WeÕre Special & We Need Your Help!

Take Home a Bonded Pair, or Two Cats....

From 10/17/06 to 11/18/06, a Friend of the Shelter Will Donate the Cast of the Second Adoption.

Talk about a pair of purrfect pets! Does your home need two snuggle bears? Then Kyle and Tiffany would love to meander into your life. This classy brother and sister pair not only like to groom each other, but wouldn’t mind having you give them a hand. “If we lay on our backs will you scratch our bellies?”

Can you resist two pairs of blue eyes? Sake and Thai hope not!

They are shameless attention seekers, especially Thai, who just wants to be petted, loved, and stroked. Most Siamese love to hear the sound of their own voices, but they would rather hear you talk to them….they will just interject a little. You would never know they are eight by the way they scoot after toys. Thai is very protective of Sake, so a home without other cats is the home for them.

Left out with the trash.

Isabel and her kittens were found under a Dumpster. She can be a little timid when meeting new people, but a few pats and that is all she needs. She has been at the shelter for four months being a wonderful mom to her babies. Now that they have all found homes its time for someone to show her that same kind of love and devotion. Is that person you?

Mirror,mirror on the wall, Roxie is the fairest one of them all. Roxie is a spayed female Husky who loves to show her moxie. She’s already learned the “sit” command and will do well in a house with kids of all ages.

She even likes cats! Pet that beautiful coat once and your heart is hers.

Found abandoned, weak and dehydrated on the side of the road, we later discovered that Emmy had just given birth to puppies that could not be found. She is house trained, loves rides in cars, gives kisses and is always up for a game of ball. Watch out you retrievers! For a delicate lady, she is very strong so she is looking for a home with older children and no cats.

Her ball is already packed!

Jake’s tail never stops wiggling and it jiggles his whole belly. A housekeeper was generous enough to take him to HSCC when he was abandoned in a motel room. Food used to be his #1 passion, but now it’s romping with his new pals. Jake loves his toys, and enthusiastically welcomes everyone.

MAGOG NIGHTS So I’m back from an overnight shoot in Magog, Quebec.

I’m working on this very interesting project involving early, tentative steps towards the digitization of human consciousness. No shit. The work is for a nonprofit foundation called Terasem, which is “endowed for the purpose of educating the public on the practicality and necessity of greatly extending human life, consistent with diversity and unity, via geoethical nanotechnology and personal cyberconsciousness.”

Whoa. We were interviewing Martine Rothblatt, the foundation’s founder, who started the Sirius Satellite Network as well as several other successful ventures.

Anyway, we were shooting the interviews in Magog and Martine and her partner Bina took us out to dinner at this amazing Italian restaurant. It wasn’t very crowded, but there was a large group in a side room that arrived about when we did. They were apparently from a film crew shooting in the area. The restaurant’s owner informed us that Christopher Plummer and Susan Sarandon were at the table. As we sat talking, I noticed another familiar face seated with the film folks, Ming the Mercil... I mean Max Von Sydow.

Then our little film crew went out to what appeared to be the only bar in town and saw a really bad Green Day cover band. I realized later that I’d been tipping my server way too much because I was unfamiliar with those wacky Canadian coins. She did, however, treat me like a king.

COMMUNITY VALUES I just read your “Paddy Warbucks” article from October 11.

I am an economic development consultant and have been very involved with bringing the two companies — Seldon Labs and Olympic Precision/Center for Precision Manufacturing — to Windsor. These are two of the companies you mentioned in your article that have received significant DoD contracts with the assistance of Senator Leahy and his staff.

I am also a long time antiwar activist and liberal Democrat whose children went to Quaker schools in Philadelphia.

This is an issue I struggled with long and hard when the opportunities to bring these two companies to Windsor arose. I gave serious thought to stepping back from my involvement in Windsor because I was personally uncomfortable with where funding would have to come from to support their activities.

In the end, I threw myself into the effort. In part this was because I have tremendous respect for Senator Leahy and his commitment to (1) ending the war in Iraq; (2) revitalizing struggling communities like Windsor; and (3) improving the economy of Vermont through his good offices.

I also felt, as a former community organizer, that it is not my “place” to decide for a community what it wants. Windsor is very clear that what it wants is to regain

BANG FOR THE BUCKS Ken Picard’s Oct. 11 story, “Paddy Warbucks,” strikes me as admirably comprehensive and well researched. The title, however, is unfortunate. Most people are aware that “Paddy” is an offensive term for someone Irish or of Irish descent (I understand that it rhymes with “Daddy” and has

the economic security it had when it was the birthplace of precision manufacturing and home to manufacturing companies that employed more than 1500 people in a town of 4000.

Not only did Senator Leahy (and Senator Jefffords) support these projects, but so, too, did all three Windsor County senators (Welch, Dunne and Campbell), all of whom are progressive (with a small p) Democrats.

Seldon and OPI/CPM offer the possibility that Windsor’s dream could become a reality. It meant a lot of good, clean jobs and the possibility of finally becoming a part of the high-tech boom that radiates out from Lebanon and Hanover, N.H. I don’t think that it is up to others to try and undermine that dream. Senator Leahy and his wonderful staff understand that and support it, and the senator is a hero for that reason.

been used at times as a nickname for Patrick).

The column raises issues that are not really addressed. For one, what sources of federal funding are available these days to economic developers for jump-starting Vermont’s economy? My impression is that the sources are almost exclusively DoD — and homeland securityrelated. Yes, it may be “suckling at the Pentagon’s teat,” but it may be the only teat in town, thanks to the present administration in Washington.

Secondly, the whole question of multiplier effects is touched on only superficially. Does the quality of the jobs created enter into these estimates? What about R&D multiplier effects? For example, the water “filtration” (a misnomer) systems developed by Seldon Industries for the Air Force have enormous potential for commercial and (non-military) public water and air purification applications, here and in the developing world.

If it wasn’t for the defense-related ARPAnet, would the Internet have been created when it was?

Similarly, the Center for Precision Manufacturing has the potential (and goal) of advancing precision manufacturing techniques in the American commercial sector. This may be one of the few ways that the U.S. can maintain global competitiveness. It’s regrettable that the capacity needs to be developed in this way, but it’s unlikely to happen in any other

PAT WHO? Your “Paddy Warbucks” piece [October 11] was right on the money. Finally, someone has the guts to say that Leahy is not nearly the liberal he is perceived to be by so-called Vermont progressives.

On war and peace, you can have any kind of Leahy you want — the hawk, the dove, the antiwar advocate, the Norwich University

cheerleader, the guy who announces every new General Dynamics contract with glee, the guy who supports Israel unconditionally.

Leahy is a world-class prostitute disguised as a political liberal.

Great piece!

CRUEL CUISINE We were appalled to read that the Blue Star Café in Winooski offers

foie gras, and equally disappointed that Seven Days’ editors chose to feature that as a selling point to highlight this establishment.

Chicago recently passed a city ordinance banning the sale of foie gras due to the inhumane treatment of ducks and geese.

Foie gras is made by force-feeding ducks and/or geese so that their liver expands to 10 times its normal size. There is no humane manner in which to attain this desired result. Companies and restaurants that sell or cook this culinary monstrosity support the

continued cruelty to animals.

Shame on the Blue Star for offering this as a meal choice, and shame on Seven Days for calling attention to Blue Star’s menu without providing adequate information on such a barbaric practice. We like to think that the people of Chittenden County are at least as progressive, it not more so, than those in Chicago, and if properly informed would choose to create a similar law or ordinance in this area.

Bobby & Aly Riley WINOOSKI

CANDIDATE DEAN I was amused to read Peter Freyne’s mention of Kate O’Connor’s recollection of Howard Dean’s initial presidential aspirations [“Inside Track,” October 11]. According to Kate, it wasn’t until early 2001 that Dean decided he wanted to be president. Either Dean never confided in his closest confidant/ aide /assistant about his plans, or Peter’s recollection is faulty, or I’m just psychic.

Besides being the founder/chair of the Vermont Grassroots Party (VGP) from 1992 to 2000, I was the VGP gubernatorial nominee in the ’94 and ’96 election. In one of the few debates in which I was

invited to participate — thank you, Channel 17, for allowing Vermonters to hear all candidates to be heard — I sarcastically wished Dean well on his presidential aspirations in the year 2000 or 2004. I could tell Howard Dean was just another arrogant, career politician with big plans.

Howard just smiled when I commented on his presidential ambitions. It was interesting to see our moderate “Republican” governor transform into the liberal/populist Democratic candidate in 2002. If it weren’t for the infamous scream in Iowa, Howard might have become the Democratic nominee for president — but it wouldn’t have helped him, what with Diebold (major Republican contributors) counting the votes!

Interestingly, or ironic enough, I was nominated by our sister Minnesota Grassroots Party to become the presidential candidate in 2004. I then became one of 14 Americans to be on the ballot against Bush. I knew Bush was going to be bad, but even I had no idea that every one of his policies would be a Katrina!

MONTPELIER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Several Vermont businesses and nonprofit institutions have cancelled their memberships in the Vermont Chamber of Commerce over the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;pro-businessâ&#x20AC;? political action committee, or PAC, aimed at defeating mostly Democratic legislative candidates in the November election.

At least half a dozen Chamber members, including some of Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest employers, have withdrawn from the statewide business-advocacy group. Among them are Fletcher Allen Health Care, the University of Vermont, Norwich University, the Vermont Student Assistance Corp., the Association of Vermont

Sinagra says. The names will become public information on October 25 when campaign fundraising reports are filed with the Vermont Secretary of Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office.

Regardless of whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting VBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money, some members of the Vermont Chamber clearly are uncomfortable with the appearance of meddling in partisan politics. Fletcher Allen spokesperson Mike Noble says the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest hospital â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and its second-largest employer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pulled out of the Chamber because federal law pro-

Independent Colleges and NRG Systems of Hinesburg. Meanwhile, other Chamber members have distanced themselves from the PAC and/or denied prior knowledge of its activities.

The PAC, known as the Vermont Business Coalition, has come under criticism since its formation two months ago. At an August 24 press conference, VBC identified 57 legislative candidates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 56 Democrats and one Progressive â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as having what the VBC considers a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sub-par voting recordâ&#x20AC;? on business-related issues.

VBC is composed of 14 business and trade associations, including the Vermont Chamber of Commerce. VBC Director Joe Sinagra, of the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Northern Vermont, denies that the coalition is â&#x20AC;&#x153;targetingâ&#x20AC;? specific candidates. Rather, the PAC is working to help candidates who support lowering taxes on the business community, according to Sinagra. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;going afterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; anyone,â&#x20AC;? Sinagra says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not doing any negative campaigning or anything like that. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to take the high road.â&#x20AC;?

Sinagra wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t identify who VBC is supporting, but he claims the list includes both Democrats and Republicans, though no Progressives or Independents.

Asked why he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t name the recipient candidates, he says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;stigmaâ&#x20AC;? attached to being labeled pro-business in the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;businessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has

hibits nonprofit organizations from engaging in political activities. That decision had nothing to do with which candidates or political parties VBC is endorsing, Noble points out.

Karen Meyer, UVMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice president for state and federal relations, says that the university â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third-largest employer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also decided to distance itself from the Chamber because it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to risk its nonprofit status with the IRS. She says the decision was not influenced by the fact that three of the 57 lawmakers on VBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad-for-business list are UVM trustees.

The nature and tone of VBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign has troubled some members. VSAC, which had belonged to the Vermont Chamber of Commerce since 2002, left the ranks because it, too, is a nonprofit agency. But according to spokesperson Irene Racz, VSACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board also found certain aspects of the PAC â&#x20AC;&#x153;troubling.â&#x20AC;? Specifically, the board questioned the accuracy of VBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s data and the votes it used to challenge lawmakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pro-business credentials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not the way Vermont does business,â&#x20AC;? Racz says about VBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislative scorecard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all one degree of separation here.â&#x20AC;?

Other members of the Chamber say they will continue supporting the organization, despite the recent dustup. Jo Bradley is executive director of the Vermont Economic Development Authority, a quasi-public agency that reports annually to the governor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;VEDA is a member of the

Vermont Chamber for very good reasons,â&#x20AC;? Bradley says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an apolitical body and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get involved in these kinds of discussions.â&#x20AC;? When asked to clarify VEDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position vis-Ă -vis political activities, Bradley said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have my statement,â&#x20AC;? and hung up the phone.

Duane Marsh is president of the 1600-member Vermont Chamber of Commerce. He wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comment on which or how many businesses have resigned from his organization over this brouhaha, except to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some gains and some losses, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been about break-even up to this point.â&#x20AC;?

Marsh explains that the Chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to join the VBC was made by him, in consultation with other VBC members. He adds that the issue wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discussed beforehand with the Chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government affairs committee.

Marsh admits that the move has caused consternation among some Chamber members. Nevertheless, he remains committed to VBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem is, this whole thing got off the issues and onto individuals,â&#x20AC;? Marsh says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about Democrats, Republicans or Progressives. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about, will you do the things that will help make Vermont become a stronger and sounder economy so that we can provide jobs for people?â&#x20AC;?

But some longtime Democrats arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buying Marshâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rationale.

Chuck Lacy is a prominent Vermont businessman, filmmaker and husband of House Speaker Gaye Symington (Dâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jericho). Lacy is highly critical of VBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pro-business scorecard, saying its narrow focus ignores many of the other issues vitally important to Vermont businesses, such as promoting the creative economy, expanding broadband coverage, lowering airfares and improving higher education. This PAC, Lacy says, exposes the Chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;right-wing agenda.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some organizations that claim to be nonpartisan have a real decision to make,â&#x20AC;? Lacy adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a member of the Vermont Chamber of Commerce to say that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not involved in this campaign is absolutely false. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re involved because Duane Marsh says theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re involved.â&#x20AC;?

Lacy denies that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just doing the dirty work for Symington and other Democrats and insists his wife didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that he was calling local businesses to gauge their level of support or opposition to the VBC. As he puts it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been making cookies for 10 years. This just put me over the edge because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re basically labeling Democrats as anti-business.â&#x20AC;?

But Sinagra, who says he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know Lacy, counters that his organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support of some candidates is comparable to the support organized labor gives to pro-union candidates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no different from the Vermont NEA endorsing Bernie Sanders,â&#x20AC;?

Sinagra says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Does every school teacher in Vermont support Bernie Sanders? No. Do all of our members support all of the candidates weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be backing? No.â&#x20AC;?

»news At Middlebury College, the Jury’s Out on the Head Supreme

BY KEVIN J. KELLEY

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury College continues its tradition of hosting talks by headline names when Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts gives an address next Tuesday in Mead Chapel.

Another tradition — of students protesting the college’s choices of conservative speakers — also looks to be on track.

Discussion groups have been meeting over the past few weeks to strategize how to alert students about why “it’s really crucial to do something” about Roberts’ visit to Middlebury, says senior Liz Lyon, a protest organizer. She’s hoping hundreds will turn out to oppose “the trend of inviting right-wing speakers” to the college, and to defend abortion rights and civil liberties, both of which may be restricted during the current term of the Roberts court.

Lyon also expects some students to unfurl protest banners inside the chapel, as occurred when alumnus Ari Fleischer, then the White House press secretary, spoke during the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. Protests also took place at Middlebury graduation ceremonies the past two years in response to the conservative records of featured speakers Rudolph Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, and UNICEF director Ann Veneman, a former agriculture secretary in the Bush administration.

But it’s not clear that Roberts’ appearance will occasion the same sizable and vocal dissent that

greeted Fleischer in 2002. “At that time he was a lightning rod for people who wanted to show objection to Bush’s Iraq policy,” says Jonathan Isham, a Middlebury economics professor. “Whether Roberts will serve as a lightning rod remains to be seen.”

The 51-year-old chief justice is “very smart and also very much below the radar,” Lyon says.

“That’s what’s so scary about him.”

To Middlebury College President Ron Liebowitz, Roberts’ presence on campus is consistent with the school’s responsibility to “encourage diverse dialogue among the next generation of leaders.” The chief justice’s acceptance of an invitation to take part in an endowed annual lecture series also ringingly affirms Middlebury’s status as an elite academic institution.

The authentic diversity of the dialogue cited by Liebowitz can be questioned, however. Past speakers in the annual series have included James Baker, secretary of state under Bush the elder, and William Rehnquist, appointed by Richard Nixon as Roberts’ predecessor.

In addition to a ruling in the coming months on a federal law banning “partial birth abortion,” Middlebury students should be concerned about the Roberts court’s attitude regarding U.S. military tribunals, Lyon suggests.

The Supremes are also scheduled to hear two cases in the coming

months related to laws intended to combat global warming.

Lyon, a leader of a campus group called Incarceration in Question, was inspired to help organize a Roberts protest primarily because of her involvement in prison-rights issues. Her activism stems from a belief that “If you want to understand what’s wrong with society, you go to where it’s worst — prisons and mental institutions.”

Outsiders wishing to hear Roberts speak for 30 minutes on an undisclosed topic — and to take audience questions for an additional 15 minutes — may have to view the event on closedcircuit television. Mead Chapel, with a capacity of about 750, will be open initially only to those presenting a Middlebury College ID. Spokesman Mike McKenna says the college expects students, faculty and staff to fill the chapel.

About 400 additional seats will be available at two satellite venues on the 2400-student campus.

The college is advising anyone interested in watching a televised version of Roberts’ address to arrive at Bicentennial or Dana Hall 45 minutes before the scheduled start at 8:15 p.m.

Security checks may prove rigorous, as well. The chief justice’s own set of bodyguards will be on hand, along with the usual security personnel the college deploys for major events. Rehnquist, who summered in Vermont, often went without. �

GOTCHA COVERED Independent congressional candidate and aerial photographer Jerry Trudell picketed Burlington Free Press headquarters Tuesday, complaining that his candidacy is being ignored by the state’s largest daily. At times Trudell, who champions public transportation and renewable energy, walked in front of traffic on College Street to wave his sign and shout, “The people have a right to know!”

His action drew reporters from Channel 5, the Vermont Guardian and Seven Days.

But Free Press Executive Editor Mike Townsend questions whether Trudell is worth covering. He points out that the candidate didn’t respond to the paper’s request for a bio to put on its website, and notes that Trudell has never written a letter to the editor. He adds that, as far as he knows, Free Press reporters have not seen Trudell at any of the candidate debates. “I’m not sure I’d call that credible,” he says. “If papers want to waste their time with this candidate, go ahead.”

UVM, S. Burlington Join Forces to Rein in Water Woes

BY KEN PICARD

SOUTH BURLINGTON — Hundreds, if not thousands, of South Burlington homes are out of compliance with Vermont’s stormwater-management laws, and city officials and residents have teamed up with experts from the University of Vermont to find innovative solutions to clean up their creeks, dry out their basements and ease their legal headaches.

their basements.

These problems don’t just affect residents. The state is under pressure from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to comply with the federal Clean Water Act. About two-thirds of the pollution that ends up in Vermont’s lakes, rivers and streams is the result of untreated runoff, which carries sediment, lawn chemicals, pesticides, oil and

More than 3000 South Burlington homes lie in the five impaired watersheds running through the city.

South Burlington is considered “ground zero” for stormwater problems in Vermont, according to Juli Beth Hinds, director of the city’s Department of Planning and Zoning. More than 3000 South Burlington homes lie in the five impaired watersheds running through the city, Hinds points out. Some residents also face problems with seasonal flooding in

grease from vehicles, animal waste and other contaminants.

Currently, Hinds says, the most acute stormwater problems can be found in the Butler Farms and Oak Creek Village subdivisions, where 253 households are facing a September 2007 deadline to renew their long-expired stormwater permits. If the permits aren’t renewed, homeowners could have

trouble selling their houses — or at least face complications that could drive down real-estate values.

Though experts say it’s unlikely the legislature would allow all transfers of property in South Burlington to grind to a halt, some of the proposed solutions to the stormwater woes won’t come cheaply. One proposal, which calls for the construction of a large stormwater retention pond at the end of the neighborhood, or several medium-sized ponds, could cost residents at least $5000 per household. This solution would likely address the problems of poor water quality in the watershed, though it wouldn’t necessarily fix the problems of leaky basements.

To address the problem, South Burlington has partnered with Breck Bowden, a UVM professor of watershed science and planning, who runs a federally funded project known as RAN, or “Redesigning the American Neighborhood.” The goal of RAN, Bowden explains, is to both assess the water quality in the Potash Brook Watershed and to help South Burlington residents identify all their stormwater-remedy options.

For example, Bowden has suggested managing the water closer to its source using low-impact methods such as rain barrels, rain gardens and specially designed wetlands. These methods capture stormwater and sediment runoff at the household level, reducing and perhaps even eliminating the need for larger and costlier infrastructure improvements.

It’s still unknown how effective these lower-impact methods would be at cleaning up South Burlington’s watersheds, Bowden admits. And, there’s no guarantee that the state will sign off on these solutions. However, similar methods to deal with localized flooding have been adopted in Chicago, where residents there can purchase rain barrels from the city for as little as $20.

It’s also unclear which solution, or combination of solutions, the residents of Butler Farms and Oak Creek Village would prefer.

While other neighborhoods in South Burlington have embraced the concept of low-impact stormwater management, others may balk at the idea of altering the traditional suburban landscape. “We’ve got a lot of people who really like their big, green lawns,” Hinds says. “And, when you get into individual aesthetics, you’re really getting people where they live.”

Ultimately, the decision will be left to the residents themselves — and that presents problems of its own. Unlike other subdivisions and condo communities in South Burlington, Butler Farms and Oak Creek have no neighborhood associations. UVM, the city and residents have formed a Stormwater Study Group to evaluate all the options and conduct a neighborhood survey to gauge neighbors’ preferences. In the next few weeks the residents will be presented with various options and asked to choose which ones they think best hold water. �

Bad Timing — No question Marvelous Martha Rainville would have been a bigger threat to Ol’ Bernardo than Rich Tyrant, who’s turned into no threat at all.

Yours truly was watching TV with the sound down the other day when the bright and beautiful Rainville Lake Champlain ad came on, the one where she’s walking and

★

★ talking by the lakefront in Burlington’s New North End, and paddling, too!

Visit our website for current menu: Without the sound and political verbiage, www.paulinescafe.com it looked like a Claritin commercial. My air passages were opening!

LUNCH Rainville Press Secretary Brendan DINNER McKenna called that particular ad, which BRUNCH is getting wide play, “a great confluence of 1834 Shelburne Rd. the message on the environment.”

So. Burlington 862-1081 It was produced by Paul Curcio of 2x5-designerscirc101806 10/16/06 11:00 AM Page 1 Stevens Reed Curcio & Potholm. Check them out at http://srcpmedia.com. It’s all about what they call “the Politics of 2x5-paulines101106.indd 1 10/10/06 9:28:05 AM Persuasion.” And it works.

Just ask Democrat John Kerry.

The same firm created the Swift Boat ads that smeared Vietnam vet John Kerry, but McKenna noted that Curcio had “absolutely nothing” to do with that project.

“We hired Paul Curcio for his work, and he had no part in the Swift Boat ads,” he said.

Cool. Great ad. But with unexpected difficulties arising on matters stretching from plagiarism to porn, this one appears to be slipping away from Rainville.

One could almost see it in her eyes Monday as she appeared with former New Jersey Governor and EPA chief Christie Todd Whitman at Champlain College.

This dynamic duo of “women on the right” attracted as many journalists as it did students — all of nine!

Democrat polls are showing Peter Welch with a double-digit lead. It’s been growing. However, Democrats are not believing their polls as gospel, kicking back 52B Church Street, Burlington and taking it easy to the finish line. Make Across from Burlington Town Center no mistake, the Dems appreciate and 802.864.4238 respect Rainville’s talents. Democratic U.S. Mon-Fri 10-6 Sen. Patrick Leahy tried to recruit her, Sat 10-5, Closed Sun but Ronald Reagan and Jim Douglas Your Custom Design & Diamond Gallery www.vermontjeweler.com got in the way.

Her leadership skills are indeed impressive. After all, as an aircraft maintenance officer, Rainville has always commanded males. As she told the students, when she was growing up, “My sisters called me bossy.”

Never heard anyone call Peter Welch “bossy,” have ya?

Vermont Republicans Hanging On? ot a good year to be a Republican, eh?

In general, no, but there are exceptions.

The general strategy appears to be one of laying low — like the suddenly sinking gasoline prices, which 47 percent of Americans believe is nothing but an election ploy by the Bush White House.

Well, if you were them, the BushCheney team, wouldn’t you do it? If you were Big Oil and you just took in the greatest annual profit in recorded human history, wouldn’t you show a timely gesture of generosity and wisdom? After all, holding power is an honorable cause, isn’t it?

The facts are that last year Exxon-Mobil alone took in $371 billion — that’s billion, with a “b”. The oil giant’s reported profit for the year was $36 billion. That’s the largest annual profit any company has ever reported.

The entire gross product of the great state of Vermont is $23 billion. Yet we heard not a peep in Congress about a windfall profits tax. Mes amis, that scene is going to change on November 7, and Big Oil and the Republican Party know it.

Right now for the Rs, both national and local, it’s all about reducing the Election 2006 damage. What’s a few weeks of lower gasoline prices if it preserves the Empire?

It’s 20 days until the votes are counted.

The tension mounts. One can feel it in the air — the looming showdown with destiny.

Getting the good ol’ USA back on track!

So many we meet around Burlap have expressed their silent fear that the bad guys — these worst of the worst — will hold onto power and we’ll have them running America into the ground, unrestrained for another two years.

Our reliable Washington sources tell us this week that the Democrats will definitely take back the House of Representatives and are looking “real good” in the Senate.

We’ve already declared Vermont’s open U.S. Senate seat going to Independent Rep. Bernie Sanders in a landslide. His Republican opponent Rich Tyrant, er, Tarrant, is a man of few words and a whole lot of money. Too bad it couldn’t have been put to more productive use, eh?

At the lively Brattleboro debate between Tarrant and Sanders last week, Moderator Sabina Haskell gave Mr. Tyrant three minutes for a closing statement. He said everything he had to say in 90 seconds. A man of few words. Very strange. Sabina had to cut Bernie off after four minutes.

As Freeps old-timer Sam Hemingway reported on Saturday, Richie Rich is on track to make the record books for spending more money per vote received than any politician in U.S. history!

Way to go, Richie — shelling out more than $25 per vote will make you No.1 in at least one category!

Congratulations.

GOP Victories in Vermont — Despite the enormous anti-Bush feeling in the Green Mountains, it looks at the moment like Republican Gov. Jim Douglas and Republican Lt. Governor Brian Dubie will both slide into the winner’s circle on November 7.

But this is Vermont, right? How will they do it?

Gov. Douglas will do it by keeping as low a profile as he can, with as few open-ended press conferences and as many photo-op/ ribbon-cuttings as possible on his schedule.

The only statewide TV debate he has to worry about will be next Wednesday, October 25, on WPTZ — you know, the TV station with its headquarters parked over in Plattsburgh, New York. “Vermont’s Own,” WCAX Ch. 3, is taking a pass on the Vermont Guv’s race.

Democrat Scudder Parker looking smart and out-dueling Jimbo on key isues, the better, eh?

But, ironically, Douglas is also getting help from Scudder. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first statewide race, and it shows. His campaign team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; very nice folks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are, like the state, also rather green. Parkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategy also seems at times to rely on keeping a low profile, mediawise, while meeting with Vermonters in small groups.

To have a shot in this one, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d suggest, Parker needed to be much more in Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; face. He needed to use â&#x20AC;&#x153;freeâ&#x20AC;? media, the stuff the mainstream press, including WCAX, simply could not avoid.

He needed to be the Scud Missile that worked. Lord knows there are enough soft spots in the Jim Douglas façade to attack, eh?

Gov. Scissorhandsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; negatives are in the 40 percent-plus range.

But the voters in the middle, the ones Scudder needs to get to switch, just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know him well enough. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to hear more about him and hear more from him. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d wish heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d crack a smile in his TV ad.

Yours truly knew it was over for Parker when this week began without a press conference on the Democratic challengerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule.

If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything Gov. Douglas does not want to do at the moment, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s respond to incoming charges questioning his performance and policies, from wind energy to wilderness protection and his cozy relationship with certain special interests.

Plus, neither Parker nor his campaign responded to Commerce Sec. Kevin Dornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter in Seven Days last week in which Dorn accused Parker of â&#x20AC;&#x153;inaccuraciesâ&#x20AC;? in statements about funding for housing.

Instead, we got a call from Progressive State Rep. David Zuckerman of Burlington, who was shocked and angry that Dorn â&#x20AC;&#x153;was taking credit for work that neither he nor the Douglas administration has anything to do with.â&#x20AC;?

In fact, said Dave the Prog, the Douglas administration has over the last four years proposed million-dollar budget cuts for housing-conservation programs.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the Dems and Progs under the Golden Dome whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put the money in the budget.

The Douglas administration, said Zuckerman, â&#x20AC;&#x153;makes statements but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t back them up.â&#x20AC;?

P.S. On deadline Tuesday afternoon, we got word that Scudderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing a housing presser Wednesday. Too little, too late?

Dubie Plays Defense â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Over in the Lite-Gov race, the three major party candidates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Incumbent Republican Brian Dubie, Democrat Matt Dunne and Progressive Martin Malek, went at it on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Mark Johnson Showâ&#x20AC;? Tuesday morning on WDEV. Or rather, Dunne and Dubie went at it.

Sen. Dunne questioned how much work Doobie-Doo, the airline pilot and Army Reserve officer, actually puts in on the State of Vermont clock. Dunne prom-

ised he would do more than take a paycheck year-round for a parttime job. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d make Lite-Gov a full-time job!

Things got pretty testy.

Dunneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thirtysomething state senator from eastern Vermont whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already shown promise as a twentysomething House member who then became the top gun at AmeriCorpsVISTA in Washington.

Despite the uphill odds, Dunneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s giving it everything heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got, in every moment he has to spare. His campaign put out a release an hour after the WDEV debate declaring, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dunne Emerges Victorious in Debate.â&#x20AC;?

Unfortunately for Dunne, the olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Doobster ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t showing up for many of them. Democrat Dunne has asked for 11 public debates with the incumbent. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only getting five.

Well, if you were in Brian Dubieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoes, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you do the same thing?

Got to admire the â&#x20AC;&#x153;no quitâ&#x20AC;? in Young Dunne. And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned the Democrat will announce today, as Seven Days hits the streets, that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s won the Vermont Troopersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Foundation endorsement, which Republican Dubie had in 2004.

Said Trooper Union President Sgt. Mike Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neil, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dunneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support for law-enforcement issues and the Vermont Troopersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Foundationâ&#x20AC;? made them switch horses.

Interesting. But likely too little, too late, eh?

Auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Race â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Not catching any signs that incumbent Republican Randy Brock has a problem. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always nice for a Republican to have a Democrat and a Progressive on the ballot, and Tom Salmon and Martha Abbott are filling that bill.

Salmon, son of former governor and University of Vermont President (and Saratoga Racetrack aficionado) Tom Salmon, has an interesting TV ad. He stands in front of a a painted, one-dimensional bookcase shade.

Why would a statewide candidate for an office whose responsibility is to ensure the state budget is spent the way itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to use a flimsy fake bookcase in his campaign commercial?

Leg Man Down â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Not an easy year to be a Republican, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all there is to it. Burlington State Rep. Kurt Wright is recovering from a serious leg injury sustained on the Burlington Bike Path behind Pleasant Avenue six weeks ago. (Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen him!)

Kurt told â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Trackâ&#x20AC;? he touched wheels with a fellow biker (whom he declined to identify) and went down hard.

Wright sustained a â&#x20AC;&#x153;severe bone contusion,â&#x20AC;? but no structural damage. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kept him from doing something he loves to do: campaign door-to-door in his New North End district. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t totally bend it,â&#x20AC;? said the Queen Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only Republican legislator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Physical therapists,â&#x20AC;? he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;really do great work.â&#x20AC;?

Even without the door-to-

door, Rep. Wright and incumbent district-mate Bill Aswad, an 85year-old Democrat, appear heavy favorites to win another two years of wintertime fun under Montpeculiarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Golden Dome.

Media Notes I â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tonight, Wednesday, October 18, is the night, and at 7 p.m. weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d suggest the place to be is Borders Books in Burlington. Why? To catch one of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alltime top-shelf political cartoonists â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jeff Danziger. The former Vermont school teacher, who now haunts Hellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen on Manhattanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s West Side, will present a digital slide show and sign copies of his new book, Blood, Debt and Fears: Cartoons of the First Half of the Last Half of the Bush Administration.

Danziger in the flesh!

Cool.

Media Notes II â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The new â&#x20AC;&#x153;Freyne Landâ&#x20AC;? Blog turns two months old this week and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become an absolute blast. Just ask WCAX-TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veteran news director and news reader Marselis Parsons. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell me youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too old to get on the Internet.

Thanks to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Freyne Land,â&#x20AC;? we had ample room to criticize â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ownâ&#x20AC;? for its decision not to air a story about Martha Rainvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign plagiarism on the day the story broke, when everyone jumped on it. Our blog coverage apparently upset Parsons and he stewed about it for a week. Then he fired off a letter to one of Seven Daysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; distinguished female co-publishers reaming out yours truly.

It opened, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peter Freyne fairly criticized us for not running the Martha Rainville aide plagiarism story last Monday, October second. It was a mistake not to run that story on that day and the responsibility is mine.â&#x20AC;?

But it went downhill from there as Parsons accused us of lying for suggesting Reporter Anson Tebbetts didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x153;fileâ&#x20AC;? a Rainville plagiarism story on Monday.

Parsons claims he did, but it got missed at 6 and, would you believe, also missed at 11?

How often does that happen at award-winning WGOP, er, WCAX-TV? Misplacing the top news story of the day? The question â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why?â&#x20AC;? remains unanswered.

The blog has also been able to inspire a few Ch. 3 viewers to contact the station about its decision not to broadcast a gubernatorial debate. Several have. Hey, just trying to be helpful. Bring folks together.

Look, yours truly likes the oldfashioned stuff like telephones connected to wires and tape recorders that actually use recording tape.

But, this Internet thing?

Our bet is, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here to stay and blogdom, here we come! ďż˝ Read â&#x20AC;&#x153;Freyne Land,â&#x20AC;? Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new political blog online at http://7d.blogs.com.

aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), quickly converts the acetaldehyde to harmless acetate. But roughly 50 percent of Japanese and other East Asians and some American Indians (but practically no Europeans or Africans) have a mutated gene that impairs ALDH activity. In these people, even a modest dose of alcohol, imbibed or endogenous, leads to acetaldehyde buildup and unpleasant symptoms: facial flushing, palpitations, dizziness, nausea, headache, and confusion. As acetaldehyde builds up, some is converted back to ethanol, retarding BAC decline. Eventually various enzymes slowly clear the acetaldehyde and the symptoms dissipate. People on drugs such as Antabuse that inhibit ALDH activity might also be subject to meitei-sho, but so far that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been documented.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely happening in the Japanese cases is a combination of high carb intake (which the Japanese diet is famous for), yeast infection, and a limited ability to metabolize the alcohol produced â&#x20AC;&#x201D; any of these alone probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do the trick. My guess is that even without considering their BAC, auto-brewery sufferers might be in no condition to drive, since theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be under the influence of acetaldehyde.

The legal implications of all this vary. Generally, driving while impaired for any reason (including tiredness or taking legal medications) is against the law. Ignorance that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re impaired, which arguably might apply in the case of auto-brewery syndrome, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily a defense â&#x20AC;&#x201D; impaired-driving laws in many states donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require the element of intent. As a practical matter, the potential consequences of EE are of greatest concern to those subject to so-called zero-tolerance laws â&#x20AC;&#x201D; mainly drivers under 21, who may face sanctions for driving with a BAC greater than zero, .01, or .02 percent, depending on the state. Those with candidiasis and low ALDH activity (for genetic or pharmaceutical reasons) can exceed those levels. If that describes you, maybe you should think seriously about that skateboard.

If not, disregard the wacky factlets and remember that only knuckleheads drink and drive.

You have to wonder what goes on in the minds of the people who write safety posters. One of the little researchers reports seeing a poster at school warning that a commuter train â&#x20AC;&#x153;weighs 5x more than all the players in the NFL combined,â&#x20AC;? the thought evidently being that a significant fraction of adolescents doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know getting hit by a train could hurt. Similarly, what message are you supposed to draw from the poster you cite â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you could get wasted just sitting there, so you might as well drink up?

Endogenous ethanol (EE) production is a normal phenomenon, but except in rare cases the amounts are minute. Studies of healthy abstainers peg blood alcohol concentration (BAC) from EE at less â&#x20AC;&#x201D; often much less â&#x20AC;&#x201D; than .004 percent, which itself is only a 20th of the usual U.S. legal limit of .08 percent.

Where does EE come from? While thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some evidence that small amounts are formed inside cells as metabolic intermediaries or products, mostly itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manufactured in the mobile fermentation vat known as your gut. Some of the tiny things that live in there, especially yeasts, are constantly munching ingested carbs and churning out booze. The body absorbs this normally modest volume of EE and it goes straight to the liver, where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s metabolized. Barring unusual circumstances, very little EE makes it to the rest of the body.

To get a significant BAC from EE alone would require increased fermentation, diminished ability to metabolize alcohol, or (probably) both. In Japan since the 1950s there have been dozens of published case reports of people feeling drunk after eating carbohydrates such as rice, a condition called meitei-sho or, in English, auto-brewery syndrome. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking: great â&#x20AC;&#x201D; free sake. Not quite. It comes with a price.

In almost every case in one review, intestinal overgrowth of candida or other yeasts was identified as the cause. Most patients had undergone some sort of gastrointestinal surgery â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such procedures sometimes result in increased fermentation thanks to blind loops left in the intestine, where microbes can eat and multiply undisturbed. In most cases not involving prior surgery, some other abnormality was noted, such as low stomach acidity.

Auto-brewery syndrome has never been convincingly reported outside Japan. Why? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about enzymes. When the liver processes ethanol, the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase first converts it to acetaldehyde. In most people a second enzyme,

Dear Cecil, Recently, a safety poster at work published the following information: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Myth: People who abstain from alcohol are alcohol-free, and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be arrested for DUI. Fact: False.

People continuously produce alcohol inside their own bodies, a process called endogenous ethanol production.

In some cases, enough alcohol can be produced to lead to intoxication.â&#x20AC;? What?! You mean even if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the designated driver, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still running the risk of getting a DUI? Help me out, Cecil; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m considering going back to my skateboard to avoid a bio-induced drunk-driving accident.

S

o, what’s your guess? Do you think the Republican leadership had former Representative Gerry Studds (D-Mass.) murdered over the weekend? Or do you think Studds just dropped dead from shock, hearing right-wing pundits, members of Congress and assorted raging nutcases bring up his ancient affair with a fully consenting, of-age, former male page on Capitol Hill, in an effort to blame “the Democrats” for the scandal now surrounding disgraced Republican Congressman Mark Foley of Florida?

Well? Do you think the Republicans had Studds killed in order to get his “sordid tale” back in the headlines? I wouldn’t put it past them. This was after they realized they couldn’t blame the congressional pages for Foley’s “inappropriate” and “over-friendly” attention to their bodies — their first response to the crisis — and after they found that nobody gives a damn anymore about Ted Kennedy and Chappaquiddick, never mind Clinton and Lewinsky. And that no matter when Dennis Hastert was “informed” of Foley’s “problem,” the buck really does stop with him and he should be out on his ass faster than you can say “Anita Bryant.”

(Sorry, kids — Anita was a ’70s thing.)

“What about Gerry Studds!?” the Republi-swine all scream in unison, glancing at their “talking points.” As if Studds hadn’t come fully clean about his “illicit behavior” when he was first confronted with it in 1983 (although the affair in question took place years before that). As if the Democratic Party hadn’t immediately issued a motion of censure.

As if Studds himself hadn’t shown up for that censure, rather than locking himself in rehab on a claim of “alcoholism” and “childhood sexual abuse.” And as if he hadn’t then gone straight to his constituency in (working-class) Massachusetts and asked them if they thought he was fit to represent their interests in Congress.

They overwhelmingly did, four more times, and thus allowed Gerry to become “the first openly gay congressman in United States history.” Of which we could use plenty more, thank you, instead of all the closeted, fake-moral, pseudo-religious, creepy-crawly, colognedrenched poofters that infest the GOP from top to bottom — to an extent quite well known inside the Beltway, and around any boot camp you can think of.

Harrumph! As Sidney Blumenthal wrote in Salon when the Foley scandal broke, the Republican Party is “the biggest walk-in closet in town,” and there isn’t anyone within 50 miles of Washington, D.C., who doesn’t know it.

The upcoming gay purges will be fun to watch, I suppose, in a grim kind of way, but I promise you they won’t have any lasting effect. Any greased-up “bachelor” in denial — about the Republicans, I

Call or stop by mean — will still find a way to slide his fingers through the cracks of the party’s for details! façade, forgiving the expression. (As my one and only gay Republican friend, a 20 W. Canal, Winooski black attorney on Capitol Hill, says so 655-2399 precisely, “Ain’t nothin’ so pretty as a white boy with LIPS!”) OK. I guess I’m not really serious 8/11/06 12:35:31 PM about the Republicans murdering Gerry 2x4-woolenmill081606.indd 1 Studds, although, as everyone knows, a cornered beast is the most dangerous of Heirloom Quality Furniture kind, and these suckers are cornered right now, on every front — Foley, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, the economy, corruption, global warming, you name it. They’re ruled by an increasingly brain-dead president, an insane vice-president, a maniacal secretary of defense, a string of lobbyists, Henry Kissinger and a bucket — no, a gushing, spurting, frothing geyser — of money.

No matter which way they find to rig the upcoming elections in their favor — and I fear they will — the Rs will still be dangerous, because they’re out of control and haven’t got a principle to spare.

Thanks to a stupid scandal involving Factory Showroom Open to the Public “hard-ons” and the masturbatory habits of teenagers, however, a lot more people Visit Our Factory in the Highland Industrial Park now realize this than they did two weeks ago. The Republicans’ own snake, as it were, has come back to bite them. But 4 Tigan Street • Winooski watch out: They’re vicious, and they (802)655-4041 won’t go down without taking all of us www.vermontfurnituredesigns.com with them if they can.

Call for directions.

Truthfully — and with due apology to those people who think my columns are “divisive” — I believe the Republican 10/16/06 11:04:08 AM Party is capable of anything as long as it’s 2x5-vtfurnitured101806.indd 1 heinous. I know that Mr. Foley’s billiondollar attorney, David Roth, is the person in Palm Beach that everyone turns to when they’re in “deep doo-doo,” as President Bush Sr. used to say. Indeed, no one turns to Roth for any other reason — first, because he’s too expensive and, second, because he can almost guarantee them an interview with Diane Sawyer, whom he describes as his “best friend;” she can normally be counted on to spin Roth’s cases any way he wants.

I know this because Roth did that for my former brother-in-law, convicted felon Stephen Fagan, after he was charged with kidnapping his two daughters from their custodial parent, my sister, in 1998.

Diane was all too happy to present the case as a big misunderstanding — if anything, “the mother’s” fault — and Fagan as a squeaky-clean, perfectly devoted Dad. One who just happened to have four false Social Security numbers, three false passports, a mansion on South Ocean Drive, a $200,000 Ferrari and a reported annual income of $6500 — that is, the last time he filed tax returns, which was 18 years before.

My point: Foley won’t have to worry, in the end. All the rest of us will. �

Cinematic Submersion

M

arc Estrin watched 32 films in five days last week during the course of Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vermont International Film Festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That includes shorts; I counted them up,â&#x20AC;? admits the local author and activist. He got â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gold Passâ&#x20AC;? access to the event in exchange for hosting two visiting filmmakers: Libyan-born Sufyan Omeish, co-director of a documentary about Israel-Palestine and Zoltan Istvan, creator of Pawns of Paradise: Inside the Brutal Kashmir Conflict.

The annual festival is a cinematic window on the world, and its views are mostly tragic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of genocidal Darfur, war-ravaged Iraq, Indian poverty, Chinese sweatshops.

Closer to home? VIFF screens eye-opening films on death-row inmates, Anglo-Indian relations and the beef industry. The cumulative effect can be devastating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You go from problem area to problem area, and some of them are verging on intractable,â&#x20AC;?

Estrin observes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can leave a film festival like this pretty depressed.â&#x20AC;?

Or, in Estrinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, well informed. For him, the most â&#x20AC;&#x153;horrifyingâ&#x20AC;? film of all was Uganda Rising, which exposes a littleknown, ongoing, human-rights nightmare in East Africa: 25,000 children in northern Uganda have been abducted by a rebel army that â&#x20AC;&#x153;turns them into sadists,â&#x20AC;? Estrin says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was ready to resign from the human race after seeing that film.â&#x20AC;?

But from the same continent also came the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most hopeful vision, in Estrinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimation: Sisters in Law follows the trials of female lawyers and judges winning

CHINA BLUE

spousal and child-abuse convictions among Muslims in Cameroon.

Audience reaction is what made a Thursday showing of China Blue VIFFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;most spectacular event,â&#x20AC;? according to Estrin. The film exposes the conditions of Chinese garment workers via the lives of two young girls. Estrin saw the movie along with a contingent of blue-jean-wearing high school students who were â&#x20AC;&#x153;getting the whole thing,â&#x20AC;? he suggests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about the pants youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sitting in, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a wonderful interaction in time between subject matter and relevance . . .

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political education up the gazoo â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sitting on the gazoo.â&#x20AC;?

For Estrin, the biggest disappointment of the festival was The Great Warming, narrated by Keanu Reeves and Alanis Morissette. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The film had very high production values, but its politics were prob-

lematical . . . there was little mention of resource reduction and a curious emphasis on religious fundamentalism,â&#x20AC;? he notes.

The most satisfying sleeper? Three Comrades, about three guys in Grozny who experience the Chechen wars together.

The liveliest Q&A â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and there were lots of them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; came after Occupation 101, described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a comprehensive analysis of the facts and hidden truths surrounding the Iraeli-Palestinian conflict.â&#x20AC;? The post-film

THE WORD ON LOCAL LIT

Critical Conditions

W Toxic Feedback: Helping Writers Survive and Thrive,

by Joni B. Cole, University Press of New England, 158 pages, $16.95.

Joni B. Cole will speak in the Howe Library in Hanover, New Hampshire, on November 14 at 7 p.m. For her other appearances around southern Vermont and New England, see www.toxicfeed back.com.

riters, has someone’s reaction to your work ever made you want to sink into the ground? If so, you’re in good company.

Grace Paley used to submit stories to magazines “again and again, and they always came back.” New England novelist Ernest Hebert remembers John Gardner returning his manuscript at the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference with one comment: “No real writer would write a sentence like that.” Khaled Hosseini, author of the best-selling novel The Kite Runner — and a sold-out speaker at Champlain College last year — was rejected by a literary agent who told him, “The book is good, but the public doesn’t want to hear any more about Afghanistan.”

These stories and more come from a small book called Toxic Feedback by Hartford resident Joni B. Cole. Cole defines toxic feedback as any response that makes writers “doubt their abilities, distrust their own voices, sabotage their stories, or just feel really, really lousy.” The classic example is a comment a respected writer and teacher scrawled on one of Cole’s short sto-

ers’ work, and setting up a writing workshop that doesn’t degenerate into a playground for the participants’ egos. Each chapter contains a wealth of anecdotes, and many feature interviews with successful authors. (Several are Vermonters — besides Paley, Cole talked to Julia Alvarez and mystery writers Archer Mayor and Sarah Stewart Taylor.)

Judging by her title, one might expect Cole to adhere to the “affirmation only” school of criticism, in which writing workshops become all too similar to support groups. (“Your story is great. It really expresses your truth.” “Yours too!”)

But Toxic Feedback is actually funny and tough-minded, with insights about getting and giving feedback that can be applied to all walks of life. Cole doesn’t hesitate to poke fun at writers, whom she describes as “chasms of hypersensitivity.” At the same time, she doesn’t believe that “simply telling writers to toughen up” is a solution. Nor is avoiding feedback, since it alone “can answer the ultimate question: Are you connecting with your readers?”

Toxic Feedback is a funny and toughminded book, with insights about getting and giving feedback that can be applied to all walks of life. ries years ago: “It’s all wrong.” What was wrong? How could it be improved? She never found out.

The incident made Cole, now 48, want to give up writing, but she didn’t. For the past 12 years, she’s run writing workshops out of a spare room in the home she shares with her husband and two daughters. Two books Cole created and edited, This Day: Diaries From American Women and This Day in the Life: Diaries From Women Across America, have received raves from Publisher’s Weekly and People Magazine.

In a phone interview, Cole says the idea for Toxic Feedback emerged from her workshops. Newcomers to the group are often “very accomplished people — some are brain surgeons!” she says. “The first time they share a submission, their hands are shaking, and they’re terrified. A lot of us are refugees from other workshops where we had our work trashed. It struck me that this was crazy. Feedback can be a gift, rather than this thing that puts terror into us.”

Toxic Feedback is a guide to making feedback work for the writer, with sections on getting and processing criticism, responding to oth-

For writers, the key is to process feedback, Cole explains. “You need to be selective, so you as a writer get what you need when you need it,” she says. “We don’t have to submit or succumb to feedback, like Saint Sebastian succumbing to the Romans. If they say something devastating, like ‘This was really boring,’ we can crawl home and put on ‘Oprah,’ or we can ask, ‘What specifically was boring?’ Specificity is an antidote to the toxicity.”

What about the reader’s side?

Are negative comments verboten, even when the writer lacks a grasp of basic storytelling or has no clue how to use a comma? “My point isn’t just to promote ‘All right, everybody, let’s make writers feel good,’” says Cole. Still, she firmly believes that “Positive feedback is the best way to teach writing. So many of us lack the faith that if we reinforce the positive, the negative will disappear. But that’s exactly what happens. It feels like magic, but it works.” Positive feedback doesn’t mean blanket approval, Cole adds — only specifically targeted comments can “help writers write more and write better.”

Even positive feedback can be “toxic” when it comes from some-

one who wants to supplant the author’s vision with his or her own.

In the book, Cole interviews Samina Ali, a young novelist who found herself in the enviable position of being courted by a big-time Los Angeles agent before she’d even finished her manuscript. The agent wanted to turn Ali’s novel about her arranged marriage into a memoir, because “nobody writes fiction anymore.” Ali pointed out that “a lot of ” her novel was pure fiction. No problem, the agent replied airily, since most memoirs are “not true; they’re just marketed as true.”

Luckily, Ali found a different agent, or she might have gone the way of disgraced “memoirist” James Frey.

So, how does the writer find that special group that offers useful feedback, keeping both toxins and bull to a minimum? Cole says her group has some participants who’ve been coming, on and off, for the past 10 years. Each session she adds a few newcomers, because “We want to always have the experience of strangers reading our work cold,” and she tries to maintain a mix of seasoned writers and novices.

For those who can’t find a readymade group, Cole suggests starting your own. “That’s what I did!” she says. “I promise you will find some kindred souls.”

Speaking of toxic feedback . . .

Bolton resident Alison Bechdel’s acclaimed graphic memoir Fun Home has been getting some from the residents of Marshall, Missouri.

After a complaint from a local woman, the Marshall Public Library held hearings to decide whether to ban Fun Home and another work, Craig Thompson’s Blankets, from its shelves. Why? Both contain sexual images and both look like “comic books” — a genre that, in some people’s minds, is still synonymous with kid stuff.

Witness Bob G. Stewart, a columnist for the Marshall Democrat-News, who went so far as to link Bechdel’s frank memoir about homosexuality with the recent

school shooting incidents as examples of society’s “moral decay.” “We are reeling in the waves of outrage and disgust and shock that pour over us as we digest the news reports RUTH PORTER or investigate what passes for children’s literature these days,” Stewart laments before exhorting his readers to pray.

A poster on Bechdel’s blog makes the point that kids’ books aren’t generally rife with “references to Proust and Joyce,” as Fun Home is. (Nor do they receive long screeds of praise in The New York Times and Village Voice alongside works for adults.)

Another blog poster wonders whether the citizens of Marshall are equally bothered by the presence of Sin City and other violent graphic novels in their library.

On October 11, the library’s board of trustees voted to keep the two challenged works unavailable while it works on creating an official

book selection policy. The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and the National Coalition Against Censorship have both issued statements in support of the books.

Meanwhile, Bechdel’s blog has become an active forum for Fun Home’s defenders, with Marshall librarian Amy Crump and other local opponents of censorship weighing in. For updates, check out dykestowatchoutfor.com. m

he funny thing about “Saturday Night Live” — one of the few funny things about the show these days — is that it’s exerting its most significant influence ever on the culture at precisely the moment in its 32-year history when the show itself is least significant.

Not since the heyday of Joe Piscopo has there been so little to laugh about.

And one reason the number of laughs is down is that the number of cast members is down too. With “Seinfeld” and “Friends” now distant, syndicated memories, NBC is facing such a dire cash crisis that network suits forced Executive Producer Lorne Michaels to make a painful choice over the summer. He could either produce fewer shows with the same line-up, or the same number of shows with a slashed cast.

Michaels has diplomatically downplayed the matter, but the impact has had seismic proportions. “SNL”’s line-up has dropped from 16 last year to just 11 regulars this year, with zero featured players. The pink-slipped include Horatio Sanz and Chris Parnell, both of whom joined the ensemble in 1997 and had matured into highly dependable players. Television’s loss, no doubt, will be Hollywood’s gain.

“The show, like a garden that gets

10/16/06 9:01:50 AM

overgrown, at a certain point needed to be pruned,” Michaels has rationalized the cuts to interviewers. He adds, “We’ve done it at six or seven points in the past.”

Never in this way, though, and never as the result of fiscally driven ultimatums. This is historic. And it’s what happens when decisions affecting creative pursuits are made by people who sell ovens for a living — namely the network’s owner, General Electric.

As I watched the first shows of the season, I couldn’t help wondering why Michaels hadn’t chosen instead to prune faceless non-household names such as Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg or Jason Sudeikis. Eavesdropping on Sanz and Parnell in the unemployment line would be a bigger yukfest than most of the material this crew’s come up with so far. Sure, Darrell Hammond and Amy Poehler made the cut, but it remains to be seen whether they can carry this institution on their shoulders. To date, the prospect appears iffy at best. “SNL” finds itself at both a crossroads and an all-time low.

Hence the infinite irony in the fact that the sketch fest has never been more influential. Not one but two new shows on NBC this fall have taken “Saturday Night Live” as their inspiration. Only in America: At the same time it cuts back its support for the real thing, the network invests big-time in a pair of programs that are overt knock-offs.

SEVEN DAYS

“Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” is anything but a shoestring production. The hourlong show is the latest creation from writer-producer Aaron Sorkin — the brain behind “Sports Night” and “The West Wing” — and it does for latenight ensemble comedy what “The West Wing” did for

“30 Rock” is as ebulliently loopy as “Studio 60” is earnest. presidential politics. It whips up a beguiling parallel universe whose inhabitants are motivated by passion, nobility, intelligence and courage. It supplies unusually well-written characters and unusually well-written dialogue. Most impressively, it presents the writing, performing and broadcasting of a hip, satirical television show as an act of insurrection. This is a drama in which comedy is serious business.

On paper, this probably sounded preposterous — after all, “SNL” is no more revolutionary these days than is “Mad TV.” Sorkin pulls it off completely, though. Each installment of “Studio 60” — the show within the show — is approached with the care and gravity that one might need to stage a military coup. The show’s producer, played by Bradley Whitford, and head writer Matthew Perry make compellingly flawed crusaders.

Whitford’s character is coming off a coke bust. Perry’s has a chip on his shoulder the size of the Rockefeller Center rink and a thing for the show’s star (Sarah Paulson), a born-again Christian he broke up with after she appeared on “The 700 Club.” All of this is straight out of Sorkin’s own life story, so it’s no surprise the show’s every minute feels authentic.

Some critics have faulted the show for taking itself too seriously, but I find “Studio 60” a riveting reminder of the promise the medium once held.

The inventors of television predicted it would uplift and unite humankind, bringing museums, the world’s great orchestras and

impartially reported news into the home. Instead, we got “Starsky & Hutch” and “Entertainment Tonight.” All the more reason to appreciate a fantasy world in which the creators of a sketch show take aim at an arrogant administration and enlighten with every laugh.

Which brings us to “30 Rock,” the brainchild of former “SNL” head writer and “Weekend Update” co-host Tina Fey. The 30-minute program, which debuted last Wednesday, offers a comic take on life behind the scenes at a late-night sketch show. In addition to writing and producing, Fey plays Liz Lemon, head writer of “The Girlie Show,” a sort of for-women-only version of “SNL.” In a prescient bit of writing and casting, Fey has brought in Alec Baldwin to play a General Electric suit who takes it upon himself to fix what’s not broken. He decides that what “The Girlie Show” is missing are men — duh — and concludes that the key to attracting more male viewers is adding a Martin Lawrence-type comedian with mental-health issues (“SNL” alum Tracy Morgan) to the cast.

The master stroke? While the offices of television executives are routinely adorned with framed posters of their network’s hit shows, Baldwin’s office boasts an elaborately mounted, full-color image of a best-selling oven. Like Sorkin, Fey is writing about what she knows.

And writing about it exceedingly well. “30 Rock” is as ebulliently loopy as “Studio 60” is earnest. If future episodes maintain the laugh level of the first one, this ought to be around for a while. Its chemistry works in all directions. Baldwin is deadon as a love-to-hate corporate stooge, Morgan brings a manic, anything-can-happen energy to his role, and another familiar “SNL” face, Rachel Dratch, makes a lovably off-beat utility player. As always, Fey is a treat to watch. Few can match her combination of comic and intellectual gifts.

“Sometimes,” Baldwin’s character explains to Fey’s after unveiling his vision, “you have to change things that are perfectly good just to make them your own.” That may explain what’s going on at “Saturday Night Live.” Let’s hope it’s a long while before that fate befalls either of the new shows it has inspired. �

A Passion for Fashion Vermont’s designing men and women make a scene

And how about naming STORY some Vermont designer labels? Um, let’s PAMELA see — Burton? Turtle Fur? Johnson POLSTON Woolen Mill?

The next Art Hop, presented its attentive audifashion show and event is scheduled ence with some wildly creative outfits for December 1, by local designers.

Hop); others were eminently wearable, such as the stylish slacks in Ava Bishop’s Damn Fine Pants line. For anyone who previously considered “Vermont fashion designer” an oxymoron, the show provided a swift kick in the attitude.

At “Strut,” the indie, DIY ’tude was in evidence. The designers, mostly in their twenties, might be influenced by various sub-cultures — music or snowboarding, say — but nearly all agree on a “recycle” aesthetic. Hence the secondhand fabrics, “reconstructed” garments — for example, a shirt that’s half longsleeved tee and half men’s button-down — and overall vintage sensibility. Less obvious was a socially responsible motivation for making one’s own clothes: opposition to sweatshops.

“You feel guilty wearing this [chainstore] stuff knowing it was done by kids,” suggests Chris Bissonette, 26, the only male designer at “Strut.” The price of new clothes, especially designer labels, is off-putting, too, he notes, and it can be hard to find standard-size clothes that fit a non-standard body.

But the primary reason to do it yourself is simply originality — “doing that classic artist thing where you don’t want to look like everyone else,” says Bissonette.

“You don’t want to be a walking billboard for whatever company.”

Working in the apparel industry, at Burlington’s Select Design, convinced Bissonette that he could make clothes — his specialty is deconstructed hoodies. Last fall his grandmother sealed the deal by donating a sewing machine. “By Christmas I was making hoodies for everyone,” he says.

“Strut” provided a big boost of selfconfidence to its nine featured designers. “That whole show blew everyone away,” Bissonette puts it. “It had a domino effect of getting this indie fashion scene started.”

The next push came from Jennifer Michelle, a 38-year-old former epidemiologist turned lingerie designer. She launched her online business, A Little Lingerie Company, a year and a half ago. While the Fairfax-based entrepre-

neur wasn’t on the runway with her “campy but really cute” g-strings and garters — her niche is custom bridal — Michelle was inspired to organize the brand-new Vermont Fashion Networking Group. “I have no background in retail or design; I’m just learning about contracts and business stuff,” Michelle reveals. “I thought, I couldn’t be the only person.”

Indeed she isn’t. A handful of fellow designers met with Michelle for the first time last week at Muddy Waters in Burlington. Jennifer Dillner was one of them. Though she has a day job — in human resources at the Chittenden Bank — the 27-year-old seems excited by the possibilities of making, and marketing, clothing. “The stuff I showed [at ‘Strut’] is pretty crazy,” admits Dillner, whose artistic garments involved a lot of vinyl. “I need to make

something a little more marketable.”

Dillner suggests that the new networking group, and the nascent indie scene that inspired it, are “giving fashion a place in Vermont.” And, she adds, models, photographers and anyone else interested in getting involved are welcome. “Our first meeting was to discuss direction and where we’re going,” Dillner says. “We’re hoping to have a trunk show in December.”

In fact, the group already has another fashion show planned — for December 1 at Plan B. And in the future, says Michelle, “We hope to bring in seminars about such things as contracting vs. employees, wholesaling, etc.”

That sounds good to Ava Bishop, 28, who works from her Morrisville home on two lines of clothing she calls Damn Fine Pants and Little Savage.

She’s been sewing since she was 10, Bishop says, and would like her business to be selfsupporting some day. One of her co-workers at the Bee’s Knees cafe in Morrisville, who happened to be working for the Art Hop, got her involved in “Strut.” About the Vermont Fashion Networking Group she says, “I’m interested in meeting others who are doing this in a rural place. It’s nice to be part of a group of people with similar goals.”

Bishop hopes to learn a thing or two from the more experienced Burlington designer Claudia Venon. The owner of Venon Home & Interiors since 2000, Venon added clothing to her repertoire two years ago. She’s been selling her reconstructed and vintageinspired contemporary wearables and accessories at the Artist Market, Saturdays in City Hall Park, and at an open-air market in Boston. She’s planning two trunk shows at Cannon’s Restaurant in Burlington’s New North End, on November 18 & 19 and

the clothing industry. Just check her website — www.greenclosetvt.com — for commentary on sweatshops and nonorganic cotton.

Her solution: selling vintage and reconstructed apparel, preferably made by local designers. “Power to the people,” she declares. “Keep the money here.”

Vermont’s indie fashion scene is part of a growing national movement — also called the “craft revolution” — with numerous online outlets and resources as well as print publications. Locally, the bricks-and-mortar store that completely embraces the handmade zeitgeist is the aptly named Made Boutique & Gallery, located in the Wing Building on the Waterfront. Owner Sara DeFilippi, 25, defected from Brooklyn for a job at Burton in 2005, but after a year and a half decided to go her own way. Made opened its doors July 15, and this month began offering its collection of apparel and artworks online as well — www.madebou

December 2 & 3. One thing Venon has over the newer fashionistas in town is an expansive email list of potential buyers. “I plan a trunk show in someone’s home,” she says, “we invite people, and they come,” If Venon makes it sound simple, it’s in part because she’s already dealt with the most basic hurdle facing “handmade” designers: pricing. “You get into the whole ‘What do you charge for it?’ thing,” says Bissonette. “If you charge per hour, no one’s going to spend $100 on a handmade hoodie. So you charge $50 . . . I think about what I would want to pay. But then,” he laments, “it’s like you’re doing it for charity.”

Some local retailers are happy to help with this dilemma — not to mention with educating the public about handmade clothing, marketing and selling it. Xmas MaxonAlley owns The Green Closet — a former Old North End clothing shop that’s opening a new location in Winooski next week. She also makes reconstructed clothing for her own Post Decadent line. “Pricing is always a difficult thing because you’re working with things that are not comparable to the general market,” says Maxon-Alley, 44, “but the consumer looks at it as clothes. The value they place on it being one-of-a-kind is intangible.

“Technically our stuff should be outrageously expensive,” she adds. “I would say most designers make very little money. I just try to price it at a level the market will bear.”

Maxon-Alley is passionate about the economic and environmental implications of

tique.com.

DeFilippi waxes enthusiastic about the do-it-yourself movement, rattling off websites such as indieshopping, indiefriendly, craftrevolution and readymademag, all of which are listed on her blog. And the movement isn’t limited to wearables — just check out the Halloween handiwork on extremepumpkins.com. St. Albans crafter Catherine Slye developed Made’s website and also sells bags, pillows and note cards through the store. Of the 30 designers DeFilippi represents, about a third are Vermonters. Ava Bishop’s empire-waisted dress in a colorful bird print, modeled in “Strut,” hangs behind DeFilippi’s counter.

Other local wares include jewelry by Kacey Boone (SubSixStudios), pouches and bags by Alison Murphy, and silk-screened tees by Joanne Kalisz, who also had a table this summer at the Burlington Artist Market.

“I want people in Vermont to realize that when you say ‘craft,’ it’s not just your grandmother’s crocheted afghan,” says DeFilippi — unless, of course, that afghan is “reconstructed” into a funky scarf or a sweater. The price points at Made do reflect what MaxonAlley says about handmade design: Shoppers can find belts for $20, small bags for $5 to $60, and most garments for under a hundred bucks.

DeFilippi believes the vintage-recycledreconstructed aesthetic is appealing to the environmentally conscious. Others, she suggests, “just do it because it looks cool.” �

Optimism and obsession are on display at a support group for Vermont inventors story: cathy resmer

Everybody has ideas sometimes.

“Wouldn’t it be great if . . .”

But the making-something-of-it part requires a kind of obsession.

INVENTOR LEONARD DUFFY

By day, David Albright maintains the rest areas on I-89 for the state of Vermont.

But when the reserved 59-year-old welder goes home to Jeffersonville, he retreats to a 28-by-28-foot workshop to practice his true vocation.

Albright is an inventor. Last month, he received his first patent, for a wood splitter attachment — in patent-speak, “multiple wood splitting wedges on a rotating member.”

If this year follows recent trends, Albright’s patent will be one of more than 400 awarded to Vermont inventors in 2006. That might not sound like many, but given the small population, it means the state generates more patents per capita than almost any other. Even with corporations like IBM skewing those numbers, Vermont still claims a sizable population of innovators.

Some of them are famous — think John Deere, or Jake Burton Carpenter.

But for every household name, hundreds, such as Albright, are toiling in obscurity, seeking patents for products they hope will bring them fame and fortune. Or at least enough income to offset the considerable sums they spend building prototypes and paying $300-an-hour patent lawyers.

Though Albright works alone, he’s not as solitary as he might seem. Once a month, he drives to a meeting of InventVermont, a 3-year-old nonprofit that functions as a support group for part-time tinkerers.

Vermont inventors have a number of resources at their disposal. The state funds several small-business development centers that dispense business planning advice, and the University of Vermont recently opened the Center for Emerging Technologies, a business incubator designed to help launch technology-based enterprises.

InventVermont offers institutional support, too — for $20 in yearly dues, its 40 members can attend presentations on marketing strategies, and promote their products through the group’s website, www.inventvermont. com. They can also glean tips on how to access state and federal resources, and even request confidential meetings with fellow inventors to review designs for which they haven’t yet sought a patent.

The group connected Albright with President Tom Ference, an inventor and patent agent, who helped him through the complicated patenting process. At $75 an hour, Albright notes, that help came much cheaper than a lawyer.

But perhaps InventVermont’s most important function, members say, is connecting inventors with others of their ilk: fellow Vermonters who share the conviction that they, too, have a brilliant idea waiting to be recognized by the wider world. Members learn, in short, that they’re not alone. This solidarity helps them keep plugging away, waiting for their big break.

The spirit of camaraderie is almost palpable at the group’s third annual meeting, October 12, at Vermont College in Montpelier. Albright is there, one of seven inventors scheduled to be interviewed before the audience by fellow inventor Danielle O’Hallisay. The diverse array of products on display includes a maple syrup flue pan washer and a cart-mounted aquatic vegetation harvester.

When his turn comes, Albright tells the audience that hydraulic wood splitters aren’t new; he manufactured and sold hundreds of the labor-saving devices in the 1980s. But after years of pondering the design, he conceived of a new twist. Literally.

Albright devised a propeller-like head that attaches to the business end of a hydraulic wood splitter. Each of the three propeller “blades” consists of a different wood splitting wedge, capable of splitting a log into three, four or six pieces.

Here’s how it works: The user drops a log into the berth between the wedges and the hydraulic cylinder, then spins the wedge wheel to select the desired setting, locks it in place, and pushes a button. The cylinder drives the log between the blades of the chosen wedge until the wood breaks into the desired number of pieces.

“I can split three cords an hour with it,” Albright boasts. He shows a video clip demonstrating his invention. The audience oohs and aahs when his machine splits a log into six pieces as effortlessly as if the wood were Play-Dough. The inventor proudly notes that an international wood-splitter manufacturer has expressed interest in the design.

But this development was a long time coming. When Albright talks about his difficulty navigating the patent process, the years he waited for approval and the thousands of dollars he has spent in pursuit of his goal, members of the audience knowingly nod their heads.

He was so frustrated that “I almost started drinking again before the end,” he says. That draws a few mirthless chuckles. Some in the audience have no doubt been there before.

If this sounds reminiscent of an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, that’s because it is.

Or so says InventVermont member Leonard Duffy. The bearded, bespectacled 65-year-old architect from Hinesburg likens the group’s meetings, which he regu-

larly attends, to those organized by AA. The only difference, he says, is that instead of confessing they’re alcoholics, members confess to being inventors.

Is he suggesting that the desire to invent something is like a disease? Or is he saying he enjoys the fellowship of others who are similarly afflicted? A little of both, it seems.

Duffy has presented his inventions before the group in the past; he’s one of InventVermont’s most often-cited success stories. Last year, more than 2000 units of a wooden cookbook holder he invented sold on the home shopping channel QVC. And his fastening technology won the Grand Prize in the 2004 “Create the Future” Design Contest, sponsored by

figure out how to produce and design it.

How do you get the graphite in there?

What do you use to erase the writing? How do you attach the eraser on top? Why is the pencil octagonal?

Inventing, Duffy says with a wry smile, “is not a real mentally stable thing to do.”

It’s hard to tell to if he’s joking.

Consider his experience. Duffy has been tinkering since he was a kid growing up on a horse-powered farm in New Jersey. He studied architecture at Pennsylvania State University, and in 1972 moved to Hinesburg to establish an architecture firm.

After downsizing the company during the recession of the 1990s, he began to focus on other pursuits, including oil painting —

the stuff “Qwik Grip.”

While in D.C., he stopped by the U.S. Patent Office to see if anyone had already claimed his idea. Today you can complete such searches online, but 10 years ago, Duffy had to physically maneuver through the narrow aisles of shelves to find the correct section of the patent collection that covered his designs.

“There are acres of shelves with folders on them,” he marvels. “It’s like this funky old grandmother’s attic.”

That chaotic arrangement could also describe the patent process itself. Applicants must first determine how to classify their invention. They must categorize it according to the type of device or process, and the

Emhart Teknologies and NASA Tech Briefs magazine.

During an interview in his office a few days before the meeting, the owlish grandfather says he attends the gatherings to see his inventor friends and to talk shop. But he freely admits to being obsessed.

“Everybody has ideas sometimes,” he suggests. “‘Wouldn’t it be great if . . .’ But the making-something-of-it part requires a kind of obsession,” he explains. “You have to be obsessive to a certain degree to stick with trying to solve the problem after you define it.”

To illustrate his point, he removes a pencil from his breast pocket. It’s not enough to have the idea that you ought to be able to use it to write. You also have to

two of his canvasses hang in the stairwell leading up to his office — and inventing.

During the mid-1990s, Duffy attended a state-sponsored workshop on taking ideas to the marketplace. It inspired him. When the zipper on his one of his bags broke during a business trip to Washington, D.C., in 1996, he remembers thinking, “Gee, there must be a better way to do that.”

On the plane, Duffy designed a pattern consisting of small flower-like islands that, when pressed to another strip of similar islands, would stick, but could be peeled away just as easily. “It’s an interlocking device similar to Velcro,” he explains. “But when you pull it, it’s much stronger and more durable than Velcro.” Duffy dubbed

method by which it works. Duffy explains that the ordering system can seem illogical at times — his fastening system, for example, might belong to the same category as a product from the 1800s that uses sliding, interlocking wooden plates.

After settling on a category or categories, an applicant must prove the invention is both novel and unobvious. Duffy clarifies the definition: “If a theoretical person who is knowledgeable in the field can come up with this idea using two things in the field that have never been combined before, that would be considered obvious.”

Navigating this process correctly is critical, both in order to gain approval and to >> 30A

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Q & A Q: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m confused about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;morning-afterâ&#x20AC;? pills you can take after having sex. Just what are they and how do they work?

A: Pardon the pun, but there are a lot of misconceptions about emergency contraceptive pills.

Emergency contraception (EC), which goes by the brand name of Plan BÂŽ, has often been referred to as the morning-after pill.

The truth is, EC is effective up to five days after unprotected sexâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not just the morning after. EC significantly reduces the risk of pregnancy after unprotected intercourse by providing a short burst of the hormone progestin that disrupts the process essential for pregnancy. It is up to 89 percent effective if taken within the first 72 hours. But the sooner you take it the more effective it will be.

Make no mistake, however, EC is not a substitute for a routine birth control method, nor does it protect against sexually transmitted infections. It is intended to be a back-up emergency measure in the instance of sexual assault, when no other birth control was used, or in the event of a method failure.

EC is extremely safe and will not affect an established pregnancy. It is believed that greater awareness of and access to this after-the-fact contraceptive option could prevent 1.7 million unintended pregnancies and 800,000 abortions a year.

It is also entirely different from a medication abortion or the so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;abortion pill.â&#x20AC;? The abortion pillâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;known in Europe as RU-486â&#x20AC;&#x201D;is a completely different product for a very different situation. Prescribed in this country under the brand name Mifepristone, it is administered by a medical professional to terminate a very early pregnancy.

Later this year, Plan BÂŽ emergency contraception will be available at pharmacies and health centers without a prescription for consumers over 18.

Until thenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and afterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;women and teens can still get Plan BÂŽ at Planned Parenthood health centers and most pharmacies (with a prescription).

Andâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky enough to live in a state with an EC Collaborative Practice law â&#x20AC;&#x201D;you may also be able to get EC directly from a participating pharmacist, without first visiting your health care provider.

ensure that the patent is secure enough to keep someone else from slightly modifying the idea and stealing it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hence the willingness to hire pricey attorneys.

Once Duffy ascertained that no one had already claimed his fastener idea, he began applying for a patent himself. Theoretically, he says, such applications are supposed to be processed in 18 months. This one took several years.

But getting the patent is only one part of the process. Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come up with a product, the next step is marketing. And that means explaining to other people how they can use it, and why they need it. So far, Duffy has had a hard time selling Qwik Grip.

Five years ago, he was staying at a bed and breakfast where another guest happened to be a representative from 3M. Duffy pitched him the fastening system.

The rep liked what he saw, and within a few days, Duffy was on a plane to Minnesota, where he met with a group of 3M marketers and engineers.

It might have been his big breakthrough, but things didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

clogging, low-profile and reusable. It allows bathing without removal, ventilates skin and allows perspiration, eliminates pressure points, and minimizes odor, rash, itching and other complications.â&#x20AC;?

So why is Duffyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prototype gathering dust in his office?

Because, like many inventors, he would rather tinker than sell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure if I were a better promoter and salesperson, it would have gone somewhere by now,â&#x20AC;? he says with a shrug.

Duffy has had more commercial success with his cookbook holder, which he also conceived a decade ago. One day his wife decided she needed more counter space to lay down her cookbooks, and asked him to expand the kitchen. Instead of filing for a building permit, Duffy rigged a hanging holder out of wire. In 2002, his MBA son Brennan helped him shape the product into something more marketable, a wooden stand with a metal clasp to hold the book, and red ribbons to mark pages. The two Duffys have since expanded into hanging spice racks and laptop racks. They sell them through

When Albright talks about his difficulty navigating the patent process, the years he waited for approval and the thousands of dollars he has spent in pursuit of his goal, members of the audience knowingly nod their heads. turn out the way heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hoped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This whole room of engineers turned to me and asked, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How much does it cost, and how do you make it?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he recalls. Since Duffy hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually tried to produce it yet, he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t answer their questions. He went home without a deal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a learning experience,â&#x20AC;? he says ruefully.

After that encounter, Duffy found a Middlebury company to produce his design. Today his Hinesburg office is littered with test strips of Qwik Grip. Duffy has experimented with using it to replace Velcro straps on things such as tennis shoes and bike helmets, among other things. The application that won the 2004 award was his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unitary Orthopedic Appliance,â&#x20AC;? which uses the fastener to secure a removable cast.

Duffy thought of it when a relative broke her arm and had to wear a cast that was held together with Velcro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The straps caught in her hair,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and there was no way to clean them.â&#x20AC;?

The announcement of Duffyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award in NASA Tech Briefs calls the Unitary Orthopedic Appliance â&#x20AC;&#x153;long-lasting, sanitary, comfortable, non-grabbing, non-

their website, www.overtheedge products.com.

Duffy has patented the concept of hanging these things from various surfaces, under the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;portable cantilevered support device.â&#x20AC;? His 3-year-old application received approval just this month.

But though Duffy has broken even on that invention, it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made up for the losses heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken on Qwik Grip. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lucky his wife is a tenured professor at St. Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College, he says. How much have his inventions cost him? Like a problem gambler, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still in denial about that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m deep in a hole there,â&#x20AC;? he confesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to publish how much Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent on it.â&#x20AC;?

But he remains convinced heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll eventually hit it big, and with his award and the early encouraging interest from 3M, he has reason to be hopeful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sooner or later, somethingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen on that,â&#x20AC;? Duffy predicts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Suddenly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be ubiquitous and everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to need some.â&#x20AC;?

No wonder he needs a support group.

BEADS

Duffy stops by George DeCellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s display table to catch up with the 35-year-old inventor. With his crew cut and goatee, DeCell resembles a younger Billy Joel.

Like Duffy, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convinced that the world is on the verge of embracing his signature product: plastic childproof outlet covers he calls SafetyCaps.

DeCell comes to the meetings because he knows the others here can empathize with him, he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the same sleepless nights I have.â&#x20AC;?

Something else DeCell has in common with Duffy: He stumbled into inventing after experiencing a business failure. An accountant by training, DeCell had been working for a captive insurance company in 2001. He and a friend decided to form their own firm. After they convinced a company in New York to hire them and move its captive insurance business to Vermont, DeCell quit his job â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on September 10, 2001.

The next dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terrorist attacks forced the company to reevaluate its plans. DeCell became a stay-at-home dad. During that time, he conceived his first invention, a business-card rack.

He claims he came up with the idea to place the rack in stores, and rent display space to business card owners for $5 a month, as a form of advertising.

He ordered the plastic backing and the business card holders from various companies and assembled the racks himself, in the three-story house he built in Fairfax. He had large American flags printed on the backs of the racks, to capitalize on the upwelling of post-9/11 patriotism.

He calls his invention, â&#x20AC;&#x153;United Wee Stand.â&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still waiting for his patent on that one.

Another tragedy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a near miss, actually â&#x20AC;&#x201D; spurred DeCellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creation of SafetyCaps.

One day in 2002, his baby daughter got her hands on one of the small plastic outlet covers parents use to keep their kids from sticking their fingers in electrical outlets. She put it in her mouth and began to choke.

DeCell wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say much about the incident; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still clearly rattled by it. His daughter was fine in the end, but a press release in his SafetyCaps media kit carries describes the event this way: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the longest few minutes of his life, while he worked to remove the object from her throat.â&#x20AC;?

DeCell says he spent the next year waging a campaign to convince the government and the public that the caps are dangerous. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wife calls it my â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;angry year,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he says.

Then he started designing a safer outlet cover. A slightly bigger cap would be more difficult to choke on, he discovered, and if it did get lodged in a kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throat, small holes on either side, like those on a pacifier, would allow the child to continue breathing.

DeCell found a Vermont company to manufacture his design, bought a bagging machine and 500,000 bags from a game company that moved to

Once DeCell and Duffy have hit the big time, will they still attend InventVermont meetings? Maybe not. Steve Luhr, founder and president of CherryMax sleds, belongs to the organization, but he skipped this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get-together.

Luhr acknowledges the group helped him start his now 4-yearold company, which produces the widely praised Hammerhead sled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found it really helpful to be tied in to a bunch of people doing the dirty work,â&#x20AC;? he says. After meeting some key advisers through the group, though, it was time to move on, Luhr says. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now networking with venture capitalists and angel investors.

But for every inventor who graduates from the group, another one comes in. Richmond flute-maker John Landell attended his first annual meeting this year. He brought along two of his pricey silver flutes, and a third, which he has patented, made of titanium.

Landell woefully reports that he spent $13,000 to patent the titanium flute, which is lighter and produces a brighter, louder sound than the traditional model. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has that resonance, so light, so sweet,â&#x20AC;? he says, adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made a dime from it.â&#x20AC;?

So why did he pursue his invention? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well,â&#x20AC;? Landell quips, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was stupid.â&#x20AC;? Then he laughs and amends his answer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m one of those crazy inventors who believes.â&#x20AC;?

After all, Landell didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just patent the titanium flute â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he patented the idea of making any musical instrument from titanium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they want to make a titanium tuba, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see John Landell,â&#x20AC;? he says, dollar signs swimming in his eyes.

Sounds like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come to the right place. ďż˝

<OPINION>

Seen and Herd Does Vermont have too few deer — or too many?

And either way, what should be done about it?

h, the sounds of autumn in Vermont.

The honk of migrating geese, the thunk of a teenager’s foot against a soccer ball, the crunch of leaves underfoot. And soon, starting on the first Saturday in November, the whine of the big-game STORY hunter: “Where the bleep are all the JON MARGOLIS deer?”

To hear Vermont’s hunters tell it, the state’s deer herd is in deep doo-doo.

“There are serious issues with the condition of Vermont’s prized deer herd,” claims the website — www.hatvt.org — of the advocacy group Hunters, Anglers and Trappers of Vermont (HAT). In conversation, hunters are often more blunt, if not downright profane, on the subject. If you doubt that, just visit any gun shop; it won’t be long before talk turns to the bedraggled state of the deer herd and the “damned fools” at the Fish & Wildlife Department with their deermanagement policies.

But wait. All over the northeastern United States there are too many deer.

They eat the flowers outside suburban living rooms, jump through picture windows and leap in front of speeding cars.

Why should Vermont be an exception?

Maybe it isn’t.

Two matters need to be understood.

First, while deer hunting is an honorable and admirable pursuit — beneficial to both society and the environment — deer hunters tend to be whiny. They never think there are enough deer, and they insist that maximizing the deer herd ought to be the main, or even the only, goal of natural-resources management.

Second, you don’t have to be a hunter to be affected by the deer debate.

Birdwatchers, anglers or, for that matter, anyone who walks in the woods or cares about the natural world has a stake in this dispute. Which raises some interesting questions: What do we mean when we say “wildlife”? What is the purpose of natural-resources management?

Nonhunting city slickers may not even be aware that this dispute exists.

Not only does it exist, but it’s incessant and often intense. Fish & Wildlife is reg-

ularly assailed at the forums it holds, in letters to the editor, and in resolutions from rod-and-gun clubs over the department’s management of the deer herd.

And, because the hunters themselves do not always agree, the department can expect vitriol no matter what it does.

Broadly speaking, there are two factions in the deer hunting community: the trophy hunters who want more big bucks to shoot, and the meat hunters who want to be able to shoot just about anything they see. That second faction was mightily displeased by a new regulation, enacted last year, that severely limits the number of younger males — aka “spikehorns” — hunters can shoot.

Those young males taste good. But, to look at it another way, every young male not shot stands a better chance of growing into an older, bigger male.

“Nobody really knows” what the deer population is, concedes David Hirth, assistant professor of behavioral ecology and deer management at the University of Vermont’s Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources. “Is the population lower than at an earlier point? I don’t know if you can make a statewide generalization.”

Even HAT Vice President Ed Gallo agrees that parts of Vermont have more than enough deer. But in general, he says, “Sportsmen believe the deer herd has dwindled, and that’s borne out by the annual harvest dropping off. It was close to the all-time low last year.”

True. The figure of 8546 deer taken in 1995 was the lowest since the 7078 counted in 1988. But that doesn’t prove there are fewer deer. Rather, there are fewer hunters — 80,476 last year, in

Besides, as just-departed Vermont Natural Resources Council policy director — and avid bird hunter — Patrick Berry puts it, “There’s nothing you can do about coyotes; you shoot more, they breed faster.”

Hunters are not necessarily wrong about the numbers: There may indeed be fewer deer. But what the organized hunting community will not concede is that perhaps there are as many deer as there ought to be.

In 1978, biologists estimated that there were 160,000 deer in Vermont.

According to Charles W. Johnson in the 1980 version of his book The Nature of Vermont, there wasn’t enough winter food for all of them. “Many of the animals that don’t starve are malnourished or weakened,” he wrote.

You don’t have to be a hunter to be affected by the deer debate. Birdwatchers, anglers or, for that matter, anyone who walks in the woods or cares about the natural world has a stake in this dispute.

As it happens, it really doesn’t matter whether Fish & Wildlife comes down on the side of Faction One or Faction Two. Wildlife biologists hold that weather and habitat are far more important in determining the size and health of the deer herd than the management decisions of mere humans.

True, the herd is likely to be larger this year than in 2005, and maybe that spikehorn protection helped. But what helped more was the mild winter.

The general public’s indifference to the deer-management debate is not without consequence. It means that the organized deer hunters so dominate the discussion that few dare to challenge their assumption that Vermont’s deer population is in decline.

contrast to 101,088 a decade earlier.

Why the decline? Because young people today are far less likely to hunt than were their counterparts in earlier generations. Thus the median age of hunters is rising steadily. Perhaps hunters don’t see or hear as many deer as they once did because they simply don’t see or hear as well as they once did.

Advancing years could also explain the crotchetiness and downright irrationality that afflict some hunters. The ones who organize mass coyote hunts to protect the deer herd may kill a lot of coyotes, but not to the benefit of the deer. Coyotes do kill some deer, but not enough to reduce the population. In fact, by taking the weakest individuals, coyotes may strengthen the herd.

Now, Fish & Wildlife estimates a deer population of 110,000 to 125,000, according to John Buck, the department’s aptly named wildlife biologist. Buck agrees with the hunters that the current population is too low and is working to build it back up, perhaps to 160,000.

But that could be too many. Why? Because, as hunters and scientists agree, the biggest problem facing Vermont’s deer is loss of habitat — there’s less than there was in the past, and there will be still less in the future. Deer habitat keeps getting transformed into people habitat.

Buck says that when he attended UVM in the 1970s, he and his friends hunted near Williston’s Taft Corners.

UVM in the 1940s, his hunting grounds were near Dorset Street. Shopping malls produce precious little browse.

For scrumptious deer browse, you need a forest. But to deer, not all forests are equal, and here is where things get more complicated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Deer are short,â&#x20AC;? Hirth says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In order for them to be able to get any food, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be within 3 or 3-and-a-half feet of the ground.

In a maturing forest, the good, continuous canopy overhead shades out a lot of new growth on the forest floor. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not much browse available in maturing forest.â&#x20AC;?

In other words, the kind of forests that some people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and many species of bird, beast and insect â&#x20AC;&#x201D; find most desirable, deer and deer hunters do not. Deer love recently logged forests, regrowing but not yet covered by that thick canopy. They also like woods interspersed with meadows. Increasing the number of midsized clear-cuts may be the best way to maximize the deer population. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So when you hear people moaning about West Mountain [in the former Champion Lands in Essex County] being a preserve in which there is not going to be any cutting,â&#x20AC;? says Hirth, â&#x20AC;&#x153;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re correct when they say there are going to be fewer deer there than when the paper company owned that land.â&#x20AC;?

But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all hunters say. Some of them argue that the mature forests found in wilderness areas and other preserves are â&#x20AC;&#x153;dead zones,â&#x20AC;? devoid of wildlife.

As a matter of plain biology, this is nonsense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reflecting is the view that the term â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wildlifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; refers to only one species,â&#x20AC;? Hirth says. There may be fewer deer around West Mountain, but there are more songbirds, foxes, weasels and insects, not to mention more wild brook trout in the nearby streams. As former VNRC policy director Patrick Berry notes, some hunters prefer stalking deer in wilderness areas. They enjoy being in wild land, appreciate the challenge, and delight in the solitude. In fact, both the public and private sectors in Vermont are squandering an opportunity by not marketing wilderness hunting and fishing.

Here is where the deer debate blends into the more general discussion of natural-resource policy. Deer hunters oppose adding acreage to the Wilderness System, as they opposed the Champion land deal, because protecting forestland from logging also â&#x20AC;&#x153;protectsâ&#x20AC;? it from being managed for maximum deer density.

Meanwhile, will no one even suggest asking whether maximum deer density is desirable?

Even environmentalists merely argue that preserving forestland will not actually reduce the deer herd. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true only if one ignores what economists call â&#x20AC;&#x153;opportunity costsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that is, the costs of an opportunity forgone.

Land not actively managed for more deer will eventually hold fewer deer. By refusing to confront hunters directly here, the greenies effectively concede the point that more deer should be the governing principle of natural-resource policy, instead of one goal among many.

The result is that hunters, a mere 15 percent of Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population, have disproportionate power over decisions that affect everyone.

That power is institutionalized. Like most states, Vermont gives its Fish & Wildlife Department almost no money raised from taxes. Instead, the department is financed by the sale of hunting and fishing licenses. So Fish & Wildlife is effectively still a fish and game department â&#x20AC;&#x201D; once its official name â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not because its biologists donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about other species, but because it depends on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sportsmanâ&#x20AC;? community for its sustenance.

The first step toward redefining wildlife as, well, wildlife would be to put the license money into the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general fund, from which Fish & Wildlife would get appropriations as needed. Then the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actual constituency would be the citizens of Vermont, not the rod-and-gun clubs.

Why does no candidate for statewide office make such a proposal? Perhaps because the ensuing whining could really scare all the deer out of the forest. ďż˝

To date: Bow season, mostly, with a modicum of luck, a breeze.

Rifle Season, when snipers wait in ambush, in the arms of mother maples, eyes to telescopic sights effective at a thousand yards; discreetly gender-bent for Doe and Buck (including pronghorns),

We add insult to injury with Crossbow and Muzzle Loader Seasons, for hunters with a flare for drama, favorites of deer with a nose for human history.

Every armchair marksman has a deer-in-the-headlights story about success in what might be dubbed: Hit-and-Run Season, where the dumb buck or flighty doe bolts from the treeline into easy range of RV, pickup, SUV and minivan,

tively, appear as two sides of the American identity.

Lee is the wild heart of the Western frontier. As he stands drinking a beer and eyeing his brother across the room, his sunburned complexion and piercing gaze suggest some desert creature that has crawled into a tidy suburban home. Austin represents the opposite extreme: In crisp sport shirts and blue jeans, pecking away on a typewriter at the dining-room table, he comes across as a neutered indoor pet. From the first

The play is a ragged meditation on how people make their peace â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a world ever changing, and not always for the better. how people make their peace â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a world ever changing, and not always for the better. A quarter-century later, the current Vermont Stage Company production shows that the play still speaks poignantly to the challenge of finding oneself in a cultural context, and then finding oneself again in oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own family.

Shepard conceived True West as an exploration of an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;double nature.â&#x20AC;? In the VSC production, directed by Stephan Golux, brothers Lee and Austin, played by David Bishins and Justin Walvoord, respec-

moments of the opening scene, one senses an impending territorial battle.

In the ensuing contest, Lee has the upper hand. A drifter and small-time thief whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been living in the Mojave Desert, he acts as something of an emissary from a culture under siege â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that of the rugged frontiersman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as well as from a shared past with Austin thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rank with unfinished business.

Bishins turns in a strong performance as Lee, opting to intimidate and project fury more often than resignation and pain. He affects a menacing stage presence in the

manner of villains that sow unease in every moment in which they appear. His glower speaks volumes about his disgust at what his fussy little brother has become — and at what the likes of Austin have done to the world.

By contrast, Ivy League-educated Austin has been making a decent living not by railing against reality but by mediating it through his film scripts. And he might have gone on happily contriving worlds more desirable than the real one, had his brother not arrived to shatter the illusions. Justin Walvoord plays his part well — combed over, tucked in and officiously nice to his wayward sibling, until Lee begins pushing his buttons.

Walvoord may not be the most believable stage drunk, but the 10/3/06 5:06:19 PM more nuanced the moment, the 1x4-massagegarage092006.indd 1 more skillfully he works.

While the VSC production strains fully to realize the family 4x10-ComcastAdelphia092706 9/25/06 2:03 PM Page 1 drama at the core of True West, the play’s broader theme res3x5-VSAC101806.indd 1 10/16/06 2:09:29 PM onates clearly. The decline of the “true” West is the death knell of something essentially American: its mythic virtues, its unspoiled frontier, its authentic nature.

“There’s nothing real down here, Lee,” Austin says, to which his brother responds, “I can’t save you from that.”

Lee has already made his last stand. Like the character Kirk Douglas plays in the film Lonely Are the Brave — to whom Lee refers at one point — he’s been defeated by the encroaching Adelphia Digital Silver forces of modernity, manifest includes 1 multi-channel premium here in a suburban lifestyle to which Lee is ill-suited.

His retreat to his desert hermitage High-Speed Internet seems imminent.

Enhance your online experience True West is open to interpretation, as are other Shepard works. The play’s conceptual A MONTH FOR 3 MONTHS elasticity exacts a cost in terms of execution, however, and in this case those difficulties may be exacerbated by the typical pitfalls of an opening-night performance. Shepard has described his work as being concerned more with creating moods than with cleaving tightly to linear plots. While his plays move forward through a series of conflicts and complications, characters are also left to rattle around in the rhetorical “space” of the scene a bit longer than is typical in more conventional works.

As a result, pacing can flag, as it does here and there in the VSC production, particularly early on when the fraternal bond between Lee and Austin is at its weakest.

another.

That turning point appears midway through the play. In the first scene following the intermission, we learn that, over a round of golf, film producer Saul Kimmer (Adam Cunningham), whom Austin has been courting with a script idea, has decided instead to take on a project Lee has pitched him — pushing Austin’s script to the back burner. Suddenly, real stakes emerge. Austin tells Lee that his deal with Saul was his one clear shot at success. Lee, for his part, sees the deal with Saul as an opportunity to get the “old man” out of the poor house. Austin and Lee square off on both counts — sibling rivalry over a screenplay sale, and divergent views on how much sympathy and support their errant father deserves.

These conflicts ignite something more closely resembling family dysfunction, and the interplay between Lee and Austin becomes more complex.

The scenes that follow include some of the best acting in the show, enhanced by Paul Ugalde’s fight choreography, but the playwright’s tolerance for loosely structured plots sometimes detracts from the kinetic energy. Still, some reversals add irony and humor to the action, such as when Austin starts boozing in the manner of his brother. Rising to a dare from Lee, he goes on a toaster-robbing rampage through his mother’s neighborhood — then proceeds to make about a dozen pieces of toast simultaneously.

Not even the soothing aroma of toast can make Lee and Austin put down their dukes and work out their differences reasonably.

When Mom, played by Ruth Wallman, returns home early from an Alaska tour, she catches her boys in the midst of making a first-rate mess. For the first few beats following her entrance, Wallman’s Mom almost seems to have wandered into the wrong play. Her muted response to the condition of her home strikes an absurdist note, reminiscent of Shepard’s earliest plays. Mom’s choice not to acknowledge the plainly evident destruction, however, jibes with the play’s theme of a landscape altered beyond recognition. And the levity she brings to the moment is welcome in the aftermath of so much shoving and shouting.

Wallman carries the scene with confidence and quirky charm.

But Mom doesn’t hang around long, and her departure leaves us with two brothers still locked in territorial battle. The turf they’re fighting over has changed in the course of the play. Lee and Austin now stand, like Beckett’s characters in Waiting for Godot, on a tract of land lost on the margins of the map. The West has vanished. Only the frontier of family memory remains. It’s a wild trail to ride, but, in the VSC production, it’s a journey worth a little saddle soreness. �

Outstanding in the Field

G EXHIBIT “Vermont Contemporary,” a group exhibit by six local artists.

Gallery inthe-Field, Brandon.

Through November 12.

ARTWORK “Out Beyond the Barn” by Judith Reilly

PHOTO Marc Awodey

allery in-the-Field, just off Route 7 in Brandon, is sited on 200 acres of some of Vermont’s most beautiful pasture land. A landscaped walkway leads to the intriguingly designed, modified post-and-beam structure, letting visitors know from the first flagstone that this gallery is a cut above other venues. And the interior’s cathedral ceiling seems to encourage artists to attain new heights. Or at least to take risks in their works.

Gallery owner and curator Fran Bull —a superb artist in many media herself — noted in an email last week, “I am interested, in general, in art that seeks to push towards an edge, whatever that edge might be.” The current show at Gallery in-the-Field, entitled “Vermont Contemporary,” meets that standard. Its paintings, prints and sculpture by six prominent Vermont artists — Warren Kimble, Joan Curtis, Liza Myers, Judith Reilly, Patt Cavanagh and Bull — include collections that differ greatly from several of the exhibitors’ bestknown work.

Liza Myers includes none of her signature naturalistic birds and lily pads in this show. Here her focus is on curvaceous, anthropomorphic ceramic sculpture. Three-foot-tall “Spiraling Madonna with Nest” is alive with inventive forms. The nurturing, brownpainted figure caresses a ceramic nest.

“Venus of the Waters” is a more highly abstracted standing figure, adorned with delicately fashioned leaves and flowers.

Textile artist Judith Reilly offered in her artist statement, “I visit reality once in a while, but I have no desire to live there.” Among her six pieces is the 4by-4-foot tapestry “Out Beyond the Barn.” This icon of rural identity is constructed from flattened geometric shapes, with contrapuntal passages of straight-line stitching that push Reilly’s patterns in unexpected directions.

Rounded green floral shapes and puffy

clouds in a blue sky are accents that contrast with the angular red planes describing the barn.

Joan Curtis’ familiar parti-colored abstractions, intensely saturated with every hue of the rainbow, appear in both 2- and 3-dimensional versions at Gallery in-the-Field. Her sculptures are

few fat lines, while Numbers I and II are painterly 15-by-21-inch canvasses with skillfully modulated dimensionality.

Warren Kimble’s “Widows of War” series is a far cry from the decorative faux folk art for which the Brandon artist is best known. His statement describes how the series was created

and collaged images. The dress form that inspired “Widows of War” was decorated with black floral patterning to transform it into a totemic object of mourning. The somber image is repeated in large-scale prints.

Bull rounds out the exhibition with her copperplate etchings, entitled

The artistic climate of Brandon appears to get warmer every year, and Gallery in-the-Field is one of the town’s most impressive destinations. particularly lively, as the ample gallery space gives them room to dance. The papier-mâché fantasia “A Tale Told by a Tail” is a pedestal piece resting on a box-like form, like a strange potted plant, enriched by tentacles and brightly patterned cacti shapes.

Patt Cavanagh’s gray yet energetic oil-stick-on-canvas drawings include a series of six works collectively entitled “Evolution.” The abstractions are loosely descriptive of cranial forms, as if Cavanagh is depicting evolving consciousness. Each of the four 11-by-14inch canvasses comprising Numbers IIIVI is a simple drawing wielding just a

after hearing a radio report, in February 2005, about the number of war casualties in Iraq. “As I looked across my studio at the woman’s dressmaking form I had recently purchased at an antique shop,” he wrote in his artist statement, “I realized it represented to me the women and children left behind (by the loss of a loved one) and their uncertain future.”

A 7-foot-long print of 11 black abstract geometric figures, which Kimble printed using a carved rolling pin, seems to portray an assembly line of military death. Kimble’s brilliant, dramatic series also includes stenciled

“Head One” and “Head Two.” Both contain a strange profile with musical notes streaming from its mouth and a background of furious mark-making.

Her prints are brilliantly made, but are an understated part of this show — an approach that all artist-gallery owners would be wise to emulate.

The artistic climate of Brandon appears to get warmer every year, and Gallery in-the-Field is one of the town’s most impressive destinations. Veering off the highway to visit “Vermont Contemporary,” on view through November 12, is a venture of artistic discovery. m

Mario Marches To His Own Drummer Game review: “Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis”

“Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis” Nintendo DS $29.99 Rated E for everyone

Too many games have genre envy.

One game wants to be the next first-person shooter like “Doom,” while another one hopes to reinvent the real-time strategy game like “Command and Conquer.” Another title plans to follow the role-playing success of the “Final Fantasy” series, and everyone wants to launch the next massively multiplayer online game like “World of Warcraft.”

Then along comes a goofy little title for the Nintendo DS which shows that a little genre-bending can be good for the soul.

If you tortured out a specific genre, “Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: The March of the Minis” might get labeled as a real-time, constructiblepuzzle, action platformer. But that’s only because this game’s designers have so willfully disregarded genre conventions in an effort to put together a charming bit of entertainment that they’ve ended

up coloring a bit outside the lines.

This innovative fiddling takes place in a cozy and familiar framework inside the Nintendo universe. Once again, Mario races through level after level to stop a menacing Donkey Kong from taking things that don’t happen to belong to him. Only this time, Mario doesn’t get his hands dirty. Instead, he delegates the chore of chasing down DK to a set of tiny Mario toys — the Mario Minis.

These windup dolls march mindlessly when the player flicks the DS stylus across the touch screen, and continue to waddle robotically until they’re redirected by an obstacle or a new player command.

The levels hearken back to the classic 2-D Mario games, and many familiar foes return to harass the Minis. A deft move of the stylus here, and a Mini will hop on top of

an enemy for a ride; a tap there, and the Mini will lurch to a halt.

Without constant attention and direction, Mindless Minis will march to certain doom. With multiple Minis on the screen at any one time, coordinating your windup core of heroes adds strategic planning to the arcade fun. As the levels get harder, the play mixes the thoughtful reflection of a crossword puzzle with the thrill-a-minute antics of attending to toddlers in a china shop.

Just as charming and challenging as the main game, “March of the Minis” also provides a levelcontraction set. Simple to use and powerful enough to build just about anything you’ve seen in the game, players can expect to spend half their time inventing and testing out their own brand of “Mini” mayhem. Using the DS’ built-in WiFi capabilities, “Mini” level maestros can share their designs with friends.

A sequel that invents beyond its original and an innovative game that pays respect to the classic games that have inspired it, “March of the Minis” leads the parade of game development in the right direction.

Who’s It For: Although the challenge ramps up pretty quickly, a forgiving scoring system lets players advance without turning in a high score. Because of this, “March of the Minis” keeps moving whether or not you’ve got mad gamer skills.

If You Like This, Try That: You can’t play “March of the Minis” without thinking of “Lemmings.”

This PC classic has you assigning orders to simple-minded packs of lemmings in an effort to save them all. A new version for the Sony PSP gives new life to this gaming chestnut.

Best Part: With a powerful and easy-to-use level creator, making game levels is as much fun as playing them.

theborowitzreport MEL GIBSON ACQUIRES NUCLEAR WEAPON

T

he elite club of nuclear powers gained a new member today as actor Mel Gibson conducted what he called a successful nuclear test in Malibu, Calif.

With all eyes on North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il and his nuclear ambitions in recent days, the international community was stunned to learn that the controversial Australian actor had been quietly developing a nuclear weapon of his own.

But after digging a massive hole in the beach at Malibu and then detonating the nuclear device underground, Mr. Gibson held a press conference to say that he had initiated a nuclear program to guarantee his own security.

“There are a lot of people out to get me, and I think you know who they are,” Mr. Gibson said.

Moments after the actor’s announcement, the Malibu nuclear blast became the topic

of heated debate in the United Nations, drawing strong words of condemnation from Danny Gillerman, Israel’s ambassador to the U.N. “Iran getting a nuclear

ARIES (March 21-April 19): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you know

what insomniac dyslexic philosophers do?â&#x20AC;? asked one of the 20th centuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great thinkers, Terence McKenna. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They stay up all night wondering if dog really exists.â&#x20AC;? That just happens to be your assignment, Aries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whether or not youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an insomniac dyslexic philosopher. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time, in other words, for you to intensify your exploration of lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deepest questions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even as you remember to do so with sparkling good humor and the intention not to take yourself too damn seriously.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In Buddhist

tradition, bodhisattvas are seekers who put their service to others above their personal goals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even above their quest for the supreme peace that comes from enlightenment. In the eighthcentury prayer â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bodhisattva Path,â&#x20AC;? poet Shantideva wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;May I be the doctor and the medicine/ for all sick beings in the world / until everyone is healed.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a high standard to live by. In asking you to try it out for a limited time, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not expecting perfection. But my analysis of the astrological omens suggests that the people in your life fervently need you to be a source of strong medicine. More than that, you need to initiate the changes in your life that will ensue if you make yourself into a soothing balm, a potent remedy, a love tonic.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When East

Timor gained its independence from Indonesia after a long, bloody struggle, the United Nations temporarily took control of the new nation, inundating it with aid and support. But the international agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work was short-lived, lasting just three years, and ultimately became known as Quickfixville. The errors resulting from its hurried efforts have been hard to undo.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a similar gaffe in the coming weeks, Gemini. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough merely to have good intentions. Be deliberate and thorough as you undertake your corrective actions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost time

to bring an end to your phase of resting and recouping. The self-protective mode has served you well, but if you stay in it much longer itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll begin to backfire. Soon youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need a wake-up call, an inflammatory summoning. If I were there with you, I might even sing you the opposite of a lullaby â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a disturbing yet inspiring rant designed to rouse and agitate and excite you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I was sitting in San

team. While these two superegos fight it out, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to borrow their trademark and apply it to you Libras for the next three weeks. Why? Because your physical organism will be at the peak of its health and attractiveness. If you listen closely to its signals, it will give you good ideas about actions you can take to further promote your well being. Even more than usual, it will be a source of wisdom and pleasure. You will have every right, therefore, to call yourself â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Body.â&#x20AC;?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The 5.5 million

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In his book A Whack on the Side of the Head: How You Can Be More Creative, Roger von Oech quotes one of his clients, an architect: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Play is what I do for a living; the work comes in organizing the results of the play.â&#x20AC;? Make this your guiding principle in the coming weeks, Scorpio. Ask the universe to give you lots of opportunities to mess around and improvise blithely and resurrect your playing-inthe-sandbox consciousness. Come up with good excuses to let your attention wander and explore previously off-limits fun and games. A few weeks from now, you can begin organizing all the good ideas that your frisky experiments will generate between now and then.

LIbRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Uber-model Elle McPherson has been nicknamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bodyâ&#x20AC;? for 20 years. But now an almost equally legendary star of the fashion runway, Heidi Klum, is trying to horn in on the title. She, too, has begun to call herself â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Body,â&#x20AC;? enraging McPherson and her

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The phase youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re entering may prove to be ridiculously confounding â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ridiculous both in the sense of absurdly extreme and very funny.

Yet the immediate future also promises to provide you with unprecedented opportunities to outgrow limitations you may have imagined were permanent. To honor this synergistic blend of slapstick confusion and juicy potential, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m offering you two pieces of advice. The first is from Eleanor Roosevelt: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You must do the thing you think you cannot do.â&#x20AC;? The second is from Edward Teller: â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you get to the end of all the light you know and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly.â&#x20AC;?

Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cafe Gratitude, meditating on your horoscope. In my notebook Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d doodled a giant hand reaching down to Earth from the clouds.

It was holding a silver platter that bore a book whose title was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fresh Instructions.â&#x20AC;? This gift was being offered to a half-lion, half-human creature that represented you. Shortly after I finished this drawing, a woman came through the front door of the restaurant and sat at a nearby table. Her T-shirt had a message that was the perfect caption for the image Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d made: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe God has bigger plans for you than you have for yourself.â&#x20AC;?

people who live in Papua New Guinea speak 820 different languages, or one per every 6707 people.

Two villages within an hourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walking distance of each other may use utterly different tongues.

The situation there has a certain metaphorical resemblance to the current state of your fate, Virgo. The various parts of your world arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t communicating with as much fluidity and frequency as they should be. Your job in the coming weeks is to serve as a master translator, spreading understanding among them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to unite the fragments.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is Great Purple?â&#x20AC;? asks Japanese poet Nanao Sakaki in his book Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eat Stars. Is it â&#x20AC;&#x153;a piece of purple sky floating in my loverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes?â&#x20AC;? he speculates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A cloud made of purple wine passing over Mt. Fuji? The color of a fullblooming magnoliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s root? The shadow of a star visible only to birds? The light of the last water you drink?â&#x20AC;? I invite you, Aquarius, to brainstorm your own answers to the question â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is Great Purple?â&#x20AC;? According to my reading of the astrological omens, you now have a special relationship not only with plain old everyday purple, but with sublime, magnificent, life-changing PURPLE. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perfect moment to develop a closer relationship with whatever Great Purple means to you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s irritating about love is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a crime that requires an accomplice,â&#x20AC;? said French poet Baudelaire. This is a perfect brainteaser for you to contemplate right now, Pisces. Start your musings by trying to figure out what the hell he meant. Ask yourself, in what sense is love a crime? Obviously, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not saying itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s literally a felony or misdemeanor. Is he implying, then, that love, when practiced correctly, disrupts routine, disorganizes the orderly flow, and violates conventional wisdom?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I conclude, but you may have a different opinion. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also meditate on why Baudelaire thought itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s irritating that loves requires an accomplice.

Personally, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand that. While I enjoy breaking the rules of respectable behavior by myself, I also find it exhilarating to have a co-conspirator. What do you say?

Your Favorite things

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may not have God on your side, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the next best thing. Invisible means of support will soon become visible. Life may even give you permission to have your cake and eat it, too. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go so far as to speculate that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the beneficiary of a conspiracy to help you achieve goals you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know you needed to achieve. In light of the fact that you will have most of the help you could possibly require, I can think of only one piece of advice that might prove useful: Being a little rowdy or impish could give your goodness greater impact.

BY RICK KISONAK

PREVIEWS

The Science of Sleep HHH

O DREAM ON Anyone expecting Gondry’s latest to equal his most recent surreal exercise is in for a rude awakening.

ne of the words routinely used to describe the latest offbeat fantasia from director Michel Gondry is “childlike.” The reviewers who use the term are usually alluding to the picture’s playful spirit and whimsical special effects. I find the word apropos as well, though for a different reason. The filmmaker dispenses with narrative logic, plotting and other traditional storytelling elements in order to allow the movie’s focus to fall more fully on his playful, whimsical notions. Gondry unveils one after another at the expense of telling a coherent story. The result: He impresses less as a creative visionary than as a precocious child making endless demands for attention.

A better title for The Science of Sleep, in fact, might have been Look at This: Now Look at What I Came Up With After That. It certainly would have reflected more accurately the sense one eventually gets that the movie’s true subject is the fellow who dreamed it up, rather than any of the characters we meet on screen. Gael Garcia Bernal, for example, plays a thirtysomething artist named Stephane, though his real role seems to be that of stand-in for Gondry.

To the extent the film has a premise, it’s this: Stephane has returned from Mexico to his childhood home in Paris following the death of his father. His mother, who lives in a different apartment with her new lover, has arranged for him to work for a company that produces calendars. Shortly after he arrives, a charming and creative young woman (Charlotte Gainsbourg) moves in across the hall from him. Her name — prepare to have your mind blown — is Stephanie. Get it?

Stephane . . . Stephanie? No? That’s OK. As it turns out, it doesn’t mean anything anyway.

Stephane is witty and inventive, but he has this problem.

As described by his mother, it’s a tendency to “invert his dream life with his waking life.” This may sound thrillingly metaphysical, but what it comes down to is this: Sometimes what we see happening on screen turns out not to have really happened. Stephane has merely dreamed it.

His real problem is not so much that he inverts but that he forgets. He periodically loses track of what’s actually happened versus what he’s merely imagined in his sleep. He’s also borderline narcoleptic, often napping at home when he should be making calendars and at other equally improbable points in his day.

Initially, at least, Gondry’s imagining of Stephane’s dream life is endearingly loopy and low-tech. Most of it takes the

form of a surreal TV talk show in which Bernal’s character is the host. He plays his own theme song, delivers a stream-ofconsciousness monologue, interviews guests — figures from his waking life — and even presides over a cooking segment in which he demonstrates the recipe for a dream. The camera and the rest of the studio are constructed largely of cardboard and tape. Things are off-kilter. They suggest a kid’s outsized handiwork. They suggest Gondry may have watched “PeeWee’s Playhouse” a few too many times.

When he’s not dreaming, Stephane is trying to win the heart of his new neighbor. He stops by and proposes they work on playful, childlike projects together — on one occasion transforming her living room into a 3-D cartoon with cotton clouds he keeps aloft by playing certain notes on her piano. Oops, that was probably a dream. Another time he drops by to present her with a gift — a Hermanesque contraption that allows the user to travel back or forward one second in time. Hmm. Probably a dream, too. On yet another occasion, he breaks into her apartment when she’s out, in order to grab a broken toy horse, take it back to his place and repair it. Later she phones to thank him for his thoughtfulness as the little mechanical animal gallops about the room. Never mind. Another dream.

And then he’s surprised when love doesn’t bloom.

Gainsbourg’s character, who seems receptive early on, grows bewildered and bored. She’s clearly perplexed by his strange behavior and understandably frustrated by his inability to distinguish between real life and fantasy. Eventually he becomes so mopey she’s forced to explain to him, “You know, women don’t find it attractive when a guy cries.” Unfortunately, he fails to take the hint and withdraws further into his own world.

The Science of Sleep attempts to duplicate the triumph of imagination that marked his previous film, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but fails. Both movies have style. Both have lots of interesting ideas and talented casts. What Sunshine had that Science doesn’t, however, are an emotional core and a script by Charlie Kaufman. These differences are not incidental. They’re the difference between art and artsiness.

In his latest, the director decides to go it alone, gambling that whimsy with a big enough budget will compensate for the absence of a coherent story. Gondry does succeed in offering his audience a showcase for his cleverness — one that borders on the self-indulgent. If he thinks he’s done anything more, he’s dreaming. m

FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

War Footage ties, but the tour took an awful toll.

Rene Gagnon was seduced by fame. Ira Hayes was traumatized.”

Racism contributed to his downfall, according to Powers. Hayes, from Arizona’s Pima tribe, “kept getting tomahawk jokes.”

John Bradley, the only member of the military trio able to readjust to everyday life, never talked about the experience again. To him, the real heroes were the guys who didn’t return.

After he died in the mid-1990s, his son James “spent three years tracking down other Iwo Jima vets to understand what had taken place,” Powers says.

Brought into the project by a Texas literary agent, Powers constructed a narrative based on James Bradley’s research.

Steven Spielberg optioned the book in 2001, but chose to stay on board only as a producer. Eastwood apparently felt a stronger connection to the material, which seems to avoid jingoism.

“Even though I’m antiwar,” Powers says, “I will never look at people in uniform with anything but respect. It’s a movie about brotherhood.”

Call 468-1119 to reserve free tickets for the Castleton event.

Army of Shadows looks at a similar brotherhood from the same era. JeanPierre Melville’s 1969 drama about French Resistance fighters during the Nazi occupation was never seen in the U.S. until earlier this year. At 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, it plays the Savoy Theater in Montpelier as the initial

selection of the venue’s nine-weekend “Can’t Wait ’Til March” series. Check out www.savoytheater.com or call 2290598 for more information.

Barbara McGrew, who is teaching a film noir course at Burlington College this semester, decided it might be fun to invite her first cousin to visit the class.

This relative just happens to be Bryan Singer, director of such celluloid hits as X-Men and an executive producer for the TV show “House.” On October 19 he’ll be at the Waterfront Theatre for a free 8:30 a.m. presentation of his Oscarwinning The Usual Suspects. There’ll be a Q&A at 11. Call 862-9616 for details.

Davy Russell isn’t content to just host a Halloween party. Instead, the filmmaker plans to celebrate with “Drake Mountain,” a Webcast that will add two 5-minute increments a day between October 23 and 27. Despite the title, he has been shooting his supernatural

mockumentary on Richmond property that’s merely hilly.

“It’s based on an area that’s really haunted, Glastonbury Mountain in the Bennington Triangle,” notes the 2004 Burlington College graduate. “People have disappeared in the woods and there are reports of UFO sightings.”

His unscripted thriller tracks a millionaire on a weeklong expedition with five fellow paranormal enthusiasts. The premise is that these characters, including a cameraman portrayed by Russell, are video-blogging their journey. The group includes a psychic, someone obsessed with extraterrestrials and a skeptic. For plot twists that drive the spooky story forward, the actors will tap into their improv skills.

“The Internet is a great place to show your work,” contends Russell, 27, whose previous efforts have been offline.

“And then it’s on the Web forever.”

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.

In the days of E. coli, KALE may be a better choice than spinach.

Euclid didn’t invent GEOMETRY, he compiled the info about it.

If you find a dead rat nailed to your door, it’s probably a bad OMEN. If his name were Onan O’Brien, not Conan, he’d get some TEASING. Some of us can’t stomach VEAL because of the way it got to the plate.

Either literally or metaphorically, some would rather be in JAIL than free.

In rodent traps, PEANUT butter works much better than cheese.

Most of the trees we call CEDARS are not true cedars but junipers.

Barbecued pork butt a la mode is not the greatest dessert IDEA. It BEHOOVES a horse owner to put shoes on the horse’s hooves.

E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: EASY AS EASY. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 55A. 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: Read yourself a letter.

A

sk Ron Powers about his initial impression of Clint Eastwood when they met in California last week and the Castleton writer says, “It was a real gunslinger kind of handshake.” The occasion, a glitzy reception following the Flags of Our Fathers world premiere, involved movie stars, a red carpet, frenetic paparazzi and — what really dazzled the Vermonter — “free shrimp cocktail” inside.

Eastwood, whose Million Dollar Baby earned four Academy Awards, also directed the new World War II epic.

With two Oscars for Crash to his credit, Paul Haggis adapted Flags from a 2000 bestseller co-authored by Powers and James Bradley.

Buoyed by early favorable reviews, the opus opens nationwide Friday.

Powers will introduce a special Castleton State College screening he calls “the people’s premiere” at 2 p.m. on October 22.

The film focuses on six GIs who hoisted an American flag during a pivotal 1945 battle on the Pacific island of Iwo Jima. Their effort was captured in the most famous photograph to emerge from the entire conflict. In a frenzy of patriotism back home, however, the three surviving soldiers found that iconic image to be a mixed blessing.

“They went on a cross-country tour to help the government promote war bonds,” Powers explains. “The photograph was recreated again and again, at one stop even carved in ice cream. It was repellent. They were sudden celebri-

The Hole Truth Vermont’s bagel bakers answer the roll call

by RUTH HOROWITZ

W

hen I was a kid, you had to be Jewish to nosh bagels. Or at least live around lots of Jews.

The closer to New York City, the better. In the New Jersey suburbs, where I grew up, my mother would send my father 10 miles to fetch bagels for Sunday brunch. If they were still warm when he returned, toasting them was a crime. We’d spread on cream cheese — Philadelphia brand, plain — and top them with lox. Maybe red onion and tomato, if tomatoes were in season. For funerals, we’d splurge on smoked whitefish, sable and ultra-luxurious sturgeon in addition to the

strong, and still growing. Brue sold the business to Sun Capital Partners three years ago, but it’s still headquartered here.

How did the area become Bagel Central? Are these bagels any good? Are they all even bagels? And what is a bagel, anyway?

Depending on who you ask, the word comes either from the Yiddish beygel, which means bracelet, or buegel — German for stirrup. The latter theory holds that in 17th-century Vienna, a Jewish baker fashioned the first bagel to thank the king of Poland for protecting his people from the Turks. The roll’s stirrup shape honored the ruler’s equestrian obsession.

Boiling is what makes a bagel more than just a roll with a hole. salmon. Spreading bagels with peanut butter was considered a sacrilege. Eating ham, Cabot cheddar and apple on a spinach bagel for lunch? Unheard of.

Bagels have come a long way since then — they’re ubiquitous, even in northern Vermont. Prepackaged varieties cozy up to English muffins on supermarket shelves.

Coffee houses and lunch places offer bagels as alternative sandwich bread. You can even buy bagels with your glazed chocolate cake Munchkins at Dunkin Donuts.

In the Burlington area, nearly a dozen family-owned businesses are built around freshly baked bagels. The area even launched a bagel franchise chain. Burlington businessman Nord Brue established Bruegger’s Bagel Bakery in 1983. Today the company is 250 “quick casual” shops

Bagels as we know them today gained popularity in the shtletls of Poland, where street venders hawked them on poles or from flat baskets hung around their necks.

Jewish immigrants brought them to New York at the turn of the 20th century. Montréal’s first bagel bakery opened in 1919.

New York-style bagel dough traditionally consists of flour, water, cake yeast, salt and malt syrup. But boiling is what makes a bagel more than just a roll with a hole.

After the rings have risen, they’re briefly immersed in a kettle of briskly boiling water. This step produces their characteristic chewy texture. It also keeps the crust from becoming too crisp when they’re subsequently baked at 425 degrees for about half an hour.

RON GOLDbERG (LEFT) AND AUSTIN MARTIN-ANDERSON

Longer kettling yields softer bagels. The water itself can also affect taste. New Yorkers assert that the mineral content of their tap water gives bagels a special taste that makes them impossible to replicate outside the city.

That doesn’t bother Montréalers. They

have their own brand of bagels, and bagel chauvinism to accompany it. Boiled in water that’s been flavored with honey, and baked in a wood-fired oven, Montréal bagels are sweeter than their New York-style cousins and have a slightly smoky taste. >> 0 B

They also tend to be smaller and dryer and have much larger holes.

Bagels began going mainstream after the Second World War. As Jews became more integrated into American culture, migrating to the suburbs and beyond, bagels also assimilated.

That blending led to dilution — a trend that gave purists pause. In 1977, long before anyone had dreamed of impregnating bagel dough with French toast flavoring or chocolate chips, New York Times food critic Mimi Sheraton opined in her book, From My Mother’s Kitchen, “More and more, massproduced bagels are becoming soft, white, fluffy imitations of American rolls.”

You hear similar claims around Burlington today, especially from bakers who imply that their bagels are the real thing and certain competitors are merely poseurs. Independent operators who mix their own dough from scratch like to point out that Bruegger’s bagels, promoted as “the way bagels are supposed to be made,” are actually preformed and frozen in Boston before being shipped to Vermont.

This is true, concedes Scott Hughes, Bruegger’s vice president for marketing. He says concern for “quality” drove the change, which happened about a year ago. Hughes explains that by shipping bagels in a frozen state, “We found we were getting a more consistent product.”

More consistent, that is, than

when the pre-boiled rings were sent out refrigerated, as Bruegger’s had done in the past.

The bagel behemoth isn’t above taking its own shots at other bakers. Touting its traditional ingredients, the Bruegger’s website charges, “Some other bagel makers add preservatives or oils to their bagels.” Bruegger’s also warns that “some” makers steam rather than boil their bagels. The claims may be true of the bagels you buy at the supermarket. Pepperidge Farms and Thomas’ add oil to their dough, as does Myers. But none of the area’s independent, New York-style bagel bakers go that route. And all the local bagel mavens boil.

Nearly half of the local bagel bakeries can trace their genesis to one man. Ruben Goldberg brought the first bagels to Vermont in the 1940s, when he opened Ruben’s Bakery on Riverside Avenue in Burlington. Ruben begat Morris and passed on the family business, and Morris begat Jeff and Ron. “When I was 6 or 7,” Ron recalls, “Dad used to take me to the shop to bag rolls and bake bagels.”

When Morris died in 1969, Jeff took over the business. Ron, who was studying engineering in Boston, came up on weekends to help out. Three years later, the brothers replaced Ruben’s Bakery with Goldberg’s, off Pine Street in Burlington’s South End. It was Ron who turned the family business into a bagel dynasty. So far, he’s opened 18

bagel businesses — many of which are still operating in this area.

He closed Goldberg’s in 1982 to open The GT Bagel Factory, across from St. Michael’s College in Colchester. The name referred to Goldberg and co-owner George Trono. After Goldberg sold his share, the company moniker still applied.

Trono later opened a second GT Bagel in Milton, which is now closed, and The GT Bagel Factory on White Street in South Burlington, which the family continues to operate today.

The second branch of the Goldberg bakery family tree begins with The Bagel in Stowe, which Ron Goldberg opened after he left GT. Ten years ago, he sold it to Tom Ryan. A former high school teacher and Burlington city councilor, Ryan says he owes everything he knows about bagels to Goldberg. “An Irish Catholic had to learn from a Jewish guy,” he comments. “Ron is one of the best.” Ryan went on to open a second The Bagel on Shelburne Road. Both places still sell bagels, though under new ownership; the Shelburne shop was sold to Bruegger’s in June.

Since 2002, Ryan has been at The Bagel Café in Burlington’s New North End, where he grew up. There he doesn’t just turn out some of the best, and biggest, New York-style bagels in the area. Ryan’s café is also a gathering place in a neighborhood that desperately needed >> 0 B

Progressive Pizza Pizza-to-go has moved way beyond speedy delivery. The Vermont Farmers’ Fare project serves up hot pie topped with peppers and politics. Crafted from local foods, it’s intended to encourage consumers to look to nearby farms for fresh products to use in their own cooking.

Northeast Organic Farmers Executive Director Enid Wonnacott came up with the concept; staff members haul the traveling pizza oven to fairs and festivals, where they sell hot slices to hungry visitors.

Pizza is a persuasive choice, since pretty much everyone likes it. NOFA worked with King Arthur Flour of Norwich to develop the dough recipe; Duxbury’s Red Hen Baking Company produces it. Toppings are updated depending upon the time of year and the venue — a recent version served at City Market’s Harvest Festival included a blend of mozzarella and Orb Weaver cheese, braised leeks from Arethusa Collective Farm, and fresh herbs from Project Coordinator Lisa Harris’ garden. Regardless of the incarnation, the pizza sells for $3 a slice, or $12 for a whole pie.

The wood-fired oven, which looks like a metal igloo, inevitably draws a crowd; it began making the rounds this past July, thanks to funding from the USDA Rural Business Enterprise Grant and the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program. Harris and others are crunching numbers to see if they can make the pizza pay for itself — soon, they hope, the Farmers’ Fare project will be as sustainable as the farms it seeks to promote.

Fun with Fermentation At the height of last year’s bird-flu frenzy, Korean scientists suggested that kimchi might keep the virus at bay. The spicy cabbage-based concoction is preserved by lacto-fermentation, which means that it’s chock-full of healthy lactobacillus bacteria. While lacto-fermented foods haven’t yet been proven as a pandemic panacea, these traditionally prepared products are frequently touted as digestive aids and immune-system supporters. Even better, they’re easy to make.

If you visit the Flack Family Farm in Enosburg Falls on pre-arranged production days, you’ll learn how to turn veggies into kimchi and another lacto-fermented treat: sauerkraut. Show up at 8 a.m. wearing cool-weather clothes and a hat — they prefer their products hair-free — and help out until 3 p.m. washing, trimming, chopping and packing veggies into barrels. Doug Flack says it’s “very social work — there’s lots of talking.” Warm up during a midday break that includes a hot “festive lunch featuring farm foods.”

Upcoming production dates are October 23, 24, 27 and 31, and November 1. Call ahead to let them know you’re coming, and for directions — 933-7752.

A Cabot Habit You adjust your costume, knock on the door, and wait anxiously until an adult appears with a big bowl of . . . cheddar? Yep! This year, Cabot Creamery is encouraging people who give Halloween handouts to substitute cheese for chocolate. In particular, the company recommends its Cheddar Minis as a healthy alternative. Parents will like the fact that they’re individually wrapped.

With obesity and childhood-diabetes rates swelling, Cabot health spokesperson Sara Wing suggests, “While a special treat now and again isn’t going to harm anyone, it’s important that kids not learn to associate celebrations, good behavior and special events as opportunities to gorge on sweets.”

Scientists now believe that eating cheese can help reduce tooth decay — a bonus if less health-conscious parents continue to provide sugar-soaked Smarties, Snickers and Starbursts at Halloween.

You can find Cheddar Minis at Hannaford, Shaw’s and Costco, or from the Cabot website at www.shopcabot.com.

Nothing says “street food” like meat on a stick, and there are now two varieties on Church Street. Amir Jusufagic’s Amir’s Kebabs cart hangs out in front of Burlington City Hall. Sotos Papaseraphim mans Niko’s Souvlaki — named for his son and business partner Nick — near Stephen & Burns. Despite the proximity, Jusufagic and Papaseraphim stress they’re not in competition. Their respective fare is quite different, and they’re generally not out selling simultaneously.

Papaseraphim brings extensive restaurant experience to his biz. He first sold food from a cart at the Champlain Valley Fair in 1976, and later owned Nick and Nana’s restaurant in Milton and Ponchos on Church Street. Greek specialties at Niko’s include homemade spanakopita and baklava, lemon-y pork or chicken souvlaki, and the same marinated meats in a pita with fresh veggies and tzatziki sauce. He’s planning to add vegetarian falafel.

Jusufagic, who came to the U.S. from Bosnia in 2000, delivers pizza for Domino’s when he isn’t working on Church Street. He wanted to start a cart for a long time, but until recently, couldn’t find bread that met his standards. When his friend Dalibor Vujanovic, who owns A Taste of Europe in Winooski, began baking bread for his own business, Jusufagic decided it was time. With assistance from CEDO, which “helped in every possible way,” he was up and running at the end of June. Once he’s made his name selling kebabs, he hopes to start his own café, with more traditional Bosnian fare and lots of seafood.

For now, Jusufagic sells just the kebab, which is a “sandwich” made from a blend of shaved beef and lamb, wrapped in soft, puffy flatbread, and topped with veggies and yogurt dressing. Like Papaseraphim, he’ll be adding a vegetarian entrée next summer — a kebab made from deep-fried eggplant with feta and other veggies.

The cart business is weather-dependent, but on sunny fall days, look for Niko’s between noon and 3 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and Amir on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings.

one. High school students work the counter and hang out after school. On a recent Sunday afternoon, customers include a group of teenagers, a couple of white-haired women wearing windbreakers and stretch pants, and a nun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get all political stripes in here,â&#x20AC;? says Ryan, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and anyone who wants to put up signs can.â&#x20AC;?

Ron Goldberg himself, now 54, is baking bagels at The Bagel Market, on Essex Junctionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busy Susie Wilson Road. A glass window behind the counter reveals the handsome, stone-lined oven. A sign on the wall traces the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bagel pedigree. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do everything,â&#x20AC;? Goldberg says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all made from scratch. We even cook our own meats.â&#x20AC;?

The business is still a family affair. When Goldberg arrives at work between 4 and 5:30 a.m., his son Kyle, 22, has already been in the kitchen with a second baker for at least an hour.

His daughter Sarah, a 21-yearold UVM student, roasts the coffee. His eldest son Tad, who died last year at 27, used to â&#x20AC;&#x153;run

York-style bagel.

Differences between bagels can be subtle, and when you eat them is crucial: They grow more leathery the longer they sit.

When it comes to taste, more or less malt or salt can make a world of difference. But those distinctions are obscured when the doughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been fancied up with, say, sun-dried tomato or pumpkin, and flavored cream cheese has been smeared on the top. The bagelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s merits matter even less when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of a BLT or a ham-salad sandwich.

Two local bakeries are bucking the bagel-as-everything trend. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not even trying to make traditional New York-style bagels. Twenty years ago, Sid Berkson introduced MontrĂŠal-style bagels to Burlington when he opened Myers Bagels on Main Street. He recruited Lloyd Squires, a bagelmaker at one of MontrĂŠalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier bagel bakeries. Although Berkson closed Myers after just 18 months, Squires bought the business and re-opened at its current location.

You have to navigate a potholed dirt drive to reach The

The bagels are also available frozen at 13 area locations, and fresh at a handful of others. In addition, once a week Squires ships bagels directly to 197 distant homes, from the Florida Keys to Anchorage, Alaska.

For a classic lox-and-bagel brunch, I drive to Susie Wilson Road or North Avenue.

And when I eat a Myers bagel with butter, I add salt. But like Squiresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; far-flung aficionados, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned that bagels can make good eating even if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not pretending to be from New York.

The most recent addition on the local bagel scene falls somewhere between New York and MontrĂŠal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in Richmond.

Raechel Barone, a 31-year-old former elementary school teacher, and her husband Ben Bush, 34, who used to work in scenic and lighting design, opened On the Rise on Bridge Street two and a half years ago. The bakery sells sweet rolls, scones, muffins, cakes, croissants, cookies and bars, and limited-edition bagels â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just six to 10 dozen a day.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re inspired by Absolute Bagels on Manhattanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Upper West Side, where Bush lived before

CafĂŠ at Myers, housed in a retrofitted industrial building off Pine Street. The smell of wood smoke hovers outside. The first thing you see stepping inside the broad space is the huge brick oven with its wood fire on one side and bagels baking on long, wooden pallets on the other.

Squires works alone, turning out between 300 and 600 dozen bagels a day. While other local bakers shape their bagels in a forming machine, he makes his the old-fashioned way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve hand-rolled 44 million bagels in my life,â&#x20AC;? says Squires, 42.

He also follows the traditional MontrĂŠal approach of adding honey to his boiling water.

To suit U.S. preferences, however, he kneads his dough without salt. The result is a healthier bagel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just 5 mg of sodium â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it can taste flat when eaten unadorned.

Myers bagels are skinnier than the New York-style variety, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;chubbierâ&#x20AC;? than those across the border, he says. So far, Squires has resisted adding flavors to his dough. But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supplemented the classic choices of plain, poppy, sesame, garlic, onion and salt with two varieties: cinnamon sugar and mouth-searing MontrĂŠal steak seasoning.

You can build a meal around a Myers bagel at the cafĂŠ that shares space with the bakery.

moving to Vermont.

On the Rise bagels smell similar to Parker House rolls and taste mildly sweet, with a texture thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more doughy than dense. Hand twisting gives them a distinctive shape. Rather than malt, the dough is sweetened with honey â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from Franklin Heyburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apiary in Waterville, Barone notes. On the Rise isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t big on variety: Plain bagels might be sprinkled with sesame, poppy or sunflower seeds. The bakery also offers multigrain, cinnamon raisin and love-themor-hate-them sourdough sesame bagels.

At $1 each, On the Rise bagels are pricier than most.

And customers who buy a dozen donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a break. In fact, bulk buys must be ordered before 7 a.m. the previous day. Sounds inconvenient, but the arrangement has its plus side: For customers who plan to freeze their bagels for future use, baker Steve Hoskins will leave them slightly undercooked, so they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be overdone when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re re-baked.

Fans swear these bagels are the best in Vermont. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re certainly delicious. But it will take some time for the purist in me to accept that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bagels.

When I do, it will take even longer for me to try them with peanut butter. >

So are the bagels. Plump and smooth, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hefty but not too huge, with a faint crackle to the crust, an airy, springy texture and a strong note of malt that fills the back of the mouth as you chew. Bryant Gumbel agrees. Back in the early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s, Goldbergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s product was featured on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Today Showâ&#x20AC;? as one of the best New York-style bagels baked outside the city. Business is brisk. Goldberg bakes between 250 and 265 dozen bagels on weekdays, and up to 800 dozen in the course of a weekend.

Goldberg and Brue may be northern Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bagel kings, but theirs are not the only bagels around. The Burlington Bagel Bakery has been a major player on the scene since 1979, when Roy Feldman and Marty Schwartz opened it across from City Hall Park. After a 1989 kitchen fire, it reopened on Shelburne Road in South Burlington. Tammy and Kyle Fersing have operated it since 2002.

The Colchester natives learned the bagel business in Colorado, of all places. The recipe they brought with them adheres to the traditional technique, but yields a product thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s softer and milder than the classic New

Her new disc, Until We Felt Red, trades busy guitar lines for the introspective haze of post-rock. King may have broadened her sonic palette, but her instrumental prowess is very much intact.

Expect six-string reveries of the most adventurous kind when she returns to the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this Saturday. Her appearance is part of The Yellow Umbrella Tour, a musical jaunt to raise awareness about cervical cancer.

HOUSE OF TWANG

Local cowboy rocker Brett Hughes is settin’ down the gee-tar and grabbin’ his vintage wax for a night of “scratchy old country” at Winooski’s Monkey House.

Every Monday night, Hughes will serve up road burn and heartache in an all-vinyl extravaganza called “Truck Stop Rock.” Now you can request “18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses” without weird looks from the DJ. According to Hughes, revelers can expect “cheap-ass Pabst in a tub of ice, grilled-cheese sandwiches and free pool.” That’s in addition to “tunes about truckin’, fuckin’, killin’ and lovin’.” What more can a weary body need? Well, maybe a tall glass of soymilk and a good night’s sleep.

Word on the street is that there might even be prizes. Wonder what they could be? I’m guessing daddy’s broken pool cue and a sweat-stained John Deere cap. Can I get a yee-haw?

CLONE WARS

What’s the deal with all the metal tributes popping up lately? Last week I told you about the Iron Maiden covers act, Made In Iron. A few months ago I wrote about Bone Cobra, the ’80s hair-band facsimile featuring ex-Static Age drummer Bobby Hackney Jr. The latter is playing a gig at Winooski’s storied Trackside Tavern on Friday, Oct. 20.

The Trackside is no stranger to hard-rock covers acts. In fact, it’s anybody’s guess whether patrons will know BC are tongue-in-cheek.

Here’s a snippet from the band’s online bio: “With nothing but a desire to rock hard, Bone Cobra waded deep into the dark yet sweet waters of 80s rock. They emerged with screaming instruments, wigs and tight pants in place, to bring to the people the sounds they have yearned for since spandex fell.”

Not sure if I was yearning, per se, but it’s hard not to get a little pumped about choice Mötley Crüe and Poison covers. C’mon, admit it — you dig ’em, too.

FOLK MOURNS

Nationally popular Vermont folk act Wood’s Tea Co. recently lost multi-instrumentalist Chip Chase due to a sudden embolism.

Although the remaining members are devastated by the loss, they intend to carry on as a performing and recording entity.

Chase, a mathematician/songwriter who also worked in the movie biz as an actor, casting director and sometime stuntman, took some time off from the group in July because of a motorcycle accident in which he suffered a broken arm. His passing is likely related to the original injury.

Although Chase was a resident of Union, New Hampshire, he was a familiar presence to Vermonters, having performed with WTC since 2000.

“The thing that differentiated Chip from other folk performers is that he had a theater background,” says bandmate Rusty Jacobs.

“We’re a group that gets more involved with our audiences, and tend to break that wall down. He not only understood that, but

helped us do it to an even greater extent.”

Jacobs wants fans to know the show will go on. “It’s the way we deal with something like this,” he says. “Sitting at home and thinking about it is just not good for us. But we’re not gonna go out and look for a replacement right away; we’ll use substitutes for the time being.”

As many musicians are aware, being in a band provides a unique bonding experience. “We spent so much time together; we knew each other’s idiosyncrasies,” Jacob relates. “It’s more like losing a relative than, say, a co-worker.”

Our condolences go to Chase’s family, musical and otherwise.

NORTHERN SOUL

Eccentric songwriter B.J. Snowden is coming back to play two area shows this week; on Saturday, Oct. 21, Snowden rocks the Langdon St. Café in Montpelier at 4 p.m. A mere four hours later, she’ll be at Burlington’s Radio Bean.

For those of you unfamiliar with her highly unique music, here’s the rundown. A resident of Billerica, Massachusetts, Snowden pens songs inspired by her love for Canada, which she performs on keyboard, occasionally accompanied by her guitarist son.

Snowden bristles at the term “outsider artist,” but there really isn’t any other way to describe her. Although she’s got a degree in applied music from the prestigious Berklee College and has worked as a music educator, Snowden’s piano chops are hardly up to Chopin standards. Her voice is a little off as well, but this only adds to the music’s oddball charm.

“In Canada, they treat you like a queen / In Canada, they never will be mean,” Snowden sings in the aptly titled “In Canada.” “In Canada, they treat you like a king” / You’ll feel welcome / It makes you want to sing,” she continues. Amazingly, the Canadian Board of Tourism does not fund her work.

Seven Days’ own Cathy Resmer interviewed the songstress the last time she was here; it’s archived on our website, www.seven daysvt.com. To hear a sample of Snowden’s kooky tunes, head to www.MySpace.com/BJSnowden.

MAKING — AND BREAKING — THE BAND

Montpelier-based music blogger Brian Murphy’s site, False 45th, was recently featured in a Rolling Stone infographic about web-scribes’ influence on band popularity. The chart is called “First Hype, Then Kill,” and tracks the ascension and subsequent flameout of several indie-rock darlings, including Arctic Monkeys and Tapes ’N Tapes.

I actually read the piece a couple of days ago but failed to catch the False 45th byline. Murphy, who recently returned from a Northeast Kingdom Music Festival conference on blogging, posted about the RS incident; that’s where I caught on. Not one to miss out on a lively debate about music criticism and print vs. online media, I jumped into the comments fray.

FAREWELL, FEATHERED FRIENDS

Plattsburgh’s longest-running independent record store, Peacock Music, recently announced it would be closing its doors sometime in December. The news isn’t entirely surprising, considering the welldocumented difficulties traditional music sellers have had since the advent of CD burning and digital downloads.

Gary Peacock, who also runs a successful DJ service, owns the store. He sold first vinyl LP back in December 1983; since then, Peacock Music has been Plattsburgh’s go-to shop for sounds. I recently spoke with Peacock about the decision to shut down.

SEVEN DAYS: How did your customer demographic change after the digital revolution?

GARY PEACOCK: The college base virtually disappeared. Well, not completely, but the numbers really shrunk.

SD: Which do you think cut into your business the most, downloading or the ease of copying?

GP: I think it was the CD burning. The comment I hear most often is “Don’t buy that — I’ll burn it for you tonight.”

SD: Did you take any particular measures to keep the younger people coming in to the store?

GP: I broadened what we carried — things like posters and T-shirts. We also sold concert tickets. There was limited success with some of that.

SD: Selling seems to attract people, but it’s kind of like penny candy.

GP: Yeah, you don’t make much off of it. You get them in the store, but then they spend their whole budget on tickets. Or they’ve burned the CD, so they have no desire to buy it.

SD: What was behind the final decision to close up shop?

GP: It was kind of a cumulative thing. I probably could’ve hung on for another year or two, but I was concerned that by that time I’d have to close. Here, I have a choice.

SD: Any special closing stuff planned?

GP: We’ve got an ongoing sale and contest right now. It’s very interactive, a lot of fun. We’re giving away a home theater, a JetBlue gift certificate for $500, an acoustic guitar, and a Beatles box set. It’s an eight-to-10-week event that will wrap up sometime near the end of December when we close the store.

SD: People like indie shops because the employees are often more knowledgeable than their chain-store counterparts.

Obviously you’ll be missed.

GP: There’s been an incredible outpouring since we made our announcement — people have been coming in the store crying. Some give me ideas about how to keep it going. My favorite bit of advice was to open a beer distributorship and have a music store on the side. My employees want me to open a bookmobile, but for music.

SD: That’d be great. You could have a bell like the ice-cream man.

GP: Yeah, ding, ding ding — we’re here! �

HEX IN THE CITY ::

Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Cccome? defy easy description, but front man Smokey Knolls (a.k.a. Radio

Bean proprietor Lee Anderson) favors the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;psychedelic blues.â&#x20AC;? The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spookily hypnotic pulse is built on the curious combo of electric mandolin, bass, drums and harmonica. Spoken-word passages guide the listener through narcotic grooves and whooping riffs; picture early Black Sabbath fronted by a shamanistic carnival barker. The band plays Club Metronome this Friday, with a bevy of freaky friends including Appalachianstyle troubadour Shawn Grady, â&#x20AC;&#x153;undead folkâ&#x20AC;? performer Leanna Inzalaco, spazz-rockers Activists/Dictators, and hardcore conjurors Mountain

reviewthis JAPHY RYDER, JAPHY RYDER (Self-released, CD) Burlington’s Japhy Ryder are committed musicians who don’t let 40-hour work weeks get in the way of steady gigging. They’re a regular presence on the Vermont club circuit and have been invited to open for several big-name acts including the Roots and Ozomatli. Now, the trumpet-driven, instrumental quartet is gearing up for the release of their self-titled full-length debut. Chances are, their schedules will only get busier.

It’s not entirely fair to call JR as a jam band, as most of their songs are tightly scripted. The funk of yore provides them with their main source of inspiration, although elements of the burgeoning “live electronic” genre occasionally make their way into the mix. The disc’s overall production is praiseworthy — especially considering it was tracked in a Long Island basement in a mere two days.

Most of the tunes on Japhy Ryder are solid, some of ’em even soulful. Trumpeter Will Andrews plays with a laid-back assuredness, favoring old-school cool over brassy flash. Guitarist Jeremy Kizina has more in common with Afrobeat axe men than jazzy jammers; he rarely plays chords, instead opting to echo Andrews’ melodies with single-note wah-wah lines. With bassist Patrick Ormiston’s portly grooves and drummer Jason Thime’s crisp rhythmic articulation, the band arrives at a unique sound.

What I like most about the album is the fact that it doesn’t sound forced or contrived. So many jam acts approach songs as instrumental exercises or, worse, vehicles for quirky observations and half-baked prose.

The latter certainly doesn’t apply here, as JR have no vocalist. But the band also understands that music requires breathing room to truly groove.

“W.E.S.T” — an acronym for Will’s Electronic Space Trumpet — is a fine example of the band’s patience.

Each player is allowed plenty of space to maneuver, as the song builds on a somewhat generic breakbeat to become a neo-funk sizzler.

Still, Japhy are a couple of notches below extraordinary. “Judicial Review” aims for psychedelic dub, occasionally sounds like Chuck Mangione gone ambient electro. There are choice moments, however, particularly Kizina’s broadly panned guitar and Thime’s slippery rimshots.

“No Complaints, Mr. Sprinkles” is, according to the band, named after a homeless man in Troy, New York.

The song is proudly manic, switching from splatter-funk to Zappa-esque wank to downtempo space-disco in just over six minutes. No doubt its namesake has as many kooky moods.

The disc closes with “. . . I Guess That’s It,” a minor-key churner closer to moody jammers Lake Trout than any feel-good funk act. With its somber, repeating guitar figure and reverb-y trumpet, it’s the most sonically interesting tune on the album.

Japhy Ryder are well on their way to distinction in an all-too homogenized scene. If they continue to explore the intersections of groove, dub and retro funk, they might one day be untouchable. Catch their release party with U-Melt on Friday, Oct. 20, at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge.

BANJO DAN, SONGS OF VERMONT VOL. III (Self-released, CD) During the past 30 years, Vermont musical treasure Dan Lindner has released more than 10 albums in a variety of different genres. He’s served up bluegrass with Banjo Dan & the Mid-nite Plowboys, classic vocal country with brother Willy Lindner as the Sky Blue Boys, and has a set of solo CDs about the Green Mountains and its colorful history.

Songs of Vermont, Volume III is a showcase for the many styles of music Lindner has mastered. It’s also a testament to his networking skills, as he’s managed to get all sorts of performers involved in his project. Guests include well-known Aetna, N.H., radio voice Willem Lange; a Vermont Youth Orchestra string quartet; a Russian duo that plays domra (a close cousin to the balalaika) and bayan (the Eastern European version of the button accordion); members of the choral group Social Band; and Red Onion Jazz Band players.

The 13 Lindner originals on the album are steeped in curious Vermont lore. There’s the unsolved murder of farmer Orville Gibson, who was discovered trussed up like a chicken in the Connecticut River in 1957, as well as the strange tale of Phineas Gage, a railroad worker who survived a dramatic head injury that completely changed his personality and inadvertently helped generations of brain surgeons. Another of Linder’s story-songs concerns the catastrophic and spooky burning of the steamboat Phoenix in the fall of 1819.

My personal favorite is a collection of cemetery inscriptions found in an old Berlin, Vermont, graveyard set as a Sacred Harp a cappella piece.

The large cast of accomplished musicians who appear on the disc help to make Lindner’s fine compositions glitter. Together, they’ve created an album destined to become a Vermont music classic.

into the woods

While some Halloween spectacles rely more on gore than plot points, The Haunted Forest prides itself on spirited theater. More than 400 volunteers get their freak on at the family-friendly, community-based outdoor show, which so impressed Maine suspense novelist Mark LaFlamme that he contributed scripts for this year’s production. In it, 11 skits scattered along a mile of forested trail feature bumbling witches, philosophy-spouting yokels and hippie zombies. One thousand jack-o’-lanterns will light the way, but beware of the “scare force” — a costumed cadre designated to spook passersby at random. The show also runs October 26-28, and three Saturday matinees provide a tamer version of the nighttime fright fare for ghostlets ages 7 and under.

scene@ CRIME AND PUNISHMENT DAY Fort Ticonderoga, Ticonderoga, N.Y., Saturday, October 14, 10:30 A.M.

PHOTO: CATHY RESMER

It was a sunny, blustery fall morning at Fort Ticonderoga â&#x20AC;&#x201D; gorgeous weather for a public execution, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re into that sort of thing. Apparently it was big three centuries ago.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what guides Karl Crannell and Anne McCarty told our group of 12 visitors during a ghoulish half-hour crime-and-punishment-themed tour of the fort. The two guides â&#x20AC;&#x201D; dressed, like everyone else at Fort Ty, in 18th-century garb â&#x20AC;&#x201D; reviewed the discipline methods used by British and later by early-American authorities.

Two words sum it up: â&#x20AC;&#x153;cruelâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;unusual.â&#x20AC;?

Our tour started at the gallows. Crannell led us to a noose swinging at eye level above a green lawn overlooking the lake. He described how a soldier convicted of desertion would be carted out of the fort, and the troops would stand in a square around the gallows to watch him hang. The public might also have been invited.

McCarty noted that these public displays became eerily popular in the colonies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an account of one execution prior to the American Revolution mentions a woman selling apple pies to the crowd. This did not please the authorities, who eventually barred spectators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over time,â&#x20AC;? Crandall intoned, â&#x20AC;&#x153;public executions ceased to be serious, contemplative, moral. They became carnival-like, and that was unseemly.â&#x20AC;?

The tour continued inside the fort, where Crannell demonstrated the clog, a small wooden log attached by a chain to an ankle cuff. Civilians convicted of minor offenses might be made to muck the stalls while wearing it. Then he pointed to a white shirt splotched with red hanging from a tripod near a stone wall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is where the flogging would take place,â&#x20AC;? he deadpanned.

After miming a few lashes with an imaginary cat oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nine tails, he led us to the pillory. He leaned against it casually while describing other methods of punishment, including branding, and the use of something called â&#x20AC;&#x153;the neck violin.â&#x20AC;?

When he was through, he gleefully invited us to have a turn in the pillory.

GRAVE MATTERS Pre-Halloween, sham foam slabs turn up in the lawns of overzealous holiday decorators dying to portray bona fide boneyards. But who minds the real headstones? The Vermont Cemetery Association is the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only professional organization for actual cryptkeepers. Patrick Healy of the Green Mountain Cemetery in Montpelier says the VCA trains its members in all things sepulchral, from accounting and legal matters to arranging for memorials. Unlike historical societies, the VCA deals only with â&#x20AC;&#x153;workingâ&#x20AC;? cemeteries.

Mortality-minded members of the public can sit in on an annual meeting with talks explaining common cenotaph symbols and tomb maintenance. A guided tour of Barreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sculpture-laden Hope Cemetery wraps up the cold-storage conclave.

MATURE CONTENT Women of a certain age often grapple with stereotypes that relegate them to granny-hood. Upon facing their 60th birthdays, six female playwrights from around the country each penned a one-act play about women and aging in America. Their idea was to celebrate the creative energy of maturing baby-boomer babes. Vermont offers the sixth and final site for the resultant, nationally touring festival, 6 Women @ 60 in 2006, which also highlights artwork and poetry produced by women with at least six decades’ life experience. A Saturday lunch discussion with all six scribes addresses the dramatic arts from a pro perspective, and a potluck brunch with area experts on women and aging precedes the Sunday matinée.

Mistress

Maeve

Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust!

Dear Mistress Maeve, After a decade of living every gay man’s dream bachelor life in San Francisco, I met and fell in love with the perfect man while vacationing in Vermont. I fell for him so hard that I moved here to be closer to him. We have the same sense of humor, the same spiritual beliefs and the same career and family goals. There is just one problem: we’re both tops. I’m more passive in everyday life, but in the bedroom, we keep butting heads – and not the right ones. Can two tops make it work?

Tell me what to do!

Russell

Dear Russell, Didn’t you do any prescreening about this issue before you hopped a plane to live happily ever after? Perhaps you were just too smitten to face the reality of your sexual incompatibility? If you want to continue this relationship, you have some teamwork to do. Having spent much time in the gay community admiring its many sexual subcultures and traditions, I must say this: gay men need to be more open. If Gay men stopped worrying so much about who was supposed to be the top, the bottom or the meat in a three-way man sandwich, everyone would have much more fun. I suggest picking up Gay Men and Anal Eroticism: Tops, Bottoms and Versatiles by Steven G. Underwood (Harrington Park Press, 2003). Through interviews with gay men, the author reveals the psychological secrets behind being top, bottom or other. Reading this book together would give you and your love insight into what the other is looking for in the bedroom. Solving this problem will demand that both of you make some concessions in the sack, but it could be fun. If you’re both willing to switch positions and catch while the other pitches, you might just hit a homerun.

Batter up,

MM

Jake: Woof! I’m Jake. I am a 4-year-old neutered male Spaniel mix. I am calm, playful, affectionate, social, confident, attentive, gentle, and talkative (if I’m hungry). I came to HSCC because I was abandoned at a motel. My previous folks might not have been able to keep me but, they must have cared for me because they did teach me some cool things like ‘sit’, ‘lie down’, and ‘give paw’. They also seem to have taught me how to be an all-around nice dog. For instance, I really like the company of people and dogs and could live with another dog and possibly cats. I like to play with other dogs and with toys. It’s fun – even more so now that I’ve slimmed down a bit with regular exercise and a healthy diet at HSCC. I’m still a bit overweight so regular exercise is important for me… and you! I’d like to go to dog class to learn more things – you can check out the classes HSCC offers. I’m very food motivated and learn quickly. Since I was a stray, a home with kids 8 and up would be best for me. Are you the one to give me a permanent, loving, and fun home?! I’m ready!

Visit me at HSCC, 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday, from 1 to 6 pm, or Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm.
