his cows to graze directly under the spinning blades, unfazed. “They don’t make half the noise people think they do,” he says. “Unless you’re listening for it, you can’t hear nothing.” Recore should know. For the last nine months, he and his family have been living in the midst of the nearly completed Clinton and Ellenburg wind parks. From his pasture on the Clinton/Franklin county line, Recore can see 32 turbines, each one standing 389 feet high from its base to the tip of the blade — taller than the Capitol Dome in Washington, D.C., and London’s Big Ben. Each turbine can generate 1.5 megawatts, enough electricity to power 500 homes. Eventually, the two parks will boast 122 turbines, enough to power 60,000 homes with clean and renewable energy. That’s assuming, of course, the wind is blowing, which it does much of the time on this high plateau north of the Adirondack Park. The wind parks’ owner, Noble Environmental Power, was founded in 2004 and already has 4000 megawatts of wind power in development nationwide. This summer, Noble plans to break ground on a 150turbine project in Altona and Chateaugay, east of Recore’s farm. When those turbines are up, this will be the largest wind complex east of the Mississippi, capable of powering 136,000 homes. A few miles away on Route 11 in Churubusco is Dick’s Country Store, an eclectic establishment that sells everything from cold cuts to shotguns to highend electric guitars. Owner Dick Decosse, who’s lived here since 1962, is wary of giving another press interview about the turbines outside his door. He says the wind parks were never very controversial in the first place, despite news articles to the contrary. “[Reporters] always want to keep all the controversy going,” he grouses. “There isn’t any controversy anymore. It’s a done deal! But controversy sells newspapers, so that’s what they want.” Decosse claims that, before the turbines even went up, at least 80 percent of the community was in favor of them. Such support is understandable in this rural, economically depressed region. According to Noble Environmental, the Clinton project alone will inject more than $150 million into the local economy over the next 20 years. Individual landowners can earn between $9000 and $12,000 annually per turbine. Decosse and Recore both say that since the towers went up, their property taxes have gone down. “It’s tough to make a go living off the land these days, so this will help a lot of farmers,” Decosse adds. “It’s a resource that blows across my front door, whether I use it or not. So, why not use it?”

Across Lake Champlain, many Vermonters are asking the same question. While wind energy sails along at a healthy clip in New York and much of New England, in Vermont it’s been as flaccid as a limp windsock. Currently, all of Vermont’s grid-scale wind power — a meager 6 megawatts total — comes from 11 turbines in Searsburg, in southern Vermont. A 16-turbine project in Sheffield is due to break ground later this year, but that is by no means a done deal. If it does move forward, the modest project would increase Vermont’s wind energy output fivefold.
On this side of the border, wind energy has gained the most support in Maine. Last month, both houses of the Maine Legislature unanimously approved a bill allowing the development of at least 2000 megawatts of wind power in the state by 2015, and at least 3000 by 2020. That would make Maine one of the top wind-energy generators on the East Coast. Massachusetts’ wind energy plans are more modest, but only New Hampshire, which lacks the transmission infrastructure that Vermont has, generates less of its power from wind than does the Green Mountain State. Peter Didisheim, advocacy director for the
It’s a resource that blows across my front door, whether I use it or not. So, why not use it? DICK DECOSSE, CHURUBUSCO, N.Y.
That’s still a pittance compared to Vermont’s neighbors. New York State has set a goal of meeting 25 percent of its energy needs from renewable sources, including wind, by 2013. Several weeks ago, Canadian utility giant Hydro-Québec announced it had accepted 15 bids for 2004 megawatts of new wind power, which is due to come online between 2011 and 2015. Hydro-Québec expects to be generating at least 3500 megawatts from wind by 2017.
Natural Resources Council of Maine, who was instrumental in that state’s landmark wind legislation, is perplexed by Vermont’s reluctant embrace of wind power. “It’s disappointing that the state that got Searsburg built, the first utility-scale wind project in New England, has had trouble following it up with anything else of significance,” Didisheim says. >> 30A

Despite the state’s clean-andgreen ethic and polls showing that three out of four residents would support it in their own backyards, wind projects have faced stiff regulatory resistance in Vermont. Proponents say that getting approval from the Public Service Board (PSB) is difficult, if not arbitrary. That’s not surprising, considering that Gov. Jim Douglas has made no secret of his distaste for wind projects on Vermont’s ridgelines. The Department of Public Service (DPS) has been lukewarm in its support for wind as well. Of the 29 applications submitted to DPS this year for $3.2 million in state money for clean-energy projects, only one wind project was funded.
tive to other utilities, notably, nuclear power. Unlike the Vermont Yankee plant, the proposed Sheffield wind farm is required to be bonded and to maintain a fully funded decommissioning account before it could be licensed and constructed — despite the fact that dismantling a wind turbine is vastly cheaper and safer than is decommissioning a spent nuclear reactor. However, it doesn’t take an entire government bureaucracy to stymie wind power in Vermont. Sometimes a few neighbors — or, in the case of Teal Farm in Huntington, one man — can bring an entire project to a grinding halt. While wind opponents say the Huntington case high-

Wind energy advocates point out that if the ultimate goal is to keep projects “Vermont-sized,� as Douglas has suggested, having a costly and time-consuming permitting process is actually counterproductive. As it is now, only big corporations and the ultrawealthy can afford to stay in the game. Andy Perchlik with Renewable Energy Vermont, a nonprofit trade organization, ticks off a list of several wind projects, both large and small, that died because the developers couldn’t afford the various studies required by the state. “Right now, we’re making everyone go through this permitting process that was built for a different paradigm,� he argues. “How many companies,� Perchlik asks, “can afford to risk three years and $3 million?� As Seven Days first reported in December 2007, the PSB has long maintained a double standard for wind development rela-
lights how the system is supposed to function, advocates say it helps explain why wind power in Vermont is in serious trouble.
Teal Farm, a 1297-acre spread at the knee of Camel’s Hump, was conceived on an elegantly simple idea: Human systems, like natural ecosystems, can be mutually supportive rather than depletive. Located on a remote hillside, Teal Farm is susceptible to frequent power outages caused by blow-downs, ice storms and tree branches touching the power lines. To counter the whims of the grid, Melissa Hoffman, founder and executive director of the LivingFuture Foundation, set out to create a self-contained and self-sustaining system — residences, orchards, croplands, even a food-processing facility — in which all energy needs are derived from the sun, whether through >> 32A

photovoltaic panels, micro-hydroelectric systems, biomass, biofuels or wind power. Toward that end, Hoffman, with help from the foundation’s associate director Amy Seidl, designed an energy system that would ebb and flow with nature’s cycles. When the sun is shining, the farm would draw its power from solar panels. When it isn’t, the wind would turn a 6-kilowatt turbine on a nearby hillside. Any excess power would be stored in batteries or “bankedâ€? by pumping water uphill into a pond that could later be released to generate micro-hydroelectric power. But as Hoffman readily admits today, “The bubble of our naivetĂŠ was broken in how complex and grandiose our vision was.â€? Part of that naivetĂŠ included the very real challenges of getting a permit for something as seemingly benign as a 6-kilowatt wind turbine. In October 2006, Teal Farm applied for a certificate of public good from the PSB. The board rejected the application, ruling that the Teal Farm wind project would have “an undue adverse effectâ€? on the aesthetics and scenic natural beauty of the area. Hoffman filed an amended application, offering to lower the tower in exchange for installing a larger, 15-kilowatt turbine — with excess power fed back into the grid. The PSB again rejected the permit and urged the LivingFuture Foundation to work with its neighbors “to find a location that would be acceptable to all parties in this proceeding.â€? One alternative site considered was a grassy meadow, known as East Knoll, about 500 feet below the existing tower. But according to Hoffman, the East Knoll is

foot wooded hilltop. As it happened, only one found the project objectionable: E. Miles Prentice III. Prentice is a New York City attorney who owns a spectacular piece of real estate with nearly unobstructed, panoramic views of Mt. Abe, Camel’s Hump and more of the Green Mountains. His house sits more than 2000 feet from Teal Farm’s wind tower.
Rath says his client is concerned about a different landscape, namely, Vermont’s scenic ridges. It’s a position, he adds, upheld by every regulatory body that’s reviewed the case. “Many people from Huntington have told me that they’re grateful Miles Prentice is protecting the aesthetic quality of that ridgeline,� he says.
For people to just sit back and take no responsibility for the impact their appliances have on the environment is just irresponsible. REP. ROBERT DOSTIS (D-WATERBURY)

completely blocked by hillsides to the southeast and northwest, the direction of the prevailing winds. The foundation’s own wind expert has said the energy output at East Knoll would probably be diminished 22 percent, raising the likelihood that it’s not feasible to erect a turbine there at all. As Seidl puts it, “It’s sort of like someone saying, ‘Here are some solar panels. Now go put them in the shade.’ It doesn’t make any sense.� As is typically required of permit applicants, Hoffman and Seidl had notified all 32 of their neighbors to find out if any of them objected to the turbine and its 120-foot tower, which had already been erected on a 1650-
From his property, it looks like a needle poking above the tree line. By his own admission — or, rather, that of his Hinesburg attorney, David Rath (Prentice declined an interview request from Seven Days) — the New Yorker only visits his Vermont property three or four times a year. Rath, however, resents that the controversy is being framed as a conflict between a wealthy, outof-state resident and local residents. He says it’s “irrelevant� that his client rarely visits his Vermont property, and he’s quick to point out that Prentice was born in Montpelier and serves on the board of directors for the Shelburne Museum.
But others express disgust that the Teal Farm windmill isn’t turning yet. Anjanette DeCarlo Merino says the project is “about more than just the turbine.� Hoffman intends to incorporate the community into her project, offering summer jobs to teens, providing a local and sustainable food resource and, if permitted, wind power for nearby homes and businesses. “As a community, we accepted this project and feel very attached to what Melissa is doing up there,� Merino says. “Is Vermont a state that’s just going to cater to our big-money people who have vacation places here?� Fred Bisbee, a carpenter who’s

lived in Huntington for 13 years and can see the wind tower from his house, agrees. “To be honest, I think windmills are beautiful,� he says. “And no one ever asked me if I mind driving by 800 telephone poles in the course of a day.� In the last 20 months, the LivingFuture Foundation, which has already spent $35,000 on the turbine and another $60,000 on the tower, has poured $80,000 into legal fees related to the project. And the PSB has informed Hoffman that if the foundation wants to move the tower, they’ll have to start the permitting process all over again. Hoffman and Seidl have yet to figure out what they’ll do next. But they fear the precedent that will be set for future wind projects. “As it currently stands, one man’s view can thwart an entire project,� Hoffman says. “This is really going to change the landscape around how permitting can go.� Wind-power advocates hope that a bill signed March 19 by Gov. Jim Douglas will make it easier for wind projects to pass regulatory muster. The bill, S.209, lowers some of the regulatory barriers for developing both small- and large-scale wind projects. Known as the Vermont Energy Efficiency and Affordability Act, it “puts out a welcome mat to large-scale wind developers,� says Rep. Robert Dostis (D-Waterbury), who chairs the House Natural Resources and Energy Committee. Among other things, S.209 provides favorable property tax rates for large-scale wind projects and eases the Act 250 requirement for erecting meteorological towers, the first step in determining where to site turbines. For small-scale wind projects, the bill also made improvements to Vermont’s “net metering� law — that is, the ability of turbine owners to offset their electricity costs by feeding excess power back into the grid. Basically, the new law makes it easier for homeowners, farmers, small businesses and even whole communities to invest cooperatively in small- or medium-sized windmills and share the net-metering benefits. Dostis, whose legislative district includes Huntington and Teal Farm, inserted language into S.209 that calls on the PSB to develop clear aesthetic criteria for net-metered wind projects that are less than 150 feet tall. “We as a state have to get real about our energy future!� Dostis says. “There are tradeoffs with every single power source we have. But for people to just sit back and take no responsibility for the impact their appliances have on the environment is just irresponsible.�
But, as renewable energy sources go, is wind power really all it’s cracked up to be? Paul Kenyon is probably one of the few Vermonters who can say precisely where every kilowatt of electricity in his house comes from and where it goes. A design engineer who installs small energy
systems, including wind turbines, Kenyon lives off the grid in a house in Bridport that draws about one-fifth the electricity of the average American home. Years ago, he worked on the Searsburg project and helped install the original meteorological towers for siting the turbines. Every other month, he visited the site to collect data, sometimes hiking in, other times getting there on skis, snowshoes, ATVs or snowmobiles. “When they finally put the turbines in, they put a chain-link fence around the whole thing and that was the end of that recreation area,â€? Kenyon recalls. “So, that woke me up a bit.â€? Indeed, the more Kenyon researched industrial wind power, the more he questioned the conventional wisdom that says industrial wind power makes sense. Aside from his aesthetic concern that developers will chew up Vermont’s ridgelines with spinning pinwheels, he argues that the nature of wind will never eliminate the need for other sources of power. “It will never replace a coal plant and it will never replace Vermont Yankee,â€? he argues. “If we put only a few in here and there, they’re nothing but of symbolic value.â€? If such an iconoclastic position seems counterproductive to his own business interests, it is. Kenyon explains that people frequently call him and say they want to put up a small wind turbine. He visits the property, takes some measurements and then explains how much it’ll cost and how much electricity it’ll produce. More times than not, he says, people decide not to buy one. “The most common thing I hear is, ‘Wow! You’ve given us something to think about,’â€? he adds. “I could be feathering my nest if I wanted to, but it’s not ethical to do that.â€? Kenyon suspects one reason wind power is popular is its iconic image. In the face of dire warnings about global warming and concerns about the state’s energy future when Vermont Yankee closes, people want to do something, anything, that’s green, even if it’s not cost-effective. Kenyon suggests a more practical, though less sexy solution: Take all the money Vermont would invest in industrial wind and pour it into education, energy efficiency and conservation. While the wind only blows in Vermont 20 percent of the time, efficiency and conservation would be effective 100 percent of the time, and could “trumpâ€? whatever savings wind has to offer. Kenyon readily admits that his opinion puts him squarely in the minority in Vermont, even among the experts, and he’s lost friendships over it. Still, he believes the issue is more complex than it seems and is not easily “sound-biteable.â€? “We should be very careful about what we do to our beautiful spaces,â€? he says. “What we do to them, we do to ourselves.â€? ďż˝

The budding artist is busy imagining a world for the plastic Shrek figure he’s playing with. Kochalka gives his characters the same attentive respect he accords his kids. “I just doodle until I find a character; you go with the one that has a certain little spark of life,” he explains. “After that, I really can’t force them to do anything. They know what they want to do if they’re strong characters. And they surprise you! If they want to do something, there’s nothing I can do to stop them.” Kochalka doesn’t object if those characters turn out to be aggressive, either. The benign version of violence in Johnny Boo — monster eats child, but inadvertently — is far from the horrors of a Hans Christian Andersen story. But in a 2007 interview, the artist asserted that, when it comes to children’s lit, “kids like a little danger and excitement.” His previous book for children, Squirrelly Gray, features a face-off between the title character and a large, fanged fox that

Sales are not likely to be a problem with Kochalka’s latest creation, a graphic novel for children ages 4 to 8 that will hit bookstores in early June. Johnny Boo: The Best Little Ghost in the World is the first in an adventure series featuring a diminutive ghost with a massive quiff and two stubby legs, and his permanently airborne friend Squiggle, shaped like a tiny, upside-down raindrop. In six brief chapters set in a sunny, blue-sky-and-green-grass world, the book depicts the two friends’ encounter with a bumbling ice-cream monster. This gangling cyclops, striped with cheerful bands of yellow and pink scales, is more harmless than his adult size and scary reputation would suggest: All he really wants is ice cream. Unfortunately, along with the pint he devours in one gulp, he accidentally swallows Squiggle. Each friend helps the other out of a difficult spot by prompting him to use his eponymous special power: The ghost’s “boo” power can knock any creature off its feet, while “squiggle power” is a godsend for inducing regurgitation.

American broadcast television, Al Jazeera offers a uniquely in-depth, informed and intelligent view of the world which gives citizens real knowledge and information to make important decisions about the future of the planet. “Average citizens” in Burlington, too, are fiercely opposed to the kind of censorship of the press that fueled the unilateral decision to keep Al Jazeera off the air and out of our view. Those who engaged in this secretive fight against freedom of the press should be aware that the informed citizens of Burlington will not tolerate attacks on their constitutional liberties to make their own decisions about what they see, hear and understand. Sandy Baird BURLINGTON
SURRENDER MONKEY Burlington Telecom has dumped Al Jazeera [“Local Matters,” May 7]. Is this a big deal? After all, all that station has to offer is news in a regional and global context, illumination of complex issues and reporting on topics that perhaps some would rather keep hidden. The suggestion that pressure from Paul Laffal and Jeffrey Kaufman of the Israel Center of Vermont lead to the decision brings shame to all us Jews who were taught to be attentive to the surreptitious disenfranchisement of any ethnic group and to the silencing of voices by those who claim the right to bind and gag the innocent. Well, I have a message to Kaufman and Laffal and the cablebroadcasting surrender-monkey Burlington Telecom: Nie Wieder. We are Americans first and we welcome dissent and extreme views, even as we welcome rational discourse, even if the crazed views are from Falwell, Limbaugh, McCain’s pastor Hagee, or even the extreme political views of the Israel Center — even as they fight to deny the power of the First Amendment of our sacred Constitution. But to silence Arab voices and demonize Arabs as third-rate intellects is to invite the first steps towards ethnic cleansing. As Chris Burns signed the order to cancel Al Jazeera, six million voices cried from the grave: “Nie Wieder.” Daniel Zucker DANVILLE
VIVA LA RICH Nothing like a little class warfare to go with your accordion [Stuck in Vermont #68, May 7]. You featured a funny and obviously talented group of musicians. But I was struck by some of the language used by the group’s members regarding the “rich.” I’m guessing, since this is a target that is politically correct to attack, no one batted an eye, but I’m curious if similar language used about other groups would be tolerated by your fine newspaper. I think it’s important to remember that this type of blanket stereotyping is not helpful, regardless if it’s directed at gays, the rich, welfare moms, Mexicans, etc. I’d encourage the members of Inner Fire District to learn a little more about what “the rich” do for our community, including paying taxes that pay for their beloved
fire department. Oh yeah, and advertise in Seven Days, too. Chris Palmetto BURLINGTON
RHYMES WITH CRIME While I admire Jay Parini for formulating a constructive response to punishment for the teens who vandalized Robert Frost’s home [“Frost Scholar to School Vandals in Creative Sentences,” May 14], I have to wonder: Can teaching the poetry of one of our most famous poet laureates counteract the basic mindset that allows our privileged youth to do $10,000 in damage to a home — any home? One of the students said, “If classes at school had taught me more about our surroundings and Frost’s role, I don’t think things would have gotten to this point.” So by learning about Robert Frost, the poet, you then would be careful not to vandalize his house, but maybe someone else’s house. Joe Smith, down the block, would be okay? Frankly, I think these “good kids” need a lesson in something else, in addition to poetry, like basic common decency and respect for the property and lives of the other beings who inhabit the planet with them.

LEAD DEBATED In last week’s Seven Days, Pike Porter incorrectly stated, “Landlords who, with good intentions (but unwisely), enrolled their properties in the lead abatement program now need to rent to families with children under six years of age” [Letters, May 14]. This is simply not true. Since we are obligated to direct our federal funds to protect those who are most at risk for lead poisoning, we simply ask landlords to make a good-faith effort to market their apartments to families with children under age 6. Despite Porter’s assertion to the contrary, reducing lead paint hazards often relieves landlords’ liability concerns about renting to families with young children, thereby opening up more housing to one group most hurt by housing discrimination. We make our requirements known up front, and landlords are not misled about our program after the fact. We strongly disagree that participation in the Lead Program is “unwise.” The Burlington Lead Program provides free testing, free specification development and free project management and oversight. Enrolling in the program also greatly decreases owner liability from child lead poisonings. The Burlington Lead Program finances projects with grants and zero percent deferred loans. These can be free to Section 8 landlords and mostly free for other rental property owners, usually to replace hazardous windows and repaint flaking exteriors, requiring repayment only when the property is sold. We feel that taking advantage of these services and benefits to landlords and the entire community is in fact a wise choice. Jeff Tanguay BURLINGTON

W STORY
MIKE IVES “Elusive Truths,” mixed-media works by Jess Bachman, John O’Connor, Ward Shelley and Christopher Thompson. Firehouse Gallery, Burlington. Through June 14.
ho has time for an MFA? That’s what artist Christopher Thompson asked himself two years ago, after quitting his job as chief technology officer for Gardener’s Supply. He decided to self-administer his Master’s of Fine Arts in a drafty garage studio. Thompson’s idiosyncratic education produced strange fruit. He discovered the art world is monopolized by a few “blue chip” stars and is perpetuated through high-stakes acquisitions. That’s enough to discourage any artist, especially Thompson, now 45, an encaustic painter who works in the hinterlands rather than the New York City scene. But instead, the information-technology pro channeled his research into provocative graphics that depict chains of influence and power. Some of them can be seen in the current group exhibition at Burlington’s Firehouse Gallery, entitled “Elusive Truths.” One of Thompson’s creations is “Gateway Galleries,” a 3-by-1-foot babyblue diagram that illustrates the connection between Manhattan galleries and artworld bigwigs through a cluster of black lines. “I don’t want to get too much into conspiracy theory,” said the shaggy-haired former hardcore rocker in his studio last week. “But there’s this whole illusion that the art world is going totally global, and it’s not true. The power center is in Chelsea, in New York.” Last winter, Firehouse Gallery Curator Ruth Erickson saw Thompson’s work. She wondered: Would he be interested in producing more of it for a multi-artist exhibit showcasing “information graphics”? Thompson agreed, and secured grants from the Vermont Arts Council and the Vermont Community Foundation to underwrite expenses. When Erickson left her post for graduate school, she ceded curatorial duties to colleague Katie Attanasio. The product of a yearlong collaboration, “Elusive Truths” is at the Firehouse through June 14. In the eight-piece installation “1 day MFA,” Thompson uses components such as a trample-able floor mat that resembles a Twister board to sketch links between such key art-world players as “museum exhibition,” “corporation” and “art trend.” By the rear entrance, a digital ceiling projection juxtaposes an undulating, Ganesh-like figure with stats about canonized artists Joseph Beuys, Marcel Duchamp and Andy Warhol. Thompson cheekily refers to the display as his “Sistine Chapel.” “1 day MFA” is supplemented by the work of three other artists. Graphic designer and part-time Burlingtonian Jess Bachman contributed a coal-black poster, “Death and Taxes,” that breaks down the federal budget into proportionately sized government logos, and a minimalist slide
show in which black dots representing federal funds are projected on a white wall. Joining the Vermonters are New York artists John O’Connor and Ward Shelley, whose quirky drawings riff, respectively, on sociological data and artworld trends. “Information graphics” have been around for at least a few decades. Thompson says he’s indebted to German painter and installation artist Hans Haacke, whose planned 1971 show at the Guggenheim Museum was cancelled when the institution’s execs discovered his piece revealed sensitive information about New York real-estate moguls. Another Thompson inspiration, the late Mark Lombardi, whom Attanasio had hoped to include in the current exhibit, made national headlines in 2003 when the FBI asked to view one of his drawings displayed at the Whitney. Lombardi’s diagram, which National Public Radio likened to “conspiracy art,” documented links between terrorism and global finance. “Elusive Truths” hasn’t inspired any visits from the feds as far as we know, but the stunning show has been turning heads. Bachman’s funereal, 2-by-3-foot “Death and Taxes” poster, which he recently showed on Martha Stewart’s TV show, dares you not to scrutinize its fine print. On a far wall, Shelley’s three biographical timelines entice Church Street pedestrians with pastel-hued bubbles. But ironically enough, while “Elusive Truths” proposes to “expose and decode” information, accessing those insights requires a degree of insider familiarity. For example, Thompson’s 4-by-5-foot “Artists & Themes,” a loud, three-dimensional tangle of square miniatures that represent about 200 contemporary “blue chip” artists and some common aesthetic mantras, is better understood if you actually know who the artists are. (Perhaps that would help explain why the performance artist Joseph Beuys is linked with “food,” “found objects,” “political activism” and “Nazi guilt”?) Ditto for Shelley’s “Addendum to Alfred Barr,” a drawing that positions the former Museum of Modern Art director’s life timeline in linear juxtaposition with information bubbles containing such artsy descriptives as “fauvism,” “fluxus” and “post-painterly abstraction.” The drawing looks simple enough when glimpsed from afar, but without the requisite art-history training, a casual observer struggles to appreciate the nuances of Shelley’s sensibility. “It is a little Chelsea,” Attanasio admitted on a recent afternoon at the Firehouse. Perhaps the least informative — and most beautiful — work in the show is “LOCAL,” a massive drawing by

O’Connor that hangs beside the gallery’s Church Street entrance. Measuring roughly 6 by 4 feet, “LOCAL� lures passersby with frenzied lines and dots of magenta, neon-green and gray. The resulting pattern, a sort of fantastical subway map, distills into abbreviations of all 50 states. Three oddly scientific categories — “overweight or obese adults,� “binge drinkers� and a row of symbols representing government safety ratings — anchor the visual pandemonium. After a few minutes of contemplation, however, viewers realize that the lines don’t directly correlate with statis-
tics or science. In fact, an accompanying blurb reveals that O’Connor subscribes to something called “swarm logic.â€? Imagine surrealist filmmaker Luis BuĂąuel working as a consultant for the census bureau. To counterbalance the show’s “gallery aesthetic,â€? Attanasio has taken pains to keep things accessible. She decided not to install benches, for example, so as to discourage excessive contemplation, and placed introductory notes on a front-facing instead of a side wall. The curator, who thinks New York’s art scene is both “invigoratingâ€? and “horrifying,â€? also wrote
the blurbs for O’Connor’s and Shelley’s drawings, which are typically shown at Brooklyn’s Pierogi Gallery sans text. But Attanasio, an eager twentysomething who schlepped the drawings from the Big Apple to Burlington in a rental vehicle, is careful not to stereotype her local audience. “I hear people say that [Vermonters] don’t know what contemporary art is,� she noted, “and it’s not true at all.� Artist Peter Gallo, a Hyde Park resident who shows regularly in New York, questions the assumption that New York City and Vermont aesthetics are so clear
5TH
cut in the first place. The art world has grown more dependent on the marketplace than it was when he studied art history at Middlebury College more than 20 years ago, Gallo concedes, but that doesn’t mean it’s become a “cabalâ€? of blue-chip artists, as suggested by Thompson’s information graphics. Plenty of other art “is just as talked about and important,â€? Gallo asserts, and the ease of electronic communication puts a dent in the argument that Vermont is merely a cultural “province.â€? Besides, Gallo says, even the most talented artists depend on unknown factors for their success. Like, say, luck. Thompson’s “Oeuvre = Mass Media + Transformation + Spectacle,â€? an interactive installation featuring three shoulderheight conjoined white spinning wheels, is both testament and counterpoint to Gallo’s last claim. By spinning the wheels, Vanna White-style, a participant produces a turn of phrase — last Friday, as a gallery visitor meandered in from City Hall Park, the device read KITSCH, MUTATION and SIMPLIFY IT. The piece underlines the power of chance: It’s highly unlikely that two spinners will produce the same combo. But it also seems to warn that creativity is limited by a finite number of formulas. Whatever its symbolic implications, “Oeuvreâ€? inspired George Mensh, an artist and senior designer at Burlington’s Jager Di Paola Kemp Design, when he spun it on the exhibit’s opening night. Thompson used to work at JDK, and Mensh describes “1 day MFAâ€? as an appropriate synthesis of his friend’s analytical and abstract instincts, not to mention a “lesson in art history.â€? Mensh suggests that the exercise offers artists a “hope of chanceâ€? — of making it on a fluke — despite Thompson’s depressing insights into art-world politics. “It almost showed that there is possibly a sense of randomness to all of the specifics that have been gathered from all the blue chips,â€? the designer recalls. That’s a good thing, because “sometimes it feels like, as an artist, you are literally spinning your wheels to come up with the right combination.â€? ďż˝

ARTWORK
“Rock Collection Study No. 2” by Joan Curtis
photo
Marc Awodey
wo abstractionists with very different sensibilities currently share an exhibit at Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery in Shelburne. Painter and sculptor Joan Curtis employs biomorphic forms and narrative details in her imagery, while paintings by Richard Weis, an art professor at Green Mountain College, are primarily nonobjective. Though their styles are distinct, both artists employ vibrant colors and intricate rhythms. In his online artist’s statement, Weis writes that his “focus is upon movement and change as witnessed in the natural forces of the environment around me.” The 32-by-42-inch “Windy and Warm” speaks directly to this notion. The acrylic-on-canvas painting is a color field of varied yellows with two isolated patches — one red, the other blue — floating in the upper half. A serpentine red line at top left gives the composition a sense of motion. In 2002 Weis was a visiting artist-in-residence at the University of Wales, in the coastal town of Aberystwyth, and the following year he was a Fulbright scholar in South Korea. Both experiences have influenced Weis’ work. The Asian contribution is most obvious in the 9-by-12-inch mixed-media piece called “Migung.” Dynamic crimson and two slightly varied tonalities of white were applied on top of areas under-painted in black and gold, creating two distinct layers of hues. A circular symbol the color of patina-ed bronze is at lower left. “Path to the Shore,” a 24-by-15-inch acrylic work on paper, may be evocative of the Welsh countryside.
It’s the closest thing to a landscape in Weis’ collection. Three groups of vertical lines of decreasing heights fall deeply into the minimal picture plane, and a deepgreen demarcation resembling an ancient fence divides an implied “sky” from a pathway of white-over-blue negative space.
acrylic on panel with ribbons of black-and-white lines interwoven with flattened, rock-like shapes. The silhouette of a small figure peers from a little window in an abstracted house at lower right. Curtis employs pale lavender, green and a few red borders around a group of indeterminate shapes in the middle of the picture.
Though their styles are distinct, both artists employ vibrant colors and intricate rhythms. The works of Brandon-based artist Joan Curtis are the opposite of non-objective. Her chimerical images are alive with objects both figurative and invented. “Boathouse 1” and “Boathouse 2,” each an acrylic on a panel 17 inches square, seem like exterior and interior views of the same fanciful dwelling — essentially a tree house — tethered to boats in the nearby stream. Strange catlike animals recline in and around the house’s sweeping lines and checkerboard patterns. Curtis’ colors are soft lavender, light blue, pastel greens and reds. Purely decorative, segmented forms crowd into the foregrounds. One can imagine these whimsical pictures as children’s book illustrations. “Rock Collection Study No. 2” is a 17-by-25-inch
A related sculpture entitled “Rock Collection No. 1” uses similar colors and motifs. The 50-by-18-by15-inch construction of papier-mâché on a wood-andmetal armature resembles a growth of coral — painted, that is, with Curtis’ characteristic designs and rhythms. While the artist’s paintings are full of intriguing details, they border on the formulaic and overly sweet. The three sculptures in the show are much more original and lively. This tandem exhibition surveys a range of well-executed moods, spaces and harmonies. The two artists make a bit of an odd couple, but their individual styles complement each other rather than clashing. m

“Sebastian was born prematurely. I had called Dr. Glaess that day concerned because I was not feeling right. She had me come in and admited me right away. Our son was born and then we were transfered to Fletcher Allen’s Neo-natal Care Unit. Chris Bernardine was so supportive with the transfer to Burlington. She told them all about me and our baby and was so helpful as my lactation consultant. Now I am so happy to be back in our private room at CVMC. It’s beautiful and peaceful and the nurses are so attentive and helpful.

were huge. Now that she has to deliver her paintings to shows and customers in her Honda CRV, the artist says that, frankly, she has “learned to paint smaller.” Surprisingly, Mott works from small photographs, mostly pictures of her family from her childhood, or even before she was born. Among the paintings that fill the available wall space in her modest two-

hebe Mott refuses to paint anything smaller than 2-by-3 feet. “I like to move around when I paint. I like making big brush strokes,” the 32-year-old artist explains. We are gazing at her acrylic painting “Docking,” which takes up more than half of her living room wall. In the blue lake scene, a white dock and an adjacent rowboat containing four figures tip toward the viewer like a silent invitation to step in — and the scale is nearly life-sized. As a student majoring in Studio Arts at the University of Vermont, Mott didn’t have to think about the logistics of moving big works of art around: The doorways
bedroom condo in Hinesburg is a strangely moving, almost empty scene of two men seated behind a piano. Blank yellow walls fill the right half of the canvas; a pink armchair, to the left of the purple piano, faces away from the suited but otherwise indistinct figures. “At the Piano II” is based on a photograph of the artist’s grandfather when he was in his forties, Mott says. The painting bears all the marks of her distinctive style: blocky, sunny colors; few details; a somewhat flattened perspective; traces of another painting underneath (Mott never uses blank canvases or boards for her final works); and people with featureless faces. “That’s the number-one question I get,” she says about the empty faces. Her explanation: “I’m trying to tell a story about everyday situations so people can relate to them” by filling in the blanks themselves. Mott describes a typical viewer reaction to “The Wedding IV (Bear, Lea & Gretchen),” in which bridesmaids are adjusting each other’s green, strapless dresses while walking away from the viewer. “So many people have said, ‘Oh, that looks like my friend’s wedding!’ I want that interaction to happen,” she declares. “It allows the viewer to make up their own story about [the paintings]. I would much rather you draw your own conclusions.”
PROFILES OF CRAFTY VERMONTERS
Born in Erie, Pennsylvania, Mott grew up with an older brother whose drawing talents were recognized as exceptional from an early age (he’s now in filmmaking). During high school at Champlain Valley Union, however, teachers started to see promise in Mott’s work as well. As she tells it, “One of Buck’s art teachers made a comment to my mom about my talent. That really surprised me. Then, the next year, another art teacher who hadn’t had my brother said the same thing . . . I don’t know what happened to her, but I’d love to thank her.” Mott’s course was set in her senior year, when she placed third in the Chittenden County high school art competition. These days, Mott is a regular at the Art’s Alive Festival, the Art Hop and the “Reflections on Basin Harbor” program — she’s a featured artist this year. The juried, late-summer show at the Vergennes resort is a favorite with Mott and her husband, because invitees and their families
get a weekend stay at the idyllic spot “for inspiration.” (Each entrant shows at least three works, two of which must feature the resort.) So far she’s refused to paint the iconic pastel lawn chairs. Basin Harbor did inspire Mott to an unusual — for her — subject: a purple-tinged mountain range sans human figures, and painted from life rather than a photograph. Viewers can take in this pretty landscape as well as Mott’s intriguing blank faces during Open Studio Weekend, when she’ll only need to haul her canvasses as far as the studio of Hinesburg artist Marian Willmott. > Phebe Mott’s paintings can be viewed and purchased on her website, http://phebemott. com; at the Artist’s Market, every Saturday morning in Burlington’s City Hall Park; and during Vermont’s 16th annual Open Studio Weekend, May 24 & 25, at 1617 Hayden Hill West in Hinesburg.

theborowitzreport Bill Clinton Switches to Obama: Latest Super Delegate Defection for Hillary
I
n what some Democratic Party insiders are calling a particularly ominous sign for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, former president Bill Clinton today became the latest super delegate to switch from Sen. Clinton to her rival, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.). Sources close to the former president said that Mr. Clinton had been mulling such a defection for weeks, as early as the night of the Iowa primary, but that he only decided to make his decision public today. “The American people want change,” Mr. Clinton said at a press conference in New York. “Lord knows I do.” The former president said that “Sometimes, at the end of a race, you have to put an old horse down,” adding, “I’m not speaking metaphorically.” Mr. Clinton fueled speculation that he was seeking a role in an Obama administration, saying, “I know my way around the Oval Office, and I know how the super-secret double-lock works.”
The former president said he would relish a return to the White House, calling his tenure there “good times.”
Sometimes, at the end of a race, you have to put an old horse down. former president clinton
For her part, Sen. Clinton said that the defection of her husband would not deter her from staying in the race, adding, “To my knowledge, he’s the only white voter Sen. Obama has.” The New York senator denied that she was playing the race card, arguing, “Every other member of my family is supporting me, and by the way, they’re white.” Elsewhere, a defiant John McCain said that his wife would not release her tax returns, “and neither will my girlfriend.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): After working for
years in various jobs at San Francisco TV station KTVU, Frank Sommerville was promoted to the top of the heap — lead anchorman of the 10 o’clock news program. He promised that his new power wouldn’t make him lazy or complacent. “Nobody will out-curious me,” he bragged. I hope you will adopt the same motto for the foreseeable future, Aries. Your world needs you to be intensely inquisitive about what’s transpiring. Uncoincidentally, asking lots of smart questions (and even some dumb ones) will also be the best possible thing you can do for your mental health.
keep this from happening? Yes, there is: It’s my patented Laughing Tantrum Release Therapy, a five-minute ritual that you perform once a week in a private place with no witnesses. For four minutes, you fume, seethe, curse, and yell. For the final 60 seconds, you compel yourself to laugh uncontrollably. This week would be an excellent time to start integrating Laughing Tantrum Release Therapy into your routine.
lackadaisical attitudes you’ve come to accept as reasonable. This medicine won’t come in the form of a pill or a potion, but rather will be produced by your own body if and when you slip away from your comfort zone and go out to play in the frontier. Be your own doctor, Libra. Break your own trance. Crack your own code. Escape your own mind games.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Guerrilla gardening is
coming weeks may resemble a dream of sailing deep beneath the waves in a yellow submarine where a nonstop party is going on. It’ll be as if you’re plowing through deep, heavy, murky waters inside a brightly lit, high-tech vessel that is controlled by slightly chaotic connoisseurs of fun. You may feel a bit claustrophobic, but that could encourage your imagination to run wild, which will be a good thing as long as you don’t believe everything it tells you. In conclusion, Scorpio, get ready for entertaining adventures that will range from being a bit creepy to totally delicious.
my favorite kind of prank: a benevolent one. The practitioners of this growing global movement are fertility agitators who sneak onto unused fields under cover of broad daylight, often in urban landscapes, and cultivate flowers, herbs, and food crops. In accordance with the astrological omens, I recommend that you experiment with a metaphorically similar project in the upcoming weeks. Without necessarily seeking permission or expecting appreciation, cultivate beauty and value in a place that’s neglected or going to waste.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20): “The Irish don’t know what they want and are prepared to fight for it,” said British attorney Sidney Littlewood. I don’t endorse that assertion, since it’s an offensive ethnic stereotype, but I do want to borrow it to create a cautionary message for you. Please make sure that in the upcoming weeks no one can say to you, “You don’t know what you want and yet you are prepared to fight for it.” I definitely hope you aggressively champion an idea you believe in or a dream you care about, but you should get clearer about what exactly it is.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Dear Star-Reader Brezsny: You are the only wizard who can save me. I have a bad job — just $72,000 a year — plus a lover who’s not all that cute and a home that’s not worth as much as it used to be. My health is good but I hate my nose and ass. Can’t afford a BMW or a vacation to Spain. My world is unraveling! Hope is fading! Please tell me what to do! - Virgo on the Verge.” Dear On the Verge: I suggest that you temporarily suspend your strident yearning. This is one time when it’s important to cultivate more appreciation for what you actually have. I urge you and all Virgos to turn your attention away from what you think you lack, and devote your psychic energy to loving what is.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Giuseppe Rebaudi and Silvie Basain started dating in 1952. This year they finally decided to take the next step. After a 56-year courtship, the 101-year-old Italian man wed his 98-year-old girlfriend. I predict that a comparable event will bless your love life in the second half of 2008, Gemini. Some romantic development that has been in the works for a long time will finally ripen into its full expression. Expect news about this soon.

dominatrix I know says that many of her clients are men whose jobs give them excessive authority over other people. When she’s bossing around these honchos, she sees herself as an agent of karmic correction, counteracting a dangerous lopsidedness in their psyches. I bring this up, Pisces, because you’re in a phase when you should rectify any imbalance of power that exists in your own sphere. If you’re a swaggering alpha male or female, put in a stint as a humble servant. If you’re normally a timid soul, flex your willpower with feisty abandon. If you’re neither a control freak nor a doormat — and thus have no karma to balance — spend quality time meditating on how to gain more power over the wild ebbs and flows of your imagination.

America’s first war on Iraq in 1991, I prophesied that one day there’d be a Disneyland in Baghdad. It was a surrealistically sardonic send-up of my native country’s imperialism. But now, 17 years later, my absurd prediction is coming true. The same American company that designed the original Disneyland has announced plans to build the Baghdad Zoo and Entertainment Experience. If workers survive bombing, looting and sniper fire, the first part of the 50-acre amusement park will open this year. While I question whether building a monument to fun is a good idea in an actual war zone, it’s an excellent metaphor for you to apply to your personal life. Even if you can’t extinguish a certain conflict that has been raging, try to introduce a spirit of play into the proceedings.

But if you’re offered a deal like that anytime soon, Aquarius, I suggest you reject it. According to my analysis of the omens, it will be crucial to your mental, physical, and spiritual health to have regular erotic experiences during the coming weeks. If you don’t have a partner, have fun with your invisible muse, the angel in your dreams, or your personal version of God or Goddess.

Married Life HH
D THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY A midlife crisis leads to attempted murder in this tepid bit of imitation Hitchcock.
irector Ira Sachs has done something quite extraordinary here: He has taken the story of an adulterer who decides to murder his wife in order to spare her the devastation of a divorce and somehow, against all odds, managed to turn it into one of the dullest, most thoroughly pointless motion pictures ever made. Married Life is set in 1949 and sports a noir-ish voice-over by Pierce Brosnan. He is not the film’s star, however, but the star’s dapper and philandering best friend, Richard. Chris Cooper is Harry, a standard-issue, martini-drinking period husband with a job as an executive in the big city, a home with a white picket fence, a faithful dog and a midlife crisis. Early in the movie Harry meets Richard in a restaurant to drink martinis, smoke cigarettes and confess his plan to leave his wife for a much younger woman with whom he has found “true happiness.” He has also brought his friend there to meet the other woman, and in she walks on cue, in slow motion. She is played by Rachel McAdams and her name is Kay, but her bright red lipstick and platinum-blond ’do winkingly evoke Kim Novak, the filmmaker’s sly signal that we are about to enter Hitchcock territory. And indeed, the next hour or so does to some degree suggest a remake of Dial M for Murder, despite lacking even trace amounts of the original’s wit, suspense or style. The wonderful Patricia Clarkson is wast-
ed in the role of Pat, the happy homemaker who, Harry is certain, couldn’t bear to go on living without him. A sufferer from some sort of minor digestive ailment, Pat keeps at her bedside a bottle of stomach medicine she takes like clockwork before retiring. Cooper’s character researches various poisons and chooses one, but before spiking his wife’s bottle with the stuff, he decides to test it out on his dog. It was right about here that Sachs — whose previous work includes Forty Shades of Blue — and co-writer Oren Moverman lost me. Is Married Life intended as a black comedy, a tale of suspense, or a Douglas-Sirk-meets-John-Updike rumination on suburban disloyalty and lust? The filmmakers never get around to making up their minds. So, despite the cast’s capable portrayals, it’s difficult to connect with or care about any of these characters as, one by one, they proceed to stab each other in the back. Eventually the near misses involv-
ing the medicine — each time Pat is about to take it, a plot device prevents her — grow tiresome, and the revelations about who’s really doing it with whom lose all power to shock. We get it already: This is Peyton Place, and Viagra has gotten into the water supply. The movie’s final act is a fairy tale of reconciliation so weird and preposterous it feels tacked on from another film. Toward the end, Brosnan voice-overs something like “Can you ever really know what’s in the mind of the person sleeping next to you?” How profound. Maybe Sachs and Moverman will share a Nobel Prize next year for discovering the cheating heart. RICK KISONAK
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian HHH
O
LION-TOLOGY The kids learn to keep faith in their mostly off-screen messiah figure in the Disney version of Lewis’ second Narnia novel.
f all the fantasy series on the screen today, The Chronicles of Narnia could be the only one that espouses the notion of the Great Chain of Being. In C.S. Lewis’ magical world, animals talk and mythical beasts stalk the woods, but only a “Son of Adam” or a “Daughter of Eve” — i.e., Homo sapiens — can rule the roost. It’s a traditional view of the world, perfectly in line with the author’s pervasive Christian message and his ridicule of newfangled progressive ideas. The novel Prince Caspian is largely about a boy learning to be king — a pretty fusty concern even back in 1951, when it first appeared. But — and this is a big but — Lewis’ writing is never as stodgy as some of his thinking. While his head may be with the divine right of kings, his heart is with the fussy-talking badger and the comic-relief dwarf and the sinuous dryads in the woods. Far more playful than his contemporary Tolkien, or even his current secular-humanist rival Philip Pullman, Lewis knew how to tell a great story, with touches of both poetry and vaudeville. It’s a pity so little of that Narnia comes through in this adaptation. Directed by Andrew Adamson — who did the previous Narnia film and the first two Shreks — Prince Caspian takes a transitional book in the series and tries mightily to turn it into an epic. In the process, battle scenes are stretched to unholy lengths, mumbly villains get way too much screen time, and Lewis’ lightness mostly goes missing. Though Caspian isn’t a travesty, it’s not a very fun movie, either. In the 1300 years that have passed in Narnia since The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, things have pretty much gone to hell in the absence of the four
heroic Pevensie kids, who were elevated to the status of kings and queens at the end of the last book/film. Their castle Cair Paravel is in ruins, the dwarfs and centaurs are hiding, and some of the regular critters have regressed from full-blown anthropomorphism back to growls and grunts. The all-powerful lion Aslan hasn’t been seen in so long that he’s assumed the status of myth, and a swarthy race of human usurpers has ravaged the land. So of course, all it takes to put this situation to rights is a quartet of English children with World War II-era stiff upper lips and milk-and-roses complexions. First, though, the eldest boy, Peter (William Moseley),
has to do the whole coming-of-age thing — and so does his Narnian counterpart, Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes), the rightful heir to the throne. Coming of age involves lots of photogenic sword play. For Susan Pevensie (the stunning and bland Anna Popplewell), who’s handy with her bow and arrows, it also involves some innocent flirting with Caspian. It’s hard to imagine Lewis signing off on the Hollywood addition of romance, since his sympathies tend to stay firmly with plucky, eternally prepubescent characters. (When Susan and Peter start to look and act like adults, they’re banned from Narnia.) Though the script beefs up the older characters’ roles, the ones who make the most impact are little Lucy Pevensie (Georgie Henley), who still sees the majestic lion walking the forest, and a couple of non-humans: the sarcastic dwarf Trumpkin (Peter Dinklage) and the verbose, swordswinging mouse Reepicheep, a CGI creation wittily voiced by Eddie Izzard. There’s an element of silly, ambling, Time Banditstype fantasy in Narnia. But you would never know it from the battle scenes that dominate this movie, as if Adamson were trying to create an edited-for-kids version of Saving Private Ryan. To his credit, the director makes it very clear that good guys die in war along with bad guys, and the battles have both stakes and grandeur. But this doesn’t change the fact that Caspian, ostensibly our new protagonist, is a dull, hunky guy with a fake accent that sounds like Mandy Patinkin playing Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride. If this movie had an ounce of that one’s sauciness, it would bode a lot better for the series. MARGOT HARRISON

Quaffing Controversy Most Vermont brewers raise a glass to two new state laws BY MATT SCANLON
V
ermont boasts the most breweries per capita in the U.S. No fewer than 16 brewers and brewpubs service its roughly 450,000 citizens of drinking age, and every one of those establishments is independently owned. In a national marketplace dominated by chains and franchises, it’s remarkable for a state to host so many small-player entrepreneurs. And it’s no accident — it’s written into state law. Among other ownership restrictions in the alcohol industry, Vermont law forbids the existence of a “tied house” — that is, a business that both manufactures beer and sells it off-site at restaurants, pubs or other similar retail businesses it owns. Crafted to prevent monopolies from taking hold, such laws are among the strictest in the nation. But in Vermont, apparently, not strict enough. On March 24, Governor Douglas signed a bill (H.93) that extends existing law by prohibiting both in- and out-ofstate brewers from owning retail venues in Vermont. And at least one local brewpub proprietor thinks the state has gone too far. To Rob Downey, co-owner of American Flatbread in Burlington, the Beer Producers’ Interest in Retail Liquor Licenses law is just the latest in a series of obstacles that might hold back Vermont brew businesses rather than stimulate them. “The law signed in March just pushes Vermont into an extreme situation that doesn’t really benefit the brewers or consumers anymore,” Downey says. “It was pushed hard by the VBA [Vermont Brewers Association], but it is a remedy for an illusion — namely, that Budweiser will swoop into the state and start opening restaurants. That will never happen.”
At least one local brewpub proprietor thinks the state has gone too far. Downey is quick to specify what will happen: Beer he makes at Burlington’s American Flatbread won’t go to his two other restaurants in Waitsfield and Middlebury. “And this law also discourages us from doing smaller projects in Vermont,” he adds, “in places like White River Junction or Stowe, markets that could be made more viable if we could make our own beer from a central brewing facility and ship it and sell it to our restaurants. How exactly does preventing that help beer business?” Downey contrasts Vermont with states such as Oregon, which modified its
$400
for heating fuel when you apply for a mortgage by July 3
craft-brewery laws in the mid-1980s to allow manufacturers producing fewer than 200,000 barrels a year to own restaurants. He wonders why Vermont seems so set against fostering what he terms an “open market, in which you can have direct access to the consumer rather than having your beer funneled through a distributor.” Greg Noonan, owner of Burlington’s Vermont Pub & Brewery, has a very different take on the Oregon beer laws and their consequences. He points out that Portland-based McMenamins Pubs and Breweries currently wields a mini-monopoly in that state: It owns
58 percent of the brewpubs and brewery outlets. Meanwhile, independent ownership in Oregon has dwindled to 24 percent. Noonan says people in the industry jokingly refer to McMenamins as “McMinimals,” “in part because of how little investment they seem to make in brewing as opposed to marketing. I just can’t see that being a good thing here, and I sure wouldn’t want to be a small brewer starting out in a system that allowed chains to dot the landscape.” >> 07B

the CHEF T
his weekend, Claire’s Restaurant and Bar in Hardwick celebrates its grand opening with a Saturday open house and dinner, followed by “blunch� and dinner on Sunday. The eatery — created by partners Steven Obranovich, Mike Bosia, Linda Ramsdell and Kristina Michelsen — made use of creative financing in the form of a “community-supported� investment model. How does Chef Obranovich describe the “New Vermont Cuisine� he plans to dish up? First of all, it incorporates local ingredients with the “flavors of the world,� he explains. “My cooking isn’t defined by a style — French, Italian or Spanish — it’s what the farmers want to grow, what people want to eat and what I want to cook. It starts out at the purest point for me: The ramps are speaking to me or the carrots are speaking to me. It all starts with the ingredients; it’s not about the concept.�

At Seven Days, we’re all about the ingredients, too. So we decided to kick off our brand-new Food Section feature, “Grilling the Chef,� by holding Chef Obranovich over the coals. Don’t you want to know who’s making your food? SEVEN DAYS: How did your family eat when you were growing up? STEVEN OBRANOVICH: I was raised by a single, divorced mom, so my mom was working a lot, and we did a lot of gardening. We had zucchini in every possible way you could imagine, but we did have days when we were going to horrible McDonald’s, as well. There was a juxtaposition of horrible industrialized food and great things coming from the garden. Gardening was something that we loathed in the beginning and I love doing now. Back then, were there any foods you just detested? Peas. They were fresh — there was nothing wrong with these peas — but there were a lot of them. How do you feel about peas nowadays? I love them.

Name three foods that make life worth living. Garlic, chiles of any hot variety, and tortilla chips, any kind of chip. Anything crunchy. What’s the weirdest dish you’ve tried? I had pigs’ feet in Strasbourg that I absolutely adored. I remember eating tripe in Provence at this little hole-inthe-wall cafÊ. Everybody insisted that I try it, even though I didn’t want to. And it was the most delicious thing: It was amazing. When you have time to cook at home, what do you make? Well, there’s something that I usually end up making that I absolutely love: I’ll go to the co-op and buy as many vegetables as I can. I put them all in a pot with a little water. Then I start prying off the spice lids and add them, along with herbs from the garden.
STEVEN OBRANOVICH AGE: 40 RESTAURANT: Claire’s Restaurant and Bar LOCATION: Hardwick CUISINE TYPE: New Vermont Cuisine TRAINING: California Culinary Academy, San Francisco SELECTED PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE: Everest at Chicago Stock Exchange in Chicago; Left Bank in Larkspur, California; a pair of Michelin three-star restaurants in Strasbourg, France; Michael’s on the Hill, Waterbury. FARM PARTNERS: Snug Valley Farm, Applecheek Farm, Winding Brook Farm, Riverside Farm, Pete’s Greens, Wind Horse Farm and many more.
Any strange restaurant stories? When I was at culinary school, Stars Restaurant was right down the street, and another half-block away was Stars CafÊ. I walked in and talked to the chef and asked if I could have a job. He let me have a non-paying job doing prep. It was my first cooking job. One day we’re in the kitchen and I come around the corner to the line. [Celebrity chef and owner] Jeremiah Tower had walked over, and was apoplectic that the duck confit wasn’t crispy enough. He removed it from the plate and threw it at the cook. Is there a piece of equipment you can’t live without? A Microplane [grater]. You try doing the same thing with other methods and it’s just ridiculous, it’s absurd. What we all did before was get a lot of bloody knuckles.
Imagine you’ve got an all-expenses-paid trip to any country you want to eat in. Where do you go? India. I’d like to learn more about the regional differences, the masalas and spices.
Which cookbook should every home cook own? The New York Times Cookbook by Craig Claiborne and James Beard’s American Cookery.
You can cook for anybody, dead or alive. Whom do you choose? Salvador Dali. I think he would appreciate my cooking style.
If you had your own TV show, what would it be about? It would be about the terroir here, in Hardwick, Vermont. The flavors of
the world that are present and can be brought here. They’ll come to fruition in great dishes when Claire’s opens. If you weren’t a chef, what would your job be? I would be a starving stage actor in New York, doing serious drama and musical theater. What’s your favorite thing about cooking in Vermont right now? Everything! I’m just glad that everything’s green. And rhubarb. We don’t have that on the West Coast as readily as we do here. It’s such a great harbinger. Why Hardwick? Myriad reasons. It’s next to Greensboro, but Hardwick is a lot less expensive to live in. And it’s got a great hodgepodge of people. Name a local restaurant that you patronize. The Bee’s Knees. It’s close. [Owner Sharon Deitz] is great. Can you tell me a fact about you that might surprise people? I’ve been in a committed relationship for 20 years. >

THE SCOOP ON VERMONT RESTAURANTS
Burlington’s only Mexican eatery, previously known as Roque’s, has got a new name: Madera’s Mexican Restaurante Cantina. What does it mean? Madera is the Spanish word for wood, and the resto’s owners are Jim and Jeannette . . . you guessed it . . . Wood. It’s not straight-up Mexican food, but a new, Boston-based burrito chain is heading to B-Town. Boloco, specializing in wraps made with creative toppings and sauces as well as naturally and humanely raised meats, is coming soon to the Church Street spot that used to be occupied by Quiznos. The joint will offer smoothies, salads and breakfast fare as well. Right next door, in the old Baja Jack’s spot, Amir Jusufagic of Amir’s Kebab will be selling meat kebab, chicken kebab, gyro and a bunch of other Mediterranean specialties. It’ll be called Amir’s on Church Street. There will be lots of vegetarian options, too. Samosas will come from the Samosaman, and other dishes will be made by “a woman from Turkey who is cooking for me,” Jusufagic relates. “She used to have a restaurant in Istanbul, and she’s going to be doing zucchini pancakes, pilaf and falafel.” Whenever possible, Jusufagic plans to use local ingredients, and intends to join the Vermont Fresh Network. Most of the beer and wine options will be imported. Even though the new eatery will likely keep Jusufagic busy, his late-night customers won’t be disappointed: The Church Street cart isn’t going anywhere. Bring on the ajvar!
Bristol native Dan Palmer worked for TGIF, the Perry Group and the Ice House before coming home to roost, er, roast. After a stint at the Bobcat Café, he’s opening a joint of his own — aptly named Dan’s Place — in the Main Street spot that used to be Reggie’s Tavern. “I’m very excited, very nervous, and about ready to go into therapy,” the new business owner admits. What’ll Dan’s Place be like? “It will be a sports bar,” Palmer dishes. “We do have a pool table and a dart board. We’ll have some outside seating. And we’ll have 11 or 12 items on the menu that will all be $10 or less — bar food done right.” Eventually, he says, he’ll serve lunch, too. The spot will be open pretty late for small-town Vermont. “We’ll be open until 11 or 11:30 at night,” Palmer says. “But we won’t be open till
Unless Burlington’s South Enders venture north to downtown or onto Shelburne Road, they don’t have many eating options. But soon they’ll have one courtesy of Jack O’Brien, who used to co-own Red Square and Club Metronome. O’Brien — who lives in the ’hood — is opening a new eatery and organic market where the Springflower Market is now, at the intersection of St. Paul and Howard streets. O’Brien says the place will “provide really good, clean food that is locally grown and raised for that community.” The staff will be cooking and baking, too. “We’re gonna make fantastic food that’s not going to be expensive. It’s gonna be something really different,” O’Brien promises. What about the market’s current Azerbaijanborn owners? “They are the sweetest people and they’re like family to me,” he says. “We’re going to do this together.” Although the place is slated to open in early June, O’Brien isn’t ready to divulge all the details of his new business. His former bar business partner, Mark Gauthier, is a partner in Colchester’s Big Chile Republic.

Buffalo’s Back A NEW NAME FOR VERMONT’S MOST UNUSUAL YOGURT
Some folks have been in local water buffalo yogurt withdrawal since Woodstock Water Buffalo changed hands — and was rechristened Vermont Water Buffalo. Now they’re in luck. The rich, creamy stuff is back on the market under the “Bufala di Vermont” label in the company’s four most popular flavors: plain, maple, raspberry and blueberry. According to Marketing Director Carey Clifford, “The yogurt is pretty much the same recipe, but there’s slightly less fat.” Why? “We just think the product is better. It’s still very thick and creamy, but a little less dense than it was before. It brings it to the same level of fat as most whole milk yogurts.” Over the next two weeks, the company’s fresh mozzarella will hit coolers at gourmet markets and natural food stores. But as with the yogurt, they’re tweaking the process. Whereas the mozz used to be stretched by machine, now it will be done by hand, just like in Italy. “What we found is that the process gives it a great texture,” Clifford enthuses. Up next: aged water buffalo cheeses courtesy of the folks at Crowley Cheese and Plymouth Cheese, who will turn the rich milk into a Colby-style cheese and a farmstead cheese, respectively, as well as experiment with other methods of aging. And then there’s the meat: “In Italy, water buffalo is a delicacy,” Clifford explains. “And it’s a very healthy meat. It’s lower in saturated fat and cholesterol than beef.” She says it tastes good, too. “I was amazed. I’m not a huge meat eater, but I’ve been eating a lot of buffalo recently. It’s very good.” In addition to selling the usual steak, roasts and ground meat to area restaurants, the company will experiment with cured products such as Brasaola. Employing the Italian word “bufala” may be a stroke of marketing genius. It indicates, “We have a unique product,” Clifford suggests, without dumbing it down. “It’s all about the water buffalo,” she relates, “so we don’t want to shy away from that.” SUZANNE PODHAIZER

Last weekend, Red Hen Bakery of Middlesex celebrated its grand opening with an unusual ceremony: a baguette cutting by Senator Leahy. Co-owner Randy George calls it an “alternative to a Douglas ribbon cutting.” Leahy did the honors with an 8-foot-long baguette that was baked for the occasion. One thing on the menu at the new Red Hen café: farm-fresh soups from Burlington’s Sugarsnap. The new café at the ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center is ladling ’em out, too, in flavors such as smoked bacon and crab chowder, white bean and smoked tomato, and sausage and chicken jambalaya. “We make everything from scratch and try to use the best ingredients,” explains co-owner Katie Fiore. Selling their items outside their own establishment is “a new avenue we’re exploring,” Fiore says. “Our soups have a really good reputation. They’re pretty popular. It’s a way for restaurants to sell a good product if they don’t have time to make it.” And a good way for Sugarsnap to make some extra cash.
2 a.m., I’m too old for that.” There’ll also be live entertainment on Saturday. According to Palmer, “Bristol is a destination. There’s entertainment Thursday at the Bobcat, Friday at Bristol Bakery and Saturday at Dan’s.”

CHOCOLATE ROBOT BY EMILY JONES OF LAKE CHAMPLAIN CHOCOLATES
O
ne unexpected byproduct of the Great Coffee Boom of the ’80s was the Great Chocolate Boom that began soon afterwards, and is booming louder every day. Once Americans had gotten used to strong, bitter, expensive coffee, then strong, bitter, expensive chocolate was pretty much the same, only sweeter. Godiva and Ghirardelli began to seem like the Ford and GM of American gourmet chocolate. Vermont, of course, shot off the blocks in the handmade chocolate race, so it was hardly a surprise to learn about the second Vermont Chocolate Show at the Inn at Essex last weekend. Included were a chocolate sculpture exhibit, a chocolate martini lounge, chocolate cooking and decorating demonstrations and, of course, displays by some (though not all) of the top artisan chocolate makers in Vermont and eastern New York. Although chocolate is a theme in itself — and a popular enough theme to fill all the parking lots that surround the inn — two sub-themes of the show were readily apparent. The first was that chocolate is now officially a neurotransmitter. I don’t want to get too technical here, but over the last 20 years science has conclusively proven that chocolate binds on to estrogen to release in a woman’s brain a fireworks display of chemicals that in turn trigger the synapses normally only fired by contemplating sex with, say, Hugh Grant. These days, chocolates are given names such as “Every Woman’s Dream” instead of the old-school “Antigua Guatemala 62%” or the hopelessly square “Hazelnut.” The second theme was the Joey Tribbiani It’s All Good theme. Loyal fans of “Friends” will remember that Rachel makes a dish that accidentally combines an English trifle with a shepherd’s pie. Joey’s response: “Custard? Good! Jam? Good! Meat? Gooood!” Today’s chocolate makers have clearly decided that the way to make chocolate better is to combine it with other things that are high on the Hugh Grant index. Good plus good equals: “Hey, can’t go wrong.” Personally (and perhaps it’s because of my low estrogen count), I hold the radical belief that yes, you can screw up chocolate, and the result is one of life’s profoundly disappointing
experiences — right up there with the shower that runs cold after a minute and a half. So I went to the Vermont Chocolate Show curious, but no patsy. First of all, a word about methodology. When it comes to trade shows, I’m strictly a bottom-feeder. Charging at the door and then charging a dollar a truffle strikes me as double dipping (so to speak), so I reviewed only the free samples on offer. As some of the makers had a panoramic array of wares for sale but almost nothing on the tasting plate, you shouldn’t judge a chocolatier by the amount of ink on this page. Once inside the first tent (of three), I was momentarily distracted by what might be called Chocolate Peripherals. The chocolate art display was all very well and good (think chocolate Godzilla eating chocolate buildings), but anyone dropping in at Lake Champlain Chocolates’ Pine Street branch can see that quality of work literally every day. Beyond it, by the back wall, dollar-a-minute neck massages were available, presumably to treat whiplash injuries. (“Try the
chocolate with strawberry over here! No, try the chocolate with mango over here!” Snap.) But even the neck massage was merely the Hershey’s Kiss of the spa booth, for at the other end of the Oasis Day Spa table was a laptop with a video display of a woman lying in the familiar face-down position getting . . . wait for it . . . a chocolate massage. The masseuse, or possibly the confectioner, was smoothly applying something called Chocolate Body Scrub from the woman’s waist up to her hairline. It was a strange sight that brought out startlingly different, possibly hormone-related responses among those watching. All around me, strong women were turning pale and reaching for their checkbooks. I had the disturbing sense that if I watched long enough, someone would start dotting the woman’s shoulder blades with fragments of hazelnut and then slide her into an oven. Clearly, it was time to try the edible cocoa-butter-based products. Burlington’s Lake Champlain Chocolates was offering samples

of Fruit and Nut — which, like many locals, I’ve had before. But for the first time I was struck by the fact that the chocolate is almost treacly. Good, but perhaps a little over-intimate? Then it was on to Liz Lovely, which I took to be a nom de cacao, the Fannie Farmer of the chocolate world, but which is actually the real name of one of the Waitsfield company’s co-founders. The dried mango dipped in chocolate went down very smoothly,
OK, time to open the envelope. My favorite exhibitor of the day was Farmhouse Truffles by Erle LaBounty, the product made in the kitchen of the LaBounty home on Main Street in Waterbury. Truffles are so strong in taste that they are always in danger of becoming simply too dense: part confection, part blunt weapon. Farmhouse’s truffles are rolled rather than poured, and they whispered their flavor, powdery, not intense.
All around me, strong women were turning pale and reaching for their checkbooks. but that’s a good-on-good no-brainer. The ginger cookies were outstanding, but my favorite Lovely item was the ginger chocolate that, like all good ginger comestibles, refused to be shamed into submission. This one bit back. I loved it. Waterbury’s Vermont Artisan Coffee & Tea Co. is a coffee roaster and tea importer, but has branched out with Artisan Espresso chocolate-covered espresso beans — another no-brainer, in my book, but all too often a fascist confection that beats the consumer into a twitchy stupor. By contrast, Artisan’s espresso beans have been thoughtfully milled to three different degrees of fineness, so they don’t have that gritty consistency. Two New York companies had decided to push the envelope in terms of names and/or shapes. Stuffed Chocolate of Snyder worked countless variations on Belgian chocolate. I liked their dark chocolate almond bark well enough, but Every Woman’s Dream, a chocolate-and-strawberry combination, turned out to be too obvious to be interesting, a Hallmark chocolate. That’s Different Chocolates of Hoosick Falls went farther afield by boasting of their Chocolate and Peanut Butter Pizza, surely a Tribbiani Award winner. I tried Tea Time, a dark chocolate with green tea and lemon peel. It was fresh and zesty, though I thought the chocolate itself was less original than the combination of flavors.
Farmhouse also went for truly adventurous taste combinations, rather than simply the good-on-good. I tried the lavender, which reminded me of a lavender truffle I’d sampled at the Choco-Musée in Québec City. If anything, LaBounty’s was subtler; no added sugar, no excessive aftertaste, just something like the memory of a summer garden. I told the LaBountys that I’d been blown away by Québecois truffles that included chiles. They exchanged glances and, like Prohibition speakeasy owners reaching under the bar for the real Scotch, produced a nutmeg-and-Sicilian-hot-pepper truffle. That was it. The chocolate hit first, then the nutmeg, and that seemed to be all she wrote until I swallowed, and then the pepper warmed my gullet all the way down. Final note: The best chocolates, in my book, are still to be found north of the border. Erle LaBounty credited Chloe GermainFredette as an inspiration (Les Chocolats de Chloe, 375 Rue Roy Est, Montréal), though many Montréalers are just as impressed by Les Chocolats Genevieve Grandbois (162 Rue Saint-Viateur Ouest). And if you can make it as far north as Québec City, drop in at the Choco-Musée Erico at 634 Rue Saint-Jean. Once you’ve tried their chipotle, or their argousier (sea buckthorn puree), or their bitter ganache with Ceylon curry — other chocolates start to look like sugar, fat and brown paint. >

There’s nothing new about 2x2.5-personals-generic.indd 1 11/14/06 9:58:01 AM the idea of selling high-alcoholcontent beer in Vermont’s pubs and restaurants.

AMERICANA GOTHIC :: Imagine, if you will, a contemporary indie band hanging out with the ghost of Gram Parsons whilst eating entire sheets of acid with Timothy Leary and listening to The Band. Now add a gospel choir. If you’re able to wrap your head around this implausible scenario, you’re well on your way to understanding the musical enigma that is Richmond, Virginia, quartet The
Great White Jenkins.
However, if you’re more literal-minded, there’s hope for you yet as the band makes an appearance at The Monkey House in Winooski this Thursday, with guitar legend Peter Walker — who actually did eat acid with Leary, possibly while taking sitar lessons from Ravi Shankar — and local tunesmith Paddy Reagan.

AMBER DELAURENTIS, HEY SADIE
KING ME!, WE WANTED MOORE (Self-released, CD)
(Self-released, CD) On “Calliope Calling,” the second track of Amber deLaurentis’ latest effort, Hey Sadie, the Jersey-born, Burlington resident invokes the name of that most distinguished of the nine Muses. Greek for “beautiful voice,” Calliope is an apt invocation; deLaurentis’ confident vocal performance on her debut studio album sounds something more than just secularly inspired. In addition to mythological melioration, deLaurentis has some worldly help, most notably from her longtime friend and songwriting collaborator, Sarah Blue. Like a femme version of Elton John and Bernie Taupin, deLaurentis and Blue craft rockin’, soulful, piano-driven tunes that leave little choice but to draw deserving comparisons to Carole King. Though deLaurentis may not have hit her full stride yet — there’s no “It’s Too Late” or “I Feel the Earth Move” on Hey Sadie — it’s hard to imagine she’s far from it. The catchy “Upside Down,” with its tastefully arranged string section and sumptuously harmonized refrain, should have listeners scrambling for the “repeat” button. “Black & Blue” could have easily been nestled between “Over My Head” and “Rhiannon” on a Fleetwood Mac greatest hits album. Such is the edgy, love-centric poetry of deLaurentis and Blue, tactfully buoyed by their band’s subtle delivery. Of the latter, enough cannot be said. Band regulars Dave Anstine (bass), Mark Tucker (guitar and steel guitar) and Mark Schreiber (drums) are joined by a number of heavyweight Vermont guest musicians, including guitar guru Paul Asbell, pedal steel wizard Gordon Stone, organist Chuck Eller and guitarist Steve Blair. Jazz impresario Tom Cleary — deLaurentis’ husband — chips in with horn arrangements. Credit all involved for playing no more and no less than each song requires, allowing deLaurentis — the album’s real star — to shine through unobstructed. Instead of yet another overproduced album saturated with superfluous strings, overbearing brass and just-for-the-sake-of-it solos, Hey Sadie comes off as effortlessly professional, hinting that deLaurentis is much further along in her promising musical career than her current two-album discography would suggest. Amber deLaurentis celebrates the release of her new album at the FlynnSpace this Thursday, and unveils her new band, which includes drummer Caleb Bronz, Cleary, Blair and Stone. If Calliope comes a-callin’ for live performances like she did in the recording studio, the show should be well worth attending. BEN HARDY
Ah, Breakwater Café. The lakeside retreat is a bastion of Bud Light-fueled, Hawaiian-shirt-clad shenanigans. It’s cheesy, but we love it anyway. Summer in Burlington just isn’t complete without spending a few late afternoons shirking work and soaking up some sun along with a daiquiri or four. In some ways, then, it’s fitting that the insert accompanying We Wanted Moore from Underhill-based acoustic rock outfit King Me!, features a sepia-toned picture of the trio plying their trade at the Queen City’s answer to Margaritaville. In some circles, that last statement could be perceived as a slight. It’s not. Rather, it’s meant as a summation of the breezy fare found on the group’s debut album, which is likely best experienced with your feet up and a can of cold beer in hand. Appropriately enough, the disc leads off with “Summertime Blues.” It’s a blues number in chord structure only. While the tune hints at some hazily defined romantic trial, the chorus suggests a resolution involving eating pork-fried chicken and drinking cheap port wine. Sounds good to me. The following tune, “Honest Are Our Desires,” sets the tone for the remainder of the album. Songwriter Shaun King’s reedy croon is set adrift over twin brother Shelby’s bouncy acoustic guitar lines. Saxophonist Allison Frazier chimes in with tastefully restrained licks, augmenting the trio’s easy, laid-back groove. As a lyricist and front man, Shaun King is certainly capable. His vocal delivery, while not overwhelmingly impressive, is solid throughout. Save for the occasional extraneous “ooh-ooh, yeah,” he largely resists ornamental over-singing. And while his songwriting at times relies on clichéd sentiments such as “walk a mile in my shoes,” everlasting love and thin metaphors involving celestial bodies, his pleasing, pop-inflected delivery largely helps to gloss over any undue earnestness. As an ensemble, the group plays well together, rarely stepping on each other’s toes. In particular Frazier’s sax work adds a nice touch to the proceedings, which otherwise can be a tad predictable. King Me! is a solid band, and We Wanted Moore presents a satisfying, if somewhat lightweight, debut. But just as kitschy joints like Breakwater Café hold a special place in our hearts, so, too, do bands that aim for little more than to please our ears and ease our minds on a summer day. Now, where’s my coozie? DAN BOLLES

DJ A-DOG
Fire Power Following a disaster, DJ A-Dog keeps his cool
BY DAN BOLLES
A
ndy Williams’ “Free Will Astrology” reading for the week of May 1, 2008, begins with the following line: “Whatcha gonna do with your freedom?” Had the local turntablist read his horoscope prior to that Thursday morning, he likely would have viewed its contents with the same quaint amusement most of us assume when discovering what the stars supposedly have in store for us on any given day. But May 1 was no ordinary day for Williams, a.k.a. DJ A-Dog. And on that day, the mystical ruminations of a California astrologist would seem eerily prophetic. Early that morning, an apartment building on North Union Street in Burlington was consumed by fire, apparently the result of a carelessly discarded cigarette that smoldered for hours between two

couch cushions before igniting. Williams had called the building home for the better part of six years and his apartment held virtually every earthly possession he owned. Nearly all of it fell victim to the fire, by heat, smoke damage or water damage from the firefighting effort. At approximately 3 a.m. the previous night, Williams returned home from his weekly residency at Burlington’s 1/2 Lounge. He awoke less than four hours later to frantic pounding on his door as his neighbor — who initially noticed the blaze — attempted to rouse the building’s tenants. “I had only been awake for, like, two minutes, so at first I didn’t understand,” says Williams, recalling the morning. “Then I saw these crazy flames coming through the window and was, like, ‘Whoa. Should I try to put it out?’” Williams wisely decided to evacuate and fled the building. “I got outside and saw the entire side of the building, both porches ablaze,” he says. As he reached safety, he could hear fire engines approaching and briefly entertained notions that the building could be saved. “I never realized the extent of what could go on [in a fire].”
The extent of the damage was almost total, including clothing, equipment and more intimately personal effects such as scrapbooks and photo albums. Worse still, Williams’ two cats perished in the blaze. Williams is a self-professed “collector.” While most of his various collections, such as skateboarding magazines and design work, urban artwork and show posters were destroyed, one collection in particular managed to survive the ordeal: his records. DJ A-Dog was back in business by that Saturday night. And last Thursday, he was scratching and cutting with the Dave Grippo Funk Band and his VT Union cohorts in front of an enthusiastic and appreciative crowd for an impromptu benefit in his honor on the outdoor stage at Red Square. “Sometimes I think it’s more traumatic to everyone else than it is to me,” he says, speaking to the outpouring of support he’s received since the fire. “It’s overwhelming, but I’ve had to swallow a big part of myself and say, ‘You know what? I do need this.’ I just can’t believe that I impact people on that level.”
But Williams does impact people. Over the years, he estimates that he’s played more than 40 benefits and made countless other appearances at events that DJs with far lesser reputations would likely turn down. His willingness to lend his talented hands is currently being repaid in spades. This Wednesday, Higher Ground is hosting a massive benefit featuring the cream of the local DJ crop, as well as giveaways from Analog, Maven, Status Kicks, 1/2 lounge and longtime A-Dog sponsor Burton Snowboards. Through it all, Williams has
maintained a near Zen-like state of mind, perhaps best reflected by the words of his curiously timed horoscope. The afternoon following the fire, a friend called his attention to the ethereal prediction, which he hadn’t seen. “I just laughed,” he says before repeating the first line, “Whatcha gonna do with your freedom?” He pauses before adding, “I don’t know if there’s a handbook that tells you how to deal with this stuff. Maybe you should break down and cry or something. But really, I’m OK with this,” he concludes. “And in a weird way, that’s just how I feel. Free.” >

on a roll Move over, ’bladers and ’boarders — when it comes to aggro action on wheels, roller derby is the eyelinerwearing, tough-talking new gal on the block. The nationally organized, exhibition-style sport arrived in Vermont this past winter with the formation of the Green Mountain Derby Dames, and the nascent skaters have been practicing hard. More than 20 of the team’s femme fatales pull on quad skates, pads and fishnets for a blockand-stop demo-derby showcase that’ll run pink, glittery circles around your average evening out. A Queen City rock triumvirate offers a live soundtrack: bewigged, Spandexed ’80s hair-band vibes from Bone Cobra, smart ’n’ hard power rock from Party Star, and hardcore punk from the band Y69. Ticket sales fund the launch of a 2009 bouting season, with home and away “games” against other derby teams from New England and beyond. ‘Hell on Hot Wheelz’

scene@ “WHAT MOVES YOU? BODY LANGUAGE”
ECHO LAKE AQUARIUM AND SCIENCE CENTER, BURLINGTON, SUNDAY, MAY 18, 11 A.M.
photo: matthew thorsen
Most people wouldn’t take directions from a boy wearing neon-checkered Hammer pants, a clown nose and rainbow knee-highs, or think that he could teach you anything about the forces of physics. But I’m not most people. Jacob Tischler, a performer for Circus Smirkus, was demonstrating the physics of clowning, juggling and circus performance as a part of “What Moves You? Body Language” — the new exhibit at ECHO that explores the physics of human movement. Before I could say “centrifugal force,” I was standing in front of an audience of toddlers and parents, volunteering for a trick Tischler called “the human table.” Four chairs were arranged in a tight square, with the seated volunteers facing in all four directions. “Now, lean back on the person’s knees behind you and push up with your hips to support the person leaning on your knees,” Tischler said. OK, I thought, this won’t be too bad. “Now keep balancing, and I’m going to slide the chairs out from under you,” he said in the same calm voice that doctors use before sticking you with a hypodermic. That’s when it occurred to me the other volunteers supporting my weight and saving me from a bruised tailbone were complete strangers. But there was no turning back. When the last chair was removed, some magical force called the center of gravity kept our human table standing. I’ll admit it was pretty cool, but it was also nice to return my center of gravity to the upright position. As I explored the rest of the exhibit, transferring my weight step by step, I saw children and some creative adults recording the movements of their shadows on Snibbe Screens. These look like homemade versions of those iTunes TV commercials, and you can email the images to family and friends. I even witnessed rotational motion take its toll on one boy, who fell off a spinning turntable. After that spill, I wondered, would he ever take a physics class? I remembered later that I didn’t take physics in high school myself. Maybe I would have if the teacher was a clown and we could have made shadow puppets on the dryerase board. MIKE DIBIASIO

MOVING PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION Even post-Netflix, samples of early cinema require a projector and a plush-seated theater to do them justice. The Vergennes Opera House offers one such place to experience the silver screen untarnished. This week, the venue relaunches an expanded version of its monthly Friday Night Flicks series after a yearand-a-half hiatus, waiving the usual $5 entrance fee for the Marx Brothers’ eyebrow-waggling class-clash comedy A Night at the Opera (pictured). Hankering for a pre-talkie fix? Rutland-area residents can catch a one-time screening of The Kid — Charlie Chaplin’s silent 1921 feature about an incorrigible tramp who raises a loyal street urchin — set to live music by local pianist Leslie Klami.

According to popular legend, a Hellenic herald hoofed it home to Athens from the Battle of Marathon — 26.22 miles — to announce the Greeks’ victory over the Persians. Regardless of whether that first jaunt actually occurred in 490 B.C.E., the race caught on at the 1896 Olympics. This weekend, 3600 men and women from all over compete, both on foot and in wheelchairs, in the Vermont City Marathon. In addition to the solo competitors, more than 4000 relay racers pound the pavement on a slightly different course, and kids ages 4 to 14 get a leg up on the sport at a youth running festival in Waterfront Park on Saturday. Go, team! VERMONT CITY MARATHON

WOMEN’S WORK Seven hundred years before women’s lib, the 12th-century German abbess and visionary Hildegard von Bingen authored treatises on subjects ranging from theology to botany to medicine to sex, developed a system of shorthand for medieval Latin, and crisscrossed Europe on far-flung preaching tours. She was also a prolific producer of sacred vocal pieces — the first composer we know so much about, of either gender. The Dartmouth Chamber Singers belt out von Bingen’s monophonic “O Frondens Virga” as part of a wideranging survey of works by women. Also on the program: pieces by 19th-century pianist-composers Clara Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel, two creators starting to free themselves from the long shadows cast by their more famous musical husbands. Six other female composers, three of them still living, represent the 20th and 21st centuries. Hear, hear.

If you’re looking for relationships, dates, flirts, or to hook-up, this is your scene. WOMEN seeking MEN STILL SEEKING MY HAPPY ENDING I am so terrible with these. I’m searching, just like everyone else. Maybe, since I’m such a book lover, I’ll use that literary standby and say I’m looking to write my own “happily ever after.” I am honest that I’m “plus-sized,” so it’s only fair that I ask you not to respond to me if that’s not to your liking. browneyedvirgo, 32, #109760 A ROMANTIC AT HEART Busy mother of two, recently separated and searching for something new. Enjoys getting out of the house and just seeing where the night takes us. Always up for a good time and a laugh. Show me a little affection and I’ll show you a delicious, homecooked meal and foot rub. How can you pass up an offer like that? ISOaBiggerPond, 30, u, #109728 LOOK INTO EYES, SEE SOUL Laughing, loving elder shamaness wants intimacy of friendship first. Make music, drum, dance, walk in woods, sit in front of fire, love animals. Sense of humor, intelligence, groundedness, compassion, peace loving, ability to converse on variety of topics important. Love different cultures. Be my sacred wise male! Native American background a plus, deeply spiritual, openminded a must. No conservatives! coeurbee, 63, #109548 PROFESSIONAL, ATHLETIC, FUN FEMALE I enjoy playing sports, especially soccer. I also enjoy working out and living a healthy lifestyle. I don’t smoke or do drugs but I like to go out and have a good time. I enjoy going to concerts and like various types of music.

Basically I am looking for someone to get to know, and whatever comes after that is great! Angelwishing, 26, l, #109653 NAUGHTY BUT NICE I’m such a nut-job, seriously. And by the way, I’m totally cute. I work too much and have a million kids. Kinda hoping for a NORMAL man to entertain me. I don’t take myself seriously at all, so my god, you shouldn’t either. Can you deal with an amazing, slightly off-balance girl? I promise I’m worth it. RescueDiva, 26, u, l, #109623

i Spy... Dear Mistress Maeve: I’m a 25-year-old female with an aggravating problem. Usually, when my boyfriend and I have sex, I’m fine. However, when we have sex more than once in a 24-hour period, I end up with a urinary tract infection. What’s up with this, and how can I prevent it? I already pee after sex, so please don’t give me that same advice. Sincerely, Feelin’ the Burn
Dear F.T.B., Rule #1: If anything burns in your nether regions, see your doctor! Urinary tract infections, or UTIs, are an unfortunate side effect of sex for many women. Infections can occur when common bacteria make their way up the urinary tract thanks to the friction caused by intercourse or other heavy petting — and the more you do, the greater the risk. You’re right, you should pee after intercourse — but also pee before sex; it’s a good way to flush out potentially harmful bacteria. And remember, always wipe front to back! Obviously, drink lots of water to keep the flow going, but you might also consider drinking cranberry juice or adding a cranberry supplement to your diet. I’ve heard friends say that their urinary tract infections all but disappeared when they switched positions to ones that cause less friction on the urethra (like doggy-style or reverse cowgirl). The less sweat, fluid and pressure on your pee-hole, the better. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England cites E. coli, found in the rectal area, as a common culprit when it comes to UTIs. So please, if you’re engaging in anal play, do not use the same fingers, toys or condoms in your vagina. No double dipping. Follow these rules, and hopefully your burning desire won’t turn into a burning disaster.
Going with the flow,
mm

Purpose/Nature of Project: Renovation and reconstruction of existing building for six units of affordable housing. Location of Project: 105 East Allen Street, Winooski, Vermont Estimated Cost of Project: $874,000, with up to $257,000 in HOME funds anticipated. Project Summary The project involves the renovation of two apartments in an existing brick building, the deconstruction of a wood frame addition and attached shed, and the construction of four apartments on the existing footprint of the addition and shed. Findings of No Significant Impact The Vermont Housing and Conservation Board has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at the offices of VHCB, 149 State Street, Montpelier, and may be examined or copied weekdays 8:30-12:00 and 1:00-4:30. The Finding of No Significant Impact is based on the following: The project involves renovations and reconstruction on the building footprint of an existing building which is in poor condition. It will enhance the neighborhood and provide higher quality housing than currently exists. The project has been reviewed by the City of Winooski Development Review Board, which has determined that it is in compliance with the zoning ordinance and will not have an adverse impact on the community. Public Comments on Finding Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to US Department of HUD – Manchester Field Office regarding the use of HOME funds at the appropriate addresses as listed at the end of this notice. All comments received by June 15, 2008 will be considered by the appropriate party prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing. Request for Release of Funds Based on approval of funding, The Vermont Housing and Conservation Board will undertake the project described above with HOME funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as administered through the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board. The State is certifying that John Hall, in his official capacity as Commissioner of the Department of Housing and Community Affairs, consent to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to environmental reviews, decision making, and action; and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The legal effect of the certification is that upon its approval, the Agency will have satisfied its responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and other environmental responsibilities listed in 24 CFR Part 58. Objections to Release of Funds The agency will accept an objection to its approval of the release of funds and acceptance of the certification only if it is on one of the following bases: (a) that the certification was not in fact executed by the Certifying Officer approved by the Agency; (b) that the environmental review record for the project(s) indicated omission of a required decision, finding, or step applicable to the project(s) in the environmental review process;

Take A Deep Breath We Vermonters breathe the cleanest air in the nation. One big reason for this is the safe, clean and reliable power supplied by Vermont Yankee. We supply more than a third of the state’s electricity needs. And, unlike coal- or oilfired plants, we generate electricity with zero greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, we’re so committed to Vermont’s clean air that we’ve pledged $16 million through 2008 to the “Clean Energy Fund,” to combat global warming. On this subject, Vermonters and Vermont Yankee are in complete agreement. According to the most recent Doyle Town Meeting Day survey, Vermonters believe — by a margin of 3-to-1 — that our state should take the lead in addressing climate change. Vermonters also believe that Vermont Yankee’s license should be renewed in 2012. So breathe deeply, Vermont, but don’t relax yet. Our clean air is too important to take for granted — and 2012 will be here sooner than we think.
