SNIDE ABOUT SENIORS Although Mike Ives cites some of the demographics of concern and mentions the difficulties about walking on North Avenue [“How’s My Pavement?” May 16], I was dismayed at his flippant approach to the serious issue of making Burlington a more livable city.

His descriptions of the people who volunteered their time to help the city improve its street planning are at best gratuitous and at worst, snide. He focuses on the walkers’ clothes, slyly making fun of them: “our Capripanted leader,” “highlights in their hair,” “she’s wearing white shoes, reflective blue shades, and a hat adorned with clusters of fake berries,” “she’s wearing Chaco sandals, quasi-bohemian necklaces, and oval-shaped green sunglasses.” What has all this detail got to do with surveying streets for accessibility? What was Ives wearing?

The gratuitous malice does

not stop with the descriptions of the clothing. Why describe Taormina’s comments about the car’s air conditioning, calling her a Luddite? “These women sound a little like my late grandmother,” he writes. Give me a break! These remarks do not belong in an article purporting to be about a survey for city planning.

Ives quotes, “Oh, I get so sweaty when I run,” “I do yoga, too, you know . . . I had sciatica problems. Five minutes a day.

That’s all it takes.” Focusing on these remarks and the clothing strips the article of any seriousness. And it is deeply disrespectful of the surveyors themselves. If Ives thought that the surveyors were wasting their time and the city’s, why not say so directly?

Finally, he loses points on accuracy. Jennifer WallaceBrodeur’s hair is not silver. It is blonde.

Although Ives appreciates 89-year-old Carol Winfield’s

charm and energy, my 9-year-old grandson understands better than Ives does how to differentiate between reporting a story and wallowing in ageist humor.

CHEAP EATS I not only found Suzanne Podhaizer’s piece [“Stayin’ Alive,” May 9] informative and interesting; it actually changed the way I shop and eat.

For years I have eaten the same basic things every single day because I had resigned myself to believing that they were the best compromise of nutrition and palatability that I could afford.

Reading Suzanne’s menus and ruminations made me realize that the monotony of my diet could be attributed to my own lack of initiative as much as financial disadvantage. I was forced to acknowledge that a big part of the remedy for my repetitive eating

habits is simple research and creativity — not more money.

Last weekend I bought some bulk grains such as bulgur and quinoa. So inexpensive! This summer I plan to frequent the farmers’ markets I’ve always made lame excuses not to check out in the past. And one doesn’t need to purchase cookbooks to browse cheap and healthy recipes anymore, just a computer with more letters >> 18a

CORRECTIONS In last week’s cover story, “How Green Is Our Valley,” we misspelled the names of Bill Stenger, the CEO of Jay Peak, and J.P. Carrara.

In our article about an upcoming Wes Disney exhibit at the Firehouse Gallery, we misidentified the name of the curator for that show. It is Ruth Erickson.

Our apologies for the goofs.

Last week Pamela Polston reported on the Burlington Regional Branding Projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to devise a new, tourist-friendly slogan for the Queen City. We invited readers to visit our website and submit their own slogan suggestions.

JAZZ MAFIA

I buy tickets to the BDJF and Flynn Center for the Performing Arts for two reasons. One, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on a fixed income and this is the only way I can support the local performing arts scene. Two, I feel free to praise or criticize any performance on my radio program. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very much like being a food critic. I am not obligated to grovel to the folks who give out free comp passes.

The following listed are concerts that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve purchased tickets for and the reason why...

Burlington: Spend money and leave.

Haik Bedrosian, Burlington Bedrosian is a former Burlington City Councilor.

Burlington: The Wanna-Be Winooski George Cross, Winooski Cross is a former state legislator.

Burlington: The town that turns you into a freak who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit in anywhere else.

Burlington: Where the high cost of living, low pay, gray skies and freezing cold really make you wonder why we love it so much.

Amy Johnston, Burlington

Come visit Burlington, where everyone feels like royalty, or at least entitled.

Thomas Fraga, Winooski

Burlington: New Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s West Coast.

Ellen Hollidge, Burlington; Holly Machanic, South Burlington; Nate Orshan, Burlington Burlington: Where left-wing hippies and right-wing socialites can co-exist peacefully.

Patrick Gallagher, Milton Burlington: So close to Vermont.

Rick Edmunds, Burlington Burling-ton-o-fun.

Burlington: Just minutes from the Expo.

Steve Mease, Williston Mease is the communications director of the Champlain Valley Expo.

Burlington: Where cosmopolitan meets country.

Burlington: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just for hippies anymore.

Cindy Groseclose, Fairfax Burlington: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just for Socialists anymore.

Burlington: Hey, we grow more than pot up here!

Greg Hancock, Burlington Visit Burlington! You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regret it!

David P. Gervais, Burlington

Damon Brink, Bolton Brink is the owner of Nectarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Club Metronome in Burlington.

Stuck in Vermontâ&#x20AC;? video blogger Eva Sollberger asks runners and race fans why they love the Vermont City Marathon.

Burlington: Yeah, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a festival for that.

Burlington: A lake, a lifestyle, a love affair.

Burlington: Hard parkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by design.

Burlington: Left-wing and lovely.

Burlington: Bright lights, little city.

Nate Orshan, Burlington

SOLID STATE

[MUSIC]

(Solid)State of the Union

Only two years ago, there was a roster of local bands numbering in the teens that could fill nearly any club in town, any night of the week.

Many of them, like Manifest Nexto Me, Black Sea Quartet, and, ahem, The Middle Eight are no longer with us, while bands like Swale, The Cush and The Jazz Guys, though still playing, have somewhat receded into the background. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always sad to see good bands die young, but it also opens the door for the next wave of talent to make its mark. So who are the likely culprits...?

[FOOD]

Beware the Monkfish!

Remember the Simpsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s episode â&#x20AC;&#x201D; One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fishâ&#x20AC;? from season 2 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in which Homer chowed down on a piece of poisonous sashimi and was later told he had only 24 hours to live?

Something similar recently happened to a couple of people in Chicago.

Except that unlike Homer, they consumed the seafood in a soup. And they had no idea what they were eating.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most recent in a string of discomforting news about food â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including the infamous wheat gluten used in pet food â&#x20AC;&#x201D; imported from China. It seems that a few boxes labeled â&#x20AC;&#x153;monkfishâ&#x20AC;? may actually have contained some type of poisonous â&#x20AC;&#x153;pufferfishâ&#x20AC;? instead...

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

PHOTO: PETER FREYNE

★★

SEN. BERNIE SANDERS “Your perception is exactly right,” said Independent U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders at a Tuesday presser in Burlington this week.

“I was over this weekend in Essex Junction at the Memorial Day Parade, in Middlebury and Vergennes yesterday [also parade-marching], and that is what people are talking about,” said Sanders. “They want this war ended. They want a sensible approach and an effective approach to fighting terrorism, and we don’t have it yet.”

Ol’ Bernardo, former eight-term congressman and four-term mayor of the People’s Republic of Burlington in the 1980s, made those remarks about the war at a press conference he called to plug the “All Healthy Children Act.” He’ll introduce the bill in the Senate next week. It would provide health-care insurance for every American under 18!

Dream on, right? Maybe when Bernie’s president?

Sanders had Marion Wright Edleman, director of the Children’s Fund, on the TV “live via satellite” from his Washington, D.C., office.

The senator was upbeat and didn’t appear to have planned a discussion of the Iraq War. However, “Mayor Sanders” and yours truly settled the question of who decides what questions are kosher at “press” conferences way back in the ’80s: The press does.

Once we pulled back the Iraq scab the emotions in the room rose considerably.

“As one of the people who led the opposition to this war from the first place,” said the Vermont Independent, “I think this war has been a horrendous disaster for so many reasons: the loss of life for our sol-

★

diers, the people in Iraq, and the people who come home wounded or with posttraumatic stress disorder.”

“Want to talk about money?” he asked sarcastically.

There are “good estimates,” Sanders said, that the eventual price tag for the Iraq war “will be $1 trillion.” We’re already close to $500 billion, “and God knows how much longer it goes on,” added the senator.

“A couple months in Iraq vs. providing health insurance for every child in America?” he scoffed. “Give me a break!” 2x5-paulines052307.indd 1 We asked Sanders what he had said to the regular Vermonters who stopped him at the Memorial Day marches to raise their “personal concerns, fears and opposition to the Bush war in Iraq.

“What I say to them is, we do not have the votes to override the president’s veto [on the Democrats’ war funding bill that had timetables for withdrawal],” said Sanders. “It takes 66 votes to override the veto,” he pointed out. Democrats only have 50 votes at the moment.

“What I say to them is that many of us understand how frustrated and angry people are. And what I say to them is, we are doing everything we can to end this war as soon as we possibly can.”

Sen. Sanders was asked what he thought of calls from a few Vermonters that Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy and Rep. Peter Welch, who have voted against the Iraq war, “pull a Jim Jeffords” and leave their party for “Independent” status, the way GOP Jeezum Jim did in 2001.

With lines of frustration showing in his face, Vermont’s political institution of the left suggested, “Instead of beating up on people like Welch and Leahy, who have voted consistently against the war, maybe people should start turning their attention to people who are voting for the war.”

And on that front, Sanders gave a hope- 2x5-Leunigs053007.indd 1 ful hint that there are signs of a political sea change ahead in America.

“I think a lot of Republicans who are going home this week to their districts are going to find exactly what I found,” said Bernie. “And what they found were people saying to them, ‘Hey, stop supporting this president on a very failed policy!’”

Sanders will not be up for reelection until 2012, but many Republicans will be.

Including some in Maine and New Hampshire.

“I think some of those senators are getting increasingly nervous,” said Sanders of Vermont. “The president was able to hold rsday: them and keep them in line, but I think Live Music Thu many of these senators and House members are feeling increasingly uncomfortable.”

As they damn well should, eh?

Same Old Vermont Summer? his one will be different. One can already feel it in the air and the wind and on the waves — particularly the airwaves — something that’s positively inescapable now.

And that something is the kick in the stomach that passes for the “news” in 2007.

The now-normal, expected daily newscast that begins with, “Another eight U.S. soldiers were killed in Iraq yesterday . . . 40 Shia [or Shiite] worshippers died in a suicide bombing” . . .

One cannot defeat madness by ignoring it. And finally, after five years-plus of President George W. Bush’s Iraq madness and deceit, Americans are rising up and speaking out by the tens of thousands.

They’re determined, as shown at the polls last November and at Vermont town meetings this spring, to put an end to the war — before it puts an end to us.

That was the case, many suggest, when Democratic Gov. Howard Brush Dean III made history by signing Vermont’s landmark civil-unions law. On April 26, 2000,

after years of legal battling and months of intense legislative warfare, Ho-Ho signed into law the first-ever legislation that extended marriage rights to same-sex couples. That was back in the days before he was a household word in America.

But there are no photos of that historic moment. No video footage in the WCAX-TV News archives. That’s because Ho-Ho signed the civil-unions bill in private, behind closed doors, with only close staff members present.

Dean said he did so because it had been such an emotionally intense and bitter battle and he didn’t want to rub it in. He was just being sensitive.

Some think, however, that Gov. Dean was more concerned about his coming 2000 race for re-election and the impending political backlash to the legalization of marriage rights for homosexuals. Surely photos of the historic Dean bill-signing would be used by his Republican challenger, Ruth Dwyer, to fan the flames of that antigay backlash?

And then there was the little matter of a certain Vermont doctor/governor harboring presidential ambitions for 2004.

Damn right, there weren’t going to be photos or film of the historic Vermont civil-unions signing!

And history, as we know, has a way of repeating itself. Take Gov. Jim Douglas’ “secret” signing last week of our state’s latest historic human-rights legislation.

S.51 is “An Act That Prohibits Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity.”

Vermont has once again led the way on the human-rights front by adding gender identity to “race, color, creed, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, religion or disability” as a factor that cannot be discriminated against.

Gov. Scissorhands signed S.51 into law last Tuesday. But there are no photos of this historic bill signing, either. Certainly, it wouldn’t have been too inconvenient for our guv. After all, Douglas did have two other billsignings on his public-appearance schedule that day.

“A public signing would have been the icing on the cake,” said Cara DeLeonardis, executive director of R.U.1.2? in Burlington. However, Cara told “Inside Track,” she was “thrilled” that Gov. Scissorhands “let the bill pass” and become law.

Asked about it the other day, Douglas told “Inside Track” he signs most bills “without going on the public schedule.”

But is he “proud” of signing this one?

“Obviously, last year, I vetoed it on the recommendation of the

Human Rights Commission, which is charged with enforcing it,” replied Jimbo. “They didn’t feel it was enforceable. So, over the last year I’ve met with members of the transgendered community, the Human Rights Commission has, and we’ve made changes that will make it work.

Vermonters don’t want to discriminate, but there is a lot of controversy over that.”

Yes, indeed. In fact, our guv acknowledged he’s been getting some heat from Vermont conservatives.

“There’s some people who have expressed their opposition,” said Douglas, “so I frankly didn’t feel the need for a signing event.”

Following in Howard Dean’s footsteps, is he?

Douglas for President in 2008!

Circ Follies! — The Age of the Automobile trudges on and, with it, the pleasantries of rush-hour traffic, drunk driving and moose hits! And, of course, the Chittenden County Circumferential Highway. Well, at least the planning and legal battles over it.

“I can remember,” said veteran Vermont journalist Candy Page, “when I was an editor at the Free Press — it must have been in the early 1980s — when Sen. Bob Stafford got the initial money to build the Circ Highway. And the way he got the money was to say, this was going to be a demonstration project on how you could quickly build a new highway by cutting through the red tape!”

Live and learn, eh?

No one doubts the Douglas administration wants to build the damn road. It’s what IBM in Essex Junction and the Lake Champlain Chamber of Commerce, among others, have been dreaming about for years: an “essential” 15.8-mile loop-road that, they claim, will relieve congestion and promote “smart growth” — no matter what the studies say.

But those dreams were crushed three years ago when U.S. District Court Judge William Sessions ruled that the Circ Highway needed a new Environmental Impact Statement. The original EIS, produced back in 1986, was more than a little out of date, ruled Judge Billy.

The Vermont Agency of Transportation, now under the leadership of Gov. Jim Douglas’ talented and successful campaign manager Neale Lunderville, is quietly rolling out the results of its latest court-ordered EIS. And while Gov. Scissorhands, who has already conducted a couple of unsuccessful ribbon-cuttings, still talks the pro-Circ talk, opponents suggest that may be just bluster.

Some opponents of the “highway to nowhere” say the administration doesn’t presently have the money — approximately $80 million state share — to build the Circ. And they suggest another federal court battle with the tree-huggers may give Gov. Douglas a political out while endearing him to his base.

Hey, at least he’s fighting for it, right?

Ms. Page was appearing on the “Vermont This Week” reporters’ panel on Vermont Public Television last weekend.

Candy, a local journalism institution, also shared her interesting impression of the big 16-day federal trial in Burlap that she had just covered. There on the fifth floor above Burlington’s main post office, the U.S. auto industry launched its full-bore legal challenge to the progressive and environmentally conscious California carbon dioxide emissions standards, also adopted by the Green Mountain State.

CANDY PAGE “This was a 16-day trial that was full of technical testimony,” said Page. “If I had to sum it up, I would say the auto industry made the case that they are technologically and financially incapable of producing a fleet of cars that would meet the California air-emissions standards.”

The “only way” to reduce CO2 emissions from America’s tailpipes, she noted, is to burn less fuel.

“It was a fascinating education in how Detroit works. There were engineering vice-presidents there explaining how long it takes Detroit to make a 5 percent improvement in fuel economy.

Meeting the CO2 standards, Detroit argued, could take them 12 years!” Candy said.

“That was a little depressing, I think, for those of us who think of American industry as capable of anything,” said the Freeps scribe.

“We don’t often have a chance in Vermont to see big Washington and New York law firms put a full-court press in court, and they left the state’s case somewhat battered,” said Candy.

Of course, she noted, the auto industry always screams and yells that environmental upgrades ordered by Uncle Sam are tremendously difficult and too costly.

BURLINGTON — Chittenden County State’s Attorney T.J. Donovan acknowledges that every person, even a lawenforcement official, carries inherent biases. Meanwhile, the Burlington Police Department swears by its “bias-free” policing policy. How do those two notions co-exist?

Answer: with difficulty. As Vermont’s minority populations expand, citizens are complaining with increasing fervor about being racially profiled by local cops. On Wednesday, May 23, the former got together with officials from Burlington’s police department and city council. Two Vermont reps and the executive director of Vermont’s Human Rights Commission joined them. About 50 people showed up, roughly

clearly disparities all around the place,” he said. “I mean, there is data, all kinds of data.

We are the most studied group of people. If someone comes up to me with another survey about what it’s like to be African-American . . . We’ve had these conversations before . . . What generally comes out is, who’s going to be accountable? How do you measure what you say you’re going to do?”

Some race-related Vermont statistics do exist. Between 1991 and 2006, the percentage of African-American men incarcerated in Vermont prisons rose from 2.3 to 8.4 percent. A 2002 census determined that African-Americans accounted for 0.7 percent of Vermont’s population. But a 2000 study revealed that Green Mountain

The system itself is racist.

one-quarter of them newly arrived immigrants and established local residents of color.

“Talking about the issue of race is a complex, sensitive, emotional issue,” cautioned Donovan, the evening’s moderator, by way of introduction. The forum represents the latest chapter in an ongoing — and strained — dialogue between Vermont law enforcement and the minority communities it serves. The prosecutor conceived the event in response to an April 1 Burlington Free Press op-ed in which Hal Colston, director of the Burlington nonprofit NeighborKeepers, recounted an experience of “driving while black.”

Several black attendees, both African and AfricanAmerican, suggested that the forum was just an empty gesture. Hussein Liban, a 26-yearold immigrant from Somalia, has lived in Vermont for three years. Liban sat quietly for most of the evening before standing to declare, “The system itself is racist, and you have to believe that if I applied for the same job [as a white person], I might not be the right person to get the job . . . so what can you do about that?”

Haskell Garrett, a board member of the Vermont Coalition for People of Color and a frequent voice on the topic, offered a historical critique. Garrett, 62, has lived in Burlington’s Old North End since 1990; he estimates having participated in some half-dozen similar community forums in the last 17 years. “There [are]

police were arresting AfricanAmericans at a rate seven times higher than other Vermonters.

Since 2000, various state and local agencies have taken steps to address racial discrimination. In 2002, the BPD adopted its prized “bias-free” policing policy. A 2003 study by the Norwich-based Center for Justice Research examined correlations between race and crime in Vermont. That year also saw the introduction of a house bill that would have created a task force to study statewide racial disparity.

But each of those efforts had its flaws. It’s difficult to measure the results of BPD’s “bias-free” policing policy, since Vermont doesn’t record racial statistics for traffic stops. The 2003 study was a mere three-page “pilot.” And the task-force legislation?

Never escaped committee.

So, does Donovan’s recent forum represent winds of change, or just more hot air?

Perhaps a little of both, judging by the comments of community members who attended. Jacob Bogre, 35, president of the Association of Africans Living in Vermont (AALV), said he feared language barriers impeded communication between newly arrived immigrants and BPD officers. He proposed the creation of a citizen advisory committee to help keep the police department on its toes.

Mary Wilson of the New North End recounted a 2005 incident in which undercover policemen stopped her teenage sons — apparently without just cause. Wilson said she considers

herself a conscientious parent, but worries for children whose parents don’t speak out against such acts of “institutionalized racism.”

Wilson moved to Burlington from Philadelphia a year and a half ago. She characterized Vermont as a place with “a lot of thinking people” who were “very analytical.” But she emphasized that she has not observed much “action” being taken on racial disparity by Vermont officials.

“We’re having a conversation,” she said in a soft, semimocking voice, as illustration of Vermont’s touchy-feely treatment of racism.

In response, State’s Attorney Donovan countered that he, along with Vermont Rep. Jason Lorber (D-Burlington) and newly elected Burlington City Council President Kurt Wright (R-Ward 4), who is also a state representative, plan to draft legislation that would address the issue.

“I mean, I think that’s action,” Donovan noted, nodding to Lorber and Wright at the forum.

The following morning, Lorber contacted Seven Days to report that the “ball is rolling” on racial profiling legislation. Asked to elaborate, he said he’d already contacted the Vermont ACLU, the Vermont Human Rights Commission and the state legislative council — the body of lawyers that drafts new legislation — about a bill for next year’s session. The bill would likely rework Vermont’s motorvehicle policy to enable the state to collect data on race through the DMV. In theory, that would allow for statistically significant tests on racial profiling in Vermont.

Bogre of AALV questions that approach. He says his organization will support any changes to DMV policy that encourage motorists to “behave better.” But he insists that race data shouldn’t be collected. “[That] is already racism,” Bogre notes.

After the forum, when all the participants had filed out onto North Avenue, Hal Colston stood chatting in the doorway of the conference room. He looked weary after some two hours of discussion but was still gesturing forcefully. A prominent advocate for race-data testing, Colston called the forum “the beginning of an ongoing dialogue.” He added, “We need to have more allies, black and white, helping to bridge the relationship gap that we need so sorely, so [that] when we have community policing, [it will] go to a much deeper level.”

Colston let his hands fall.

“Then, as people of color,” he said, “we may think differently about people in uniform.” �

LIAM MADDEN SPEAKING OUTSIDE THE PENTAGON

NEW YORK, N.Y. — A mock patrol like the one staged in midtown Manhattan last Sunday could result in Vermont antiwar activist Liam Madden’s being slapped with a less-than-honorable discharge from the U.S. Marine Corps.

Madden, a 22-year-old Iraq combat veteran, was recently warned in writing that his discharge status could be downgraded. The threatened punishment stems, the Marine Corps indicated, from Madden’s involvement in a March protest in Washington and from “disloyal statements” he allegedly made — perhaps on that occasion.

Madden won’t discuss his case

the Marines, agrees the U.S. military is using “scare tactics” in an attempt to “squash this form of protest and to set a precedent.”

The charges against Madden and Kokesh “show the degree to which they’re scrambling to shut people up,” Howard says.

Amadee Braxton, IVAW’s Philadelphia-based director of organizational development, suggests that Madden may have come under attack because of his leadership in organizing the Appeal for Redress. That petition to Congress, signed by hundreds of active-duty service members, called earlier this year for an immediate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq.

green muscle shirt and Marine Corps camouflage pants with his name stitched on a flap above the right rear pocket. It was his similar regalia at the March protest that led to the threat against Kokesh’s honorable discharge.

Madden has been equally outspoken and visible in his opposition to what he has described as “the 4-year war crime” perpetrated by the United States in Iraq.

“Our protests will not end this war,” Madden declared in a March 19 speech outside the Pentagon on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. “Only our tangible resistance, our determined risk-taking

But IVAW member Adam Kokesh, who is facing charges similar to Madden’s, did take part in the Memorial Day Weekend escapade in New York and was willing to speak about the Marine Corps’ actions against himself and Madden.

Kokesh is a 25-year-old reservist from New Mexico who was honorably discharged from active service last November. He says “intimidation” is the Marines’ purpose in “harassing” him and Madden. “They’re not going to succeed in scaring people already committed to the cause,” Kokesh promises. “But what’s happening to us could have a chilling effect on vets and active-service people not yet involved” in antiwar activities. He notes, for example, that he could be forced to repay college tuition financed by the military.

Back in Vermont, IVAW member Matt Howard, who also served in

Braxton also points to Madden and Kokesh’s planned involvement in a “Bring the War Home” bus tour of 20 East Coast military bases this summer. That agitation might be construed by the Marines as a further indication of Madden’s “disloyalty,” Braxton says.

Kokesh has been ordered to attend a June 4 Marine Corps hearing in Kansas City on charges that he violated military law by wearing his uniform in the March demonstration and by “disrespecting a superior officer.” The latter accusation results, Kokesh says, from an email message he sent to a Marine major in response to an earlier notification that this officer was investigating Kokesh’s involvement in IVAW protests.

“I concluded my reply to the major by telling him to go fuck himself,” Kokesh explains.

It appears that Madden has not yet been scheduled for a similar hearing. “They messed with the wrong vet,” Kokesh declared as he prepared to join eight other Iraq war veterans in Sunday’s roving series of street theater enactments. He was wearing an olive-

and our bold civil disobedience can deliver a message capable of reaching our paralyzed nation.”

Sunday-morning strollers in Central Park were assailed with that message as Kokesh and the eight other partially uniformed vets recreated a combat patrol in Iraq. The men moved warily in formation, sometimes crouching into firing position with their arms positioned as though they were pointing rifles. Suddenly they sprang into a sprint and bear-hugged a few white-shirted “civilians” who screamed in terror as they were thrown to the ground. These IVAW collaborators were forced to lie face down in the Central Park dirt with white plastic bags tied over their heads, their wrists pinned behind their backs with white plastic tape.

“Shut up! Don’t move!” the vets yelled at their captives as passersby looked on with expressions of fear and befuddlement.

Meanwhile, IVAW volunteers handed out pamphlets explaining what was happening and urging active opposition to the war. �

TRADE

Labor Department Links Free Trade to Vermont Job Losses

BY KEVIN J. KELLEY

VERMONT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; One of the pillars of the Douglas administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic development strategy turns out to be made of cardboard. Rather than generating abundant opportunities for Vermont workers, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plunge into the global marketplace is resulting in extensive loss of livelihoods.

Free-trade agreements cost Vermont nearly 1700 jobs in the past three years, the state Labor Department reported last week. And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more: The business sectors that account for nearly all of Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exports suffered a combined loss of about 9000 jobs between 2000 and 2005. That means one of every five Vermonters employed by export-oriented companies was thrown out of work as the state got pounded by the forces of globalization.

These figures were requested by the Vermont Commission on International Trade and State Sovereignty â&#x20AC;&#x201D; three months ago. The Douglas administration delayed release of the damning data until the state legislature had adjourned in order to avert a political firestorm, suggests Dan Brush, a trade union leader who serves on the commission.

Chittenden County State Sen. Ginny Lyons, the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-chair, says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;astoundedâ&#x20AC;? by the findings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard so much from the business community that international trade is going to save Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy,â&#x20AC;? Lyons observes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing the opposite.â&#x20AC;?

The data on trade-related job losses indicates that Gov. James Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; planned prospecting trip to China next month will

Today, the paychecks of about 78,000 Vermont workers are drawn to at least a small degree on their companiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; involvement in foreign trade, Barbieri says. He acknowledges, however, that a single company â&#x20AC;&#x201D; IBM â&#x20AC;&#x201D; accounts for roughly 80 percent of Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s export-linked economic activity.

Doug Hoffer, an economic consultant who conducts studies for the Peace and Justice Center, agrees that international trade does provide good jobs for some Vermonters. Legislator Lyons holds that view as well, noting that Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; efforts to capitalize on Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing investments in environmental-engineering technology â&#x20AC;&#x153;could prove very lucrative for a few Vermonters.â&#x20AC;? But, she points out, Vermont firms that land clean-up contracts in China will most likely hire Chinese workers, producing few or no employment opportunities back home.

Hoffer says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprised by the data on job losses, because the increased mobility of capital allows corporations to fatten revenues and trim expenditures by shifting production to low-wage countries. Despite all the attendant risks and shortcomings, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not suggesting that Vermont companies shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trade,â&#x20AC;? Hoffer says. But he warns that the state â&#x20AC;&#x153;should be prepared for the downs as well as the ups of the global market, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of downs.â&#x20AC;?

One of every five Vermonters employed by export-oriented companies was thrown out of work as the state got pounded by the forces of globalization. be â&#x20AC;&#x153;a waste of time and resources,â&#x20AC;? Brush declares.

He finds it â&#x20AC;&#x153;outrageous,â&#x20AC;? he adds, that the Vermont Chamber of Commerce has been operating a trade-development office in Shanghai for the past three years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be a lot better if we worked on establishing a strong creative economy in Vermont instead of spending money on international trips when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proven that international trade is very whimsical,â&#x20AC;?

Brush continues.

Other players and analysts are skeptical of the Labor Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numbers.

Chris Barbieri, director of the state chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shanghai office, says Vermont has no choice but to participate in the global economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That train left the station some years ago,â&#x20AC;? Barbieri remarks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad we were on it when it left.â&#x20AC;?

Barbieri says that in maintaining a trade-promotion office in China, Vermont companies are making a modest investment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; much less than $200,000 a year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that could yield big dividends.

But the head of the chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Asia division says he has no statistics on job gains in Vermont attributable to his networking efforts in Shanghai. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the sale,â&#x20AC;? explains Barbieri, who lived in China for most of the past three years but now spends three-quarters of his time in Vermont. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We set up the environment so others can make the sale. And private businesses donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually reveal how well they do in overseas markets.â&#x20AC;?

Short-term job losses should not lead to â&#x20AC;&#x153;absolute conclusionsâ&#x20AC;? about Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s export opportunities, Barbieri adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to look at it over the long haul in assessing exports and jobs.â&#x20AC;?

examine your thoughts.

Vermont officials and business leaders should respond to these dynamics with eyes wide open, Hoffer advises. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This state accounts for 0.2 percent of the U.S. economy, and every other state is trying to do the same thing we are by looking for trade opportunities in huge markets like China. Imagining weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re somehow positioned to do a lot in China is just ludicrous.â&#x20AC;?

Hoffer emphasizes that the Douglas administration must also â&#x20AC;&#x153;stop giving away our sovereignty.

The free-trade agreements that the governor has made Vermont a party to are making it harder to use tools to develop our own economy.â&#x20AC;?

Lyons points out that free-trade agreements such as NAFTA make Vermont potentially vulnerable to rulings that would prevent it from favoring local companies when making state purchasing decisions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All it would take is an objection from another nation saying weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving preferential treatment to a Vermont company. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d then have to open up to purchasing from companies in other countries,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happened yet,â&#x20AC;? Lyons adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and it may never happen.â&#x20AC;?

But to better safeguard Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic assets, Lyons wants the legislature to have an equal say to the governor in deciding whether the state should enter into free-trade agreements. The commission she co-chairs will most likely push for such a sharing of responsibility, Lyons indicates. ďż˝

GRAZING SCAM? Reading the article on the carbon-offset scheme that was outlined in “Offbeat Offset” [May 16], I searched in vain for an assessment of the impacts that the cows themselves were having on greenhouse-gas production but found none. Ruminants such as cattle are prodigious emitters of methane, a potent greenhouse gas — 25 times as potent as carbon dioxide. I was absolutely floored to read that the folks at Cimmaron Farm are attempting to “sell” offsets of the production of greenhouse gases made by others while engaging in adding their own emissions of such to our atmosphere.

While it is true that soil does have the potential to serve as a “carbon sink” and that our soils, which have been widely depleted of organic matter through poor farming practices, have a lot of potential to regain lost organic matter and thus store carbon, it floors me to find that anyone would actually try to “sell” the grazing of such land by methane-emitting cattle to others in order to supposedly soak up their emissions.

While intensive grazing will help build soil organic matter, it would be interesting to calculate if in fact Cimmaron Farm is even sequestering any carbon at all when one takes into account the methane production of their cows along with the emissions produced by the other farmrelated operations. Playing to the guilt felt by those trying to atone for their SUV driving/ Disney vacation/AC use by such dubious practices is at best a scam and might even be counterproductive. While there is room for serious research in methods of carbon sequestration in soil such as “terra preta” and the use of mulch/no-till and other methods, getting paid to do what you do anyway (graze your cows) is not a credible path.

FOOD FREQUENCY Thanks for the interview with Lisa Rubin about her radio show “Food for Thought” [“Sound Bites,” May 16]. I have to note, however, that this is not “Vermont’s only regular cuisinethemed audio show.” WMRW 95.1 FM, the community radio station of the Mad River Valley, airs “The Dinner Hour” with host Robin McDermott every Tuesday from 5-6 p.m. It’s replayed Saturday mornings.

The show focuses on cooking and eating healthy, local foods, and hosts a wide variety of guests including farmers, chefs, food producers and more.

BREAK THE CYCLE I am writing in opposition to certain phrases in Peter Freyne’s column for the week of May 16 [“Inside Track” — “O’Reilly Does Vermont”]. When discussing the impeachment resolutions, he states, “Without justice, they argue, how can there ever be peace?” and follows this with “Good point.” Peter, it is sentiments exactly like the one you expressed that perpetuate the cycle of violence, not end it.

The situation in Israel-Palestine has continually worsened as both sides feel the need to seek justice for the death of a loved one. Countries such as South Africa and Rwanda have been successful in moving on from their tragedies only through community reconciliation projects that focus on the future — not a search for blame and justice.

Whether the actions of Bush and Cheney prove to be impeachable offenses is irrelevant. Our country should work to find solutions to the problems that this administration has created, not focus on the perpetuating cycle of blame. The perpetual search for blame will never lead us to peaceful answers to the real problems that plague us as a nation and a world.

AIDING AND ABETTING Hiding political statements under the guise of writing a culinary column [“Real Mexican,” April 25] is deceptive; not showing the illegals’ faces is probably a crime under federal law since you are aiding and abetting the illegal entry of aliens into the country, and referring to a Mexican woman’s child as “a legal U.S. resident” is deceptive journalism: The child is an anchor baby who was had to insure the continued residency and receipt of benefits by the “parents.” They have been here far too long, and, lo and behold, when their “anchor town” has to educate the child bilingually, or fails to do so and gets sued for six different kinds of “discrimination,” and the parents are probably collecting six different types of benefits from WIC to food stamps to an SSI check for ADD for the “medical disease” of the anchor baby, and so on.

The Mexicans were sharing a private joke at how stupid your writer is. In any other country they would be in jail.

The United States is called “el grande puta,” the big whore, by the folks from south of the Rio Grande.

ome things require a full week. Like when God decided to create the world.

No way that gets done in just a day or two. Rushing the thing, He or She might have forgotten the amphibians, or light.

Much like God, the University of Vermont administrators have understood that their graduating seniors need a similar stretch of time — a sanctioned interregnum, if you will — in which to process the delicate, often painful and always unnerving transition from student to civilian life. When you consider that most of these young men and women have been attending one school or another continuously since they were 6, an official period of decommissioning makes a lot of sense.

Hence, “Senior Week” — the seven days bracketed by final exams and graduation day. Amidst the array of frivolous scheduled events — bowling night, ferry cruises, drive-in movies — Senior Week is an opportunity for serious reflection about the major stuff, such as career and relationships. Essentially, it’s all about the Big F: the Future.

As we cleared the downtown lights, I could see my passenger was upset, fuming over something.

I’ve been a cabbie witness to this process for more than 25 years.

Midweek found me taxiing a grad to his apartment on Chase Street. Most of the student housing areas are closer to campus, but Chase Street is a one-block hub of student life abutting the Winooski border. As we cleared the downtown lights, I could see my passenger was upset, fuming over something. I asked him what was going on. More precisely, I asked, “What’s up?” This way he could just what’s-up me back, or really answer if he was so inclined.

“Oh, it’s this girl. She was, like, gonna come back to the apartment with me, but I guess she hooked up with some random guy.”

That’s not good, I thought. I said, “We’re talking about your girlfriend here?”

“Nope — she’s, like, my good friend.

We’ve been hanging out since we were freshmen. We met in friggin’ orientation, dude. This just pisses me off. What should I do?”

“Um, this is just your ‘friend,’ you say?”

“Oh, I know,” he says, pulling out his cellphone. “I’ll text her, something like, ‘Thanks, babe.’”

I watched him in the rearview as he tapped out the message on the tiny keyboard. Having never texted anyone in my entire life, all I could think of was how

“Yeah,” he said, “on Sunday.”

History Gets Dramatic Treatment at the Rokeby Some 30-odd people seated on metal folding chairs are crammed into a small room at the Rokeby Museum, and more are arriving.

Director Jane Williamson greets visitors at the front door, her ear glued to a portable phone. “Is David on the road somewhere, ‘trapped’ in traffic?” She chuckles at her little joke, but that doesn’t disguise the slight urgency in her voice. Trapped is the name of the play all these people are here to see on a rainy Sunday afternoon,

Nowadays, a Hollywood film set in Vermont is just as likely to have been shot in, say, Romania.

But back in the grainy, early days of cinema, in 1916, when the national Progressive Party made a film called A Vermont Romance, the state was the star.

The Center for Media and Democracy will screen A Vermont Romance on June 6 in conjunction with Preservation Burlington.

Executive Director Gweneth Langdon calls it “the oldest film set in Vermont.”

The 38-minute film tells the tale of a farm girl who moves to the big city — that’s Burlington.

Once there, “she forgoes the love of her life to marry a wealthy man,” says Meghan O’Rourke of Channel 17/CCTV, who runs the monthly movie night.

Marge Allard of Preservation Burlington explains that the film was made by Vermont Advance newspaper, an organ of Teddy Roosevelt’s Bull Moose Party, with the aim of upping its subscriptions. The paper held a statewide contest for loyal readers, with movie roles as prizes:

This play was a way of making things real.

DAVID BUDBILL

and David is David Budbill, the Wolcott playwright who will talk about the show. Which is scheduled to begin in 10 minutes.

Moments later, Williamson pops her head into the former parlor of Vermont’s most famous abolitionist, Rowland T. Robinson, to confirm that Budbill is trapped — held up by a Memorial Day parade in Hinesburg. “But he’ll be here soon,” she assures, “if he drives fast.”

The mostly senior crowd doesn’t seem worried. Many appear to know one another, and the comforting buzz of pleasantries fills the room. A seventysomething woman, adorned with a greenand-yellow straw hat that matches her pantsuit, exclaims to a friend, “I went to an Ultimate

awe. Five hundred thousand to go. The goal is to provide the 200-plus-year-old Robinson home — an important stop on the Underground Railroad — with a 21st-century facility, to offer space and audiovisual sophistication to programs like this one.

Today’s entertainment is free, Williamson says pointedly. The donation box is in the back room, along with the refreshments.

At showtime, there’s still no sign of Budbill. “Let’s go ahead and watch this,” suggests Williamson, “because David was going to mostly talk afterwards anyway.” “This” is not an actual play but a DVD of a staged reading of Trapped that was performed last fall at Waterfront Theatre in Burlington.

Volunteers pull down the old-

fashioned blinds to darken the room, and all eyes fasten expectantly on the elevated television monitor. Seconds later, Budbill slips in quietly and stands at the back.

Williamson appears again, on-screen, to introduce the play, which “is about what it’s like to be boxed in,” she explains. Budbill based Trapped on three letters concerning a fugitive slave named Jesse, who lived and worked at Rokeby around 1837. What the documents don’t divulge, Budbill made up — call it historical license. The other characters in the story are Mingo, an older freed slave who oversees the Robinson farm; Jesse’s owner in North Carolina, Ephraim Elliott; and Robinson — whose ideology, ironically, prevents him from providing Jesse with all the help he needs.

And therein lies a surprising twist on the play’s title. Jesse has saved $150 to buy his freedom from the trap of slavery, but Robinson refuses to loan him the additional $150 Elliott demands, because the devout Quaker doesn’t believe in “buying” humans.

Not surprisingly, Jesse disdains this quibble in Robinson’s principles. “What’s wrong with white people?” he laments.

Slaveholders or abolitionists, he observes, “All they think about is money!”

Soon Jesse disappears, presumably to Canada, and the rest of his story disappears with him.

What is known is that Robinson later altered his beliefs, perhaps based on this incident, and

AN ECONOMIZING STRATEGY ENACTED IN OSTENTATIOUS POVERTY

When asked about the curious title of her new play â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ostentatious Poverty (An Economical Quartet) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rachel Perlmeter explains it by relating a bit of family history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was inspired by a phrase that was coined when my mother was young and running around with a group of precocious bohemian types,â&#x20AC;? reveals the Burlingtonbased playwright. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It captures a mindset that conveys the crux of the problem for creative types â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that creation might outdistance their resources.â&#x20AC;?

Spending beyond oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s means is a precarious norm in the modern world, and certainly not limited to artistes. Perlmeter wraps this reality in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;madcap, absurdist play of ideasâ&#x20AC;? that is simultaneously serious and silly, she says.

Economic theory is not known for its humor, nor are game and chaos theories, which the play also references. But Perlmeter insists the premise is funny: A pair of â&#x20AC;&#x153;bohemian nonconformists with champagne habits and limited meansâ&#x20AC;? collide with a pair of â&#x20AC;&#x153;malevolent economists.â&#x20AC;? Capers and get-rich-quick schemes ensue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wrestling with a lot of weighty content,â&#x20AC;? Perlmeter concedes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also rollicking â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working properly.â&#x20AC;?

Ostentatious Poverty is being presented as a work-in-progress on June 3 at the FlynnSpace. It

follows Perlmeterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staging of Marguerite Durasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; avant-garde drama India Song last fall at the University of Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trinity campus. Now a guest artist in the theater department, Perlmeter brings serious playwright and directing chops to the Green Mountain stage: Her writings

banter and jazz are both essential.

UVM music prof and flutist Patricia Julien composed a score for the work that is performed live and interacts with the dialogue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal was to invent a methodology in rehearsal wherein the actors are almost scatting at points, and the musicians are

have been developed by the Playwrightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center in Minneapolis, the Soho Think Tank and Mabou Mines in New York, and at the New Work Festival at the University of Texas at Austin.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Perlmeter earned her Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Theatre History and Criticism.

She received a Fulbright in 2001 to work in experimental Russian theater in Moscow, and is developing an international arts program in Ecuador. She moved to Burlington in 2005 when her husband, Ernesto Capello, took a position in UVMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history department.

Perlmeter is drawn to heady concepts, but she employs word play and music to communicate them. In Ostentatious Poverty,

almost speaking,â&#x20AC;? Perlmeter explains. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no coincidence the show was scheduled during Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Discover Jazz Festival.

Julien performs with her husband, guitarist Alex Julien; bassist Jeremy Harlos; and drummer Skeeter Camera. The young â&#x20AC;&#x153;bohemiansâ&#x20AC;? are played by UVM students Allissa Shapiro and Adam Gould; the older economists by Margot Harrison and Shawn Lipenski. Sounds like this play gives new meaning to the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;spending time.â&#x20AC;? ďż˝

A highlight of Trapped is François Clemmonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stirring a cappella rendition of â&#x20AC;&#x153;There Is a Balm in Gilead.â&#x20AC;? The opera-trained artist-in-residence at Middlebury College also plays the role of Mingo. Jesse, who has a song of his own, is no slouch in the vocal department, either: Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played by Eric Brooks, a singer in Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s professional chamber chorus Counterpoint and a former cast member of Budbillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play Judevine.

The rest of the play is spoken.

Curses, Foiled Again Sheriff ’s deputies investigating an armed robbery at a gas station in Orlando, Fla., noticed that the robber had left a gun case against a display rack. Inside the case, deputies found a receipt for a new AK47 assault rifle made out to Eric Cunningham, 18. They found Cunningham at his apartment, located a few miles from the gas station, with a loaded assault rifle and a shotgun.

the straight dope

by CECIL ADAMS

all worthwhile human knowledge

Dear Cecil, In Life of Pi, Yann Martel describes a floating island of vegetation with its own ecosystem that could be boarded and had animals living on it out in the middle of the ocean. It seems far-fetched, but does anything like this exist?

Tim M., UK Not to deprecate the novelist’s art, Tim, but Life of Pi also speaks of carnivorous islands whose trees bear fruit containing human teeth. Mini terrestrial ecosystems adrift in midocean are likewise too cool to be real. However, floating islands of more modest scope do exist, typically in freshwater where there’s less wave and tidal action.

One example is the peat batteries of the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia and Florida. These form when large masses of peat lying on the floor of the swamp accumulate enough methane and carbon dioxide to become buoyant and rise to the surface.

Sometimes more than a quarter-acre in extent and up to 6 feet thick, peat batteries can form a base for shrubs and even large trees.

Floating islands aren’t limited to swamps — Ohio has its famous Cranberry Bog of Buckeye Lake, a 50-acre mass of moss formed when the floor of a valley that was flooded to create a canal reservoir in the 1830s broke loose and floated to the surface.

Besides supporting the eponymous cranberry bushes, Cranberry Bog also hosts flowers, trees, and insectivorous plants, and is stable enough that folks can hike on it. The acre-sized floating island of Island Pond in Springfield, Massachusetts, moves around regularly, attaching itself to different parts of the lake as wind, waves or humans drive it. As this example suggests, tussocks, as floating islands are sometimes called, can be a royal pain in the drainpipe — they can block waterways, destroy lakefront property values, and clog power-plant water intakes.

Loktak Lake in India, covered by yards-thick mats of drifting vegetation called phumdi, contains Keibul Lamjao National Park. This floating wildlife preserve is home to more than 100 endangered Manipur brow-antlered deer, locally known as sangai, or “dancing deer,” because of the balletic gait necessitated by the island’s soggy footing. Though the deer are doing OK for the moment, the habitat that sustains them is threatened by the manipulation of water levels to run a nearby hydroelectric plant.

Some floating islands are human-made. For centuries the Uros tribe of Peru has been constructing islas flotantes on Lake Titicaca, reputedly to escape subjugation by the Inca and other tribes. Made from

ii ii

bundles of totora reeds grown in and around the lake,2x2-MDallergy051607.indd 1 the islands literally support hundreds of families of fishermen.

In 1942 eccentric genius Geoffrey Pyke and Lord Mountbatten of Great Britain proposed what became known as Project Habakkuk: a plan to construct an immense floating island to transport fighters, longrange bombers, and artillery for use against Axis forces. No mere raft, the Habakkuk would have been 2000 feet long and 300 feet wide, with nearly 20 times the displacement of the modern aircraft carrier Nimitz. Design specs called for the megavessel to be built of pykrete, a mixture of 14 percent wood pulp or sawdust and 86 percent ice, making it theoretically 2x2-personals-generic.indd 1 unsinkable due to its size and inherent buoyancy.

Crazy as it sounds, the scheme might have worked — pykrete is cheap and strong and melts slowly. Pyke and Mountbatten got permission to build a 1000ton prototype chilled by an on-board 1-horsepower motor and successfully floated it on Patricia Lake, Alberta. By then, however, the Allies were doing well enough with conventional weapons that the project went no further.

Since at least 1996 an urban legend has circulated about a giant reef in the South Pacific, supposedly nearly 60 feet thick, made up of millions of discarded condoms. The condom reef is bunk, but a circular current called the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, located between the west coast of the U.S. and Hawaii, has created a floating collection of trash estimated by some scientists to be at least the size of Texas. Though the 3 million tons of manmade debris is spread too thin to be considered an island, it 2x3-Hirchak053007.indd 1 remains an ecological and potentially a navigational hazard.

Finally we have, OK, not a floating island, but I’d never forgive myself if I didn’t mention the 29,000 rubber ducks, turtles, frogs and beavers that pitched over the side of a Chinese cargo ship steaming for Tacoma in 1992. Some washed up soon enough on the coast of Alaska, but researchers predicted a portion of the remainder would pass through the Bering Strait, across the Arctic Circle and into the Cast your North Atlantic, making landfall in England and ballot on the east coast of the U.S. by 2003. Despite media June 6. warnings of the bath-toy armada’s impending arrival, only spotty sightings have been reported, so maybe it was all BS. But who knows? When the Fourth of July holiday approaches, terrified Long Island beachgoers may yet run ashore screaming, “Duck!”

Slave wages and unsafe housing — exposing the unsavory side of cheap Chinese in Vermont

by Ken Picard A lanky old Chinese man sits cross-legged on a porch sipping soup from a bowl, his elbow and wrist folded on one knee like an origami bird. The English words on his T-shirt, which he cannot read, say, “Engineering a brighter future.”

Earlier generations who occupied this once-stately, three-story Victorian in Essex Junction probably sat in this very same spot, listening to the chirping of crickets on hot summer nights. Today, the porch is littered with discarded bed frames, hanging underwear, a cardboard box of warped record albums and a sunbleached disconnect notice from Green Mountain Power. A different chirping — not from any insect — comes from inside the house. It’s the sound smoke detectors make before their batteries die.

Fortune Cookie in the University Mall in South Burlington. Yuki (who asked that her last name not be used) contacted Seven Days to complain that she was being underpaid and expected to live in an overcrowded and unsanitary apartment.

Follow-up visits to the boarding house offered a disquieting glimpse into how its residents, all of them Chinese, live. They either don’t understand or have learned to ignore the beeping smoke detectors — a frightening prospect, considering how many people sleep here each night, and under what conditions.

Inside the front door, numerous pairs of shoes — men’s and women’s — are parked at the foot of a staircase beneath some hanging laundry. The carpet is threadbare. What was once a first-floor living room

iar Tibetan dialect, and they refuse to even unlock their door.

There are two bathrooms in the house; only one has a door. The other, at the back of a mildewed and sparsely furnished kitchen downstairs, has a window curtain strung across it for privacy. It’s the only curtain in the house. Most of the windows are either bare or covered with old, yellowed Chinese newspapers.

Back out on the front porch, the “old” man — actually, he’s only “about 40,” he says — warily answers questions in his native language. Originally from Tai Shan in southern China, he’s been in the United States “for a long time,” but in Vermont just four months.

Like the 20 or so other people with whom he shares this “boarding house,” he says he works at several of the

Meet the newest generation of Vermont wage slaves, the Chinese restaurant workers who bus tables, refill pots of hot tea, and stand for hours on end over flaming woks cooking up General Tso — a “traditional” Chinese chicken dish named after a ruthless soldier from the Qing dynasty. Poorly educated and largely unable to speak English, many are entirely dependent upon their employer for food, housing, transportation and other basic necessities. Presumably, they’re also largely ignorant of state and federal minimum-wage laws, fair housing standards and building safety codes, which leaves them vulnerable to abuse, exploitation and dangerous living conditions.

Vermont’s Mexican dairy workers aren’t the only immigrant group laboring in cultural isolation. These restaurant employees, whose families and friends often still live in New York’s Chinatown or in China, appear to know little, if anything, about the town or state in which they work and live. Many say they’ve been in Vermont a very short time — six months or less. And, according to one expert who’s extensively studied the U.S. Chinese restaurant industry, plenty will leave shortly after arriving.

But still other workers will stay here for years, enduring harsh conditions in order to support their families back in China, or perhaps even to pay off a human smuggling debt. This highly organized employment network is kept afloat by poor Chinese villagers pursuing the American dream. Asked about his current situation, the Chinese man on the porch stares blankly. In a monotone voice, he mutters, “It doesn’t really matter. It’s work.”

Lunchtime is busy at the East Orchid Chinese

ABOVE: THE COMPANY “WORKER” VAN

The front door of the house is always unlocked; evidently, the lock has been broken for months. A sign, in English, directs FedEx to make its deliveries in the rear. Another, in handwritten Chinese, offers a clue as to who lives here, and why: It translates, “Employees, pay attention! Turn light out at 11.

Please don’t scream, talk loud or make noise because it will disturb the neighbors.” The notice is signed, “Orchid Restaurant.”

Seven Days first visited this boarding house at 2 Park Terrace — behind Ming’s of Essex — in midMarch at the invitation of one of its previous residents. Yuki, a 25-year-old woman who has since left the state, was employed at the Orchid Restaurant in South Burlington, one of six Chinese restaurants in Chittenden County owned by Sheun Lai Poon and his younger brother, Yun Poon. Their holdings include East Orchid in Williston, Ming’s of Essex, Ming’s of Colchester, Ming’s of Burlington, and

has been pressed into service as an extra bedroom.

On one bunk bed, a youngish Chinese man wakes from an afternoon nap, mumbles something in Mandarin and waves away his visitors. Like the man on the front porch, he doesn’t speak English and is reluctant to talk to strangers, even one with a Chinese-language interpreter in tow.

Upstairs, four small bedrooms make up a cramped warren of bunk beds — five or six to a room — which are cluttered with food, clothing and other personal belongings. A 10-gallon “Kikkoman” bucket sits atop one bunk to catch water that leaks through the ceiling.

According to one resident of the room, the dripping persisted for two weeks in March, forcing two women to share one small cot. The tenant claims her landlord ignored repeated requests to fix the problem.

Through a closed bedroom door, the interpreter tries, unsuccessfully, to converse with a couple in Chinese. But the man and woman speak an unfamil-

Asian eateries run by the Poon brothers.

Town and village records confirm that 2 Park Terrace, and another residence at 9-11 Park Street, are both owned by a company that belongs to Lai Poon, who is also listed as the president of Ming’s Incorporated.

In subsequent interviews, which were conducted in English or with a certified Chinese-language interpreter present, other residents of the house told stories similar to the old man’s. They all spoke of working exceptionally long hours — 12 hours per day, six days per week — at minimum or even below-legal wages. Many said they work only for tips, with a percentage of their earnings skimmed by the management. Though their employer provides free room and board, they claim to get no breaks, sick days, health insurance or other benefits.

Moreover, several complained that if a worker quits or gets fired, he or she may be evicted from the house, sometimes the very same day.

buffet in Williston. On a recent weekday afternoon four men in crew cuts, black boots and combat fatigues — Vermont National Guardsmen, presumably — make their way through the buffet line, scooping up dollops of lo mein, spare ribs and pork fried rice. A heavyset older couple bellies up to the bar for seconds, or thirds, of beef with broccoli, General Tso’s chicken and, incongruously, meatballs and potatoes in butter sauce.

As the guardsmen return to their table, a Chinese waiter in his twenties brings them beverages. Like the other waiters scurrying about, he’s polite and deferential, but that probably won’t do much to improve his tip.

Buffet customers can be justifiably tight-fisted with gratuities for waitstaff that do little more than freshen their drinks and bring the fortune cookies and check at the end of the meal.

“Andy” speaks English fairly well but seems afraid of being seen with a reporter. He’s only been in Vermont two or three months, he says, and isn’t happy with the pay or the housing arrangements. He lives in the boarding house at 2 Park Terrace in Essex Junction, and confirms that about 20 other workers do, too, though that number can change from week to week.

How does Andy get paid? He looks around to ensure no one is listening. “No check, only tips,” he whispers.

The question is repeated to ensure he understood it. He >> 26A

does. Andy claims he gets paid cash each night, but his boss gets 1.5 percent of the total take. He doesn’t understand why.

Asked if he could be interviewed more extensively during his break, he says he doesn’t get one. After work, then? Andy shakes his head. He’s been there since 10 a.m. and won’t get home until 10:30 or 11 p.m. “Too late,” he says. A Seven Days observer confirmed those hours by following the passenger van that ferries the workers between the boarding house and the restaurant.

On another afternoon at East Orchid, a Chinese interpreter strikes up a conversation with a baby-faced Asian woman who’s bussing tables. She stands several feet away from us, as though trying to avoid contagion. She says she’s one of five girls living in the

It must be emphasized that Seven Days could not confirm the veracity of these employees’ allegations, or their immigration status.

All claimed to be in the country legally. According to the Vermont Department of Labor, no wage claim or performance violation has ever been filed against Yun Poon, Sheun Lai Poon, Ming’s Incorporated or any of the six restaurants named above.

Reached by phone at East Orchid, Yun Poon denied that employees of the restaurant work only for tips. Asked if they’re paid minimum wages, with the proper deductions for taxes, unemployment and social security, he said, “Of course.” Why would his workers say otherwise? “I don’t know,” he said.

It is possible that these foreignborn workers, who speak little or

Additional fines can also be levied for improper recordkeeping.

Typically, though, the state only investigates a business if an employee files a complaint, and Connelley is one of just two people in Vermont who conducts those investigations. Obviously, if workers don’t speak English well and/or don’t know the law, it’s highly unlikely they would go through official channels to blow the whistle — and they may be afraid to do so if they’re in the country illegally.

They needn’t be apprehensive, though, according to Connelley.

Her job description doesn’t include checking green cards or verifying citizenship papers. “I don’t ask questions about their immigration status,” she says.

The girl, who’s 19, has been in Vermont for about two months, but insists she’s in the country legally. Does she like Vermont?

She smiles and says in Chinese, “I’m always here in the restaurant.

I never get to go anywhere. How would I know if I like it?”

Another waiter agrees to be interviewed through an interpreter, though his English is actually better than Andy’s. “Lee” has been in the United States since he was a teen — he’s now in his thirties — and has family in New York State, whom he visits several times each month. Lee won’t say what he gets paid — he tells the interpreter he doesn’t want trouble from his boss. But after an extended back-and-forth in Cantonese, the interpreter summarizes the conversation: “He gets a pay stub, but it’s blank. He just makes tips.”

Lee, too, lives in the Essex Junction flophouse. “It’s not a home, just a place for us to sleep,” he says in English. “If boss want to be asshole, they can ask you to leave next day. It’s a shit job.

Nobody happy.”

no English and have very little schooling, don’t understand how they get paid or how much their employer deducts from their earnings for taxes, meals and housing.

Nevertheless, all the workers were interviewed separately, at different times and places, and always out of earshot of one another.

Kelly Connelley is the performance and compliance unit chief with the Vermont Department of Labor. She explains that under state law, tipped employees must earn on average at least $7.53 per hour or their employer must make up the difference. An employer can deduct no more than $19.85 per week for housing, and no more than $68.57 per week for room and board. Moreover, employees must get an itemized list of those deductions each pay period, regardless of whether they’re paid by check or in cash. None of these workers mentioned such an itemized list or pay stub.

The penalty for violating these laws can be steep, Connelley adds.

An employer found guilty of paying employees less than minimum wage can be hit with a $100 fine per employee for every day that employee was underpaid.

number of lawsuits against employers who ignore labor laws suggests foreign-born workers across the country — and their attorneys and activists — are starting to get that message.

In Vermont, Connelley says that if she discovers a wage and performance violation has occurred, she’ll go back and “reconstruct” those hours and pay those employees, wherever they now live. “I track ’em down,” she says. “Last year, I paid wages to Romania.”

If the Chinese workers in Essex Junction have escaped the attention of state and local officials, their living quarters have not. Town and village officials have known for years about Poon’s two apartment houses: the “boarding house” at 2 Park Terrace; and the other, at 9-11 Park Street, which is zoned for commercial, not residential, use.

Both houses are practically in sight of village offices. In fact, Town Health Officer Jerry Firkey has records showing that “unsanitary conditions” and other housing code violations were first documented at 2 Park Terrace in >> 28A

Estate Appraisals We Buy and Sell:

1998. Four years ago, Firkey asked the owners to tear down a decrepit barn on the property.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still there today.

On October 28, 2005, a fireprevention inspection uncovered â&#x20AC;&#x153;numerous items identified that are a violation of the Vermont Fire Protection and Building Code.â&#x20AC;? Records indicate that 2 Park Terrace was cited repeatedly for violations that included inadequate smoke detectors, no carbon monoxide detectors or functional fire extinguishers, ungrounded electrical outlets in the kitchen and bathrooms, doors that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t properly fire rated, windows that couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be used for egress or rescue, peeling lead paint and padlocked bedroom doors that could prevent an escape.

Less serious, nuisance violations have also been documented over the years, including hazardous debris on the porch and dead fish in the yard. Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thenDepartment of Labor and Industry even cited the property once for building code violations and temporarily shut it down. Although town records also indicate that the house has since been renovated, many of those conditions were observed in the last few weeks.

That hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stopped landlord Lai Poon, who owns the buildings through Park Street Holding Company, from seeking to develop his properties.

On April 5, his company filed an application with the Essex Junction Planning Commission to build a $4.5 million, 91room LaQuinta Hotel on the site currently occupied by Mingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of Essex, 9-11 Park Street, 2 Park Terrace and two other adjacent lots.

In his April 5 staff notes on the application, Village Development Director Jeff Arango noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A major concern for the public health, safety and welfare is the lack of proper maintenance of the properties at 9-11 Park Street and 2 Park Terrace. Hazardous garbage and debris were evident on a recent walk through the property . . .

The applicant shall respond to this issue by stating how the proposed hotel will be managed and maintained properly when the current property has not been.â&#x20AC;?

Arango also noted that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aware the old camping supply building at 9-11 Park Street is being used as a residence, a zoning violation. Yet despite a long track record of violations, Arango told the planning commission, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are no violations pending at this time . . .â&#x20AC;?

When Seven Days spoke to Lai Poon at his Fortune Cookie restaurant in the mall, he admitted he owns the boarding houses in Essex Junction, but refused to discuss the LaQuinta Hotel deal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or any other aspects of his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clearly, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a history of neglect, to some degree, with the properties,â&#x20AC;? Arango later told Seven Days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If this [deal] falls apart, they can expect weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be investigating it for further violations.â&#x20AC;? Arango seemed

and gloom pervades the place.

On a bedroom wall in the Park Terrace boarding house, some past or present resident has scrawled two poems in Chinese on a sheet of loose-leaf paper.

One of them translates: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Together in the wind and rain behind the cold window, We are like families overseas, A person runs a 10,000-mile journey, We express our feelings together in this faraway land.â&#x20AC;?

At least one of the local Chinese restaurant workers interviewed for this story began his â&#x20AC;&#x153;10,000-mile journeyâ&#x20AC;? in Fuzhou City, the capital of Fujan

Province on the Chinese mainland just west of Taiwan.

According to Professor Kenneth Guest at New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Baruch College, Fuzhou â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or more precisely, the small farming and fishing villages that surround it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is a common departure point for what he calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;a vast and very well-organized human smuggling network that is constantly recruiting people to come here.â&#x20AC;?

Guest is author of the book God in Chinatown: Religion and Survival in New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Evolving Immigrant Community. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done extensive research in both China and New York City on the U.S. Chinese restaurant industry.

Whether or not the Essex Junction workers are here legally, he suspects that most of them came to Vermont through Chinatown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People on the street in the towns and villages [of China] all know somebody whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been here whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s told them a very positive story about how it was hard for four or five years,â&#x20AC;? Guest says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but they were able to pay off their fees and now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making enough money to build a house for the family in the village or send the kids to school.â&#x20AC;?

Chinatown, he says, is the East Coast hub that feeds workers to the more than 40,000

hours per day, six days per week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncommon for workers to keep those jobs for two months or less before getting burned out.

The living conditions that Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chinese workers describe sound classic, Guest says, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vary much from state to state. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s common for restaurant owners to provide their employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; housing, which can be deplorable. Nevertheless, many suffer through such conditions for years to pay off smuggling debts or to raise enough money to bring fellow family members here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s its own ethnic economy,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of the language issues and their lack of familiarity with the rest of American society, these people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have an ability to break out of it.â&#x20AC;?

Many donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever expect to, as one Chinese waiter in South Burlington remarked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We no have dreams,â&#x20AC;? he says in broken English. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why should we?

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so low. We know what we are.â&#x20AC;? ďż˝ Staff writer Mike Ives contributed to the reporting of this story.

Meanwhile, an air of sadness

Chinese restaurants throughout the United States. There, some 30 or so employment agencies offer jobs to new arrivals hungry for work. Inside each one is a large whiteboard that lists available jobs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; chefs, chef â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helpers, receptionists, busboys, waiters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as well as the pay and telephone area code of the restaurant. If a worker finds a suitable match, an interview is conducted there over the phone, for a fee of about $25 to $30. Fleets of vans leave directly from lower Manhattan, Guest explains, carrying workers as far south as Florida, as far west as Chicago, and as far north as Vermont. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked to have no idea where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been, even after theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been there for months,â&#x20AC;? Guest says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They may know the area code or the state they were in but not the city . . . I think most of them are pretty unprepared, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what leaves them so vulnerable.â&#x20AC;?

Typical pay for these jobs ranges from $1500 to $2500 per month, depending upon the work, Guest notes. Invariably, the hours are long â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 12 to 14

unaware that both properties were being used to house restaurant employees. When asked if he knows who lives there, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe they just rent it to people.â&#x20AC;?

Sanctify My Ride Soaking up the grease gospel with a veggie-car mechanic

ars: We love ’em. U.S. drivers burn about 60 million gallons of gasoline per day.

Almost everything about our lifestyle incorporates the automobile, from suburban homes to drive-thru burger joints.

But Americans are starting to realize their vehicular days are numbered. Reports suggest we’ve already reached “peak oil.” The last few weeks have brought another STORY flurry of record-high gas prices. And transportation emissions continue to conMIKE tribute to global warming.

IVES Vermont is ahead of the peak-oil curve, but only sort of. In 2000, the state had more than 14,000 miles of roads, and about half a million registered cars and IMAGE trucks. Legislators spend roughly twice as much on new highway construction as JEB they do on public transportation. There are still about 600 gas stations statewide, WALLACE- and the average Vermonter works 20 miles from home. So what’s with the car BRODEUR obsession? Must be a love-hate thing.

What’s it like to live and drive during the last gasp of the gas-guzzler era? From now through the Fourth of July, Seven Days will spotlight six car subcultures.

Chances are, they’ll be up in smoke before you can say, “Road trip!”

C

Mechanic Mark Penta has no environmental axe to grind. Around the time this race-car aficionado did his first “Greasecar” conversion, in 2001, vegetarian transport was only beginning to assume its place in the pantheon of renewable alternatives. Now, five years later, he finds himself at the forefront of an eco-revolution.

In case you haven’t heard, grease is in. Drivers the world over are scrambling to convert diesel cars to grease power — a.k.a. waste vegetable oil, or WVO. With a dozen employees, the Greasecar company, based in Florence, Massachusetts, could be the largest WVO-conversion operation in the country. Veggie car exhaust smells like French fries, but “greasers” don’t mind: They usually source the stuff pro bono from oil-rich restaurants. No armed conflict or cronyism required.

Penta, 37, is a licensed Greasecar technician. He spends half his week at the Massachusetts HQ offering tech support and the other half in Bethel, Vermont, where he works on veggie cars at the Gilead Garage. The shop perches atop a streambed in the middle of a stunning valley, several miles from the nearest gas station. Penta’s charming, two-story red cottage is across the street.

On a recent spring afternoon, Penta takes a break from tinkering to show me around his veg-mobile factory. He has short hair and a clean-shaven face.

When he looks up from an engine block through square glasses, his eyes stray, and I can tell he’s still preoccupied, Zen-like, with his task. Penta exudes “guy’s guy” energy — imagine Gary Snyder swilling beers on pit row at the Daytona 500.

Today the mechanic is standing by a sleek, electric-blue 2002 Volkswagen Jetta.

The car’s hood has been popped and its trunk gutted, as if for a drug bust.

In a good month, he’ll turn four diesel cars, typically Volkswagen or Mercedes models, into “veg” rides. At about $800 per job on top of a thousand-dollar kit, his services may sound expensive — but wannabe veg-o-philes are willing to fork over the green. Penta’s clients have come from as far as Nova Scotia and Virginia to pick up a converted car; he often retrieves them at the Amtrak station in nearby Randolph.

“We’re totally swamped,” Penta declares, wiping a grease-stained hand on his shorts.

How do Greasecars work? To illustrate the process, Penta points to an empty tire well in the Jetta’s trunk.

That’s where a 13-gallon veg tank will go. Grease gets pumped from here into the engine, where it’s filtered for impu-

rities, then siphoned through a fuel injector into the cylinders.

Driving on vegetable fuel may sound like a gimmick, but Penta’s work is highly technical and precise. As he meanders through the shop, he explains that each Greasecar kit has been specially designed to match the car make and model. “People sometimes put the wrong tanks in the wrong vehicles,” he

relates with a sigh. “I’ve seen plenty of disasters . . . People [who] know nothing about cars . . . buy some old diesel car, and they have nightmares.”

Penta pauses. “But we’re doing it pro,” he boasts. “It’s worth spending the extra time so people don’t have a problem in a year or two.”

Greasecars aren’t for everyone. First of all, you need to find a fuel source.

Most restaurateurs are happy to donate leftover grease, but that’s a messy transaction. Then there’s the risk of gunking your engine. Why? Grease can’t be left in fuel lines, or they’ll clog — like what happens when you dump bacon drippings down the sink. “I’ve had a tank clog up that ruined a vacation to the Jersey shore,” Penta attests.

Then he beats himself up over it.

“That was sloppy,” he admits, bowing his head. “It was my fault. I was real sloppy with my filtering . . .”

Fortunately, veg cars are calibrated to account for the clog factor. Greasecar kits include a computerized valve that switches a car’s fuel source to diesel at the beginning and end of each trip — a so-

called “purge.” That explains why even grease junkies need to fill up on fossil fuels from time to time — like, maybe every 2000 miles. The “purge” ritual also suggests there’s something a bit mystical in veg-o-philes’ grease obsession.

“People get way into this,” Penta says.

“I’m probably too into it — but there are certainly people out there like me.”

Enter the “Greasecar Forum.” Like any responsible subcultural institution, Greasecar has created an interactive web presence. Every day, the forum gets saturated with grease communiqués — and Penta, as site moderator, reads a ton of them. He estimates he spends about 10 hours a week on the site.

Comments on the “Greaseboard” are surprisingly thoughtful, with a strong whiff of the politically charged or greasily evangelical. Contributors with names such as “Ugly greasanova,” “Veggypig” and “Batteryboy” offer epic postings on a regular basis.

Judging by their web commentaries, many Greasecar aficionados could just as easily crush a beer can on their foreheads as sign up for a meditation class.

(���� )�����* (���� %�����+ & & & %������ (�����+ďż˝ Penta is a textbook exemplar. The mechanic asserts he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;born a car guy.â&#x20AC;? He went to automotive school in Colorado, and estimates heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owned about 45 cars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider myself an environmentalist,â&#x20AC;? he speculates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I go out to mingle with the redneck race crowd just the same.â&#x20AC;?

But ask Penta about renewable energy, and he chats about hybrids and emissions standards as if they were grocery items.

Before he got a salary and â&#x20AC;&#x153;bennysâ&#x20AC;? with Greasecar, he worked at Northern Power Systems, a windpower company in Waitsfield. He and his wife are â&#x20AC;&#x153;avid recyclers.â&#x20AC;?

As if to illustrate his own ideological paradox, Penta leads me out of the garage toward a blue, 1982 Mercedes 300TD wagon.

He explains that he bought it to accommodate his growing family.

Judging by the ski rack and plush leather interior, it looks like your average yuppie cruiser. Penta admits he likes to listen to books

beers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just a local guy from up the road, got a furnace running on grease.â&#x20AC;?

If Greasecar fanatics are a curious sort of new-age pilgrims, then Penta is their mild-mannered messiah. As Mike sidles out of his truck, Penta mentions that other neighbors have begun to embrace his veggie ways. In fact, given the recent surge in interest, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making a conscious effort to keep his car clientele local. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to work on more localizedâ&#x20AC;? fuel systems, declares Penta â&#x20AC;&#x201D; despite Greasecarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing automotive anti-empire.

As twilight bounces off the streambed below, Pentaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife pulls into the driveway with their 2-anda-half-year-old son in tow. Once set loose, the boy waddles up to Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grease tractor as if he owns the thing. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because he often drives it while sitting on Pentaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lap. As Mom hoists the little guy to the helm of the grass-muncher, Penta and his buddy talk trucks.

If Greasecar fanatics are a curious sort of new-age pilgrims, Mark Penta is their mild-mannered messiah. on tape while driving to Greasecar in Massachusetts. But then he reveals, popping the hood, that the wagon is actually a one-of-a-kind WVO prototype.

The engine is bursting with extra hoses and gadgets: timedelay widgets, an extra-special heat exchanger, high-tech veg filters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This [car] is like the Enterprise,â&#x20AC;?

Penta says proudly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like the grease-geek machine.â&#x20AC;?

On the other side of the barn, I notice two more obviously macho toys: a squat off-road Jeep and a green tractor. Neither vehicle would normally be associated with grease power by Pentaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clients, many of whom are socially conscious professionals. But both the jeep and the tractor have been vegged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any environmentalist cruising up these old logging roads in my Suzuki,â&#x20AC;? Penta observes dryly.

A few minutes later, he proceeds to fill the tractor with grease.

The fuel spews from a long red hose, which is connected to the huge plastic container of WVO tucked into the corner of Pentaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shop. Between the French-fry smell and the sight of his futuristic lawn-mower, I wonder if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been beamed up to a post-oil paradise.

But then a gigantic, gas-powered Ford truck pulls over on the side of the road, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m jolted back to fossil-fuel reality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just Mike,â&#x20AC;? Penta explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stopping by to drink a few

Like Penta, Mike doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much affinity for flower-child ecology. He works as a welder in the Barre area. His belt reads, â&#x20AC;&#x153;North American Hunting Club: Life Member.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all with veg,â&#x20AC;? says Mike.

He wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve bought a diesel truck instead of the one he owns now if the law had allowed it: Vermont statutes prohibit the sale of diesel autos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ridiculous,â&#x20AC;?

Mike says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can buy your 10miles-per-gallon Hummer, but you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy a new diesel.â&#x20AC;?

Penta says he shares his friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concern, but points out that oldmodel diesel trucks are actually the next frontier for WVO. In fact, Greasecar kits are available for selected diesel pick-ups. He recently converted a 2004 Dodge â&#x20AC;&#x201D; evidence that the Penta-costal grease gospel could help convert drivers on both sides of the political aisle.

Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s indignation fades, and our discussion returns to cars.

When Penta finds out that my ride â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a cream-colored, 1985 diesel Volkswagen Golf â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is partially converted, he insists on lifting my hood to see what kind of system Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m working with.

Then his tiny son steps between us and places a dandelion head on my engine block. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For you, Daddy,â&#x20AC;? says the boy.

Penta pauses to flash a bashful smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aww . . . thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweet,â&#x20AC;? he responds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now watch your fingers.â&#x20AC;? ďż˝

Story Time

A EXHIBIT “Tell Me a Story: Paintings from the Past Decade” by Jane Pincus. Amy E. Tarrant Gallery, Flynn Center, Burlington.

Through June.

ARTWORK “Light and Dark”

by Jane Pincus

PHOTO Marc Awodey

rt history’s three most important collage artists are arguably Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Romare Bearden. Picasso’s 1912 “Still Life with Chair Caning” is said to have inaugurated the medium. Matisse’s notion of using paper as a way of drawing with pure color, and Bearden’s integration of collage with mixed media, expanded the horizons of collage beyond the Surrealists’ fairly simplistic employment of it as a vehicle for fusing incongruous images.

In her current exhibition, entitled “Tell Me a Story,” at the Amy E. Tarrant Gallery in Burlington, Vermont artist Jane Pincus works in the Bearden tradition. She often paints and repaints precisely cut snippets of imagery, applying layers of color to layers of narrative meaning. Brief stories that provide background information are posted alongside most of her vibrant, richly patterned paintings. Yet, while many themes are easily understood, others are less obvious, even to Pincus. As she discloses in her artist statement: “I have to pay attention to what my paintings tell me, looking very hard, waiting occasionally for weeks, for the answers.” Thus she seems to have established a working dialogue with every piece in progress.

The largest of Pincus’ 20 paintings on exhibit is the 4-by-8-foot horizontal “Façade.” The artist refers to many of her works as “houses,” and, like an open dollhouse, “Façade” is a jumble of differently hued rooms. Stairs are broken into geometric shapes, while furniture and abstracted people inhabit the building’s nooks and crannies. A gesturally painted cerulean-blue sky fills Pincus’ negative space at upper right and left, above uneven rooflines.

The 36-by-36-inch “House of Hawk, House of

Dove” speaks directly about war and peace and is accompanied by the Archibald MacLeish poem “The Young Dead Soldiers Do Not Speak.” Pincus placed two house images side by side; each is inhabited by a “Pietà”-like mother holding a limp adult son. The houses are built on a foundation of suffering and grief, in the form of black-and-white and color newspaper photos of the Iraq war. Mourning women in headscarves are prominent, but a grief-stricken American soldier, who is comforting two children, is equally noticeable in the foreground.

An angel hovers near the top of Pincus’ 16-by-20inch “Guardians,” and a dark-haired woman seated in the foreground holds two cats. There’s a bird nearby, also a few fish in a nearby stream. So perhaps the woman is a guardian of the cats, as well as of their potential prey, and the angel is a guardian over all? In this case the narrative, whatever it may be, isn’t as important as how the piece is formally organized. Pincus’ composition is pleasingly complex. Depth is created with both patterning and sweeping curves, which advance through the middle ground of the picture plane. The chromatic harmony is

The houses are built upon a foundation of suffering and grief, in the form of black-and-white and color newspaper pictures of the Iraq war.

Pincus expresses many dualities in her works.

“Light and Dark” contrasts two rooms, each with a seated figure — apparently the same woman. The light side at left is bathed in golden yellow, while the dark side of the 36-by-24-inch composition contains broad ranges of blue and grays. Pincus explains in an accompanying text that it’s her second version of the piece: “That first time I had some idea about inside = safe, outside = menacing.

The second time, I couldn’t make the dark menacing at all and instead created her reflection in a sweet darkness.” The original version of “Light and Dark” was apparently discarded with “a whole bunch of unsatisfactory paintings.”

based on the relationship between light blue and browns bordering on orange.

Pincus made “Guardians” as a donation for a Women Helping Battered Women online auction.

Amazingly, it didn’t receive any bids. Considering that Pincus co-wrote the landmark book Our Bodies, Ourselves, it’s surprising no one snatched up the work based on her important contribution as an author.

As the medium of collage approaches its hundredth birthday, it remains a vital and intriguing corollary to painting — even in the era of Photoshop. And, despite her work’s being passed over in the WHBW auction, Pincus may well be considered Vermont’s preeminent collagist. m

Karaoke Evolution Karaoke is cool.

You may still think of karaoke as something lonely singles do in the back of a Bennigan’s, waving around a glass of Chablis while trying to nail all the notes of a Donna Summer hit. Collect a bunch of 9-year-olds and put them in front of a PlayStation 2 with a copy of “SingStar Pop” and a couple of microphones, and you’ll soon discover that karaoke is actually cool.

It may not be fair to judge games by the tastes of elementary-schoolage boys. They lack the critical maturity and worldly experience to offer deep insight on cultural products. Then again, they do know cool. Ask a kid if “Halo” is any good, and he’ll say it is, whether he’s played it or not. Nine-year-olds know that Mario is one smooth dude and Barney is not.

And in my house, 9-year-olds love “SingStar.”

Since their discovery of the twinmicrophone game that lets you sing along to a variety of hits – complete with music videos – all other games have been pushed aside. Even the venerable “Guitar Hero” has started to gather dust as the kids plow through songs such as the AllAmerican Rejects’ “Move Along” and that Britney Spears chestnut “. . .

Baby One More Time.”

If you still have doubts that butchering your favorite pop songs provides any fun, try this little experiment. Fire up “SingStar” at your next party. Before you’ve worked your way through a-ha’s classic “Take On Me,” complete with a groundbreaking, animated newwave video, expect everyone in the room to clamor for a shot at the mike. Young and old will want to sing along, and it won’t take long before you get a whole roomful of people shouting the lyrics to The Raconteurs’ “Steady, As She Goes.”

SUDOKU

By Linda Thistle

“SingStar Pop” “SingStar Rocks!” $29.99 each for game only/$49.99 with two-microphone bundle PlayStation 2 E 10+ for Everyone 10 and older

Monotones and voices like angels, everyone wants to sing.

“SingStar” isn’t the first karaoke game on the PlayStation and may not even be the most popular.

“Karaoke Revolution” has kicked around the video-game world long enough to produce a half-dozen versions. The title remains a fan favorite because of its wide variety of songs and play modes. Compared side by side, “SingStar”’s use of original music videos does a better job of creating a pop-star vibe than do “KR’s” animated singers and sets. Regardless of whether you like James Blunt’s Englishman r&b, it’s hard not to enjoy the moody video for “You’re Beautiful.” And the use of original material fits the timeless desires of every shower singer. When you rock out to Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” you don’t imagine yourself as some also-ran from “American Idol” covering this classic slice of pop.

Instead, you’re Whitney, with big

‘80s hair and soaring voice. We want to be the stars. Singing along to their videos is as old as MTV and just as cool.

Who’s It For: You don’t have to sing to enjoy karaoke. In fact, “SingStar” is perfect for anyone who’s too shy to sing in public but still interested in belting out a few tunes. The better you sing, though, the more points you earn.

If You Like This, Try That: With two installments of the “SingStar” series available in North America and more on the way, most wannabe Idols can wait to get more songs.

For those who need new songs right away, the expansive “Karaoke Revolution” library swings from country to rock and even includes some Elvis.

Best Part: Recording your vocal performances lets you hear just how good – or bad – you really are.

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each 9-box square contains all of the numbers one to nine.

Difficulty this week: H H = Moderate HH = Challenging HHH = Hoo, boy!

theborowitzreport Bush Names Wolfowitz President of al-Qaeda

I

n a bold move to undermine the international terror network, President George W. Bush today named former deputy defense secretary and World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz to be the new president of al Qaeda.

Mr. Wolfowitz, who has no experience running an international terror organization, struck many Washington insiders as an unlikely choice for the alQaeda job.

But in a White House ceremony introducing his nominee for the top terror post, President Bush indicated that Mr. Wolfowitz’s role in planning the war in Iraq and bringing scandal to the World Bank showed that he was “just the man” to bring chaos and disorder to al-Qaeda.

“I’ve seen Paul Wolfowitz in action,” said Mr. Bush, a beaming Mr. Wolfowitz at his side. “If anyone can mess up al Qaeda, it’s this guy.”

Several key details in the president’s plan still need to be worked out, such as how exactly Mr. Wolfowitz will infiltrate al Qaeda and rise to the top position in

its ranks.

“Al Qaeda closely screens all of its top officers,” said Hassan El-Medfaii, head of the terror network’s human resources department. “It’s not like the Defense

It’s not like the Defense Department or the World Bank.

Department or the World Bank.”

Even if he ascends to its top post, it remains to be seen whether Mr. Wolfowitz will be happy at al Qaeda, according to Professor Davis Logsdon, chairman of the Wolfowitz Studies Department at the University of Minnesota.

“Al Qaeda is not like the World Bank,” Professor Logsdon said. “For one thing, it’s much harder to meet girls there.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Though one of

the closest stars to our sun, Teegardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s star was unknown to astronomers until 2003. Located in the constellation of Aries, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a red dwarf with relatively modest heat and luminosity, and moves very fast compared to other stars. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make Teegardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s star your metaphor of the month for June. I predict that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll discover and engage with a major presence that has always been close to you but low-key â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a quick, understated influence that has never before captivated your attention.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The editors

of Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magazine took a survey of American organizations devoted to bigotry. They counted 151 different neo-Nazi groups, 163 chapters of the KKK, 62 congregations of Christian Identity, 48 skinhead cults and 29 black separatist movements.

But five states harbored none of these groups at all â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iowa, Alaska, Maine and North and South Dakota. Racism undoubtedly exists there, but not so much that anyone feels a burning drive to formally organize the hatred. Take your cue from these relatively enlightened oases in the coming week, Taurus. Be a master of peace, acceptance, compassion, and optimism â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially when you brush up against people who are exuding derisive, judgmental cynicism. Do it for your own health as much as for your environmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

horoscope draws on the wisdom of Gemini philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson. His soaring perspective is a perfect fit for your current astrological omens. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first: â&#x20AC;&#x153;All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.â&#x20AC;? Emerson #2: â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have never been discovered.â&#x20AC;?

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your third Emersonian clue: â&#x20AC;&#x153;He who is not every day conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.â&#x20AC;? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finish up with this battle cry, Emerson #4: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.â&#x20AC;?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In her CD

Spiritual Madness: The Necessity of Meeting God in Darkness, Caroline Myss tells us that wading

through messy darkness is an essential part of our search for meaning. She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recommend that we avoid chaos at all costs, or even just accept it with resignation. Rather, we should welcome it as a gift that can teach us crucial secrets about how to become ourselves. I agree with Myss. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I advise you not to resent the confusion before you. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just mindlessly clean it up as fast as you can, either. Instead, dive into it.

Celebrate it. Allow it to change you into a riper, wiser, more beautiful soul.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear Rob: Thanks for writing your horoscopes. You make me laugh even when life is pelting me with stones. You comfort me, teach me, bring me back from deluded daydreams, give me realistic goals to daydream about, kick my butt into gear when I need it, and tell me when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to kick othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; butts when they need it. You rock the foundations of my world! -Grateful Leo.â&#x20AC;? Dear Grateful: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing is that your allies and loved ones need you to bestow on them the exact blessings youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just ascribed to me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prime time for you to be a towering role model, a servant of the greater good, the feisty leader of your tribe.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your relationship with time seems to be one of your biggest problems. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never enough of it. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always fighting against the limitations it imposes.

It frustrates you and even hurts you. But let me ask you this: Can you imagine yourself cultivating a more friendly and cunning relationship with time? Are you able to visualize the prospect of you and time becoming more like allies than adversaries? How would it feel to regard time as a loving taskmaster that compels you to realize you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do everything and must therefore focus on only your brightest dreams and truest pleasures?

This is a perfect moment, astrologically speaking, for you to attempt this magic.

LIbRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do you think you

could arrange to drive a car equipped with a jet engine through desert salt flats at 200 miles per hour? Given the current astrological omens, that would be my first recommendation for you. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not possible, would you consider enrolling in circus school and learning how to be safely and elegantly shot out of a cannon? And if neither of those two alternatives are likely, Libra, please somehow stir up a visceral sense of moving speedily toward the future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear Rob:

Can you give me a rational explanation for why Scorpio is the most hated and feared sign of the zodiac? When I tell someone Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a member of that tribe, the usual reaction is along the lines of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ooohhh, a Scorpio,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the same way someone would say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ooohhh, a horribly disfigured, compulsively evil, sexually deviant sideshow freak.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; -Sick of Being Dissed.â&#x20AC;? Dear Gorgeous Crafty Rebel Lover: I have some good news for you. 2007 is Scorpio Rehabilitation Year, and June is Scorpio Glorification Month. To take advantage of these milestones, all you need to do is vividly express your most beautiful qualities. Leave the rest to the universe.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Here are a few of the fine improvements I expect you to have accomplished by the end of June: tips on how to live well in two worlds; an addition to the reasons why people find you attractive; a crash course that helps you become more fluent in the language of intimacy; richer, more interesting feelings than youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced in a long time; and practical insights into how to avoid being flustered by paradoxes that have driven you crazy in the past.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m giving you the assignment of revising two of your long-standing opinions or theories about the way the world works. As you aggressively seek out the information that will help you change your mind, try to feel tender compassion for me, the wise guy whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s asking you to undertake such an arduous and potentially rewarding task.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When my

friend Keith and I were in college in the early 1980s, we were extravagant ambassadors for poetry. On weekends weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d roam from party to party, reciting Neruda poems to audiences of drunk punks and declaiming Ginsberg verses as we teetered on the tops of cars. On occasion weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d scrawl our own poems on the walls of strange living rooms or improvise surrealistic spokenword rants in the streets, begging for alms. Years later, I write a syndicated astrology column that might be described as a stealth poetry invasion, and Keith is a producer for a national news broadcast, onto which he sometimes brings noted poets to close the show with a lyrical splash. So now I ask you, Aquarius: What raw passion would you like to turn into a polished gig in the future? Now is a good time to make a deep commitment to it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;I usually solve

problems by letting them devour me,â&#x20AC;? wrote Franz Kafka. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an interesting approach, I guess, and though it might work for a fire sign or air sign, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a wise policy for you Pisceans. In fact, I urge you to fervently resist any temptation you might have to allow your problems to gobble you up. On the contrary, be like a gargantuan sea monster in the midst of the perfect storm. Rise up as high as the dark sky and growl back at the thunder. Shoot flames from your mouth at the lightning. Become too big and ancient and wild to ever be devoured.

make people think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking,â&#x20AC;? said author Don Marquis, â&#x20AC;&#x153;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll love you; but if you really make them think, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hate you.â&#x20AC;? My objective in this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horoscope is to prove him wrong: I want you to love me for making you really think. In the hope of accomplishing this goal,

film review

Away From Her HHHH

H UNFORGETTABLE Julie Christie does some of her finest work in the role of a woman waging a losing war with Alzheimer’s.

ow often have we heard soon-to-part movie characters console each other with the chestnut that, come what may, they’ll always have memories of the time they shared? “We’ll always have Paris,” as Bogie said to Ingrid Bergman.

The husband and wife at the center of Away From Her are faced with the prospect of parting but can seek no such comfort. Memories are taken away every day in real life, of course, whether by injury, stroke, dementia or some other cause. One of the many provocative questions the film poses is: What do 44 years of marriage amount to if one of the partners forgets they ever happened?

Julie Christie gives a moving, magnificently nuanced performance in the role of Fiona, a sixtysomething Ontario woman of considerable beauty and spirit who realizes she’s experiencing the initial stages of Alzheimer’s. Her husband Grant is played by the veteran Canadian actor Gordon Pinsent. A retired professor, Grant cross-country skis with his wife on the frozen lake beside their rustic cottage, reads to her in the evening before a fire and, after they do the dishes, silently returns to its proper place a frying pan she has put in the freezer.

Based on a 1999 short story by Alice Munro, the film offers an almost Bergman-esque dissection of the relationship (which proves less idyllic than it first appears) and any number of powerfully knowing moments. When Fiona tapes handwritten labels to the kitchen’s drawers and cupboards, Grant worries that the act of writing them made it unnecessary for her to remember. When another couple comes by for

dinner — the final time, as it turns out — Christie’s character mentions in passing that she feels as though she’s disappearing. Refilling glasses, she gets stuck trying to retrieve the word for “wine.” After a painfully long silence, the closest she can come is “wane.”

Despite her husband’s pleas that she stay, Fiona stoically makes the decision to enter a residential-care facility. Grant struggles with its policy forbidding visitation for the first 30 days. The two haven’t spent that much time apart since they were married. Even tougher, though, is his realization on day 31 that his lifetime companion has not just forgotten who he is; she’s also become devoted to a mute patient (Michael Murphy) who, we learn, had a crush on her as a boy. What is a husband to do, to feel, as he watches his wife in such a relationship?

After all, the conventional marital rules no longer apply. And Grant himself was unfaithful to Fiona decades earlier, when they did.

The answers posited by the picture will move, amuse, enlighten and surprise you. This is heavy stuff.

We’re dealing with a kind of living death, and, in less capable hands, the whole affair might have wound up one of those maudlin Lifetime movies. The biggest surprise, perhaps, is who’s responsible for this film.

Away From Her marks the feature screenwriting and directing debut of the 28-year-old Canadian actress Sarah Polley, from such films as Go, eXistenZ and The Sweet Hereafter. This is more than a remarkably assured first film, however. It’s a film that ranks as remarkable by any standard.

An actress since the age of 4, Polley has worked with some of the most gifted filmmakers in the business — Terry Gilliam, Doug Liman, David Cronenberg and Atom Egoyan among them. Clearly she’s picked up a few things along the way. For someone who has so much life still in front of her, Polley demonstrates astonishing compassion for and insight into challenges faced by characters whose best days are receding.

RICK KISONAK

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End HHH

A ...AND A BOTTLE OF HO-HUM Jack Sparrow promises to “lend a machete to your intellectual thicket” but didn’t offer one to the editors of the third Pirates installment.

bout 40 minutes into the new entry in Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Johnny Depp appears. It’s a lucky thing, because those 40 minutes remind us just how dull a Pirates movie without the wackadoo comic stylings of Captain Jack Sparrow can be. Up till then, we’ve got Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom making eyes at each other, Hong Kong film legend Chow Yun Fat playing the one-note role of a sinister Singapore pirate lord, a CGI-ed Niagara Falls standing in for the end of the world, and lots of swelling, operatic music. The movie is reduced to finding most of its comic relief in a dwarf and a monkey.

When Depp shows up, though, everyone peps up.

As you may recall — or not — from the previous movie, when we last saw Captain Jack, a very large calamari was bearing him off to Davy Jones’ locker.

Voodoo priestess Tia Dalma (Naomie Harris) reminds us that this is an extremely bad spiritual dimension, worse than death itself. (At least, I think that’s what she said in her movie-patois, which makes her sound like a cross between a rum ad voiceover and Yoda.)

When we arrive there, though, the infamous locker looks more like a scene from a Terry Gilliam movie. In a trippy sequence, Depp cavorts aboard a ship sitting atop a sand dune in a blindingly white desert. In Sparrow’s version of hell, he’s still captain, with a crew that’s composed entirely of replicas of himself. But if you’re expecting all this surrealism to go in some Ingmar Bergman direction, with the scraggly pirate coming face to face with his own narcissism, forget it — the whole thing is played for laughs.

In the aftermath of his rescue, Sparrow apparently suffers from PTSD — or maybe just too much rum — since he’s prone to hallucinations in which his dreadlocks become mini-Jacks and give him advice.

Not the best advice, either. They suggest that he find a way to replace Davy Jones (Bill Nighy), the maudlin, tentacle-faced villain who is immortal but cursed with the duty of ferrying the dead to their final resting place. (Somehow this franchise has fused the sailors’ old saw about Davy Jones with the Flying Dutchman and the Greek Charon.)

Thing is, the East India Company, led by primly evil Lord Beckett, already controls the crucial chest of Davy Jones and is using the undead seaman as cheap labor to clear the seas of pirates and make them safe for British commerce. Who will win — the bewigged imperialists, or the ragtag pirate Brethren who assemble from all over the globe to defeat their common enemy?

If you don’t already know, you’ve never seen this type of movie. It takes nigh on three hours to get to the rousing finish, though. Like a snowball, the Pirates series just keeps acquiring more characters, each with his or her own motivations, which lead to countless negotiations and double-crosses. Furthermore, most of them are played by fine actors who cut their teeth on Shakespeare and demand their share of marine scenery to chew. Even the less seasoned Knightley gets a pastiche of Henry V’s famous “Once more unto the breach” speech. (She acquits herself well, but her handsome swain remains as boring as ever.)

It all adds up to a certain amount of chaos. The filmmakers’ priorities are clear: You don’t have to understand why the latest alliance fell apart to appre-

ciate the resulting physics-defying battle. World’s End delivers on spectacle, but there’s so much stabbing and exploding and mast-leaping, particularly at the end, that it feels like much of a muchness. At least we finally get to see Depp doing his Oscar-nominated Keith Richards impersonation side by side with the actual Keith Richards, who plays Sparrow’s dear old dad. Their reunion is short, sweet and understated — qualities sorely lacking in this movie.

FULL BLOWN SPRING THE GUYS OF GROCERY #1 in a series

You’ve seen them at the store, stocking shelves, moving it around, taking care of bizz…now get to know a li�le more about these amazing guys.

Whisk together 2T olive oil, lemon juice, thyme, salt and pepper.

Cut tuna steaks into several large pieces and marinate for about an hour.

Heat 3T olive oil in a small frying pan on medium heat. Bring the lemon zest to a sizzle for 2 minutes. Add the scallions and gently cook until fragrant and bright green, 1-2 minutes.

Cool completely.

Heat a grill to medium-high and grill the tuna, about 2 minutes per side. It’s easy to overcook this fish, which results in a dry and sorry mess. Minimal cooking is all you need for pink, juicy tuna.

Put the spinach and arugula in a large bowl and toss with the cooled scallion mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Divide between two dinner plates and arrange the tuna on top. Drizzle with a li�le extra virgin olive oil and the parsley and serve with lemon wedges. For extreme deliciousness, serve with perfectly grilled asparagus on the side.

Salad Daze Vermont restos serve up a very mixed bag of greens

hat do you get when you mix avocado sushi, calamari salad, banana chips and a pile of cold meatballs? Nothing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want to eat â&#x20AC;&#x201D; together. Yet all these items can be found behind the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sneeze guardsâ&#x20AC;? at area salad bars. Gone are the days when lettuceloving diners found only chunks of watery iceberg and a few sliced veggies alongside goopy dressings and a cursory collection of crunchy toppings. Vermont restaurants have made a lot of produce progress.

bar are not exactly known, either.

Chuckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steak House of Waikiki, Hawaii, claims to have invented it in 1959.

Other reports indicate that Sam and Viola Cliff of Springfield, Illinois, operated one at their restaurant, called The Cliffs, in the late 1940s. The couple holds an apparent trump card â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a 1950 postcard advertising their restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;salad bar buffet.â&#x20AC;?

What culinary historians are certain of is that the modern salad-bar concept became wildly popular in the health-faddish 1970s. Even aerobics guru Richard Simmons got in on the craze, opening a

The communal, DIY aspect of the salad bar may explain its popularity, but it comes with a host of health concerns.

Case in point: Souzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brazilian Steakhouse catered mainly to carnivores for five years on lower Main Street in Burlington.

But at its brand-new venue up the hill, on the corner of St. Paul, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sizable â&#x20AC;&#x153;internationalâ&#x20AC;? soup and salad bar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every rodizio steakhouse in Brazil has one,â&#x20AC;? explains chef Kelly Dietrich. It seems the American salad-bar idea is so hot in Brazil that his restaurant didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel â&#x20AC;&#x153;authentically Brazilianâ&#x20AC;? without one. Items at Souzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run the gamut from translucent slices of smoked salmon to hearty scoops of hot black beans and rice.

Though more Vermont restaurants are making the greens scene, the concept is not exactly new. And the origins of the salad

The foraging furor got a boost from entrepreneur Rich Melman, who co-founded a Chicago singles bar and restaurant called RJ Grunts in 1971 and quickly began converting leafy greens into greenbacks. The place still exists, one of many restaurants in Melmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lettuce Entertain You hospitality group.

Grunts, known for its hippie chic and macrobiotic leanings, proffered a 40-item, all-you-can-eat deal. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the great-grandpa of places such as Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stone Soup

The biggest health hazard at salad bars? People sticking their fingers in the food, which happens “especially at the grocery stores,” Burns suggests.

That’s not why we left supermarkets and co-ops out of the following salad-bar survey, though.

No, chowing down at eight restaurants in five towns over five days was enough. We managed

and Montpelier’s Rhapsody, which cater to a health-conscious, partially vegetarian crowd. Other local salad-slingers, such as the Windjammer in South Burlington and Middlebury’s Fire and Ice, hew to the more popular steak/seafood/salad model.

The communal, DIY aspect of the salad bar may explain its popularity, but it comes with a host of health concerns. In some respects, eating at a salad bar is like sharing a meal with dozens of strangers.

Vermont restaurant inspector Al Burns doesn’t advise shunning them. But he’s happy to elucidate a few tenets of salad-bar safety: 1) You must use a clean plate every time you go back to a salad bar; 2) Food should be covered, or a “sneeze guard” should be in place; and 3) If food is not kept at the correct temperature — below 41 degrees for cold foods and above 135 for hot — it must be discarded after four hours.

Stewart Says Vermont matters in martha’s new mag

Vermont is hot, hot, hot, and it’s not just due to unusually warm May weather. Yet another national magazine, Martha Stewart’s new Blueprint, features a slew of Vermont products in its May/June issue.

The three-quarter-page spread appears in a 17-page segment labeled “Perimeter: Personal Style from Every Angle.” Write the editors: “Constant raves from the food department about all things Vermont — the local artisans, the quality ingredients, the lack of pretense — convinced us to take a closer look.”

Which products did Martha’s minions zoom in on? Dragonfly Sugarworks maple syrup, Woodstock Water Buffalo yogurt, Magic Hat #9, Green Mountain Granola, American Flatbread, Pop Soda and a trio of artisan cheeses from Taylor Farm, Thistle Hill Farm and Twig Farm. No word on why they only chose cheeses from farms whose names begin with T. It’s certainly nice to be called “a good thing.”

But if all this media attention touches off a rush on Vermont products, will there be any left for Vermonters?

Dine like stein at hemingway’s

Roaring ’20s buffs who dream of supping like Isadora Duncan or Zelda Fitzgerald may want to visit Hemingway’s restaurant in Killington this Thursday evening. Chef Ted Fondulas found inspiration for a special meal in a 1994 tome

by Suzanne RodriguezHunter. The book is called Found Meals of the Lost Generation: Recipes and Anecdotes from 1920s Paris.

Fondulas will prepare old-fashionedsounding CHEF TED FoNDuLAS dishes such as “cold asparagus with sauce ravigote” — ravigote is a rouxthickened sauce flavored with shallots, chives and tarragon — and “bouillabaisse à la Marseillaise.”

The meal will close with Gertrude Stein’s “nameless cookies.” The recipe for these also appears in the famous Alice B. Toklas Cookbook, published in 1954.

Unlike the recipe for “hashish fudge,” also in that edition’s British version, they’re 100 percent legal.

Dinner begins at 7 p.m. and costs $85 per person. Guests are encouraged to “dress of the age,” but flapper gear is optional. For information or reservations, call 422-3886.

What did they totally miss? Arisman and Martin appear to be budding food critics. The clever teenaged lyricists peppered their rap with comments on local ag, and even used it as a forum to review a couple of local restaurants. Overall, food is mentioned eight times, not including a reference to hunting.

Here’s the rappers’ quick-and-dirty assessment of the Capital City’s pizza scene: “We’ve got seven different places to buy a pizza slice, / but don’t go to Village, ’cause that dude ain’t nice. / Cross off Angeleno’s ’cause their pie is overpriced. / What about Girasole? Yeah, that’ll suffice!”

Other fav foodie lines: “Cellphone service is questionable. / Farmers’ market is our biggest festival.” “Our eggs are jumbo ’cause our chickens are free-rangin’.” They also talk up the state’s creamy milk, Ben & Jerry’s and Cabot sharp cheddar.

You can find the video at Youtube.com by searching the terms “Montpelier Vermont 802.” Or check it out at Cathy Resmer’s blog, 802 Online: 7d.blogs. com/802online/2007/05/vermont_youtube.html.

Crumbs Burlington’s hip Green Room is now open on Sundays. It also has a brand-spankin’-new drink menu featuring top-shelf liquors and Stirrings mixers. One highlight is the Bloody Marylander: Grey Goose and Stirrings Bloody Mary Mix garnished with celery and shrimp in a glass rimmed with Maryland Old Bay Seasoning. Another, the VTini, is Organic Sunshine Vodka with Boucher Bleu Cheese stuffed olives. Together, they’re almost a meal . . .

• On a new Vermont Public Television series, “Feast in the Making,” host Sean Buchanan of Wood Creek Farm Beef “highlights the diversity of foods available from local growers, farmers and cheesemakers who are reinvigorating Vermont cuisine,” according to a press release. The first show in the six-part series will air on Wednesday, June 6, at 7:30 p.m. In that episode, squash fanatics can watch Chef Doug Mack of Mary’s Restaurant at the Inn at Baldwin Creek prepare “fried zucchini blossoms stuffed with smoked zucchini goat cheese on a tomato zucchini sauce.” More episodes follow on five consecutive Wednesdays, excluding July 4...

On April 27, a couple of young Vermonters, Colin Arisman and Luke Martin, posted a YouTube video eloquently entitled “802 music video.” In it, the Montpelier residents hang in front of the Statehouse and rap about what it’s like to be young in Vermont. In their coverage of the popular clip, which has been viewed 52,133 times to date, local media focused on the trendy phenomenon of

It’s got to

be kinda weird to have been in one of the most iconic bands in rock history and then go solo. Despite the relatively modest success of Ringo Starr’s postBeatles endeavors, does anyone really identify him as anything but a member of the Fab Four? Phormer Phish keyboardist

Page McConnell

has a similar plight, and that’s too bad.

His self-titled solo debut album, an ambitious departure from his previous ventures, deserves to be appreciated outside the province of the dearly departed jam kings and McConnell’s jazzy side project, Vida Blue. Whether you’re a restless Phishhead or just a fan of good pop-rock, you can catch Page McConnell and his band this Wednesday at the Higher Ground Ballroom, where they’ll kick off a summer tour. Burlington ex-pat — and all-around swell guy — Neil Cleary opens the show.

THE SOUL OF WHIT

Burlington’s debauched Vaudevillian auteurs Cccome? owe a great debt to the controversial, quintessentially American bard Walt Whitman. Alternately revered and reviled in his time — as any great artist should be, dammit — Whitman broke free from the largely European confines of what poetry “should be,” exploring metrically diverse compositions and gleefully thumbing his nose at conventional rhyme schemes. He was punk rock before there was such a thing. And he didn’t even have to wear a Misfits T-shirt from Urban Outfitters to prove it. Go figure.

This Thursday, Ccome? will pay homage to a true American original as they invite Burlington to “Sing the Body Electric,” in honor of Whitman’s birthday. Also heeding the call of “active rebellion” will be art-rockers Swale, the actively dictatorial Activist/Dictators, avantfolkies El Paso, grammatically challenged T’ouch Me soft-ly and a whole cadre of poets, actors, artists, dancers and drunks. In true Whitman-esque style, the event will be a free-for-all and revelers are enCccouraged to join in the fun, any way they see fit.

However, if you prefer more conventional birthday parties, I hear J.C. Penney is having a killer sale at the Long Island shopping mall bearing Whitman’s name. I’ll see the rest of you at Club Metronome.

The show, like the poet himself, is absolutely free.

TURN THE PAGE Those with their ears to the ground may have caught wind of the rumor that a local boy has made good and is about to tour with a member of Phish. If you’re like me and open newspapers to the pretty pictures first, you’ve already read that former Burlington crooner Neil Cleary scored an opening gig with Page McConnell this Wednesday at the Higher Ground Ballroom. What you may not know is that he’s lined up to play the entire tour. To paraphrase Ron Burgundy, that’s kind of a big deal.

Says Cleary, “I’ve pretty much been having daily stomachaches over it, but I’m really psyched.” I can imagine.

The Boston-based troubadour has also been hard at work on a new album, cheekily titled I Was Thinking of You the Whole Time, and plans to have 150 advance copies ready for the first show.

A proper release of the album is planned for the fall, but I employed my writerly superpowers to track down an unmastered copy of the disc. It’s good. Really, really good.

As many of McConnell’s shows do, the event doubles as a food drive for the Conscious Alliance so if you go, bring some canned goods, and maybe a bottle of Pepto-Bismol for Neil.

KEEP YOUR PANTS ON It’s been almost a year to the day since legendary Burlington rockers The Pants reunited at Higher Ground for one last show. As Burlington’s resident number-one Pants fan— all apologies to Arthur “The Lazy Songwriter” Adams — it pained me no end to have to miss it. Not typically one for extracurricular activities, I CCCOME? joined the prom committee during my junior year at Champlain Valley Union High School for the sole purpose of recruiting The Pants to play our prom. They did, and it rocked.

You can imagine my schoolgirlish delight to receive an email from Candleboy Films founder Bill Simmons announcing that the concert film of the show is nearing completion and a special screening would be available online to commemorate the May 27 anniversary of the show.

After a few deep breaths from my inhaler and a cold shower, I headed over to www.candleboy.com/thepants and was treated to sixand-a-half minutes of pure, unbridled fan-boy ecstasy. The preview clip features “Vermont,” from The Pants debut EP, and is even better than I remember it. Sound for the show, and the film, was engineered by local mixing guru Joe Egan and, even through the iPod format I saw, it sounds perfect. A “crazyass high-rez” surround-sound version is also available for techgeeks with QuickTime 7.

There is no official release date set for Never Too Late: The Pants Live at Higher Ground, but check out Candleboy for the sneak peek, a trailer for an inthe-works Pants documentary, and to sign up for email updates on both projects.

BROWNE OUT

Within minutes of going on sale, the June 10 Jackson Browne concert at the Barre Opera House sold out, leaving thousands of fans in the dark and ticket-less. Event organizer Ariel Zevon, daughter of the late “Werewolves of London” singer Warren, quickly scheduled a second show for June 9. To the surprise of no one, it sold out just as fast.

As performers of Browne’s stature make precious few visits to the Green Mountain State, much less Barre, tickets to see the iconic songwriter are reportedly going for as much as $500 on auction sites such

as eBay. Not surprisingly, the enterprising folks at Waterbury’s WDEV Radio Vermont are cashing in, too — in a nonprofit kind of way, of course.

The radio station has partnered with Barre’s Local Agricultural Community Exchange — L.A.C.E. for short — to auction off a pair of front-row tickets for each show, courtesy of Zevon and her mother, Crystal. To bid, send an email to contest@radiovermont.com indicating which show you’re bidding on, along with your name, address and phone number. The high bidders will be notified on Friday, June 8, with all proceeds benefiting L.A.C.E.

AND THE LIVIN’ IS EASY Speaking of Barre — when did the Granite City become such a freakin’ hot spot? — Wednesday, June 6, marks the start of the annual Barre Rotary Club Concert Series with bluesy roots outfit The Grit Pixies.

According to Executive Director Matt Lash, “This could be our best series yet. There is no better way to spend a summer evening than by swinging by the library and City Hall Park for the performances, then trotting across the way for a creemee at Simply Subs.” That sounds great, though folks in Castleton may beg to differ.

On Tuesday, June 5, The Bluegrass Gospel Project kicks off the 11th annual Concert on the Green summer concert series in Castleton.

The 13-week schedule is chock-full of family-friendly fare, highlighted by a Fourth of July concert at Crystal Beach on Lake Bomoseen with the Onion River Jazz Band.

Both lineups are impressive and feature performances by local honky-tonk heroes The Starline Rhythm Boys. Thankfully, the scheduled dates for the two series never conflict, meaning you won’t have to choose between creemees and swimming.

SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION ALERT! The Discover Jazz Festival is nearly upon us, yet I’m told many of you haven’t been regularly visiting the Seven Days Jazz Mafia Blog. What gives? You think you’re better than me? You want I should bust your kneecaps for you? Here, I’ll make you an “offer” you can’t refuse: Go to the blog. Now. In all seriousness, if you haven’t checked it out, you should. Jazz Fest can be overwhelming without a guiding hand — I get paid to write about music and even I occasionally curl into the fetal position just thinking about it.

With “The Sopranos” nearing its end, people will no doubt need some sort of Cosa Nostra fix. Well, here you go. The Jazz Mafia are five of the most knowledgeable jazz aficionados you’ll ever meet and can school you in any jazzy genre you can think of. Go on, I dare you.

reviewthis THE NEW SIBERIANS, THE NEW SIBERIANS

RYAN SHAW, THIS IS RYAN SHAW

(Self-released, CD)

(Columbia Records, CD)

My editors will probably wring my neck for repeatedly referencing Robert Zemeckisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; epic time-traveling trilogy Back to the Future in these pages. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to do it anyway, because the only way to reconcile with the existence of a singer like Ryan Shaw in the year 2007 is to assume that he must have access to a flying DeLorean with a flux-capacitor. Shawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut, This Is Ryan Shaw, serves up 1.21 gigawatts of the most electrifying, timeless soul and r&b this side of Otis Redding â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or perhaps Chuckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cousin Marvin Berry . . .

The discâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first track â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the funkinfused boogie, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do the 45â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; serves as a perfect introduction to Shaw and his otherworldly vocal capabilities. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure how one does the â&#x20AC;&#x153;45,â&#x20AC;? but it sounds like a blast.

Following the opener, the record â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it really should be on vinyl â&#x20AC;&#x201D; touches all of the classic r&b bases.

From Aretha-esque stylings on Wilson Pickettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Am Your Man,â&#x20AC;? to the Innervision-era, Stevie Wonderinspired â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobodyâ&#x20AC;? and a brilliant take on Motown-founder Berry Gordyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll Be Satisfied,â&#x20AC;? Shaw delivers each track with astounding authenticity and obvious reverence for the giants on whose shoulders he now stands.

Shaw effortlessly channels the heart of Motown, favoring the rich, polished arrangements employed by Gordy, Smokey Robinson and The Temptations. Conversely, his vocal style owes more to the gospel background he shares with the grittier acts of rival label Stax Records, such as Redding, Sam Cooke and The Staples Singers.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not the first critic to make the obvious allusion to Redding, and I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the last. Normally, I view such comparisons as hyperbolic nonsense or, worse, lazy writing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially when music scribes invoke O-TI-S. But here, I acquiesce. It is astonishing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and uplifting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for an artist to be so genuinely rooted in the golden age of a genre that he almost sounds out of place in the present day is astonishing.

Ryan Shaw will park his time machine at Nectarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this Wednesday, June 6. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough plutonium to get back to whenever the hell heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really from. Local funk-fusion act, The Jennifer Hartswick Band, opens the show.

DAN BOLLES

Burlington rockers The New Siberians have a solid rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll pedigree. Drummer Simon Plumpton plays with or has played with several prominent area bands including Activists/Dictators and Chin Ho! Bassist/vocalist Ted Pappadopoulos logged time with Americana act Go to Blazes, while front man/guitarist Brendan Devitt was a member of long-defunct but still revered Queen City rockers Ninja Custodian. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably why TNSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; selftitled debut sounds so damn well-oiled.

Musically, the band bears a resemblance to the 1980s bands that were lumped into the â&#x20AC;&#x153;college rockâ&#x20AC;? category before the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s alternative explosion laid waste in the name of all things angsty and Pacific Northwestern. Big hooks, strong melodies and ragged guitars are all hallmarks of the Siberiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; robust, if somewhat polite, sound. Reference points include The Replacements, HĂźsker DĂź and The Smithereens.

Occasionally TNS get even more retro, with hints of such â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s power-pop acts as The Raspberries and Big Star finding a way into the mix. But for the most part they stick to the kind of rock that wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been gangbusters around the time of Gary Hartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aborted presidential run. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dated, for sure. But also damn solid.

The disc was recorded at a couple of name-brand Massachusetts studios, including Hi N Dry â&#x20AC;&#x201D; originally operated by Morphineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late leader Mark Sandman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Fort Apache, where such storied bands as The Pixies, The Lemonheads and Dinosaur Jr. once tracked. Production comes courtesy of Tom Dube, who has worked the faders for Juliana Hatfield, Marc Cohn and Richard Thompson. Ex-Morphine sax man Dana Colley makes an appearance on two tunes, and mandolin maestro Jimmy Ryan also pops by.

Hipsters who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accept that well-ordered guitar rock has a place in music might call this record â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dad-rock.â&#x20AC;? The New Siberians definitely show their age, but they do so earnestly and unapologetically, which gives their music an authenticity not found in cool-kid bands.

Songs such as the relaxed-yet-incendiary â&#x20AC;&#x153;1965,â&#x20AC;? the dreamy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Speed Dialâ&#x20AC;? and the riff-roaring â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the Gardenâ&#x20AC;? make scruffily romantic rock sound perfectly viable.

Yet there are a few cracks in the façade. Certainly this stuff is comfortable for the band to play, but passion sometimes takes a backseat to breezy competence. In other words, this record would hardly hold the attention span of the record industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s target market of teenagers and urbanites.

And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too bad, because a lot of these tunes deserve to be heard. Maybe thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be another â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s revival, this one fetishizing the eraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s humble, working-class rock instead of post-punk and goth-pop. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cross my fingers, but if it does happen, The New Siberians will be more than ready.

FRIDAY 01-SUNDAY 03

holy cow Pamplona’s racing bulls aren’t the only bustling bovines in the world. For the sixth year running, bloom-bedecked heifers hoof it down Brattleboro’s Main Street as part of a three-day, 50,000-visitor tribute to sustainable agriculture and family farms.

The local farmers’ market beefs up with a gallery walk, a trapeze act, a chefs’ pavilion, free ice cream and a celebrity milking contest featuring Senator Bernie Sanders. A speech-seasoned cultivator’s feast and self-guided farm tours convey cow know-how. Saturday’s saunter features 100 cloven-hoofed stars, as well as floats, unicyclists, world-champ baton twirlers and a waving, smiling Dairy Princess. That night, moo-vers shimmy at a special contra dance. Udderly divine.

scene@ VERMONT CITY MARATHON BURLINGTON, SUNDAY, MAY 27, 8 A.M. - NOON I like to watch . . . the Vermont City Marathon. And since the running route fully encircles my little house in Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old North End, I embrace the annual event as a rite of summer. As per usual, on Sunday morning I awoke to the loudspeaker call of the marathon muezzin and, coffee in hand, ambled to the east end of my street to witness a sea of stillfresh runners coming the wrong way up Park Street. I was in the very same spot â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the intersection of Manhattan Drive and 127 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when they returned 4 miles later, a little worse for wear but still smiling.

While they ran 8 more miles through the Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s South End, I walked a block west and joined my neighbors gathered on the greenbelt in front of 173 North Street. The draw?

Disco music. Every year Doug and Jenifer Woods blast loud, danceable hits from the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s for the benefit of the pavement-pounding passersby. Nothing speaks to a runner at mile 15.5 like the strains of The Village Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;YMCA.â&#x20AC;?

By then I had started to recognize some of the non-relay runners: After a certain number of sightings, you develop attachments to suffering strangers identifiable either by their costumes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the joker, the bride-to-be, the banana, the woman with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;See Jane Runâ&#x20AC;? T-shirt â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or their gaits, like something out of Monty Pythonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weird Walks.â&#x20AC;? Some people run like kids, all bouncy and bent-kneed. Others keep it crab-like, close to the road.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no correlation, it seems, between the form and the finish line.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth noting the proliferation of iPods. And, yes, I saw a guy take a cellphone call mid-race. But some things never change about the marathon, including, unfortunately, a small number of men who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe their nipples are going to bleed after three-plus hours of rubbing. Running is a passion for anyone who can hoof it 26.2 miles. Maybe, even, a Passion.

Less than a half-mile from the end, I watched one of the fastest runners in the race trip and fall on the asphalt. He picked himself up and raced on, but the spot where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d lain, ever so briefly, was dark with the sweat from his body. On a lighter but no less determined note, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll remember a dude trudging down North Avenue who found it in his very tired body to spell out Y - M - C - A. PAULA ROUTLY

Remember “Take Back Vermont”? The slogan proliferated after the landmark 1999 court case that gave lesbian and gay Vermonters the right to form civil unions, revealing the state’s lack of civil unanimity on same-sex partnerships. When Massachusetts citizens began a similar journey in 2003, photojournalist Marilyn Humphries captured it all on camera, then teamed with Boston-area LGBT historians Patricia Gozemba and Karen Kahn to produce a chronology. The result?

Courting Equality: A Documentary History of America’s First Legal Same-Sex Marriages. The book combines narrative with images of joyous couples, families and courthouse protests. The research motivated Gozemba and Kahn, already longterm life partners, to get married themselves. “We decided we’d be crazy not to,” Gozemba confides. All three co-authors present portions of their oeuvre as part of a multi-state book tour.

Smokers Interested in Quitting!

DIFFERENT STROKES Rowing provides all sorts of trenchant metaphors for life. Take this one: While it may seem easier to go it alone in a single-seater dory, boats with multiple crew members have more power and speed. That is, as long as everyone knows when to stick their oar in. This weekend, teenagers from around New England who’ve trained in traditional 24- and 32foot wooden pilot gigs line up on Lake Champlain, switching up their teams to test their communication, cooperation and skill — all while facing away from where they’re headed. Only pre-registered groups can compete, but watchers are welcome. Afterward, would-be sailors can ogle all sorts of nautical shapes at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum’s newly mounted photo exhibit, featuring images of vessels from around the world.

Free treatment services to help you quit, including Nicotine Patch. earn up to $120 for participating in smoking cessation treatment.

AIR FAIR Need a lift? If seeing 40 balloons bobbing over green hills doesn’t raise your spirits, maybe it’s time to go up in one.

But if getting into a gondola isn’t your cup of tea, don’t worry — there’s more to the Vermont Balloon & Music Festival than hot air. On top of tigers, dancing dogs and a strongman contest, a ferris wheel and other midway rides offer an alternative means of catching some sky. Sixties soul swinger Felix Cavaliere and the U.S. Air Force r&b band Afterburner, among other musical acts, entertain both high-fliers and the ground-bound. Weather permitting, festival goers gaze skyward at fireworks on Friday, and dozens of colorful Japanese-lantern-like globes light up Saturday night’s “balloon glow.” Bottoms up!

guy who lives four hours away. We dated in college, and now we email, talk on the phone (read: have phone sex) and see each other every few months for a weekend. I do care about him, and I think he cares about me too — but we’re both too realistic to bring our relationship to the next level. Neither one of us is Now, here comes the monkey wrench. I recently met a great guy who lives here in Vermont. We’ve been on two dates, had our first (great) kiss, and we already have another date planned. I have a good feeling about him, but what do I do about my relationship of convenience? Should I tell him I’ve started dating someone else? Do I have to stop having phone sex?! What would you do, Mistress?

Thanks, Two Timin’

Dear TT, What would I do? Pop the champagne! You’ve hit the casual dating jackpot — you’ve got one long-distance stud to call when you’re horny and one Vermont cutie to take you out on the town. As long as things remain casual, you can continue dating both gentlemen; however, if one of them asks if you’re seeing anyone else, it’s best to be honest. Don’t go overboard with the details — simply let him know that until your relationship gets more serious, you consider yourself a free agent.

Dating multiple people can be a great time for self-reflection — it forces you to think about what you truly desire from a partner and from life. Just be sure to keep your conscience clean. You won’t always be able to protect others from hurt feelings, but you can do your best to navigate potential dating disasters with kindness. As soon as you feel your heart tugging strongly in one direction, let the other guy go immediately — no one likes to be played for a fool.

Oh, and one last thing — while you may not be in danger of your two hunks running into each other on Church Street, you should still be careful not to call out the wrong name during naughty phone time.

Ring, ring,

MM
