Vermont Shows Its Colors « p.23

when the 2010 census is completed, it will show that people of color exceed 10 percent of Burlington’s population. “I can feel it. But then again,” she jokes, “I’ve been here so long, I’m happy just to see anyone else with a suntan.” What needs to change? According to Hines, sometimes just the little things, such as more community outreach. For example, she notes that the City of Burlington has a registry of minority contractors so that a certain percentage of all city-contracted work goes to minority-owned businesses. But, she adds, there are only four names on that list. Why? There’s no system in place for seeking out new ones. Additionally, Hines says, Vermont’s media need more people of color. Most local news outlets, including Seven Days, have none working in editorial positions. Carney and Colston say it’s important for white allies to “step up” and address racial injustice themselves. Colston, who recently declared he was “done” speaking at Martin Luther King Jr. Day events, says, “I spend most of my time making white folks feel safe and comfortable. And I think that’s true for most people of color.” There are some glimmers of progress. At UVM, students of color make up 12 percent of the incoming freshman class — the largest proportion in the school’s history — and a young, white woman from Massachusetts has begun an antiracism group on campus called “Aspiring Allies.” “I pray that more white brothers and sisters will find their courage to speak up to injustice and stand on the side of truth,” Colston says. “That’s when we’ll have real change in this country. Until then, it’s just going to be business as usual.” Spoken like a true leader. m

the purview of her “official” duties. For example, she recently met with a group of foreign-born housekeepers who told her they were being discriminated against by a “large Burlington employer.” (She declined to say which one.) When she asked the women the reason for the discrimination, they all pointed to the color of their skin. Fortunately, after the employer learned that Martinez de Osaba was organizing a protest by the housekeepers, the offending supervisor was replaced. Still, she says, it shouldn’t take the threat of a public demonstration for a major Vermont employer to do the right thing. “I think we need to progress beyond that,” she says. “It’s 2009 and it’s not OK for employers to mistreat refugees just because of a language barrier or the color of their skin.” Another emerging leader is JEANiNE buNzigiYi, who’s been working for the Burlington Housing Authority for the last two and a half years. She also serves as a home/school liaison for African families who speak French, Swahili and Lingala. Like other such liaisons, Bunzigiyi’s work in the community isn’t limited to her employment. She gets phone calls at all hours of the day and night seeking help or advice. “It’s more than just 20 hours a week. We do almost everything,” she says. “We really are the voices in the community.”

uneducated. Says Neupane, a college grad, “If I have to make that person understand that I speak English, then it’s going to take me a couple of months to reach them.” Khadka and Neupane both work as advocates for the 300 or so Bhutanese who began arriving in Vermont in 2008. The single biggest challenge facing their community, they explain, is that half of the local Bhutanese have no formal schooling whatsoever. Many more lack employment necessities, such as reading, writing and computer skills. Although both men are employed by the Burlington School District to help Nepali-speaking families adjust to life in Vermont, they admit that their work extends far beyond their official job descriptions: They help community members fill out job applications and pay bills, serve as translators, and even explain unique aspects of mainstream culture — which is itself a challenge for two men who’ve been in this country only since 2008 themselves. As Neupane says good-naturedly, “We do not have our weekends to ourselves.” In one respect, SArA mArtiNEz DE oSAbA has it easier than many people of color in Vermont — that is, until she opens her mouth and speaks her mind. “Even though my skin is light brown, I can blend in sometimes,” says Martinez de Osaba, the daughter of a Peruvian mother and Spanish father. “But when I hear things that are offensive and I say something, people know, ‘Oh! She’s not one of us.’” Martinez de Osaba serves as a diversity outreach specialist for AmeriCorps, working primarily with families of color in Burlington’s Old North End. She moved to Vermont six years ago from East Oakland, where the homicide rate was two people per week. “Life being so cheap was taking a toll on me,” she says. “I didn’t want to raise a child in a place where that was normal.” Still, Martinez de Osaba says the same degree of hopelessness she saw plaguing low-income families in Oakland is also evident among multigenerational Vermonters in the Old North End. “My work is to connect with those families and teach them that they do play a huge role in their children’s lives,” she says. “In some ways, it’s been easier working with the immigrant families, because they don’t have nine generations of being told, ‘No, you’re not part of the system.’” As with Khadka and Neupane, much of Martinez de Osaba’s work falls outside

Wii Can Do It Learning to play Nintendo at the Champlain Senior Center B Y L AUREN OBER

ob Fountain is teaching me to walk the line. It doesn’t involve any actual ambulation. I can walk the line from a sitting position if I choose. What it does involve is clicking this confounding white controller that is leashed to my wrist until my bobble-headed video game avatar moves to the extreme right-hand gutter. See, Fountain is teaching me how to play Wii Bowling. As I am learning, “walking the line” is bowling speak for tossing the ball down the lane so it ﬂirts with the gutter but doesn’t actually fall in. Fountain is a good sport about his task. At 71 years old, he probably doesn’t want to spend his twilight years teaching me, an avowed video-game negativist, to play Nintendo. But I asked him to tutor me on the ﬁner aspects of the Wii and he kindly obliged. Fountain is one of a handful of older folks at Burlington’s Champlain Senior Center who plays Wii Sports. About a year ago, the center bought a Wii gaming console. Executive Director Holly Sullivan says the management thought it might be a way for seniors to learn

use Wii primarily for its sports games. Golf, tennis and, of course, bowling are popular applications. Every skeptic about Wii Sports asks the same smug question: Why don’t you just go Bob Fountain and Sue Shepard to a bowling alley or a golf course and do these sports for real? I was one of those naysayers, until I got the remote in my hand. And until I met Fountain, who recently walnut where a wedding band would be had his knee replaced and isn’t really in if he weren’t divorced.

some new skills and get exercise, albeit minimal, at the same time. Understandably, Sullivan adds, it’s been slow to catch on. Most of the elders who use the center seem content to follow “Sit and Be Fit” tapes for their exercise. Plus, video games can be intimidating, even for those of us who came of age with Atari, Nintendo and Sega. But for seniors with mobility issues, or who might be too advanced in years to sprint around a tennis court, Wii Sports is the perfect way to stay moving, says Sullivan. She’s a proponent of offering seniors a variety of activities, from computer classes to mosaic making, that help keep them spry. Not only is Wii good for them physically, she says, it’s good for their brains as well. “Learning new skills is really important as you get older,” Sullivan says. “Wii keeps your cognitive level functioning, and it’s a lot of fun.” For the uninitiated: Wii is a wireless video-game console made by Nintendo. It stands out for its use of a remote control that has built-in accelerometers and infrared detection to allow users to control the movement of their virtual standins by swinging, batting or chopping rather than just pressing keys or using a joystick.

league. This means that not only will I lose, but I will lose badly. It takes me a few frames to ﬁgure out how fast to move the remote and when to press which buttons. But soon it seems I’m getting the hang of it. Fountain keep throwing encouragement my way, especially when my ego gets the best of me. “With time, the faster you’ll get,” he says after I manage to throw the virtual ball 5 feet in the air

running the senior computer class in the room next door pulls the door shut because of my noise. I’m sorry, but I just went from 14 over par to three over, and I lost to Fountain by just one stroke. I have a right to get rowdy. Our Wii sesh is interrupted by the aforementioned exercise video. Fountain and five older women sit in chairs, flexing their fingers and twisting their torsos to the beat of the vintage tape. Fountain and I make a date for Wii tennis, which he tells me is the hardest of all of the sports. When I return, I have to pry Fountain away from the Thomas Kinkade jigsaw puzzle he’s working on. When he turns Wii Tennis on, I realize I’m out of my depth. Now I have to hit a ball that’s coming at me. This is not easy. Fountain has a mean topspin. Soon the virtual me is falling over and hitting spectators with the ball. A few curious seniors pop into the rec room to see what all the commotion is. Don’t worry. It’s just the sound of me getting annihilated. No cause for alarm, I want to tell them. Fountain keeps encouraging me to hit the ball with more finesse and less power, but somehow I can’t find the middle ground. Tennis was never my game in real life, and it’s definitely not my jam in the electronic realm. We end our video-game play date with a little Wii Bowling. It’s a psychic salve for my wounded ego. After nine frames of walking the line and winding them in, I prevail, 139 to 138. I pump my fist in the air and shout a few obnoxious yeses. Fountain is unimpressed. “You may think you’ve got it,” he says, “but you haven’t yet.” 

I can feel my bowling-champion grandmother in heaven smarting at my defeat. After our game, the Wii console advises us to take a break. “They don’t want you to throw your arm out,” Fountain jokes. Next up is Wii Golf. For this I have to stand, even though Bob is perfectly capable of taking a full swing sitting in his chair, barely moving his arms. Requiring somewhat more thought and movement than bowling, this Wii sport turns out to be a little more my speed. We start on the beginner three-hole course, where I promptly find myself five over par. I somehow hook the ball directly into a water hazard, which earns me a one-stroke penalty. When I get to six over par, the Wii encourages me to give up. “You’ll learn how to finesse it,” Fountain says encouragingly. In our first game, I end up 14 over par, a score that would make a respectable golfer commit hara-kiri on the green. Fountain makes par. “People think it’s really easy, but it’s not,” he says in consolation. I agree. If you have ever played these sports in real life, which I have, it’s hard to disabuse your body of the muscle memory you’ve stored for each sport. Every golf stroke of mine is more like a real swing than the subtle motion the game requires. But slowly I’m getting it. We play a few more rounds of golf, and at the end of our session, I’m a regular virtual Annika Sorenstam, minus the millions in sponsorship dollars. On the last hole, I chip the ball straight Wii Bowling into the cup and jump up and down with excitement. The man

before it drops on the alley and limps toward the pins. “It’s just like walking or riding a bike.” While Fountain is racking up strike after strike, using a series of sneaky hook shots, I am struggling to get a spare. Finally, in the sixth frame of nine, I get a strike. “You’re doing pretty good for an amateur,” Fountain coos. After my ﬁrst strike, I get a little cocky. I’m trying shots with spin and walking the line with aplomb. I swing my arm out, press the button and preen a bit about my good form. “This is going to be a good shot,” I say. “No, it ain’t,” Fountain counters. My ﬁrst foray into Wii Bowling comes to a demoralizing conclusion — 167 to 148 in favor of Fountain.

Composing Himself Michael Chorney steps into the spotlight with a new sextet BY D AN BO L L E S

“

ou know that story about Bon Iver?” asks Michael Chorney, tending to a dented, ﬂame-scorched stove-top percolator in the kitchen of his Lincoln home. “About how he [singersongwriter Justin Vernon] went to a cabin in the woods for three months and recorded that album [For Emma, Forever Ago]? Well, I was talking to a friend of mine recently who pointed out that that’s what I’ve been doing for, like, the last 15 years.” Chorney chuckles as he turns off the gas stove and pours the coffee into a pair of chipped mugs. “And I guess I have,” he muses. Chorney shuffles over to the corner of the room and places the mugs on a table beside several scattered piles of sheet music — all handwritten. Outside, visible through two ﬂoor-to-ceiling windows framing the table, a handmade wooden footbridge spans a stream that cuts through his heavily wooded backyard behind the far wall of the patchwork house — a cabin, really. Given the rustic surroundings, it’s not hard to imagine Chorney huddled over this very table into the wee hours, intently crafting his next piece — maybe by the light of an oil lamp? — and oblivious to the outside world. But, unlike Justin Vernon, Michael Chorney works and lives this way all the time. Simply. I mean, dude doesn’t even have a cellphone.

Chorney, 49, is among Vermont’s most proliﬁc and innovative musicians — he’s a performer (on saxophone and “prepared” guitar), composer and arranger. Since the dissolution of his pioneering local acid-jazz ensemble viperHouse nearly a decade ago — and a stint with his shortlived but acclaimed follow-up, Orchid — he has produced a dizzying volume of work in, or for, various ensembles. Whether offering cosmic tributes to Sun Ra and others with chamber-jazz sextet Magic City, howling at the moon with mountainblues auteur Seth Eames, exploring the outer limits of improv with Ensemble V, or crafting suites based on the work of such luminaries as Kurt Weill and Paul Bowles, Chorney leaves a distinctive mark on everything he touches. Yet he rarely, if ever, claims the spotlight for himself. That all changes this Friday when he unveils his latest creation, the Michael Chorney Sextet, at the FlynnSpace. It’s the ﬁrst of Chorney’s numerous ensembles to bear his name. The group

the 1970s,” he notes — to play a few cuts from the Hadestown sessions. He then puts on a rough recording of the new sextet from a recent rehearsal. It sounds … rather like Hadestown. “And it should!” Chorney says, beaming. He gleaned a lot from the Hadestown experience, he says, particularly with regard to voicing horns and strings. It also left the guitarist “enamored” of improvised material using acoustic instruments. He makes no bones about the fact that the new material evokes shades of Mitchell’s folk opera. But perceptive listeners will also notice touches of Weill, Bowles and Sun Ra. And maybe Neil Young. Oh, and Michael Chorney. While these new pieces are unquestionably a product of his recent experiences, Chorney says they’ve given him the freedom to, well, be himself. Rather than shying away from themes explored in earlier efforts, he embraces them, indulging ideas from previous projects that he either left on the cutting-room ﬂoor because they didn’t ﬁt, or never fully realized. Almost paradoxically, given the prominence of themes from Chorney’s collaborative work, the Michael Chorney Sextet may be his most personal expression yet. Or, as he puts it with typical understatement, “There’s really no epic story here. This is just music I wrote.” 

“My friends are asking me what kind of music this is,” he says, taking a sip of coffee. “But I don’t know what to tell them. I don’t know, either. It’s just … music.” Chorney began to develop the idea for his latest material while wrapping up his work arranging and recording the score for Hadestown. (That starstudded disc — which includes Vernon of the aforementioned Bon Iver — will be released early next year on Righteous Babe Records.) The project occupied Chorney for more than two years, along with his interpretations of Weill, Bowles and others. It had been several years, he realized, since he’d directed his energy toward creating his own original music. And he hadn’t written without a speciﬁc concept in mind for just as long. Which poses the question: Just what is the concept for his new work? “The concept is that there is no concept,” Chorney says with a grin. “I’ve been trying to do the same thing for years,” he continues, noting that writing without a particular goal has been liberating. “When I’m writing instrumental music, I set out to see if I can write music that can evoke some of the quality of song, but without words,” he explains — sort of. To illustrate his point, Chorney moves to the stereo and cuts short Karen Dalton’s anguished croon — “Lately I’ve had a thing for tragic female singers from

comprises a number of old friends — bassist Rob Morse, drummer PJ Davidian, trumpeter Brian Boyes and cellist Polly Vanderputten — as well as a fresh face, violinist Sonia Hsieh. Hsieh is a student of Chorney’s at Middlebury College, where he is the music director of the school’s dance program. The FlynnSpace performance will introduce 11 new compositions created over the last nine months. The project was financed with a new works grant from the Vermont Community Foundation. Few musicians are as intimately familiar with the scope of Chorney’s work as Vanderputten, who collaborated with him on a variety of projects, including Ensemble V, Magic City and Anaïs Mitchell’s folk opera Hadestown. “Michael’s personality always comes through very strongly in his work,” she says. “He has a gentle quality in his music.” Vanderputten describes Chorney’s latest venture simply, but reverentially, as “lyrical.” And she notes a couple of influences that may surprise: 1960s Italian cinema and 1970s Neil Young. “But all of it is colored by his own inventiveness,” Vanderputten says. “I think he’s brilliant.” Now seated at the table by the window, the mild-mannered Chorney grows visibly excited when talking about his new project. He just can’t define it, exactly.

‘Word’ Up WordStage launches a new season with smart and sassy fare B Y El iSABEt h cr EAN

Same scandals, different centuries. The passions and motivations remain constant — love, lust, dreams, disappointments. WordStage productions simply “put them in historical context,” Tavcar suggests. Audiences “got excited not only about the life stories of these people, but because there’s so much music one can connect to them that’s so beautiful.” Inspiration for the original scripts often comes from “my own nosy interest in other people’s lives,” Tavcar admits. Ideas sometimes spark when he stumbles across tantalizing tidbits, such as the fact that Parker and other members of her clique spent many summers in Vermont in the 1920s. Writer Alexander Woollcott bought property on Neshobe Island, in Lake Bomoseen, “and started inviting the Algonquin group up there for fun and frolic,” Tavcar recounts. The relatively modern subject matter for WordStage’s final production has given him an unusual research opportunity. A friend introduced Tavcar to a “lady of a certain age — which is somewhere in the nineties — who was there at the time,” he shares. “I’m going to interview her for some real inside dirt.” One detail she has already,

hearty laugh. The topic presents a wealth of musical choices. Tavcar hasn’t yet discovered whether George and Ira Gershwin or the other composers associated with the Round Table traveled to Neshobe. “But their shows were all reviewed by Parker or Woollcott. So most of the music is going to be of the Jazz Age … Gershwin and Berlin and Jerome Kern,” he says. For text, Tavcar plans to keep narration to a minimum and use the writers’ own words, “which are, of course, so wonderful and witty,” he notes. With six actors, a jazz trio and at least one vocalist, At Wit’s End will be the largestscale WordStage production to date. The central Vermont musicians who regularly perform with Tavcar provide another starting point for developing scripts. “Usually the music comes first,” Tavcar explains. “Then I tailor the narration or the text around the music.” Letters and diaries provide especially rich source material to support and connect the musical elements. “More often than not, it’s not a stretch to match … what the artists tim tAV c A r are interested in playing and what was actually performed at the time,” he says. Tavcar recently came across an intriguing tome detailing the history of six Stradivarius instruments — four violins and two cellos. In brainstorming with colleagues, he found that cellist Michael Close and pianist Eliza Thomas were working on pieces that fit well with telling the tempestuous story of the instrument now played by Yo-Yo Ma — Stradivari and the “Davidov” Cello. Karl Davidov, a 19th-century Russian

whom Tavcar says was “the Paganini of cellists,” beat out Tchaikovsky for a plum job heading a music conservatory, and then promptly lost it over a sordid affair with a student. “He was a very colorful character,” Tavcar relates. “And virtually died on stage playing a Beethoven sonata, which Michael is going to be playing.” Minus the whole dying thing, he hastens to add. Musicians and actors have participated enthusiastically in WordStage productions from the start. “I have this cadre of people now that form sort of an ad hoc company,” Tavcar says. “I run things by them and say, ‘Would you be interested in…?’ And most of the time they are, if their schedule permits.” One member of the ensemble is actor G. Richard Ames, who appears in this weekend’s Entertainment. The busy Burlington performer says he enjoys working with WordStage for both artistic and practical reasons. “It’s generally headier material,” Ames notes. The core of the Sun King program — Molière’s one-act The Ridiculous Damsels — is “not something I would probably encounter in community theater or semi-professional theater anywhere … even in translation,” he says. For Ames, another benefit of the stagedreading format is that he doesn’t have to commit more dialogue to memory. “At my age, nearing 40, I have all these lines in my head,” he reflects. “And so it’s nice not to have to memorize them, but to have fun doing it. And to realize that all those lines are not going to stay in my head the rest of my life.” m An Entertainment at the Court of the Sun King, written, directed and produced by Tim Tavcar. T.W.

ttendance stats as low as zero — that’s as rocky a start as any performing arts group could have. Montpelier’s Tim Tavcar faced this two years ago when he founded WordStage, which brings together chamber music and staged readings around literary and historical themes. Audiences have warmed to Tavcar’s innovative scripts, however, and four shows are slated for the group’s third season. It kicks off this weekend with An Entertainment at the Court of the Sun King, which celebrates how the monarch known for his love of power — Louis XIV — also loved art. This year’s eclectic programming mix begins in 17th-century France with Molière’s cutting comedy and Lully’s kicky keyboard music, and ends next May in the American Jazz Age with Dorothy Parker’s catty, chatty crew, the infamous group of writers, wags and critics who made up New York’s Algonquin Round Table. In between come Stradivari and the “Davidov” Cello, in December, and Proust in Love, in March. Reflecting on his initial empty houses, Tavcar surmises that people may have thought of WordStage as “some academic exercise, and very pedagogical,” he says. “But really, it’s like the National Enquirer, because these people all led outrageous lives. And the outrageousness of their lives is the same outrageousness as people lead today.”

urrounded by moving boxes, I tugged open a closet door and let out a groan. Behind the board games, DVDs and puzzle books sat six hefty piles of food magazines, lightly dusted and forgotten since I moved in two years before. Owning them makes me feel like I have the culinary world at my fingertips, but relocating them? That’s a bitch. The hoarder in me refuses to get rid of volumes that could contain hidden treasures — now that Gourmet is defunct, those are keepers, for sure — but I knew I wasn’t wedded to every page. The recommendations in 8-year-old issues of Wine Enthusiast could no longer be trusted. Cooking Light offered more info about burning calories than consuming them. So I grabbed a pair of scissors and got to work deciding which recipes made the, um, cut. The good stuff went into a shoebox that was already buckling under the weight of index cards bearing recipes for Bananas and Papayas Foster and Thai Basil Chicken Salad, an envelope scrawled with the method for preparing a German chocolate cake, and a slew of items from the King Arthur Flour and Williams-Sonoma catalogues. I tried to count the recipes and gave up at 500, with the shoebox still more than half full. As I sifted through my collection, I realized its motley items had something in common: None of them were getting used. The world’s best roasted-redpepper soup might be buried there and nobody would ever know. It was time for some serious recipe management. Years ago, I created an Excel spreadsheet using my own nontraditional categories, formatted so each recipe had its own virtual “card.” But it was still tough to find exactly what I was looking for. Given that my current cellphone can

perform more functions than did my computer back then, I concluded there must be a better way. Before taking a new tack, though, I decided to ask some of my foodie Facebook friends how they keep their cooking under control. I found that, while my pack-rat problem is common, its solutions are as varied as the cooks.

t Martha Trombley Oakes’ bridal shower a decade ago, guests gave her handwritten copies of their favorite recipes. Her mother-in-law regularly mails clippings from magazines and newspapers, as well as methods for making dishes that Oakes’ husband, Shane, enjoyed as a child. Now the director of corporate and community relations at National Life in Montpelier, Oakes admits she had issues with the haphazard way the recipes were presented to her. “I’m pretty organized in every aspect of my life. It’s a little obsessive,” she admits. “Quite honestly, it drove me crazy at first, because they were on all different sorts of note cards.” But when she sat down to get the recipes organized once and for all, she found their personalized quality charming. “I realized I wanted to preserve the way I originally received the recipe, because I think it tells so much of the story,” says Oakes. Her solution? Buying photo albums and slipping recipe cards in the picture slots. “I took the time to go through and evaluate which recipes were my favorites and which ones I’d never use,” she notes. The ones that made the grade are divided by course — appetizer, soup, side dish, main dish, etc. — with favorites placed at the front of each section. Oakes now has two binders stuffed with recipes she knows she’ll actually make, and she exercises restraint in

When I moved from place to place, it was really unmanageable,” she says. Although she describes her usual modus operandi as “Why file when you can pile,” about five years ago Ravlin decided she “had to come up with a system.” She began with the single-binder method employed by her mother, but found it “really cumbersome. You couldn’t find a recipe quickly.” Ravlin’s modified system consists of four 3-inch binders that contain “tried and proven” recipes supplemented with handwritten notes and organized like Oakes’ albums. She also has eight additional binders filled with recipes she has yet to make. “I think the oldest recipe I haven’t even tried yet dates back to 1992,” she admits with a chuckle.

The former site of Smokejacks on Church and Main streets in Burlington has stood empty since October 2008, but that’s not because nobody is keen on the space. According to LARRY BOHEN, who owns the building, “I have had offers throughout the year, and for one reason or another I haven’t accepted an offer. I accepted one, but returned the guy’s deposit because I decided he wasn’t the right operator for the space.” Now, though, Bohen is in talks with a group of people who “would be very acceptable to me … They have done a tremendous amount of research and financial analysis and networking.” If all goes well, he guesses, a lease could be in the works within a month. “I’m expecting them to make an offer soon,” he says. Bohen elaborates, “We met last week with a company that they’re getting a quote from on creating the kitchen. Right now, the kitchen’s pretty bare. There’s equipment that needs to be fixed.” If it all works out, what kind of eatery would fill the space? “From what I know, this would be a Smokejacks, plus,” Bohen says. “We know that Smokejacks was very successful on some levels, and this particular group would be continuing the localvore model with highend food.” — S.P.

hen you’re the hands-on owner of two restaurants, it can be hard to find time to sleep. “I work 16, 17, 18 hours a day,” says Sam Lai, proprietor of two North Street eateries: newcomer One Pepper Grill and China Express, where he’s also the head chef. “You have to have a good relationship with your wife,” he goes on. “I call the restaurant my first wife. My real wife doesn’t mind.” Lai opened One Pepper on his 31st birthday, September 28, with the help of co-owner Max Saltis, a onetime China Express delivery driver. And “hands-on” is the operative word. Sitting down for an interview, the restaurateur pats the table. “I handbuilt every table here,” he says. “The benches, I did the leather.” Lai declares, “I’m a big eater. I love food,” but he didn’t always plan on a career in the restaurant business. His youthful passion was for tattoos. When his father, Ping Lai, opened the first China Express on Shelburne Road in 2000, the junior Lai was in the middle of an apprenticeship in a tattoo studio. “My dad said, ‘You have to come and help me, and you’re going to be an owner,’” Lai recalls. “That’s when I tried to quit the restaurant business. I just wanted to be a regular kid and have my life and do something I love.” At age 22, Lai already had substantial professional cooking experience behind him. Native to the Fujian Province of China, his family moved to the New York area in 1988. By the time Lai was 13, he had quit school to cook in his family’s ChineseAmerican restaurants. Through his teens and early twenties, he continued to work in New York, cooking up any type of cuisine he was asked to prepare. Today, all that experience comes in handy. “I have a really good memory, so I can cook things that I haven’t cooked for years and remember exactly what I did,” says Lai.

When the Lais relocated to Vermont in 2000, they opened the Shelburne Road China Express while maintaining two stores called Hong Am in New Jersey. But they focused their energies on Burlington when business in the New York-New Jersey area plunged following the 2001 terrorist attacks. And Sam Lai, who often alludes to his love for his “folks,” ended up doing his familial duty. But that didn’t stop him from following his first love: Lai opened Cherry Street Tattoo in Burlington in 2005. Despite the prime location, however, he says he quickly realized it was difficult to find properly trained employees who would draw customers: “You don’t need a good spot for a tattoo place; you need good artists.” Today, he considers the failure a learning experience, saying, “At least I

sweet, classic American burger. A topping of sauce au poivre on the One Pepper Burger lends French flair. While a few diners have taken issue with Lai’s use of frozen burgers, he insists the meat is easier to marinate in this form. But the fresh steak fries on the side are hand cut — and unlike those anywhere else. Using original recipes and flavor combinations was a calculated risk, says Lai, who acknowledges, “It’s very hard to win people’s hearts when you’re doing something new.” So far, the gambit has paid off. Just a month in, the restaurateur says, “We’re ... not having problems paying our bills, and that’s great.” His distribution of 99-cent burger coupons at local colleges certainly helped bring in patrons. Lai says he’s seen several students transition from using scrounged coupons to paying full price. And he’s encouraged to see “a lot of repeat customers,” Lai says. “I pour more of my heart in it so people can afford to come in three times a week instead of one.” To stimulate lunch business, Lai keeps a grab-and-go cooler stocked with sandwiches, salads, drinks and Cheesecake Factory slices in flavors such as double chocolate and dulce de leche. Homemade cookies, brownies and cornbread wait in a basket by the bar. Next month, Lai will add another quick option: sushi. Before opening One Pepper, he had considered starting a full sushi bar in the space, but he was concerned about the high cost of labor. So he’s starting a smaller venture called Sushi Express, housed inside China Express. The creative and traditional rolls and nigiri will be available in the One Pepper case, too. Sushi Express will offer vegetarian options as well as soups, salads and una don. Original dishes will include the Queen City roll, composed of eel, avocado, cucumber and crabstick; and the Vermont roll, featuring salmon, apple and maple syrup. One day, Lai hopes to leave One Pepper entirely to Saltis, a 25-year-old former UVM engineering student. Like Lai, whom Saltis calls “my mentor and my best friend, even a father figure at times,” the younger man came to a later realization that food was what made him happiest. He switched his major to entrepreneurship and now calls himself “the mayonnaise to Sam’s sandwich,” helping to carry out Lai’s big plans, from legal work to managing the eatery. Affordable steaks and make-your-own stirfries may keep customers coming back to One Pepper, but Lai says that he has a dream “to create something big.” He has yet to define that plate, but hopes it will be an icon of his adopted home state. “I want to come out with a uniquely Vermont dish that people can be proud of, like a local baseball team,” Lai says passionately. “I want people to feel proud of the state when they eat it.” Say, maki with maple syrup? Time will tell. m

made it happen. Most people never get to go for their dreams.” By 2006, when Lai debuted his first North Street restaurant, he had accepted his path and realized that beauty can be edible. “Cooking is fun for me; it’s not just cooking,” he says. “I’m an artist.” His newest venture, One Pepper, is on the site of the former vegan eatery New Ethic Café, which closed early this year. Lai owned the property, but the café’s mastermind and manager was Owen Hoppe, who used to work for him at China Express. Lai’s concept for One Pepper Grill would make his former vegan partner blush. Noting that “the economy sucks right now” and “people need to catch a break,” he offers affordable beef, including steaks in the $14 to $15 range. The chef first ages each ribeye for 30 days in the cooler at China Express, then marinates them overnight in his secret Chinese-inflected garlic, ginger and soy potion. The result is a well-marbled, butter-tender slab of beef that barely requires a knife. The earthy and slightly sweet marinade is addictive. Topped with some zesty tomatillo-andcilantro salsa verde, and it is fusion at its most successful. The steak-on-a-stick appetizer boasts the same tender meat, scented with curry and accompanied by Thai peanut sauce. Such combinations represent Lai himself, who explains, “Growing up in Jersey and New York, I knew a lot of Hispanic people.” Lai’s native tongue is Fukienese, but he also speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, English and Spanish. In fact, he says he learned Spanish before English, becoming fluent in the latter only after moving to Vermont. Nowadays, Lai speaks with barely an accent. “I’m a big talker,” he says. “Customers used to come to Shelburne Road just to talk, but they always ended up ordering something.” He’s a great listener, too, and laughs easily. Hanging out with Latino friends in the city, Lai learned to love their cuisines, and One Pepper has a decidedly southof-the-border influence. The “Mexicana” section of the menu boasts a collection of soft tacos and 1-pound burritos. The salsa verde tastes authentic, as do the grilled plantains and lightly seasoned rice and black beans that accompany the steak. Lai hopes eventually to open a truly international restaurant in Burlington. “In Tokyo, 50 percent of restaurants are fusion. In New York, there’s a lot like that, too,” he says. For now, Lai is pleased to be serving affordable meals, though he maintains, “People are getting higher-end food here for the price.” The American aspect of the fusion menu is represented in One Pepper’s large selection of burgers. Lai gets the patties frozen and soaks them for an hour and a half in the same marinade used for the steaks. The light flavoring doesn’t so much recall China as an ambrosial, very slightly

is important. So is avoiding plagiarism. Even if you’ve tweaked an ingredient here or there, recipes should be credited to their original writers.

s cool as it is to keep funky, handwritten recipe cards, I hadn’t yet found what I really needed: an easily searchable database that could be customized to match the way I think. So I downloaded trial versions of two programs: MacGourmet and SousChef. Each had its quirks. The possible ingredients in MacGourmet included “a pod of garlic,” “zesty diced tomatoes,” “fresh figs grinded” and the exuberant “**STREUSEL**.” The roster of kitchen equipment left out the common cheese grater, but offered a “stir-fry scoopy.” Being able to classify recipes by ethnicity is useful, but certain countries were absent, and at least one was misspelled — Ethopia [sic]. SousChef was more user friendly, and includes the fun option of having the computer read recipes aloud as you whip and stir. There I located instructions, written entirely in German, for making Kirgisische Festtagssuppe. Thanks to Google translator, I now know it’s a festive soup from Kyrgyzstan that calls for horse flank and horse casings, sheep liver and pferdedickdärme (horse colon). With the push of a button, I turned that recipe into a shopping list and emailed it to myself. Now I won’t forget to pick up half an ounce of grüne petersilie knoblauchzwiebel — whatever that is — next time I’m at the store. MacGourmet and SousChef provided some laughs, and both have their uses, but I was seeking something more flexible. On the recommendation of a friend, I downloaded a general database program called Bento. While not specifically designed to hold recipes, the software offered much of what I was looking for. I was able to create my own list of ingredients (no pods of garlic here), define cuisines, including “Native American” and “Vermont,” and designate recipes as vegetarian, dairy free, localvore or perfect for holidays. I can find anything I need with the click of a button. After transferring 468 recipes from my old Excel spreadsheet into Bento, I’m convinced it’s how I’ll keep a handle on my cookery from now on. (I’ll supplement it with the services of Eatyourbooks.com, which indexes the recipes already bound in my cookbooks.) With my bloated shoebox by my side, I’ve got my work cut out for me. I’ve still got a few big boxes of cooking magazines kicking around, but next time I move, the several thousand recipes I’ll have moved into Bento won’t weigh a thing. m

f you ever needed proof that success can be bittersweet, just ask Blind Pilot of Portland, Ore. The band has been touring relentlessly since 2006, canvassing the West Coast several times over … on bicycles. But as their debut album 3 Rounds and a Sound began to attract national acclaim and the chamber-pop duo grew to a six-piece, they found themselves playing larger and larger stages alongside such notable folks as Andrew Bird and The Decemberists. The time came to put away childish things, which for these cycling enthusiasts meant trading in two wheels for four. At least for now. In advance of their upcoming performance at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge, Seven Days caught up with Blind Pilot drummer and cofounder Ryan Dobrowski by phone from a rest stop in Texas where the band was — sigh — gassing up the van.

RD: I think so. There’s that sense of not wanting to do things in certain ways that the music industry is set up [for]. We want to continue touring as much as possible, but we want to keep it exciting and enjoyable for all of us. So, after we get the next album recorded, I think we’re planning on doing another bike tour between the time that the album is ﬁnished and when it is actually released.

SEVEN DAYS: Now that Blind Pilot are touring by more conventional means, do you ﬁnd yourself missing the old bike-touring days? RYAN DOBROWSKI: Oh, sure. That was part of the initial reason we started this whole project. I mean, not the whole reason, but a big part. And while we’re really excited that people all over the place want to hear the music and we’re able to just tour, I think spending a day riding bikes is a lot more enjoyable than sitting in a van.

SD: Back in the day, you used to play with some of the guys from Starfucker. So, were you as bummed as I was that they changed their name to Pyramiddd? RD: [laughs] Well, I think it’s funny more than anything. Because Josh [Hodges, Starfucker/Pyramiddd] for the longest time was so anti-mainstream and always in search of “anti-success,” in a way. He really wanted the music to stay pure. So, yeah, it makes sense to me. But it’s more comical than anything, knowing who Josh is and that all of those things are a lot easier to say when you’re in that position. But as soon as someone waves some money in your face, then your ideas

SD: Did those experiences shape what the band has become?

SD: You are now touring as a sixpiece. Is it challenging to rearrange the songs for a larger ensemble? RD: Not really. That’s one of the most exciting things. The way we had originally structured [the songs] to work was just guitar and drums. But the other players are really mindful of that. And it’s been exciting to see the way the songs change. But the core is good enough that it doesn’t just sound like a mess of instruments onstage.

of what is right and wrong change all of a sudden. SD: I did think it was kinda funny that they changed their name, and then you started hearing them in Target ads on TV. RD: Yeah. SD: Well, we all gotta eat, right? RD: Yeah, we do. Did they change it to Pyramiddd? That’s a good name. SD: It’s all right, I guess. And there was another Starfucker. RD: I would think there would be a few other “pyramids,” too. It seems like there are bands with every name out there … There was another Blind Pilot in England for awhile. They recently changed their name, though. SD: Really? How did that work? RD: It was sort of funny. We almost didn’t go with the name … But between that ﬁrst tour and releasing 3 Rounds and a Sound, all these other Blind Pilots had popped up on MySpace, which was a little discouraging. So we were considering changing our name. But it seemed like a foolish thing in the end … Even though it might not have been the best name in the world, it was our band name and that’s what it was. And now all of the other Blind Pilots have disappeared, I guess. SD: Well, you could always just change it to Starfucker. RD: [laughs] That’s true! That’s available now. 

Flying Blind

As you may have inferred by the fact that my interview with BLIND PILOT drummer RYAN DOBROWSKI — a really nice dude, by the way — appears on the front page of the music section this week, I’m kind of excited for the band’s show at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this Friday. In fact, I’ve had their debut disc, 3 Rounds and a Sound, pretty much on constant repeat for the last two weeks. Regular readers know that I’m a sucker for indie folk’s more sophisticated cousin, chamber folk. And that record has fairly well stated my desire for melodydriven, melancholy pop of late. Seriously, it’s among my favorite albums of the year. And, yes, it really is time to start thinking about “best of” stuff for 2009. What’s worse, it’s also time to start thinking about superlatives for the decade. Where did the oughts go? The other reason — I can’t quite say the real reason, but it’s close — I’m excited for the show, is because it features someone many of you should already be familiar with: opening act LAURA VEIRS & THE HALL OF FLAMES. Great band name, by the way. The last we saw Ms. Veirs, she was, by a number of accounts, stealing the show on the Flynn MainStage back in September, in support of everyone’s favorite haughty litrockers, THE DECEMBERISTS. And that’s saying something, as COLIN MELOY and Co. were excellent. And that’s also saying something, as their latest effort, The Crane Wife, probably makes my year-end “worst of” list. Or at least my “most disappointed with” list. But I digress. I have to admit I was a little late to the party that night and only caught the tail end of Veirs’ set. But the buzz surrounding her performance was legit. As is the hubbub over her forthcoming record, July Flame, which features contributions from one of my favorite tragically underappreciated artists, KARL BLAU. Trust me, you want to catch this show, and you want to get there early. And if you don’t believe me, check out the two free tracks available through Veirs’ website, lauraveirs.com. You’re welcome.

whippersnappers: It will happen to you too, I promise.) Of course, this doesn’t mean that the music itself is lame. Fret not, aging hipsters, BUILT TO SPILL still rule. But dated and lame are how our favorite tunes are sure to be perceived by our kids. It happens with every generation. I think it’s a rule, in fact. What will our kids be listening to instead? I have no idea. (Please, God. Just don’t let it be dub-step.) But they will think what we listen to blows. At least until they grow up a little and eventually come to appreciate it. This is also a rule. But until then, what in the name of DOUG MARTSCH are we to do? The answer — to borrow a line from a song I hated as a kid because my parents loved it, but I now can’t listen to without breaking into tears for reasons I couldn’t possibly explain here — is this: Teach your children. This Sunday, Montpelier’s Lamb Abbey plays host to a group called THE GLORY MONTESSORI, helmed by local songwriter KRIS GRUEN. Posters for the show bill it as “a kid-friendly indie-rock concert benefiting the Montessori School of Central VT.” And on the surface, that’s exactly what it is. Digging a little deeper, we discover the project comprises a new batch of tunes penned by Gruen, recalling his childhood days at the school — which his daughter now attends. You see where I’m going with this? Good. The nine-piece band is made up entirely of Montessori parents, including THE NEW YEAR’s MIKE DONOFRIO. Additionally, the show will feature an opening performance by a duo that I’m not supposed to tell you about, but really wish I could because it’s excellent. Added to that, there will also be a “guided interpretive painting” session — for the kids! — during the show. And also, a bake sale … how indie is that?

over LADY GAGA’s “Just Dance.” But if you want my dark-horse pick, I think TAYLOR SWIFT’s “You Belong With Me” pulls out the upset late. I’m giving 4-1 odds. Speaking of gambling, remember last week when I went on a rant about the evils of gambling and the Rock Lotto at the Monkey House? Well, judging by the fact that there is another, completely unrelated Rock Lotto at the Lamb Abbey this Saturday, it seems you folks aren’t heeding my advice. Don’t say you weren’t warned. And, as always, play (music) responsibly.

The Vacant Lots

Staying in the capital city, Montpelier finally gets a chance to see what all the fuss over THE VACANT LOTS has been about when the garage-psych duo makes its Golden Dome debut at the Langdon Street Café this Friday. They will also get a taste of B-town-esque covers, as there is a rare door charge at LSC for this one. But trust

me, Montpeculiarians, the Lots are worth it. What’s more, they’ll be joined by a brandspankin’-new hometown outfit playing its first gig, SWEET HOUND. Best wishes to local online radio station WBKM.org, which enters its terrible twos in grand style with a birthday bash at Nectar’s this Thursday, November 12, featuring their acclaimed house band, THE BOOK ’EM BLUES BAND, THE KIND BUDS (see review on page 46) and WILL DAILEY. Irony of the week: Newish local, live electronica outfit DURIANS have a show at Parima this Saturday … in the Acoustic Lounge. Last but not least, GORDON STONE has a couple of very special — even for him — performances coming up. This Saturday, the Vermont Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts present The Sacred Forest at Burlington’s First Congregational Church. The show features the music of Stone’s latest album, Night Shade, reinterpreted by Senegalese choreographer ELHADJI MAMADOU BA of Les Ballets Africaines de Sangomar. Using Stone’s music, Ba weaves song and dance into a dramatic tale of demonic possession and, ultimately, redemption — thanks to the guidance of a powerful shaman, no less. And here I thought Night Shade was just a killer album. Turns out it can perform exorcisms, too. The Sacred Forest will also be presented at the Barre Opera House on Saturday, November 21. 

Bite Torrent The Jazz Guys do Beyoncé

Imperfect From Now On

Speaking of indie music, it dawned on me the other day that we’re about to see a curious — albeit predictable — phenomenon unfold. Namely, that folks of a certain age who have been weaned on the last two decades or so of indie rock are starting to have kids. Hell, many of them already do. But that’s not the news flash. What’s interesting is that this development sounds the alarm that the music with which this column’s chief demographic has grown up is about to become unequivocally, irrevocably lame. We are, it seems, getting old. (Note to

Monster Energy presents:

Justin Levinson, Predetermined Fate (OUTTAKE RECORDS , CD)

46 MUSIC

SEVEN DAYS

11.11.09-11.18.09

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

In reviews of Justin Levinson’s first two albums, 1175 Boylston (2006) and Bury Your Love (2007), two separate Seven Days scribes (freelancer Brian Murphy and this writer) 16 and over welcome, under 16 with parent or guardian came to nearly identical Don’t miss Badfish on Saturday Dec 5! conclusions regarding the Vergennes-born, Berkleetrained songwriter’s music. Tickets: 422.3035 or Namely, that while he www.picklebarrelnightclub.com possesses an abundance Killington Road, Killington of technical ability and myspace.com/picklebarrel polish, his songwriting lacks — to paraphrase both writers — cojones. With his 12v-picklebarrel111109.indd 1 11/9/09 11:58:39 AMlatest effort, Predetermined Fate, Levinson presumably sets out to prove us both wrong. So, is the third time the charm, or is Levinson’s music-crit fate predet … ahem. Too cute? The answer is a little bit of both. Though he settles into a distinctly more alt-countrystyled groove than on his previous works, Levinson’s knack for letter-perfect pop hooks remains intact. And while he’s still prone to the occasional lyrical clunker, he exhibits a crafty charm sorely missing in his previous works. This is not to say Levinson has abandoned his proclivity for heart-on-sleeve wistful-cisms. On the contrary, he embraces them. “Everything Has Always Been About You” sets the lovelorn troubadour against a driving, twangy backdrop. The effect is catchy and familiar, but pleasantly so. Levinson’s thin, reedy voice seems better suited to this Golden Smog-esque aesthetic than the piano-driven power pop of earlier efforts. Further, he delivers his plaintive lyrics with a casual intensity that starkly contrasts with his previously overwrought 12v-girlington101409.indd 1 10/12/09 11:23:04 AMbut lazily uninspiring fare. “Bandaid on a Bulletwound” is next and showcases Levinson’s finest asset: composition. What begins as a slackerly, fiddle-led romp evolves into a boisterous, steel-driven sing-along at the chorus. And the dynamic shifts into and out of the bridge are something special. “Hopelessness” finds Levinson back behind the keys and comes perilously

close to revisiting the weightless folly of his earlier efforts. But it never really does. Instead, Levinson fully commits, as if to say, “This song is gonna be catchy as all hell, a little schmaltzy, even. And you’re gonna want to hate it. But you’re gonna fuckin’ love it and there’s nothing you can do about it.” I’ll be damned if he isn’t right. I can’t even call it a guilty pleasure. It is quite simply a perfectly crafted pop nugget. To be sure, the disc is not without its questionable moments. But for every predictable throwaway like “Losing You to Tennessee,” there’s a bounty of genuinely inspired tracks to be had, suggesting that Levinson has ﬁnally come into his own. Justin Levinson celebrates Predetermined Fate with a release party at Nectar’s this Friday, November 13.

The Kind Buds, All in Your Mind (SELF-RELEASED, CD)

A few months ago, a PR woman named Kitty called me, pretty much out of the blue, and talked my ear clean off about a band she was representing, The Kind Buds. If you’re a regular reader, you have probably seen the Massachusettsbased duo listed at various smaller venues around the state. They’re here fairly regularly. You may also have snickered at the impossibly hippiedippy pun that is their band name — the duo comprises two guys named Bud and, ahem, Budd. Get it? Anyway, back to Kitty. Kitty really loves “the Buds.” Like, a lot. And she really wanted me to love them, too. Over the course of our 30-plus-minute, largely

one-sided conversation, she regaled me with tales of the dynamic duo’s adventures at fests and clubs around the region and the warm reception they have received from crowds and famous people alike. I believe Phil Lesh was referenced on a few occasions. Kitty is not afraid of name-dropping. Now, if you’ve read me often enough, you’d know invoking the Dead ain’t exactly the fastest way to my critical heart. It’s not that I can’t appreciate them, because I can and do. I’m just a skeptic. Plus, Deadheads are crazy easy to make fun of and, yeah, sometimes I’m a bully like that. Anyway, back to the Buds. So it was with no small degree of trepidation that I popped their latest live effort, All in Your Mind, into my trusty CD player and began formulating just how I would tear this sucker apart. But then a funny thing happened. As it turns out, the Buds aren’t half bad. Let’s be clear: “Not half bad” really only means that they’re a shade over “half good.” But that percentage should be more than enough to sate your average acoustic-jamlovin’ barﬂy. The mix of Dead-inspired originals, Dead covers and rearranged traditionals found here — including (especially?) one track that serves as a medley of all three — boasts a breezy, happy-hour vibe that only the snarkiest of the snarky could really take exception to. While they won’t blow you away with virtuosic chops, the Buds are capable enough with their matching Taylor acoustics. And they sing with infectious enthusiasm — and a modicum of ability, to boot. Yeah, their lyrics are featherweight at best — one word: unicorns. But when you’re sitting on the deck at Breakwater sipping a daiquiri, are you looking for Nick freakin’ Drake? Nope. You want carefree vibes, man. And that’s exactly what the Buds so kindly deliver. The Kind Buds play Nectar’s this Thursday, November 12, as part of the birthday bash for online radio station WBKM — “Burlington’s Kinda Music.” If you go, tell Kitty I said hello. DAN BOLLES

Touring behind an intriguing new album, Little Moon, Phillips swings by the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge for a decidedly intimate performance.

This Thursday, Burlington’s own Angioplasty Media presents the band in the cozy confines of Winooski’s the Monkey House.

Playing With Politics Anyone can poke fun at the White House, but who better to put the “mock” in democracy than excongressional employees? In 1981, a group of Senate staffers quit their day jobs to embrace musical careers in well-founded political humor. Out of that decision came clever satirical show tunes such as “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Korea?” and “Midnight Raid to Georgia.” The expanded group, the Capitol Steps, unveils its latest spoof, Obama Mia, at the Lebanon Opera House this Sunday. Audiences on both sides of the aisle will crack up at the singing and dancing impersonations that animate the holiday treat “Baracking Around the Christmas Tree” and other numbers. Keeping up with the news has never been so entertaining.

CAPITOL STEPS Sunday, November 15, 7:30 p.m., at Lebanon Opera House in N.H. $25-45. Info, 603-448-0400. www.lebanonoperahouse.org

Nobody’s Fool When you come across a clan of clowns called the Fossil Fools who juggle bottled water and simulate polar bears dancing on melting ice, you know you’re in for more than the usual big-top spectacle. ARTFARM’s Circus for a Fragile Planet is equal parts silly and serious. Designed to send a strong environmental message without sacrificing entertainment, it stars a dotty Austrian scientist who tries to spread knowledge on issues ranging from global warming to species sustainability — but keeps getting interrupted by the physical-comedy antics of three mischievous clowns. The all-recycled props and set sweeten the statement, and a spirited musical score keeps audiences enthralled. Come for a dose of humor and ideas on building a better place to live.

CALENDAR 51

Every year, Telluride, Colo., hosts the four-day Mountainfilm Festival, an on-screen tribute to extreme outdoor sports, remarkable personal stories and the environment. Luckily, adventure chasers don’t have to travel to Colorado to catch high-caliber glimpses of the rest of the world. Since 2000, Mountainfilm presenters have taken the best of the films — ranging from five to 45 minutes in length — on the road, and Vermonters can check out the shorts in Burlington and Duxbury this week. Host Justin Clifton weaves a narrative between films such as Bjorn Enga’s Look to the Ground, about blind mountain biker Bobby McMullen, and Dan Heaton’s Revolution One, which chronicles the escapades of extreme unicyclists. Even more thrilling, each screening raises funds for local nonprofits: UVM’s Outing Club and the Waitsfield Children’s Center.

SEVEN DAYS

Sunday, November 15, 3 p.m., at Richmond Free Library. $15. Monday, November 16, 7 p.m., at Teal Farm in Huntington. $20; tickets available in advance only. Info, 434-4563.

ISSA

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

Listeners have described her as “funny, sexy and slightly alarming” and as “a might-gooff-any-moment gun.” Rolling Stone has called her “a gem ... with a fearless simplicity.” Suffice it to say that Issa, the artist formerly known as Jane Siberry, is not your average singer-songwriter. In 2006, the Canadian native dropped her established name along with her home and most possessions to follow a new path — simply because, she states, “It felt right.” Her current walk of life includes a trilogy of albums that tell what she calls a “Scheherazadian” tale of the human condition. The second installment, With What Shall I Keep Warm?, hits the airwaves this month. Keep an ear out for her newest inspirations, influenced by genres ranging from pop to New Wave to gospel.

Having Seven Days available on both the New York and Vermont sides of the lake is very important to our businesses. Recently we had to fill a management position for our hotel in Plattsburgh.

Cuba Calling

Art review: “Cuban Artists’ Books and Prints: 1985-2008”

he late 1960s movement in Italy called arte povera (literally, “poor art”) rejected traditions of elegance in favor of funky art-making that relied on ordinary, even unsightly materials. Of course, those artists were consciously choosing to use dirt, rags, leaves and similar elements rather than canvas, oil paint and all the other supplies they could have purchased at local art stores. Cuban artists don’t have the luxury of spurning pricey materials to make an aesthetic or political statement. In an economy of permanent scarcity, they must make do with whatever can be scavenged. Some of the products of this resourceful creative process — which could be termed arte pobre — can be seen in the Fleming Museum show “Cuban Artists’ Books and Prints: 1985-2008.” Though a few beautiful pieces can be found among the 50 or so works by 13 artists, almost everything looks crimped. It’s as though the policing of personal expression in Cuba has imposed further limits on artistic possibilities already narrowed by the lack of proper supplies. Book covers made by hand at Vigia Press, a publishing house located 50 miles east of Havana, account for many of the objects on display. The materials used to compose these collages include twigs, twine and dried flowers. High-quality paper was hard to find in Cuba during the “special period” that began with the collapse of the Soviet empire in 1990 and continues to this day. An artist working at Vigia is given 200 copies of his or her work in lieu of payment by the 25-year-old press, which apparently operates without the full approval of the Cuban government. But Vigia is no cauldron of

political defiance. While a few pieces in the show express discontent with the social order, their dissent usually takes subtle forms. To create “La Verdadera Opción” (“The Real Option”), Jose Angel Vincench cut a small square from a page of the Communist Party newspaper Granma and inserted thin

VISUAL ART IN SEVEN DAYS:

those waiting to board. The same artist is represented in the show by a piece of revolutionary schlock entitled “Seremos Como El Che” (“We Will Be Like Che”). There may be ironic intent in this image of a girl in the uniform of the communist-sponsored Young Pioneers saluting proudly against a sunburst backdrop. But if so, you apparently have to be Cuban to get it. The boldest example of unorthodoxy is René Peña’s “Pictures and Stories.” Dimly lit photos and typed words running down an unfurled scroll present scenes and commentaries from a Cuban demimonde of transvestites and other outsiders. A poem in side-by-side Spanish and English versions is worth quoting in its entirety: This government, this government! / The day before yesterday they cut off the electricity. / Yesterday they cut off the water. / And today they took away the law of gravity. A text panel hung at the entrance to the show, which was organized by professor Linda Howe of Wake Forest University, makes an odd observation about the nature of artistic opposition in Cuba. Noting that many of those represented in the oneroom exhibit graduated from prestigious Cuban art academies, Howe contends, “Their excellent, statesponsored education and relative freedom to travel and sell works abroad are at odds with their sometimes critical commentary on life at home.” Huh? That’s like saying wealthy Harvard and Yale alums are being untrue to their privileges if they speak out against aspects of American life.

Most of the pieces in the Fleming show have no political dimensions, and some of those are actually the nicest to see. On the cover of a 2006 Vigia edition of Federico Garcia Lorca’s Poeta en Nueva York, the Spanish literary martyr (1898-1936) is sketched as a fey figure wearing a hat and balancing a cup on one finger. Beside him, a section of the Manhattan skyline looms above ... a fish. Cuban dancers rumba joyously in two of the more colorful works — one a book cover showing a black woman hitching up her yellow skirt; the other a print of a silhouetted couple whose flaming forms are superimposed. “Shows like this demonstrate that it’s critically important to continue some form of dialogue between the United States and Cuba so that Americans can see these works,” says Fleming curator Aimee Marcereau DeGalan. And it’s something of a coup, she adds, for the show to arrive in Burlington on the 50th anniversary of the Cuban revolution. The United States has severely restricted trade with Cuba since Fidel Castro’s takeover, seeking to strangle the only noncapitalist state in the Western hemisphere. Even though it’s nowhere close to the scope of last year’s monumental survey of Cuban art at Montréal’s Museum of Fine Arts, this poignant exhibit does make powerful points about creativity in contemporary Cuba, and about government-imposed ignorance — the government in this case being that of the United States.
