POSITIVELY IMPRESSED I am writing in reference to Cathy Resmer’s article, “Women in Uniform” [November 9]. I feel the article overall offered a good representation of the goals, structure and spirit of the Northern New England Tradeswomen Step Up to Policing program. However, in this article, I was falsely represented by the writer. The article states, “She had a somewhat less positive impression of the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility . . .”

This is not accurate. I had an outstanding experience, and was impressed with the entire Department of Corrections. The writer mistook my intimidation at my first experience in a correctional facility as a “less positive impression.” I feel that it is essential to clarify this inaccurate statement and express my feelings regarding my experience.

GRACIAS Heartfelt thanks to the many friends of Cuba who gathered at the Firehouse Center in Burlington on Sunday for “An Evening of Cuban Art and Music” [“State of the Arts,” October 26]. We had a unique chance to hear Cuban painter Pablo Perea, formerly a medical doctor in Cuba, talk about the healing arts and the plastic arts and the bonds of affection that can help unite all the places of the world.

FOOD FIGHT Ken Picard’s piece on the antigenetic-engineered seed activists in Westfield [“Local Matters,” November 2] brought to mind the distress many scientists feel at the damage done by such people. In an October 14 letter to the Wall Street Journal, former President Jimmy Carter, along with “Green Revolution” pioneer Norman Borlaug, both Nobel Prize laureates, lamented the human costs of attacks on agricultural science by “first world” activists.

In the words of Carter and Borlaug — both of whom are 2x1-Grannis111605 11/11/05 humanitarians educated in the sci-

“Rolfing helped me get a fuller breath when I sing.”

ences — “Agricultural science is increasingly under attack by groups and individuals who, for political rather than scientific reasons, are campaigning to limit advances, especially in new fields such as genetic modification (GM) through biotechnology.”

While the industrialized world and “middle-income developing countries” continue to expand GM acreage, according to Carter and Borlaug, “the debate over biotechnology in the industrialized countries continues to impede its acceptance in most poor, foodinsecure countries.”

“Because there are so many hungry and suffering people, particularly in Africa, attacks on science and biotechnology are especially pernicious,” say these experts.

As far as I can tell, there are three main reasons that activists have taken up the anti-GMO cause: economic self-interest in protecting the bottom line of “organic” niche growers; romantic or superstitious fear and dislike of progressive science; bias and hostility directed against capitalism, an important engine of scientific research and development.

While GMO foods currently available have no known ill effects on public health, and since their prohibition may continue to cause worldwide hunger and disease, it seems tragic to me that a relatively small AM number 11:44 Pageof1activists can railroad the legislature and the general

MAKING WAVES Having worked behind the scenes in Burlington radio for several years, it was with great interest that I read your recent article on WCLX [“Raised on Radio,” November 2]. While I certainly applaud Mr. Kinsley’s efforts to provide the Champlain Valley with a different approach to radio, I find his criticisms of his competitors to be shortsighted.

Some of Mr. Kinsley’s remarks make him come across as a unilateral critic of broadcasters who have differing theories on radio programming. While he may not fancy stations that target a younger audience with high-energy air talent, there is a segment of the population who does. For every person who is interested in an old Supertramp tune, there’s another who wants to hear the Black Eyed Peas eight times a day until they get sick of them.

The concept of DJ as “personality-driven performer” is a concept

that has faded away over the years, as large corporations continue to consolidate their resources by having their air talent voice-track shows for stations in other markets. That said, those DJs (and their bosses, for that matter) are merely trying to make a living like everybody else.

I admire Mr. Kinsley’s idealism in terms of offering an alternative to DJs who are “told what to say and what to play.” But I’m very surprised to see a radio veteran such as himself criticize contemporary concepts of radio program-

ming. Radio is a vicious business.

Everybody who is not in a management position is trying to make a living until somebody takes it away from them.

BARRE BASICS It is too bad there are so many negative, troubling, persistent — and by the way, inaccurate — stereotypes about Barre, Vermont.

I, of course, am referring to the opening salvo in Sarah Tuff’s story entitled “Rock ’n’ Roll” [October 19].

In this “gritty city,” there is much more than meets the eye, particularly if one bothers to look.

Barre is probably the only city in Vermont whose economic base was originally founded on and supported by art, the classical stone-carving tradition. Furthermore, the cultural resources and amenities available in the city are way out of proportion to the size of the population base.

You notice it the moment you are off the Interstate and at the end of the access road, about to turn onto Main Street heading south. There, almost directly in

front of you, is a majestic, largerthan-life-size sculpture of a revered historic stone sculptor. As if to bookend this community, at the other end of North Main, just before it becomes South Main Street, is another gigantic sculpture in the town green. It is not your typical staid war memorial of a cast stone cannon, but a wonderfully expressive Barre gray granite, somewhat abstracted, personified soldier. This does not even begin to describe the diverse and numerous sculptures doubling as headstones in the Hope Cemetery — which is a top tourist destination.

Also, the citizens of Burlington are pleased to have the Flynn Center in their midst, yet Barre, a town one-fifth the size of Burlington, boasts the Barre Opera House, which many feel is acoustically superior. Additionally, the city of Barre has a fine, neo-Classical, Greek Revival library, of which many towns would be envious.

Finally, Barre is home to a critically acclaimed community and regional arts center, Studio Place Arts, which hosts more than 24 exhibitions in its three galleries each year, is home to 11 artists who have studio space in its facility, and provides a solid schedule of art classes, workshops and lectures.

The truth is, Barre — up until this letter to the editor — has been a well-kept secret. We are actually the cultural breadbasket of Vermont.

SALISBURY — In May, an uninvited intruder wandered onto Bill and Barbara Chamberlain’s property in rural Salisbury, then returned every day at dusk — until she was captured at the end of October.

The couple never feared the trespasser: a runaway cow that escaped from a nearby auction house in April. They even fed her daily. “No one knew where she went during the day,” says Barbara Chamberlain. “We only saw her when she would stop by for dinner. She would kick her heels up and frolic in our yard for a time, then disappear into the woods.” The couple’s grandchildren christened her “Annie.”

Late last month, the Chamberlains corralled Annie in their barn, then put her on a truck bound for Farm Sanctuary, the nation’s largest farm-animal shelter. The advocacy organization has been rounding up renegade ruminants and other animals since 1986. They house 1500 critters in shelters in northern California and Watkins Glen, New York.

Though Farm Sanctuary also sponsors efforts to oppose what it considers animal cruelty — including campaigns against veal and foie gras — Tricia Ritterbusch, the group’s communications director, says they only spirit animals away if they’re allowed to. “We have had animals dropped off on the doorstep and we don’t know how they got there,” she admits, “but we’re trying to curb that.”

Barbara Chamberlain says she and her husband tried to find Annie’s original owners, but the cow escaped without any tags or markings. When they finally located the auction house that lost her, no one there could tell who owned her. “They said for $500 they would come and shoot her,” recalls Chamberlain, “and we could have the meat.”

On the night of the season’s first snowfall, the Chamberlains laid a trail of wild apples into the barn, and Annie followed.

But the Chamberlains, who moved to Vermont from New York City in 1960, didn’t want to kill the cow. They once raised and slaughtered their own cows, partly to feed their seven children.

But they couldn’t eat Annie. contacted Farm They Sanctuary in June. But getting Annie there wasn’t easy — the cow was skittish, and wouldn’t come near the barn at first.

Ritterbusch says that’s because the animals don’t cotton to solitude. “When cows are on their own, and they’re not in a herd,” she says, “they tend to go a little wild.”

It took months for Barbara Chamberlain to lure Annie into the barn. “We would take the food and move it a few feet each day,” she says. “She got to trust me a little bit, as long as I had a pail in my hand.” Not that they wanted to catch her during the summer — in order to move her, Annie would have to be tranquil-

ized, which might have been too traumatic in the heat.

Finally, on the night of the season’s first snowfall, the Chamberlains laid a trail of wild apples into the barn, and Annie followed. They called Farm Sanctuary, which dispatched a placement coordinator and the shelter director in a transport Veterinarian Annie truck.

Starvish met them in Salisbury, and together they coaxed the cow on board.

Annie the cow, who has been renamed “Annie Dodge” — there was already an Annie at the shelter — has since joined Farm Sanctuary’s herd. By all accounts, she’s doing fine. Barbara Chamberlain was a little sad to see her “summer project” end, but says everything turned out OK. “If I go out at dusk, I expect to see that white face looming up in the darkness,” she says with a sigh. “But I’m glad she’s safe.” m

VERMONT — Never mind terrorism; hunger is a bigger threat to a growing number of Vermonters. A new report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture reveals that one in 10 Vermont families are now considered “food-insecure,” meaning they lack the resources to adequately feed every family member. And since 1999 the number of Vermont households experiencing the “most severe” form of hunger — when children in the family go without food — has doubled, from 4100 to 8300 families. Vermont’s dramatic hunger spike is the largest percentage increase of any state in the country.

“When my generation heard ‘hunger,’ we heard severe malnutrition and the distended bellies of the third world,” says Robert Dostis, executive director of the Vermont Campaign to End Childhood Hunger. But with one in five children now going hungry or at daily risk of not having food, “To me, that is an epidemic.”

Because most residents associate their agricultural state with bountiful food supplies for everyone, Vermont’s hunger epidemic often goes unnoticed, Dostis explains. And because Vermont doesn’t have a major metropolitan area with highly visible homeless people, the hungry often remain unseen to all but those who work in shelters and emergency food pantries.

Vermont’s hunger numbers do appear relatively worse than in other states because of its small population, Dostis admits; the overall number of food-insecure people — 55,000, which includes 21,000 children — doesn’t even rank the Green Mountain State in the top 10 nationally. Nonetheless, the USDA report is alarming to local anti-hunger advocates, who point out that Vermont’s rate of hunger has gone up for five consecutive years. And the latest figures don’t include 2005, when record fuel prices are making matters worse for families already on the edge of poverty.

Advocates at both the local and national level blame the usual culprits: wage stagnation, joblessness, underemployment and the rising cost of health care, housing and other essentials. But the hunger news comes as Congress has been debating major cuts to the federal food-stamp program. Sen. Patrick Leahy was able to eliminate $3 billion in cuts in the Senate version of the bill. But a House version, expected to be voted on this week, would cut $844 million from the program. According to Rep. Bernie Sanders’ office, that would push 300,000 people off the food-stamp rolls.

It’s too soon to predict how this would affect Vermont. What is known is that the state’s demand for food stamps has risen by $10 million over four years — to about $44 million today.

“That’s a significant amount of money going directly to households to feed children,” Dostis says.

Board May Put Barnes Back on the Chopping Block

BURLINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Some Old North End residents, city councilors and school board members are expressing their outrage over a proposal, delivered to the board November 8, that calls for closing Lawrence Barnes and moving its students to three other city schools. At least one school board member has called for the resignation of former Superintendent Lyman Amsden, who now works as a consultant to the district and proposed the idea.

Amsdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal also calls for selling the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Taft and Ira

through, it could save the district as much as $400,000 a year.

The school restructuring plan calls for moving 40 students from Barnes to C.P. Smith, 30 to Champlain and 70 to Edmunds.

Such a plan would be consistent with Amsdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previously stated strategy for boosting achievement levels among low-income students by creating a more diverse socioeconomic mix in all the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elementary schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From my perspective, I really think this is driven by Lymanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s philosophical belief that the kids

idea to close Barnes and Wheeler first arose in April 2002 and resurfaced several months ago at a school board retreat.

2 board member Ward Christopher Haessly echoed the sentiments of many Old North Enders who gathered at a Neighborhood Planning Association meeting last week when he said he felt â&#x20AC;&#x153;completely blindsidedâ&#x20AC;? by the school-closure plan. Instead of presenting the board with several different options to mull over, â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Amsden] came back to us with a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;take-it-or-

Allen buildings, converting Barnes into a community and educational center, and turning H.O. Wheeler into a district-wide magnet school for technology and foreign languages. The exact cost savings to the district will depend upon what the two buildings sell for, and requires approval by the city council. School Board Finance Committee Chairman Fred Lane estimates that if the sale goes

The problem, he adds, is that federal funds are still inadequate to meet the growing demand. The Bush administration points to local charities as a way of closing the gap, but food banks and emergency shelves are only able to meet a fraction of the need.

The Vermont Food Bank distributes about $6 million in food annually; in comparison, Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s federal childhood nutrition programs provide between $60 and $70 million in meals per year.

School nutrition programs, which ensure that low-income kids get one or two good meals per day, have been â&#x20AC;&#x153;nickel-anddimedâ&#x20AC;? by the federal government for years, Dostis says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a result, you have schools selling candy and soda in order to supplement their meal program,â&#x20AC;? he adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really ludicrous, when you consider the obesity epidemic and how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to teach children about good nutrition.â&#x20AC;? m

I think people have lost faith in the leadership of the school board.

BOARD MEMBER CHRISTOPHER HAESSLY

at Barnes can do better,â&#x20AC;? says Lane. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things we consistently see is that kids at Barnes do not compete on an equal basis with other students in the district, and to some extent, Wheeler as well. So the question becomes, what is the best way to improve the chances for those kids?â&#x20AC;?

But the timing of Amsdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been more ironic. Earlier that evening, about two dozen activists attended the board meeting to show their support for keeping the two Old North End schools open, and delivered a petition to that effect with more than 500 signatures.

During the public comment period, about a dozen community members also spoke in favor of a resolution to pay Burlington paraeducators a livable wage, a measure similar to the one the City Council had adopted unanimously a week earlier. It was only after the board narrowly defeated the livable-wage resolution by a 7to-5 margin and most of the community members had gone home that Amsden handed out his school-closure memo.

The news spread the following day and immediately mobilized opposition throughout the Old North End, where many residents feel that their neighborhood schools are targeted for closure whenever budgets get tight. The

leave itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plan. He missed the mandate completely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think people have lost faith in the leadership of the school board,â&#x20AC;? Haessly adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are folks who have always come out, time and time again to support the school budget on Town Meeting Day, and they feel like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is the thanks we get, to close down our school?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

But as Lane explains, the school board specifically asked Amsden to come up with ways to address its number-one priority: student inequity. Lane notes that the district has been facing decreasing enrollment for several years and owns too much property for its current enrollment. And, since Barnes is the smallest and most centrally located elementary school, it would be an ideal location for the administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headquarters, its early education program and other neighborhood functions.

Lane also points out that Wheeler would remain open and become a centerpiece facility in the Old North End. He expects this proposal is only the first in what promises to be a long and heated debate.

According to Amsdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memorandum, the proposed reshuffling of students would result in the loss of five teachers, with a cost savings to the district of about $250,000. m

are read by staff in order to identify individual issues of concern. Once all the issues have been identified, the DEC will look at each one and decide whether the draft permit needs to be modified.

Winchell adds that the DEC does keep track of how many people raise each point, though he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explain how, or if, that number will affect the final outcome.

Subjective and aesthetic concerns will have limited impact on the final decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to note those things, but we can only make sure the permit applies to regulations and laws that are in place right now,â&#x20AC;?

Regardless of the outcome, all public comments will be compiled in a public document that will include responses to each type of comment. The DEC then has three options: to grant IP its permit as is; to modify the permit to address some of the new concerns brought up during the hearings; or to determine that more information is necessary.

The DEC is under no timetable to make its decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are two things weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to get out of this permit,â&#x20AC;?

Winchell says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One is protection of human health and the environment, and secondly, to ensure the information is collected that we need to make a determination if IP chooses to pursue a long-term use of tirederived fuel.â&#x20AC;? m

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

Progs Picking Up Steam

V

ermont’s third official major political party, the nationally acclaimed Vermont Progressive Party, held its annual statewide meeting Saturday, packing Statehouse Room 11 with more than 100 delegates and alternates. Few Vermonters know about it, because the state’s mainstream media totally ignored it!

Not that the Progs aren’t in the news.

Recently, Democrats went after Prog Anthony Pollina in the press, publicly questioning his qualifications for public financing, if he decides to run for lieutenant governor next year.

And Progressive State Rep. David Zuckerman of Burlington has already formed an exploratory campaign committee, moving one step closer to a run for Vermont’s open U.S. House seat.

Based on Saturday’s spirited gathering in Montpelier, the Progressive Party is anything but yesterday’s news. Independent U.S. Rep. and Senate candidate Bernie Sanders, the historic godfather of Vermont’s progressive movement of the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s, may have “sold out” by endorsing Democrat Peter Welch to be his replacement, but the Progs are primed to fight on. In fact, they’re even getting support from a few Democrats.

More on that later.

“We’ve had an enormous impact on the political life of Vermont,” declared party chair Martha Abbott. “We have earned the begrudging respect of other politicians, other parties and from Vermont’s press corps. We have proven that we are not the liberal wing of the Democratic Party!”

In a reference to Ol’ Bernardo’s defection, Abbott told the party faithful, “There will be former allies who will not support us.

There will be people who will criticize our choice of races to run in.”

Chairman Abbott urged the attentive Progs “to resist the temptation to get sucked into arguing with our allies for making choices we don’t like or agree with. The press and the Democrats would like nothing better than to get us into a public spat with Bernie. The other parties will whine about us being spoilers, and the press will help them, writing stories about our demise.”

Martha also noted that, despite large majorities in both legislative chambers, Democrats had failed to pass the comprehensive health-care reform legislation “that 67 percent of Vermonters said they wanted and all of them ran on.”

In fact, said Abbott, Democrats “didn’t hold the Douglas administration accountable in any meaningful way.”

Ouch!

Anthony Pollina, former Prog candidate for Guv and Guv-Lite, and now a talk-show host on WDEV, blamed the Democratic Party for avoiding real issues and embracing mudslinging.

He recalled standing on the Statehouse steps when the Democratic House passed its health-care reform bill. He and other Progs praised Speaker Gaye Symington and Chairman John Tracy for their work and urged the Democratic senate to follow suit.

The Democrats, said Pollina, put out a statement calling his remarks “the ugliest kind of politics.” They also said “Pollina was blackmailing the senate to pass his reform bill.”

The fact is, said Tony the Prog, he was asking the Democratic senate to pass Democratic House Speaker Gaye Symington’s bill!

“The Democrats,” said Pollina, “would rather focus on the politics than the issues.”

P.S. A few Democrats are listening. For weeks, Zuckerman has told yours truly he has Democratic support. The problem was that elected Democrats, he said, were afraid to come forward. This week one did.

The Democratic house member spoke with “Inside Track” on condition he not be identified beyond that.

Rep. X said he is supporting Pony Tail Dave over fellow Democrat Peter Welch in the congressional race because Zuckerman “has the forthrightness and integrity that Vermonters like.” Also, “he has smarts and experience and can work with anyone.”

Being from Chittenden County and being a farmer, said Rep. X, will help Pony Tail in the general election.

So what’s wrong with veteran liberal Democrat Peter Welch?

“Welch has cuddled up so close to the business lobbyists that’s it’s hard to trust sending him to Washington,” said the Democratic lawmaker.

Rep. X also questioned whether there was much difference between Welch and Martha Rainville, the Republican candidate-to-be.

“After all,” he noted, “the Democratic Party recruited her.”

Unsuccessfully, we might add. As everyone knows, Martha finally came out as a Jim Douglas-type Republican.

“If Welch really wanted to give voters a choice,” suggested Rep. X, “he could back out.”

Dream on, eh?

Confused? — You’re not alone. That’s because Gen. Martha Rainville’s paid campaign spokesman Nathan Rice has been telling the press Rainville will have “no comment” on the Torture Debate in Congress, because “Martha Rainville is not a candidate.”

Then why does the Rainville for Congress Campaign have a campaign spokesman?

Mayor Jogbra? — At the moment, nobody appears to be campaigning harder for mayor of Vermont’s largest city, and hometown to DNC Chairman Howard Dean, Sen. Patrick Leahy and Rep. Bernie Sanders, than Hinda Miller.

The Democratic state senator and resident of the Hill Section has been busy as a bee. She’s got a great campaign website up at www.hindaformayor.com. And she’s been hosting early-morning coffee hours and evening house parties, according to her new campaign manager Christine Salembier.

Christine joins a campaign staff that already includes Denise Whittier as communications director. An all-girl — sorry, allwoman — team!

Actually, the days of women candidates making an issue about gender have long passed. Jane Fonda will not be campaigning for Hinda. We’ve come a long way, baby!

Kuninâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election in 1984. It was a big deal at the time, coming on the heels of the bra-burning womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liberation decade of the 1970s. How quickly some forget.

These days itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no big deal.

But, so far, Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayor has always used the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good chance that will change next spring.

Though Hinda doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to wear it on her sleeve these days, back in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lib days, she was a principal in Jogbra, and coinventor of the legendary sports brassiere made from jock straps, which did more for social change than simply corraling the bouncing breasts on female runners. Ms. Miller ran Jogbra through the late 1990s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Washington Post,â&#x20AC;?

Salembier pointed out, â&#x20AC;&#x153;once said that the invention of the Jogbra was the the most important thing to happen for womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights since Title IXâ&#x20AC;? (the landmark federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in schools). And the original Jogbra, she noted, is housed in the Smithsonian Museum! â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really does stand as an icon for women,â&#x20AC;? said Salembier. But the candidate, she insisted, is about a whole lot more than sportswear. Besides being a terrific businesswoman, said Christine, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hindaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been doing yoga for 30 years. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really spiritual side to Hinda.â&#x20AC;?

Cool.

Mayor Meditation?

By the way, Campaign Manager Salembier brings topnotch credentials to the Yoga Squad. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a former senior vicepresident at Vermont Federal who was recruited by the Dean administration (Ho-Ho always liked bankers). Salembier was commissioner of the Department of Public Service. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also on the board of the Vermont Forum on Sprawl, and serves on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electric commission.

In a phone interview Tuesday from â&#x20AC;&#x153;campaign headquartersâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hindaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen table â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Salembier described Hindaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign as â&#x20AC;&#x153;very aggressive.â&#x20AC;? The candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been to â&#x20AC;&#x153;30 different house parties already,â&#x20AC;? she reported, â&#x20AC;&#x153;listening to people and sharing her vision for Burlington.â&#x20AC;?

It was hard to get specifics of that vision, but Salembier described it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;bringing Burlington to the next level of economic vitality.â&#x20AC;?

Despite recent reports of financial shortfalls in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retirement system, Christine said the city â&#x20AC;&#x153;is not facing a financial crisis,â&#x20AC;? but clearly Burlington expenses are â&#x20AC;&#x153;outpacing the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abilityâ&#x20AC;? to find new sources of revenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do need to take a look at local option taxes,â&#x20AC;? said the exbanker.

Wright Admits Wrong â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Republican City Councilor and State Rep. Kurt Wright admits he was wrong. Better mark down the date.

Kwik Stop Kurt admits his prediction on WCAX-TV News back in September was simply wrong. In the wake of Mayor Peter Clavelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision not to seek reelection, Wright told Ch. 3 that the recent adoption of Instant Run-Off Voting would lead to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;free-for-allâ&#x20AC;? in the 2006 Burlington mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Throw in a whole new political system of electing a mayor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; instant run-off voting,â&#x20AC;? Wright told Ch. 3 News, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;you are going to have an absolute free-forall. I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a Republican, a Democrat, a Progressive â&#x20AC;&#x201D; maybe two or three major independents.â&#x20AC;?

Fast forward to the present.

Instead of a large field of mayoral hopefuls, the story has become the lack of candidates. So far, Democrats Hinda Miller and City Councilor Andy Montroll are running. The winner of the January 5 Democratic caucus will go on the March ballot.

On the Republican side, Councilor Kevin Curley said almost two years ago heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be running in 2006 and, so far, he has not indicated otherwise. Wright told â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Trackâ&#x20AC;? heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;keeping the field clearâ&#x20AC;? for Curley, but if Kevin changed his mind, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be interested.

The big surprise is that the Progressives â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the party that began back in 1981 as the Bernie Sandersled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Progressive Coalition,â&#x20AC;? the party that came to power with Bernieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s miraculous, 10-vote victory over Democratic Mayor Gordon Paquette â&#x20AC;&#x201D; looks like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sitting this one out. The young Queen City political revolutionaries of the 1980s have evolved into comfortable, middle-aged professionals with careers of their own and earnings that match or exceed that of the mayor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just thought thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be more interest,â&#x20AC;? said Wright.

Got to respect a politician who owns up to a mistake. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rare commodity these days.

P.S. Despite being shot down by the Democratic bloc on the city council last week, Kurt says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adopting Plan B in getting an advisory question on the March ballot regarding a statewide teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; contract. The council referred the matter to the school board, but Wright said this week he has begun a petition drive to get the question before voters. In Burlington, that requires 1500 registered voters to sign on.

Shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a problem.

Feedback â&#x20AC;&#x201D; We always enjoy hearing from readers, and last week we received a nice little email from Kevin Blier, the director of the Rutland-based Center for American Cultural Renewal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; www.cfacr.org.

The Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stated goal is â&#x20AC;&#x153;to promote and protect traditional values based on the JudeoChristian ethic . . . Our goal is to renew the promise of America envisioned by the Pilgrims of the 17th Century and the Founding Fathers of the 18th Century restoring our greatest institutions; traditional marriage, two-parent families, community and religious organizations, and civic responsibility for the purpose of renewing our values to fall in line with our most cherished traditions.â&#x20AC;?

Earlier this year, Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Richard Tarrant went to Rutland and spoke to CFACR members in his run-up to declaring his candidacy.

Apparently Richie Rich, a good Catholic boy whose charitable foundation has a policy against contributing to pro-choice organizations, made a good impression.

BY HARRY BLISS

theborowitz report BY ANDY BOROWITZ Arnold Warns California: I’ll Return to Acting Two days after California voters rejected all four government overhaul measures that he had put on the ballot, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger came out swinging today, warning California that if it did not bend to his will, he would return to acting “at once.”

“I am prepared to resume my career as an actor at a moment’s notice,” a visibly angry Gov. Schwarzenegger told the people of California in a speech that was televised statewide. “Don’t make me do that.”

While some political foes of the governor dismissed his tough talk as a hollow threat, aides to Gov. Schwarzenegger said that the so-called “doomsday scenario” of returning to acting is the governor’s most potent weapon.

“For other governors, a veto represents the ultimate threat,” one aide to Gov. Schwarzenegger said today. “For Arnold, it’s acting.”

In an attempt to underscore that threat, the governor cancelled his entire schedule on Thursday to spend the day reading scripts and talking with his agent.

He took the unusual step of making the statewide address Thursday night to let the people of California know that by defying him at the polls, they had set into motion a series of events that they as moviegoers would soon come to regret.

“For those of you who don’t think I’m serious, let me say just five words,” Gov. Schwarzenegger said. “’Jingle All the Way 2.’”

Elsewhere, reporter Judith Miller announced that she was resigning from The New York Times because “I have become the news,” adding, “and the news does not belong in The New York Times.” >

veryday Peopleâ&#x20AC;? by Sly and the Family Stone was coming out of the radio and I was bopping along in my seat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know, Eliza,â&#x20AC;? I said to the customer sitting next to me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the songs you love the most your whole life are the tunes that were playing on the radio when you were 15 years old.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say, Jernigan-dog?â&#x20AC;? Eliza replied, letting out a girlish laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, for me that would be Milli Vanilli, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sad to say. My sisters and I were crazy about those guys. I guess we were just in total denial.â&#x20AC;?

We were heading into downtown Burlington on Halloween weekend, and Eliza was dressed as a Toulouse Lautrec-era Parisian hooker. The get-up included a tiny white skirt, garters and fire-engine-red lipstick. When the guys at the clubs get a gander at her, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna need a fire engine, I thought to myself.

About that guy you tormented back in school: I bet it would be tremendously meaningful to him if you got in touch and made amends.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been driving Eliza and her two sisters for years, through at least four address changes that I can remember. All three of them are tall, slender and strikingly lovely.

Amazingly, they seem utterly oblivious to their abundant charms, which makes them even more alluring to the local male population. Their swains and many more wannabes have been legion.

The odd thing to me is how demure these women have remained, given their proclivity for heavy-duty partying. Even their names â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Eliza, Sophia and Isabella â&#x20AC;&#x201D; suggest a bygone era of more delicate sensibilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jernigan-ster, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to believe this.â&#x20AC;? Eliza has bestowed any number of nicknames upon me, which warms my heart no end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A couple years ago, Sophia and I were walking home along Pearl Street and we borrowed a beautiful piece of driftwood from somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front garden.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;And by â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;borrowed,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? I interjected, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you mean â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;stole.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, technically, yes. Anyways, I was digging around in my closet yesterday and I found it. Do you think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late to return the thing to its rightful owner?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be righting a wrong,â&#x20AC;? I replied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that a no-brainer, Eliza?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;OK, how about this one, kind of along similar lines. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been thinking a lot lately about this one boy in middle school who everyone, including me, used to tease mercilessly. He was kind of goofy, socially clueless â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you know the type.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow, that so doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound like you.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m guessing you were one of the pretty, popular girls in school.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thing.â&#x20AC;? Eliza turned in Kids Menu Available her seat to face me, her voice dropping from its normal insouciant, nearly singsong Family Owned & Operated tone into something more serious. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a bean pole â&#x20AC;&#x201D; gawky and painfully shy.

Curses, Foiled Again Sheriff’s deputies in Lancaster County, Neb., had few leads in a rural home burglary until IBM called two weeks later to report that someone had called its toll-free technical-support number for help booting up a ThinkPad. When the caller gave the machine’s serial number, support personnel realized that it had been stolen.

Recognizing the ThinkPad as one of the missing items in the burglary, deputies executed a search warrant and arrested Darrell Brown, 48, on suspicion of possessing stolen property.

Eternal Sex Scientists discovered two fossils that had been fused together in sexual union for 65 million years in a 30-foot deep dry well in India’s Madha Pradesh state.

taping himself having sex with the woman he was told to leave alone. Justin W. Fraase, 26, gave the video to a police officer, expecting it to show that the woman didn’t fear him. Instead, the tape revealed more than enough evidence for his arrest on three felony charges. “He obviously didn’t watch it before he gave it to us,” Lt. Tod Dahle said, indicating that the video, which is 30 to 40 minutes long, includes audio of the woman’s struggle and makes it clear she didn’t want the sex.

“He provides us the videotape and doesn’t realize that there’s all this evidence on there that ends up putting him in jail on all these felony charges,” Dahle said. “So basically he arrested himself.”

Silver Lining of the Week Sally Hampton, 64, told police in Naples, Fla., that she was escorting Fidel Trujillo out of a barroom at closing time when he hit her with a beer bottle and kicked her in the head. She went to the emergency room, where doctors examining her discovered that she had a brain tumor that could have killed her. The tumor was removed, and Hampton recovered.

Political Correctness Follies Two British banks have banned piggy banks

as a symbol of saving because they don’t wish to offend some Muslims, whose culture regards the pig as an impure animal. “This is a sensitive issue,” said Salim Mulla, secretary of the Lancashire Council of Mosques, “and I think the banks are simply being courteous to their customers.” Khalid Mahmoud, one of four Muslim members of Parliament, criticized the ban by Halifax and NatWest banks, explaining, “I doubt many Muslims would be seriously offended by piggy banks.”

Sperm in the News Someone stole $75,000 worth of bull semen from a Maryland farm, according to the Frederick County sheriff’s office. Eric Fleming said that the six small canisters of frozen semen taken from a liquid nitrogen tank represented four to five years of collection work from 40 to 50 bulls. “I’m so depressed about this,” Fleming said, “that I probably will get out of the cattle business.”

More Water Woes Police at Texas A&M University arrested two men for showering at a women’s bathroom at a shelter for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Evacuee Arpollo Vicks, 20, of New Orleans, said that he and his 16-year-old cousin were born male but live as women and consider themselves female.

Vicks said that she had never before encountered a problem when using women’s bathrooms, adding that she wanted to shower in the women’s facility because she felt safer and more comfortable doing so. “This is nothing to be

Resignations of the Week New Hampshire Judge Franklin Jones, 56, resigned after a Judicial Conduct Committee suspended him for groping five women at a conference on sexual assault and domestic violence.

• New York City high school social studies teacher Matthew Kaye, 31, resigned after investigators discovered that the 11 sick days he took weren’t so he could care for an ill sister, but so he could perform as a professional wrestler.

School officials said that they discovered his sideline when they visited his website and noticed that it listed him as being on tour for World Wrestling Entertainment on the dates in question.

A Taste for Revenge After Bob Schwartz, crime adviser to New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, wrote a new state law that allows felony charges against owners of dangerous dogs, one of Schwartz’s three dogs attacked him, sending him to the hospital with bites on both arms.

Asking for Trouble Vowing to improve Indonesia’s chronic bureaucratic problems and crack down on corruption, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono announced his personal cellphone number and urged Indonesians to contact him directly to report any problems. So many people (“thousands,” the daily paper Republika said) called with voice and text messages that the line crashed, forcing Yudhoyono to create a special hotline to handle complaints.

hitesnakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here I Go Againâ&#x20AC;? has always been one of my favorite workout wailers, a tune injected with just the right amount of insolence and independence to inspire pumping iron, and pumping my legs on the treadmill.

But when I hear this song blasting from a boombox at a fitness center off Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flynn Avenue, something seems wrong. Instead of David Coverdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soaring roar, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a catlike voice whining out the lyrics to a grating techno beat that seems to scrape the walls â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which are painted lavender, with line drawings of leotard-clad women sweating and shaking it.

Nobody else here seems to mind: A half-dozen women are busily pushing, pulling and kicking on one of several black-and-white contraptions, or prancing on gray, rubber squares. Two thirtysomethings who look like sisters are stepping in sync between sets, doing The Pony and a Russian Cossack dance, gossiping as they gasp for breath.

This is Curves, the fitness phenomenon that has lured more than four million women to worship within its femalefriendly walls at more than 9300 locations worldwide. Now copied ferociously, the waist-management chain is even growing faster than Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; waistlines: It took McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Subway 25 years to open 6000 franchises; Curves took just seven.

So when I learned that, not surprisingly, one has opened near my house, I decided to take advantage of the free-week trial advertised in a flyer.

One of the most striking features of Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Curves â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is tucked inconspicuously in an industrial complex, along with Ashley Furniture and Vermont Hardware â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is the gymâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simplicity.

There are no mirrors, no elliptical machines and, of course, no men. A room smaller than many kitchens holds just a tight circle of equipment. A quote on one of those lavender walls reads in part, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember where laughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hiding . . . itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hiding inside of you.â&#x20AC;?

DESIGNED IN BURLINGTON, MADE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

MAKING BODY-MIND CONNECTIONS

handbags • wallets • briefcases

Actually, it’s hard to not to giggle at the scene, which looks like a cross between the hokey-pokey, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s home gym and musical chairs. A woman named Sue offers to hop in front of me on the circuit to give me pointers. “Keep your arms more rigid,” she says as I attempt the bicep curl and tricep-extension machine. The Curves concept revolves around 10 pieces of hydraulic-resistance equipment, which are designed to reduce injury while strengthening muscles and maintaining bone density. Thirty minutes, or three circuits, is considered a complete workout.

That amounts to 30 seconds at each station.

Just when I’m getting the hang of the first machine, a disembodied voice announces, “Change stations now,” and I find myself on one of the gray mats. These are called “aerobic recovery squares,” where members can maintain an elevated heart rate in between sets. (The music remains elevated, too — Curves dictates that all songs must have at least 140 beats per minute.

That explains the techno beat.)

What am I supposed to do? Jog in place?

Dance like a chicken? Since we’re arranged in a circle, the other women and I can’t help but look at each other, though most of us avert our eyes; I pretend to examine the T-shirt selection on a shelf. I know that Curves is designed to make women feel at ease, but I’ve rarely felt as uncomfortable as I do when I eventually opt to jog in place. Thirty seconds later, we change stations again. Before I know it, I’ve completed a full circuit — without racking weights or racking my brain for exercises.

“You don’t have to think about anything,” explains franchise owner Amelia Chapman, 25, in a phone interview later. “That’s what I like about it — you come in, do your thing, and you’re done in half an hour.”

Chapman has owned this franchise, which used to be located on St. Paul Street, for more than three years; she says she knew “not really anything” about owning a gym when a friend of her father’s mentioned the concept. “The next thing you know,” says Chapman, “I’m going to Waco, Texas, for my certification.”

Waco is corporate headquarters for Curves, whose co-founders, Gary and Diane Heavin, began franchise operations in 1995. New franchisees attend a “club camp” where they learn the ropes from Gary Heavin himself, explains Chapman. “It was actually pretty cool,” she says.

“He lost his mom to obesity when he was a kid

and so he said, ‘I’m not going to lose another person that I love.’” Training was “pretty intense,” she says. “They definitely show you everything.”

Well, maybe not everything. Last year, many Curves franchise owners and members across the country were up in arms over reports that Heavin, a born-again Christian, was funneling profits — at least $5 million, by some counts — to antiabortion groups. A columnist at the San Francisco Chronicle called for feminists to consider “just plain walking” as an alternative to attending the “Wal-Mart of gyms.” The scuttlebutt gained weight as women began quitting Curves outlets — Chapman says she lost one member — and franchisees panicked.

As it turns out, the rumors had been inflated.

A Curves press release issued the day after the Chronicle column reported that Heavin had actually donated part of his personal wealth to three Texas nonprofit groups “that contribute to the overall health and wellness of women.”

That was enough to make many Curves members feel good about feeling better. “As a pretty liberal, Democratic, Jewish woman,” says Lisa Ryan, a 48-year-old mother of three who belongs to the Flynn Avenue Curves, “I find that this exercise works for me.”

Like many women, Ryan joined Curves because she was intimidated by mega-gyms full of men and über-toned women. After nearly three years of Curves and cutting processed carbs and other junk from her diet, she’s lost 55 pounds, and kept the weight off. “My children used to be afraid to go behind me up stairs,” Ryan says.

“They’d say, ‘Mom, your rear end is so big; it’s really frightening.’ Curves has changed all that for me.”

A traditional gym is not an option for her, Ryan says. “I’m not very coordinated. I’m very comfortable at Curves, and if I keep trying to go a little bit faster or work a little bit harder, then it works for me.”

Does it work for me ? I’m not sure. When the disembodied voice tells me to test my heart rate, I’m below where I should be for my age, so I figure I might need a tougher workout. But there’s something about moving through the circuit, listening to my fellow Curves girls chat about their days, that’s both soothing and refreshing. I even start to enjoy my dorky jogs in place on the recovery squares. And although I don’t think my muscles are developing, after a few days, strangely enough, I feel sore. And I want to go back for more. m

THE OTHER TV GUIDE

TOM MESSNER

The Weather Man

S

ince joining the Channel 5 news team in July 1990, Tom Messner has become something of a phenomenon. He is arguably the most popular person in local television — perhaps in the history of TV in the Champlain Valley. The guy wins popularity polls as reliably as he predicts the weather, and he’s distinguished himself in that arena as well. Messner was the 30th person in the nation, and the first in our region, to obtain the new Certified Broadcast Meteorologist designation from the American Meteorological Society.

You love him, but how well do you really know him? We thought we’d give Messner the “Tubefed” treatment in an effort to see what makes him tick.

And, of course, smile.

SEVEN DAYS: You’re phenomenally popular. If a publication in the region does a reader poll and there’s a Favorite Weather Reporter category in it, you consistently come out on top.

To what do you attribute this stranglehold?

TOM MESSNER: I don’t know. Maybe because underneath the suit and the Super Doppler radar, they can tell I’m a pretty ordinary guy. I’m that guy in the grocery store wearing the baseball hat because his hair’s messed up after he’s dropped the kids off at school. You know . . . the one who needs help finding the cranberry sauce.

SD: Anything subliminal or involving hypnotism in your on-air delivery?

TM: Yes. The Doppler radar sweeps on StormTracker 5000 have the same effect as that swinging pocket watch. Don’t tell anyone.

SD: You’ve become famous for your smile and upbeat personality on camera. Off camera, you’ve got to have a dark side. What makes Tom Messner spitting mad?

TM: When Mark Sudol stands in front of the weather wall, pretends to be me, and is better at it.

SD: Where did you grow up? Happy childhood, I presume?

TM: Rochester, New York. Wouldn’t change a day of my childhood. It was the greatest!

“Tubefed” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Rick Kisonak, email kisonak@sevendaysvt.com.

SD: Any little meteorologists at home?

TM: A couple kids, but no meteorologists. In fact, when a viewer asked my 4-year-old why she didn’t want to be a TV meteorologist like her dad, she responded, “Because it’s boring.” Who knew?

SD: People might be surprised to learn that you have a degree in business economics. Was a TV career not what you originally predicted?

TM: It wasn’t. But after selling commercials for a radio station in Akron, Ohio, I realized the rejection was too much. (OK, so elevator music wasn’t that popular then, either.) I then found myself on the radio for five years, before my TV debut on a homeshopping channel in Rochester. Selling china dolls and toilet seats wasn’t glamorous, but it gave me the guts to audition for the weekend weather gig at Channel 8 there. Having secured the job, I quickly realized I knew nothing about weather. It was then I decided to return to school, this time for meteorology.

SD: If you weren’t doing the weather, what do you imagine you’d be doing?

TM: I’d own a business. I owned WFAD Radio in Middlebury for three years and loved it. With two young kids at home and my meteorology responsibilities at NewsChannel 5, WOKO-FM, KOOL 105 and WJOY, it was just too much. It’s something I may look at again down the road, though.

SD: What’s your favorite kind of weather?

TM: Hot, sunny weather. There is nothing better than a summer day on Lake Champlain.

SD: Global warming: myth or manmade disaster?

TM: Global warming: real. Manmade: partly. There’s a real temptation to point to things like our latest hurricane season and say, “See? This is all because of global warming.” Well, in truth, the hurricanes have been stronger because it’s been warmer, but what sometimes gets left out of that equation is that warming trends are cyclical, and we are in a warm cycle right now. Have we made this cycle worse than it might have been? Probably. And that’s where the manmade global warming comes in.

SD: I’ve watched you since you took over for Bird. You never seem to put on a pound or age a day. Special effects, or one of those chambers Michael Jackson used — what’s your secret?

TM: Actually, the credit goes to the new cameras at WPTZ. In real life, I’m balding, very wrinkly and 270 pounds.

SD: How do you decide between “partly sunny” and “partly cloudy?” Kind of one of those “the glass is half empty” things, isn’t it?

TM: It is. I’m a “glass is half full” kinda guy. I’ll say partly sunny every time. Although, it doesn’t work that well at night.

SD: Al Roker or Willard Scott?

TM: Roker. Back in 2001, when we had that huge March snowstorm, I appeared live on “The Today Show,” standing on a huge snowbank. After that live shot, Al had his talent agent call me to say nice job. I thought that was cool.

SD: Be honest: Have you ever been tempted to use the power of the StormTracker 5000 for evil?

TM: Oh, no. We’re all about good at NewsChannel 5.

SD: I like the fact that new technology like that Super Doppler setup you have has made it possible to replace old-fashioned “forecasts” with “futurecasts.” Have you checked to see if that thing can be set to spit out winning Megabucks numbers? Or maybe it could tell us who’ll be the next mayor of Burlington.

TM: Hmm, not sure, but I’ll give it a try. If you see election results on the news the night before Town Meeting Day, you’ll know I was successful.

SD: What’s your favorite weather movie?

Twister, The Day After Tomorrow, The Ice Storm? There are lots of them . . .

TM: Definitely Twister. Where else can you see flying cows? m [Full disclosure: Rick Kisonak’s “Art Patrol” movie review is on WPTZ Channel 5.]

EORGEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NOSE WAS OUT OF JOINT.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shittinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; me, was the first thing he said when he stepped onto the boat and SUZI found out we had no wine or beer on WIZOWATY board. You are such a prissbutt, he said to me.

Lizzie explained that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d thought scattering Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ashes might be sweeter if we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it into a party. Sweeter! I laughed. But George went into a royal sulk. He is 12 minutes younger than me and likes to blame me for things.

He hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wanted to throw Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ashes in the lake in the first place. He wanted to bury them under a tree in the green space across from his condo, even though I told him Dad didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really like the condo. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true Dad liked the green space, but who would check on the little tree, or even the whole green space, and make sure it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being ploughed up for a tennis court?

Not George.

STORY

Lizzie, who is the youngest and a peacemaker, agreed the lake was a good idea. Dad loved the lake.

You mean, like, cast them over the waters? said George, horrified.

Sure, I said. Disperse them far and wide.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll end up in the sea.

Everything leads to the sea, just as all life leads to death. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what poor George doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like. He was devoted to Dad. But everyone knows human beings are 99-percent water, recycled from who knows where. A raindrop that fell over Machu Picchu last month could be the same group of molecules you drink in your coffee today and pee out a few hours later. It could be floating around in your brain fluid.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind thinking of Dad everywhere, traveling around the globe as drops of mist and fog, or sleet and hail. He liked to travel. He even went to Machu Picchu once. He might have preferred flattening someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crops in Iowa to struggling as a man among men. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much care

A Good Attorney Matters.

Have you recently been charged with a DUI/DWI? We all know there can be a lot to lose in this situation: money, time, freedom.

But, there is hope.

for people. He didn’t like Iowa.

If he ever found his way into my brain fluid, he wouldn’t stay. He didn’t find me that interesting.

But he loved George. We all knew that. I suppose George wanted Dad’s remains someplace where he could go and think, Hi, Dad, I miss you. That sort of thing. Hey, Dad, what do you think I should do about the raccoons in the heating vent? The ringing in the oven? The drip coming out of the printer?

It is tempting to make fun of poor George’s weird problems, but Dad didn’t. Still, George didn’t ask to take some of Dad back with him.

I hired a 31-foot sailboat with this cool, redheaded girl captain. George didn’t like that, either. He wanted to sail it himself.

You can’t, I told him. You have to have a license. It’s a commercial shipping lane, for God’s sake.

That may not be strictly true, but I am the oldest. George threw up his hands. George is the kind of brother that, if he ever had an accident and fell off a boat or something — which is tempting, I’ll tell you — you’d feel guilty you weren’t nicer to him.

It was a perfect day for scattering ashes. The sky was deep blue. Dark, fat clouds raced

overhead like in some bleak Irish movie. The wind whipped up spray over the deck.

You did remember to bring the ashes? George said, as if I were the moron.

Let’s talk about Dad, said Lizzie. Remember when we took him out on the sailboat last year?

He was so happy.

The captain had let him steer, and he’d stood at the helm smiling like he loved life. I’d taken a whole roll of film.

George got up and climbed awkwardly over the top of the boat to the prow. The boat had been listing quite a bit but the captain evened it out. I patted Lizzie on the knee and followed George.

I expected him to say something cranky, like, Let’s get this over with. I’d have to fight the impulse to nudge him overboard for about the fifth time. Instead he said, It’s beautiful, isn’t it?

The lake, the mountains, all that.

Dear George. Suddenly, instead of drowning him, I wanted to hug him. We could even jump overboard together with the ashes between us. It would never do, but . . .

We have helped hundreds of people keep their license and minimize the impact of this traumatic circumstance.

4+4 FICTION Anyone who’s ever traveled knows that the journey itself is often more interesting than where it starts and stops. That’s the idea behind “4+4 Fiction,” a series of short stories running until mid-December.

We came up with a first line and a last line, and commissioned eight local authors to concoct the tale in between. We asked four writers to start with the sentence “George’s nose was out of joint” and end with “Talk about temptation.” Then we reversed direction, and asked four other wordsmiths to start with “Talk about temptation” and end with “George’s nose was out of joint.”

We hope you enjoy the trip as much as we have.

Fast Food Berlin chef David Horner fuels race-car VIPs with gourmet feasts

C

hamp Car racers are some of the world’s fastest; the open-wheel speeders are similar to Formula One cars, and can do 240 miles per hour on the straightaways. Not surprisingly, by STORY day the racetrack smells of gasoline CATHY and burnt rubber. But after dusk, a RESMER mouth-watering array of aromas fills the air — at least around the teamIMAGES sponsored hospitality trailers that JEB gather at the edges of each course.

WALLACEFor the past 14 years, Berlin resiBRODEUR dent David Horner has cooked in one of those trailers, traveling the Champ Car — formerly the Championship Auto Racing Teams, or CART — circuit all over the continent. This year, the New England Culinary Institute grad hit the road as head chef for Team RuSPORT, finishing the season a week and a half ago, after a three-day race in Mexico City that drew a record 271,000 fans.

Champ Car racing isn’t quite as popular as Formula One or NASCAR, but the league’s 10 teams still spend tens of millions of dollars each year to compete, and some of that moolah makes it into the meals they serve.

Racing fans for whom trackside food means beer and burgers might be surprised to learn that the dinners Horner prepares are often as fancy as the cars are fast. The 46-year-old chef regularly whips up $300-a-plate feasts, featuring everything from Waldorf salad with truffle butter to Bayou petite crab shots to beef Wellington.

“I think people are always really blown away that they’re getting this kind of service at a racetrack,” Horner says. “Most people don’t have a clue.”

Not that the average fan can partake of this largesse; Horner feeds only car owners, sponsors, pit crews, drivers and the media. He and his team of 10 chefs prepare about 1500 meals for this crowd during each weekend race — breakfast, lunch and dinner. They cook Friday through Sunday, and work 16- to 17-hour

days. It’s Horner’s full-time job, though he works just 13 weeks a year.

He makes $3500-5000 per event.

Horner says it’s not a life he envisioned as a kid. The stoic, soft-spoken Michigan native grew up in Bay City, where his father owned a family restaurant. He had no intention of launching a culinary career, but after three and a half years studying engineering at Michigan State, he changed his mind.

Horner moved to Vermont in 1987 to attend NECI. After graduating in 1989, he spent a couple years working at his dad’s Michigan restaurant, and at eateries on Martha’s Vineyard and in Colorado. When he returned to Vermont in 1991, he perused the NECI job postings and found an ad for a personal chef to a busy executive. “I had never heard of such a thing before,” he recalls.

Horner interviewed for the position and got it. His client? Multimillionaire Michael Dingman, who made headlines when he renounced his U.S. citizenship and moved to the Bahamas in the 1990s. Before he left

the country, Dingman introduced Horner to the rarified world of auto racing, where money is seemingly no object. Dingman raced Ford Mustangs in the International Motor Sports Association’s GTO division.

When Dingman quit racing in 1993, he invited Horner to stay with him and help design a new kitchen on his custom-built yacht. But by then Horner had been bitten by the racing bug. He left his post and signed on as a chef for Honda’s Champ Car team in February 1993. He stayed for six years, then worked four years for Players, a Canadian cigarette company.

He now cooks for RuSPORT. “I like the excitement,” he says.

Horner keeps mementos of his various gigs in his modest home on the Barre-Montpelier road. His small wooden kitchen table is cluttered with miniature racecars and menus.

He shows off a scrapbook of photos, including a few snapshots of celebrities, including actor Paul Newman, who races in the Champ Car series.

Horner points to a shot of the 40-

plus-foot RV in which he cooked for Players. “That was my kitchen,” he says. “We’d build a tent around it.”

That might sound like a secondclass dining hall, but nothing could be further from the truth. Horner opens a slick promotional guide, left over from his days with Players.

Lengthy sections are devoted to the drivers, the cars and, finally, to hospitality. In one colorful spread, a smiling Horner wears an apron and holds plates of food. Beside him is a tent like the one he mentioned, filled with tables draped in white cloths. Each place is set with an elaborate array of flatware, and four sparkling glasses — one for red wine, one for white, one for liqueur and one for water. Ceiling fans spin overhead.

The shot was taken before one of Players’ VIP dinners. Every Saturday night during a race week, the teams try to outdo each other with elaborate affairs. These are the most ambitious events Horner caters. “You want to really wine and dine the VIPs,” he says. “I always want to wow ’em.”

Horner keeps some of the menus

2

SEVEN DAYS | november 16-23, 2005 | feature 27A from these dinners as souvenirs.

He shows off one, from a race in Chicago — “Chicago Playbill,” reads the fancy script at the top.

The meal included eight separate Southern- themed stations. “It was kinda bluesy,” Horner quips.

At one station, diners might have chosen Creole stuffed peppers or mirliton-eggplant-succotash slaw — the mirliton squash came from New Orleans. Another station’s offerings included mini popcorn shrimp, bronzed tenderloin po’ boys, andouille corndogs with Creole mustard, and alligator hushpuppies. “You ever had alligator before?” Horner asks.

“It’s pretty good.”

Even more impressive is the

had to stop racing in 2003, when Canada outlawed tobacco ads on the sides of racecars. That was a bummer for Horner — he thoroughly enjoyed his relationship with the company. When Players redesigned their hospitality trailer, they gave Horner their old stove for free, a $7000 monstrosity that’s wedged in the corner of his kitchen at home.

Horner then had free reign to redesign his workspace. “It was really sweet,” he remembers. “I didn’t have a budget.” Now, he says, “They’re not throwing the money around like they used to.

Cost is so involved. It’s too bad.”

Even so, Horner still gets to work with the best ingredients money can buy. It’s one of the

plain grilled chicken breasts, and angel hair pasta with red sauce.

For lunch, they might get a turkey sandwich with steamed vegetables.

“It’s a lot of carbs,” Horner says.

The regimen must be working: At the season finale in Mexico City, they took first and second place. Horner points that out with a measure of pride.

But preparing separate meals for the drivers can put a kink in Horner’s already busy schedule.

Though he’s got help in the kitchen, the staff is doing everything themselves. “Working in a restaurant,” says Horner, “you have to worry about your dishwasher not showing up. You’re always struggling for help.

[With] this, it’s all you.”

At a race in Chicago, diners might have chosen mini popcorn shrimp, bronzed tenderloin po’ boys, andouille corndogs with Creole mustard, or alligator hushpuppies. laminated, diner-themed menu from a race in Canada, with meal choices printed in both English and French — another Players production. The dinner followed a 1950s theme, complete with servers on rollerskates. At the “Tavern on the Green” station — named for the New York City restaurant — diners piled their plates with lobster thermadore and mincemeat pie, or steak tartare. Those looking for lighter fare might have sampled the avocado-and-baby-shrimp salad. “It was really fun,” says Horner.

But the chef also reports that those dinners are remnants of a bygone era in Champ Car racing, when 12 or 15 teams paid for hospitality tents. Nowadays, there are just four or five, including his. Players, the spendthrift cigarette company,

things he loves most about his job. RuSPORT flies him to the race site on Monday — to cities such as Edmonton, Monterrey and Las Vegas — and he starts prepping for the weekend’s meals.

He places orders with his suppliers that week, and they fly in the goods. “Everything we get, it was flown overnight, pretty much,” Horner says. That includes what he calls “really good stuff,” such as organic free-range veal and organic micro-greens. “You can play with a lot of really cool ingredients,” he says.

Though the fans can’t get hold of these goodies, everybody on the RuSPORT team is invited to partake, except, ironically, Justin Wilson and A.J. Allmendinger, the team’s two drivers. They’re in training and aren’t allowed to pig out. Horner says he fixes them

That can be a pain, says Horner. “You’re cooking for 200 people, and the guy shows up [saying], ‘Can I have A.J.’s sandwich, and in, like, five minutes?’ Just getting everything to work right is crazy.”

But Horner wouldn’t have it any other way. Last year, he tried to hold down a regular job, working as a chef for the Barre Town School. “All of a sudden,” he says, “I was doing 35 pans of pizza.” It didn’t suit him as well. He might go back to work for the district, doing more creative cuisine a few days a week, he says, but he’d like to stick to the hectic racing life as long as he can.

Although it can be challenging at times, he says, “I just think, ‘No matter what, a week from now, I’ll be on a plane to go home.’” m

Bosnian Buzz oblatne sugar wafers or ajvar red-pepper spread recall the former Yugoslavia. Regulars watch European satellite TV, use the free wireless Internet access, or simply hang out â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sometimes for hours.

The man in paint-spattered work pants perusing a Serbo-Croatian newspaper today is Selecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stepfather. The one with the mustache and wool fishermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cap is Vasilios Contis, a retired IBMer who imports the olive oil Selec retails.

Contis is here on business, but also â&#x20AC;&#x153;to chat with Vladimir and enjoy his cake and the espresso,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And to listen to the music.â&#x20AC;? Although the folk tunes playing

Selecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grah is rich and smoky, perfect for mopping up with lepinja, a yeasty Bosnian bread baked by a local woman.

Euro Gourmet Market & CafĂŠ opened in May on Main Street in Burlington, next to Souzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brazilian Restaurant and diagonally opposite the Salvation Army. About a third of its customers are Bosnian, like Selec.

They fill up on Turkish coffee and buildyour-own panini â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the gourmet answer to grilled cheese, with the dinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice of fresh veggies, imported meats and melted feta or gouda pressed between slices of golden focaccia bread. They might come to shop in the little market at the back, where

over the sound system are Bosnian, they remind Contis of his native Greece. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all mixed up together over there,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Such trans-nationalism is music to Selecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ears. The son of a Serb and a Croat, he lost his job training the Yugoslavian ski team when the country was fractured by civil war in the early 1990s. His family is among the 500 or so Bosnian refugees who have settled around Burlington in the last 10 years.

In 1999, Selec opened the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Bosnian grocery. Located in a tiny, below-

2x4-mirabelles111605

street-level space kitty-corner to his current location, Balkan Pearls catered to immigrants on both sides of the conflict, as well as culinarily curious Americans.

In time, Internet orders supplemented Selec’s walk-in sales, and competing import grocers sprang up locally. Selec — who is now 38, married to Vermonter Anita Pion, and has two preschool children — decided to find larger digs and open a café.

Transforming the new space, a former used book store, took almost a year. “I did everything from bottom to top,” Selec says.

He also got a lot of help from his friends. He and his stepfather installed a pipe to bring water from the bathroom to the new kitchen: a minimalist affair with just two panini grills, an espresso machine, a microwave-convection oven and the crock-pot in which Selec slow-cooks his beans.

A friend, whose wife is a Kosovar Serbian, built the counter. “She said, ‘Don’t charge Vladimir. It’s our way,’” Selec reports.

Decoration decisions were organic, and sometimes serendipitous. Water-damaged ceiling panels were replaced with ones spraypainted silver and gold. Walls were sponge-painted red and yellow, the window wells a vivid green. Maroon drapes were tacked at the windows’ sides, and bright orange mini-lanterns strung across the panes. The couches near the screen where the satellite TV is projected are from Pier One. The café tables are cast-offs from the old Higher Ground, gussied up with images of Bosnia that Selec downloaded from the Internet.

The funky result feels like the comfortably unkempt home of a good friend. A stack of wellthumbed literature — The Joy Luck Club, Angela’s Ashes — invites reading, and Trivial Pursuit is available for play.

Coffee cups might sit uncleared for hours. In the dessert case, labels for baklava, Bosnian apple cake and “wrinkled cake” — all baked for the café by four local women from Europe — don’t necessarily correspond to the goodies they mark. Aside from the panini, menu items come and go. One day you might find soup with semolina dumplings like tiny matzoh balls, the next day silky cabbage rolls stuffed with tart ground beef. Out front, a sign held up by an alligator seems more suitable for advertising Cajun gumbo than the Bosnian grah Selec is now seasoning with paprika, prepackaged bean flavoring and sudjuka beef sausage.

“Too much meat!” objects 21year-old Amanda Pleau, a vegetarian who has been working at Euro Gourmet since June. “You’re a jerk,” she mock-scolds her boss.

“No!” says Selec, mock-hurt.

A woman stops in for groceries, and chats with Selec about his recent legal troubles.

country — including around Burlington — they’re also illegal, because they’re considered a choking hazard for children under 3.

In August, the Consumer Protection Agency sent the Selecs a “cease and desist” letter threatening them with a $1.85 million fine and a year in jail unless they stopped selling the confections and destroyed their remaining inventory. On the website, the eggs are now listed as “out of stock.” Selec’s daughters, 3 and 5, are happily “destroying” the 15 or so remaining eggs, he says.

Two customers take their coffee to the couches, where they carry on an animated conversation in Bosnian. The woman, Daniya Ramadonovic, arrived from Germany seven years ago. “I come here every day to drink coffee,” she explains with a warm smile and a heavy accent. Her companion is more reticent. When asked his name, he presses his lips firmly together and shakes his head. “His

family not like him coming here,” Ramadonovic suggests, laughing.

“His wife jealous.”

Later in the afternoon, the couch has been taken over by Luis Tijerina, who is watching a 1999 soccer match between two European teams. Tijerina coaches high school soccer, and likes being able to view classic games.

As a Mexican-American, he also enjoys the cosmopolitan conviviality. “When I was in Paris as a young man in the military,” he says, “you could sit in the cafés and read and write. Vladimir offers that service.”

Over at the counter, Pleau rings up a box of chocolates. “Are these a gift?” she teases the customer. “Or are you going to eat them all yourself?”

“They’re a gift!” he assures her.

“This is not ‘Euro Gourmet,’” Selec quips, commenting on Pleau’s proprietary tone. “It’s ‘At Amanda’s.’ Or ‘Luis’ Soccer Café.’”

The next day, Selec’s grah is ready to eat. It’s rich and smoky, perfect for mopping up with lepinja, a yeasty Bosnian bread baked by a local woman. Selec himself is caring for his kids at home in Highgate, and filling Internet orders at the Swanton warehouse.

His wife Anita is minding the market. The café is open seven days a week, and the couple takes turns there, which means they’re rarely together.

Like her husband, Anita Selec treats her customers like family.

Tijerina is back, and has brought along his own CD to play: Placido Domingo singing Mariachi music.

Trag Christopher, a 35-year-old graduate student, orders a panini with porcini mushrooms, goat cheese, ajvar and spinach, and an espresso lungo — a more esoteric coffee than Selec’s used to making.

“That will be tricky on this machine,” she says, thinking aloud.

“I could order something else,”

SEVEN DAYS | november 2x5-capcitymarket111605 11/14/05

Christopher apologizes.

“Oh, no, no, no,” she assures him. “I’ll figure something out.”

While he waits, Christopher plugs in his laptop. He comes here about once a week to study. He appreciates the free wi-fi, and the fact that he can stay for as long as he likes.

“Not a lot of people come here, so there’s not a lot of distraction,” he says.

From a business perspective, that’s not a particular plus. The Selecs hope to increase traffic with live international music and poetry readings. They already rent out the space for parties, and throw their own.

Dispatches from the food front liced horse lung in chili oil. Hot pot with goose esophagus. Bamboo fungus soup. You won’t find those “specials” on the menu at A Single Pebble in Burlington — yet. Last month, Chef-owner Steve Bogart led a culinary trip to China that left no animal organ untasted. What’s regular R&D for the Burlington chef, who has been studying classical Chinese cooking for more than 30 years, is a rare eating adventure for his

S STORY

PAULA ROUTLY

fellow travelers — in this case, a group of 17 that included Vermont restaurateur Robert Fuller. They learned first-hand that in China, camel’s hump comes on a plate.

This is the fifth food group Bogart has directed East — by now, the forays are annual. Working with numerous in-country contacts, he meticulously plans the travel around the meals, dictating elaborate, authentic menus up to six months in advance:

lunch at the original “Peking Duck” restaurant, for example, or dinner cooked by the descendents of Forbidden City chefs. One 12-taste hot-pot extravaganza was particularly memorable. The dipping items included ox throat, goose intestine and goat stomach.

The vegetables can be wacky, too.

Orange taste lotus? You won’t find that at City Market.

Tofu, too. Bogart goes where they make their own — “the most flavorful, spicy tofu you could imagine,”

dairy and desserts in Chinese cuisine.

Plus, he notes, “Everything is on a lazy Susan, and you have this tiny little plate — exactly the way I have it at the restaurant. You kinda pick. It’s a neat way of eating.”

The next best thing to eating innards on the other side of the world? Doing it in New York’s Chinatown with award-winning cookbook author Joan Nathan. She and Steve Bogart have been dim-sum buddies “for quite a while” says

Bogart says. “I pick up a lot of techniques, a lot of combinations,” he adds, noting a recent special at the restaurant, beef and tofu in chili oil, was inspired by a meal in the capital of spicy Szechuan province.

Nobody else in the world is leading eating tours of China, Bogart claims, so “They treat us pretty special. At almost every restaurant, they were completely blown away by the menu we ordered and also by the fact that there was nothing left on our plates.”

Remarkably, nobody on the trip put on weight — a phenomenon Bogart attributes to the absence of

Bogart, who is featured in her latest book, The New American Cooking. A number of other Vermont chefs, food producers and bakers are also in there. As Nathan explains in the intro, they’re all “people who have made helped to make American food what it is today.”

The bread section leads off with a quote from artisan bread pioneer Jules Rabin, of Marshfield. A recipe for “Vermont Anadama Bread” — made with maple syrup — is attributed to Carol Reynolds, a teacher in East Hardwick.

An experiment in indigenous eating kept Bill McKibben busy last winter. The Ripton-based writer — a scholarin-residence in environmental studies at Middlebury College — allowed himself spices, but otherwise stuck to local fare for seven months. “Eating like this is precisely how almost every human ate until very recently, and how most people in the world still do eat today,” he wrote in the July issue of Gourmet magazine. “But in contemporary America, where the average bit of food travels 1500 miles before it reaches your lips, it was an odd exercise.”

And one perfectly suited for McKibben, whose interests range from global warming and genetic engineering to marathon crosscountry skiing. He’s partial to extreme first-person experiences that illustrate larger issues.

McKibben found

DIANE ST. CLAIR

plenty of root vegetables, dairy products and maple syrup to eat within the Champlain watershed, which is how he defined “local.”

He also learned a peck of a lot about apples: which varieties ship best; high-tech storage techniques, pesticide problems. Cider became a staple. McKibben reports, “I started drinking well north of two gallons a week, and I’m not sure I’ll ever go back to orange juice.”

When he needed something stronger, McKibben popped open an Otter Creek wit bier, made from raw, organic wheat grown down the road in Bridport. Lucky for him one farmer, Ben Gleason, grows and mills grain in

Addison County. He’s a throwback to a time before the opening of the Erie Canal, when “the Champlain Valley was the nation’s granary.” Gleason was McKibben’s crucial carb connection — his ticket to beer, bread and pancakes.

But it was oats, not flapjacks, that McKibben craved in the middle of winter. So he tracked down the once-ubiquitous crop to a farm in Québec, only to discover that transporting cereal across the border was likely to involve customs agents. “By the time all was said and done, my ‘local’ oats had traveled on a truck from Canada to the lower Hudson Valley, and then back to Vermont in a UPS sack,” McKibben writes. “Not precisely an ecological triumph.”

In an entertaining and brainy way, McKibben

uses his own story to touch on all the major food-production challenges facing Vermont. He even takes a swipe at the ag department, noting it “talks a good game . . . but in the opinion of many small farmers . . . spends most of its time and money propping up the state’s slowly withering dairy industry, not supporting the pioneers trying to build what comes next.”

On the optimistic side of Vermont agriculture, McKibben >> 34A PHOTO: TRENT CAMPBELL/ ADDISON INDEPENDENT

January. But not before Nathan sampled his “Baby Spinach Salad with Blue Cheese, Bacon, Grapes and Balsamic Vinegar.” The Lakeview has since closed down, and Obranovich is currently the sous chef at Michael’s on the Hill in Waterbury. Speaking of blue cheese, Nathan was just as impressed as every other food writer with Jasper Hill Farm’s. In September, Katie Couric of “The Today Show” followed the well-worn track to visit Andy and Mateo Kehler.

Nova Kim, who collects mushrooms and other wild edibles, rarely leaves the Northeast Kingdom. But she’s providing the key ingredients for a “Wild for Vermont” dinner in Nathan’s honor at the Inn at Essex on Saturday night. Wild ginger figures prominently in a particular salad dressing in New American Cooking credited to Executive Chef Tom Bivins of the New England Culinary Institute.

Nathan writes, “Wild ginger, if you can find it in the wild, has a fairly pronounced flavor, with a peppery, floral scent.”

Bogart was a little disappointed that Nathan published his recipe for Green Mountain Egg Foo Yung — it’s not “classical” enough for his tastes. But his Szechuan Red Oil Vegetarian Dumplings, one of A Single Pebble’s swiftest sellers, also made the book. He’s cooking them up for a reception at the restaurant this Sunday, following Nathan’s noontime book signing at Barnes & Noble.

It takes a lot of moola to FedEx 50 perishable pounds of organic butter from Vermont to the West Coast. But when Diane St. Clair of Animal Farm in Orwell dispatches her weekly supply of fabulous fat to The French Laundry in Napa Valley, Chef Thomas Keller pays COD. That’s the way it’s been since he first tasted her butter, in 1999. “He wanted all the butter I could send him,” St. Clair explained in a recent article in The New York Times. And no wonder: It’s 87 percent butterfat, “richer even than most European butters,” the Times writer asserts. “When her cows are grazing on fresh grass, the butter is almost as bright as the dandelions in the fields.”

When Keller opened a second restaurant, Per Se, in New York, he convinced St. Clair to add another cow to the herd.

But even with five — her absolute limit — demand way exceeds supply. The small amount she supplies the Middlebury Natural Foods Coop, at $60 a pound, disappears on arrival. Departures magazine just published a story that lists St. Clair’s handmade butter among the 10 most coveted delicacies in the world. It’s right up there with Alaska birch syrup, white strawberries of Purén, Kyoto tofu and Québec foie gras.

“I’ve had to say no to many, many people because of The New York Times article,” St. Clair says, noting someone actu-

ally tried to outbid Keller. But she has no interest in getting bigger or making more money.

She’s trying to find time, between milking and making butter, to write a book. Author Michael Ruhlman, of The Soul of a Chef, The Making of a Chef and The French Laundry Cookbook, has offered to shop her proposal around. Like that better butter of hers, she’s in good hands.

When it comes to food, Middlebury College puts its money where its mouth is.

Along with Yale University, the small liberal-arts school has a big reputation for its enlightened approach to institutional eating.

Milk comes from nearby Monument Farms Dairy. The chicken cacciatore can be traced to New Haven’s Misty Knoll.

Dining Director Matthew Biette suggests, “Some of the cooking styles are closer to the restaurant side of the spectrum than the traditional cafeteria end.”

Last March, Middlebury hosted a conference of the National Association of College and University Food Services, and 250 food-service honchos from around the country got a taste of the college’s winning recipe for local sustainability.

They also experienced a traditional Vermont church supper, complete with servers brought in from the Cornwall Congregational Church. Biette says the family-style dinner was “the icing on the cake.”

Judging from the winter-term course catalogue, the college’s food philosophy is starting to infuse its academic offerings.

Local organic vegetable farmer Will Stevens is teaching “Eating Locally, Thinking Globally” again this year. He’s a

second cousin of Williston cookbook author Molly Stevens, who won a James Beard Award last spring.

The kids at U-32 High School in Montpelier might not be able to pronounce bok choy, but they’re eating it, thanks to food-service director Rick Hungerford. He buys produce from nine local farmers, and five years ago installed a salad bar in the cafeteria. Formerly a cook at commercial restaurants, Hungerford regularly serves up kale, seitan and hummus. “I go through 12 pounds of tofu probably every two days,” he says. “When you can eliminate the meat and still make the meal, we do it.”

The school’s innovative selection of healthy lunchmeat alternatives recently earned Hungerford $500 and a second-place “Golden Carrot” award from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. And no, he’s not a vegetarian, although a lot of U-32 students are.

Hungerford had to meet a slew of criteria to get the doctors’ nod — everything from reducing fat and dairy to starting up composting and recycling programs. But the hardest part of the job is still “getting the kids to try something new,” Hungerford says. “Some of the younger ones are stuck on pizza and milk.”

Five years is a long time to wait for marinated homefries.

That’s how long it’s been since Betsy Bott served them at Richmond’s Daily Bread Bakery & Café. Now, at last, Bott has come out with the company cookbook — a self-published, spiralbound tome that is

SEVEN DAYS | november 16-23, 2005 | feature 35A

as funky and full of love as the legendary eatery once was.

“After years of promises, here are the recipes and reminiscences,” Bott writes in the prologue to Made From Scratch, a satisfying mix of food-flavored memoir, local hippie history, practical cookbook, company scrapbook and employee tribute. In the same community spirit that distinguished the Daily Bread, Bott tells her story via the people who came through. “I had a lot of help from former employees who verified the provenance of certain recipes,” says Bott, who now lives in Maine and works in a library.

What took her so long? One problem was the final chapter.

“The Daily Bread didn’t work out as we hoped it would when it was sold,” Bott says. In the book, she notes that under new ownership, the place “started to use mixes for their baked goods.

The ‘professional’ baker threw away the old recipes; she had to call up for the Orange Tea Cake recipe to avoid a local revolt.”

Two years after Aaron Millon took it over, the Bread was dead.

It seems like Bott was just waiting for an acceptable suc-

retail store. Specializing in local produce, Micelli says, “I’m the closest thing to a natural-foods market.”

The two businesses would like to be closer to each other — word has it the old Richmond Creamery space behind Blue Seal may one day accommodate them. Like Bott before them, “We have similar missions in that we try to make our food with as much local and organic stuff as possible,” Barone says. “It’s a nice fit.”

Suburbia and supermarkets are symbiotic. But some consuming commuters may be rediscovering the pleasures of picking up a little something on the way home. First Essex Junction solicits City Market.

Now Shelburne’s Tennybrook Square sprouts a small, fullservice market specializing in organics, naturals and gourmet.

A trip to Terra Linda, owned

by San Francisco transplants Tim James and Linda Birkenbach, may have just what you crave on the Shelburne Road strip.

Birkenbach describes it as a “hybrid natural and conven-

Restaurants shut down for a lot of reasons. Being “too busy” is not one of them. But that was the official explanation the New England Culinary Institute gave for closing NECI Commons on Burlington’s Church Street.

There’s no stopping the Starbucks coffee chain, which now has four links in the Burlington area. Since they first started serving the coffee at Barnes & Noble, the company seems to have added a new venti-latte outlet every year: first, on the Church Street Marketplace, then at Maple Tree Place in Williston and in Mall 189 on Shelburne Road.

The latest, on Williston Road, opens this Friday with all the varieties, including the new “holiday” iced eggnog chai latte. Meanwhile, Koval’s Coffee is closing at the end of the month, after 19 years in the business at Taft Corners

Richmond’s newest bakery makes breads, sweets and soups across the street from where the Daily Bread — now Toscano Café Bistro — once was. Proprietors Ben Bush and his wife Raechel Barone are both former Daily Bread employees.

Bush is the son of Bott’s partner, Jeb. Clearly pleased, she notes, “It’s very similar in spirit, and they’ve got a lot of the same food.”

What’s missing are tables and community space. Along with hearty, healthy fare, the Daily Bread provided a place to hang out. Bush and Barone are cooking up something along those lines with Kristen Micelli, who operates Richmond’s Vermont Green Grocer Fresh Market. The former manager of the Richmond Corner Market ran an online grocery delivery service for a while, but now has a 650-square-foot

It’s not a conglomerate. It’s what Williston was.”

Harrewyn’s initiation to the culinary world came early. “I remember cutting strawberries and making pastry boxes in my father’s patisserie outside Antwerp when I was 8 years old,” he says. The following year, his family emigrated from Belgium to South Africa, where his father eventually opened two bakeries and a restaurant outside Johannesburg.

Back home in South Africa, economic sanctions precipitated by apartheid meant Afrikaners had less disposable income, especially for luxuries such as pastries and dining out. Harrewyn’s father liquidated his businesses and retired, and Harrewyn, then 25, set out on his own immigrant adventure.

Houston and Chicago. By 1990, the New England Culinary Institute had lured him to Vermont.

Asked about career highlights, Harrewyn downplays the four gold medals he won as a member of the South African Team at the World Food Olympics in Frankfurt in 1984. And he glosses over the butter-cream-and-marzipan masterpiece he created with his NECI students for President Clinton’s first inaugural. But he doesn’t hold back his praise from his father, Gaston. “I was 18 and I’d baked a lemon pie, topped with vast amounts of meringue,” Harrewyn recalls. “My dad, he looked at it and said it was ‘amazing.’” This was the “a-ha moment” that sealed his fate with pastry flour.

from hazelnut and chestnut trees.

In school, he excelled in mathematics, an appropriate foundation for a field requiring precise measurements.

Ball learned to cook in his mother’s modest kitchen in Saverne. Odile taught her son to use the bounty of the fertile Alsatian soil. Apple and pear tarts and pastries using nutmeats figured prominently. Ball came of age as France was emerging from the trauma of the war. In this era of transformation, he found his direction in dough. “You either have it or you don’t,” he points out. “You need the hands to tell when a dough is right.”

Ball left home at 14 and traveled to Lorraine to apprentice with a cantankerous pastry chef who had a penchant for yelling.

Ball held his tongue, worked hard, and honed his skills with

looking for a pastry chef in Burlington,” Ball recalls. “I saw the lake and knew I wanted to stay.” Within three years, he’d become the chef-owner of La Patisserie on Main Street. The bakery-café attracted gourmands from around Chittenden County.

By 1988, Ball decided he needed a sabbatical. “I sold La Patisserie and took a long, ‘pre-retirement’ trip,” he says. “I traveled with my wife to Europe, South America, Hawaii, Mexico, lots of places.” During this four-year adventure, Ball reflected on his career and checked out the international pastry scene. He made friends and gathered recipes. He re-entered the workforce in 1992, when he was hired as a chefinstructor at NECI. That’s where Ball and Harrewyn met, and found they worked well together. On off days

It can be hard to find a seat among lunch patrons diving into plates of black-bean ravioli or mesclun salad, or crunching into a freshly baked baguette.

René Ball is quieter than his partner, with a charming French accent and a twinkle in his blue eyes. He may be a few years older than Harrewyn, but won’t volunteer any specifics. Ball has large hands, which makes his delicate creations seem all the more extraordinary. Those hands are the currency that enabled him to build a transcontinental culinary career.

Ball hails from France’s northeast Alsace-Lorraine region.

Bordered by the Rhine River and Vosges Mountains, it’s been caught in a tug of war between the French and the Germans for centuries. Fairy-tale castles and vineyards dot the landscape.

Alsatian white wines — Riesling and Sylvaner — pair well with the area’s characteristic sauerkraut dishes.

From his post-World War II childhood, Ball recalls the intricately decorated Christmas cookies, influenced by Germanic traditions. He remembers snacking

croissants, Danish and elaborate puff pastries. In other apprenticeships he mastered confections using chocolate, ice cream and candies. Simultaneously, he attended classes in math, chemistry and drawing — a pastry chef is as much artist as chemist.

At 17, Ball launched his career at a Paris patisserie, where he spun marvels with butter, sugar and fine French chocolate. He soon landed in one of the city’s best pastry shops, the Cluny. But, like Harrewyn, he took his talent on the road, first to Normandy and eventually to Canada. He arrived in Montréal at age 21, with just enough money for a return passage home, in case things didn’t work out. They did: he found a job at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel, where he built a reputation in his adopted country.

He added lines to his resume with pastry-making stints in Toronto and Cape Breton, “In 1971, I read an advertisement in a Montréal newspaper

they played tennis, and in casual conversation discovered a shared desire to launch a new entrepreneurial venture. Three years of talking, planning, and searching for the right venue finally resulted in Chef’s Corner.

When the two created their gastronomic field of dreams, customers began to come. They still do. It can be hard to find a seat among lunch patrons diving into plates of black-bean ravioli or mesclun salad, or crunching into a freshly baked baguette.

So what does make this doublechef partnership work? Both use words like friendship, trust and compatibility. Humor also helps.

If you’re going to cook side-byside for 50 hours a week, you’d better like your partner.

Harrewyn and Ball have been together for nine years now.

They’ve survived the ups and downs of running a business, and they are still friends. In fact, they make it look like a piece of cake. m

For the Green Mountain Glengarry, director Bob Cady has assembled a vigorous and colorful cast. Headlined by volcanic Adam Cunningham as the shiny-suited Beelzebub Ricky Roma, the ensemble conjured the frenetic desperation of men in a moral abyss.

Remarkably, the actors also generated sympaC A B O T H O S I E R Y 'S thy and even affection for the unredeemed, 2 6 th A N N U A L F A C T O R Y S A L E ! and unredeemable, characters they played.

sipping his martini and working his sales magic on an unsuspecting customer.

The second act takes place the next day, in the ransacked office. The leads have been stolen and Detective Baylen is interrogating the staff. Meanwhile, both Roma and Levene have made big, new sales. Everyone is rattled. What happens to the contest?

Whodunnit? Motives abound, and every suspect erupts with anger.

No one was more explosive than Adam Cunningham as top dog Richard Roma. He mixed suave charm with red-faced choleric rage as the man-of-a-thousand-faces salesman.

To seduce a customer, he fawned and ministered like a gentle, priestly version of Dr. Phil, his voice so soothing it was almost a purr. To excoriate Williamson, he spewed epithets with unbridled fury. To massage Leveneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ego, he feigned admiration with smiling compliments that seemed genuine. Cunningham depicted the master manipulatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many sides with brilliant clarity. He was so good at being bad, he gave Roma a guilty-pleasure likability.

Levene used to have Romaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mojo.

Dennis McSorley beautifully captured the damaged spirit of a man who felt he once was somebody, subtly wincing with the physical pain of Leveneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s humiliation.

Levene can hardly believe that he has to grovel to Williamson, that the younger men are trouncing him in the contest, that a career of hot streaks has gone cold. Initially, McSorley played Levene as an injured animal, alternating between lashing out and retreating to lick his wounds. Ultimately, he surrendered a little too easily; a final flare of aggression would have made the emotional impact of Leveneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fate more profound.

The rest of the ensemble strongly supported Cunningham and McSorley. As the oily office manager Williamson, David DiLego cultivated a layer of calm control over his characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emotions, designed to infuriate the more mercurial salesmen by asserting his power over them. DiLego stood tall, rarely flinching, as they hurled violent streams of profanity at him â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in one tirade Roma calls him a woman, a child and a homosexual . . . and not in such G-rated language.

The duo of Moss and Aaronow provided some comic relief, especially in the first act, when the obviously smarter Moss tries to rope Aaronow into his plot to steal the leads. Jason P. Lorber sometimes played Moss a little too close to the edge of hysteria â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the pitch of his voice edging up, eyes bugging out â&#x20AC;&#x201D; overshadowing his characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scheming side, which he played compellingly.

an appealing haplessness, his broad expression alternately registering exasperation and befuddlement. His character, alone among the salesmen, is sick of the macho gamesmanship and wants out.

Kevin Christopher played customer James Lingk with sheepish emasculation — head hanging, shoulders slumping — caught in the neutering trap of his unseen wife’s demands, Roma’s hard sell and his own insecurities. As Detective Baylen, the aptly named Steve Sergeant manhandled the subjects of his interrogation with a no-nonsense, Joe Friday swagger. Of course, he carried his manhood on his hip, in the form of a handgun.

As ably as director Bob Cady guided his actors, he also marshaled a slick array of technical elements. He and producer Rebeque Cady also served as set and costume designers. Rumpled suits reflected crumbling lives; only Roma was perfectly pressed, and his shiny red tie was as sure a sign of the devil as if he’d worn horns and carried a pitchfork.

The architecture of the Cadys’ sets cleverly addressed the acoustical vacuum that seems to suck the spoken word into the Waterfront Theatre’s rafters. A heavy curtain hung from the ceiling behind the restaurant booths, which were positioned at the very front of the stage. The office set was boxed in on three sides with backdrop partitions. Both devices helped the actors’ voices project forward into the audience, and all the dialogue was clearly audible. Of course, it didn’t hurt that Glengarry is a play about seven men who frequently yell at one another.

Colin Fletcher’s lighting played up the atmospheric contrasts between the dusky-hideaway feel of the sparsely furnished, cramped restaurant and the over-bright, sickly yellow tenor of the disheveled office. A wealth of detail established the early ’80s period: Naugahyde restaurant booths, a smiling portrait of President Reagan on the office wall, and hideous, mismatched desk chairs in harvest gold and burnt orange.

The ’70s disco and funk music playing as the audience came in — “Theme from Shaft,” “Games People Play” — also helped set the time period, and presaged some of the bad behavior that was about to unfold.

After the final curtain, it was a clever touch to have audience members walk out to “Money, Money, Money,” The Apprentice theme song for the current king of real estate, Donald Trump.

This polished show featuring well-crafted performances deserved a bigger audience — there were just 10 people in attendance the night I went.

With seven major productions opening in the first half of November, however, we may be reaching the saturation point of northern Vermont’s theatergoing public. The Waterfront Theatre was meant to address a perceived shortage of performing space for local companies, but if the audience is spread too thin, it could spell financial trouble for the players, and for the new house, and that would be a shame. m

Early Risers Music preview: Blue Heron Renaissance Choir

vigorous performance of the “Brandenburg” Concertos or The Messiah will always draw a crowd — the high Baroque, blockbuster era of Bach and Handel still reigns in the world of classical music. But so-called “early music,” from STORY ELISABETH the centuries prior, is now burgeoning in popularity. Call it a renaissance.

CREAN The older music appeals, ironically, Blue Heron because of its freshness. Not to mention Renaissance Choir, exoticism and clarity. It uses fewer instruSt. Michael’s ments — often ones slightly strange to College Chapel, the modern ear — or relies entirely on Colchester. the human voice. One of the joys of an November 17, 7:30 p.m. $25. early-music concert is the chance to hear rarely performed pieces and composers.

The University of Vermont’s Lane Series has made early music a staple of its programming, and this week has a doubleheader: the Blue Heron Renaissance Choir on Thursday and Baroque instrumentalists Ensemble Caprice on Friday.

Among the plethora of early-music groups touring today, few are professional vocal ensembles; Blue Heron is one of just a handful in North America dedicated to performing choral music from the Renaissance period. Scott Metcalfe is Blue Heron’s director. If his name sounds familiar, it’s because he was born and bred in Burlington, and is the son of a local musical power couple — conductor William and harpsichordist Elizabeth Metcalfe.

Anyone who has heard of the composers on Blue Heron’s program this week may be ready to challenge Ken Jennings’ 75-game winning streak on “Jeopardy.” Works by obscure Englishmen Hugh Aston and Robert Jones make up “A Mass in Canterbury c. 1540.” The pieces come from the Peterhouse partbooks — a set of long-forgotten manuscripts containing nearly 50 pieces that exist in no other source material.

“It’s hard to get your head around how much great music there is from the 16th century,” says Metcalfe, “and most of it none of us hears.” Indeed, Renaissance Europe was a hotbed of composing.

Royals used music as a symbol of their power as well as for entertainment. And with music integral to all aspects of worship, the church was a veritable MTV of its day: the most influential patron, dictating styles, and launching careers.

Metcalfe tells a fascinating story of how intricate, five-part Latin vocal pieces, such as those in the Peterhouse collection, became politically and artistically radioactive. The tale is bound up in Henry VIII’s beef with the Catholic Church: When the Pope denied the randy but heirless monarch a quickie divorce, Henry founded his own national church.

The English Reformation dictated an extreme makeover in religious music.

Anything associated with Catholicism was rejected, including stylistic choices in musical composition such as polyphony (multiple intertwined melodic lines) and melismas (long flowery vocal runs on a single syllable). Some composers, such as Thomas Tallis, radically changed their tunes to suit the new political mandate.

“He had to make a living,” says Metcalfe.

“They all worked for the church.”

Others, like Aston and Jones, fell into obscurity, their works shelved or destroyed. Each voice part of the Peterhouse manuscripts was written out separately, and as they “wound from

A

here to there and through various private collections,” Metcalfe notes, “somewhere along the way one of the five partbooks went missing.”

With the help of an English musicologist who has reconstructed the missing tenor book, Blue Heron is able to perform “new” music that is nearly half a millennium old.

Metcalfe is a newly minted musicologist himself, having just completed a Master’s at Harvard in historical performance practice. For a choral group, he says, this means looking at issues such as “voice types, pronunciation, choral forces, how many singers on how many parts and what pitch, exactly, might things have been sung at.”

While these concerns may sound academic or arcane, Metcalfe good-naturedly insists that focusing on how the music actually sounded helps get at the core of what makes it “emotionally engaging and moving.” In a phone interview from his home near Cambridge, Massachusetts, Metcalfe discusses his group’s upcoming concert — featuring “rapturously beautiful” music that was almost lost to history.

SEVEN DAYS: Why should the casual concertgoer care whether a choir is faithful to details of historical performance?

SCOTT METCALFE: Oh, I don’t think it matters in the least. I think that this is just fantastic music, and I resist very strongly any idea that people ought to come to concerts like this because it’s primarily of historical interest or because there’s something sort of esoteric about it, or that you have to be interested in odd things historically in order to find this music beautiful. That to me is absurd.

SD: If the music is going to sound pretty no matter how the Latin is pronounced, then why be faithful to the original?

SM: The question for me is, ‘How do you get into a relationship with the music that allows its power to come through the most clearly?’ And for me that comes through knowing as much specific about the performance style as we can know and trying that out . . . so that the way you perform a piece of 16th-century English music doesn’t make the same assumptions that you would make to sing a piece of Bach or Stravinsky. We have a lot of choices about what kind of sounds we make.

And we don’t want to limit our palette in any way. But we want to find out what specific colors and types of interpretation make the music most alive.

SD: Aren’t the challenges greater with vocal music than with instrumental pieces? How do you know what a voice sounded like four or five hundred years ago?

SM: With voices we have no way of knowing . . . I think we can assume that the basic human organism has not changed that much. People have done work about people’s heights and nutri-

tion and the age at which men’s voices matured and changed, and length of the larynx — and I have to say the evidence for all that stuff is somewhat equivocal.

SD: Some of the great old cathedrals are still around, and we know about their acoustics.

SM: We have some information about the sonic spaces that they were in, although, again, that may have changed because they may have had tapestries up on the wall. It’s not exactly the same, but we do have some idea about sound. In the case of the music that we’re doing this week, we do know something about certain specific choral establishments around the 1530s in England.

SD: Like schools?

SM: Choral foundations, attached to churches. We know at least who was on staff. It’s very hard to get from there to who actually sang a polyphonic mass on Sunday morning. Just because there were 12 singers on the payroll doesn’t mean that they all sang every day.

SD: It sounds like there are a lot of puzzle pieces to assemble.

SM: The further you go back, the harder it is to know anything specific. It’s pretty safe to say that in England, at the beginning of the 16th century, at the larger cathedrals — the kind of place where this mass that we’re doing would have been sung — the choirs average 12 to 15. There are usually two or maybe three people on a part, generally more on the top part, and those would have been boys.

SD: During the English Reformation, were a lot of music manuscripts lost or destroyed with Henry VIII’s confiscation of the monasteries?

SM: I think it inevitably must have been so, because there was all this music that was suddenly completely useless to them.

Actually, the music that we’re doing on this program is part of this story. The Peterhouse partbooks are copied probably in 1540 for Canterbury Cathedral, just as it was being refounded as a secular institution. It had been dissolved as a monastic cathedral. There was this moment where they needed all this new music for

this new foundation. And so this guy, probably from Oxford, sits down over the course of a whole summer and copies about 75 pieces into partbooks. And they’re these huge, late-Medieval settings of the Mass and of motets — it’s this last real outpouring of incredibly florid and melismatic English polyphony . . .

Both the Mass and the Hugh Aston motet that we’re doing on this program are of that style . . . They’re amazing: You’ll get the beginning of a phrase, quite clearly set out, and then suddenly everyone’s just off on “oh” or “oo” or “ee” and it’s for a page of melisma! So this guy copies these five books, gets them all together, sends them off to Canterbury, and the next thing you know, they’ve suddenly declared that all of this stuff — you can’t sing it anymore.

SD: It’s music, but because it was somehow Catholic music, it’s like “Catholic — bad! We need new music.”

SM: Exactly. There’s a complete change in the musical style required for music they’re going to sing in church. They want it to be in English. They want the words to be clearly understood, so they want it to be basically syllabic. They don’t want all this elaborate polyphony.

There’s this idea suddenly that austerity is more pious, and there’s this suspicion of this incredibly sensuous kind of writing that’s been going on up to this point, as if that’s somehow not divine, but that’s worldly and that’s going to trap people into occupation with sensual things on Earth . . . So it’s the end — suddenly all of this repertoire is completely obsolete. And it was never used after that point.

SD: What is it about early music that resonates with modern audiences?

SM: I hope people go to concerts because they find the music moving — that’s certainly what we’re after. That’s what I would aspire to as a group, to get people in their guts and communicate some of the real emotional directness of the music that we’re singing. Singing especially gets to someone’s heart more directly than any other kind of music because it’s the voice, it’s us, it’s the direct speech of a human being. m

GOD’S OWN LIBERAL

sometimes largely and sometimes subtly over all things, like God.” The book culminates with a misguided trip to Israel, after which the comedian trades in his crackpot self-importance and accepts his fate as an ordinary curmudgeon.

Currently drink-, smoke- and drug-free, Maron now channels his anger, impatience and intellectual curiosity into his politically progressive talk show and stand-up routine. Unfortunately, his radio days may soon be over. “Unless a miracle happens and the CEO of Air America has a change of heart and realizes what he’s throwing away, ‘Morning Sedition’ will be no more by December 15,” Maron reports via email. While not at liberty to discuss details, it’s clear he’s not pleased. “I’m being diplomatic here,” Maron writes. “I’m actually furious and full of potential malignant slander that I will keep to myself.” Maybe we’ll hear more on Saturday.

Some of you might be familiar with comedian Marc Maron’s breakfast-time radio show “Morning Sedition,” which airs on left-leaning broadcasting network Air America. Others may have caught his many appearances on “Late Night With

SOUTHERN (POP) ROCK

Local faves The Smittens were recently added to Athens, Georgia-based indiepop label Happy Birthday to Me’s roster of twee talent.

The band will record their next full-length, due for release in fall 2006, for the respected imprint. In addition to the album, the group will shoot a music video for release on an upcoming DVD compilation. They’re also confirmed to appear at 40 Watt Club as part of HBTM’s annual Athens Pop Fest.

Smitten honcho Colin Clary is psyched for the opportunity to bring their music to more listeners. “It’s a good move for us,” he told me recently. “I find that it helps spread the word to have more folks in different regions working to get releases out.” Clary, as usual, is thinking beyond the band’s interests, however. “Hopefully it’ll bring more attention to Burlington as well,” he says. “We try to get bands to visit and interact with folks here and are trying to help some Burlington acts make new friends with the swell folks we’ve been lucky 1x6-rustynail111605

Conan O’Brien” and Comedy Central.

A lot of you have probably never heard of him.

He’s performing at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge on Saturday, November 19, so allow me to fill you in.

The New Jersey-born, Albuquerque-bred funnyman has had a long and somewhat convoluted career in comedy. From his humble beginnings cracking wise in Hebrew school, to cocaine-fueled rampages with the late Sam Kinison in ’80s Los Angeles, Maron has paid his dues. This long road to the near-top is chronicled in his book The Jerusalem Syndrome, which is based on his one-man show of the same name.

In it, Maron reflects on his “life as a reluctant messiah.” College, drugs, booze and a total lack of religious conviction slowly tempers his spiritual self-certitude, however. In other words, the book depicts the average artist’s life trajectory with amazing accuracy. The best parts take place in vice-addled Hollywood. Here’s an excerpt in which Maron describes L.A.’s fabled Comedy Store venue, where he worked as head doorman and, later, stage talent: “If you don’t already know it, the Comedy Store on Sunset Strip is a dark temple of fear and pain that to this day I believe is built over one of the existing gates of Hell. Evil emanates up through the floors of the place and passes into the souls of all who work there. The good ones make it funny. I was thrilled to have that opportunity.”

Later, Maron recounts his spiritual humility before icons of commerce such as the Coca-Cola label. “The white cursive and red background has traveled through time from 1886 to the present,” he writes. “Governments have changed, countries have tumbled, World Wars have been fought and nuclear bombs detonated, but the CocaCola logo remains unchanged. No force of man or nature can damage the integrity of it. That logo represents something larger than the ebb and flow of history. It represents a powerful consistency that looms 1x6-hosp111605 11/10/05 3:00 PM Page 1

to meet on the road.”

While the increased exposure and distribution is certainly welcome, Clary stresses that the move isn’t a financial one. “It’s not a big-money deal,” he explains. “We’re just teaming up with a label that’s 100 percent behind our music and is excited to help us have some successful releases.”

He also suggests the Green Mountains will be the band’s home base for the foreseeable future. “We’re proud to be independent and proud to be from Vermont,” Clary says. That’s a big part of our lives. At a certain point, though, we’ll have to increase our touring while trying to also be ourselves and maintain our normal Burlington lives. But we’re excited to have folks who aren’t close friends so enthusiastic about The Smittens — the outside validation is always encouraging.”

COMMUNITY HEALING By now, most Vermonters are aware of the double homicide that occurred in Montgomery recently. While police have already arrested two Connecticut suspects, the shock of the crime will surely reverberate within the small town for a long time to come. Bettie CurboyHoss, the friend and roommate of victim Valerie Papillo, has started a nonprofit philanthropic organization in her memory. A benefit for Random Acts of Kindness, featuring honky-tonk heroes Starline Rhythm Boys, takes place Saturday, November 19, at 9 p.m. at the Montgomery Grange Hall.

“Valerie had booked the show a while ago,” Curboy-Hoss says. “It was supposed to be a benefit, but Val and I were still throwing around ideas about what it would be for. A local guy had fallen out of a tree and couldn’t work, and we also were thinking of hurricane relief. We just wanted to do a benefit for somebody. But now, we’re going to keep it local, because the two people who died [including Thomas Patras] were very much involved in the community. If somebody needed some extra food, or to use a vehicle, or were just having hard times, they’d be there.”

While coming to terms with the loss is difficult, Curboy-Hoss is looking forward to the show. “My brain still can’t quite get around it, so right now it’s just a story,” she says. “But I’m keeping busy with the nonprofit, and Danny Coane and the boys are still gonna play.

Even though it’s an itty-bitty town, I’m hoping to get a few hundred people there. Probably too many for the building, but that’s OK.” Although Random Acts of Kindness is still being developed, Curboy-Hoss has a strong sense of its mission. “It’s going to be really community-based, but it could expand to go out of town,” she explains. “If the principal from the school calls us and says, ‘Hey, there are these kids that are new in town, and they don’t have boots,’ we could do something about it. It’ll be a quick meeting of the board, and people can get what they need. We talked about a scholarship, but I wanted a wider scope. I didn’t just want a plaque somewhere — I want it to keep going and help more people.”

Tickets, available at the door, are $12. Email bettierocks@ ncctv.net for more information.

reviewthis TREY ANASTASIO, SHINE

LOBOT, IF IT’S YOU IT’S ME

(Self-released, CD)

(Self-released, CD) Burlington’s Lobot are possibly the most unabashedly rock-centric band in the area. Unlike other B-town acts, there’s not even a hit of jam, jazz, shoegazer, indie-pop or alt-country in their music. With densely layered, snarling guitars and darkly melodic vocals, the quartet’s sophomore release, If It’s You, It’s Me, sounds like a cross between British neo-proggers Muse and American psych-metal architects Jane’s Addiction.

Balls-out live performances and a snarky offstage demeanor have won Lobot notoriety on the local scene.

The group’s spookily serious tunes are offset by an obsession with nerdy juvenilia. Example: They took their name from a minor character in The Empire Strikes Back. Remember the sexually obsessed comic-book geeks in your study hall? Apparently, they started a band.

Drummer/vocalist/keyboardist Dave Wendell’s thundering percussive work and soaring vocals form the bedrock of Lobot’s muscular sound. Guitarists Dave Putrain and Chris Farnsworth ably handle their six-string duties, providing evocative and well-placed riffs and leads. Bassist Ian MacDowell holds down the low end with equal inventiveness.

Recorded at the “Lobot Lair” by Corbin Smith, the record is, for a local effort, well produced. Opener “Very Best Day” begins with a guitar figure reminiscent of Nirvana’s “Heart Shaped Box” before exploding across the stereo field like aural napalm. The following track, “Lights of Montréal,” makes ace use of a Joy Division-esque bass line and guitar harmonics. On this track Wendell’s vocals are reminiscent of Brian Molko, leader of English depressives Placebo.

MacDowell’s dub-infused, start-stop bass figure on “The Cyprian” provides plenty of space for the guitarists to indulge themselves. Brief, backwards passages and nervous chiming are met by Wendell’s vocal, which sounds a like a banshee singing a madrigal. Interestingly, it all works.

“You Bleed, I Buy” features guest violin work by Emily Rose Curin. While the tune’s intro and verse sections are captivating, its hook is rather too big. There’s a fine line between quality arena rock and the cheeseball variety, and Lobot walk it here. Subsequent track “The Killing Drifter” finds the band unleashing chugging riffs and a disquieting vocal, while closer “4D7” is a raggedy garage rocker whose strength is its simplicity.

If you like darkly atmospheric rock, If It’s You, It’s Me is sure to impress. Sludgy, sinister and surprisingly melodic, Lobot are a unique breed. Hear them with Morningwood at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge on Thursday, November 17.

I’m sitting here with a stupid smile on my face, and it’s Trey Anastasio’s fault. The legendary axeman’s new CD, Shine, inspires the same indescribable elation as his ex-band Phish once did, before they succumbed to weighty pondering and repetition.

There was joyful exuberance in Phish’s best music, and it’s terrific to hear some of it again.

Shine is a victory on two fronts: First, Anastasio sounds like he’s rediscovered the joys of playing music. Second, he’s managed to capture that joy on tape.

For his (official) sophomore solo outing, Anastasio enlisted producer Brendan O’Brien, who has worked with some of the most vital rockers of the last 20 years. Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Neil Young, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rage Against the Machine are just a handful of the mega-selling rock acts O’Brien has “shined” up. In addition to production duties, he contributes bass, keyboards and drums to several tracks.

The title cut opens the album and sets the upbeat tone. “And the light shines on what we all ride on / And when the day’s come and gone / You know we all ride on.” Just more than three minutes long, the tune flashes like a quick smile from an old friend.

Not all the album’s lyrics are so breezy, however. Several had me wondering if Anastasio was writing about the end of Phish. “I tried to tell you all we had was a wrapped up scene / like I knew that it would / It all seems thin, but it sure feels good,” he hints on “Invisible.”

Of course, Anastasio’s musings have always been open to interpretation. If deeper meanings aren’t your thing, you can simply let the music wash over you, enjoying the bright bursts such as “Air Said to Me,” or the killer guitar work on “Wherever You Find It” and “Spin.”

While Shine may not please every Phish fan, such expectations and limitations are the very things Anastasio is attempting to put behind him. Make no mistake about it, this disc represents a surefooted step into the future. By jettisoning the baggage, Anastasio is again free to explore.

Shine’s cover art features him holding his guitar over his head as if offering it to the gods. To me the symbolism is obvious: From here, the only direction is up.

and Kris Delmhorst

each bring a unique perspective to contemporary folk music. The Milwaukee-based Mulvey addresses themes of travel and longing in an imperfect world, incorporating several musical traditions in a scrupulously original sound. Delmhorst, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, finds inspiration in artists such as Tom Waits, John Coltrane and The Smiths. Determinedly independent, her first two self-released discs have sold more than 25,000 copies. Hear both songwriters this Sunday at the Valley Players Theater in Waitsfield.

L EXHIBIT Larry Bowling: “New Work,” paintings and assemblages.

Doll-Anstadt Gallery, Burlington.

Through November.

ARTWORK “Dance” by Larry Bowling

PHOTO Marc Awodey

arry Bowling, an assemblage artist from Charlestown, Massachusetts, has been a staple at Burlington’s Doll-Anstadt Gallery since at least 1999, and his November exhibition of 14 new works is cut from the same fine cloth — or rather, acetate — as his earlier shows. Bowling presents allusive scenes and visual puzzles that imply, rather than spell out, intimate histories and memories.

He imparts layers of meaning by literally layering colors, forms and occasional found objects into translucent narratives that seem deliberately vague. That allows viewers to discover their own associative meanings in the works.

OPENINGS

geometric abstraction with figurative elements by scoring straight lines and surrounding figures with painted squares. “Dance” has a more subtle color harmony than most, as purple and lilac hues seep into the edges of the square around the figure. Also common to Bowling’s paintings are flurries of calligraphic scribbles inscribed into negative spaces.

Bowling presents allusive scenes and visual puzzles that imply, rather than spell out, intimate histories and memories.

Most of Bowling’s figurative paintings are mixed-media, including images Xeroxed onto clear acetate and embedded into black, yellow and orange surfaces. His colors are the hues of weathered parchment, or partially burned manuscripts. Other elements, such as copper, mica, nails and bits of cursive text, also regularly appear.

“Catch” presents two nude male figures involved in that quintessentially 19th-century activity, tossing a medicine ball back and forth.

Oblivious to being drafted into a 21stcentury painting, the mustachioed men are like tiny ghosts, lost in a loop of repetitive motion.

“Dance” has a similar feel, but features two views of a female figure turning in space. Bowling combines

It’s fortunate that the timing of his show coincides with the Fleming Museum’s current exhibition, “Eadweard Muybridge: Studies in Locomotion.” It seems likely that all of Bowling’s figures were expropriated from Muybridge, whom he counted as an inspiration. The 19th-century photographer’s body of work has been a goldmine for collage and assemblage artists over the last hundred years.

Bowling’s “Equus” harkens back to Muybridge’s earliest experiments, which included equestrian studies.

The two panels of “Equus” are horizontal rectangles showing three frames of a horse’s gallop as it races from right to left. The two rightmost frames are partially obliterated, and the far-left image is fairly clear. By so altering the passage of the horse,

Bowling draws viewers toward the left, where the horse is charging into nothingness.

Another diptych, entitled “Darkness, Darkness,” is one of Bowling’s few nonfigurative works. At roughly 6 feet long, it’s also the largest piece in the show. The diptych reads like a landscape, with a low horizon shooting through the two square panels. The light is strange, like that of a polar dawn with an orange sun never rising more than a few degrees into the eastern sky. But as in two frames of a Muybridge study, “Darkness, Darkness” is apparently two views of the same sunrise — or sunset — with the brightest light in the right panel.

Bowling’s trademark scratches and scribbles are dug into the tar-like darkness. Here the unique orangeand-black harmony that dominates his show is especially oppressive, and rich.

The title “Pas de Dieu” — i.e., “No God” — suggests that existential angst is a component of Bowling’s works, along with implied dreams and memories. “Pas de Dieu” is the halved portrait of a man wearing a necktie, locked into a vertically bisected square at the center of the assemblage.

WITH THE GRAIN Brown University professor emeritus Hugh Townley, now of Bethel, Vermont, has received many accolades during his 50-year career, and his works have been placed in nearly every major American museum. His Norwich University sculpture show, on display till November 18, presents freestanding and relief wood works that confirm his originality and mastery of sculpture. Townley’s lively pieces, such as “Hawks,” pic2x2-WestBranch111605 11/14/05 4:02 PM tured here, soar well beyond the “academic.”

GRAND FINALE?

Mikey Welsh’s current exhibit at the Amy E. Tarrant Gallery in Burlington,

cryptically entitled “Potatoes Hurl Midnight Onions,” is the strongest of the several he’s installed locally over the last two years, and shows that his art doesn’t stand still. Welsh’s colorful, active paintings and constructions — which fit somewhere between art brut and trendy neo-expressionism — continue to grow more solid and varied. Rumor has it that, with national and European shows in the works, “Potatoes Hurl Midnight Onions” might be the rocker turned-artist’s last show in our area, so catch it before he exits the local scene. Pictured: “i had been laying in the dark watching the red spots till 11.”

Mild Abandon

“He called me a psycho.”

the straight dope

by CECIL ADAMS

illustration: slug signorino

all worthwhile human knowledge

Dear Cecil, I was reading a Wikipedia article about two-time Medal of Honor winners the other day, one of whom was General Smedley Butler. He claimed to have unmasked the “business plot,” also known as the “White House putsch,” a scheme to install a fascist dictatorship in the U.S. Supposedly some congressional committee confirmed Butler’s claims. Did the “business plot” really exist? If so, how come no one has ever heard of it?

Brent, Urbana A fascist plot to take over the White House? Oh, wait, you mean the one that allegedly happened in 1934.

Smedley Butler’s story was nutty — hey, even the guy’s name was nutty — which is one reason you don’t hear much about it today. Apart from that congressional committee you mentioned, most people at the time didn’t take the plot seriously, and even now we don’t know whether it was a scam, a pipe dream promoted by a few wealthy yo-yos, or an honest-to-Jesus conspiracy to overthrow the government. But something was definitely up.

Butler was a much-decorated general in the U.S. Marines. Outspoken, hardworking and unpretentious, he was beloved by his men and influential with veterans. After retiring from the military in 1931, he urged Congress to accelerate payment of a bonus for World War I vets, many of whom were then out of work due to the Depression.

In 1933 Butler was visited by two officials in the American Legion, the veterans’ organization, who tried to recruit him to give a speech at an upcoming Legion convention urging the U.S. to return to the gold standard.

(FDR had recently decoupled the country’s money supply from gold to boost the economy.) Butler demurred, but one of the men, Gerald MacGuire, kept pestering him, flashing an impressive bank book at one meeting, offering the general 18-thousand-dollar bills at another, and arranging

a visit from Singer sewing machine heir Robert Clark, who urged Butler to give the speech.

Rebuffed, MacGuire went off to Europe on a factfinding trip, but approached Butler with a new scheme in 1934, saying he and his wealthy backers would organize an army of 500,000 veterans to make a show of force and persuade the overworked Roosevelt to accept the “assistance” of a “secretary of general affairs,” who would run the government while the president stayed on as figurehead. The proposed SecGenAff? Smedley Butler.

Appalled at the idea of becoming the first U.S. dictator, Butler confided in journalist Paul French, who met with MacGuire and confirmed the outlines of the plan. A House committee got wind of the plot and held hearings. After taking testimony from Butler and French, the committee summoned MacGuire, who answered evasively. Robert Clark was never called; testimony by his attorney was limited to financial dealings with MacGuire. The big names who’d been implicated (for example, the J.P. Morgan and du Pont interests) denied everything or kept mum. Press coverage was dismissive — Time ran a story headlined “Plot Without Plotters.” The committee issued a report saying Butler’s story checked out, but few paid much attention.

With that the matter died.

Dumbfounded later commentators have tended to ask the same question you did: How could America ignore a potential coup? (One plausible answer: Fat cats controlled the press.) A more pertinent line of inquiry is: What went on here? The possibilities: • Butler was lying, deluded, etc. Nah. Browse through the testimony and you find that the committee did, as claimed, corroborate the essentials of the general’s story.

• A number of U.S. plutocrats really did conspire to depose the president. It’s not out of the question. Though the idea of a popular revolt financed by zillionaires seems harebrained now, it was less so in the 1930s. In Europe jobless veterans were a potent political force, and enlisting respected military leaders in right-wing schemes was a common ploy — witness von Hindenburg in Germany and, a little later, Marshall Petain in France. The New Deal polarized the nation; many in the moneyed crowd really did fear FDR was opening the door to Bolshevism.

• MacGuire was a con artist. Butler himself wondered whether MacGuire was using Clark’s paranoia about losing his fortune to wheedle cash out of him.

• The plot never got further than a small cadre of screwballs. The simplest explanation, in my book. Though MacGuire dropped lots of big names, Butler had contact with only three conspirators — MacGuire, Clark and the other American Legion official who’d tagged along on the first couple visits. Clark had a reputation as an eccentric.

MacGuire was well wired, predicting political developments with uncanny accuracy, but that proves little in itself.

Is there something you need to get straight? Cecil Adams can deliver the Straight Dope on any topic.

Derailed HHH

T SUITE SORROW A hotel hook-up goes horribly wrong in Hafstrom’s half-baked thriller

he new psychological thriller from Swedish director Mikael (Evil) Hafstrom might have proven a twisty, and twisted, addition to the married-person-gets-mixed-up-with-a-strangerand-embroiled-in-a-murder tradition (Fatal Attraction, Unfaithful, etc.), if only it weren’t so distasteful and stupid.

On paper, the notion of Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston getting naughty together may have sounded steamy, but on screen it wound up dimwitted and dull.

Of course, it didn’t help that Stuart Beattie’s script has more holes than Saddam’s back yard. Virtually all its major plot points are predicated on lapses in logic that would insult the intelligence of an average 14-year-old.

And you don’t have to wait long for the first one. Owen plays a Chicago advertising executive whose daughter is diabetic and whose marriage isn’t as healthy as it once was, either. He misses his regular train into town one morning and, when the ticket collector comes around, it turns out he’s forgotten his cash. A half-dozen seats away, Aniston offers to pay for him. Naturally, he takes a seat across from her shortly thereafter to say thanks.

They introduce themselves and flirt a little. She tells him she’s a broker at a prominent firm and shows him a photo of a little girl she carries in her wallet. According to her, she’s a golf widow.

Her husband is inattentive. Her daughter keeps her going.

Naturally, Owen makes a point to miss his train the following day and seek her out, ostensibly to repay the debt. He has a hard time getting this fetching stranger off his mind.

Daydreaming about her in his office the day before, he even went so far as to log onto her company’s website and click on her name. Lapse in logic #1: He calls up a page with a personal description that matches the one Aniston offered on the train, only there’s no official company photo. Hmm, nothing fishy there.

The next thing you know, the two have met for drinks, shared their first kiss, and climbed into a cab to go hotel hunting. Lapse #2: Jennifer nixes all the high-security luxury places, but can’t get to the front desk fast enough when they come across a rundown dump on the wrong side of town.

SHORTS Lapse #3: Owen doesn’t bother to lock the door when they enter their skid-row love nest. So it may or may not come as a shock when their snuggling is interrupted by a pistol-wielding thug who proceeds to relieve them of their wallets, savagely beat Owen, and repeatedly violate Aniston, periodically rousing her date to make sure he’s registering the atrocity. It’s a singularly repulsive sequence.

Owen visits Aniston in the lobby of her company’s headquarters a number of times afterward (lapse alert). He thinks they should tell the police what happened. She doesn’t want to, claiming she couldn’t bear it were her husband and daughter to find out what she was up to in that squalid dive. She’s only marginally sympathetic when their attacker (Ocean’s Twelve’s Vincent Cassel) starts calling Owen and demanding ever-larger sums of hush money. In a scene straight out of Fatal Attraction, he even pays a visit to Owen’s home, pretending to be a business associate and making perfectly clear how easy it would be for him to add his wife and daughter to his list of victims.

What’s a fellow to do? On one hand, there’s a madman threatening his family and draining savings earmarked for his daughter’s life-saving medical treatment. On the other, there’s a hot chick who’d prefer to keep the police out of it. Tough choice. That is, if you happen to be a character trapped in a laughably bad script.

Naturally, Owen winds up going mano a mano with the maniac in a series of lapse-happy scenes. And we’re not terribly surprised by the script’s big, last-minute twist. Anyone who can’t see this one coming should be legally required to wear prescription lenses to the Cineplex.

Gratuitously brutal, chronically preposterous, abysmally unoriginal, pretty much pointless and virtually 100 percent free of credible characters, Derailed represents career lows for its stars, and marks an unpromising English-language debut for its director. It’s difficult to imagine why any of the talented people involved in this instantly forgettable affair would have been tempted to bother.

Unless, of course, they were being blackmailed, too. m

CHICKEN LITTLE HH1/2 Zach Braff, Joan Cusack and Don Knotts are among the voice cast in Disney’s computer-animated comedy in which the sky really is threatening not to stay where it belongs. (81 min, G) DERAILEDHH1/2 Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston are paired in Mikael Hafstrom’s suspensefest about a married ad exec and an alluring stranger who meet on a morning commute, begin an affair, and get drawn into a dangerous plot by a violent criminal.

With Vincent Cassel and Melissa George. (110 min, R) DOOMH1/2 The phenomenally popular videogame makes the leap from the computer screen to the silver screen with this horror-sci-fi combo about a research facility on Mars where things go phenomenally wrong. The Rock, Karl Urban and Ben Daniels star. Andrzej Bartkowiak directs. (100 min, R) DREAMER: INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORYHHH Kurt Russell stars in the family-friendly saga of a famed trainer who sacrifices everything to save the injured horse his daughter hopes will race again. Dakota Fanning costars.

John Gatins directs. (98 min, PG)

SEVEN DAYS CAPOTE

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Back to Bergman never stopped mourning his dead wife Anna, and Karin is similarly stuck in the past. They also share a dark secret.

Marianne becomes a sort of surrogate mother to the girl. An intricate web of family ties soon ensnares both households. Although not quite as dramatically compelling as it was three decades ago, the venom remains strong. Since Bergman has vowed this will be his last film, graying cineastes probably won’t mind the sting.

Early on in Capote, opening this weekend at the Roxy in Burlington, there is a brief exchange that then hovers over the biographical film: Two Manhattan-based writers are on a train in 1959 hurtling through the rural Midwest. Harper Lee asks Truman Capote if the passing vista makes him miss their native Alabama, where they were childhood friends. “Not even a little bit,” he tells her.

And yet their visit to Kansas, where she helps him research a story about the murder of a local family for The New Yorker, is very much a return to roots.

Capote (Philip Seymour Hoffman, who masters the late author’s eccentricities) learns that he has a lot in common with one of the killers, Perry Smith. They’re both haunted by a history of parental abandonment in a milieu of alcoholism and suicide.

“It’s like Perry and I grew up in the same house,” Capote observes, “and one day he went out the back door and I

went out the front.”

That empathy becomes part of his obsession with the brooding, charismatic Smith (Clifton Collins, Jr.). The scribe must woo the criminal in order to craft an in-depth magazine piece — the precursor of his landmark nonfiction novel, In Cold Blood. But their bond is somewhat illusory. Vowing to show the world that Smith is not “a monster,” Capote burrows into this convict’s human, if twisted, core. In turn, Smith envisions the literary effort leading to clemency in his death sentence. The execution, however, is an essential final chapter.

With a smart script by Dan Futterman, director Bennett Miller coaxes uniformly Oscar-caliber performances from his cast and accurately depicts the cultural schism of mid-20th-century America.

Capote is already famous for writing the novel Breakfast at Tiffany’s, hobnobbing with movie stars, and appearing on TV talk shows. He uses his celebrity to seduce the small Kansas town steeped in conformity, where a dapper little man with a singsong voice might otherwise be regarded as a freak. Only a taciturn Kansas Bureau of Investigation agent (Chris Cooper) remains wary, even though his wife (Amy Ryan) is bedazzled.

Harper Lee (Catherine Keener), who has yet to publish To Kill a Mockingbird when this 6-year celluloid saga begins, understands Capote all too well. He’s a scintillating raconteur; in their New York circle, artists and intellectuals are drawn to his genius, and apparently overlook his boundless self-absorption. The same could well be true of filmgoers, who are likely to see the title character as a fascinating, flawed force of nature. m

fickle fannie

BY DAVID DIEFENDORF

READ THIS FIRST:

This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is?

NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.

The grinning flasher provoked both gasps and CANDY BAR. In old France, the CANDY BAR were known for their bravado.

As a newborn, the future slugger was a CANDY BAR. An unscrupulous bimbo may be searching for a CANDY BAR. If you drop things a lot you have more than one CANDY BAR. Formerly svelte Dan Aykroyd is a bit CANDY BAR these days.

CANDY BAR Avenue is on the upper east side of New CANDY BAR. Looking for CANDY BAR put a chill on the prospect of casual sex.

Petula CANDY BAR has been on the pop charts for 51 years.

Our solar system’s on the outer fringe of the CANDY BAR. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS CHOCOLATE. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 63A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week.

Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

FICKLE FANNIE HINT: The context will steer you to the names.

O

nce upon a time, people lined up around the block to buy tickets for the latest theatrical releases by Ingmar Bergman. Nostalgia gave way to surprise at the 2004 Montréal World Film Festival because the queue was so long for the North American premiere of Saraband. This work by the legendary Swedish auteur will finally screen in Vermont, at Montpelier’s Savoy, at 4 p.m. this Saturday and Sunday.

Saraband is a sequel to Scenes From a Marriage, Bergman’s 1973 anatomy of a crumbling relationship in which Erland Josephson and Liv Ullmann play a couple who exemplify the conundrum of a W.D. Snodgrass poem: “With love, we kill each other / Without love, we die / I tell you love is possible / We have to try.” The characters, Johan and Marianne, try and try and try some more. When rage leads to divorce, they still can’t stay completely apart.

In the update, made for Swedish television like its predecessor, Marianne decides to visit Johan at his country cottage after a separation of 30 years. He’s a frail but still ornery widower. The younger Marianne has aged more gracefully and refers to a second husband.

This being Bergman, no one is happy, although initially Marianne seems at peace with herself.

The angst escalates when Johan’s morose son Henrik (Borje Ahlstedt) and teenage granddaughter Karin (Julia Dufvenius), skilled cellists who live nearby, come into focus. Johan has

A salute to 2nd LT Mark Procopio Mark graduated from the Business School at UVM last year. He â&#x20AC;&#x153;worked in the back roomâ&#x20AC;? as we say of the students who staff the Business School help desk. He would often stop by and sit and chat about various technologies and how they really work.

Mark was Army ROTC and a member of the Vermont National Guard. He was particularly proud of the service his father and grandfather in the Guard and was anxious to serve the country in his own manner.

Last week, 2nd LT Procopio was killed when his squad was rushing to provide assistance to a downed helicopter in Iraq.

His HUMVEE was hit by an IED buried in the road. He died instantly.

Mark and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see eye to eye politically, but that was OK with me, and it was OK with him. He fought in his way to protect me and those I love, and I intend to continue fighting in my own way to protect Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and those whom he loved. I only hope I can honor his service and sacrifice.

SAUTEED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH GARLIC AND PINE NUTS

And a whole aisle of hand-picked wines with excellent wine advice and, of course, you’re surrounded by the finest food in town!

1 pound small, firm, bright green brussels sprouts, rinsed, with stem ends and discolored leaves removed 1/2 teaspoon salt • 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/4 cup pine nuts • 2 large garlic cloves, minced Salt and ground black pepper

WHY BUY A LOCAL TURKEY?

Bring sprouts, 1/2 cup water, and salt to boil in 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Lower heat, cover, and simmer (shaking pan once or twice to redistribute sprouts) until knife tip inserted into a brussels sprout center meets no resistance, 8 to 10 minutes.

Drain well and cut in quarters. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add pine nuts; cook, stirring frequently, until nuts begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook just until softened, about 1 minute. Stir in sprouts and cook, stirring constantly, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve right away!

FRIDAY 18

A MOVEABLE FEAST

They say you can never go home again, but the three Vermonters who founded one of Boston’s up-and-coming modern dance companies don’t buy it. Tandem Dance drops into Burlington to perform eight to 10 short pieces, six of which are premieres. Seven dancers include co-artistic directors Arlene Steiner, formerly of Newport, and Melissa Ham-Ellis, who grew up in Essex.

Sooner Routhier, another Newport native and the company’s production director, brings technical stage savvy to the mix. “It ended up being a great connection,” says Ham-Ellis. “Everyone has a different strength.”

Billbob Brown, a dance prof from UMass Amherst, guest choreographs “This Wednesday,” which melds movement and original video with music by Arvo Pärt to comment on a newscast. Catch them while they’re here.

TANDEM DANCE Friday, November 18, FlynnSpace, Burlington, 7:30 p.m. $15. Info, 863-5966. http://www.flynncenter.org

scene@SHERATON CONFERENCE CENTER SOUTH BURLINGTON, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 11:30 A.M. Since my sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engagement six months ago, I have not been the most attentive maid of honor. My contributions to the wedding plans have been limited to demanding a dress that makes me look good and suggesting guppy-filled bowls for centerpieces. Attempting to redeem myself, I agreed to accompany my sister and her fiancĂŠ to the 2005 Bridal Show.

The eager future brides and their unenthusiastic grooms outside the Emerald Ballroom formed a line down the hallway and around the corner. The ladies in charge barked commands at the slow movers and, using exaggerated hand signals, kept everyone flowing toward the registration table. During the 20-minute wait, my sister checked her list: photographer, cake, tuxedo. Luckily, she already had her dress.

The ballroom bubbled with conversation as 30-some vendors made their pitches to the nametag-adorned couples. While my sister talked with a dessert chef, I bit into what resembled a raspberry tart but turned out to be a gritty ball of goo.

We quickly moved on to determine if Masters Tuxedos carried formal wear in red plaid. Overhearing our discussion, a woman turned to my brother-in-law-to-be and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plaid, yuck.â&#x20AC;? Undeterred, we pressed on.

Passing by the chocolate fountain, my sister urged me to sample it, claiming her white sweater exempted her. I tried not to think about double dippers and plunged an out-of-season strawberry into the streaming chocolate. Not wanting to offend the attentive vendor, I turned away to choke down the mushy fruit.

Now determined to ingest one thing that did not make me gag, I turned to a quaint catering company with fresh-baked, aesthetically pleasing pies and cheesecakes. But with my first bite I recalled the pies I made as a kid, using mud and grass. OK, call me picky.

Glad my own â&#x20AC;&#x153;big dayâ&#x20AC;? was in the distant future, I decided the best thing to do was escape. Grabbing a free bridal magazine and a handful of pens, we left with a dim idea of what was needed at the wedding, and a definite list of items to exclude.

Soap opera viewers believe in the carefully coiffed characters on their daytime shows, and Miguel Sabido knows it. The communication scholar has been tapping into that bond since the early ’70s, when he pioneered the use of serialized, social-content telenovelas to redirect Mexican attitudes about family planning and gender inequality. Sabido’s technique has worked well in radio, TV and comic-book form in India, Kenya, Brazil and the Philippines, among other countries. Through sensitive programming, the shows put human faces on arranged marriage, poverty, birth control and AIDS, and challenge the hot-button attitudes that often surround these issues. Sabido keynotes at a gathering of the international Population Media Center, a U.N.-affiliated, Shelburne-based global nonprofit devoted to improving world health and well-being through educational entertainment.

SMOKED OUT

When poet Richard Cambridge first staged his one-man show “The Cigarette Papers,” he didn’t have to do much acting. The performance chronicles ditching a 20-year, 2-pack-a-day tobacco habit. In it, the winner of the 1997 National Poetry Slam wrestles with the Marlboro Man, the Cookie Monster and, finally, God. Cambridge says of the show, which premiered in 1994, “I’ve been doing this for quite some time, but it’s not like addiction has gone away.” It’s no coincidence that this particular production follows the American Cancer Society’s November 17 “Great American Smokeout.” The event encourages all nicotine fiends to kick the habit for at least a day, and hopefully for life. Cambridge, for one, wouldn’t go back.

BIG EASY DOES IT

Since Hurricane Katrina, the St. Charles streetcar has been missing from its route along the edge of New Orleans’ Garden District, and there’s no telling when the antique conveyance will clank back into service. But in some sense, it’s already been immortalized, as has the city, in Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire. The sultry drama about faded Southern belle Blanche DuBois, who goes to live with her tenement-poor sister and her abusive, animalistic brother-in-law, oozes sexual tension. Penned in a French Quarter apartment, in many ways it’s the prolific playwright’s signature show, probing poverty and morality in the Big Easy.

The Lamoille County Players give audience members a reason to yell, “Stella!”

LOCAL VOCALS

Vocal coach Bill Reed has been commuting weekly between Vermont and Broadway for 20 years, and can say with seriousness, “I’ve made some of my best friends on the airplane.” The founder of the musical theater program at New York’s renowned Circle in the Square Theatre School, Reed has taken on local students and Lyric Theater hobbyists as well as those treading Broadway’s boards. A posse of current and former pupils presents a family-friendly cabaret of little-known-but-exciting songs. The ensemble includes seasoned theater pro Kevin McGuire (pictured), whose roles include the lead in Les Miserables. “We’ve picked music that’s never been performed up here,” Reed notes, alluding to songs that were cut from shows before they opened. Talk about an inside track.

SEVEN DAYS

free will astrology

L RE A

NOVEMBER 17-23

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Kyoto

Protocol is an international treaty designed to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases and thereby slow global warming. Though 157 nations have ratified it, a notable exception has been the United States, which is the planet’s leading polluter. To their credit, millions of American citizens have launched a grassroots movement to rebel against the federal government’s puzzling stubbornness. One hundredsixty-six cities have agreed to the Kyoto Protocol.

I suggest you take a similar approach in your own sphere, Aries. When a powerful authority acts stupid or when a foggy bureaucracy threatens to paralyze progress, take matters into your own hands. Ignore the mediocrity at the top as you mobilize everyone else to do what’s right.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Fortean Times reported on the odd case of Dixie, a British donkey that brays backwards. Instead of the usual hee-haw, she expresses herself with the sound of haw-hee. I nominate her to be an inspirational role model for your own inner donkey in the coming week, Taurus. Encourage that tireless, steady, hard-working part of you to be playfully deviant, fond of reversals, and on the lookout for upside-down and inside-out forms of expression — while still remaining devoted to completing the demanding tasks at hand.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):“Motivation will almost always beat mere talent,” says businessman Norman R. Augustine. You’ve been a victim of that fact on several occasions, Gemini.

People with less skill than you have won out because they had more raw drive than you. Now I’m alerting you to the possibility that the same damn thing could happen again soon unless you take vigorous action. Please ask your imagination to come up with a batch of fresh, hot ideas for ramping up your ambition.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Antonio Favaro (1847-1922) edited a 20-volume work that collected the writings of seminal astronomer Galileo Galilei. “There’s not the slightest doubt

that Galileo was involved with astrology,” Favaro wrote. “He was famous for his great ability in that art, so that distinguished people consulted him with complete confidence, in many cases asking for horoscopes and predictions.” Celebrating the re-emergence of this lost truth, I hereby proclaim Galileo to be my spiritual forefather and the patron saint of my efforts to integrate the aims of science and mysticism. I urge you to follow my lead, Cancerian. Forge new links to inspirational role models from the past. Turbocharge your quest for success by drawing on the example of those who fulfilled dreams that resembled yours. Connect your destiny to heroes and teachers who remind you of you.

BY ROB BREZSNY You can call Rob Brezsny, day or night, for your expanded weekly horoscope 1-900-950-7700. $1.99 per minute. 18 and over. Touchtone phone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Americans who decry the flow of “illegal” immigrants into their country choose to ignore important details, like, for instance, the fact that each year the illegals pay about $6.4 billion into the Social Security fund. Use this as a starting point for your own meditations in the coming week, Libra.

Is there any way in which you actually benefit from people or things you complain about? Are there influences that you resist or oppose even though they ultimately enhance your environment? Correct the flaws in your logic about your adversaries and scapegoats.

SCORPIO

about how each of us has a false self and an authentic self. When we’re in the grip of the false one, we don’t love ourselves unless other people love us.

We’re addicted to status and other superficial standards of success, and we chase after all sorts of meaningless desires that can’t possibly bring any lasting gratification. When we’re anchored in our authentic self, on the other hand, our motivations are rooted in a love of life. We pursue our dreams because they’re interesting and exciting, not in order to impress anyone. The coming weeks will bring a showdown between your false self and authentic self, Leo. If I were a betting man, I’d put my money on the authentic one.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In 1837, Frederick Froebel started the first school for 4and 5-year-olds in Germany. He called it “kindergarten,” or child’s garden, and made it into a paradisiacal sanctuary where teachers read kids poetry and stories, led them in singing songs, and oversaw them as they gardened and played outdoors. Government authorities later shut the place down, citing the “dangerous freedom” of the experiment. I expect you may soon run into comparable opposition as you practice your own personal brand of “dangerous freedom,” Scorpio.

How should you respond? Do whatever it takes to keep your dream alive, even if it means you have to cool it for a while. Just as the concept of kindergarten eventually revived and thrived, so too must your innovation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Actress

SAGITTARIUS

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Psychotherapists talk

Jennifer Connelly confessed to Esquire magazine that she gets a lot done while enjoying conjugal relations with her husband. “I like to read a book while having sex. And talk on the phone. You can get so much done. If the room’s dark enough, I like to do some online shopping.” In the coming week, Virgo, I suspect you’ll be tempted to indulge in a Connelly-style marathon of multitasking. And though that might feel natural and wise, I’m here to advise you against it. To place yourself in maximum alignment with cosmic rhythms, you should specialize in diving deep into one fascinating mission at a time.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In ancient Greek mythology, Tantalus got into trouble with the gods for spilling some of their secrets to human beings. As punishment, he was condemned to spend eternity standing in a pool of water surrounded by trees full of ripe pears, apples and pomegranates. Whenever he bent down to take a drink, the pool dried up.

When he reached out for a fruit, the branch would recede out of his grasp. He was always parched and famished even though nourishment was inches away. His name is the origin of the English word “tantalize.” There has been a situation in your life with a certain resemblance to his, Sagittarius. Luckily, I see it ending soon. I’m not

guaranteeing that you will finally sip the water or eat the fruit, though that’s a possibility. At the very least, you’ll be allowed to walk away from the accursed place and start fresh elsewhere.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In their new book, The Truth Will Out: Unmasking the Real Shakespeare, Brenda James and William Rubinstein make an interesting case for the theory that the real author of Shakespeare’s works was the diplomat and courtier Sir Henry Neville. I’m not sufficiently knowledgeable about the subject to evaluate their arguments, but I’m pretty sure that you will soon have a feeling similar to what Neville might be having if he were alive. Some reward or credit that has long been denied you will finally be yours. Vindication is nigh.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A few weeks ago, a teenage Chinese boy put on a blindfold and walked backwards across a 650-foot steel cable suspended over the lairs of lions and tigers at a zoo. If there is an equivalent feat you’ve been dreaming about trying, Aquarius, you might want to schedule it for the coming week. Luck and magic will be available to you in abundance. Please keep in mind, though, that you’ll still need to perform your special skills with an excellence that surpasses anything you’ve managed in the past.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): From 1989 through 1991, revolution swept through the countries behind the Iron Curtain, bringing radical reform in its wake. In the West, the closest modern approximation to this outbreak was the insurrection that rocked France in 1968. At that time, millions of students and workers led protests that brought business as usual to a halt.

One of the famous pieces of graffiti that appeared on public walls during the uprising was “Be realistic: Demand the impossible.” I suggest you make that your slogan in the coming weeks, Pisces. Imagine you have the power to instigate near-miraculous changes as you fight to inject more of your highest ideals into the institutions that affect you so much.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, My girlfriend likes to read the personals in Seven Days (just for fun, she tells me), and she keeps asking me what the term “420” (as in “420-friendly” or “420-OK”) means. I don’t know what it means, but I’m sure you do! Please tell us. She is threatening to respond to one of those ads just so she can find out! The ads looking for “420” used to all be from Burlington, but now there’s one from Montpelier, too, and it’s making me really nervous.

Worried in Washington County Dear Worried, Someone who is “420-friendly” likes to smoke dope, or wouldn’t mind dating a stoner. The term literally refers to the time 4:20 p.m., when San Rafael, California, high school friends in 1971 would allegedly meet to toke up. More recently, it’s been expanded to encompass the date April 20; at UVM, mass smoke-ins and other legalization events have happened on that day, much to the chagrin of school administrators. The opposite of “420” is “substance-free,” which sounds like a reference to a ghost, but really means that someone doesn’t drink, smoke or do drugs.

Love, Lola
