Blog: Disquisitions and Revolutions
ANTI-AMERICAN Open Letter to American Apparel: We are writing to express our collective disdain for your advertising campaign, as seen recently in Seven Days. Your latest ad [April 18] has prompted this response, but it also represents disapproval for your entire campaign, not just this particular crotch shot, apparently meant to sell “The Hooters Short.” In a culture already saturated with violence, and with popular media blurring any boundaries between pornography and advertising, is it any wonder that, among all the countries that report such statistics, rape is more common in the U.S. than any other country in the world? The fact is that hundreds of thousands of women are sexually assaulted in our country every year. American Apparel’s advertising campaign contributes to this culture of violence by condoning and normalizing it. It seems that you are intentionally choosing not to portray young women in a respectful or constructive manner, and we suggest that you reconsider the direction that your ad campaign is taking. We challenge American Apparel to live up to, not just profit from, your public image of social responsibility. If you would like to get involved with our media awareness group, contact us at Take Back the Media VT@gmail.com. Darrell Crawford Morris

A GREATER TRAGEDY
Last Monday a deeply isolated and troubled young man committed an act of great violence and tragedy, one that speaks to many problems in our nation and our human society. In an unrelated article, The New York Times reported on Saturday that 33-year-old Kelly Lawson of Fort Wayne, Indiana, said, in reaction to having a Buddhist temple near her home, “I can’t stand them. It is strange to us, so we don’t like it.” In the same article, Donna Davis, 56, also of Fort Wayne, said, “If they want to live here, why can’t they start acting like Americans?” Thanks, Kelly and Donna! You’re sure doing your part! The nation is grateful to you both for your truly brilliant insight! Please, someone tell me, if I do have to start acting like an American, that I don’t have to act like the people in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Posted April 22 by Jim Blynt

BAD JUDGMENT Last Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling that abandoned firmly established precedent and created a seismic shift in our legal landscape [“Poli Psy,” April 25]. The 5-4 federal abortion ban decision in Gonzales v. Carhart is clear evidence that threats to women’s health and rights are no longer theoretical. In her dissenting opinion, Justice Ginsburg noted that the court’s opinion “tolerates, indeed applauds, federal intervention to ban nationwide a procedure found necessary and proper in certain cases by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.” We’re disappointed by a decision that allows politicians to make intensely private medical decisions. Until now, every single court that examined this legislation struck it down because, among other things, it failed to protect women’s health. But it took just one year for a “differently composed” court to undo more than 34 years of established law. What does this mean for the women of Vermont? Once in effect, this law will affect a small number of second- and thirdtrimester abortions in the U.S. It is
likely to have little or no impact on abortion care at PPNNE, although medical professionals and lawyers are still reviewing the decision to better understand just exactly how it will affect women — and the physicians who care for them — across the country. We can also expect a flood of new legislation aimed at further reducing abortion access. While the current administration has been packing the courts with activist judges, we’ve been focused on our mission of equal access to affordable health care and sexual health education. We’ve been giving information, not withholding it. We’ve been supporting women and families, not condemning them. And we invite those who are opposed to abortion to join us in preventing the need for them. PPNNE is still here for Vermont women seeking reproductive health care and information, including those facing an unintended pregnancy. We will not back down on our commitment to ensurie the 26,000 women, men and teens we serve annually in this state are treated with respect and given medically accurate education and safe care. Our doors stay open. Carol Tudhope BURLINGTON

BONE APPETITE It was the color photograph of a lip-smacking steer and accompanying headline that caught my eye [“The Grass-Fed Is Greener,� April 18]. The tag line continued, “A tartare tasting raises the question: Is it better?� With that said, I expected to learn something about whether or not grass-fed beef tasted better than the typical feedlot beef that makes up most of the U.S. marketplace. Instead, I found mostly a political, ethical and scientific discourse. Important issues,
to be sure. But does grass-fed beef actually taste better? That’s a question that can only be answered by tuning in to your own senses of taste and smell. And those attributes were curiously missing from an article about a tasting. Here’s my beef: Over the past couple of decades, more and more people have begun to define what they “like� based largely on data about calories, grams of fat, geographic origin or the perceived safety of the foods they’re offered. Food has deservedly become an
intellectual subject of analysis and debate. But when we focus too much on the facts of what we’re eating, it distracts from the sensual experience, and the pure joy of eating and drinking can easily turn into a simple refueling process. With the pace of modern life, we tend to devour our food and guzzle our beer and wine. Indeed, the article reported that the diners “polished off � and “wolfed down� the meal, which of course may be more of a tribute to the culinary skills of chefs Warnstedt and
Tresser than a testimony to the superior qualities of grass-fed beef. I’m not saying that grass-fed beef doesn’t taste better — just that the article never really got around to addressing that question. This dinner was a benefit for Slow Food USA, whose slogan is “Taste, tradition and the honest pleasures of food.� I think it’s great to highlight the efforts of passionate farmers and artisan food producers who are creating the next wave of evolution in Vermont farming and food products, and providing attractive alternatives to the mass-produced fare otherwise available. It is socially responsible and spiritually nourishing to be mindful of where your food comes from. But don’t confuse that with the sensual experience of eating and drinking — that’s something else entirely. It’s a big part of who we are as humans, so let’s keep that in mind any time we sit down at the table to share a meal. Enjoy! Peter Straube
Bush is only a symbol and a symptom, as was his fellow Bonesman Kerry, and all the other well-coiffed predators that the Demicans and Republicrats fob on us year after year, smug and secure that we, the “electorate,� will be sucked in by all the sound and fury. If we look to “our� leaders for the answers to our problems, almost without exception we will be betrayed, manipulated and served up by the factory farm of political process. Understandably, this is simply too painful to acknowledge. So we don’t. We tell ourselves that at least “our� leaders who are on “our� side of the aisle are trying to do what’s right. Anyone who trusts authorities more than themselves gets exactly what they deserve, year after year after bloody year. Will impeachment solve anything? I hope so. Vincent Downing

BUSH PUTSCH Impeachment. What a lyrical, wonderful word. The very idea that the feckless frat boy in the White House could actually be held accountable for “his� administration’s ever metastasizing malfeasance is something that makes me, like Mr. Freyne [“Inside Track,� April 25], hopeful. But for better or for worse, adulthood demands that I manage my denial.

BURLINGTON — Sarah Rose, 13, put down her paint roller to explain why she was helping decorate a house in downtown Burlington that will soon be home for 10 women newly released from prison. “It’s important because people deserve a second chance to get back on their feet instead of going back to their problems,” the Hunt Middle School student said.

Burlington fire marshal John Vincent, were painting a springy green.

This will be a good start for these women. It’ll be a safe environment with everything they need right nearby. RED VINCENT
Sarah was one of several volunteers who spent last Saturday readying the 150-year-old Varney House on Cherry St. for its opening early next month as the Northern Lights transitional home. They are donating not only time but also money to paint and furnish the bedrooms where the former inmates will stay for up to a year under the supportive supervision of a consortium of agencies while seeking permanent homes. “It’s a chance to have fun and decorate in your own taste,” HowardCenter volunteer Ginny Couture said of the workers she was helping to coordinate. Each of the rooms in the refurbished home is being “done up with love and kindness,” Couture added. Red Vincent said she plans to hang a few of her own photos in the second-floor bedroom that she and her husband, retired

know how to give of themselves,” Red replied. “They’re missing out on something wonderful.” “We’re Burlingtonians,” John added. “We’re here to help new neighbors.” Laurie Valentine, 76, is donating her services as a semi-professional interior designer. The Wake Robin resident said she took a correspondence course in homedecorating a decade ago, and now looks for opportunities “to do pro bono work in a way I really enjoy.” Valentine hasn’t decided on the décor for the home’s 130square-foot dining room, which must accommodate 10 residents and a live-in staffer, but she knows plaid won’t be part of it. “That’s the kind of thing you’d see in a prison waiting room,” Valentine suggested. Her aim for the Varney House interior is to “show you can make
an environment pretty and make yourself feel better as a result. It’s known that the environment you build around you becomes part of your personality.” One way to achieve a cheery look at 76 Cherry St. is by “getting as much light as possible into the rooms,” Valentine explained. “Other than that, though, it’s pretty constraining, given the size of the spaces and the budget.” About $15,000 from the project’s $600,000 capital cost has been set aside for interior design, Valentine said. The total sum included the purchase price of the property, which had sat empty for 15 years. The Burlington Housing Authority bought the Varney House, which abuts the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, from the Catholic Diocese of Burlington for $185,000. BHA continues to own the building; residents’ rent will come from a portion of their own employment income and federal housing subsidies; the Howard Center will cover those ineligible for subsidies. While the HowardCenter is responsible for coordinating services for Northern Lights, the nine social agencies sponsoring the transitional housing program will share the task of delivering them, including staff. The women will receive rehabilitation services, including job counseling. An open house on May 29 will let the community see the transformation of the multi-sectional clapboard home. Among the invited guests are local merchants who tried to block Northern Lights, arguing that the Varney House should be reused in a way more in sync with downtown commerce. Members of the consortium had sought to soothe skeptics’ concerns, said Cara Gleason, a staff member at the HowardCenter. The former prisoners, who may range in age from 23 to 59, will be screened by the Vermont Department of Corrections to ensure they remain nonviolent, she said. “This will be a good start for these women,” suggested Red Vincent. “It’ll be a safe environment with everything they need right nearby.” Northern Lights at Varney House will help meet a share of the “incredible need for transitional housing,” Gleason said. As many as 100 female offenders remain imprisoned beyond their scheduled release date because they have no appropriate place to go, according to the Vermont Department of Corrections. Beth Dusablon, another volunteer painter, said she knows how difficult it can be for a female former inmate to find a place of her own. A third- and fourth-grade teacher at Allen Brook School in Williston, Dusablon said she had mentored a woman released from prison a few years ago. “She really wanted to get her life together,” Dusablon recalled, “but it was so hard to get an apartment she could afford.” �

Conference Teaches VT College Students Protest 101 and show their ID cards to other students wearing military costumes. “There was a very interesting response” to this guerrillatheater performance, says Lili Weckler, one of its organizers. “A lot of people had questions. They wanted to know why we were protesting the war this way.” These tactics will be explained and applied on May 5. For example, students who helped organize the St. Mike’s die-in will be staging another such dramatization on the Church Street Marketplace from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Strewn bodies will be the props for projecting Burlington shoppers
Drew Cameron, a UVM student and Iraq war veteran, will argue for immediate U.S. withdrawal from a GI’s perspective when he speaks at an evening session concluding the conference. Students can play a decisive role in putting an end to an unpopular war, just as they did during the Vietnam era, suggests Sahim Elhamoumi, a St. Michael’s senior. “We have the time, energy and resources that maybe older people don’t have,” she says. The Vietnam protests of four decades ago “have been a really big factor of cross-fertilization for us,” adds Nelson. “The lessons of

BURLINGTON — If the current death rates continue, at least another 10,000 Iraqis and 300 U.S. soldiers will have lost their lives by September 2007. And students returning to Vermont campuses for the fall semester could be primed to respond commensurately to the unabated carnage. Organizers at eight colleges around the state — from Marlboro to Middlebury to St. Michael’s — are planning to meet May 5 at the University of Vermont to launch a Campus Antiwar Network. The aim of the daylong conference is to intensify and coordinate protests during the next academic year.
Since the November elections, the public has been generating raised expectations for actions against the war. We’re trying to make that happen in Vermont. ANDREW NELSON

“Since the November elections, the public has been generating raised expectations for actions against the war,” says Andrew Nelson, a UVM senior and a convenor of Saturday’s Statewide Student Antiwar Conference. “We’re trying to make that happen in Vermont.” Recent campus demonstrations suggest that the Vermont student antiwar movement is gaining momentum. Red dye was splattered on body-shaped indentations in the snow as part of a Day of Mourning, Action and Peace held at St. Michael’s College on March 20. The die-in initiated a series of events attended by hundreds of St. Mike’s students on the fourth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. At Middlebury College, students heading into a dining hall one evening last month were ordered to form a single-file line
into an everyday scene in Baghdad. At a workshop at UVM later in the day, Middlebury students will describe the dining-hall checkpoint skit and present guerrilla theater as “a creative and effective response” to the war, according to Weckler. “We’ll explain how you can bring back this form of activism to your own school,” says the 19-year-old sophomore from California. Another afternoon workshop will make the case for why occupation forces should be withdrawn from Iraq without delay. “Confusion about this is the next big thing for the antiwar movement to overcome,” says conference coordinator Nelson. “A lot of people are angry about the war, but because the Democrats and Republicans are united about staying in Iraq for at least several more months, people aren’t sure about having the troops pulled out now.”
that struggle are helping arm a new generation with ideas for political action.” Students striving to expand today’s antiwar movement on Vermont campuses must grapple, however, with the challenge of constant turnover among activists. “It’s hard to build a student organization that lasts, because students are only involved for four years,” notes Kate Magill. But the Marlboro College senior says she and a carload of fellow activists will travel to Burlington for Saturday’s conference because “I want to do what I can to make sure this network gets going and stays in place next year and after.”
The Statewide Student Antiwar Conference will take place this Saturday, May 5, primarily at Lafayette Hall on the UVM campus. For info, call Andrew Nelson at 318-3453. �

JFS Electric Inc.
HUNGER STRIKERS AT UVM LAST MONTH
BURLINGTON — Anyone who’s been around the University of Vermont long enough remembers some incarnation of “tent city” — the iconic student protest camp. Every few years, a group of inspired collegiate activists decides to sleep out on the green in front of Morrill Hall for a few days to show UVM administrators they mean business. This year’s bloody shirt? Livable wages. But two indignant student activists contend that the administration chilled their rights to free speech by dragging out the tent-permitting process over the course of two months. The rabble-rousers also allege that the administration has been secretly watering down its free-speech policies. Representatives from the student and faculty senates counter that the activists’ instincts are admirable, but their claims are overblown.
Free speech ought to outweigh any potential damage to the grass. MAX TRACY, SLAP
The Student Labor Action Project, or SLAP, has been lobbying UVM higher-ups to pay all university employees a “livable wage” — enough to meet a family’s basic needs — since 2005. On April 9, SLAP erected a tent city at Royall Tyler Theater plaza as yet another strategic pressure tactic. But SLAP organizer Max Tracy, 20, says the site wasn’t their first choice. SLAP had asked permission to camp out on Morrill Hall green seven weeks earlier. And SLAP’s original request for a 12-day permit was reduced to a one-night stand. A flurry of bureaucratic back and forth followed. UVM’s Student Government Association (SGA) Senate and a coalition of sympathetic Dems and Progs from the Vermont House drafted resolutions supporting an extension. Director of Student Life Pat Brown extended the permit until April 14. On April 16, the group appealed the decision to Assistant Vice President of Campus and Student Life Annie Stevens. Stevens responded three days later that she considered their appeal “moot” because their permit had already been extended. SLAP organizers were later granted a separate permit request for their hunger strike, which they conducted from April 23 to 27. (The students ultimately concluded the university was adequately addressing the livable-wage issue on campus.) Brown and Stevens did not return phone calls for this story. According to a 21-year-old SLAP representative, who requested to be identified only as the co-president of Students for Peace and Global Justice, SLAP was forced to meet with UVM administrators on nine separate occasions — what the student calls a “ridiculous number of times” — to obtain tent-city and hunger-strike permits. Tracy adds, “Free speech ought to outweigh any potential damage to the grass.”
And that’s exactly where the SLAP students get it wrong, argues newly appointed SGA president Kesha Ram. “The most important thing to students is graduation,” says Ram. “People want a nice lawn to sit on.” She claims that the Department of Student Life “bent over backwards” for SLAP during the permitting processes. “Sometimes [student] groups can vilify administrators,” she suggests, emphasizing that it can be difficult for students to see administrative policies from a “macro level.” Beginning in February, Ram and other SGA senators were provided with copies of proposed revisions to two university policies: “Freedom of Expression of Dissent” and “Facilities and Grounds Use.” If UVM’s Board of Trustees approves the changes over the weekend of May 18, the section on “symbolic structures,” which includes “tents” and “shanties,” would be moved from the “Dissent” to the “Facilities” policy. In addition, the “Dissent” policy’s existing section on “disruptions” would be expanded. The new documents would also remove jurisdiction over the “Dissent” policy from Provost John Hughes to President Daniel Fogel. Tracy and his fellow SLAP activist express concern about both the nature of the changes and the process by which the revisions have been conducted, which Tracy characterizes as “underhanded.” Both men worry, for example, that moving the “symbolic structures” provisions from “Dissent” to “Facilities” would stifle students’ rights to free speech. Tracy also suggests, “You shouldn’t have to apply to the person you’re trying to protest [Fogel], to protest.” He notes of this semester’s policy-revision process, “We get the sense that there’s a lot of background dealing — and I’m really uncomfortable with that.” Psychology Professor Justin Joffe, who chairs the Faculty Senate, supports the administration’s changes. He asserts that policies regarding symbolic structures are only “tangentially related to freedom of dissent.” Moreover, he says, giving the president jurisdiction over the “Dissent” policy makes it “clear where the responsibility lies.” According to Joffe, a “balance” between different groups’ “rights to freedom of expression” needs to be maintained. “The proof of the [revised policy] will be in its implementation in the event of a confrontation,” he speculates. “An institution has the right to limit free speech in terms of time, place and manner,” insists student body president Ram. “Not everyone’s allowed to do everything they want.” Ram, 20, admits she doesn’t know who drafted the policy changes, but she says she plans to bring up her concerns over the proposed changes at a May 3 meeting with the student body. She worries that if the changes were to pass in their current form, the traditional 30-day camp-out limit for tent cities and other symbolic structures would be restricted to three days. She also raises questions about proposed alterations to the tent-permit appeal process. In the end, Ram believes “the aim of [the policies] is well meaning” in spite of their bureaucratic complexities. “Policies are policies,” she observes. “They’re not very easy to read.” �

heelchair-bound New Jersey Gov. John Corzine got emotional Monday as he left the hospital and apologized for the example he set by not wearing a seat belt. The Democratic guv sustained massive injuries in a recent, well-publicized accident in his official gubernatorial motor vehicle. “I’ll work very hard to try to set the right kind of example to make a difference in people’s lives as we go forward,” said Corzine on Monday. On Tuesday morning, Vermont’s Gov. Jim Douglas, a Republican, was not apologetic when yours truly asked him at his weekly presser about the expired

that ‘nice young man.’ He really was a dear friend.” Valenti passed away on April 26. He was a short guy who stood very, very tall on the public-policy stage, and he was a pilot on more than 50 B-25 missions in World War II. Leahy, Vermont’s half-Italian native of Montpeculiar, has been back in the national spotlight of late — especially with his Senate Judiciary Committee’s probe into the firing of the eight United States attorneys for apparent political reasons by Karl Rove’s hatchet man — Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez. That’s a no-no in the land of “justice.” It also was the first topic we tossed in St. Pat’s kisser when the interview began. Does he really want President George W. Bush to replace the current attorney general, who has lost credibility even among several Republicans? SEN. PATRICK LEAHY: Replace Gonzalez? The only way the White House would replace him is if they thought they could put somebody else that they could control as well as they’ve controlled him. [Gonzalez] has taken the position that he’s a member of the president’s staff as well as being head of the Justice Department. He’s said so publicly. Of course, in that regard, the president’s absolutely wrong. We have secretaries of commerce, agriculture and so on. We don’t have a “Secretary of Justice.” We have an attorney general of the United States. It’s a unique position. It’s supposed to represent everybody. And it’s hard to find, even in John Mitchell’s day [he served under Richard M. Nixon, and resigned during the Watergate scandal], anybody who has allowed the White House to pull the strings as much as he has. The only way they’ll replace him is if they can get somebody else they think they can 1. get confirmed, and 2. would do the bidding of Karl Rove. Another area in which Vermont’s senior senator has noticed significant damage to the nation under Bush is a result of mishandling, or ignoring, Katrina aid from countries that once were our loyal allies. LEAHY: The problem is, it’s like all the other messes: The next president is going to have to clean up. We have the horrible disarray in the Department of Homeland Security. Not only haven’t they even cleaned up after Katrina, we now find that there were hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars that other countries wanted to donate to us and they never accepted it. Couldn’t figure out what to do. Couldn’t make the decision. So it went uncollected, making these countries wonder what’s wrong with us.

Sen. Leahy also told us about serious dissatisfaction among veteran employees at the Department of Justice — Alberto Gonzalez Land.
Pat the “Leaky Leahy” moniker way back then.] I apologized for releasing an unclassified report. The final report they issued had all that detail plus a lot more.
LEAHY: Traditionally, there’s always been a number of parts of the Department of Justice that are totally nonpartisan: civil rights, antitrust and the criminal divisions. They’ve had people there — professionals — who with the change of administrations usually stay there. However, an awful lot of these professionals are leaving because they’re being interfered with. They have a fellowship program in civil rights, begun under Eisenhower’s time, that’s continued with the very best people coming in. It’s continued through Republican and Democratic administrations, and it has been discontinued by this administration. I mean: Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, former Pres. Bush and Clinton. It was a great idea. This president gets rid of it.
TRACK: What did you think of Tenet on “60 Minutes?” LEAHY: I want to read the book [At the Center of the Storm: My Years at the CIA]. I think everybody’s trying to cover their backsides. I was disappointed watching it, but I felt that way. I also think it’s extremely important that we complete these investigations now so that whoever the next president is will not be tempted to do the same things, just because of the backlash on it.
TRACK: Have you read in the Vermont press about the grassroots movement to impeach President Bush? LEAHY: Yeah, and I’ve read also the editorials from the Rutland Herald and several others that say that, as much as it’s a good, visceral reaction, to spend the next 2 1/2 years into the next presidential term on this, instead of having the time being spent on the things we’re doing, may not make sense. I share the same attitudes of those who want to impeach. This man is horrible. The fact of the matter is, the only way we’re now finding out all these things — the cost overruns, the U.S. attorneys, the manipulation by Condoleezza Rice and all the others — is because we have Democrats in control and actually subpoenaing and calling hearings. That was never done before. Never done. TRACK: Did you watch former CIA Director George Tenet on “60 Minutes”? LEAHY: I did. TRACK: I may have met him back in the 1980s. I don’t remember back that far. LEAHY: You have. TRACK: Was he on your staff before he went on the Intelligence Committee staff? LEAHY: No, he was on my Intelligence Committee staff when I was vice-chairman — 198586. [Leahy left in 1987, two months ahead of his term’s expiration. He had released a report to NBC, a non-classified report. Unfortunately for Leahy, the reports were numbered, and the NBC reporter held up the cover page, with Leahy’s number, for TV viewers to see. It earned St.
TRACK: Any concern on your part, as we start high-speed presidential campaigning way, way, way early, that this is gonna end up hurting? LEAHY: I think that it’s a mistake. I think the way the primaries are so bunched together, I think it puts too much of an emphasis on both money and an early start, and that worries me greatly. I was in California four weeks ago and President Bush asked me what I thought about all this, and I said we pick ’em by conventions. I think that we will elect a Democrat, but whoever the next president is, is going to have to reintroduce America to the rest of the world. And [I think] that I’ve become more and more convinced of that as I go around the world. I’m going to be in the Middle East in the next few weeks. Here we are, the country of the Marshall Plan. The Peace Corps. Great humanitarian efforts. And we’re so disliked around the world by countries that had always admired us before. And the same things that make us an admirable country are still there, except for the policies of this administration. The next president has to do two things: End the Iraq war, because apparently this president intends to drop the whole mess on [the next administration] instead of doing it himself, even though we’ve been there longer than in World War II. And then they’re going to have to reintroduce America to the rest of the world, as sad as that is. But it’s the most important thing they could do, far more important than who they appoint as the secretary of this or director of that. For the sake of this country, for the security of this country, for the ability of this country to progress, they have to reintroduce us to the rest of the world. Let’s hope they are successful, eh? � Read “Freyne Land,” Peter’s political blog online at http://7d.blogs.com/freyneland. To reach Peter Freyne, email freyne@sevendaysvt.com.

Putting on a professional theater production can be nerve-wracking long before opening night. Will the actors manage to memorize those mountains of dialogue? Can the designer create a workable set? Is the lighting technician going to get his cues straight? And, not least, will enough tickets be sold to cover the costs? As with so many things in life, the whole is utterly dependent on the sum of its parts, and a director has only so much quality control. So Vermont Stage Company Artistic Director Mark Nash really didn’t need another dramawithin-the-drama while preparing for the final show in his season, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? But that is exactly what he got. Theater companies have to get permission to stage any production, but in the case of Virginia Woolf, playwright “Edward Albee himself has to approve the cast and the director before granting producing rights,� Nash explains in an email. “We learned this a year ago when we first inquired about the rights from Samuel French, the publishing company.� Though he couldn’t cast an entire year in advance, Nash went ahead with his plans, assuming that the notoriously prickly 79-year-old playwright “would OK our choices and that all would be fine.� In February, Nash went to New York and cast his actors, then sent their resumes to Albee for approval. “Two weeks later, we get an email saying that there is
currently a national tour of Virginia Woolf and that NO RIGHTS ARE BEING GRANTED!� Nash reports. “It went on to say that we must immediately remove the show from our website and any other advertising.� Imagining his season dissolving into disaster, Nash freaked out. Then he went into action mode. First he called the publishing company and asked for an exception. After all, the touring production
to call [Albee] on my behalf and ask for an exception.� The result of that phone call is obvious: Under the direction of Stephan Golux, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? opens this week at VSC’s home, the FlynnSpace. And Nash’s anxiety has turned into ecstasy: Having watched the dress rehearsals, he declares the performances “absolutely thrilling every step of the way.� Indeed, the play has been

No dice. Plan B: somebody who knows somebody. “The world of theater is a small one,� Nash explains. The actor he cast as George, Charlie Hensley, had played the same role several years ago in another production. Maybe he knew a way to get to Albee and plead his case? In fact, Hensley had Albee’s private phone number, but he advised against calling the playwright directly, as he could be “a little volatile.� Hensley asked Nash who was producing the national tour. “I checked into it, gave him a few names, and it turns out that Charlie is friends with one of the producers,� Nash says. “He agreed

Dangerous ice jams on the Winooski River forced Montpelier residents to hunker down nervously for weeks earlier this year. This increased the challenge for one of the Capital City’s imperiled arts institutions, the Monteverdi Music School. How do you entice weary townsfolk to come out — and open their wallets? Innovative public events feed the fundraising stream, while showing larger underwriters how the organization contributes to central Vermont’s artistic vibrancy. So MMS director Tim Tavcar has planned a spring Saturday “miniFirst Night� for all ages and levels of music appreciation. With the “fun events,� low admission prices and a pay-what-you-can policy at the door, he hopes not only to maximize turnout, but also to raise the school’s profile in the community. Outreach and accessibility are part of Tavcar’s mission to dispel the myth that you have “to be a musical intellect to enjoy classical music,� he says. Playing host to all the happenings is Main Street’s Unitarian Church, which Tavcar declares is “one of the best acoustic venues in our city.� At a morning screening of Buster Keaton’s The General (1927), he expects “grandparents
bringing grandchildren.� Young ’uns might be shocked to see epic train chases accomplished without the use of CGIs or stuntmen. A last-minute hitch derailed plans for live musical accompaniment, but William Perry’s recorded soundtrack stays true to the silent era’s style: a single instrument (here, a piano) improvising on stock situational themes. Montpelier’s Capital Orchestra is cosponsoring professor David Kaslow’s afternoon workshop entitled “Musical Standards: Learning About Ourselves, Our Art, and Our Instruments.� The author and French horn player, who splits his time between Vermont and Colorado, appeals to serious musicians with his “philosophical and holistic� approach, Tavcar believes. “The Musical Mayhem of P.D.Q. Bach� caps the evening with a vigorous mix of music and comedy, featuring Monteverdi faculty musicians and vocalists. P.D.Q. Bach is the 18th-century alter-ego of modern composer Peter Schickele, and his music “is just a hoot,� says Tavcar. P.D.Q. claims to be J.S. Bach’s illegitimate 21st child, but “he outrageously steals from every other composer known to man,� Tavcar explains. In the program’s first half, per-
formers will intersperse pieces such as “The Goldbrick Variationsâ€? with dramatic readings of Great Orchestral Disasters: “true accounts of horrendous things that happened during concerts.â€? Think ax and piano keyboard, firecracker and trombone bell — artistic anger management gone awry. After intermission, Mozart’s dark opera Don Giovanni becomes The Stoned Guest in P.D.Q.’s “very ribald parody.â€? Tavcar joins in the partially staged concert version, with “entrances and exits and costumes and a couple of the special effects that are called for in the score, which usually involve a lot of beer and wine drinking,â€? he says with a hearty laugh. Schickele’s parody works because “it is an homage to the source,â€? Tavcar reflects. “Schickele himself writes serious classical pieces, and so there’s real craft there. It’s not just stealing and doing funny things . . . Although [his pieces] spoof the excesses of the composers that he’s stealing from, you can tell that it’s done with a lot of love.â€? ďż˝

The oft-proclaimed death of the American musical seems greatly exaggerated. New forms continue to evolve, and Vermont stages have recently hosted examples of a curious new sub-species: the “phase-of-life” musical revue. The latest — Midlife! The Crisis Musical — runs through Sunday at Northern Stage in White River Junction. What’s behind the genre’s genesis? The revue has roots in vaudeville: a series of thematically connected song-and-dance numbers, no plot required. Often, the music itself — a style or songwriter — provides the linking idea. The phase-of-life show stages a common slice of human experience — that is, if we all crooned and hoofed our way through bad dates or embarrassing doctor’s appointments. Midlife’s director, Catherine Doherty, traces several contributing strands of dramatic DNA. “Material that had previously been off-limits, whether it’s sex, aging, mammograms . . . is far more accepted now than it
had been 10, 15 years ago,” she notes. Musically, phase-of-life shows reflect off-Broadway’s trend of “fusion between cabaret and revue,” Doherty adds. Small ensemble casts make economic

sense; an intimate scale helps connect actors and audiences. The self-referential silliness of “Saturday Night Live” skits infuses the comedy. “This genre winks at the audience,” Doherty admits. Sharp-eyed theatrical taxidermists will note the species’ two variants: revues with original music, and “parody” shows. The “parody” plays, such as Parenting 101 (at Burlington’s Waterfront Theater last month) and
Now Change, which Doherty directed at St. Michael’s Playhouse in 2005 and Northern Stage in 2006 — balance hilarious high jinks with reflective numbers. “If you don’t play the contrast,” Doherty notes, “you end up with farce fatigue.” � Northern Stage’s production of Midlife! The Crisis Musical runs through May 6. For more info or tickets, visit www.northernstage. org or call 296-7000.
»vignette Think “religious art” means velvet paintings of Jesus? Think again. The Episcopalian Church is known for encouraging the creation of original art with sacred themes, even works on the daring side. (In 1984, Manhattan’s Cathedral of St. John the Divine got flak for exhibiting the sculpture “Christa,” a female crucified Christ figure.) In 2000, these creative impulses gave birth to an organization called the Episcopal Church & Visual Arts (ECVA). Its stated mission is “to encourage artists, individuals, congregations and scholars to engage the visual arts in the spiritual life of the church.” Burlington’s St. Paul’s Cathedral just formed a chapter of ECVA, only the 10th in the nation. The church is celebrating its commitment to the arts through May with a show that features more than 58 spiritually themed works in various media by local Episcopal artists. Notable among them — particularly because it stands 12 feet tall — is Melinda WhiteBronson’s “Good News Angel,” a plaster/mixed-media sculptural installation. Show organizer and parishioner Judith McManis says another highlight of the show is a group of icons by Zachary Roesemann. “They’re the real deal. Not
‘icons lite.’” Then there’s the unsigned “mystery painting,” which was discovered in the cathedral during a cleaning session. The congregation is selling it via silent auction. “We’re calling it ‘Easter Bunny,’” McManis says, “but it’s a very different interpretation. Some people think it’s just strange beyond words.” McManis’ liturgical fabric art has already appeared in three ECVA exhibits elsewhere. She says members of the fledging Vermont chapter hope to hold an annual show and host “meet the artist” gatherings around the state. They’ll also set up a website “so people can interact with each other and find us as artists.” For now, McManis is encouraged by the turnout of about 65 people at the show’s April 29 opening. “The whole premise of the show is the expression of people’s experience of spiritual things,” she says. “And, boy, that varies all over the map.” �
“Art and Spirit: Expressions of Our Spiritual Connection” is on view at St. Paul’s Cathedral in Burlington through May. Reception during First Friday Art Walk, May 4, 6-9 p.m. MARGOT HARRISON

Curses, Foiled Again Howard Bradley Mayfield, 47, tried to spend four counterfeit $20 bills at a convenience store in Damascus, Va., police said, but the assistant manager spotted them and recognized Mayfield as a regular customer. He called police, who went to the mobile home where Mayfield lived. Mayfield tried to get rid of the evidence by burning it, according to police Chief Tony Richardson, who found the bedroom filled with smoke and Mayfield’s girlfriend, Valerie Sue Lester, 36, sitting on the bed pretending to be knitting a sweater and ignoring the smoke pouring from under the bed while being questioned. “I actually picked the bed up and

hunters use webcams to stalk prey and computer keyboards to aim and fire rifles. The New York Times reported the bans followed a 2005 demonstration by Texas entrepreneur John Lockwood, who set up a website that allowed subscribing hunters with a high-speed Internet connection to shoot antelope, wild pigs and other game on his 220-acre ranch via remote control. Lockwood offered to send the animals’ heads to subscribers. Texas immediately outlawed the practice.

The Virtual World Three out of every 10 U.S. households have no Internet access and do not plan to get it, according to a survey by the technology market research firm Park Associates. Of the holdouts, only 22 percent said they couldn’t afford a computer or the cost of Internet service. Forty-four percent said they simply are not interested in anything on the Internet and see little use for it in their lives. “The industry continues to chip away at the core of non-subscribers,â€? said John Barrett, director of research at Parks Associate. “Entertainment applications will be the key.â€? • As of March, two dozen states have outlawed cyber-hunting, where stay-at-home

The neighbor, meanwhile, said he doesn’t blame Van Iveren for attempting to rescue a woman he thought was in

Drinking-Class Heroes Authorities in Orange County, Fla., reported that thieves used lighter fluid to start a fire in the popcorn section of a Wal-Mart store, then, during the commotion, ducked out the back door with beer. “It’s very amazing that someone would try to catch a building on fire for beer,� shopper Marsha Farrell told WFTV Eyewitness News. “But that’s the way it is in Orange County.�
Thanks for the Mammaries Cosmetic surgeons began recruiting 3000 Australian women to receive silicon breast implants coated with titanium. The metallic implants, developed in France, are intended to reduce cases of capsular contracture, an unnatural tightening where the breast becomes overly firm and sometimes distorted and painful. “The idea is when we put a titanium implant inside a patient, the body sees the titanium, not the silicon, and it won’t react,â€? study leader Dr. Daniel Fleming said, adding that the titanium “won’t interfere with mammograms or airport scanners.â€? • A British hospital appealed for volunteers to knit breasts. Liverpool Women’s Hospital said it will use the wooly breasts to teach women how to breastfeed. “You can buy model breasts,â€? Kate McFadden, the hospital’s infant feeding coordinator told the BBC, “but they cost around 35 pounds each ($70), which is quite prohibitive, as we need about 50.â€?
Unintended Results Switching to daylight saving time three weeks earlier than usual was supposed to reduce consumption of electricity. It did, but Americans negated the environmental benefit by driving more. The Edison Electric Institute reported that demand for electricity fell by 0.4 percent for the three weeks after March 11, compared with the same period last year. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, gasoline consumption increased 2.8 percent during that time. • Heightened security doesn’t reduce illegal border crossings, according to a study published by the American Immigration Law Foundation. It concluded that fences and increased surveillance close to border cities in Texas and California appear to be funneling illegal immigrants into thinly populated areas of Arizona, whose harsh desert terrains have caused a 20-fold increase in illegal immigrant deaths. “It’s clear that recent security build-ups are not deterring illegal immigrants from trying to cross,â€? Raquel Rubio-Goldsmith of the University of Arizona at Tucson said. “They are simply attempting riskier crossings.â€? • Global warming makes it harder for hurricanes to form, according to researchers. Gabriel A. Vecchi, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, explained that warmer water increases vertical wind shear, or wind speed changes at different altitudes, over the tropical Atlantic and eastern Pacific oceans that can weaken hurricanes.

Dear Cecil, It’s widely believed that when one spouse dies the other tends to die sooner than he/she would otherwise. While this is plausible, I have a hunch it’s one of those beliefs — like the disproportionate number of babies supposedly born nine months after a blackout, or toilet flushing during Super Bowl halftime emptying a city’s water supply — that’s nifty but untrue. So tell me, if (say) a 70-year-old man dies, is his wife likely to die sooner than she would if the old guy lived? Ste, via email Hold on, ace. While Super Bowl bathroom breaks have never been shown to play havoc with a town’s H2O, the “super flush effect� is real: As we’ve previously established, New York City occasionally experiences water-supply surges due to pressure drops during or after popular telecasts, most notably the two-and-a-half-hour “M*A*S*H� finale in 1983. Likewise, dying of grief isn’t merely romantic legend but a well-documented phenomenon, verified in a range of studies over the last 20 or 30 years in several countries. For this you can thank actuaries, who’ll stop at nothing to “substitute facts for appearances and demonstrations for impressions,� a pithy line from John Ruskin that the Society of Actuaries has adopted as its motto, and a fair description of our theory of operation at the Straight Dope. Analyzing spouse deaths is a straightforward exercise in data mining, the data in this case usually being the mortality info collected by insurance companies. Most studies compare the death rate for a group of widows/widowers to that of a control group. Generally, the ratio of the two death rates is around 1.4 — that is, all else being equal, 140 widowed persons die compared to 100 non-widowed. A different approach used by Heekyung Youn and Arkady Shemyakin analyzed data over a five-year period from joint and last-survivor annuities (where payments are made so long as at least one partner is still alive). If the deaths of spouses are independent, the probability of both dying should be basically the male death rate for that demographic times the female death rate. In fact, it’s not: the incidence of both spouses dying is roughly four times what you’d expect. In short, while the magnitude of the risk varies with the methodology, there’s ample evidence that widows/widowers exhibit what actuaries call “excess mortality.� Death rates are highest within six months after bereavement and continue high for about three years. Bereavement produces higher mortality among widowers than widows, and among younger ages than older (although the age differences aren’t always significant). Socioeconomic status doesn’t seem to matter. Most experts agree there are three main reasons for this phenomenon, although the statistics don’t tell you which is most important:

t. Patrick’s Day was over a month ago, so how did I end up with a leprechaun riding shotgun in my taxi? Well, maybe not an authentic Irish elf, but a short, good-looking man with a perfect red goatee and, yes, twinkling eyes direct from Central Casting. We were en route to Hinesburg, historically a dicey proposition for me. For some unearthly reason, it seems like, through the years, every one of my fares to H-town has gone haywire in some way or another. Noshows, runners, drunks who’ve forgotten where they live — all manner of hackie vexation awaited me down Route 116. But Live by superstition, die by superstition, I admonished myself. Despite a nagging trepidation, I motored along Hinesburg Road — damn the torpedoes; full speed ahead! “So, how do you like living in Hinesburg?” I initiated the conversation. “I love it down here,” he replied. “I actually grew up in town, so I got, you know, deep roots.” “You get up to Burlington much?”
Through the years, every one of my fares to H-town has gone haywire in some way or another. No-shows, runners, drunks who’ve forgotten where they live — all manner of hackie vexation. My customer scratched his nifty little beard and chuckled. He said, “Not so much as I used to, that’s for sure. I graduated from Johnson State a few years ago, and now I’m a legitimate citizen with a real job, the whole nine yards. I think my late-night partying days are numbered, to tell you the truth.” His reply didn’t surprise me. The man did not have the demeanor of an inveterate bar-hopper. For one obvious thing, he was sober. But, more subtly, he appeared to be genuinely at peace with himself. Folks who are driven to prowl the downtown clubs — weekend after weekend, year after year — are not so self-contained. Rather, they’re searching. Unfortunately, and at times tragically, what they’re searching for is rarely, if ever, found in a nightclub. “A legitimate citizen, huh?” I kept it going. “What did you study at school?” “Well, I got my teaching certification at Johnson, but before then I was at another college studying for a career in forestry. Around about my sophomore year, I started doing some research and discovered just how hard it is to land a job in that field. That’s when I transferred to Johnson. I’m now in my second year teaching at CVU.” “Well,” I said, “that does sound entirely legitimate. How do you like it?” “I love it! Every day I wake up just looking forward to getting in front of the class.
5/1/07 4:51:49 PM
It’s awesome teaching these kids at CVU. And the community fully supports the school, and you know how much that means.” “You don’t regret giving up a potential Feline Veterinary Hospital career in forestry?” and Boarding Suites “Nope, not at all. I do love getting out in nature and all that. But it turns out that it’s more fulfilling being with teenagers all day than trees. So it was, like, the best decision I ever made.” We came to the Hinesburg traffic light, COMING SOON and my customer had me take the left TO WILLISTON toward CVU. What a boon for his students, I thought, to have a teacher so enthusiastic about the job. I can’t remember a single teacher of that ilk during my four years in high school — although, it must be said, I Our all-cat clinic offers a wasn’t exactly an enthusiastic student. Just gentle, tender and quiet then it occurred to me: Maybe it was this atmosphere for all your cat’s customer’s positive energy, but I hadn’t medical and dental needs. given a moment’s thought to the Hinesburg Hex since we’d started talking. “What about the money?” I asked, tact 2 locations for your convenience: never my strong point. “Teachers don’t Williston: 60 Commerce St. Williston, VT make a heck of a lot, I gather.” Charlotte: 1689 Church Hill Rd.

You know, I www.affectionatelycats.com actually make more, like, per hour, with the house painting than the teaching, so that For more information or directions says something.” We scooted past the high school and eventually onto the Pond Road. He had me stop at a modest ranch home with a couple of cars in the driveway. It looked like a 2x6-AffectionatelyCats050207.ind1 1 5/1/07 11:56:21 AM roommate situation. “Well, this must work nice,” I said. “You’re just a short drive to work.” “Yup, it’s great.” He counted out the fare Sometimes doesn’t require an airplane and palm trees. and passed it to me. “I get up, shower, chow down my muffin and coffee, and 10 minutes later I’m strolling through the school doors.” Available Through June 29th! “OK, then — thanks for the good tip,” I said, “and thanks for being a teacher.

As I made my leisurely way back to Burlington, I was still undecided about the Lodging and a full breakfast for two people: Only $85 magical status of the man I’d just dropped Sunday – Thursday Now Until May 31st. off. My overactive imagination often gets the best of me. I’ve been known to conjure sprites out of perfectly normal-looking customers. A sharp little red goatee will do that to me. That said, I couldn’t deny that the teacher had, in a fashion, delivered a pot of gold: My string of bum fares to Hinesburg had definitely been broken, and maybe for good. Knock on wood. �

VERMONTERS ON THE JOB
Sharin’ Stone
A NAME JOB LOCATION

nita Socinski rocks the world of high-end countertops, fireplaces, backsplashes and vanities through A&M Stoneworks, a custom-carving business she founded in 1996. (The “M” was a business partner who’s no longer involved.) The Colchester resident has stone in her bones: She grew up around Densmore Monument, a South Burlington shop long managed by her family, and where she Anita Socinski learned the trade. Now Socinski is Stonecutter and owner, A& M Stoneworks one of few women in the stonecutColchester ting field, one that demands 50hour work weeks handling 1000pound slabs of stone with her employees, Steve Perron and James Cicaloni. As a business owner and a single mom who raised two sons, now 20 and 16, Socinski has little free time for the Adirondack guide boat she’s building, the house she’s remodeling in Colchester, or the mountains she loves to climb. But custom installations mean she can escape the daily grind for travels around Vermont and New Hampshire. Recently, Socinski carved out a few moments to speak with Seven Days about stonecutting at her showroom in Colchester’s Creek Farm Plaza. SEVEN DAYS: I understand you were sort of introduced to the family business at age 7 — can you tell me more about that? ANITA SOCINSKI: My dad had to go out to cemeteries to get a rubbing, because people would have a family plot. He’d go out and check the lettering that was previously done. I was young, and it always seemed like we were out there in the middle of the night. It was dark and there was thunder and lightning and we had the radio on, and I’d be in [the car] by myself while he ran out to get the rubbing. It was like a ghost story. It was scary. SD: So I guess that didn’t turn you off from the stone business. Did you always know this is what you wanted to do? AS: I didn’t, actually. You want to see what else is out there. I worked for Electronic Data Systems and I was the mailroom supervisor, managing people; that worked out pretty good, I worked there for five or six years. Then I decided to start working at the medical center hospital, as a secretary, and I wanted to be a nurse, but I had a child and it was hard to go to school and take care of the child.
SD: You’re one of the only women in the field — what’s that like? AS: You know, the guy contractors that I meet are very supportive and very . . . I don’t want to say in awe, but they kind of are. They’re happy to have me there and want to see me succeed. If they see any woman that’s working hard, they’re going to respect them. I do exactly what they want, when they want it, and that’s the way it’s always been. And women are capable of it. It’s very interesting work. SD: What are the appeals of your job? AS: Working with a natural product made by the earth, and seeing how it reacts to things it comes up against. Every stone has a different hardness and density. SD: Where does the stone come from? AS: All over the world. Every country has probably seven different kinds. From Vermont, we have Danby white marble — I like that. It seems like people are looking for Vermont products, and they’ve shied away from marble because it’s very soft, but it’s as dense as some granites are.
SD: What’s the most popular stone? AS: Soapstone, and marbles are coming back around. Soapstone’s gotten a lot of publicity. Martha Stewart had it on her show, and it’s been on “This Old House.” It’s just a really nice thing to have, and it captures the feeling of an old country farmhouse. SD: How do most people find you? AS: Through their contractor. I have probably 15 high-end contractors that I work with, who have some multi-million-dollar projects going at a glacial pace. I might know about the project two years in advance. SD: So what’s a typical day like? AS: I try to be here four days a week and then go install. I’m gathering information from the contractors and ordering materials for the job, which is time-consuming. SD: What about the physical demands? Do you have to be very strong? Do you have to work out for work? AS: You have to be strong, yeah. But I get a lot of repetition here from picking up pieces every day. I can be on the end of a counter that weighs 300 pounds. But I know how to lift, and the other person has to know how to lift. You can hurt yourself pretty badly. But I’ve got all my fingers. SD: What are the hot areas for stone right now? AS: Kitchens, bathrooms, fireplaces, shelves around the kitchen, backsplashes. SD: What’s the most expensive stone? AS: There’s a manmade stone, it’s about $300 a square foot. But natural — I’d say the blue pearl, which is shimmery and has a lot of different flecks of color. SD: Do you have to counsel against certain types of stone?
AS: Yeah. An example would be polished marble on a countertop. Some marbles hold up in a bathroom, like the Vermont Danby white, but others will get water spots, so I recommend people hone it, which means just taking off the high polish. SD: What’s the most unusual project that you’ve done? AS: We did a staircase out of limestone. All of it came from Belgium, and some of the pieces didn’t come in quite right, and everything had to be flush. That was a memorable one. SD: Seasonally, does the pace change? AS: Oh, yeah. And in the last 11 years, I’ve never had a slowdown like I had this year in January and February. Just after Christmas I was ready to start on a job and they put the brakes on, so I was without something to do for a couple of months. I didn’t know what was going to happen, with the economy and the war. Nobody wanted to spend money. It was weird. SD: Do your kids have an interest in following in your footsteps? AS: They do. I’m telling them to see what else is out there beforehand. It can be OK. It can be stressful. You really have to be an organized person and have the confidence to project that you can do it. SD: And what are the benefits of stone over another material? AS: It’s a good feeling to know that — since we’re environmentally conscious — you’re doing something that’s not harming the environment. It doesn’t take a whole lot to get the stone. It’s a lot of people hours, but it’s not harming the environment to get it out of the earth. And it lasts forever.

Six Degrees of Separating
I
always assumed that I would die in Burlington. Sometimes during idle moments I’d find myself daydreaming about my own funeral, running through a roster of possible guests: friends and STORY neighbors, synagogue members, political RUTH allies and adversaries, colleagues from my HOROWITZ work and my husband’s. I wasn’t so much being morbid — well, OK, maybe there IMAGES was that, too — as I was expressing satisMATTHEW faction at being so deeply rooted in this THORSEN community; acknowledging how assuredly this place has become my home. And that’s a great thing, because as homes go, it doesn’t get much better than here. Where else can you walk beside water as lovely as Lake Champlain? Pick snow peas and strawberries within a five-minute drive of first-class restaurants and a concert hall that brings in the likes of Sonny Rollins
and Anoushka Shankar? In what other U.S. city do the major political battles pitch progressive Democrats against progressive Progressives? Twenty years ago, we woke after our first snowfall here anticipating hours of shoveling, only to realize that city plows had already cleared the sidewalk. I thought, “We have moved to heaven.� Today, I’m not just enchanted but entrenched. So much so that as recently as last fall, I couldn’t imagine ever leaving of my own volition. But as it turns out, I’m doing just that. This summer, I’ll relocate with my family to Providence, Rhode Island, where my husband will be teaching at Brown University. When a friend heard the news the other day, he asked, “What are you, nuts?� I’ve been wondering the same thing myself.

We came to Burlington in 1987 from Los Angeles. David was a freshly minted PhD in philosophy, poised to begin teaching at UVM. I was an aspiring writer with a 2-year-old daughter and a second child in gestation. We settled into a raised ranch in the suburban New North End and quickly made friends with the other young families on the block. In small-town, open-government Vermont, personal connections can easily slide into civic involvement. At least, that’s how it worked for me. Concerns about apartments proposed for the woods behind our house led me to my Neighborhood Planning Assembly. An obsession with reading to my kids turned into a seat on the Library Commission. In 1993, I ran for City Council. I lost the election — and discovered a downside of chummy communities. In the course of the campaign, I met scores of my fellow New North Enders, and carefully compiled a roster of assumed allies and adversaries. Many Town Meeting Days later, I still couldn’t bring myself to buy gas from the station owner who’d refused my campaign sign and posted my rival’s.

It came down to a choice between kicking back and staying comfortable and kicking it up a notch and trying something new. Hearing the name of one of my kids’ classmates, I would note the child’s parents’ political persuasion. Not all these associations were negative. My brief political career actually netted me many more personal friends than foes. But the us-versusthem mindset soon felt like a burden. I longed to live more anonymously. I also wanted a house that looked more like the one I’d grown up in. This desire deepened after my parents died: my father at age 69 and my mother four years later, at 71. After her death, my siblings and I sold the 100-year-old Victorian in New Jersey that had been our family home since I was a baby. Although I hadn’t lived there since high school, I still set my compass by the place. The string of addresses I’d occupied since had all felt provisional and insubstantial. Without that house to go home to, I wasn’t just orphaned, but anchor-less. It was hardly a coincidence that, not long after my mother’s death, David and I began to consider trading our “Leave It to Beaver” raised ranch for an older home closer to downtown. It wasn’t just the architecture we were after. With our kids now in their teens, being close to Church Street held more appeal than living on a cul-de-sac of connected backyards filled with ready playmates. David would be able to walk to work, and I could stroll to my synagogue, where I had found a comforting spiritual home since losing my parents.

The home I have made for myself in Vermont as an adult has decisively replaced the one in New Jersey I was provided as a child. Once we’d settled on our target location, we crafted a letter in which we described our worthy family and expressed our desire to live on the recipient’s wonderful street. Then we sent our missive to the owners of 13 specific houses. Nine months later we got a call from a couple. They had saved our letter all this time. Were we still interested? We were. It’s a great old house with quirky charm: a staircase to nowhere; walls with rounded corners; trippy, old-lady wallpaper in the living room. In the seven years since we moved in, we’ve gradually made it our own. We tarted up the outside with five custom colors, planted bulbs in the backyard and, for David’s 50th birthday, restored the wainscoted dining room. We also filled my grandmother’s antique plant stand with Mardi Gras beads, and displayed my collection of disembodied doll parts. Among the pluses of the place was a south-facing bedroom I claimed as my office. While the rest of the family was at school and work, I sat at my sunny desk writing stories for Seven Days. A year later, I gave up my freelance status for an editing position. The work connected me with still more people, from cavers to classical composers to the entomologist who turned me on to hissing Madagascar cockroaches. The paper also gave me a forum for
writing about myself, and I got used to meeting people who already knew intimate details about my life: how I lost weight, or managed my intermarriage, or taught my daughter to drive. I thrived on the attention, and the collegiality of the office. Maybe anonymity wasn’t what I wanted, after all. David wasn’t looking to leave UVM. But when he got a call asking if he’d be interested in teaching at Brown, the pitch was too good to ignore. There was the allure of the school, which promised a cushy job with great colleagues and students plus it had the added appeal of having rejected David when he’d applied as an undergraduate. There was the reputation of Rhode Island: miles of coastline, high restaurant-to-resident ratio, bluest state in the Union. And there was also us. Now that our offspring were basically launched, we could begin to imagine launching ourselves. For years, we’d watched friends take sabbaticals in exotic locations while David used his to concentrate on his research — at home. The thought of temporarily uprooting all four of us didn’t seem worth the bother. Especially when we were so content here. But we’d started to fantasize about spending his upcoming year off — when both kids would be in college — someplace new. We’d get a break
from our routine, then return to where we belonged. Brown presented the possibility of simply . . . going. The thought left me dizzy with exhilaration. And terror. An elaborate crisscross of connections tied me securely to Burlington. Did I dare cut myself loose? All the details of my daily life suddenly took on an air of hyper-reality, each one achingly precious and irreplaceable. The sweetness of a sunwarmed tomato eaten from the vine in the Intervale. The rumble of snow sliding off our slate roof. The rush of standing at the front of the synagogue on High Holidays and leading 200 people in prayer. The satisfaction and fun of working at Seven Days. The happy discovery that the helpful employee in the hardware store went to kindergarten with my son. The fact that I can’t walk between my house and downtown without encountering at least one personal acquaintance — and usually more. This business of always running into people reminded me of how it used to be when I shopped with my mother. After 40 years, she couldn’t navigate the frozen-foods section of her local A&P without stopping to chat half a dozen times. “This is why I can never leave,� she’d comment to me; by then she’d

retired and been widowed, and still rejected the idea of relocating. Coming across my third familiar face between the produce area and the bulk spices in City Market, I’d remember my mother’s mantra. It had always sounded like the voice of my conscience — an admonition that once you’ve found your perfect place, the only prudent response is to stay put. But now that I was considering doing the opposite, her words suggested something different. They reminded me that the home I have made for myself in Vermont as an adult has decisively replaced the one in New Jersey I was provided as a child. And, just as I have been able to establish myself in a hometown that’s not my mother’s, perhaps it’s also possible for me to interpret “home� differently from the way she did. I’d always heard her line as prescriptive, a lesson in how I should live. But maybe it was simply descriptive — an obser-
What would it be like to start from scratch in a place where no one knew the first thing about me? Where I could redefine myself, free from anyone’s expectations? To begin a brandnew chapter? The answer was easy: It would be pretty damned fine. Just because Burlington is a perfect place for us to live, that doesn’t mean it’s the only perfect place. And where is it written that in the course of a lifetime, each person gets to experience just one version of heaven? “It’s like when you go on vacation,� David suggested when I told him what I’d been thinking. “If you visit more than one place, you feel like you’ve been away a longer time.� It came down to a choice between kicking back and staying comfortable and kicking it up a notch and trying something new. We chose the latter. Once we’d decided, things fell into place. After Seven Days columnist Peter Freyne

The realization hit me one day when I was walking downtown and scanning passersby for acquaintances. Between my house and Church Street, I counted seven. And I didn’t just identify them by name. I also ran through my mental file on each one, reviewing everything I knew about them and the complex webs of association linking them to other people, whose info was also stored in my head. As I exchanged greetings with the sales clerk at Macy’s, I silently noted that she’s the mother of the boss of the son-in-law of my co-worker’s neurologist.

Buzz Kill? Life is sweet for Vermont’s pollinators, but their party days may be numbered
A
bout half a mile down the road from Shelburne Orchards, in a clearing bordered by sumacs and white birches, James Gabriel and Ian Hagan hold their breath. It’s a sleepy STORY Wednesday afternoon in late April, MIKE and these beekeepers have driven up IVES from Champlain Valley Apiaries in Middlebury for a routine inspection IMAGES of 36 colonies. A few yards off, maple MATTHEW trees — like the good pollen givers THORSEN they are — prepare to bud. But despite the postcard charm of today’s outing, something is rotten in the world of bees, and no one knows why. That’s putting it mildly. Agricultural specialists from coast to coast have been worrying since the early 1990s about a spiteful little bee parasite called the Varroa mite. But this year, they’re totally freaked out over a mysterious blight called “Colony Collapse Disorder.” The virus — CCD for short — has killed about a quarter of America’s honeybee population since 2006; its potential effect on the world’s food supply could be catastrophic. “People can live without honey, but they can’t live without bees,” Gabriel asserts, as he unloads some stray gear from his truck. Approximately three-quarters of the world’s flowering plants require pollinators to assist with their plant mojo. This includes legumes, nuts, veggies and fruit. Bees are responsible for safeguarding the sex lives of such major cash crops in Vermont as apples,
blueberries and pumpkins. The art of beekeeping is about as old a practice as anyone can remember. “They stored honey in Egyptian tombs for 3000 years, and it was still good,” Gabriel points out, as he touches a match to a cluster of dried grass — the smoker he’ll use to fend off stings while peeking into the hives. Gabriel, 45, is something of a throwback, himself: Tall and regal, with a tucked-in white shirt, sandy hair and three-days’ beard, he resembles the English missionary in lowbudget Technicolor film adaptations of E.M. Forster novels. His assistant, on the other hand, is straight off the set of a Spike Lee “Joint”: Hagan, 21, sports a metal chain, a black baseball cap and an urban swagger. In a choreographed one-two routine, this odd couple begins to pry open the bee boxes, or “supers.” As Gabriel fans smoke into the colonies, Hagan pulls out frames full of honeycombs. The frames themselves are low-tech, science-fair-ish exoskeletons — and they’re crawling with surrealist armies of restless, twittering bees. All buzzing gets corralled and distorted by the honeycombs’ inner chambers, so that you might think the humming was coming from a gang of congested Gregorian monks. Hagan turns each comb over to inspect larvae for signs of disease. “Watch out!” Gabriel warns him at one point. “This one’s jumpy!” Jumpy is good for business.
JAMES GABRIEL OF CHAMPLAIN VALLEY APIARIES
SEVEN DAYS | may 02-09, 2007 | feature 33A According to Gabriel, 27 of the 36 colonies in this field have survived the winter, with no sign of CCD. That’s not bad, considering that some migratory beekeepers in other states have reported losses of as much as 90 percent. “Twenty-five percent loss?” Gabriel asks rhetorically. “I’ll take it.” To a layman’s eye, bees may look like simpletons. But these pea-sized insects enact a “drama on a small scale,” Gabriel says. In every colony, he explains, worker bees (all of them women — go figure) select one sterile female egg for queenhood. They feed this proto-ruler “royal jelly” to soup up her sex organs — reproductive apparati Gabriel likens to a “rather complicated set of plumbing.” Once mature, he continues, “The virgin queen comes forth” by flying out of the hive. A horde of male suitors, or “drones,” buzzes after her in lusty pursuit. Finally, between six and 25 of the most macho dudes inseminate the queen with up to 8 million sperm, all in the midst of a “singles’ bar” frenzy.
California and Florida, according to Gabriel, it’s not uncommon for beekeepers to manage 20,000 or 30,000 colonies. State apiculturist Steve Parise confirms that out of 10 major commercial keepers statewide, only two import their bees from out of state. The practice may be shortsighted, but Gabriel suggests it’s “more a statement on the piss-poor price of honey” than anything else. Almond growers in California, he notes, pay $150 per colony for pollinator bees. By contrast, Shelburne Orchards pays $35. Like Vermont’s dairy industry, beekeeping has become increasingly less profitable in recent decades, especially for small commercial producers who don’t benefit from economies of scale. Mike Palmer, president of the Vermont Beekeepers’ Association, bemoans the fact that wholesale bee prices have increased sevenfold since the mid-1970s, while the retail value of honey hasn’t even doubled. A recent British study suggests — don’t laugh — that cellphones are to blame for the pollinator crisis. Apparently, cellie

Agricultural specialists are totally freaked out over a mysterious blight called “Colony Collapse Disorder.” “It’s like Greek drama, man,” Gabriel suggests. But for all its dramatic pretensions, the bee mating process seems to have more in common with Tony Soprano than with, say, Sophocles. The self-same ritual, after all, is also fraught with HBOcaliber domestic quibbling, not to mention gratuitous violence. Hagan suggests, for example, that drones are lazy, at least compared to the workers; he likens their honey supply to a “fridge.” Gabriel compares a colony full of drones to “a house full of guys that don’t work.” And the lucky ones who score with Queenie? Their penises are ripped off in the act of lovemaking. Ouch.

But what about the threat of CCD? Though the virus has been reported in about half of American states since 2006, Vermont honey-makers appear to be immune — at least for now. How come? One factor in Vermont’s favor may be farming practices. In recent months, some scientists have proposed that the disorder stems from use of “neonicotinoids” — a type of pesticide commonly sprayed on crops such as corn, soybeans and cotton. Area agriculturists don’t use it. Kirk Webster of Middlebury, considered by area buzz-o-philes one of the most innovative bee breeders in New England, if not the world, takes it a step further. In an age of ubiquitous pesticides, the bearded bee mystic raises nucleus colonies and queens chemical-free. “Kirk deserves a place in the hall of fame for beekeeping,” Gabriel says. Others theorize that CCD is brought on by fatigue and stress: Since the advent of the Interstate, more and more beekeepers have begun trucking their colonies across the country, a practice that weakens the bees’ resistance to viruses. But most of Vermont’s honey-makers are homebodies. Gabriel’s boss, Bill Mraz, is one of the biggest honey czars around — Champlain Valley Apiaries maintains 1300 of a statewide 9500 colonies. But on a national scale, that’s small potatoes. In places like

radiation could be interfering with bee navigation faculties. Gabriel says he’s “leaning” toward the neonicotinoid theory. “But not having all the evidence, I can’t say,” he cautions. And cellphones? “If it’s something like cellphones, we’re done,” he admits with a laugh. “If someone told me cellphones had to go, I’d say, ‘Right on!’ But we’re not gonna stop cellphones, for better or worse.” For all Vermonters’ best efforts to prevent it, CCD may very well infiltrate the state anyway.

Bees are responsible for safeguarding the sex lives of such major cash crops in Vermont as apples, blueberries and pumpkins. here as early as next year. If CCD isn’t trucked in by Vermont’s two traveling beesters, it could hitch a ride over with migratory colonies from New York, New Hampshire or Canada. “In Vermont, people are little more progressive,� Gabriel comments, emphasizing that Vermont beekeepers tend to keep it local and organic whenever possible. But he adds wryly, “You can’t keep the nation out.� Costs and biology aside, this time-tested practice may be petering out — an average American beekeeper is 55. The work isn’t always sweet: Gabriel and Hagan say they’ve suffered as many as 40 stings in a single onslaught. And when apple bloom starts at Shelburne
Orchards next month, they’ll have to load these bees onto their pickup truck at 3 a.m. Still, the job isn’t a chore by any stretch. As this afternoon winds down, it’s clear from the way the men interact with their colonies that they’re following a higher calling. During a break in the action, Gabriel observes, “We get a bees-eye view . . . They allow us to connect with the natural world in a way that most people wouldn’t be able to.� Later, when a bee flies into his glasses, he swats it away nonchalantly. After all the colonies have been inspected, Gabriel and Hagan bundle up extra crates with a length of twine. They’ll re-use abandoned honeycombs as breeding sites for fresh
colonies, Hagan explains. Overhead, sunshine dips into Lake Champlain, and the birches sparkle. “The bees are a metaphor for everything that goes on around you,� Gabriel reflects. “When the bees are sick, the world is sick.� The world gets hungry, too. The average American consumes about 19 pounds of apples every year — thanks largely to bees. So if bees dropped the ball in Vermont? Shepherd’s pie for the Fourth of July. It’s no surprise that at Champlain Valley bees get a 10-day, all-access VIP pass to Shelburne Orchards every spring.

On a recent Thursday morning in Shelburne, orchardist Nick Cowles putters around on a vintage, baby-blue Ford tractor. It’s just warm enough for short sleeves: In a few weeks, acres of apple blossoms will open on orchards across the state, and bees will carry pollen from (male) “stamens” to (female) “pistils,” consummating the annual regeneration of Vermont’s approximately $20-million-peryear flagship fruit crop. Every apple ovary consists of five
shimmers on the horizon in kaleidoscopes of blue and gray. It’s almost as if Cowles and his trees have traveled back in time. Indeed, the guy resembles a kind of timeless, bucolic wizard — equal parts granger, hippie and hobbit. His stubbly face looks gnarled but handsome. A graying mane of hair blows in the breeze behind him. When Cowles smiles, his eyes twinkle. Today’s task? Digging holes with the frightening, 4-foot metal drill that dangles behind
friends. Which, as it turns out, they are: His father started leasing bees from Bill Mraz’s father, Charles, as early as the 1950s. Back then, Shelburne Orchards had 800 trees. Today it boasts 6000 — and the relationship between the two families is still healthy. “Whatever [Bill Mraz] is doing down there [in Middlebury], he’s doing a good job!” Cowles shouts. “His hives are really strong!” On the surface, Cowles is the kind of guy who doesn’t seem to

In other words, there’s a lot riding on a tiny bee’s itty-bitty shoulders. This time of year, Cowles’ orchard looks like a watercolorist’s wet dream. Rows and rows of craggy, hundred-year-old Macintoshes stand around like cantankerous old men. A few horses neigh beside a weeping willow. And Lake Champlain
his tractor. Every minute or so, Cowles stops his machine and churns up a chunk of earth. A farmhand lopes along behind the tractor, sticking baby trees into freshly dug holes. Cowles shifts the Ford into neutral. “I get so pumped every year when the orchard goes into blossom!” he yells over the motor’s roar. “It really is like a renewal! If there weren’t blossoms, there’d be no potential for a big harvest! And that would be depressing!” This apple buff discusses bees casually, as if they were his old
be worried about all that much. But even he admits, “If there’s a problem with our pollinators, it’s going to affect way more than apples!” The wizard takes a deep breath, pops the clutch again, and squints. “This is my business,” he confides. “But everybody eats.” � Got a comment on this story or a suggestion for another one?

through the clients’ houses as quickly as possible. Forget deep cleaning; all that mattered was a sparkly countertop. And think of what that sparkle could be hiding. Some years ago, I read a “Straight Dope� column that’s haunted me ever since. In it, author Cecil Adams profiles microbiologist Charles Gerba, who studies the levels of bacteria in ordinary households. Not only is the average sink filthier than the average toilet, we learn, but careless cleaning is worse than none at all: “Single men tended to have lower bacteria counts, since they never cleaned and thus didn’t spread the crud around,� he writes.

to do? To get a perspective on the cleaning conundrum, I turned to someone who tidies up for a living and is his own boss. That’s right — his. When you think of a house cleaner, you tend to imagine an older woman with creaky joints, or maybe Jennifer Aniston donning a French maid’s outfit in the movie Friends With Money. You probably don’t picture someone like Cory Woolsey, 49, who has intense blue eyes, a neatly cropped black beard and an earring. He also has a compact build and muscular arms, which probably came in handy during his previous, 15-year career battling wildfires in Oregon. “Firefighting, I used

Woolsey’s girlfriend, Mindy Kimball, 39, started the service 16 years ago in Oregon. In 1995, the couple began cleaning together. In 2004, they brought the business to Burlington, where Kimball ultimately quit to become a

hair stylist; Woolsey is now the sole owner. I ask Woolsey to come to my house and assess its cleanliness, or lack thereof — in short, angling for a free consultation. No dice: He’s too booked to eyeball my house on short notice. Instead, he asks me to drop by his place on his day off. Woolsey and Kimball share a trim home in the Old North End. My attempt to assess the cleaner’s cleanliness is foiled by the sheer visual interest of the living room. The walls are painted aqua and tangerine and covered with artwork, including two striking banners from Bread and Puppet. “We both like to do a lot of art,� says Woolsey, who
used to make and sell jewelry out West. Right now, I’m more interested in his artistry with a broom. But when it comes to his tricks of the trade, Woolsey isn’t revealing a thing. “Can’t give out my secrets!� he says. While he won’t tell me how to clean my house, he will describe in very general terms how he’d do it. Woolsey usually visits each house every other week and sees a couple of clients a day. Once inside, “I start at the farthest part of the house and work towards the doorway,� he says. “I have to clean the whole, entire house from top to bottom in two hours. So it’s a race. Then I go to the next
house, start all over again.� It adds up to a 35- to 40-hour week. “I’m trying to work up to three [houses] a day,� Woolsey says, “but it really takes a lot of energy. You’re like a tornado in there.� A careful tornado. Woolsey enumerates his tasks: “The kitchen is spotless, all the appliances, the bathroom, the tubs, the sinks, the mirrors, the vacuuming, the floor, making beds, the toilets, the stairway. Then you gotta dust knick-knacks and such. You’re working really fast, and you’ve got to slow yourself down to a pace where you’re not gonna break things.� Woolsey doesn’t want to go >> 42A

on record with his rates, which vary with the size of the house. Not every home needs the same level of cleaning, either, and Woolsey says he’s flexible. “I’ve got some clients, their houses are spotless, and they just want everything scrubbed down. Other people, they have a hectic lifestyle, you might say, and they just want to leave the house and come back and have it clean.� His clients run the gamut “from people in Charlotte with $800,000 houses — immaculate, beautiful places — to single college students who don’t seem to have much money at all,� Woolsey says. “I got therapists, I got [Vermont] House representative people, I got people in the arts community here, I got people who work in the justice department.� As far as he can tell, “It doesn’t seem to be their social status or whatever� that makes people decide to hire a cleaner.
been bleached and everything else, on top of drinking the water that’s been bleached, then you have no immune system, and you’re gonna be sick.� Woolsey prefers milder, Earthfriendly products, though he uses stronger ones when clients request them. When he can, he helps clients recycle. What about the corporate maid services? Not surprisingly, Woolsey isn’t a fan of his competition. “I’m very busy, and I could just as easily hire three or four people,� he says. “But I can’t find anybody honest enough to clean house, and hardworking enough to get the job done, and anal enough to pay attention to the details at the same time. You gotta have all three.� Woolsey also explains why chronically curious reporters probably wouldn’t make the best professional cleaners. Far from sharing hair-raising anecdotes about dirty houses, he

The one constant, Woolsey says, is that he’s always hired by women. Married or single, these aren’t desperate housewives, he adds: “They’re not sitting around the house waiting for me to clean ’cause they’re on the couch. These women work; they work hard, and most of them got kids.� Do women mind hiring a guy for what’s traditionally women’s work? Not around here, Woolsey says: “We started the business on the West Coast. They’re more liberal out there in the West, but they seemed to think it was odd to have a male housekeeper. Out here on the East Coast, it’s a little more conservative, but I’ve never had anybody say anything to me.� He’s never met another man in the business. “I like to think it gives me an edge,� he suggests. Still haunted by the sink-astoilet comparison, I broach the subject of germs. Woolsey isn’t of the douse-everything-inbleach school. “You don’t want to disinfect your house; that’s bad for your immune system,� he says. “You need to have something to fight against to build it. It’s like the hair of the dog that bit you. If you’re living in a sterilized house that has
takes his clients’ privacy seriously enough to compare his role in their lives to that of a doctor. “You see something weird in someone’s house, it just doesn’t affect you,� he explains. “It’s not personal. Somebody naturally interested in what other people do, they probably couldn’t do that for a living. You’re going to a different house every couple hours, and you’d be overwhelmed. You wouldn’t be able to get anything done.� Woolsey thinks a lot about housecleaning — in fact, he came prepared for our meeting with notes written on index cards. “Housecleaning is good, hard, honest work, if you don’t mind getting up close and personal with people’s toilets,� one reads. Another: “When I go into someone’s house, I like to imagine that just anything that might be lying around might be their family heirloom.� The metaphor Woolsey likes to use to describe cleaning is Disneyesque: “You imagine fairies have been in there: Glitter, poof, the house is clean,� he says. It’s the image evoked on Whishbroom’s homemade business cards, which show a broom stirring up dust that becomes

tiny stars. Kimball designed the name and concept, which Woolsey sees as a good-luck talisman for the business: “She kind of, like, called the spirits and came up with this magical name, Whishbroom. It works like magic every time.” Kimball joins the conversation. With her cropped leather jacket and hip, ’80s-inspired hairstyle, it’s no surprise that she works at Burlington’s upscale salon Indigo. When do people know it’s time to hire a housecleaner? I ask, still fishing for guidance about my own predicament. “When they feel like they want to treat themselves, because they deserve it,” Woolsey answers. Kimball adds, “Or when you start being in a grumpy mood every day, and you’re complaining about the clutter in your house.” “Or you work too hard,” Woolsey picks up the tune. “After working all day, you want to come home and clean your house? Not really!” These two really know how to sell. And according to Woolsey, what they sell in their now-separate careers is pretty similar. “We’re both like therapists,” he says. “She cuts people’s hair, I clean their house, and both jobs are just like therapy for people.” He has a point. Viewed as a battle against germs, housework is a grim prospect at best, full of difficult choices like the one between using toxic chemicals and worrying about food poisoning. But on the macro level, there’s something intrinsically pleasant about coming home to a vacuumed floor or a neatly organized basement. Somehow the order outside puts things in order inside your head, too. Do you have to do the chores yourself to feel the satisfaction, or can a professional cleaning elf offer it to you? I’m curious, and Woolsey’s rates sound reasonable. But for now, until I get busier — and richer — the ascetic in me wins out. I remember my Swiss German grandmother, who used to come to my divorced dad’s house and promptly start wiping down cabinets. True, I barely even saw the dirty fingerprints she was attacking, much less cared. But when it comes to controlling your space and imposing your vision, I get where Grandma was coming from. Plus, after a day at the desk, some sweating feels good. Woolsey reminds me of another benefit of DIY cleaning: It’s cheaper than a gym membership. “Housecleaning, if you do it properly, is the hardest job in the world,” he insists. “But it’s the best aerobic workout you can possibly get.” �

ARTWORK “Trane” by James McGarrell
PHOTO Marc Awodey
t’s unusual for an internationally known, historically important artist to mount a substantial exhibition at a lesser-known, community-based arts center, but that’s exactly what’s happening at Studio Place Arts in Barre. Painter James McGarrell was born in 1930 and now lives in Newbury, Vermont. His illustrious career includes decades of teaching at the university level, winning nearly every major prize and grant available, and appearing in several of the most important exhibitions of the mid- to late 20th century. His SPA show, “Window Jazz Inventions,” unveils new work, demonstrating that McGarrell isn’t content to rest on his laurels or rehash the style of the images that made him famous. McGarrell is one of the few critically informed artists of his generation to reject nonobjective abstraction in favor of figuration. Ironically, his pieces in this exhibition have shifted gears to lose figurative, narrative content. As the show’s title implies, McGarrell is still working with the notion of a “window into space.” But in the works here, space is fractured and inhabited solely by rhythms, textures, lines and various states of pure color. Jazz has proved a popular theme for painters. McGarrell’s four monumental, 60-by-80-inch painterly vistas — “Bird,” “Trane,” “Prez” and “Hawk” — are all named for bebop greats. “Trane,” of course, refers to saxophone legend John Coltrane. Layers of
red-on-red patterning and ornamental brush strokes, especially noticeable in the upper, pale-green areas of the canvas, seem to jostle for attention, while broader foreground swaths of darker color pull into focus the smaller shapes deep in the picture plane. “Prez” was the nickname of another sax great — Lester Young. Like that of “Trane,” its hot-red backdrop seems to glow, though the painting has cooler passages. It also has the most Matisse-like use of patterning. Areas that appear to have been stenciled aren’t. Rather,
inch panels combined horizontally. He calls it a “reversible diptych,” since it works equally well regardless of which side is left and which is right. One of the panels has a broad area of light purple that functions as a window; an abstract doorway appears in the other panel, making the diptych seem like a room interior. Wide, dark brushstrokes act like shadows, falling over the middle of the picture planes. Curator Mark Waskow writes in his statement for the show that there “are a limited number of truly sig-
McGarrell isn’t content to rest on his laurels or rehash the style of the images that made him famous. McGarrell superbly cuts into negative space to sharpen edges where needed, and he scumbles wildly at other intervals. Any painter or observer who understands this surface will no doubt appreciate the “performance.” Not all of McGarrell’s paintings are monumental, but jazz is at the heart of every one. The artist borrowed song titles for most of his smaller pieces. “Easy to Love” is the moniker of a Cole Porter tune reinvented by Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. McGarrell’s version is a pleasing pair of two 16-by-16-
nificant, recognized, world-class artists who create works here in Vermont. I believe that it is important for those who ‘make it’ to come back and show others tangibly that it is possible, that it can be done. It is motivational to the next generation, and it provides credibility to the local institutions.” The James McGarrell show brings plenty of cred to Studio Place Arts. The painter is as virtuosic with his brush as the musicians he hails were with their instruments. m

KEEPING IT REAL The Art Gallery in Stowe currently features 19 landscapes by Jake Geer of Middlebury and 22 pieces by Long Island artist Don Huber. Geer is a realist who faithfully renders the world around him, while Huber favors a slightly more expressionistic way of capturing form. They aren’t exactly opposites, but the two painters do have slightly different, and equally compelling, approaches to the ever-popular theme of landscapes. The show is on view through May 12.

theborowitzreport U.S. Sends Rich Little to Iraq to Entertain Insurgents
A
s part of a bold new strategy to confuse the enemy, the Pentagon announced today that it was sending comedian/impressionist Rich Little to Iraq to entertain the insurgents. While the United States has sent many comedians to Iraq to entertain the troops since the conflict begin there four years ago, Mr. Little’s mission marks the first time that the Pentagon has targeted the insurgents with comedy. But after seeing Mr. Little perform at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday night in Washington, the Pentagon decided that Mr. Little was just the man for the job, and “Operation Little Entertainment” was born. Said one Pentagon planner, “If Rich Little can quiet down Iraq the way he silenced that room Saturday night, we’ll consider this mission a big success.” En route to his first show in Baghdad, Mr. Little was bullish about his mission, polishing his impressions of such dead presidents as Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon. “I’m going to do Nixon, but instead of having him say, ‘I’m not a crook,’ he’ll say ‘I’m not a Kurd,’” Mr. Little chuckled.
After his first performance for the insurgents, whom Mr. Little treated to his spot-on impressions of long-deceased actors like Tyrone Power and Alan Ladd, the new strategy seemed to be paying dividends, with many insurgents on the brink of giving up.
I’m going to do Nixon, but instead of having him say, “I’m not a crook,” he’ll say “I’m not a Kurd.” Mr. Little
“I have had enough,” pleaded insurgent Hassan El-Medfaii, who attended Mr. Little’s show. “Please make the bombing stop.” Elsewhere, in yet another display of prowess with the ladies, Angelina Jolie today left Brad Pitt for World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz.

The Technological Tourist What is Paris without a travel guide? For anyone who calls the City of Lights home, no guide is necessary. Even the frequent traveler will know how to get around without a miniature encyclopedia of places to go, things to do and sites to see. For the rest of us, bring on Frommer’s and Fodor’s. We don’t want to get lost. The authors of The Unofficial Tourists’ Guide to Second Life figured that if you are not one of the 6 million or so visitors and itinerant residents of this expansive virtual world, you need a guide. Even if you’ve dipped into this virtual Wonderland in the past, it might help to have someone point out some of the interesting back alleys and steer you clear of trouble with a little local advice. In a place as big and weird as “Second Life,” it helps to have someone hold your hand and lead you around. Let’s go! For the uninitiated, “SL” works like a giant game of “World of WarCraft,” but with fewer rules. While “WoW” boasts more than 7 million players worldwide paying around $15 a month for the chance to get ahead in the swords-and-sorcery racket, “SL” fills its growing digital real estate with the random thoughts and architectural aspirations of its residents. Where “WoW” lets you live the life of a heroic dwarf, “Second Life” doesn’t mind if you just putter around in a flying car or spend a while remaking your in-game character from a cute rave boy into a towering Amazonian roller-derby queen. In place of goals, objectives and points, “SL” offers tools to let the players build whatever they want. Often that comes in the form of games. It’s just as likely, though, to appear as commerce, frivolity and vice. Spend some time in the “SL” version of Amsterdam, and you’ll discover that the red-light district has taken over. Or slip over to the Vampire Empire for a little gothic amusement. Just need to relax? The guide points you to Luskwood for a chat with a giant, talking bunny. Whether you’re stocking a digital bar in a dingy imaginary nightclub or trying to teach people about psychosis, nothing in the ever-growing grid of places in “SL” will take you far from fun. The guide recognizes this, and its advice focuses firmly on enjoyment. This book shows that the digital age of armchair travel has reached an exotic new destination. Who’s It For: Anyone over 18 is invited into the world of “Second Life.” And with free starter accounts and software for both the Mac and PC, almost anyone will enjoy, or at least remember, a visit to this dreamland.

If You Like This, Try That: If “Second Life” seems a little unstructured, but you like the idea of hanging out with real people pretending to be someone else, then try any of the wide variety of massively multiplayer online games. Some choice picks include “City of Heroes,” “Lord of the Rings Online” and the everpopular “World of WarCraft.” Best Part: Unlike many online games, the “SL” world was designed so that no magic portals or teleporters are necessary to explore the land. To get from one place to another you can walk or fly, taking in the sites and enjoying the serendipity of exploring a strange new world. Play Money: One of the many original features of “Second Life” is its economy. While many online games have a shadowy black market of magic swords and suits of armor traded for cash on eBay, “Second Life” remains unique in its use of an in-world dollar that is legally exchangeable for U.S. currency. Moreover, the economic traffic inside “Second Life” has reached impressive levels. On a typical day in April, more than $1.5 million worth of barter happened inside its digital domain.

may 03-09
ARIES (March 21-April 19): To manu-
facture one penny, the U.S. Treasury spends 1.4 cents. To process petroleum for use in operating a car, the oil industry expends 20 percent more energy than the gasoline yields. These are the kinds of situations you’ve urgently got to avoid in the coming week, Aries. You need to get substantially more out of any project than what you put into it. So choose your fuel wisely. Be resourceful in your push for greater efficiency.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The
outsourcing of fortune telling is well underway. Psychics and astrologers from India have been showering me with email invitations to take advantage of their services. “By the grace of the towering flames of goodness that burn the roof of our temple,” said one, “we have pledged to slave away our lives to cause the happy encroachment of bubbling karma on your masterful head. We will coax and guide the effects of various planets on the living accidents of your health so as to ease your slippery ride.” I suspect you’ll soon get puzzling offers of help like this, Taurus. You may even be given gifts you can barely make sense of and receive blessings that seem irrelevant or unlike anything you imagined you needed. My advice: Don’t ignore them. They will ultimately turn out to be quite useful.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If I were
you, I’d pursue other adventures besides hanging from a cliff by my fingernails and sweating bullets. But if that kind of thing really gets you off and teaches you the lessons you think you need, I’ll give you my grudging astrological permission to continue — providing that you stop no later than May 20. But if you’d consider trying some less manic and more constructive ways to explore your heroic urges, I have a few suggestions. You could wrestle the angels who will only give you their gifts if you fight for them. You could break off relations with green-eyed monsters and yellow-bellied soul-suckers.
Or you could dive into the abyss and try to retrieve the treasure that got hurled down into the muck some time back.
The time is right for you to gaze at the big picture of your life from on high, and then formulate a revised set of long-term plans.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): What is the holiest river in the world? Some might say the Ganges in India. Others would propose the Jordan River or the River Nile. But in accordance with current astrological omens, I say the holiest river is the one that’s closest to where you are right now. Your assignment is to go to that river and commune with it. Throw something valuable into it as an offering, and ask it to teach you how to feel more reverence and amazement and curiosity for everything in your life. By the time we meet here next week, I hope you will have walked on holy streets, praised holy people, hugged holy trees, kissed holy ground, and even shopped at holy stores.
LIbRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Through a tip from one of my readers, I discovered that the California State Division of Unclaimed Property was holding $405.85 for me from a class action lawsuit settled 15 years ago. The agency had a very old address on file, and didn’t know how to get in touch with me. I contacted them, and am now a bit richer. I predict you will experience a comparable event in the coming week. It’s possible that like me, you’ll gain possession of a resource you didn’t even know has been yours. Or maybe you’ll inherit your great-uncle’s coin collection or be reunited with a dream you lost track of. In one way or another, Libra, I believe the past will give you a gift.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the game of

bowling, a score of 300 is called a perfect game. It used to be rare, but in the last two decades it has become far more common. The change is due more to technological advances in balls, pins, and lanes than because of a rise in players’ athleticism. Make this your metaphor of the week, Leo. How might you be able to upgrade your chances for success by getting better equipment? How could you get more value out of your existing skills by calling on the help of machines, props and tools?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Have you
heard of the ‘Nine Pregnant Women’ rule?” asks businessman Scott Mills. “It takes nine months to have a baby — but you can’t get the job done in one month with nine pregnant women. That rule applies to any project: As you think about managing the time that’s available to complete a project, it’s critical that you identify which steps you must complete sequentially.” I suggest you install the Nine Pregnant Women rule at the center of your meditations right now, Virgo.

growing almost too fast, Capricorn. You know almost too much and you’re almost too attractive. Furthermore, you’re on the verge of being ridiculously smart, absurdly popular, and outlandishly creative. To avoid having any of this spawn jealousy in others, you should probably go overboard in expressing humility — even if you have to fake it a little. Another step you could take to minimize any problems people might have with your amazing beauty is to be extravagantly generous in sharing your wealth.
is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place,” said Pablo Picasso, “from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing stranger, from a spider’s web.” Now substitute your own name for “the artist” in the above statement, Scorpio, and you’ll have your assignment for the coming week. In other words, be alert for and open to the feelings flooding toward you from every direction. Regard the whole world as a giant classroom where you’ll be taking a crash course to upgrade your emotional intelligence.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Many of us have a superficial notion of the nature of healing, writes Philip Kingsley in his book In the Dark Places of Wisdom. We think that “healing is what makes us comfortable and eases the pain.” But the truth is, “what we want to be healed of is often what will heal us if we can stand the discomfort and the pain.” Make this your central theme for now, Sagittarius. See if you can stave off your urge for ease as you marinate longer in the aching confusion. “If we really face our
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Math-whiz Ian Fieggen has determined that there are 1.96 trillion ways to lace up your shoes. On his website, Ian’s Shoelace Site (tinyurl.com/ 5gh4p), you can get instructions for 47 of those methods, as well as 17 different approaches for tying your shoes. You currently have a capacity for mastering detail that rivals Fieggen’s, Pisces. I just hope you use it to accomplish more useful and ennobling projects than his. Be a stickler with a higher purpose.

My dream vacation would be... to go to Greece or Italy. Something I would like to do, but haven’t had the chance… take a hot air balloon ride or a canopy tour of a rain forest.
Before I was a Realtor one of my interesting jobs was... I was in the veterinary field (technician/business manager) for 13 years. As with all aspects of medicine, every day presents a new opportunity to learn & experience.
If I weren’t a Realtor, I would be a... professional singer and tour with great musicians! If I had a million dollars I would... donate to charities, indulge my love of travel, help friends, and buy an investment property. Hmmm, a million dollars doesn’t go far!
One thing people are surprised to find out about me is... that I have been studying astrology since I was 13 years old and I do astrological charts on the side. How’s that for diverse?

Next HH
Y FUTURE SHLOCK Cage accessorizes with futuristic eyewear for no apparent reason in Lee Tamahori’s less than visionary thriller.
ou really have to feel sorry for Philip K. Dick. Not just because he’s dead. And not because, like so many creative visionaries, he died broke. No, the rawest deal of all for the posthumously appreciated sci-fi scribe is the treatment his work has received at the hands of Hollywood. Dick’s novels and short stories pack more innovative ideas on a given page than you’ll find in the lifetime output of any dozen industry hacks. This originality has made his writings an irresistible resource for movie makers. That’s made his descendants rich. Unfortunately, it hasn’t made for a whole lot of quality cinema. With a couple of exceptions — Blade Runner and, to a certain degree, A Scanner Darkly — most of the pictures based on Dick’s work have incorporated the source material’s mind-bending premise
Black Book HHH
A BLACKLISTED A pretty spy gets intel and gets naked in Paul Verhoeven’s uneven World War II movie
Dutch friend once told me she liked the films of Paul Verhoeven because they presented America as it appears through her countrymen’s eyes: a cartoon full of big breasts, bulging biceps and white teeth. From Basic Instinct to Starship Troopers to the camp classic Showgirls, the Dutch director has built his Hollywood career on exaggeration. Now he’s returned home and turned his lens on his own nation with Black Book, an espionage drama set in the occupied Netherlands in 1944. It’s a bleak setting and a serious, Oscar-bait subject — the heroine is a Jewish woman who survives by hiding her heritage and sleeping with a Nazi. Can Verhoeven resist his impulse to paint everything bigger and brighter than life? Rachel Stein, the ex-cabaret singer played by Carice van Houten, has something in common with Verhoeven — she likes to have fun. In early scenes, we see her bop around to forbidden “English music,” sunbathe in her undies, and hitch a ride on a handsome man’s boat. When the farmhouse where she’s been hiding is bombed, Rachel barely bats an eyelash. When her parents and brother are slaughtered in an attempt to flee the country, she looks stricken but quickly moves on. Soon she’s kidding around with Resistance fighters and sharing a bed with a Hauptsturmführer in the SS (Sebastian Koch). True, she only wants information that might help free prisoners, but that doesn’t stop her from developing affection for the Nazi. After all, he lost his own family in the war. And he’s a big dork who collects stamps, so how evil could he be?
and chucked the rest, replacing his storyline and sensibility with standard-issue actionthriller mechanics. Total Recall, Screamers, Imposter, Minority Report and Paycheck are good examples, but I doubt there’ll soon be a better one than Next. Lee (Die Another Day) Tamahori directs this adaptation of “The Golden Man,” a short story with virtually no connection to this motion picture beyond a single component of its premise: The central character has the power to see two minutes into his future. Nicolas Cage stars as Cris Johnson, an individual who, as we learn in the film’s opening sequence, seeks nothing more from life than to stay under the radar. He’s found the perfect cover for a fellow with his special gift — smalltime Vegas magician. Cage is careful not to attract attention when playing blackjack, for example: Though he could win indefinitely, he limits his take to modest stacks. When he’s not performing or bilking casinos, he spends his time — particularly the time around 8 in the morning — at a coffee shop, incongruously sipping a martini and waiting for the love of his life, Jessica Biel, to walk in, as he saw her do in a vision way more than two minutes earlier. Here’s where things get wacky. The guy’s spent his entire life blending in, lying low, doing nothing that will get him noticed — yet suddenly half the planet has him in its crosshairs. The FBI wants his help in preventing a terrorist attack in L.A., both casino secu-
People forced to survive extreme circumstances develop extreme resilience, so there’s a certain realism in Rachel’s whatever attitude. The problem is that the movie often seems to share it. There’s no scene in Black Book that’s half as chilling as one second of the fascist villain’s screen time in last year’s Pan’s Labyrinth. When that character put his revolver to the head of a wounded anti-fascist fighter, the whole audience was still. We felt his conviction that he was doing the right thing, and that was scary. By comparison, Verhoeven’s Nazis come off as
rity and the Las Vegas Police Department are on his trail, and even the Eurotrash terrorists are gunning for him. Naturally, the script offers no explanation for his abruptly heightened profile. We’re also never told why Cage isn’t eager to help save the 8 million lives the Bureau (in the form of a one-note Julianne Moore) tells him are at risk. When he finally does bump into Biel, he hitches a ride out of town with her, and the movie settles into chase mode for the next hour or so. Eventually Moore catches up with Cage and persuades him to use his power for good. This results in her strapping him into a special Clockwork Orange chair with little doodads that hold his eyes open so he can watch TV news and see where the tragedy will unfold when it makes headlines in the future. Which raises a couple of additional questions: Why does Moore need to force his eyes open if he’s volunteering to watch television? And how can Cage all of a sudden see more than two minutes into the future? It hardly matters. The movie’s makers have run so low on ideas by the final act that they fall back on two of the medium’s currently most abused clichés. First there’s the prolonged shoot-out on a harbor city’s docks — since Cage can see the path bullets will take before they’ve been fired, he’s able to sidestep them in Matrix-reminiscent slo-mo. Then there’s the Big Surprise Twist. I’ll be honest. It did surprise me. As cheesy and riddled with logic problems as Next is, I never suspected its creators would stoop as low as they do in the final moment of this film. And for that I blame myself. This is a Nicolas Cage movie — he’s even credited as a producer. After recent anything-for-a-buck rip-offs such as Ghost Rider, The Wicker Man and National Treasure, I suppose I should have seen it coming. RICK KISONAK
slightly clownish. It doesn’t help that the film’s music and dialogue often sound as if they belong in an older movie version of World War II — half Casablanca, half Raiders of the Lost Ark. This is the type of film in which a villain poisons someone and then purrs, “This will put you to sleep . . . forever!” Van Houten carries the movie with a toss of her peroxided head. That coiffure and her perfect red Cupid’s bow lips are lures Rachel uses to wind bad and good guys around her little finger. While her smile charms, tension and contempt show in her eyes. Unfortunately, the only way Verhoeven finds to reveal Rachel’s inner angst is to give her an occasional noisy breakdown. Defter, grittier writing and direction would have kept us in her head every step of the way. As a rousing spy film and a mystery with twists galore, Black Book is good entertainment. The script does touch on the thorny question of the Dutch gentiles’ complicity in the deaths of their Jewish compatriots. Even the Resistance fighters show some antiSemitism — “They’re all alike,” one sneers, when Rachel is believed to have betrayed the cause. Ultimately, Black Book is to World War II what the TV series “24” is to today’s “war on terror.” It’s a glossy thrill-ride in which mass deaths are a background to personal heroism, and trauma is shrugged off or erased with a crying jag. But if the sight of van Houten topless inspires some college kid to crack a history book, Verhoeven will have achieved more than he did with all the nipples in Showgirls. MARGOT HARRISON

Eatin’ the Outdoors whole systems designs creates scenery you can chew on by SUZANNE PODHAIZER
T
here’s nothing like eating justplucked kiwi still warm from the summer sun. Or sitting under a persimmon tree and slurping up the fruit’s slippery, electric-orange flesh. In just a few years, Vermonters will be able to do both right here at home.
Falk, works with a team of eco-warriors and consultants from across the globe. A couple of key players: Michael Blazewicz, who specializes in aquatic ecosystems, and Chris Shanks, an ethnobotanist and horticulturalist. The “whole systems” part of the equation has to do with the holistic nature of the WSD team’s approach. As the website
in the worldview of the whole systems design team, every part of the landscape has the potential to become a food-producing resource. Will we have global warming to thank for these newfound edibles? Not necessarily. Thanks to the pioneering work of Moretown-based Whole Systems Design, LLC, at least a few Vermont locales will boast balmy “microclimates” that support crops not known to thrive in the Green Mountains. Clever landscaping and new forms of gardening will bring us these fruits, whether or not the climate does the warming for us. WSD specializes in “edible landscaping.” It sounds simple enough: Instead of growing plants that are merely ornamental, landowners can beautify their properties with plants that also produce comestibles. The company’s director, 29-year-old Ben
explains, “We aim to design places so that lines between the ‘human’ and the ‘natural’ disappear . . . Our approach synthesizes ecology, landscape architecture, site development, construction, farming, education and other disciplines.” WSD designs buildings that are fueled by renewable resources, and gardens — both traditional and nontraditional — that fuel the people who live and work in those buildings. The company’s projects have included several residential properties, an outdoor sauna and an elementary school kitchen garden. But WSD’s biggest challenge — and most visible showcase — is the Teal Farm in Huntington. With 1296 acres, a seemingly limitless budget and a 100-year
timeline, it’s a landscape designer’s dream. The land, on the western side of the Green Mountains, encompasses a wide range of ecosystems — wetlands, forests and fields. According to WSD’s plans, in a few years every one of them will be contributing to a living, food-bearing, regenerative landscape. Teal Farm is owned by Melissa Hoffman, director of LivingFuture, a nonprofit that aims to “create ecologically intelligent food, energy and building systems that . . . perpetually enhance the environment.”
The farm, which is also Hoffman’s residence, will serve as a prototype of a healthy agricultural system. Falk predicts that the farm will be “one of the most diverse, coldclimate foods systems to be implemented in the world.” WSD staff have been working with Hoffman on the site design for the past two years. The massive document they’ve created together includes a 100-year plan for the farm, a list of hundreds of plant species the >> 0 B

land will harbor, and detailed maps of the property’s different microclimates. Last week, they moved from planning to planting. Nut-bearing pines and baby plum trees now dot the landscape. Tubing protects them from nibbling animals. The farm already features a house that’s being renovated to run on power from the sun and the wind, and an “energy barn.” Falk and his team are using intensive gardening and land-management techniques to make the property not just “sustainable” but “regenerative,” as he puts it. Falk explains that ecologists historically have viewed human beings as a negative and “unnatural” force. Sustainable agriculture seeks to raise food in a way that doesn’t cause erosion or harm to the landscape. “Regenerative” agriculture, on the other hand, is based on the premise that humans can use
their knowledge to improve the environment. It’s important to remember, notes Shanks, that “We’re part of the eco-system; we’re not separate from it.” In the worldview of the WSD team, every part of the landscape has the potential to become a food-producing resource. Teal Farm’s wetlands will harbor wild rice, fish and cranberries. The thousand-acre forest that makes up most of the property will produce ginseng, wild leeks, fiddlehead ferns and a variety of fungi, such as oyster mushrooms, reishi, hen of the woods and maitaki. Today’s Vermont forest supports only a few of the species that thrived there a few hundred years ago, says Falk. Given the number of crops that can be grown in the woods, Falk, Blazewicz and Shanks are frustrated by the practice of setting aside acres of forest land to be “conserved” and “preserved.” In their view, leaving the “natural” landscape untouched is often not the best choice. When European
settlers arrived, Shanks explains, “They didn’t see crops in straight lines,” so they didn’t think the land was being managed. “But really,” he adds, “it was so much more sophisticated.” Thoughtful planting inside the forests could provide more food for animals that are being displaced by urban sprawl, and for humans. One exciting way to expand the number of local species is to fashion microclimates in which the prevailing temperature is different from that of surrounding areas. Creating windbreaks of nut-bearing trees and using passive solar landscape design — where water and rocks capture the sun’s rays and pass the warmth to the ground — are two options. “It can be 70 degrees [in one small area] when it’s 40 degrees elsewhere,” Falk says. “In one acre you can have several climates.” And plants that flourish in temperatures just a few degrees warmer than those of Vermont become options. >> 06B

The intensive gardens at Teal Farm will be an example of mixed annual and perennial high-yield organic food production. The system will produce year-round with the help of cold hardy plantings, wind-buffering evergreens, and trellises that exploit vertical space. Borders are defined by perennial shrubs and dwarf tree of small fruits and nitrogen fixers. Fertility is also added to the annual beds through small scale composts heaps within the garden, mulching of pathway cover grasses and from neighboring nutrient production zones. This garden will feed more people per square area than any other part of the farm. See Plants section of the plan set for species lists and additional information.

Teal Farm aims to be self-sufficient and produce no waste. Outside the human purview, its planners point out, there is no such thing as “garbage.” A tree limb broken in a storm becomes a haven for insects and fungi, and eventually turns into soil. Dead animals decay and help nourish future growth. “Are prunings an abundance, or are they a nuisance?” asks Shanks. “There’s not waste — just different kinds of resources.” Teal Farm seems like a perfect place to put the idea of edible landscaping to the test. But advocates of nontraditional gardening believe the practice is also a possibility for those who don’t own thousand-acre land parcels or their own nonprofit foundations. One good place to start is to replace the traditional lawn — which wastes gallons of water and can produce tons of pollution through chemical run-off and power-mower emissions — with diverse plantings that provide food for humans and other species. Even people who don’t have much land have plenty of options.
Trellises can turn a sunny porch into a miniature grape arbor. Container gardening can make fresh salsa a reality for city dwellers. A small parcel of underused pasture can be transformed into abundant orchards. One person experimenting with small-scale edible landscaping is Anne Burling of Warren, who served in the Vermont Legislature as Anne Just. She’s working with WSD on the six acres that surround her second home in Warren. “The land around is just a field, so it’s ready to be transformed . . . They transplanted some plum trees I already had and added some pear trees,” Burling says. Future plans for her property include nut trees, berry bushes and medicinal plants. “The whole systems design approach isn’t changing drastically what we do and know,” Burling suggests. “It’s just refocusing our intentions.” As Shanks puts it, “To leave the landscape in better condition than you found it is a mitzvah." >

Henry’s Hoopla NO MORE LATE NIGHTS AT THE DOWNTOWN DINER
Dairy Queen Off the Scene ITEMS AT QTEE’S ON THE QT?
FILE PHOTO: MATTHEW THORSEN
Exactly 365 days after it switched to 24-hour service on weekends, Henry’s Diner on Burlington’s Bank Street abruptly pulled the plug on all-night eating. “We made it for one year,” reports Naomi Maglaris, who co-owns the diner with husband
Bill. Wee-hour business was just starting to break even, according to Naomi, and probably would have improved with warmer weather. Then came Saturday, April 14. That evening, the dishwasher didn’t show up and a customer came in looking for a brawl. The result: a massive food fight that involved milkshake missiles and squished packets of jelly. To make matters worse, the staff members decided to close up shop two hours early — without getting in touch with the owners or cleaning up the mess. “They never should have done that without calling us,” Naomi gripes, noting she and Bill fired the entire nighttime crew. “We were pretty upset.” What caused the nighthawks to go on the offensive? Bill says the Burlington Police Department was in the habit of sending an officer down to keep the peace between midnight and 4 a.m. Not that night. Even with police presence, the long arm of the law hadn’t prevented people from stealing the diner’s gumball machine — even the art off the walls. “It was such weird hours. It was very difficult to find a crew,” Bill explains. “We went through a couple sets of employees hoping they’d be better.” Bill is optimistic the night-shift clientele will still come in for regular meals. And he hasn’t totally given up on the concept. “If we could develop a good strong crew to handle those hours,” he promises, “we’d try to do it again.” SUZANNE PODHAIZER
The Diner’s Done FARMER’S DINER PULLS OUT OF THE UVM DAVIS CENTER
The Farmer’s Diner won’t be part of UVM’s new Dudley H. Davis Center, according to its Quecheebased owner, Tod Murphy. The problem? The cost of leasing the space was “significantly more than what we thought we’d have as a profit margin,” Murphy explains. “There were some good philosophies and other reasons to pursue it,” he says, but the numbers weren’t crunching the way he wanted. Paul Bahan of University Dining Services says the resulting vendor vacancy has yet to be filled. “We’re talking to several parties . . . We hopefully will be making an announcement soon.” In the meantime, Murphy is considering other ways to get into the Chittenden County market. “We’re going into the summer season, so we have plenty to focus on here,” he says. “But we have a group of investors who are looking for opportunities.” S.P.
The food is cooked to order at QTee’s, in the old Dairy Queen on North Winooski Avenue in Burlington, and it’s gonna stay that way, according to co-owner Kathryn Goguen. The business began operating as a Dairy Queen in 1945. Goguen’s parents bought it in ’59; mother and daughter still run the place together. Recently, the Dairy Queen chain instituted a cooking-policy change; Goguen had four years to decide whether to go along — or go indie with a new name. Goguen went her own way, and a non-compete clause forbids her from openly advertising burgers or ice cream for a full year. Until then, Goguen plans to close up shop at 7 p.m. each evening and won’t be open on Sunday. What food items can she talk about? “I have crispy chicken, roast beef sandwiches and clam baskets,” she lists. “Everything you could possibly think of.” And if you want something that’s not on the menu, she suggests, “just ask.” S.P.

Vegan Variety SOY’S IN THE ’HOOD
A vegan restaurant across from the Old North End Variety? By fall, there could be a soy-smoothie source in the space formerly occupied by the Greener Pastures vintage clothing shop. The owner of China Express — on Shelburne Road and North Street — plans to serve a healthier crowd at the New Ethic Café. Actually, one of Sam Lai’s workers, Owen Hoppe, will run the place. The 23-year-old vegan promises sandwiches, veggie burgers and “a lot of raw stuff” in a counter-service setting he envisions as “something ’50s meets something sort of lounge-ish.” He’s also developing a recipe for vegan soft-serve ice cream. “I won’t have anything non-vegan in the building,” Hoppe assures. There’s plenty of demand for animal-product-free food, as Lai has discovered running a restaurant down the street. You can create your own tofu dish — and substitute brown for white rice — at the Old North End’s China Express. PAULA ROUTLY
Audibles and Edibles NOSHING AT NECTAR’S DURING SOUND CHECK
Nectar’s is trying to get in tune with the local dining crowd. Every day of the week, during the 5-7 p.m. sound checks, patrons can chow down for cheap. For two bucks a plate, you can get a barbecued, pulled-pork sandwich; one-third rack of spice-rubbed, baby-back ribs; fried bell-pepper rings with Jamaican jerk ranch dressing; or beer-battered onion chips with roasted garlic and bell-pepper ketchup — dishes that usually run between $5 and $7. As the menu suggests, the joint is moving in a barbecue direction. Big Fatty’s envy? Staffer “Taylor,” who wouldn’t share his first name, claims “our barbecue is different and unique from theirs.” Plus, Big Fatty’s doesn’t carry those hot gravy fries. S.P.

are prob-
ably the geekiest alt-rock band of all time. They’re also one of the most talented. The group, formed in the late 1980s by John Flansburgh and John Linnell, is known for its tight two-part harmonies, Tin Pan Alley-style arrangements and unimpeachable hooks. They’re also incredibly funny, with a dark-hued worldview that provides a compelling counterpoint to their upbeat sound. Lately, they’ve branched out into children’s music and literature, but they can still rock with all the eclecticism their fans have come to expect. Don’t miss them this Friday at the Higher Ground Ballroom with Nighttime Gallagher.

DEALING WITH DYLAN
It’s been a while since songwriting genius/professional crank Bob Dylan has been seen in Vermont. Of course, that’s not counting the annual Bob Dylan Wanna Be Contest in Montpelier, during which locals compete to see who can best channel The Bob. But I digress. The real deal played the Flynn MainStage during my first or second year in Burlington. Unfortunately, I missed the concert due to a gig of my own. The last time Dylan jingle-jangled for Vermonters was in Highgate back in 1995, according to an AP report, where he opened for the Grateful Dead. And if you remember that show, you probably weren’t there. Thanks to the good folks at Higher Ground and Gillette Entertainment, Dylan will make a July 1 stop at the Champlain Valley Exposition. His recent concerts have been praised for their high energy level and varied song selection. Lord knows he’s got enough tunes to choose from. These days, Bob seems like a creepy old radio picking up ghost transmissions of old-time folk and blues. That and a lot of weird static. Just last weekend I read Dylan’s interview with Rolling Stone’s founder/publisher/editor Jann Wenner for that magazine’s 40th anniversary issue. Bob was standoffish at first, before he got relaxed — then he was merely pedantic and vague. Wenner kept trying to get him to admit that his recent blockbuster album, Modern Times, is a meditation on the coming apocalypse. Unsurprisingly, Dylan refused to take the bait, making ambiguous statements about America’s busted cultural compass. He also kindasorta denied climate change. When asked if such developments worried him, Dylan answered, “Where’s the global warming? It’s freezing here.” He may be older, but he’s still prickly, particularly when journalists (including those who should know better) treat him like an Americana oracle. The times may be still a-changin’, but Dylan’s temperament remains very much the same. I’m sure you Dylan obsessives already know the deal, but tickets will go on sale Friday via the Flynn Regional Box Office, online at www.Flynntix.org or by calling 86-Flynn. Any bets on how long it’ll take to sell out?

continues the trend with a couple of standout rap concerts. Brooklyn-based Jeru the Damaja pops by Club Metronome on Thursday, May 3. Joining him are Syracuse, New York’s United Nationz and hometown heroes Lee & S.I.N. and DJ Idioma. JTD first damaged the mike alongside DJ Premiere and Guru, the minds behind underground legends Gang Starr. He appeared on that group’s 1992 LP Daily Operations; his solo debut, The Sun Rises in the East, dropped the following year. He took a break from the game before returning in 1995 with The Wrath of the Math — a hard-hitting look at the ills of the urban music industry. By the new millennium, JTD had gone completely independent, releasing Heroz 4 Hire on his own label. With a style that mixes the BOB DYLAN grisly realism of street rhyme with conscious hip-hop, Jeru continues to make his mark on the rap world. And on his own terms, no less. Another excellent act, Florida’s Sol.Illaquists of Sound, hits the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge on Sunday, May 6. They’ll be playing with fellow Gator-staters DJ J. Storm and Grey Matter. Representing the local scene are Dark Cloud and DJ Big Dog. Musically, SOS are both soulful and eclectic, with elements of drum ’n’ bass, funk and rock making their way into the mix. They’ve got a great balance of female sung vocals and brainy rap, supported by progressive beats and creatively layered instrumentation. The band offers messages of personal transformation through conscious living, championing veganism and community involvement. To me, they’re what the Black Eyed Peas might have been had success not turned them into garish commercial caricatures. I highly recommend the latest Sol.Illaquists disc, As If We Existed, which came out last year on the Epitaph Records offshoot, Anti. It’s not every day you hear a hip-hop record that’s righteous, smart and smooth. More info on the all-ages show can be found at www.HigherGroundMusic.com.
BRANDI CARLILE
TO BE REAL
When it comes to today’s singer-songwriters, I usually have my defenses up. After awhile, every press release seems the same, with references to the artist’s “deep convictions” and “inspired narratives.” More often than not, it’s the same Pro-Tooled, Auto-Tuned crap. There are, of course, exceptions. I’m currently eating crow about Brandi Carlile, who appears at the Higher Ground Ballroom on Wednesday, May 2, with Cary Brothers. The Seattle-based Carlile is about as good as it gets when it comes to modern pop-folk songwriting. Her voice is big, bold and honest, and she’s not afraid to push it to the breaking point. Her stuff isn’t terribly adventurous musically, but it has enough variation in mood and intensity to keep things from sounding too generic. Carlile’s latest album, The Story, has an earnest, “band on the road” feel, with an emphasis on dynamics and interplay. The production comes courtesy of Americana maestro T. Bone Burnett, which goes a long way towards explaining the disc’s cordially unvarnished sound. Some of the tunes were recorded in one take, adding to the overall roughness. Still, we’re not talking Exile on Main Street-style blowouts here. Actually, Carlile has a sense of sonic grandeur comparable to the late Jeff Buckley. She’s also got a good bit of Indigo Girls in her, and claims that the duo inspired her to pick up the guitar. Normally, that wouldn’t impress me either, but, hey, it worked out great this time. Three of Carlile’s tunes have been featured on the insanely popular medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy,” which has raised her profile considerably. I personally don’t watch that show, but if they start playing her music on “House,” I won’t switch the channel.
It’s been a great spring season for local hip-hop fans, with big-time national acts playing high-energy shows with area talent. This week

reviewthis STONE COLD ROOSTERS, OUT OF THE WOODS
PAGE MCCONNELL, PAGE MCCONNELL
(Self-released, CD)
(Sony Legacy, CD)
I don’t like Phish. There, I said it. That statement is close to sacrilege in these parts, but I really feel much better having written it. I know, I know: It’s my job to be objective, regardless of personal taste. But living in Burlington makes objectivity nearly impossible when it comes to the Phab Four. From the headiest hippie to the surliest punk, everyone has an opinion concerning our local rock icons. So I really can’t help but inject a certain personal bias when sizing up a new project from an ex-member of Phish. It’s like trying to evaluate post-Star Wars Mark Hamill without thinking about Luke Skywalker. It simply can’t be done. On his self-titled debut solo album, Page McConnell tries — with a little help from his phriends, including guest turns from Trey Anastasio and Mike Gordon — to emerge from the shadow of the Dark Side, and he often succeeds. Although there’s no shortage of wiggle-inducing jamminess, the record is defined by a fairly conventional pop structure. And yes, I’m shocked. Eschewing the musical masturbation favored by many would-be heirs to the jam throne, McConnell has crafted an album that wouldn’t seem out of place next to Ben Folds or early Elton John on your CD shelf. Not unlike Folds, McConnell possesses a pleasing voice and displays a gift for cleverly succinct melodies. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have the same knack for cleverly succinct lyrics. Throughout the disc, McConnell explores intimate personal ground — a divorce, life after Phish. He even takes on some hefty political matters. Yet his ambitions outweigh his literary abilities, which results in a good deal of rambling. “Windmills, alpaca, thermal extractor / Who’s keeping track of the matter of factor? / He started to speak in the middle of last week / Talking for days lending voice to the breeze,� McConnell sings on “Complex Wind.� See what I mean? Lyrical stumbles aside, Page McConnell is impressively adventurous and a surprising departure from the Phish/Vida Blue canon. It’s no secret that the keyboardist is a virtuosic musician, and he gives himself ample opportunities to shine. But he also shows commendable restraint by allowing his songs, and not just his solos, to take center stage. McConnell will kick out the jams (apologies to The MC5) and kick off his summer tour at the Higher Ground Ballroom on Wednesday, May 30. May the phorce be with him.

If there can be such a thing as a modern old-school country band, central Vermont’s Stone Cold Roosters are it. The group’s debut, Out of the Woods, is righteously old-fashioned, yet the disc has a sonic richness more common to today’s rock and r&b records. Led by production guru, songwriter and sideman extraordinaire Colin McCaffrey, the band has its Western-style licks down, well, cold. Fiddler Thal Aylward, drummer Roy Cutler, pianist/organ man Chuck Eller, resonator guitar player Ted Mortimer, steel guitarist Jim Pitman and McCaffrey are all seasoned musicians with long CVs. Ensemble playing requires a high level of attention and sensitivity, qualities these players have in spades. Although this is their debut disc, the Roosters have been crowing for nearly six years. But as members have been busy with numerous other projects, there’s been little time to make a proper recording. Fans of country and Americana should be glad they finally got around to doing so. Woods opens with the barnstormer “Gotta Learn How to Dance,� which recounts the travails of a suitor with two left feet. The players sound so accomplished, it’s easy to picture them making a serious dent in the Nashville session scene. “What in the world was I thinkin’ / What in the world was I drinkin’ when I said goodbye,� McCaffrey sings on “I Went and Let a Good Love Die,� a surprisingly jaunty tale of romance gone wrong. The tune features highly proficient solos from pretty much everyone in the band. Unfortunately, they’re somewhat lacking in the passion department. “Your Feet Look Good� is a rockin’ country number with a boogie-woogie bass line and swing-style call-and-response vocals. And yes, it is an ode to a lady’s ambulatory extremities. Jim Pitman’s “Well Swung� is a feisty instrumental that wouldn’t sound out of place in a Prohibitionera saloon. Fiddler Aylward’s solo is joyful and exuberant, Pitman’s steel work clever as all get-out. The rhythm section is equally excellent, providing a surefooted counterpoint to the tune’s frisky changes. “Happy as a Pig in S**t� aims for the funny bone, but is weighed down by a syrupy, “big country� arrangement and Mortimer’s quavering vocal. McCaffrey’s “Gettin’ Sideways,� on the other hand, is terrific, featuring subtle spy-movie riffs and deliberate dissonance. “My tattooed woman ain’t comin’ home / And I can’t call her ’cause I shot the phone,� McCaffrey croons. It’s by far my favorite cut on the disc and will likely find a permanent home on my iPod. The rest of the record’s 12 tunes are solid, with nary a note out of place. I bet there won’t be any musical missteps at their CD release party, either. Find out for yourself this Saturday, May 5, at the Middle Earth Music Hall in Bradford. CASEY REA

Mixing Nordic tradition with elements of Irish music and bluegrass, the band delivers folk-fueled tunes that sound both exotic and familiar. The group’s moniker resembles a certain American expression, but it’s also the name of a Norse goddess and consort to the mighty Ur-God Odin. The band Frigg is likewise powerful, with stunning melodic passages that evoke the natural majesty of Scandinavia. Catch them this Friday at the Middle Earth Music Hall in Bradford.

silver plating You can’t turn on the TV without running into Rachel Ray, but celebrity chefs rarely make live appearances in the Green Mountain State. Unless, of course, you count the locally prominent peeps who appear with Arnd Sievers, the Sheraton’s master chef, at a monthly charity dinner series that offers a tongue-in-cheek take on glam food culture. Miss Vermont, a.k.a. Sarah Watson, trades in her tiara for a toque at a benefit for the only statewide scholarship competition that has a swimsuit modeling category.

scene@ “NATIONAL BUNNY DAY�
FLETCHER FREE LIBRARY, BURLINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 3 P.M.
pHoTo: maTTHew THorsen
Bunnies take the cake for small, soft Ăźbercuteness — think baby lop-ears lounging in teacups. Imagine my surprise, then, to meet a jet-black rabbit the size of a small ottoman. “He’s 11 pounds . . . our cat is afraid of him,â€? confided Christine Demarais, the children’s librarian in charge of a hands-on experience for small patrons. Monty Python jokes about holy hand grenades and “big, pointy teethâ€? aside, Blackberry was still pretty darned adorable. Named after a character in Watership Down, he hopped around the room’s perimeter, gamboling freestyle as five kids under second grade filed in with their folks. After introductions, small listeners settled in for The Tale of Peter Rabbit, but all eyes remained on the librarian’s furry friend. Blackberry meandered over to the black baseboards, flattening himself against them and extending his legs. The reading paused. “See? He’s relaxing over there.â€? With his body camouflaged by the black background, his only visible features were his long ears, silhouetted against the white wall. The kids could hardly contain their energy. “Don’t chase him. Give him some space,â€? cautioned Demarais. Two brothers, ages 5 and 7, had a hard time remembering not to engage the recessed wheels on their rolling sneakers. A tolerant Blackberry submitted to enthusiastic petting, then all of the boys lay down and started rolling around on the floor. Demarais explained what rabbits eat and drink (hay, grass pellets and water), what they chew on (practically anything, but sanctioned items include compressed cubes of plant material), and fave treats (banana chips and fresh veggies). Investigation of Blackberry’s cage prompted an explanation of how bunnies use litter boxes, and, among the under-7 set, spirited discussion about the composition, smelliness and comparative size of animal poops. After the first round of kids was shooed outside for being rambunctious, Christine curled up with Blackberry, and he melted into a “bunny puddleâ€? as his ears were massaged. Another lapine fact: When they’re feeling contented, rabbits grind their molars with a noise that sounds similar to a cat’s purr. Just so long as they don’t show their pointy teeth, I’m OK.

Fiddleheads signal the annual renewal of Vermont’s verdure. This week, the curled-up ferns lend their name to a Randolph festival celebrating folk music and farmers. On the Vermont Technical College campus, a tractor parade and obstacle course dovetail with live music, a special farmers’ lunch, a barn dance and a Maypole-enhanced blessing of the new growing season. Farmstead demos germinate ideas about heirloom seeds, hand milking and chicken plucking. Afterward, revelers can hear a downtown concert headlined by Waterbury Center dairy farmer, actor and musician George Woodard (pictured). Expect tall tales and oldtime tunes in the vein of Woodard’s Ground Hog Opry revue, and a sneak peek at his new film, The Summer of Walter Hacks. Fiddlehead Festival

PEACE BY PEACE Sally and Paul Bermanzohn were working as labor- and civil-rights activists in 1979, when multiple Ku Klux Klan members ambushed their Greensboro, North Carolina, rally. Five of the demonstrators died, and Paul sustained injuries that left him permanently paralyzed on one side. The survivors contend that federal agents and local police knew about the attack in advance. Though TV cameras documented the shootings, the killers were never punished. The Bermanzohns explain the incidents detailed in Sally’s 2003 book, Through Survivors’ Eyes. They also discuss the findings of a 2004 truth-and-reconciliation panel devoted to the incident — a community council modeled on the South African method of dealing with apartheid-era violence, and the first such U.S. effort toward restorative justice.

Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust! Dear Mistress Maeve, I recently dove headfirst back into the dating pool, and I have to admit that I’m a little out of practice. I’ve been out on a few dates so far. Most of them were bad, with the exception of one. She and I really hit it off. At the end of the date I wanted to kiss her, but I chickened out because I didn’t want to offend her by coming on too strong. I know this question is probably lame in comparison to the other, juicier letters you receive, but is it OK to go in for the kiss on the first date? Thanks, Shy Guy
Dear S.G., No question about love or lust is too small to tackle. Besides, without courtship and kissing, we’d never get it on. Capiche? I think kissing on the first date is fine, as long as a few key things are in place — undeniable chemistry, strong eye contact and blatant “kiss me” body language (if she’s touching your arm while she’s talking to you and holding your gaze for moments at a time, she probably won’t cringe at a kiss). To be safe, you should follow a few first-kiss rules. Firstly, compliment her. Tell her you had a great time with her and that you hope to see her again soon. Next, ask for the kiss. It’s extremely hot to hear, “I’d really like to kiss you right now.” She’ll either give you the go-ahead or explain why she prefers to wait. In which case, no harm done — you’ve given her the ultimate compliment. And please, if she gives you permission to kiss her, go easy. Take your time. Pull her in close, touch her face and do not jam your tongue down her throat. Your first kiss should be sweet, and preferably closed mouthed.
Smooches,
MM
