Take A Deep Breath We Vermonters breathe the cleanest air in the nation.

One big reason for this is the safe, clean and reliable power supplied by Vermont Yankee. We supply more than a third of the state’s electricity needs. And, unlike coal- or oilfired plants, we generate electricity with zero greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, we’re so committed to Vermont’s clean air that we’ve pledged $16 million through 2008 to the “Clean Energy Fund,” to combat global warming.

On this subject, Vermonters and Vermont Yankee are in complete agreement. According to the most recent Doyle Town Meeting Day survey, Vermonters believe — by a margin of 3-to-1 — that our state should take the lead in addressing climate change. Vermonters also believe that Vermont Yankee’s license should be renewed in 2012.

So breathe deeply, Vermont, but don’t relax yet. Our clean air is too important to take for granted — and 2012 will be here sooner than we think.

The song title that most accurately reflects my life is... “I Did It My Way�

by Frank Sinatra. I know this sounds lame, but for the most part it has really been true.

My weirdest superstition or paranoia is... spiders!

With me, almost anything goes. Except for spiders. if i weren’t a Mortgage Banker, i would be... the world’s most amazing lawyer, sought after by people because of my knowledge and expertise, my love of life and the joy I get from helping all people.

The best part about summer is... sitting on the Georgia shore in Vermont with my wife and little dog at our

My favorite hobbies are... fishing and boating. if i had a private jet i would... fly around the world looking for the best food and drink, exploring all of the different cultures and environments the globe has to offer.

Something i would like to do but haven’t had the chance is... take my beautiful wife to Italy and then wherever else she would like to go in Europe.

one thing people are surprised to find out about me is... I am the oldest of 10 children, no twins, and for the most part we all get along very, very well, which in itself is very surprising!

WELCH AT HOME I was left with more questions than answers after reading Ken Picardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article that champions Peter Welch as an anti-war Democrat [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welch in Washington,â&#x20AC;? April 23].

Did Peter Welch accept a $3500 donation from Burlington-based contractor General Dynamics or not? If so, is this consistent with Welchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;crack down on war contractor fraud,â&#x20AC;? or his â&#x20AC;&#x153;antiwarâ&#x20AC;? platform? If he did accept the General Dynamics donation, will he agree to do what the Coalition for a Peace Economy is asking of him â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to publicly announce that he will no longer accept donations from the military-industrial complex, and return the $3500 to the people of Vermont by initiating a new Green, Just and Peaceful Economy Fund?

My last question is, why did Picard let Welch off the hook so easily and not ask him these very obvious questions that are not, as Welch claims, representative of simple â&#x20AC;&#x153;frustration,â&#x20AC;? but rather seem to be very clear and rational questions with equally clear yes or no answers?

Oh, yeah â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on another note â&#x20AC;&#x201D; way to go, Seven Days, for joining Welchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hypocrisy by accepting money from Entergy and allowing them to misinform the people of Vermont about how clean and green VT Yankeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nuclear waste is in their sexy green-

washing campaign. It is OK to have principles (even as a business) and to just say NO to advertisements that lie.

Brendan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill BURLINGTON

DESPERATE DENIAL? Jon Margolis simply cannot face the awkward fact that Vermont is the most heavily taxed state in the union [â&#x20AC;&#x153;What So Bad About Vermont?â&#x20AC;? April 23]. When in another publication he attacked the Tax Foundation report that declared this, he showed that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even understand the metric used. So now, in Seven Days, he just declares, without explanation, that â&#x20AC;&#x153;these [unnamed] reportsâ&#x20AC;? are â&#x20AC;&#x153;flat-out wrong.â&#x20AC;? So much for them!

The important metric here is how much Vermont governments claim in taxes in relation to Vermontersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; personal income.

Economists refer to this as â&#x20AC;&#x153;tax burden.â&#x20AC;? In 2007, the Tax Foundation found that after crediting education property tax rebates and adjusting for incidence of taxes imported and exported among the states, Vermont state and local government claimed 14.1 percent of Vermontersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; income. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the highest of any state, 21 percent above the national average.

Others of Margolisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; political persuasion have argued that

Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s system is highly progressive, so the average Vermonterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burden is shifted to the rich. They have also pointed out that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth it: Vermonters get a lot for the taxes they pay.

Gov. Douglas objected that other methodological choices wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have made Vermont look so bad.

These are all respectable debating points.

But for Margolis, the inconvenient news is just â&#x20AC;&#x153;flat-

out wrong.â&#x20AC;? This is not a useful contribution. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just desperate denial.

HOORAY FOR SHAY Shayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back in print! Terrific! I just read his first column, and he is certainly continuing Peter Freyneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

»webpage » don’t mess with horse hobbyists!

Freelancer Alice Levitt sparked a furious flame war online last weekend when she wrote about the 2008 Everything Equine Horse Show at the Champlain Valley Expo for our “Scene@” column.

Each week in “Scene@,” one of our writers attends an event and presents a first-person account of the experience. In her piece, Levitt briefly described the Breyer Model Horse show set up in one of the exhibit rooms.

“Here, the toy horses were serious business,” she wrote. “Though these models are made in a factory from molds, that didn’t stop this club from judging them by conformation-tobreed standards. The more advanced ‘handlers’ even took apart and recalibrated limbs, carefully repainting the animal’s anuses to their breed’s standard coloration. Harnesses were carefully held in place with dental wax. One local woman handmade a medieval knight’s saddle with real leather for a hyperrealistic model jousting match.”

Pretty straightforward, right?

One thing I didn’t mention in my article about the Vermont Yak Company last week was that Rob and Kate Williams, two of the yak farm’s owners, invited me and my husband to their house in Waitsfield for a multi-course yak dinner . . . and, man, does it taste good.

First we snacked on slabs of yak summer sausage, local cheddar and Wolaver’s beer as we toured the farmyard. I must admit it felt a bit strange to be introduced to an animal while holding a slab of summer sausage made out of its cousin, but coming to terms with that kind of thing is all part of farming, right?

Where Have You Gone, Kurt Vonnegut?

I was happy to read this weekend in the New York Times Book Review that a collection of previously unpublished writings by Kurt Vonnegut has just come out. I can’t get enough Vonnegut — he’s got an inimitable way of satirizing the absurdity of real life by creating his own absurd world of fiction. He and Orwell are the ones I think of when I listen to the news in the morning and get struck by the truth-is-strangerthan-fiction quality of some of the stories. I jotted down a few such stories that I heard on Morning Edition last week, all in the same day:

» 7dtv Did you miss the opening of Kat Clear’s new art show at the Flynndog? See a short video of the event on our website.

And for a preview of summer, check out Bob Kilpatrick’s footage from last year’s Burlington Farmer’s Market, featuring banjo and fiddle music from Joe and John Cleary, and Tom Azarian on the “Dancing Whirligig.”

1. “Adventure capitalists” have secured a 50-year lease of one of Baghdad’s public parks, and plan to construct a Disney-like theme park, replete with a water park wherein cartoon images are displayed in the mist created by the fountains. This is in a city that has less than 6 hours of electricity per day, and where car bombs and random violence have become as commonplace as jaywalkers in New York City. To their credit, the plucky financiers pull no punches about their motives: They readily admit that they only care about building up the community infrastructure to the extent that it makes them richer.

As of Tuesday morning, the topic had attracted 172 responses, most of them negative. “What the hell is she doing in journalism?” writes one neigh-sayer. “A woman with a bad attitude on life. To use swear words in print. And comments about poop and genitalia. What the hell?”

2. Army hospitals are struggling to stop overdoses by injured veterans of the Iraq war. Reportedly, vets are being drugged into a near-comatose state for much of their day, with a cocktail of up to 11 different medications. This is happening in what the Army calls “Warrior Transition Units.” One poor warrior at Fort Knox was left in his room for two days or more — unconscious — and was found dead when someone finally decided to check on him.

hamplain College has spent a lot of time lately trying to sell its neighbors and the Burlington City Council on a plan to buy property near the heart of downtown, tear down a building, and construct new apartments for 200 students.

The building, at 194 St. Paul Street, belongs to the Eagles Club, a national nonprofit with 20 Vermont branches. Its demolition, which is pending city approval, would be the first step in the college’s plan to eventually build

the city planning commission, is among the neighbors who sued the school over the Maple Street project.

Provost argues it isn’t “transparent” for someone involved in litigation against the college to rule on issues that could impact its future. Williams, who lives on South Union Street, said that because the planning commission doesn’t rule on individual projects, “It’s difficult for me to see any conflict of interest.”

If Champlain College doesn’t build there, it’s likely that someone’s going to build there.

BURLINGTON MAYOR BOB KISS

new housing in Burlington for 600 students. Champlain College president David Finney believes the Eagles Club deal would result in a “win-win” for both the school and the city.

But public meetings on the project have exposed longstanding tensions between the college, its neighbors and the City of Burlington.

One issue is a lawsuit, pending in the Vermont Supreme Court, over Champlain College’s 94-bed dorm on Maple Street, which opened in January. The neighbors argue that the project went forward without a parking plan and violated the city’s zoning ordinance. Another is the college’s 2006 Master Plan, which, according to Finney, the city has been reluctant to incorporate into its zoning bylaws.

Moreover, David Provost, vice president of finance and administration for Champlain College, said he’s concerned that Norm Williams, an attorney who also serves as a volunteer member of

agreed. “We believe there is nothing wrong with Norm Williams — or any planning commissioner — having a personal point of view regarding what they view as appropriate development,” Shatz said.

The Eagles Club project is being considered in relation to a 1994 “Memorandum of Understanding” between Champlain College and the city. The memo allows for “reasonable growth” inside Champlain’s “core campus,” a nearby “transitional area” and Burlington’s central business district.

The Eagles Club lies beyond those areas, so the college has had to take its case for expansion to the city and its neighbors, some of whom met April 30 to express their fears about noise and parking.

Finney points out that the college is employing “stop-gap measures” to meet the current housing needs of students. For instance, 200 Champlain students are living at the Spinner Place complex in

downtown Winooski. New student apartments, the president says, would ease pressure on the local affordable-housing market, without pushing the college’s more than 1800 enrollment past 2000.

Finney added, “To be viable and compete effectively, Champlain needs to house virtually all of its students.”

Jane Knodell (P-Ward 2), who was among those meeting with residents in April, said the Eagles Club acquisition wouldn’t be a “huge stretch” from the 1994 memo, which obliges the city and college to work together to house Champlain’s students. “We have to work with them to figure out how they’re going to do that,” she said.

Michael Rooney, a Ward 6 steering committee member, complained that the college “trots out” the 1994 memorandum of understanding whenever it needs something from the city. Rooney and his wife, Susan Dorn, whose $625,000 property abuts college, support the Eagles Club project.

But Rooney said they also worry about the future growth of the school.

Jerry Manock, a Kingsland Terrace resident, opposes the deal.

A party to the lawsuit over the Maple Street dorm, Manock said the college is running a smart campaign.

“On the other hand,” he added, “they’re expanding in this unsustainable way, and any neighbors that try to voice their opinions are considered obstructionist.”

On Monday, the city council agreed unanimously to grant conditional approval for the project. Champlain College has until May 12 to address the council’s concerns and report back.

After Monday’s council meeting at City Hall, Mayor Kiss noted, “From a city perspective, if Champlain College doesn’t build there, it’s likely that someone’s going to build there.” >

VERMONT LEGISLATORS Lawmakers approve a $4.2 billion budget and pack it in two weeks early. Could be evidence of Yankee thrift or Symington for Governor.

COLCHESTER HOUSING PROJECT TICKS OFF NEIGHBORS Tim Riddle knew a large housing project was planned for the woods behind his house when he moved to Malletts Bay Avenue a couple years ago. What he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know was that the developer would sell the project to a nonprofit housing group, or that the $240,000 condominiums planned for the site would be replaced by rental housing for low- and moderate-income residents.

The land in question is 28.5 acres on the Colchester-Winooski border, at the confluence of Morehouse Brook and the Winooski River. When Riddle moved in, the property was owned by

mon-thurs 10-7pm fri-sat 10-8pm â&#x20AC;˘ sun 11-6pm 40 church street, burlington â&#x20AC;˘ 862-5051 â&#x20AC;˘ sweetladyjane.biz Milot Real Estate, which was planning to build 44 townhouses. But in early April, the nonprofit Housing Vermont purchased the land, which had already been approved for development. The new developers also had $6 million in Low-Income Housing Tax Credits from the Vermont Housing Finance Agency.

Riddle says he and his neighbors were â&#x20AC;&#x153;resignedâ&#x20AC;? to owner-occupied condos, but were caught off guard

by Housing Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to build for renters. They want the nonprofit development team to go through the permitting process again.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not likely to happen. For one thing, few people would deny that Chittenden County sorely needs more affordable rental housing. For another, the project managed to leverage $350,000 in federal funding to improve the quality of Morehouse Brook, which has been deemed an â&#x20AC;&#x153;impairedâ&#x20AC;? waterway by the Agency of Natural Resources.

Brenda Torpy, executive director of Champlain Housing Trust, a partner on the project, says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think this is the kind of thing a private owner would be asked to do.â&#x20AC;?

Green building is hardly black and white. The national protocols â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the so-called LEED standards, for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Leadership in Energy and Designâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t account for regional nuance.

So, eight years ago, Burlington-based Building for Social Responsibility developed its own standards. The initiative, called Vermont Builds Greener, established region-specific building guidelines for enviro-friendly Vermont houses. In 2005, VBG was linked with â&#x20AC;&#x153;LEED for Homes,â&#x20AC;? a new certification program by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). That union, says Peter Schneider, a project manager for Vermont Energy Investment Corporation, frustrated the VBG folks, who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the national councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top-down strategy.

Now, Schneider says, VBG has parted ways with the council. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear what the Vermont-centric certification guidelines will look like, but the ultimate goal is a statewide green-building standard.

Ironically, USGBC is now planning to roll out its own region-specific LEED program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just trying to create this common standard that folks know they can trust,â&#x20AC;? Schneider says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, a lot of people are trying to take hold of green building and run with it in different directions.â&#x20AC;?

Indeed, he adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fairly complicated.â&#x20AC;?

CODE WAR TRUCE

The Arabic translation of Al Jazeera is â&#x20AC;&#x153;the island.â&#x20AC;?

But now, that island is about to be deep-sixed off the West Coast of New England.

Community outcry has forced Burlington Telecom to pull the Arab news networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s English-language broadcast from its programming. General Manager Chris Burns wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discuss the details of the change, citing â&#x20AC;&#x153;contractual issuesâ&#x20AC;? that are still being hashed out. He did say, however, that since the city-owned cable channel, which has 2100 subscribers, began carrying Al Jazeera last year, his office has received â&#x20AC;&#x153;dozensâ&#x20AC;? of complaints from angry customers demanding that it be yanked.

Al Jazeera was launched from Qatar in 1996. It has long been criticized in the West for its â&#x20AC;&#x153;antiAmerican and anti-Israelâ&#x20AC;? bias and, in particular, for broadcasting tapes released by Osama bin Laden. Among those critical of the network are Paul Laffal and Jeffrey Kaufman, of the Israel Center of Vermont, who told the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s members that â&#x20AC;&#x153;hate speech insidiously presented as news serves only to undermine the basic tenets of democracy.â&#x20AC;?

But many in the Arab world, particularly academics, have lauded the station for a more balanced and objective coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the war in Iraq. Al Jazeera claims a worldwide viewership of more than 100 million households and is the most-watched news network in the Middle East.

Burlington Telecom is one of just two cable systems in the United States carrying Al Jazeera right now; the other is Buckeye Cable in Ohio. The network is also available via broadband. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a small cable TV carrier in Burlington trying to acquire more business,â&#x20AC;? Burns said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to stir up more dust.â&#x20AC;?

o v. Jim Douglas was talking the talk at last Thursday’s kickoff of the 2008 “Way to Go! Commuter Challenge.”

The annual springtime event is meant to encourage Vermonters to incorporate more eco-friendly travel alternatives into their daily commute, such as bicycling, walking, carpooling and public transportation.

Surrounded by five Vermont mayors and fifth-graders from Union Elementary School in Montpelier, Douglas signed a pledge to “make smart, healthy travel choices” this week, just as nearly 2000 other Vermont commuters did during last year’s challenge.

he planned to bike to work from Burlington at least once this week, an 80-mile round-trip pedal.

Take the bus, governor? Sorry, he said, but it’s impractical for him to spend an hour riding north to Burlington only to head south again for another 45 minutes. Carpooling? He’d have to check his schedule. The governor did point out that he switched from his predecessor’s vehicle, an SUV, to his current ride, a Chevy Impala, but couldn’t say what kind of gas mileage the car gets. “I know it’s better than an SUV.” Perhaps Douglas can be forgiven for not taking advantage of the limited transit options between

Officials say that while funding for bike/ped projects is down slightly this year — $5.5 million for 2009 versus $6 million in the 2008 budget — transportation dollars are tight all around.

The event, which runs through May 9, is good for the environment, good for the economy and good for our wallets, Douglas told a crowd of 80 people in the Christ Church pocket park in Montpelier.

Organizers predicted that in one week alone, the commuter challenge will cut private vehicle usage by 600,000 miles, rid the air of a half-million pounds of greenhouse gases, and save Vermonters $100,000 in travel expenses.

“Vermont is the greenest state in America,” Douglas said. “That was in Forbes’ magazine, so it must be true.”

Must be. But asked afterwards how he intends to “go green” to work this week, Douglas was a bit more cagey. Clearly, cycling to the Statehouse from his home in Middlebury was out of the question — though his Secretary of Transportation, Neale Lunderville, said

Middlebury and Montpelier. But that’s the whole point, say bike and pedestrian advocates. They complain that when it comes to transportation spending in next year’s budget, neither Douglas nor the legislature is devoting enough to alternative modes of transportation all year round.

“What direction do you want Vermonters to go in the future?”

Nancy Schulz, executive director of the Vermont Bicycle and Pedestrian Coalition, said last week. “If we really believe that obesity is a problem, if we really believe that global warming is a serious problem, and fuel prices and healthcare costs and traffic congestion and parking shortages . . . then you can’t say that you care about all these issues and do what you’re doing to bike/ped. They just don’t jive.”

Schulz and other bike/ped ac-

tivists did celebrate one small victory late last week. A legislative conference committee removed a provision from a bill that would have frozen all future bike/ped projects under the federal “enhancement grant” program. The state hasn’t been accepting applications for new bike/ped projects under that program since 2004, when, according to Lunderville, it was determined that there were already enough projects in the pipeline to last until 2013.

But administration officials also say that while funding for bike/ped projects is down slightly this fiscal year — $5.5 million in 2009 versus $6 million in the 2008 budget — transportation dollars are tight all around.

“We have to focus on those things that we can’t live without, like bridges,” Lunderville said.

“Which is not to say that bike and pedestrian projects aren’t important. But they’re part of the overall matrix of what we’re doing.”

Moreover, as Lunderville pointed out, many of the road and bridge projects being done by the Vermont Department of Transportation incorporate upgrades and improvements that benefit cyclists and pedestrians, but aren’t necessarily captured in the statistics, such as the $12 million for shoulder widening and sidewalk repairs.

“I do a lot of biking myself,” Lunderville added, “and the difference between 1 foot and 3 feet of shoulder can make a world of difference.”

Currently, the state has nearly $39 million “in the pipeline” for future bike and pedestrian upgrades, asserted VTRANS spokesman John Zicconi, not including the $5 million federal “Safe Route to School” program to build infrastructure so kids can walk or bike to school.

“Somewhere out there people are getting the impression that we’re stopping bike/ped projects,” Zicconi noted, “and that’s just not the case.” >

Special Brunch & Dinner Menu

h, spring: time for the crack of the bat, the smell of the compost, the end of another legislative session and â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in an even-numbered year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the official start of the Vermont campaign season.

This week, lawmakers will scurry off to vacations or head back to their jobs, and the governor will hit the ribbon-cutting road doing what he does best: getting out and talking to people.

But his potential challengers are doing some public outreach, too.

As we noted last week, plenty of Democrats hope House Speaker Gaye Symington will challenge Gov. Jim Douglas this fall. Symington appeared on WVMTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charlie & Ernie Showâ&#x20AC;?

Monday but would only say sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking the next week or two to make up her mind about a run. Sources tell Seven Days Symington might announce her candidacy as early as next Monday.

Last Thursday, Republican Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie announced on the same popular morning radio show that he would seek reelection. You could almost hear Republicans around the state heave a collective sigh of relief.

Some Democrats arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waiting for Symington, though, and have already begun to flock to Progressive Anthony

crats for Pollinaâ&#x20AC;? group, according to one supporter.

John Burgess, a Lamoille County Democrat who sits on town, county and state Democratic committees, is another Pollina backer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no knock against Gaye,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bright and able.â&#x20AC;?

But Burgess believes the Prog brings a different style of leadership to the table. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to say that support for Anthony is 100 percent based on the issues,â&#x20AC;? Burgess added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He made a significant impact on the Democrats in Lamoille County.â&#x20AC;? Pollina has also just received the endorsement of two major unions: the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 2326, and Ironworkers Local 7.

Symington told Seven Days she is not concerned about Pollinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to woo Democrats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My focus is on Jim Douglas, and I think the people of this state are ready for a change and a sense that someone is providing leadership,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are only going pothole by pothole â&#x20AC;&#x201D; no one is looking at the whole road, or even down the road.â&#x20AC;?

Pollinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign. Pollina launched his statewide â&#x20AC;&#x153;Build a Better Vermontâ&#x20AC;? tour Sunday in Stowe, where about 50 people showed up for brunch and a policy discussion. The attendees included the county chairman of the Republican Party and a GOP operative with a video camera who taped the event. For posterity, no doubt.

Pollina was on the airwaves this week, too, with a radio spot talking up his statewide tour. The ad opens with a familiar voice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that of Ben & Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cofounder Ben Cohen. In the ad, Cohen says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a Democrat, a Progressive and an independent, and as all three heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s endorsing Pollina.

Cohenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not losing sleep over the fact that Ben & Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employed Chuck Lacy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Speaker Symingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as its president and chief operating officer, from 1991 to 1995.

Small states are so much fun.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also easy to crisscross. Pollina has been trekking around Vermont over the past week, speaking to and making inroads with Democrats. After one such meeting in Lamoille County, about 18 signed up to join the fledgling â&#x20AC;&#x153;Demo-

identify the winners and losers of this legislative session. So allow me to add a few of my own â&#x20AC;&#x153;winnerâ&#x20AC;? picks to the heap.

Despite some grumbling about the Democrats giving Douglas the two-day sales-tax holiday he wanted â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which will have a negligible impact on the economy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; most everyone is glad the session ended without too much damage.

Rep. Mark Larson (D-Burlington) was tapped at the end of the session to review Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; so-called stimulus package and separate the wheat from the chaff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the budget and the stimulus package highlighted the differences between the governor and the Democratic legislature,â&#x20AC;? he opined, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and it was a distinction between the long-term solutions aimed at helping folks who are having a hard time paying their bills and short-term symbolic fixes.â&#x20AC;?

The Democrats tossed aside pretty much all that Douglas offered and passed their own stimulus package. They kept the sales-tax holiday and replaced other key components, including investments in workforce training, low-interest

loans for businesses who need them, and money for housing construction. The Dems also rejected another attempt to water down Act 250 to boost housing development, as well as an attempt to give income-tax breaks to businesses and pass them off as payroll-tax cuts to benefit employees.

Despite the overhaul of his proposal, the governor, according to Larson, sounded more congenial at the sessionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end.

Oddly, Douglas was quiet on key news of the sessionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last day: Symingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement that she was not seeking reelection as Speaker.

The Democrats left Douglas with an easy way to undo their hard work: They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t schedule a veto session. That decision could come back to haunt them later this year. In fact, Douglas is already working on an angle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are going to go out and say we should be thankful they saved taxpayers nearly half a million dollars by leaving

holidays to be a gimmick.

Largely, these â&#x20AC;&#x153;holidaysâ&#x20AC;? lure consumers into buying items they would not have otherwise bought. This means they have less to spend on items they might really need later on.

Of course, it helps if you actually have the extra money to buy something in the first place. Minor detail.

How is Vermont going to make up for the lost $2 million expected from the sales-tax break? Douglas took it from the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s petroleum cleanup fund, which gas-station owners can access to help get rid of old underground storage tanks.

Plenty of folks were downright perplexed that the Democrats came out swinging against the gimmick, and then supported it anyway.

The truth is, Douglas would have made sure the session ground to a halt if Democrats had opposed it. Given the measureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relative insignificance, they opted to keep it in â&#x20AC;&#x201D; perhaps to

Plenty of folks were downright perplexed that the Democrats came out swinging against the sales-tax holiday, and then supported it anyway. early,â&#x20AC;? Douglas said at a GOP fundraiser last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like retailers who raise the price and then lower it to say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a big sale and saving you a lot of money. They will say that this has been a shorter session than in some years, but they have spent an awful lot of money on consultants and special meetings and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a whole lot to show for it,â&#x20AC;?

Douglas contended. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be talking a lot about that in the coming six months.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the governor, folks.

Intervale Compost: A winner.

Legislation passed in the sessionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last days allows the compost project to stay open another two years without having to get an Act 250 permit. One other operation, Vermont Compost in Montpelier, will also get a pass while some bright minds figure out how best to regulate these operations.

Vermont drivers: More winners. Gov. Douglas finally relented to the Democrats, after years of opposition, to raising money for bridge and road repairs through state-issued bonds. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only taken since his state-treasurer days to change his mind on this one. Hey, filling potholes works as well as cutting ribbons when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for votes.

Vermont Yankee: Another winner. For the second year in a row, tough legislation that would squeeze some cash out of Entergy, owner of the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant, will die with a stroke of the veto pen from Gov. Douglas.

Nothing like having friends in high places, and it hardly costs Entergy a dime. The Louisianabased corporation plunked down a mere $1000 for the last gubernatorial ball. A pittance.

One astute reader did take me to task after last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column. I dismissed Entergyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claims that living up to its financial obligations to Vermont would sink the company. The reader told me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mon, Shay, poor olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Entergy only made $39.61 per second in the first quarter. If Vermont canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give a break to a company that made $2376.54 per minute in the first quarter, who can it give a break to?â&#x20AC;?

Entergy is always looking for a break, too. When the sale of

To reach Shay Totten, email shay@sevendaysvt.com.

Vermont Yankee was approved in 2002, Entergy did not want to share any excess from the decommissioning fund (assuming there would be any) with Vermont ratepayers. They wanted all excess profits from the fund, saying they would be taking all the risk.

The Vermont Public Service Board ruled otherwise, saying Entergy had to share any excess with both in-state and out-ofstate owners, since ratepayers had been tapped to fill the fund prior to the sale. Entergy nearly walked away from the deal, but the out-of-state owners â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a consortium of New Englandbased utilities that holds 45 percent of shares â&#x20AC;&#x201D; agreed to grant Entergy the right to their excess money in the decommissioning fund. Vermont utilities can still lay claim to any leftover largesse down the road.

But, thanks to Gov. Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; veto threat, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not likely Vermont utilities are going to see a payoff anytime soon.

Consumers and retailers: Another set of winners in this session. Since weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to find ways to pony up money for the decommissioning fund gap, I guess weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need that sales-tax holiday after all. The trick is how to turn an estimated $2 million in savings into $400 million.

While we win out on this one, not everyone wins equally.

Both the conservative Tax Foundation and the more liberal Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy find sales-tax

Perfect Pitch â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As one season wound down, another wound up on a Burlington ballfield, where dozens of 5- to 12-year-olds, flanked by coaches, parents and onlookers, gathered for opening day of the Center City Little League. On hand to toss the ceremonial first pitch was U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, who helped get the league going 25 years ago when he was mayor. Sanders tossed a hard fastball over the plate for a strike, only to see it dropped by current Mayor Bob Kiss, who was playing catcher.

You can read whatever you want into that one.

Mr. Welch in Washington â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As if recent front-page treatment in Seven Days wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, freshman Rep. Peter Welch got a nice two-page spread in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Journal under the headline: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Savvy Minus the Seniority.â&#x20AC;? The Washington insider mag profiled Welch as an up-and-comer in the House, and one at ease in the chamber.

Chairman Henry Waxman (DCA) said of Welch, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very smart, and he takes the initiative . . . he has a very bright future.â&#x20AC;?

BARRE BEEF Loved your article on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ladiesâ&#x20AC;? of the road. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a shame you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice that for the past two years, Wilkens Harley-Davidson in Barre has been holding the same event!

Maybe a little bit of mention of this would have been a plus.

Wilkens is a great dealership, with a great family at the helm.

Barbara Wilkens is still a present and active member of the business. I was extremely glad to see her at the event, April 24, where they collected â&#x20AC;&#x153;goodiesâ&#x20AC;? for our troops overseas. So sorry that Seven Days neglected this event also.

Maybe you need to start to look east for more information about the goings-on in our state.

There are a lot of readers that live out of Chittenden County.

And, to all you ladies out there on two wheels (no matter what make or model) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; keep rolling, keep smiling and show all those guys you can still be sexy with bugs in your teeth!

Cindy Barrows Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Note: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive a press release from Wilkens.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all it takes to get an event in the calendar.

NEIGHSAYING The writer of this article came to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything Equine,â&#x20AC;? rated as one of the best events in Vermont, and proceeded to express her disgust and boredom with all things equine [â&#x20AC;&#x153;scene@,â&#x20AC;?

April 30].

I attended the event with my family, some of whom are not even particularly interested in horses, and we all had a wonderful day. Horses have long been recognized as

beautiful animals that have been immeasurably valuable companions and workers for the human race.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strange and rather disturbing that your â&#x20AC;&#x153;reporterâ&#x20AC;? came to this event and was so fixated on horse anuses and feces. Next time, send her to the Scatological Society Convention or something more in her line of expertise! This was an ignorant, disgusting and embarrassing little article!

Joan Goldsworthy RANDOLPH

WATCH YOUR STEP As a horse enthusiast and UVM English alum, I was deeply disappointed when the perverse article on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything Equineâ&#x20AC;? confronted me [â&#x20AC;&#x153;scene@,â&#x20AC;? April 30].

Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest horse event showcased numerous educational seminars, demonstrations, vendors and renowned equine experts, yet Alice Levitt settled on descriptions of horse by-product repeatedly. Her inappropriate focus led her to incorporate crude verbiage such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;turdsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;animalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; anuses,â&#x20AC;? leaving me disgusted and shocked.

Missing from this inane article were the countless faces (such as Betsy Greene, University of Vermont, and Jill Floyd, Guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farm & Yard) behind the scene of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything Equine,â&#x20AC;? whose devotion to the industry have allowed equine enthusiasts the rare opportunity to hear from local and national experts.

Among the numerous special guests were Jane Savoie, an internationally respected author and clinician; Ellen Feld, author of a popular childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book series about her Morgan, BlackJack; and equine stars such as screenwriter John Fuscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oscar, famous for his role in Hidalgo.

Horses (whether live or model) are not for everyone, but professional journalism refrains from the type of slanted opinion that spewed forth from Ms. Levitt. Immediately it was apparent that your â&#x20AC;&#x153;reporterâ&#x20AC;? did not want to cover a horse expo. As a model-horse shower, I was upset that the media we welcomed decided to portray us with brutal inaccuracy. Our local horse industry is a valuable asset to this stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy as well as an integral part of many of your readersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives; this should not have been made into a mockery.

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that they know from mud season. Friedman and Partridge founded Mud Time Theater in 2007 â&#x20AC;&#x153;to create plays of particular interest to year-round Vermonters,â&#x20AC;? according to the site. Or, as Friedman puts it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;not hotsy-totsy New York theater, but something relevant to Vermont.â&#x20AC;?

Enter Mildred Taken Crazy, which the couple developed because â&#x20AC;&#x153;passion makes theater worth watching,â&#x20AC;? says Friedman.

have been performing together since 1970. Both are veterans of the San Francisco Mime Troupe and Modern Times Theater of New York City and have staged original and classic works on several continents, won numerous awards, and taught theater at several colleges.

Their last academic tenure was at Barnard College, from which they took early retirement and relocated to Vermont two years ago.

But the couple has had a much longer relationship with the state â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for Partridge, since the age of 8. She has family here, including sister-in-law Rep. Carolyn Partridge (D-Windham). Daughter Rose Cheney Friedman worked with Bread and Puppet Theater â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and was married at its Glover headquarters last year.

To sum up two such rich and fascinating careers in such a small space seems almost criminal, but better bios of Friedman and Partridge are available on their website, www.mudtimetheater.com.

That address hints that the pair has not retired from the stage

other woman over a man who was engaged to both of them. (Why the two women did not kill the two-timing man instead remains a mystery.) In any event, the murder was a sensation throughout the eastern U.S., according to these playwrights (who learned about it from a poster belonging to a friend in New York). Such an act was unheard of at the time, especially committed by a woman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and in low-crime Vermont.

Mildred Brewster was sent to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;asylumâ&#x20AC;? in Waterbury and then disappeared from the historical record. Until now.

With the zeal of doctoral students, Friedman and Partridge have researched the case extensively, poring over crumbling newspaper microfilm in Vermont, and engaging librarians as far away as Baton Rouge in the hunt.

For a long time, Mildredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fate was â&#x20AC;&#x153;stuck at age 30.â&#x20AC;? Then they found more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The piece keeps evolving,â&#x20AC;? says Partridge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We work on it all the time.â&#x20AC;?

What remains constant is the

bare-bones presentation of the material, which combines â&#x20AC;&#x153;song, drama and storytelling to help the audience feel and think its way through a moment of violence with far-reaching consequences.â&#x20AC;?

This with two actors and only a single chair for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;set.â&#x20AC;? That portability serves Mud Timeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission of bringing theater anywhere â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from stages to living rooms, schools to prisons. Friedman and Partridge have played in all those places and more, even the Statehouse on Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to break the boundaries of where theater could be performed,â&#x20AC;? Partridge says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intended to show itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible to do theater with almost nothing,â&#x20AC;?

Friedman adds.

Next week, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bring Mildred Taken Crazy to the Outer Space CafĂŠ in Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flynndog building.

Though the performance is free, the cafĂŠ is serving a gourmet meal just prior â&#x20AC;&#x201D; making it almost dinner theater. Friedman and Partridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s connection in Burlington is former student Emily Anderson, of VSA Arts of Vermont and the Awareness Theater Company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a publicity machine here,â&#x20AC;? notes Friedman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we need to find everywhere [in Vermont] is a person whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interested in making it happen.â&#x20AC;?

Chances are the Mud Time two wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much trouble finding more venues for Mildred. After all, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone is interested in love,â&#x20AC;?

Friedman points out. The play â&#x20AC;&#x153;is about a woman whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to remake her life. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all always trying to remake our lives.â&#x20AC;? > Mildred Taken Crazy, presented

by Mud Time Theater, will be performed Wednesday, May 14, at the Outer Space CafĂŠ, 208 Flynn Avenue (Flynndog), Burlington, 8 p.m. Dinner, at 7 p.m., is $13. No reservations. For more info, visit www.mudtimetheater.com or www. flynndog.net.

SECURITY

Shelburne Museum Gets Itself a New Cop

With Near Eastern, Egyptian, Mediterranean, and prehistoric Vermont objects, the Ancient

BY MATT SCANLON

Art and Archaeology collection encompasses broad

A

fter 21 years of wearing an officer’s badge in the largest municipal police force in the State, Stephen Dixon had to learn to be the top cop in a small town, and he had six weeks to do it.

After a career with the Burlington Police Department that took him from street patrol to canine officer duty and ultimately to an administrative post as head of recruitment, Dixon, 45, has been appointed the director of protection services for the Shelburne Museum. Museum Director Stephan Jost announced the hire in a press release last week, though Dixon has actually been on the job since March 31.

“And I’ve needed every second of that time,” he says during an interview in the museum’s administration building on Shelburne Road. “Because it really is a town here: 45 acres, 39 exhibit buildings, barns, a lighthouse, a café, a schoolhouse . . . and a jail. This is as far from a conventional museum site as you’re likely to get, so there was some very quick learning to do before we open on May 18.”

Dixon will not be questioning suspects in the circa 1890 jailhouse, which was transported to the site from Castleton in 1953 as an exhibit, along with 24 other historic buildings brought to the museum by its founder, Electra Havemeyer Webb (1888-1960). Still, for this new security chief and his 12member staff, the structure is on a list of concerns that includes 150,000 works of art, the behavior and welfare of 110,000 yearly visitors, and a physical plant that exceeds the Metropolitan Museum of Art in patrolled space.

historical periods.

Highlights include this 8th century BCE Olpe, or wine jug, used by the ancient greeks to transfer wine from the Krater, a large vase in which wine and water was mixed, to the cup.

Olpe (wine jug), Greek, Attic, 9th-8th ce. BCE. Ceramic Museum Purchase

on Fifth Avenue in New York City, measures 32 acres.)

During his time with the BPD, Dixon received Life Saving Awards from both Sen. Patrick Leahy and the Burlington Rotary Club, and was once named Burlington City Employee of the Year. His time in uniform was more than enough to guarantee him full pension, so why would he opt for a raft of new worries rather than a life of leisure at home in Milton? “[The museum] was actually one of the first places I visited when I moved to Vermont,” Dixon notes. “And this is the only job that could ever have taken me away from the force, really. If I didn’t get it, I’d still be at my desk. But everything they needed here,” he continues, “was experience I’d acquired at the BPD: security technology, training, hiring, administration . . . everything. It was almost spooky.”

Dixon also admits to being a mechanical-artifact junkie. He has rebuilt old airplanes, army trucks

and a three-wheeled Czechoslovakian motorcycle. To him, getting the opportunity to crawl around exhibits like the passenger steamer Ticonderoga seemed like nothing less than kismet at work.

“What do you do when you have a passion for history and security?”

Dixon says, smiling. “I’d really have to move to a Civil War museum-rich place like Virginia if I wanted to come close to this kind of job.”

As for the heavy burden of ensuring a safe environment for the priceless paintings by Monet, Manet, Degas and Cassatt — never mind what may be the most impressive collection of folk art in the nation — Dixon embraces a stressreducing brand of relativism.

“You just go from concern to concern, and you try not to keep a running tab of what’s more important. It’s all important, from helping to safely see a piece of art in or out of the museum to keeping kids from jumping on the couches. Small-town-cop stuff . . . just writ large.” >

UVM Students Launch New Arts Web Zine

Courses & Workshops

S

ometimes it takes a bunch of completely stoked twentysomethings to remind everyone that the Queen City, like, totally rules. University of Vermont students Connor Boals, 20, and Lily March, 21, are so enthusiastic about Burlington’s creative scene they’ve founded an online magazine about it. “We’re all just really in love with Burlington,” confessed March, the magazine’s art director, at the launch party last Wednesday night at Halvorson’s.

Their creation, phoebe. — small p, statement-making period — contributes to B-town’s artsy scene itself. Freed from the cost of print, the 58-page semesterly zine — presented via a Flash-based, magazine-format viewer — is attractively laid out and dense with full-color photos that pay attention to form. One image vividly capures tattoo artist Rachel Schilling’s bottles of colored ink; another, the green curl of Champ’s neck on the side of the ECHO Center. In a nine-page fashion shoot

Bruderle — a freshman with an uncanny eye for light — Burlington suddenly looks way cooler than New York City: Student models strike disaffected, ironic poses with a Welsh Corgi, or smash in a TV on the abandoned concrete tail end of 289. The clothing was donated by, among other hip outfitters, Maven, Steez, Stella and Tribeca, said a thrilled style editor, Magdalena Jensen, 21.

The articles enthuse about everything from Burlington’s fixedgear bicycle culture to hip-hop locals The Aztext to Pine Street café Four Corners of the World — where the writer accepts a sandwich with “semi-riotous adulation.” Boals, a former features editor of the Vermont Cynic, explained that most of phoebe.’s editorial crew have roots in the college weekly but were happy to leave behind the studied objectivity of a newspaper. For the dapper Midwesterner, in fact, phoebe. is “like that obsessive girlfriend that you can’t get out of your life” — though he named it after his

bicycle, not a former sweetheart.

Created in the Cynic’s newsroom, phoebe. took all of a “couple hundred dollars” — donated by two students’ parents — to launch, says March. Through their “intensive Facebook campaign,” the editors attracted student contributors eager for experience. “This is building a portfolio for all of us,” Jensen pointed out. While initially disappointed at not being able to afford print, she said, “our new take is that we’re 100 percent green.”

Eventually, Jensen added, advertisers will “see how the magazine has gone viral and get really excited.”

Editorial Director Boals asserted that phoebe. is the kind of thing people are surprised to find doesn’t already exist in Burlington. (Previous generations have tried, and ultimately failed, to make it with print.) The magazine aficionado subscribes to “15 different artsand-culture mags,” he said. “There are, like, 200 hip magazines like this in New York. But Burlington is a cesspool of creativity. Why are we the first?” >

Ancestral Unemployment

The Dutch government began requiring long-term unemployed citizens to come to terms with their past lives or risk losing unemployment benefits. The governmentfunded mandatory treatment program, called “reincarnation therapy” or “past-life regression,” often involves hypnosis to help people “find experiences from past identities that could be negatively affecting them today,” according to Klaas Boffcher of the Dutch Ruach Boraka Centre for Complementary Therapy. After De Limburger newspaper reported that the government paid $1500 for an unemployed woman in Maastrict to attend a 10-week course, members of parliament challenged Piet Hein Donner, the Dutch social affairs minister, to justify funding not only reincarnation therapy, but also tarot card readings and astrology to help get people back to work.

He was trying to beat the record of 19 hours for the longest

time aloft with party balloons. In January, the priest embarked on a similar adventure, using 600 balloons to carry him on a four-hour voyage that reached an altitude of 17,390 feet.

McIntosh, 27, was arrested in Commerce Township, Mich., after he repeatedly crashed his car into a lingerie shop that refused to hire him. Estimating the damage at $3000, Oakland County Undersheriff Michael McCabe said deputies found McIntosh outside the Intimate Ideas store wearing “facial makeup, lipstick, blue Capri pants, red ‘flip-flops,’ a flowery blouse and a matching flowery women’s bra.”

Standing Up for Sitting Thai police charged Chotisak Onsoong, 27, with offending the dignity of the monarch after he refused to stand during the playing of the royal anthem before the start of a movie, as is customary in Thailand. “It’s the right of any individual to choose what to do,” said Chotisak, who faces 15 years in prison.

Attention Shoppers After a customer reported finding a 24-hour Wal-Mart in Lynchburg, Va., locked at 5 a.m. and spotting a person inside with a gun, police responded to a hostage situation by setting up a barricade.

Police Lt. T.B. Lawton said that after an hour, police contacted employees inside the store and learned there were no hostages, only an exterminator with an air rifle trying to rid the store of birds.

The small birds had been in the store for several weeks and prompted concern from some customers and the Lynchburg Health Department.

Buying vs.

Renting Buying vs. renting a home is a big decision that takes careful consideration. Although there are many costs and responsibilities associated with home ownership, the rewards can be significant. Look at it this way: If you are paying $1,000 per month for an apartment, and your rent increases 5% every year, over the next five years alone you will pay your landlord over $66,000!

Through home ownership you can minimize this huge expense by building equity and benefiting from the tax advantages of home ownership. In fact, depending on your tax bracket, the net monthly cost of owning a home can, in some cases, be less expensive than renting. Today there are still many different types of loan programs available, including low and no down payment mortgages. Housing is an expense that takes a big 2x5-petwarehouseSTANDARD.indd bite out of the monthly budget. If you are a renter you should consider the advantages of purchasing real estate. Home ownership is an achievement that offers a sense of pride, financial stability and tax advantages.

Dear Cecil, How did it come to be that the comedic stereotype of the crazy person is someone who thinks they’re Napoleon?

Doug Frazey

Cecil, Did tin disease contribute to Napoleon’s defeat in Russia?

Mike Z This idea has been around a while, but it gained new oomph with the 2003 publication of the science-history book Napoleon’s Buttons by Penny Le Couteur and Jay

illustration: slug signorino

The delusion that you’re someone famous is encountered at least as often in the comedy writer’s imagination as on the shrink’s couch. For all we know, delusions-ofgrandeur gags predate the written word — there may be some ür-joke back there about believing you’re the guy who discovered fire — but it makes sense that they’d find full flower in the 19th century, when the study of mental illness came into its own.

Now, to make a D.O.G. joke work, you need as a reference point an extremely famous person with some easily recognizable shtick, and as of the mid-1800s, that’s Napoleon Bonaparte. Two centuries on, Napoleon is remembered a bit imprecisely by most — mainly as a dynamic little guy with a strong forehead and a long todo list — but in the years following his roller-coaster run as emperor of France, Napoleon was arguably as famous as it was possible to be in a pre-mass-media world.

Well, maybe Jesus was more famous, but Napoleon was funnier — the hand in the coat, the temper, the hat, etc. Adding to Napoleon’s legend was his penchant for eccentric behavior: British political cartoons savaged him as unstable from the time he invaded Egypt until after his exile to Saint Helena.

So, on one hand you’ve got the notion of the crazy person who thinks he’s someone famous, and on the other you’ve got a staggeringly famous person who happens to have a rep for being crazy. Comedy-wise, it’s peanut butter and jelly.

By the end of the century, the thinking-you’reNapoleon concept had clearly made it into the popular consciousness. In his landmark 1890 treatise The Principles of Psychology, William James describes a typical exhibition of hypnotism in which a subject is, for comic effect, led to believe he’s Napoleon; a character in William De Morgan’s 1907 novel Alice-for-Short thinks he’s Napoleon but is counseled to keep it to himself lest he get locked up.

The earliest filmed version of the gag is almost certainly found in the 1917 Stan Laurel short “Nuts in May.” No complete print survives, but film historian F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre says the story involves Laurel wandering the grounds of an insane asylum doing the Napoleon bit — hat, hand tucked in shirt. (Some of this footage made it into a later Laurel vehicle, Mixed Nuts.)

To the extent that thinking you’re Napoleon remains with us, I’d bet Napoleon Bunny-Part (1956), starring one B. Bunny, did plenty to keep the premise alive.

Burreson. The story says the army Napoleon led into Russia in June 1812 had been outfitted, possibly as a cost-cutting measure, with uniforms held closed by tin buttons. When temperatures dropped during the French retreat later that year, the buttons crumbled, leaving troops exposed to the murderous elements.

Why would this happen? Well, stuff that’s made mostly of tin is susceptible, when subjected to cold, to what’s known as tin disease or tin pest, which causes regular metallic tin (also called white tin) to become gray, powdery, and brittle. When gray tin comes into contact with previously uncontaminated white tin, the condition can spread like a fungus. This change in the bonding structure of tin atoms starts very slowly at 13.2 degrees Celsius (56 degrees Fahrenheit) and speeds up as the temperature decreases, reaching a peak between -30 and -40°C. So tin disease is real, but is the buttons story true?

(Don’t ask Le Couteur and Burreson, who are pretty terse and noncommittal on the topic, considering it’s the name of their book and all.) Me, I’d say probably not.

Consider: (1) Tests performed with tin ingots suggest it’d take maybe 18 months at lowered temperatures to result in appreciable flaking. Napoleon’s Russian campaign lasted less than half that long and didn’t encounter severe cold until the very end. (2) It’s not like tin disease was a big secret in 1812; it had been observed for centuries.

Tin alloys such as pewter were commonly used for buttons, and alloying tin with just 5 percent lead is enough to keep the problem at bay. (3) A mass grave of Napoleon’s soldiers was discovered in Vilnius, Lithuania, in 2002. Helping to identify the 2000-odd bodies as casualties of the hellish 1812 retreat were numerous regimental buttons, many made of tin alloy and still legible after 190 years in the ground.

You also sometimes see tin disease blamed for the failure of Robert Scott’s South Pole expedition in 1912; the idea here is that tin solder used on kerosene cans deteriorated, allowing precious heating fuel to leak away.

Again, not impossible, but unproven.

morally conflicted world. Three preternaturally talented children (ages 14, 12 and 9), starring as Jem, Scout and Dill, braved their charactersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sometimes bewildering journeys with energy and charm.

They set a high standard of naturalism for the ensembleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adult members, who supported the kids well under Kathleen Keenanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capable direction.

Scout appears as two characters simultaneously throughout the play. Scout, the preteen child, takes a central role in the action; Jean Louise (Scoutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s given name), in her early twenties, stands slightly apart and narrates events with the wistful, wry humor of an adult looking back at her childhood. The novelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time frame is condensed into one hot summer and fall in Maycomb, Alabama, a fictionalized version of Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hometown, Monroeville. Jem and Scout are the children of lawyer Atticus Finch, a widower and devoted, though somewhat unconventional, father.

(The kids call him by his first name, for example.)

When precocious Dill comes to stay next door for the summer, Jem and Scout draw him into their favorite pastime: speculating about the mysterious

neighborhood recluse, Boo Radley, who reportedly hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t left his house in decades. The Finch family housekeeper Calpurnia sternly forbids the children from bothering the Radleys, but the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest grows as they find small objects hidden in a nearby tree.

Such petty concerns fade when the local judge enlists Atticus to defend Tom Robinson, a black man accused of raping a young white woman. The town turns on the Finches. Atticus tries to protect the children as much as possible, but their curiosity leads them into conflict with the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hate-filled adults.

On the night before the trial, Jem, Scout and Dill find themselves between Atticus, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guarding Tom at the jail,

was most impressive as the patient, loving father. He convincingly explained Finchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moral convictions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; unusual and unpopular in Maycomb â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to the children as simple common sense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why reasonable people go stark raving mad when anything involving a Negro comes up is something I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretend to understand,â&#x20AC;? Finch declares. Bent adopted an accent that occasionally proved tough to decipher. He sometimes remained a bit too subdued in the courtroom scenes. But overall, his restrained portrait of Finch was effective, and affecting.

Memorable performances abounded among the rest of the company as well.

tifully embodied the defendantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dignity, maintaining good sense in the face of a senseless situation. Mark Roberts shone in two roles: the badgering prosecutor, whose chin juts with arrogant disdain; and Boo Radley, with hunched shoulders and wide-eyed, childlike reticence.

As the alleged victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Bob Ewell, Larry Lambeth hissed and spat like a hungry snake. Hannah Brown portrayed his bedraggled daughter, Mayella, like a wounded animal, alternately lashing out and retreating into herself. Dennis McSorleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sheriff exuded authority with salt-of-the-earth style, while Meredith Watson played Calpurnia with rooted grace.

The most striking element of Tony Tambascoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple scenic design was the large tree â&#x20AC;&#x201D; credited to â&#x20AC;&#x153;tree artistâ&#x20AC;?

Donna Stafford â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fronting the Radleysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worn picket fence. Rope nets swathed a wide, pale trunk, and green nets hung draped from the ceiling to represent foliage. On the opposite side of the stage, the Finchesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; raised porch featured a working porch swing, as well as a screen door and six-over-six sash window leading to the unseen house interior. When the trial began, the actors rolled in simple courtroom furnishings: a painted judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat and witness box at center stage; attorneysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tables and chairs in opposite corners.

Lighting and sound design added subtle layers to the story. In the night scenes, for example, Tambascoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visual scheme featured tense reds. Shawn Sturdevant â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who handled sound and costumes and acted in the ensemble â&#x20AC;&#x201D; delicately scattered the quiet chatter of birds in the background of many scenes.

It greatly increased the sense of summer languor in the early, carefree interludes, and the birdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; later absence darkened the mood.

Now 82, Lee has never written another book, perhaps because her first one was so stunning. To Kill a Mockingbird has never gone out of print (30 million copies and counting), and a 1999 poll of librarians ranked it as the best novel of the century. Courage, kindness and tolerance are powerfully drawn, as are evil, hatred and injustice. At the end of the Lost Nation performance I saw, there were few dry eyes, least of all mine. ďż˝

and a gathering lynch mob. The next day, they sneak into the courtroom to watch, hidden in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;coloredâ&#x20AC;? balcony.

Atticus warns the children that the trial wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end well, but tells them that Tom deserves a vigorous defense anyway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Real courage [is] . . . when you know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what,â&#x20AC;? he explains. Bitter consequences ensue from the inevitable miscarriage of justice. But a surprising ally emerges to avert further tragedy for the children and salvage their sense of hope.

Much of the storyline rests on the children, especially in Act I. At Lost Nation, all three child actors seemed completely at home on stage. Michael Bresette, 14, portrayed protective big brother Jem with the tentative swagger of budding adolescence. Barefoot, athletic and slightly gangly, Bresette showed that while Jem tries to be tough, the teenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bravado often masks vulnerability.

Liz Gilbert, 12, demonstrated great emotional range as the tomboy Scout.

Her face rose or fell, lit up or dimmed, with Scoutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excitement, wonder, outrage and fear at the amazing and terrifying events that unfold. Gilbert also created moving, believable relationships between Scout and the other characters. She made Scout a sassy little sister to Jem, bossy friend to young Dill and loving daughter to Atticus.

The unexpected star of the show, however, was 9-year-old Adam Blachly as Dill. Novelist Lee modeled Dill on Truman Capote, who was her summer neighbor when they were children. (Lee and Capote remained lifelong friends.)

Blachly captured Dillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too-wise-for-hissize essence, with a perky, eager and utterly fearless stage presence. Dillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidence frequently exceeds his knowledge, and Blachly richly displayed this winsome self-assurance with spirited speech, animated eyes and proud physical carriage.

Anna Solowayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s narration as Jean Louise meshed seamlessly with the action.

Dressed elegantly in white, Soloway made the adult Scout an ethereal, reassuring presence. Her gentle smile and smooth drawl lent both calm and poignancy to the storytelling.

Kim Bent played Atticus Finch as a laconic, genteel Southern gentleman. He

ike Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surfers, Vermont anglers tend to be pretty tight-lipped when it comes to sharing their favorite spots. So I was surprised when, after only a little cajoling, Waitsfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peter Cammann agreed to tell me exactly where some smallmouth bass tend to spawn. But he would do so only when the fish were actually there â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the spring phenomenon typically happens in May. When the time was right, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d give me directions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; providing I promised to keep the location secret.

I agreed to the deal with Cammann, 50, a former fishing guide, blogger and author of two fishing books. But on the morning weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d agreed to hook up, it was snowing.

So we met at Burlington Bay CafĂŠ.

Looking relaxed and suspiciously tanned for this time of year, Cammann happily pecked away at his Dell laptop, which is as much a part of his â&#x20AC;&#x153;natural environmentâ&#x20AC;? these days as secret fishing holes. Since March, Cammann has been running The Streamside Guide, a blog containing â&#x20AC;&#x153;observations, confessions and ramblings on fishing.â&#x20AC;? For his worldwide readers, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a refreshingly new take on the sometimes-tedious talk about tackle and travels. But for many Vermonters, the blog is a reprise of an old radio show, and a reminder of their stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bounty.

Cammannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first confession? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a native Vermonter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he grew up in the New

York metro area. As he tells readers in The Streamside Guide, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember exactly where or when he learned to fish, only that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been casting since he was 4 or 5. When he was 12, his mother taught him how to fly fish in a backyard swimming pool in Long Island. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She took a ring, tossed it into the pool and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If you can cast into that ring, wherever it drifts, then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give you a hook,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Cammann recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took me a while, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really not a complicated sport.â&#x20AC;?

Cammann went for it. With a degree from Tufts and some reporting experience at a local paper in Massachusetts, he moved to the Mad River Valley in 1985 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fayston, and later Waitsfield â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and soon began writing articles for Field & Stream, Outdoor Life and Fly Fisherman. Then came the book deals: Fishing Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Streams and Lakes and Ultralight Spin-Fishing were both published by Woodstockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Countryman Press.

Shortly after relocating to the Green Mountains, Cammann also began working as a fly-fishing guide. He kept it up for 10 years until calling it quits in 1996. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I discovered I spent most of my time using my fly rod as a pointer, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The fish is over there,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and watching someone else cast to the fish Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d spotted,â&#x20AC;? said Cammann. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got >> 28A

on the water 100 days a year, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fish very much, and it changed my whole attitude toward fishing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for a while I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fish unless somebody showed up with a credit card.â&#x20AC;?

The writing slowed down, too â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cammann has long worked other jobs and now runs a property-management company in Burlington â&#x20AC;&#x201D; until The Streamside Guide bubbled up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It came about through failure,â&#x20AC;? he said of his blog. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I took an idea for a book, pitched it to a couple of agents and three publishers, and they all said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is fantastic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way we can sell it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

The idea? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking at fishing from the point of view of some-

steady advertisers. Since it debuted, the blog has drawn in about 200 readers, he estimated.

Many are from out-of-state and even overseas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still this great mystique about Vermont, which is very cool,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They like hearing about the Winooski and the Dog River, and they ask about the Batten Kill.â&#x20AC;?

The tricky part, added Cammann, is giving a sense of place without giving the place away. Online information is controversial among the adventureobsessed, as evidenced by the turbulence caused by surf cams that have exposed countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best breaks. For his part, Cammann said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s able to create â&#x20AC;&#x153;a verbal

body who has enormous deficiencies in their favorite sport, and having fun with that,â&#x20AC;? explained Cammann, who has stories from his wife and 16-year-old daughter as well as a slew of funny fishing tales of his own. For example, once he was fishing out of a canoe off the Massachusetts coast, using live, herring-like fish called menhaden as bait. The smelly, flashy fish attracted the attention of a seagull, which Cammann somehow ended up hooking. The seagull started flying away â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with Cammann still holding on â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and hilarity ensued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you fish enough, there are enough psychotic stories,â&#x20AC;? he said.

After Cammannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book idea was rejected, he decided to turn it into The Streamside Guide, loosely based on a five-minute radio segment he developed and broadcast in the Burlington area â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on WNCS from 1988 to 1990, and WDEV from 1991 to 1996.

Even back then, Cammann said, he realized he needed to cast a wider net. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I spend time talking about what to do and how to do it, I isolate about three-quarters of the population,â&#x20AC;? he noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if I bring into it the fact that this is something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done all my life and I screw up like crazy, I draw in a lot more people.â&#x20AC;?

Cammann aims to grow his virtual fishing community to about 1000 before establishing a permanent website with, he hopes, more interactivity and

contour mapâ&#x20AC;? of certain locations without divulging specific holes.

Two areas he will openly share: Luquillo, Puerto Rico, and Ripton, Vermont. The former is his favorite place to fish, Cammann acknowledged, for its seemingly endless salt flats and trenches filled with barracuda, grouper, tarpon and yellowtail.

The latter is the site of a gnarly, mile-and-a-half slog upstream in the Ripton Gorge, which left Cammann so black and blue, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sworn never to return. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anybody who goes through the process will find the most amazing trout theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen,â&#x20AC;? he vowed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll risk their lives doing it.â&#x20AC;?

On other, more placid rivers around Vermont, Cammann now gets in about 60 to 70 to days per season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which for him stretches from late February to November.

One secret behind Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fishing, he revealed, is uncovering the stuff most anglers are overlooking. In the time we spent at Burlington Bay, Cammann guessed that 1000 people had driven past our original meeting spot. Another secret, he confessed, is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about catching fish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could be perfectly happy missing strikes all day,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I fool one enough to come up, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m halfway there.â&#x20AC;? ďż˝ Got a comment on this story or ideas for another one?

Wiggle Room Greensboro Bend’s Wacky Worm Sisters wax on the ins and outs of fertilizer

P

acked in quart-sized Baggies, the stuff looks rich, crumbly and decidedly illegal. But the label states otherwise: It’s nutrient-rich humus, a.k.a.

Premium Quality Worm Castings — STORY the end product, literally, of thouPATRICK sands of red worms, also known as TIMOTHY red wigglers, tiger worms, manure MULLIKIN worms, stink worms, fish worms, dung worms, fecal worms and striped IMAGES worms.

JEB “Old farmers call them manure WALLACEworms and old fishermen call them BRODEUR trout worms,” says Carol Schminke, who operates the Down to Earth Worm Farm of Vermont in Greensboro Bend with her sister Lynette Courtney. The two women, who refer to themselves as the Wacky Worm Sisters, have a habit of interrupting each other and finishing one another’s sentences. But they agree on one thing: the wonders of worm waste. Eisenia fetida — as the wigglers are called in Latin — has a hearty appetite and will eat just about any-

in the basement of a barn that also houses Courtney’s husband’s furniture, jewelry and electric guitar studio. Here, among grow lights and racks of seedlings and cuttings, is a wall of wooden worm bins on drawer slides. For the benefit of a visiting reporter, Courtney opens the lid of one wooden box and removes a flattened, recycled plastic bag that keeps in the moisture. Out comes the aroma of a forest floor — sweet, damp, living earth. The sudden light drives the hundreds of worms that had been grazing near the surface down into their bed of damp maple leaves.

“Springtails,” she says, pointing to the tens of thousands of tiny white insects that are busy breaking down organic matter. A lone roly-poly bug heads underground.

“Springtails are the mark of excellence in composting,” says Courtney.

This is obviously a healthy bin, and she’s proud of its progress.

LYNETTE COURTNEY AND CAROL SCHMINKE

In a year you can double or triple your worm poundage; you multiply that by 2000 and you get a nice, wowing number of worms.

CAROL SCHMINKE, DOWN TO EARTH WORM FARM OF VERMONT

thing. What comes out the other end is primo organic fertilizer. The sisters sell it by the bag — $8 for a quartsized bag — to serious gardeners.

In fact, the proper name for what Courtney, 58, and Schminke, 55, do is “vermi composting.” Their 5-yearold operation, a division of New Leaf Designs Professional Gardening Services & Eclectic Nursery, is located

With both hands, she digs down into the mixture to where the bulk of the worms are busy turning kitchen scraps — eggshells, carrot and potato peelings, onion skins, coffee grinds and their paper filters — into nutrientrich “castings,” a fancy word for worm poop. The dark-brown castings, which have the super-fine consistency of ground espresso coffee beans, settle to the bottom of the bin.

She holds in her hands a clump of perhaps a thousand squiggling, wiggling worms that have attached themselves to a piece of watermelon rind. Melon is a good lure when it comes time to remove the worms from the bins in order to harvest their castings. (The sisters also sell worms as bait. “You get about 20 worms for five bucks,” Schminke says.)

She figures that a pound of worms is roughly 2000 individual wigglers; with about 60 to 75 pounds of worms on hand, that means Down to Earth Farm hosts roughly 150,000 or so individual worms.

One pound of worms, she continues, will eat a half-pound of food a day. “Some raw foods they can’t eat right away. So we cook for them to soften it up,” reveals Schminke.

Unlike worms raised in huge commercial farms, which are fed mostly manure, “We have happier worms,” she declares. “Their castings are more nutritious than [on] commercial worm farms.”

In order to harvest the nutrientrich castings at the bottom of the bin, the worms must first be removed.

Picking them out one at a time would take hours; that’s where the melon comes in. When it’s buried just under the top layer of maple leaves, the worms will migrate en masse to the melon. The writhing blob can then be lifted out of the bin and placed inside a temporary container while the castings get scooped out and moved to the sifting table.

Everything is done by hand at this “boutique” worm farm, and the sisters’ hands are coated with an earthy film.

“We’ve been known to eat sandwiches with our hands like this,” says Courtney, laughing, as she begins sift-

ing the castings through a wire-mesh frame.

Harvesting worm castings requires a lot of sifting. Runaway worms and errant egg cases are handpicked from the soon-to-be packaged castings.

“Oh, look, there’s a bone,” exclaims Courtney, who’s come across a chickadee wishbone. That and a chipmunk skull — cat-kill, she explains — have been picked clean by the worms. The bones go into a box marked “Remains of mortality composting.” It’s part of the workshop they present in area schools. “Girls are way into the worms, almost more than the boys,” she says. “The boys like the remains.”

The siblings continue sifting and rescuing stowaways and egg cases as they answer the big question: Why worms?

Worms are easy to raise and are self-perpetuating,” says Schminke. “In a year you can double or triple your worm poundage; you multiply that by 2000 and you get a nice, wowing number of worms.”

But as gardeners themselves, the sisters say it’s the castings that sold them.

“This is a disease-suppressing, antifungal material with all the trace elements,” Schminke continues.

“This is the highest concentrated nutrition, the highest echelon.”

From a horticultural standpoint, in other words, this is some really good shit. m

ERICH KRUGER AT RENEW

<HOME & GARDEN>

Raze the Roof — Then Sell it

Reused building materials attract eco-conscious customers

P

utney Road in Brattleboro is a busy, traffic-choked, multi-lane highway that runs parallel to the tranquil Connecticut River. It’s the kind of strip where you’d expect to find a STORY Home Depot — and for the next KIRK seven weeks you wouldn’t be disapKARDASHIAN pointed. After that, the hardware behemoth is shutting down. It’s one IMAGES of 15 Home Depots around the JUSTIN country that, for one reason or anothCASH er, didn’t make the financial grade.

Meanwhile, a half-mile down the road, ReNew Building Materials and Salvage, Inc. is expanding — doubling in size, actually — to include about 20,000 square feet of recycled building supplies and a smattering of new job-lot goods. ReNew’s success didn’t cause Home Depot’s downfall, but it certainly didn’t help.

ReNew is one of two nonprofit corporations in Vermont that specializes in deconstruction — that is, the careful disassembly of buildings to salvage their reusable materials. It also operates a reused-building-supply store. The other one, Recycle North, is on Pine Street in Burlington. For the most part, both businesses follow the same modus operandi: A deconstruction crew comes to a structure that the owner wants to be rid of, takes it down piece by piece, saves the reusable stuff, and disposes of the rest.

The property owner makes a taxdeductible donation of the materials to the nonprofit, which in turn sells the salvage to the public at its retail store. Generally speaking, the goals

are waste reduction, resource renewal and poverty relief.

Erich Kruger, 39, is the executive director of ReNew, which he started about three years ago after a career in carpentry. He’s tall and lanky, with long, wavy, light-brown hair that he pulls back into a ponytail. Kruger does a lot of planning and paper push-

in the process of being constructed rather than taken down: The framing needs some sheetrock; the windows appear roughed-in and ready for finishing; rolls of insulation are bagged neatly on the concrete floor. But the high-pitched scream of a Sawzall — “the tool,” Kruger says, “that people most commonly associate with demo-

cement and masonry is turned into landscaping and road fill; metal is sold for scrap; and clean wood too small to be resold is either burned in the customer’s wood stove or, in the case of Recycle North, taken to the McNeil Generating Plant.

This is not how demolition usually works. More often than not, when

Inside ReNew’s building-supply store are shelves of kitchen and bathroom sinks, used toilets, armoires, lighting fixtures, rolls of carpet, stacks of new paint cans, moldings, mirrors, duct-work, stove pipes and hot-water heaters. ing nowadays, but on a recent weekday, he’s at a job site off a dirt road in Putney. The mission: to deconstruct a mother-in-law apartment and woodshop that’s attached to a home. The weather is cold and rainy, so Kruger’s four-man crew (the fifth one is out sick) is looting the building of its windows and doing whatever they can to stay out of the elements. If not for the rain, the roof and the rafters would already be off.

The two-story place is dark and drafty inside and looks almost like it’s

lition” — wielded by a crewmember who’s wrestling with a stubborn sash, is a reminder that in a few days this apartment will be nothing more than a pile of sticks.

The sheetrock and plaster will have gone to the dump, while the windows, doors, dimensional lumber, nails, screws, bathtub, plumbing — often, up to 85 percent of the structure — will have been inventoried and carted to the reuse store. What can have a new life, will: Asphalt roofing is reused for hot-mix paving;

a person wants to remove a building from his property, he calls a demolition specialist, who gets the job done with an excavator and a dumpster. In industry parlance, this is called “crunch and dump.” What does it look like to see a building demolished this way? “It’s very painful,” Kruger says. “It’s a large piece of equipment that goes like this,” he offers, making a biting motion with his hand. “They chomp it and they break it into the smallest pieces possible, and then they load that into a

SEVEN DAYS | may 07-14, 2008 | feature 31A

truck and leave.” Visibly disgusted by the thought, Kruger says run-of-the-mill demolition pains him, “because there’s a potential for so much more opportunity.”

Construction and demolition waste (C&D) represents a large portion — 20 percent, or 90,000 tons — of the solid waste interred in Vermont’s landfills. In Chittenden County, it’s 30 percent. At $135 per ton, the cost of landfill disposal in Vermont is the only financial disincentive to simply dumping C&D waste.

Deconstruction, while easier on the conscience, is usually harder on the wallet. Kruger estimates that deconstruction’s extra labor costs about 25 percent more than demolition and disposal.

Tom Grocki, the director of the Building Materials Center at Recycle North, says that in some cases, if the tax deduction is high enough, deconstruction can end up costing about the same as demolition.

In any event, the more delicate method is touted as a boon to the local economy, because it adds five or six jobs to the workforce for every one job that an excavator can do.

Depending on your sensibilities, the process is either terribly inefficient and cost-ineffective, or it’s a shining example of locally fueled sustainability.

For now, the deconstruction industry relies on people like Phil Banister, 58, the owner of the house in Putney. Though he admits that being an architect has exposed him to a lot of green-building ideas, he says it just “makes sense to recycle the stuff that’s here.” Furthermore, Kruger explains that Banister’s nicely landscaped lot, with a large conifer looming near the deconstruction site, would be tricky to negotiate with an excavator and dumpster.

Similar problems arise in smaller lots in cities or next to lakes.

The deconstruction of this particular building is fitting, because most of it was made from salvaged materials in the first place. “I had no money years ago,” Banister explains, “so I used a lot of recycled stuff — not because it was green but because it was an affordable option.”

The homeowners, contractors and landlords who shop at Recycle North and ReNew feel the same way. Inside ReNew’s building-supply store are shelves of kitchen and bathroom sinks, used toilets, armoires, lighting fixtures, rolls of carpet, stacks of new paint cans, moldings, mirrors, ductwork, stove pipes and hotwater heaters. You can’t exactly build an entire house with the materials here, but you can come close.

Plywood, says ReNew employee Sandy Moore, 50, is only $8 for a 4-by-8-foot sheet;

Ed Payne, 64, is building much of his house in Bridport out of materials from Recycle North. The house, which he describes as “very non-conventional,” uses as its foundation two 8-by-40-foot steel shipping containers. He was going to make the entire structure out of the metal boxes, but his wife Rosemary demurred. Instead, they topped the containers with modular house components built by students at Middlebury Union High School.

Recycle North’s deconstruction service is booked until the middle of July, so the bounty that Payne has enjoyed will continue to flow. In addition, the outfit is starting Waste Not woodshop, where an AmeriCorps-VISTA worker will use salvaged material to make new products, such as picture frames, benches and tables.

“There’s a time in the future,” Grocki predicts, “when it’s going to become cost-effective to deconstruct everything.” �

The Green Clean

5/6/08 8:52:44 AM

oam the aisles of your local natural foods store, or even your supermarket, and you’ll find bottle after bottle of household products that claim to be “green.” Kitchen cleaners and dishwashing liquids — packSTORY aged in tasteful, earthy tones from moss to ALISON hunter — beckon from the shelves with NOVAK siren words: Eco-friendly. Natural. Pure.

But just because a product claims to be IMAGES safe for the environment doesn’t always MATTHEW mean it is.

THORSEN Enter Amy Todisco. Founder of the online store Green Living Now, the Huntington resident, 44, helps people navigate the extensive and often confusing world of “natural” products. Green Living Now sells about 100 household and personal care items that have met Todisco’s non-toxic criteria. She also publishes an e-newsletter that covers recent news and scientific studies on everything from the effectiveness of different dish soaps to the cough-suppressing powers of dark chocolate.

A former massage and polarity therapist in Massachusetts, Todisco entered the earth-friendly-living arena more than 15 years ago, while she was pregnant. When she learned in a library book that everyday household products were teeming with toxic chemicals, she went on a quest to find out what products were safe. She was surprised to discover that many items in the natural foods store weren’t any better than those in a mainstream grocery store.

Todisco began to write letters to the editor of her local paper. She became an activist to raise awareness about the issue.

She also started consulting — making house calls to dispense advice about what products were or were not harmful. “Once I learn something,” she says, “I want to share it with other people.”

When Todisco moved to Vermont seven years ago, Seventh Generation CEO Jeffrey Hollander hired her to start and run the Household Toxins Institute, a nonprofit that tested products to deter-

mine their safety. She left a year later, believing she couldn’t be impartial working for an organization that was funded by a company — even a green one. Instead, Todisco launched another nonprofit, aiming to hire independent toxicologists to test household products. But she found it difficult to raise enough money. That’s when she decided to try the online retail approach. Four years ago, she started her home-based business Green Living Now to offer vetted non-toxic products, and to educate customers on getting right with the world they live in.

can hide things, Todisco cautions, by giving the broad category of the ingredient or vague references such as “derived from coconut.”

Todisco then gets on the Internet and looks up the product’s Material Safety Data Sheet, which provides more information about the ingredients than does the label. She also uses A Consumer’s Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients by Ruth Winter, as well as the website of the nonprofit research organization Environmental Working Group to learn more about various products.

Todisco’s e-newsletter covers everything from the effectiveness of different dish soaps to the cough-suppressing powers of dark chocolate.

Paul Burns, executive director of Vermont Public Interest Research Group, has known Todisco since her activist days in Massachusetts. “I’ve always been impressed with her commitment to environmental health issues and ensuring that no one is exposed to toxic chemicals in the products they use every day,” he says.

“I think she’s on the right path in promoting these green products.”

How does Todisco determine a product’s “greenness”? Her method is multilayered. First, she says, she looks at the container to see what the disclosed ingredients are. This isn’t always illuminating, since manufacturers are only required to list the active ingredients in cleaning products, not inert ones that may be toxic.

Even products that do list all ingredients

Finally, Todisco takes a look at the manufacturer. She’s uncomfortable with supporting a business that makes both toxic and green products. For example, she notes with a laugh, the Clorox Company recently introduced a line of “natural” cleaning products. “I’d much rather spend money on companies that are, across the board, doing the right thing,” Todisco says.

Her web store caters to individuals who are new to green living, offering basics such as a “kitchen starter kit” with an array of products to make countertops, floors and dishes sparkle. Todisco buys all her products wholesale from various manufacturers. These include natural soaps,

“small metal objects draws attention to the people we habitually crop out of the picture.”

—Sydney Sun Herald (Australia)

5 TIPS FOR A GREENER HOME FROM AMY TODISCO Send your oven, drain, and toilet bowl cleaning products packing. They contain lye, which can burn your skin; butyl cellosolve, which is quite toxic; as well as petroleum products and bleach.

Instead, use a spray bottle of water and liberally spray the inside of a warm oven, then coat with baking soda.

Leave overnight and wipe away in the morning. Drains can be plunged, or use a plumber’s snake. To prevent clogs, put one cup of baking soda, followed by one cup of vinegar and then boiling water, down the drain periodically.

Also, natural enzyme drain cleaners (such as Earth Friendly and Naturally Yours) are quite effective.

Be gone, antibacterial soaps. Experts now report that using antibacterial products has created supergerms, which are harder to kill with antibiotics.

Washing thoroughly, especially under the fingernails, with pure organic castile soap (such as Vermont Soap or Dr. Bronner’s) and water does the job.

Ditch “air fresheners,” such as airfreshening sprays, candles, carpet powders and plug-ins. Most of these are loaded with toxic synthetic chemicals. Rather than eliminate the odors, they often just coat our nasal passages with an oily substance so we can’t smell the offending odors. Instead, grow organic herbs and flowers, dry

them and put them in bowls around your home as potpourri. Or put a few drops of pure essential oil, such as lavender oil, into a diffuser. Breather bags of zeolite, a volcanic mineral, are great for taking odors out of basements, closets, and even the car.

Raid your pantry. Baking soda, sprinkled on a damp sponge or cloth, can be used as a gentle, nonabrasive cleanser for countertops, sinks, bathtubs, ovens and fiberglass. Add a cup to your laundry load to eliminate perspiration odors and neutralize the smell of many chemicals. It’s also a useful air freshener and a carpet deodorizer. White vinegar and lemon juice are acidic, so they dissolve gummy buildup, eat away tarnish, and remove dirt from wood surfaces. Vinegar is great for floors, especially wood. Just mix one cup of vinegar to five gallons of water.

Cut out conventional dishwasher detergents, especially ones that contain bleach. The chemicals in these detergents come out of the dishwasher in the water vapor during the dry cycle, which is especially bad for children and anyone with asthma or allergies. Also, a chemical residue is left on your dishes, which means you may also ingest some of it. Todisco recommends natural herb dishwasher tablets.

sponges and stain removers, hair and body products, and eclectic items such as organic dog treats and shiitake mushroom-growing kits. Her customers come from all over the country, Todisco says; locals can also find her products at Beaudry’s General Store in Huntington.

Testing products independently is the best way to do an impartial job, Todisco finds.

“What sets me apart from other people who may consider themselves experts in green living is not being affiliated with a company,” she suggests.

That lack of bias is especially important when dealing with an industry that’s largely unchecked. The Consumer Product Safety Commission — the government agency that regulates household cleaning products — does not test or certify products for safety before they can be sold to consumers, Todisco notes. And there are no regulations regarding use of the terms “green” or “eco-friendly,” nor even common definitions of what these terms mean, she says, adding that only “USDA Certified Organic” is a defined term. As evidence that so-called green products are not always what they seem, Todisco cites a recent study by the Organic Consumers Association that found carcinogenic contaminant 1,4-Dioxane in a number of popular personal care and household products claiming to

be “natural” and “organic.” “We as consumers have so little understanding of what’s going on,” she says.

In addition to her web store and e-newsletters, Todisco does occasional telephone consultations with people who want advice on how to green up their homes. She also recently decided to add life coaching to her repertoire in order to further direct people to healthier, happier lives. And she’s finishing up a book, Green Living on a Budget, which, as the title suggests, is about how to be ecofriendly without spending too much green.

But cost is a relative concept.

In a comparison of, say, Windex and a natural alternative, the Windex will probably be cheaper, Todisco acknowledges, because synthetic chemicals are cheaper.

But consumers can save money, she points out, if we don’t fall for marketing that tells us we need dozens of different products for every surface of our home.

“Actually, one product can go a long way,” Todisco insists.

More importantly, she says, when people consider how “all this chemical stuff ” will impact their families’ health, and how much that could cost down the line, using non-toxic products may ultimately be the most cost-effective in prevention terms. “It involves,” Todisco concludes, “a different way of thinking.” �

What $250K Can Get You in Vermont A sampling of “affordable” housing around the state

ermont is one of the toughest places in the country to buy a house. Demand far exceeds supply here — so much so that the median price of an existing home has doubled in the last decade, to more than $200,000. If you’re in the STORY market for something brand new, BRIAN WALLSTIN expect to pay in the neighborhood of $320,000, on average, according to the Vermont Housing Awareness Campaign.

V

Before it adjourned last week, the Vermont Legislature took a small step toward increasing the supply of newly built homes that average wage-earners can actually afford. Under a new bill, the state will waive some permitting requirements for urban projects in which 20 percent of the homes are priced at $250,000 or less.

It remains to be seen what a quartermil will get you — and where — when

the new rules kick in. Right now, though, Vermont’s MLS listings in the $250,000 range feature a variety styles and sizes, from a tiny camp in Colchester to a custom-built home on one-and-a-half acres in Eden.

Last week, we looked at dozens of current listings from across the state.

Here’s a sampling of seven we found . . . interesting. m

ARTWORK

“Untitled #6”

by Christopher Thompson

he medium of encaustic is both old and new. Some of the earliest paintings of Western civilization are encaustic funereal portraits from Hellenistic Egypt. But the technique — involving beeswax, resin and pigment — was so demanding and cumbersome that it eventually became a “lost art.” In the 20th century, however, thanks to improved technologies and commercially available mixtures, encaustic underwent a revival. Now, its popularity seems to grow each year.

Encaustic’s timeless allure is evident in a shared exhibit of paintings by Alexandria Bottinelli, Jill Herrick-Lee and Christopher Thompson at Studio Place Arts in Barre.

The oldest painting presented by East Calais artist Bottinelli is her 1996 “Mexico Series: Warrior.”

The 12-by-12-inch encaustic collage on panel has a wrinkled, bronze-colored surface that she divided into a loose grid of nine squares with raised lines. Patches of light blue and red, along with mysterious embedded objects, encrust the painting’s uneven surface.

Bottinelli affixed a large chunk of honeycomb to the center of “Honey,” an 11-by-11-inch, mottled turquoise piece from 2008. It’s like an homage to the insects that produced the wax she so skillfully manipulates. Circles of various sizes are embedded within the upper layers of this relic-looking piece, echoing the cells of the honeycomb.

Encaustic is applied in translucent layers, with each application melded to the previous one with heat. In her 13-by-13-inch “Deer,” also from 2008, Bottinelli smoothed wax over cutout images of a reindeer and a polar bear. Its negative space is a creamy beige color,

and random circles appear again as ambiguous design elements.

Herrick-Lee’s vertical 24-by-48-inch “Use This Book” also spreads wax over paper. The artist from South Hamilton, Massachusetts, shredded pages from

red layers applied over yellow combine into a rich red-orange field. Hazy, dark oil paint again picks up textures on the lush surface. The hot-colored “Untitled #6” seems like a satellite image of the atmosphere of Jupiter’s red-orange volcanic moon Io.

The popularity of encaustic seems to grow each year. a book and jumbled the indecipherable scraps in layers just below her blue-and-earth-tone blotchy surface.

The piece is Herrick-Lee’s moodiest offering in the show — most of her pieces are bright and playful.

The 8-by-16-inch “Space Landing” is made from two square panels conjoined vertically and topped by three game pieces — in yellow, red, yellow — like pieces from a Parcheesi set. Colorful circles incised around their edges dance over Herrick-Lee’s encaustic panels.

Thompson, a Burlington-based artist, incises lines into encaustics as well. These form complex funnel-like shapes, like curved grids mapping out black holes or other strange astrophysical phenomena. “Untitled #9” is a 34-by-44-inch Naples yellow-and-black field, with Thompson’s fine lines swirling across the picture plane.

These scrape through upper encaustic layers to expose pure yellow below. Thompson also uses oil paint, and the surface black color may be oil buffed into the wax.

Similar etched lines scarify “Untitled #6.” Buffed

Thompson’s calmer “Untitled #12” is a horizontal 35-by-23-inch piece; blue-gray corners edged a milky central area marked by a welter of fine, concave black lines. Bits of faux gold leif are scattered around the encaustic surface. The work is peaceful by virtue of its heavenly hues, yet the lines shooting from top to bottom also render it dynamic.

Ralph Mayer’s The Artist’s Handbook of Materials and Techniques says of encaustic: “It can be polished to a high gloss, it can be modeled, sculpted, textured, and combined with collage materials. It cools immediately, so that there is no drying time, yet it can always be reworked.” Encaustic also “has no toxic fumes, nor does it require the use of solvents. As a result, a number of health hazards are reduced or eliminated” from the process.

Given the remarkable attributes and malleable beauty of encaustic, it seems unlikely that the ancient art will ever disappear again. m

SEVEN DAYS | may 07-14, 2008 | funstuff 47A

the campus question

by JON TAYLOR

I

t’s already the last Campus Question of the spring semester! Don’t fret, loyal readers — the CQ will be back, just as soon as the students return to the Green Mountain State in the fall.

This final edition of The CQ seemed to call for something a little . . . non-traditional. So, I headed off to beauty school to get a feel for how a salon operates with students-intraining. In between a rather painful waxing session (for more on that, check out the video on the Seven Days website), I spoke to students about strange clientele, cosmetology stereotypes, dancing gorillas and how drugs can turn your hair pink . . .

What has your experience as a cosmetology student been like?

Myia Machia, 18 “There was this one guy who came in and smelled really bad. He had a Tweety Bird shirt on and had this yellow ring around his neck, and when I was cutting his hair, there were chunks of skin falling off his scalp. I had to go eat after . . . I smelled like him and I had flaky cheese in my salad. [It was] very gross.”

Lauren Desautels, 23 “Your hair holds everything. So, what happens when you bleach somebody’s hair, you have to put a toner on it to make it a different color, and you can tell if they’ve done drugs. Especially with cocaine, [hair] turns this fluorescent pink color. That happened here one time and I got to see it. [Hair] just shows everything — drugs, things that you’ve done, [and] damage. You can see everything in hair.”

Erin O’Rourke, 33 “It’s a lot of fun — a lot of girls, a lot of laughter and a lot of hard work. But at the end of the day, there’s also time to play. Yesterday, we had a birthday and a gorilla came in. We did a little dancing and had a little laughter. [The gorilla] danced, brought balloons [and], by accident, punched a girl in the face. It was funny. . . it was a good time.”

sudoku

By Linda Thistle

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

Olivia Kazak, 29 “What I’ve found in the short time I’ve been here — which is a couple of months — is that the stereotypical idea that cosmetologists are gossipy and limited in their skills [isn’t correct.] The knowledge that’s involved in this field is much in-depth. We cover things like electricity and anatomy and a lot of technical stuff that I think is overlooked when you think about a cosmetologist. It definitely takes a lot of hard work and dedication if you really want to be good at it. But it’s also very fun.”

H = Moderate HH = Challenging HHH = Hoo, boy!

may 8-14

ARIES (March 21-April 19): For many Aries,

independence is a virtue that flows in abundance — so much so that it’s sometimes on the verge of becoming excessive and turning into a vice.

That’s why I’m thrilled to inform you that the mysteries of dependence could be especially intriguing and useful to you in the coming days.

They might also lead, paradoxically, to a form of interdependence that would in the long run nourish your independence. So how about it? Without compromising your free-wheeling spirit, can you blend yourself more thoroughly with trustworthy souls who care about you?

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): Alison Covarrubias is a mentor for female entrepreneurs.

Her “Ladies Who Launch” program inspires women to be brave and brazen as they develop their own businesses. One of Covarrubias’ prime pieces of advice: “If you don’t feel like you’re going to throw up, you’re not taking enough risks.” That’s also my message for you, Taurus. In the name of smart gambles and tricky success, I dare you to push yourself way out of the comfort zone.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): According to

a survey, one out of every ten people says the Internet makes them feel closer to God. I predict that you will be part of that group in the coming days, Gemini. But it’s not just surfing the Web that will bring you into more intimate communion with the Divine Wow. Washing dishes will do it, too, as will buttering toast, brushing your teeth, and skipping down the street. For that matter, throwing imaginary rocks at the sky, blowing your nose on your sleeve, and pretending you’re a rock star will put you into a more fluid alignment with the Primal Root. Pretty much everything! What if you’re an atheist? You’re free to ignore the evidence of Spirit’s presence pressing in on you from all sides. But even if you do that, I bet you’ll still enjoy a profoundly enhanced sense that life is wildly meaningful.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): According to

you find the equivalent assistance for your own field of expression, Virgo. The time is ripe for you to dissect less and build more.

physicist Paul Steinhardt, “Good science creates two challenging puzzles for each puzzle it resolves.”

I propose that we expand that formula to make it apply to life in general: Good decision-making about anything at all creates two challenging puzzles for each puzzle it resolves. That should be your guiding meditation, Cancerian. You are currently at the height of your ability to wrestle long-standing dilemmas into more satisfying configurations. I expect that whenever you capitalize on this potential, you will conjure up fresh riddles that will energize you for weeks.

LIbRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn’t have any doubt,” wrote columnist Hal Boyle. “It is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn’t want to go anywhere else.” Your assignment for the rest of 2008, Libra, is to do whatever’s necessary to make yourself fit this description. The next eight months will provide unprecedented opportunities to turn yourself into a river flowing toward your destiny with surprisingly sublime freedom.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Are you fully prepared

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’re not any

for your showdown with The Machine? Are you as confident as you need to be in order to fight for the rights of soulful beauty? Of course not. None of us is ever perfectly prepared as we go up against the Big Lies of the mechanical thinkers. But I do have great faith in your ability to prevail — especially if you strengthen yourself with this meditation from the book Less Than One, by Joseph Brodsky: “The surest defense against evil is extreme individualism, originality of thinking, whimsicality — even, if you will, eccentricity . . . Evil is a sucker for solidarity.

It always goes for big numbers, for confident granite, for ideological purity, for drilled armies and balance sheets.”

more narcissistic and egotistical than the rest of us, but this week happens to be your special time to make amends for being that way. Therefore, I recommend that you try the following corrective measures: 1. Every day, do three things motivated by compassion that are helpful to people you know.

2. For a few minutes each day, use your imagination to get inside the mind of someone you care about and see the world through his or her eyes. 3. Every day, take at least one action that will in some way beautify your environment, contribute to the wellbeing of strangers, or help save the world.

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

SAGITTARIUS

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Don’t eat any

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Traditional astrologers say that Sagittarians are the master travelers of the zodiac; no other sign roams as far and as wide as yours. But if that’s true, how do you explain William Blake and Emily Dickenson, two of history’s greatest Sagittarian poets? They barely left their neighborhoods, content to explore a narrow sampling of the planet’s wonders. The answer is that they covered vast distances in the inner realms, seeking out adventures in exotic territories of the imagination. I’m thinking their approach would work really well for you in the coming weeks.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): My songwriter

friend Darius has created some fine music, but he periodically goes through phases when everything he produces sounds contrived. It’s not writer’s block he suffers from. During his bouts with bad composing, he’s often teeming with ideas. The problem is that he gets caught up in a vortex of too much thinking. He can’t stop his mind from tinkering endlessly with every raw impulse that wells up. Recently he joined the Immersion Composition Society, an organization that helps “talented basket cases” and “tortured geniuses” cut through their tendency to over-analyze and thereby reconnect to their pure inspiration. One technique: Musicians agree to take on firm deadlines that compel them to create songs wicked fast. I hope

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s an excellent time to make yourself more magnetic to blessings. You might want to experiment, therefore, with good luck charms or magic invocations — anything that you imagine might attract benevolence into your life. How about the potion that is popular in South Africa right now? It’s a concoction cooked up from ground-up vulture bones. Or maybe the kind of mystic jewelry I saw advertised in one of the tabloids, a necklace made of meteorite chunks? Both of those would pale in comparison, however, to the thing I consider the very best attractor of blessings. It’s the sacred metaphorical talisman that Tom Waits recommends in his song “Get Behind the Mule”: Always keep a diamond in your mind.

spell is broken, Aquarius, you will be able to tap into resources that you’ve been cut off from. When the spell is broken, you will finally notice three big, beautiful secrets that have been staring you in the face. When the spell is broken, you will slip down off a clean, lofty perch where it has been hard to relax and arrive at a low, funky spot where you’ll be free to feel things you haven’t felt in a long time.

When the spell is broken, it will be because you have decided to break it.

food that’s incapable of rotting,” says Michael Pollan in his book In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto. In other words, highly processed foods with a long shelf life don’t contribute to your optimum vitality. I’d like to expand this rule to make it an all-purpose guideline for life. Try out this hypothesis: If you’re involved with any person or situation that never decays, or if there is some part of you that never decays, that’s highly suspicious and may be a problem. Like growth, rot is a natural phenomenon. Indeed, every advancement requires or brings the disintegration of whatever it replaces. You can’t grow if you don’t rot! The “perfection” of stasis can be hazardous to your health! So let me ask you, Pisces: What’s due to rot in your world?

very cusp of the romantic arc are Michael Angarano’s Arthur and Olivia Thirlby’s Lila. He’s a trombonist in the school band. She’s a recent transfer who likes to take photos with an old-fashioned box camera and likes Arthur even more. Both are natural, immensely likable presences, and Lila’s good-hearted efforts to help the insecure teen see what a great catch he is are enormously touching. Theirs is one of the wittiest, smartest, sweetest stories of teen love to make it onto celluloid in years.

Arthur’s mother and father are played by Jeannetta Arnette and Griffin Dunne. Their marriage has hit a rough patch but, we sense, is not an entirely lost cause.

Dunne’s character is a science teacher in the grip of a regulation mid-life crisis. Arnette’s is the more fleshed out: a virtual zombie who, in a powerful scene, counsels her son against blocking out life’s pain. “You need to feel this all the way through,” she warns. “Don’t be like me.”

Unlike either of these pairs — or anyone else in town, for that matter — are Annie and Glenn March-

and. Kate Beckinsale and Sam Rockwell provide the picture’s center of gravity as a husband and wife who reached the breaking point and never slowed down.

Annie is the town beauty. She waits tables at the same Chinese restaurant where Arthur busses. Life has shortchanged her — and her 4-year-old daughter — and she sees her separation as the chance for a new beginning.

Rockwell, of course, is the Olivier of head cases. His Glenn is a time bomb of a screw-up who believes he has a shot at winning Annie back because he’s stopped drinking, found work at a carpet shop, and let Jesus into his life. His initial attempts at reconciliation are doomed to failure, but he’s too whacked out to notice. When he learns that his wife is sleeping with a married sleazeball (Nicky Katt), he snaps, and the ensuing tragedies culminate with the two gunshots we heard at the start of the story.

I’ll be honest: I didn’t seek out Snow Angels because I’m a fan of David Gordon Green’s work. This is his fourth film and the first I’ve seen. The truth is, the only other releases hitting town the same weekend were Made of Honor and Iron Man, and if there’s anything I’m drawn to less than dopey romantic comedies, it’s comic-book adaptations. But, while I may not have chosen it on the basis of its merits, I was pleasantly surprised to discover Green’s new film possesses so many.

The director draws artful, affecting performances from his cast, the writing and camerawork are first rate, and Green has rearranged the novel’s narrative furniture in such a way as to heighten both the poignancy and suspense of the source material. Now that summer blockbusters have begun trickling into the cineplex, there may be limited interest in such chilly scenes of winter. If you ask me, though, movie-making as gripping and gimmick-free as this is never out of season.

Rick Kisonak

Besides crafting an improved suit that won’t crash and burn, the liberated Stark has to grapple with what he saw in Afghanistan — bad guys stockpiling his weapons. When he tells the press he wants out of a “system that’s comfortable with zero accountability,” his company’s stocks plummet, and Stark’s affable mentor and father-figure, Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges), gets a bit perturbed. He also gets way too interested in Stark’s pet project.

Despite the crisis-of-conscience theme, all of this could have been pretty standard fare. But Favreau had the sense to cast Downey, who does for this potential franchise what Johnny Depp did for Pirates of the Caribbean. Both of them are actor’s actors who love to exploit the inherent silliness of their material, yet know when to give it dramatic weight. Downey’s standard mode is warm, disarming, a bit fey on occasion — if you left him alone with a wooden post, he’d probably flirt with it. (When no one’s around, Stark banters with the robots in his basement.) Played by a more solemn actor, the golden-boy character could have been insufferable. But Downey makes us believe Stark charms everyone around him, including his straight-arrow Army liaison (Terrence Howard) and his long-suffering Gal Friday, Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow).

Paltrow rises to the challenge of playing a superhero’s eye candy/potential love interest by not acting like an ingenue. Pepper has worked for Stark long enough to be unfazed by his antics — she’s like a sexier Moneypenny — and the two actors ease into a subtle

screwball chemistry. In one scene, they find themselves getting a bit too close and then talk about it, as adults in a professional relationship might do, rather than simply fleeing in mortification, like middle schoolers and bashful movie superheroes the world over. The strong script — reportedly supplemented by improvisation from Downey — keeps the wit coming and the movie buoyant, even when it heads into a very predictable climax laden with heavy-duty CGI. Stark’s superhero garb is lacking in personality, to say the least — the slit-eyed suit looks like a cross between the Futurist robot in Metropolis and Bobo Fett.

But its simplicity works. And, more important, the movie never lets us forget there’s a screwy, disreputable, ultimately decent guy inside.

MARGOT HARRISON

Snow Angels HHHH

Y

SNOW STURM Rockwell and Beckinsale take marital dysfunction to extremes in the gripping new drama from David Gordon Green.

ou know you’re in the hands of a director who won’t be making familiar, obvious choices from the opening moments of this remarkable movie. A high school band is attempting halfheartedly to rehearse a Peter Gabriel song while marching in choreographed formation and failing comically at both. The band’s director, Mr. Chervenick, is played by Tom Noonan, an actor best remembered for his harrowing portrayal of the serial killer in 1988’s Manhunter (the picture that introduced the character of Hannibal Lecter to the world).

Twenty years later his mood has, if anything, grown more sour. Apoplectic, Noonan’s character unleashes upon his students one of the strangest inspirational rants in screen history. “People,” he bellows, “do you have a sledgehammer in your heart?” Then, just when you think you’ve settled in for some kind of quirky teen comedy, two shotgun blasts ring out from the woods not far away.

Which might lead you to the conclusion that writer-director David Gordon Green’s latest is not a quirky teen comedy after all, but rather a dark, smalltown tragedy propelled by themes of family dysfunction, mental breakdown, betrayal and violence. The intriguing thing is that it manages, somewhat miraculously, to be both. Imagine a cinematic cross-breeding of Juno and In the Bedroom, and you’ll have a pretty fair genetic profile of Snow Angels.

Adapted from Stewart O’Nan’s 1994 debut novel, the film offers a study of three couples in a wintry, nondescript Pennsylvania town and the ways their lives intersect as a series of unfortunate events unfolds. Each couple is at a different stage in their relationship. At the

Iron Man HHHH

L

IRONY MAN “I like the sound of that, but it’s actually a goldtitanium alloy,” Downey points out after learning what the press has dubbed him.

ast summer, Transformers proved that if you make a movie about giant robots smashing each other and aim it squarely at 11-year-olds, millions of adults will come along for the ride. Given that precedent, it’s a pleasant surprise to see Iron Man, a comic-book-derived movie about giant robots smashing each other that’s not dumb. While it appeals to the inner child with action scenes that defy the laws of physics, Jon Favreau’s film also offers humor that doesn’t involve bodily fluids, and character development that doesn’t center on a winsome adolescent’s coming of age. Could it be . . . a superhero movie for grown-ups?

As weapons developer Tony Stark, Robert Downey Jr. is definitely no kid — he looks weathered — but it would be hard to call him mature. An engineering genius who inherited war-profiteering billions, Stark spends just enough of his time tinkering in his basement lab and the rest of it cavorting like Hugh Hefner.

He offers no apologies for his profession: “I like the weapon you only have to fire once,” he crows, before showing his U.S. Army clients a device called “Jericho” that lays waste to what appears to be an entire Afghan mountain range. But he’s not so smug after being captured by a multinational terrorist gang who want him to make them a Jericho of their very own.

Re-enacting the origin story from Stan Lee’s 1963 “Iron Man” comics — where the setting was Vietnam — Stark busts out by instead creating a big metal suit that enables him to hit things really hard, throw flames and, yes, fly. And a new superhero is born — sort of.

< food> “Permaculture” Takes Root in Burlington The best way to prepare for a food shortage? Grow your own.

ILLUSTRATION: MICHAEL TONN

BY SUZANNE PODHAIZER

S

trolling around his Burlington property, Jon Normandin identifies edible plant species like an experienced field guide. Dressed in navy workpants and a red-and-white flannel shirt, the white-haired IBM employee points out peach, plum, pear and cherry trees covered in delicate white flowers; blueberries and cranberry plants; pungentsmelling Egyptian “walking” onions, and herbs such as anise and tarragon. Next to his loamy vegetable garden, in the asparagus patch, plump green spears have pushed through the still-cold spring soil. These plants are just a sampling of Normandin’s productivity.

Is he cultivating this Eden on 40 acres of rural Vermont heaven? Nope. Normandin grows orchard trees, vegetable crops and even a few ornamentals on less than a quarter-acre plot — which includes the space occupied by his house — in the New North End. “My grandfather was an orchardist,” he explains. “He taught me everything he knew.”

Growing food crops within city limits is a practice with a long history. The Inca did it in ancient Machu Picchu, using terraced gardens on the mountainside to produce food for local citizens. In the U.S., suburban and urban ag was prevalent during World War II, when so-called “Victory Gardens” produced around 40 percent of the vegetables consumed nationwide. These days, though, our nation’s largest irrigated crop is green, often laden with petroleum-based fertilizers and herbicides, and is inedible. We call it “lawn.” According to a 2005 NASA-sponsored study using satellite data, the country has 32 million acres of it. >> 04B

< food> â&#x20AC;&#x153;permacultureâ&#x20AC;? << 03B

But climate change and rising food and oil prices suggest that growing more food and less grass within city limits will become a necessity. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motivating Burlington Permaculture, an association of Champlain Valley residents committed to improving â&#x20AC;&#x153;the quality and character of life in our community through urban agriculture, community educational offerings, local resource assessment, natural building projects and social networking,â&#x20AC;? says their website. To boil it down: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about sustainability.

Founding member Michael Blazewicz became acquainted with Jon Normandin and his prolific property when Normandin answered his request for plant cuttings on the Burlington Freecycle website.

Blazewicz, founder and owner of Burlington-based Round River Design, views Normandinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land as an apt example of just how much food can be grown in a small space. While teaching a permaculture design course at UVM, Blazewicz brought his students to the yard for a tour.

Over brews and snacks at

trees and every third one produces fruit, imagine that,â&#x20AC;? he muses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city plants lots of trees.â&#x20AC;?

In cities such as Boston and Philadelphia, nonprofits are exploring the idea of public orchards. In the latter, one group is working to turn abandoned lots into lush arbors that will feed low-income residents.

Normandinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fruitful yard, though not intended as a model of urban gardening, can still function as one for locals looking to use their own land more productively.

For each of the 18 years heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lived in his squat, tan house â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heated with vegetable oil collected from area restaurants â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Normandin has experimented with plants that can grow in Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cold climate, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s explored the various microclimates in his yard. Next year, for example, he may transplant his cranberries to a moister area to see if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll thrive there.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also planted trees in his neighborsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; yards, in an effort to create an area full of honeybees and diverse pollen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a standing offer to my neighbors,â&#x20AC;? Normandin says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want a fruit tree in your yard, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll buy it for you.â&#x20AC;?

ton Bike Path and at the Ethan Allen Homestead, or picking raspberries and wild grapes that often grow in tangles next to city sidewalks.

But even if that law were to change, the privilege of picking fruit and legal foraging could be abused.

That is, the utopian idea that folks will take only what they need is not necessarily the reality. Case in point: Normandin has planted a few fruit trees on public land with permission from Burlington City Arborist Warren Spinner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cars pull up at 3 a.m., and in the morning thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no fruit left,â&#x20AC;? Normandin says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the experiment.â&#x20AC;?

But, as often happens in society, the bad behavior of a few may need to be overlooked for the benefit of the community. After all, there is theft at the Intervale Farms and the numerous garden plots overseen by the Burlington Parks & Recreation Department, but, by and large, both are highly successful food-producing ventures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we start to hear about food-price increases throughout the world,â&#x20AC;? Krawczyk suggests, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silly to think that the same thing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to happen here. Those prices are going to get passed on, and fruit

I see a food shortage in several years, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to have fruit trees.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be situated for it.

DobrĂĄ Tea, Blazewicz and fellow Burlington Permaculture founder, woodworker Mark Krawczyk, explain some of their views. They believe that educating citizens about and promoting the possibilities for urban gardening can â&#x20AC;&#x153;empower people to grow their own food and provide relief for some of the hunger and poverty,â&#x20AC;? Blazewicz explains. He is involved with the Archibald Neighborhood Garden, a previously vacant lot that neighbors in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;hood turned into a source of sustenance last year.

Similar city gardens can be found on Buell and Hayward streets, as well as at the McCauley Square and Decker Towers developments.

But for Blazewicz and his associates, urban gardening doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just mean encouraging citizens to trade in sunflower beds for ones filled with salad mixes; it means getting Burlington city planners more attuned to creating sustainable food production in public spaces such as parks and greenbelts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They say that the Intervale produces 10 percent of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food,â&#x20AC;? ruminates Krawczyk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the other 90 percent of the food coming from? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that should be addressed in developing the future of our city.â&#x20AC;?

In order to increase food production, Blazewicz contends, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to have a focus on creating highly productive land.â&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s particularly passionate about the role that low-maintenance fruit trees, such as apples, can play in feeding hungry citizens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can plant

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his motivation for all this work? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been thinking about food and oil shortages since the early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s and the Arab oil embargo,â&#x20AC;? he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see a food shortage in several years, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to have fruit trees. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be situated for it.â&#x20AC;?

For the same reason, Normandin says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tucked away 10 pounds of salt and 400 canning jars full of preserved foods, along with lots of frozen kale and chard.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also got plans to create potable water from rainwater, to heat his home using geothermal energy, and to burn acorns for fuel.

While Normandinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach may seem apocalyptic to some, nobody can deny that the rising cost of fuel is squeezing the resources of middle- and low-income Americans, and that food scarcity is a huge concern worldwide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt that something is about to change,â&#x20AC;?

Krawczyk contends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things have been relatively stable, at least in our country, but tumultuousness is on the horizon.â&#x20AC;?

But while planting a seed and watching it grow may be a simple, natural act, changing peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mindsets about the nature of public resources is anything but. Right now, plucking fruit or leaves from plants on Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public property is illegal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an effort to protect against vandalism â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that effectively negates Blazewiczâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dream of public fruit trees. The law also forbids foraging for fiddlehead ferns, greens or wild mint alongside the Burling-

trees are going to take five years to produce fruit. Maybe we could work less and spend more time producing our food. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a question of values and cultural norms.â&#x20AC;?

Blazewicz adds: â&#x20AC;&#x153;And how do we balance the need for parks and recreation with the need for people to eat?â&#x20AC;?

Both men believe that implementation and public education must go hand in hand. Says Blazewicz,â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a myth that edible plants arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily beautiful. But do you really want an ornamental crab apple, or an edible grafted variety?â&#x20AC;?

Sustainability sometimes comes with a slight sacrifice of aesthetics, as wind-power advocates have suggested. Normandin admits that some of his neighbors have complained about the vegetable-oil jugs littering parts of his property, and about the look of his garden, which he mulches with scrap paper and cardboard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a little controversial, a lot of people hate me,â&#x20AC;? he acknowledges amiably. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when I put out a table full of cucumbers, those that hate me take an armful of them.â&#x20AC;? > For additional permaculture information and resources, see: burlingtonpermaculture. googlepages.com roundriverdesign.com yestermorrow.org wholesystemsdesign.com carbonfarmersofamerica.com

Entrées and Exits RESTO OPENINGS AND UPDATES

Quatre, which means “four” in French, is how many times one Burlington eatery has reinvented itself since it first opened on the corner of Battery and Main, as Greenstreet’s. The restaurant, which closed abruptly on April 18, is reopening with the same name, Quatre Bistro, confirms spokesperson Melissa Stuart. She also mentions that visitors will see the same smiling faces in the dining room and the open kitchen, save one: Chef Frank Pace is no longer on staff.

Even though it’s got “bistro” in its moniker, you can kiss the cassoulet goodbye. Instead of French fare, Quatre is going to serve up pub faves and fried foods from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. The menu will include burgers, cheese sticks, potato skins and buffalo wings.

To match the grill cuisine, the owners have stocked the dining room with flat-screens and the bar with macro-brewed beers on draft.

Look for upcoming “theme nights” and free wings from 5-6 p.m., Monday through Friday.

And don’t be surprised if this now-American restaurant with the unpronounceable French name keeps on tweaking things.

POLLAN He worked at the House of Blues and served as corporate chef in charge of new restaurants for the Walt Disney Company, but now Steve Sawyer has come home to roost. The 35-year-old chef, who grew up in Rutland and earned a culinary degree at Johnson & Wales’ Providence campus, is opening Table 24 in his hometown next month.

The eatery, named after its location at 24 Wales Street — formerly the home of a Mexican joint called Candeleros — will be an “upscale casual” restaurant and rôtisserie with 140 seats and a “substantial-sized bar,” Sawyer says. Diners will nosh on comfort foods such as prime rib and chicken cooked over hardwood, as well as steaks and fish. “The flavor profiles you get from cooking over wood are amazing,” the chef enthuses.

Another focus? Offering up lots of vino that customers can easily sample to see what they like.

“We’re certainly going to be doing a stronger ‘wine by the glass program’ than Southern Vermont is accustomed to,” Sawyer suggests.

Jon and Lucie Fath, owners of Toscano Café Bistro in Richmond, aren’t going anywhere, but they have hired a new chef, 27-year-old Joe Ianelli, to head the kitchen at their cozy Mediterranean eatery.

“Joe was our original sous chef when we opened five years ago,” Jon explains. But the budding chef left his hometown to get a degree from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, and took a job at the upscale Salish Lodge outside of Seattle. There, Fath boasts, Ianelli cooked for Microsoft bigwigs — maybe even Bill Gates.

Now that he’s back in Vermont, “He’s bringing in beautiful specials,” Fath opines. The Faths and Ianelli are working on tweaking their brunch menu; the Mother’s Day brunch, to include classics such as steak ’n’ eggs and lobster ravioli, is a sign of things to come. The dinner and dessert menus will “evolve as summer comes along.”

Fath says he has confidence in Ianelli and his other kitchen staff, including a NECI intern and a staffer who previously cooked at Chez Henri Restaurant and Bistro in Warren. “We are really excited about having them in the kitchen,” he says.

“And when we’re out front with the customers, we have a lot of confidence that the food is just as nice.”

National franchise Nothing But Noodles — a transcultural carb celebration which, oddly enough, also serves lots of things that aren’t noodles — opened in late April in Dorset Street’s Blue Mall.

Managing Partner Eric Filkowski opted for a “soft opening” rather than a media blitz: “I’m not big on making 400 enemies and spending the next month trying to please them,” he explains.

What are the hottest dishes so far? “I’m selling

a lot of spicy Japanese noodles; the stuffed shells are a very popular item, and so is the ‘Southwest Chipotle,’” Filkowski says. That last one is a creamy fettuccine dish spiced up with hot pepper.

Noodle-free best sellers include the cucumber salad and the barbecued chicken salad.

“It hasn’t been without its bumps,” Filkowski admits of the opening. “But people have been pretty psyched, and I’m happy with what we’ve got for traffic.”

Sparks were flying at The Bee’s Knees in Morrisville two weekends ago, and it wasn’t because of owner Sharon Deitz’s tasty cuisine.

The small blaze, which broke out on the roof of a shed adjoining the eatery, was quickly contained by the local fire department.

Deitz, who is currently renovating and expanding her restaurant, recently hired a new chef and snagged permission to add outdoor seating. TBK will close in June so the remainder of the work can take place, then reopen with new options for eating indoors or al fresco.

Love cookies? The staffers at Liz Lovely, Inc. in Waitsfield are mixing it up with four new varieties of certified-organic vegan treats: cinnamon “Snicker Dudes,” oatmeal raisin “Goats a-Grazin’,” coconut and lemon “Macaroonies Sock-It-to-Me” and wicked “Chocolate Moosedragons” — chocoholic bait featuring chips, cocoa powder and cacao nibs.

The cookies go on sale May 12 at natural-food stores and on the company’s website. Sorry, Mom — I’ll get you some next year!

Asia Major? Winooski is bursting with Eastern eateries. As of today, you can get your chopsticks on at Peking Duck House, Tiny Thai and Pho Dang Vietnamese Café. Soon Asian Bistro, which is located at Maple Tree Place in Williston, will open a second branch near the Champlain Mill.

But it doesn’t end there. In early June, “Champ” Chompupong, owner of Burlington’s Bangkok Bistro, plans to unveil 88 Sushi and Thai Cuisine in the old Blue Star Café spot.

The decor, Chompupong says, will be unique in Vermont. “I can’t explain — you’ll have to come see it,” he adds tantalizingly. Rather than offering fancy martinis, as he does on Church Street, the restaurateur will focus on beer, wine and sake.

Folks unfamiliar with the many variants of that fermented beverage may even be able to get a mini-course in “Sake 101.”

But what about the proximity — and popularity — of Tiny Thai? Chompupong doesn’t seem worried. “It’s Thai food, but I think my food is different than Tiny Thai. My quality and presentation are not the same.”

very localvore knows the feeling that settles in around early spring: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been five months since you agreed to eat food grown close to home, but your social conscience is only so patient. You find yourself sneaking guilty glances at the salad section of the grocery store.

The mesclun is still from California. But to succumb now â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to purchase out-of-state roughage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would be unconscionable. Which

online and in local stores.

But Burkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daily Gardener operation could be the quirkiest sprout biz this side of Petaluma.

On March 27, I arrived at Hunger Mountain Co-op in Montpelier for one of Burkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public sprouting workshops. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t my first encounter with indoor greens. A former housemate had grown non-soil sprouts in mason jars and used them to supplement raw-foodist alchemy. For the past few years, I have purchased hydroponic alfalfa as an occasional

cited commercial hydroponic sprouts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; alfalfa in particular â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as potential carriers of salmonella. In 1995, for example, some Vermont College students were among 20,000 in North America who suffered ugly side effects from tainted batches. While thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no absolute guarantee that any seed is free of harmful bacteria, the soil-grown kind isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t subject to water-borne risks.

Oh, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good for you. A pound of Daily Gardener sprouts offers four times the pro-

Trays of soil sprouts crowded his mudroom. The living room crawled with sprawling buckwheat, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;mad scientist,â&#x20AC;? sprouts. More trays of radish, sunflower, peas and broccoli varieties lived in his basement cabinets. makes you wonder: How do ethical eaters craft off-season meals that are both tasty and non-masochistic?

Consider sprouts, says Peter Burke, a tombstone salesman who runs an online sprouting business out of his Calais home.

Since 2006, via the web, Daily Gardener has sold compost, trays and seeds to DIY sprouters in such distant locales as Ohio. Soil sprouting, Burke suggests, allows you to garden all winter long and eat it, too.

Sprouts arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t new, of course, but a classic health-food staple that never went out of style. City Market in Burlington offers eight varieties. Chester-based Gourmet Greens sells four kinds of soilgrown greens, plus sprouting kits,

hummus-sandwich supplement.

But Burkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soil sprouts, also known as micro greens, are different. Instead of sprouting in water, he spreads seeds from supply catalogues across trays full of potting soil, compost and kelp meal. After the seeds have germinated for four days in darkness, they begin soaking up sunlight. A week later, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready for munching.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sweet deal, in more ways than one. A $170 Daily Gardener kit produces sprouts for $8 per pound, roughly the same price of City Market mesclun. Using homegrown compost, per-pound production expenses shrink to about $2, or a quarter the retail cost of California greens.

Besides, soil-grown sprouts are safe. Food-safety specialists have

tein of mesclun, Burke reports, plus extra Vitamin C. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, he adds, indoor greens promote positive feng shui. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This would make for a good book,â&#x20AC;? a woman in the audience said as we showered Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Naturals â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goddessâ&#x20AC;? dressing over a salad of radish, broccoli, buckwheat, pea and sunflower sprouts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got one almost written,â&#x20AC;? replied Burke, a jovial 57-year-old in jeans and shirt sleeves. He had pitched a how-to manual on indoor gardening to two publishing houses, but neither was interested.

I was. Burkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sprouts were satisfying my salad-starved taste buds with a fabulous crunch. Each variety tasted like the individual veggie from whence it derived.

The radish had a spicy kick, for

own sprout project. I thanked Burke, threw the box onto my passenger seat and motored back to Burlington.

I opened the kit in the kitchen of my messy one-bedroom abode.

“Whether you live in an apartment or a country home,” read the introductory materials, “you can grow your own greens and save money on groceries, too!”

Sounds easy enough, I thought.

My history of poor plant husbandry was a source of concern, however. In college, I had drowned a friend’s plants while babysitting them over spring break. At the Seven Days office, my peace plant is protesting for more root space. The only greenery in my Burlington kitchen?

The mold on my bread.

Not surprisingly, my indoor-gardening experiment was plagued by carelessness. First, I let the seeds germinate for a day

instance, and the earthy pea shoots tasted like summer afternoons.

The following week, Burke invited me to dinner in Calais.

“It’s a tan clapboard house,” he explained over the phone. “You’ll see my greens in the window.”

No kidding. Trays of soil sprouts, which Burke sells to U-32 High School, crowded his mudroom. The living room crawled with sprawling buckwheat, or “mad scientist,” sprouts.

More trays of radish, sunflower, peas and broccoli varieties lived in his basement cabinets. Beside the woodstove. Above his exercise bike. And, of course, on the windowsills of the family kitchen, where Burke, his wife Deb and their two sons were preparing the mother of all sprout meals.

“That is a big sprout salad,” Burke’s older son Dave, 22, declared after his father had harvested a pound of the usual suspects and mixed them with

chopped cucumbers, avocado, olives, tomatoes and red onions.

“We are in sprout academy,” joked Deb, who was preparing a soy-balsamic dressing by the sink.

“Most of our friends,” she told me, “know what they’re getting into when they come over.”

We feasted. As before, I noticed how each sprout exuded both crispness and personality. The salad, too, was perfectly suited to the cheap Chardonnay I had purchased at Hunger Mountain Co-op. After a main course of pasta and barbequed tempeh, Burke sautéed more sprouts with garlic and sweet, dehydrated tomatoes.

On my way out, I picked up a Daily Gardener kit, with sprout seeds, compost and trays, for my

and a half, instead of the recommended 6 to 12 hours. Then I forgot to remove the seedlings after the requisite four-day hibernation period — a goof that left them looking rather anemic.

As the sprouts matured by my windowsill, I alternately over- or under-watered.

But soil sprouts, as someone at Hunger Mountain had remarked, are “very forgiving,” and mine didn’t punish me in the least. If some got leggy from sunlight deprivation, I decided, it wasn’t a bad thing.

I started eating sprouts in simple salads. Before each meal, I would snip the stalks of five main sprout varieties, rinse, add onion, carrots, garlic or cheese and a balsamic dressing. At the office,

no one noticed when I snuck homemade sprouts into a hummus wrap.

Once I had gotten cozy with my micro greens, I began butchering them with greater frequency. During an impromptu post-theater gathering, I tossed broccoli and buckwheat sprouts with orzo, olives and grated parmesan. Thus prepared, they offered hints of herbivorous ancestry, but without upstaging the orzo’s salty character. Later that week, I brought a sprout-barleyginger concoction to a potluck.

“How did you make this?” I was asked by incredulous vegans.

“With what?”

Before long, sprouts found their way into all things edible. Sprouts, wheat berries and apples, dusted with curry powder and washed down with microbrew; sprout tempura in sake dipping sauce; sprout spring rolls with mint and cilantro; sprout-Emmentaler omelettes. At one Old North End birthday party, a friend fed her turtle a sprout as an hors d’oeuvre.

All that experimentation came at a price, though. After one Saturday dinner party, my kitchen was a disaster area: Trays and compost on the floor; sprout stumps on the counter; hulls littering the carpet. In two weeks, I had served, consumed and gifted roughly 6 pounds of homemade produce.

“It feels like we’re sitting in a clear-cut forest,” I observed.

Yes, sort of, said my friend.

This must be how loggers feel, he suggested, except that the sprouts went into our bellies, as opposed to a paper mill.

His explanation cheered me, but only slightly. This wasn’t a simple matter of nutrition or cost-benefit analysis. In other words, I missed my sprouts.

I called Peter Burke one evening for moral support. His Daily Gardener formula had worked beautifully in spite of my ineptitude, I reported. I had even pioneered some interesting sprout recipes.

“Sounds terrific!” Burke said.

He had never dreamed of sprout spring rolls — until now.

“It was terrific, Peter,” I said, “but I almost feel sad now that they’re gone.” Worse, the messy results of my experiment were on conspicuous display whenever guests visited my Burlington digs.

What was Burke’s strategy for coping with sprout loss?

“Unless you’re a pranayama yogi who subsists on air,” replied the daily gardener, you have to consume as part of the karmic cycle. Besides, he said, sprouting is just an indoor version of gardening, an activity in which the “circle of life” comes with the territory.

“Life force has to come from something,” added Burke, who meditates regularly at a Calais ashram. “But next time, put all that stuff away so people won’t see the leftover corpses.” >

<music> TOAST OF THE TOWN :: ’Twas the Roaring Nineties and The Queen City was an epicenter of altrock excellence. Bands such as The Pants, Envy and Wide Wail reigned supreme, most often holding court at the late, great Club Toast (now Second Floor). One of the most successful acts to emerge during the decade was Zola Turn. Originally an all-female power-pop outfit led by the sultry Alice

Austin,

the group gained some national notoriety before disbanding in 2002.

This Monday, Austin — now based in Boston — has a homecoming of sorts with a gig at Red Square, with local chanteuse Caroline O’Connor and psychedelic rockers Lendway.

COME TOGETHER

Early last Thursday morning, fire consumed an apartment building at 144 North Union Street in Burlington. Fortunately, all of the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nine residents were able to escape unharmed. But the house and virtually everything inside it was a total loss.

The blaze and its cause â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an irresponsibly discarded cigarette butt that smoldered between two couch cushions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have been well reported by local media. However, few outlets have noted that a couple of the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inhabitants were two of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest

DJ A-DOG

turntablists, VT Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DJ A-Dog and Tick Tickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mike Device.

The personal loss for both DJs was significant. Nearly all of ADogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possessions, including clothing, records and DJ equipment, was destroyed. Worse still, both of his cats died in the blaze.

Mike Device was slightly more fortunate in that he was able to salvage some of his records, and his cat survived. However, the vast majority of his personal effects was destroyed.

The response from the Burlington music scene has been swift. Both Higher Ground and Red Square have benefit shows in the works to help get A-Dog back on his feet. The dates and lineups for both shows are still TBA. Additionally, A-Dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web designer Scott Campbell has set up a PayPal account on the DJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website so that folks can chip in financially.

Like almost any music career, DJing is not exactly a lucrative endeavor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even when one is a nationally known commodity like A-Dog. Check out www.djadog.com or www.djadog.blogspot.com and give what you can. Every little bit helps.

The Vermont music scene â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and in particular, the Burlington segment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; prides itself on being a close-knit community. If that notion is true, then a tragedy like this affects all of us, whether fans, performers or venue owners â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or scribes, for that matter. How we respond in the face of such adversity will speak volumes about the

strength and character of our humble little scene. A-Dog and Mike Device have a long, hard road before them, and anything we can do collectively to help can only ease their burden.

A ZINE TO TAKE HOLD OF THE SCENE Perhaps youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve noticed the curiously crude, handwritten flyers gracing many a Burlington message board calling on artists and writers to submit materials for publication. If not, you should get out more often, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;cuz theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re freakinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; everywhere.

Anyway, the flyers are a call to action for a new local art zine set to make its debut later this month entitled . . . um, I have no idea, actually. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think that would be the first thing theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d let people know, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you?

Maybe not naming stuff is, like, totally cool now and I just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the memo. Nobody tells me anything.

What I do know is that the new rag is open for submissions and will accept anything sent to it. While the literary gumbo approach might seem a recipe for disaster, the idea is to provide as wide a spectrum of material as possible and give voice to the local art scene by using, well, the voices of the art scene. A noble effort indeed.

This Friday, the zineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s publishers are hosting a kickoff/benefit show at Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s epicenter of random curiosities, Speaking Volumes on Pine Street, with a fittingly eclectic lineup, including songwriter Anna Pardenik, hip-hop roots-rockers Second Agenda, Brooklyn indie throwbacks The Dig, B-Town jamsters Greyspoke and hypnotic electro-reggae outfit Dubnotix.

The evening also doubles as the deadline for folks to submit works for publication in the first edition. So pull together your comic strips, poetry or wildly nonsensical rants and send them to burlington.zine@gmail.com.

LAUGH IN Kids say the darndest things. Especially when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re given microphones and made to stand up in front of a room full of drunks and tell jokes.

This Saturday, Nectarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is hosting â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Kids of Comedy,â&#x20AC;? an evening of standup and improv featuring some of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most promising young funny men (boys?), such as Roger Miller, the winner of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Higher Ground Comedy Battle. I was a judge for that competition and, believe me, Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s act alone is worth the price of admission â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the show is actually free, but you get the drift.

The lineup will feature a few other notable HGCB contestants â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all of whom are under the age of 20 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including Mike Thomas and Jack Offenhartz, as well as a relative newbie, 16-year-old James Huessy.

And word on the street is that the Essex High School Varsity Improv Team will also be making an appearance, presumably to beat the crap out of the Champlain Valley Union J.V. Debate Team. Ah, high school!

FUNK YOU Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been giving the folks at Nectarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Club Metronome a lot of grief for the number of funk acts that grace each venueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule from week to week. Frankly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably not entirely fair on my part. The bottom line is that Nectarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Metronome book funk bands because people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially college kids with daddyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MasterCard â&#x20AC;&#x201D; want to

LETTUCE hear funk bands. So I guess my gripe is with people. In particular, funky, college-aged people. But I digress.

This Thursday, Club Metronome is hosting a funk band that really stands out amid the usual fare. A supergroup of sorts, NYCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lettuce is a seven-piece outfit composed of members of Soulive and The John Scofield Band. Their stated goal: â&#x20AC;&#x153;keeping the James Brown concept of simple, heavy grooves, tight-ass horns and party vibes alive.â&#x20AC;? Here, here!

The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest release, Rage!, is essentially a tribute to influential funk forbears such as Parliament Funkadelic, Earth, Wind & Fire and Sly & The Family Stone. And yes, it rages.

So, college kids, get your fix this weekend with some honest-togoodness funk, and then get the hell out of my town. Just kidding. We love you, dudes. Honest.

LAND HO! I just received word that, thanks to a generous donation from international dairy giant Saputo, Big Heavy Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vermont Music Library will finally have a permanent home.

For months, BHW has been in the process of renovating the L.S. Gordon Store â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a general store built in 1907 and located in Starksboro â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to house its ever-expanding music archives. Saputo, the fifth-largest cheese producer in the U.S., donated an adjacent property, affording the project space for safe parking and ensuring the natural beauty surrounding the property.

BHW will meet its new neighbors with a community potluck and live performance this June at the Starksboro Public Library, where it will unveil more details about the project and renovations. In the meantime, visit www.vmls.org for more information on both the new space and the library itself. >

BILL DIXON WITH EXPLODING STAR ORCHESTRA, BILL DIXON WITH EXPLODING STAR ORCHESTRA

JAPHY RYDER, NO CONSEQUENCE (Fat Cat Music, CD)

(Thrill Jockey Records, CD) If space is the place where music goes to die, then Bill Dixon with Exploding Star Orchestra is a sonic supernova. Multimedia impresario Rob Mazurek — who made his bones leading the avant-garde Chicago Underground — once again conducts his ensemble (ESO) through a set of improvisational, freak-out jazz. Here he enlists legendary trumpeter Bill Dixon as his muse. Dixon organized the famed “October Revolution” in 1964 — four nights of innovative music in New York City that featured such nascent talents as John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman. Dixon also founded Bennington College’s Black Music department, where he taught for nearly 30 years before retiring in 1996. Coincidentally, that’s the same year Trey Anastasio released Surrender to the Air, an ambitious foray — and my introduction — into the Byzantine world of free jazz.

As maestro, cornetist and self-described “abstractivist,” Mazurek is a generation younger than Dixon but is no less perverse — his photo is purposely blurred on the website. Luckily for listeners, the free-form medium affords such willfulness room to stretch. And stretch he does. “Entrances/One” opens with rim shots and thunderous timpani, as drummers John Herndon and Mike Reed rally the action around up-tempo grooves.

Guitars riff urgently off each other, while layers of double bass and vibraphone rise in a cresting tide, only to drop out moments later, ejecting listeners into formless ether. It’s as if a solar wind hit the recording studio and spiked the boards.

There are startling moments in “Entrances/One” and “Two” when the brass behemoths trade jabs, trumpets screaming in an echoing maelstrom. Dixon attacks and Mazurek’s cornet sizzles like a hibachi. But with every promising wind-up comes stretches of flat water that suck the life out faster than a Jon Fishman vacuum solo. It’s maddening.

Nested conspicuously between these 18-minute sketches is Mazurek’s awkwardly titled “Constellations for Innerlight Projections.” Penned as a video score, it bears little relation to Dixon’s compositions. And with two minutes of needless exposition, the track whines like a nap-deprived child. “The notes are a reference,” explains Damon Locks (of The Eternals) in a laughable rap. Mercifully, his didactic spoken word is trampled under blistering horns, as the orchestra grows restless. Even within the context of free jazz, the schizophrenic “Constellations” overwhelms. And, clocking in at 24 minutes, it’s a bit much.

At its best, ESO show bursts of astute improv, such as Nicole Mitchell’s breathless flute and the segue between cosmic lullaby and swinging jam in “Constellations.” But like a collapsing star, nothing here is sustained for long. Sounds spin cohesively, then unravel into frenzied streaks of noise. Sun Ra would dig it, but absent any musical narrative, Exploding Star’s aural debris is for “abstractivists” only.

It’s tempting to assume that a group claiming to blend jazz and rock is really just another aimless jam band.

But once upon a time — as far back as the 1960s with Can, or even more recently with post-rock bands of the 1990s — jazz and rock came together in an innovative fashion, and was appreciated by more than stoned college kids.

On their new album, No Consequence, Burlington’s Japhy Ryder demonstrate exactly how to blend jazz, rock, funk and electronica without losing sight of the fact that great songs — even instrumentals — are made with memorable melodies. The band incorporates a host of disparate influences without coming across as forced or formless; its songs are short enough to hold interest yet long enough for the players to stretch out and experiment.

For this album, the quartet evolved into a sextet, adding Jon Goneau on Fender Rhodes keyboards and melodica, and Joshua Pfiel on percussion. The extra players give No Consequence a more fleshed-out, well-rounded sound than was heard on Japhy Ryder’s debut.

“Abami” is an ode to Fela Kuti and, unsurprisingly, is heavily influenced by Afrobeat. Will Andrews’ jazzy, distinctive trumpet — a Japhy Ryder trademark — leads the way against a polyrhythmic backdrop that incorporates hand percussion and Pat Ormiston’s funky-yet-subtle bass line.

“Johnny Don’t” sets driving percussion against a spacey soundscape before emerging into a memorable melodic theme. This blend of ambience and anthem recalls indie-jammers The Slip or post-rock forefathers Tortoise. “Dolohav” brings a great call-and-response sequence between Andrews’ trumpet and Jeremy Kizina’s guitar, anchored by Jay Thime’s heavy rock drums.

Perhaps the album’s most surprising moment is “User58.” Though its short running time might suggest a throwaway interlude, the song’s blend of trip-hop beats, swaggering melodica and reverbed trumpet give it a lovely, chill-out electronic vibe. It’s a welcome change of pace amidst the longer, multi-part songs on the disc.

The unique sound Andrews coaxes from his trumpet is easy to focus on. But the rest of the band is ambitious enough to keep all the songs here fresh and multidimensional. Japhy Ryder exhibit a lot of influences on No Consequence, but they manage to do them all justice.

SEVEN DAYS | may 07-14, 2008 | music 15B AMADIS

Free Bird On parole with Amadis

BY DAN BOLLES

“

I

heard a guy ask a guard if he’d ever jerked off with his own tears. It was stunning,” says Chaim Rochester, 32, guitarist for local metal band Amadis. Rochester, a.k.a. J.J. Harris, is speaking about his recent 45-day stint at the St. Johnsbury Regional Correctional Facility.

“You know, it was relatively lowkey. No one tried to shank me,” he says. “The number-one question I’ve been asked is if I had to eat the Nutraloaf,” he continues. “The answer is no.”

Rochester’s sentence was cut in half from 90 days, essentially for good behavior — hence, no Nutraloaf — and the fact that he was a non-violent offender. He was released on March 16 and has been under house arrest until recently, when he made parole. The timing could not have been better: Amadis has a reunion show of sorts this Friday at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge. “My paperwork

Amadis performs Friday, May 9, with Made In Iron and Arkain at Higher Ground’s Showcase Lounge, 9 p.m. $8/10.

comes today or tomorrow,” says Rochester with a wry grin.

On a recent Thursday evening, a reporter ventures into 242 Main, the dimly lit, all-ages rock club in the basement of Burlington’s Memorial Auditorium. On stage is Rochester, bedecked in leather from head to toe. To his left are the rest of Amadis: bassist Gustavus Adolphus, singer Sid Dystic, lead guitarist Franky Vitriol and drummer Johan Sebastian Rock.

They are also leather-clad and, with the exception of Dystic, sport long, stringy hair. PETA is probably not in the Amadis fanclub.

The band is rehearsing — in full leather — for the upcoming Higher Ground show, its first performance since Rochester’s incarceration on February 1. Despite a nearly two-month hiatus, the band is energetic and musically tight, and exhibit more stage presence than the two or three listeners in the room would seem to inspire. “We always do a dress rehearsal,” says Adolphus, smiling. Taking off his studded arm braces, he adds, “Otherwise, you forget how hot this stuff gets.”

If Amadis sound like a gimmicky heavy metal band, it’s because they are, in many respects. The band

formed last year, ostensibly as an excuse to buy leather pants and a Flying V guitar. Really.

Like many other Vermont musicians, each member of Amadis is in other projects. “I think I’ve had two bands start and break up just since Chaim went to jail,” says Vitriol, who also handles booking for 242 under his given name of Franky Andreas. But shortly after they formed, Amadis quickly became a priority. “This is the band everybody wants to see,” Rochester told Seven Days in a January interview.

Though Amadis’ rise in popularity was relatively quick, the band has yet to capitalize on its modest momentum — in part, of course, because of Rochester’s incarceration. Exacerbating the problem, Rock will jet to Europe for an undetermined period of time later this summer.

While Rock is away, Amadis have lined up a fill-in drummer — Cccome?’s Jon Stella — to play out a string of gigs before Adolphus goes overseas, too. The only problem? Stella is vegan.

“We had to have a real talk about the leather thing,” says Vitriol. “And we were going to make the concession that he

“The coupons are great.

I’ve used them all!”

— ROB FRIESEL, BURLINGTON

“I’ve actually changed my weekend plans because of NOW landing in my inbox.”

“It’s a great way to plan the weekend!”

could wear vinyl. But then he decided he could wear leather if it’s secondhand leather,” Vitriol says.

“EBay leather.”

Though Amadis have some local name recognition, many Burlington music fans have yet to see them live. So what could the uninitiated expect to see this Friday?

“The Amadis personal guarantee is that you will be laughing and having a good time. That’s what everybody who buys a ticket gets told,” says Adolphus. “But you don’t have to be laughing with us.”

Adds Rochester, “You don’t have to be into metal. It’s the kind of metal that’s about having a good time.”

Vitriol concurs. “It’s not progrock. It’s not something that ends in ‘core,’” he advises. “It’s just straight-up old heavy metal.”

The conversation eventually turns back to Rochester’s jail time.

As he’s only been out a few weeks, the novelty has yet to wear off.

“The best story is one that got told about me that’s not true,” says Rochester. “Somebody started a rumor that I was going to be in there longer because some kid was selling drugs out of my cell and I beat the shit out of him,” he continues with a laugh.

“I heard that,” says Adolphus.

“It’s obviously not true, since you’re standing in front of me.”

Rochester and his band mates display good humor about the jail term. And why not? Amadis are back together and rocking hard . . . at least until half the members flee to Europe.

Impending hiatus aside, Rochester has the look of a man who is just glad to be home.

“Within two weeks, my life was right back to normal. I’m back to work, back in the band,” he says.

“Everything is as it should be.” >

“I love getting this ‘heads up’ email.

It really does help me take advantage of what Vermont has to offer.”

We love the creativity and controversy of our ads. They truly stand out and strengthen the brand of our establishment.”

no holds barred Professors assign Aristotle to teach students the basics of drama.

Perhaps they should instead use professional wrestling, which features protagonists and antagonists (“faces” and “heels”), elaborate story arcs and a highly developed theory of the difference between real and fake (or “kayfabe,” the industry slang for staged events). No wonder this savvy blend of high-flying sport and vaudeville entertainment has been called “soap operas for men.” Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, the biggest U.S. rival to the World Wrestling Entertainment juggernaut, broadcasts its Orlando matches weekly on Spike TV and monthly on pay-per-view, but this year it’s also taking the show on the road. At three North Country appearances of “The Road to Lockdown,” the hexagonal ring will hold real-life spouses Kurt and Karen Angle, belligerent Booker T (who’s been known to crown himself “King Booker”), TNA Women’s Champion “Awesome Kong” and more.

scene@ PETER PAN

MCCARTHY ARTS CENTER, ST. MICHAEL’S COLLEGE, COLCHESTER, FRIDAY, MAY 2, 7 P.M. PHOTO: MATTHEW THORSEN

It’s been a long time since I believed in faeries. However, as I sat down in a packed theater for the St. Michael’s Drama Club production of Peter Pan, I was determined to let my faith be born again.

Held on the main stage of the McCarthy Arts Center, the student-produced play featured an impressive array of colorful costumes, swashbuckling scenes and, of course, flying.

After all, Peter Pan would not be Peter Pan without his ability to fly, and the producers were obviously aiming for authenticity. The actors undertook aerial lessons from ZFX, a company that specializes in theatrical flying effects. In this case, it appeared that Peter and friends were hooked onto a cable of sorts that would lift them up and suspend them as they indulged in back flips and airborne arabesques.

Unfortunately, I missed the open workshop ZFX held last week at the college that offered a tutorial on how to fly on stage. For all I know, the pixie dust did the trick.

The airborne effects incited a lot of “oohs” and “ahhs” from the child-filled audience but did not distract from the plot or the fine acting. In keeping with Mary Martin stage tradition, a woman, Tina Shantz, played Pan. She was convincing as a mischievous adolescent boy, as was the mostly female crew of the “Lost Boys.”

There were many rambunctious scenes where pirates, Indians (PC-updated as “Native Americans”), mermaids and Lost Boys clashed, both on stage and in the aisles. It was reminiscent of recess on an elementary school playground. During these episodes, I noticed the nuances of dialogue that, whether ad-libbed or scripted, complemented the chemistry between the characters.

I would have preferred the play to end with the epilogue in the novel, which includes Peter visiting a grown-up Wendy years later and meeting her daughter. Instead, Peter Pan and Wendy Darling parted ways with barely a good-bye, leaving me without a satisfying sense of closure. Otherwise, the play was immensely enjoyable.

Near the end, Peter asked the audience to clap if they believed in faeries. Did I do it? Yes, and I’m also considering taking flying lessons.

MATER FOR REFLECTION

PHOTO COURTESY OF JORDAN SILVERMAN

May is the season for students and alums to honor their alma mater — literally, “bountiful mother” — and for all of us to fête our human moms. When Christ Church, Presbyterian, invited Burlingtonbased soprano Shyla Nelson to perform on Mother’s Day as part of its inaugural Red Chair Series on Religion and the Arts, she saw it as “a wonderful opportunity to create a program that celebrates the many aspects and dimensions of motherhood . . . and to celebrate our connection to Mother Earth at this ‘greening’ time of the year.”

The frequent Vermont Symphony Orchestra soloist, whose voice has been called “crystalline,” assembled a vernal program that includes Schubert art songs, Handel arias, three 19th-century settings of Ave Maria, lullabies from around the world and two original pieces by her accompanist on piano, Xiudan Lin. Maybe Mom would like tickets?

DYNAMIC DUO David Francey will never know if he’d have been famous had he stayed in his native Scotland, but a move to Ontario at age 12 proved fortuitous. So did putting down his carpenter’s hammer and picking up the guitar full-time — which he did only in 2002. In short order the singer-songwriter-storyteller became well known, and beloved, across his adopted country and beyond. A three-time winner of the prestigious Canadian Juno Award — this year for his recording Right of Passage — Francey also garnered a Canadian Folk Music Award for Best Singer, a couple of U.S. honors and the Golden Quill Award for songwriting. No wonder a Toronto newspaper dubbed him “the closest thing this country has to Woody Guthrie.” Fellow folkie from New Hampshire Craig Werth — who played guitar and dulcimer on Right of Passage — teams up with Francey for a Mother’s Day gig at the Charlotte Coffeehouse.

WOMEN seeking MEN CALM, COOL AND COLLECTED I’m a laid-back mama (literally). I’m tall (5’11”) so I hope you will be at least that.

I love being outside. I love the sound of an acoustic guitar and words that come from the depths of the soul. I am a deep thinker, yet very simple. I love conversing with wise minds and learning something new and interesting. gypsy_mama, 27,l, #109589 SWEET AND SMART DEADHEAD I am new to B-town and looking to make friends and perhaps go on a few dates.

TallActiveLady, 47,l, #109474 HUMOR, PLAY, BALANCE, SPONTANEITY, COMMUNICATION Here is the deal. I could write all this stuff that would sound like all sorts of expectations, but that wouldn’t be fair to anyone.

Then we can go from there and see what happens. tinydancer, 25,l, #109483 ANIMAL LOVER I am a college graduate with a degree in Psychology. I have blue eyes and brown hair.

Fairly quirky, moderately pretentious, endearingly clumsy collegiate ISO intellectual rule-breaker for passionate arguments, warmweather basking and general tomfoolery. Only those who do not smoke, who understand the difference between “your” and “you’re” and who embrace 5’9’’ brunettes should answer.

Best of luck! haecceity86, 21,l, #109363

i Spy...

Hello Mistress Maeve, I only enjoy the taste of wine on my lover’s lips (she has lovely lips). I was wondering if any harm would come from me tasting wine from her vagina? In particular, I’d like to pour it over her and lick it up.

Is there anything in the wine that would irritate that sensitive area? Would any wine be safer than another?

Chizzled Leunig’s Waiter Sunday brunch was only so enjoyable due to how tasty you looked. Unfortunately, you weren’t our server. I’m tall with brown curly hair, rocking the Burton apparel.

When: Sunday, May 4, 2008. Where: Leunig’s Bistro, Church St. You: Man. Me: Man. #903730 Sexy Supe, Sweet Smile Your Joybaloo is just around the corner. I wish I could help you find it, but I won’t hold you back by trying. When: Saturday, May 3, 2008. Where: Burlington. You: Woman. Me: Man. u #903728 Black honda Maine plates Saw you on Main and then N. Union. You have a nice smile. Wanna get coffee?

When: Friday, May 2, 2008. Where: Main St. You: Man. Me: Woman. #903727

Thank you for all your advice, Wine Connoisseur Dear W.C., I drink to you, Wine Connoisseur, for thinking outside the box of wine. Mixing two things you love, such as wine and sex, can make for a fine blend of flavors.

That said, you do want to drink responsibly. Some people are allergic to the sulfites in vino, so you’ll want to be sure your muse can imbibe it safely before pouring it all over her Napa Valley. You’ll also want to be on the look-out for wines that include eggs, milk protein and fish membrane — common allergens.

My friends at Planned Parenthood of Northern New England warn that even a woman who is not allergic to drinking wine may still find its ingredients irritate the sensitive skin of the vulva. Also, PPNNE suggests not putting the wine directly into the vagina, as yeast would probably love the high sugar content of some wines — and nothing puts a cork in your sex life like a raging yeast infection.

In all likelihood, if your lady can drink the fruit of the vine, she can handle having it poured over her nether regions. However, if she has extra-sensitive skin, you might devise other ways to drink her in. Wine and other liquids are delicious when tasted from nipples, fingers, toes and cheeks.

Cheers,

mm
