theREALESTATEDEAL IN THE GARDEN WITH...

My dream vacation would be... at a lodge in the mountains where I could choose to hike, fish, swim, or sail; my meals would be served and the beds would be comfortable!

If I weren’t a Realtor, I would be... in the health profession and study complementary medicine.

CHARLOTTE GARDNER If I could eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be... Sam Mazza’s raspberry-filled cookies or Al’s French Frys!

Before I was a Realtor, one of my interesting jobs was... as a high school English and history teacher.

My most prized possessions are... the pictures of my family, and my memories.

My favorite lunch place is... Chef’s Corner in Williston.

My favorite toy as a kid was... a soapbox car, which I made with neighborhood friends out of an orange crate.

On a Sunday morning, you will most likely find me... swimming or kayaking before I go to work at an open house!

The talent I wish I possessed is... the ability to write extemporaneously.

If I had $10.99 to spend, I would buy... a book at Barnes & Noble.

If there were an extra hour in the day, I would spend it... exercising or at Bikram Yoga!

The movie I have watched most is...

Glory Road, about the Texas Western basketball team.

One thing people are surprised to find out about me is that... I went skydiving and loved it!

HOUSING CRUNCH I cannot understand why we are still having this conversation about UVMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing situation [Local Matters, August 27]. The issue has been studied, re-studied, analyzed, prioritized and compartmentalized, and UVM has yet to live up to its obligations.

It is imperative that the city powers-that-be stop bending to the will of UVM. Will someone, anyone, for once, stand up to this giant and hold them accountable? UVM must develop more â&#x20AC;&#x201D; much more â&#x20AC;&#x201D; student housing. Yes, they did build some new units, but with the increase in student enrollment, it does not come close to even attempting to meet these new demands. Why does the city continually allow this?

Working families have long been exploited in Burlington.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it: Vermont has the oldest housing stock in the nation. We pay outrageous rents for apartments that I would not even want a dog to live in.

Yet we pay and pay and pay.

We must establish rent control.

There are too many working families ending up homeless.

All of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;affordableâ&#x20AC;? housing programs out there are not really affordable to the average working family.

Wine Tasting!

When will there be a real, sincere effort to end this problem instead of all of the posturing?

Jackie Hickerson BURLINGTON

TEFLON TIM? For the umpteenth time, I am struck by the irony of Seven Daysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coverage of Tim Ashe, ubiquitous city politician [Local Matters, August 27]. I am a faithful reader, especially on city issues, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen a disclosure, in connection with any of the stories where Mr. Ashe is a source or a subject, that he is also the domestic partner of one of the paperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owners.

As the most recent story makes clear, Tim Ashe aims to shape city and state policy for many years to come. The couple is entitled to their privacy, certainly, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your readers deserve to understand that the chances of seeing Tim Ashe cast in a negative light in the pages of Seven Days are virtually nil?

Lucy Totten

over the years in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Track.â&#x20AC;?

Freyne portrayed Ashe negatively and positively, depending on the councilorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions. Seven Days will continue to apply that standard to its coverage of Ashe as long as he makes news. Routly does not shape or edit any stories in which Ashe is featured.

How is it â&#x20AC;&#x153;ironicâ&#x20AC;? that two peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jobs intersect? Welcome to Vermont.

and crazy 4th of July parties.

I have good memories of what they tried to accomplish and, if I could, I would certainly live in that kind of situation again.

TOUCHSTONE MEMORIES Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m surprised that Susan Green didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mention Touchstone in Bristol, Vermont [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hippie Havens,â&#x20AC;? August 20].

I grew up there, being about 12 when my parents and my uncle and various other people (who mostly all still live in that area) got together, bought land, built houses, pooled resources, raised kids and had some wild

Âťwebpage Âť TEXT WGME TO 21321 Does that headline make sense to you? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a type of instruction youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see more and more in the coming months, as cellphone text alert campaigns proliferate in Vermont.

Not familiar with text alerts?

Basically, subscribing to them is like subscribing to an email newsletter, only the messages are really, really short â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re delivered to your cellphone.

Text alerts have been in the news this summer, particularly when Barack Obama announced his vice presidential nominee to tech-savvy supporters via text message.

Nielsen Mobile estimates that nearly 3 million people received Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veep text. The Democratic Party later plugged the texting campaign from the stage before Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech. Last week, they also sent out a text asking supporters to donate money to the Red Cross to help with Hurricane Gustav relief efforts.

Local companies have started experimenting with texting,

Speaking Volumes, VCAM, JDK, The Green Door Studio and SEABA Headquarters were among videographer Eva Sollbergerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stops during last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s South End Art Hop.

Well, apparently, it does the folks at Every Woman Physical Therapy, one of the stops, at 208 Flynn Ave., along this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s South End Art Hop. The photographer, Kimberley Hannaman Taylor, says that, after hanging her 24 postcard-sized photographs at Every Woman, she received a call from the South End Arts & Business Association. She was told that Toby Richman, Every Womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner, had objected to this photo and two similar images. While the exhibitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s content is, overall, pretty benign â&#x20AC;&#x201D; landscapes, a ferry, fruits, vegetables â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the baby-doll pix were such an affront to Richman that she demanded that Taylor remove the whole shebang before the patrons start arriving this evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The photos do not depict nudity, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not political, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not violent,â&#x20AC;? Taylor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re photographs of an inanimate object lying in the snow.â&#x20AC;?

WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S GOOD

[COLLEGE]

What a Weekend So, I had quite an eventful weekend, if I may say so.

Friday evening was, of course, the South End Art Hop, which proved once again to be one of the most awesome things about Burlington. I got to see lots of cool art, mingle with cool people, and hear cool music â&#x20AC;&#x201D; although I missed The Cushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set at the JDK design studio because I totally lost track of where I was and ended up at the wrong end of Maple St. But best of all, I got a nifty new Seven Days T-shirt, screenprinted right before my eyes. Awesome.

But speaking of those JDK folks . . . the launch party they put on in celebration of their book of Higher Ground posters, __ of 1500, was fantastic.

9/8/08 9:01:24 AM

ast Saturday morning, during the South End Art Hop, Steve Norman sat on a stool outside Fresh Market on Pine Street. He was keeping his eye on both the thickening clouds and the display of posters he had set up to promote his new slogan for Burlington: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The San Francisco of New England.â&#x20AC;?

The posters, with the slogan printed along the bottom in orange letters, sold for $10 each and featured a few iconic images of the city â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a snowcovered pier, cyclists crossing a wooden bridge, Lake Champlain in a dramatic light.

The previous evening, when the street was thick with the Art Hop crowd, Norman sold 10 of the posters. That was the easy part. The bigger challenge was trying to win people over to the idea that the Queen City can be compared to a major metropolis 3000 miles away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a lot of smiles,â&#x20AC;? he recalled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;some outright laughs, a lot of I-donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t-get-its and some frowns.â&#x20AC;?

Norman, 62, admits he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x153;a branding person.â&#x20AC;? An attorney by trade, he also admits his idea isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t completely original, coming as it does one year after the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce rolled out its official tagline for the region, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The West Coast of New England.â&#x20AC;? Like many locals, Norman knew that expression had been around since the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s.

If his new slogan seems derivative, it also comes cheap. His campaign to â&#x20AC;&#x153;re-brandâ&#x20AC;? Burlington has so far cost him â&#x20AC;&#x153;a few thousand dollarsâ&#x20AC;? in the posters and postcards he has distributed to local shops and businesses for sale as souvenirs. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also set up a website, www.SFofNE.com, to promote his slogan.

The chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slogan, on the other hand, was the culmination of the yearlong Burlington Branding Project. Conducted by Lexington, Mass.-based consultant Bill Wilkie at a cost of $35,000, the project set out to discover â&#x20AC;&#x201D; through focus groups, an online survey and oneon-one interviews â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the appeal that Burlington holds for tourists and potential new businesses.

Wilkieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final report was loaded with marketing jargon and buzzwords, not to mention the kind of observations that would hardly seem to require the services of an out-of-state consultant: Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful here; â&#x20AC;&#x153;quaint and charmingâ&#x20AC;? even.

The natives are tolerant and friendly.

Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spirit is â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;chill,â&#x20AC;? but not â&#x20AC;&#x153;frosty.â&#x20AC;?

Nor is it hick or hillbilly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is rural,â&#x20AC;? the report stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but not threatening, Hatfields-and-Mc Coys/Deliverance rural . . .â&#x20AC;?

Noting that few tourists stay in Burlington for more than two or three days, Wilkie concluded that the city is in â&#x20AC;&#x153;aspirationalâ&#x20AC;? mode â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an â&#x20AC;&#x153;almost placeâ&#x20AC;? that must find â&#x20AC;&#x153;the sweet spot between cherishing its charms and strengths without losing perspective.â&#x20AC;?

Some might argue that linking Burlington to the far edge of the continent is hardly keeping things in perspective. Chamber direc-

tor Tim Shea said the committee charged with choosing the slogan considered dozens of suggestions, but kept coming back to â&#x20AC;&#x153;The West Coast of New England.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, gosh, if we pick that one, people will say we went through this whole process to pick that,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Shea recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But why create a new one just to create a new one?â&#x20AC;?

After settling on the slogan, the chamber unveiled an online branding â&#x20AC;&#x153;tool kit,â&#x20AC;? which provides photos and focus-group-tested phrases that tourism-related businesses can use in their own advertising.

The site receives about 80 visits a month. Shea is pleased with the response, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unable to say whether the project has actually enticed more visitors to the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried to be reflective of the brand,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those fuzzy things to measure.â&#x20AC;?

is selling: the views, the lake and the weekendgetaway convenience that brings so many Bostonians and MontrĂŠalers to town.

But while the chamber has chosen to downplay the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban character in favor of something it calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;tame country,â&#x20AC;?

Norman wants to play up Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cosmopolitan elements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes sense to advertise Burlington as something vital and happening and ambitious,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got architecture and industry and trade and commerce.

San Francisco was a huge lumber port in the 1850s, just like Burlington was for the East Coast.â&#x20AC;?

Beyond the scenery and the amenities common to any city, the San Francisco-Burlington analogy breaks down pretty quickly, Norman admits, especially for those who have actually visited the more famous â&#x20AC;&#x153;city by the bay.â&#x20AC;?

Helen Fuqua, manager of Apple Mountain Vermont Gifts on the Church Street Marketplace, said her customers respond to both slogans with mild amusement.

The two â&#x20AC;&#x153;West Coastâ&#x20AC;? T-shirts her shop carries do all right, she said, but are â&#x20AC;&#x153;hardly bestsellers.â&#x20AC;? As for Normanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s San Francisco postcards, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we went through 50 of them and just reordered,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that Norman has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;working his idea pretty hard.â&#x20AC;?

Normanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s San Francisco analogy is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a good idea,â&#x20AC;? said Jeremy Bond, owner of Champlain Leather on Cherry Street. While the post-

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Burlington. Why would you want to make comparisons to someplace else?

HANNAH HAUPT, FROG HOLLOW CRAFT CENTER Earlier this summer, Norman offered â&#x20AC;&#x153;The San Francisco of New Englandâ&#x20AC;? to the chamber, citing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;synergyâ&#x20AC;? the two slogans could generate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Take it and run with it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No, no. We think our campaign is going just fine.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

At that point, Norman set about selling it on his own. An attorney for Vermont Legal Aid for 22 years, Norman quit the nonprofit in 2005 to start a design and publishing firm he calls Linearc. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the name of a geometric bicycle Norman designed and introduced a couple years back. The Linearc features pedals that pump up and down instead of rotating, making for what he claims is a faster, more efficient ride. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The San Francisco of New Englandâ&#x20AC;? is a less audacious endeavor for Norman than was the bike, but it faces an equally difficult challenge â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to change how people perceive a product theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably inclined to accept as is.

Just as Norman has no quarrel with the traditional bicycle, his slogan isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an attempt to reinvent the chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wheel, as it were. Indeed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The San Francisco of New Englandâ&#x20AC;? relies on the same Burlington attributes the chamber

cards havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sold well, he thinks the slogan will eventually catch peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fancy. In the meantime, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll support it on principle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it was absolutely ridiculous that the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber, which I joined two years ago and am a happy member of, paid $35,000 to somebody to come up with a phrase about Burlington that people have been saying anyway for years,â&#x20AC;? Bond said.

Hannah Haupt, a long-time employee at Frog Hollow State Craft Center, hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard of Normanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s San Francisco brand, nor does she hear tourists â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or anyone else â&#x20AC;&#x201D; invoke the chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slogan. But, having lived just south of San Francisco for a time, she thinks linking Burlington to the real West Coast is a little silly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Burlington,â&#x20AC;? she said with a skeptical grin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why would you want to make comparisons to someplace else?â&#x20AC;?

As he sat outside Fresh Market on Saturday, hoping the rain would hold off long enough for him to sell a few posters, Norman conceded that Haupt might be right: Perhaps Burlington should stand on its own merits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can see that point of view,â&#x20AC;? he said. >

Vermont Political Activist Arrested at RNC

BY MIKE IVES

ince graduating from the University of Vermont in May, Sam Maron has run afoul of the law on two continents for his political activism.

On August 15, during the Olympic Games, Maron, 22, was deported from Beijing after he dropped a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Free Tibetâ&#x20AC;? banner outside the headquarters of China Central Television. Then, last Monday, he was among hundreds of political activists arrested and jailed in St. Paul, Minnesota, during the Republican National Convention.

Around midday on September 1, the opening day of the convention, Maron was one of five activists with Vermont ties who helped protestors from Pittsburgh lock themselves to a car to prevent delegate buses from passing through an intersection. According to Maron, after ordering the protestors to disperse, about 80 officers, some wielding pepper spray, â&#x20AC;&#x153;corneredâ&#x20AC;? the group. Over the next hour, some activists were â&#x20AC;&#x153;draggedâ&#x20AC;? from the scene and arrested, Maron said. He and others were detained, searched and ordered to identify themselves.

After refusing to cooperate with police, Maron and a friend, a Vassar College student, were arrested along with other protesters in the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was totally arbitrary,â&#x20AC;? Maron recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were literally walking on the sidewalk following a dispersal order when they arrested us . . . It was very obvious that they rounded us up first, and then looked for a reason to do so.â&#x20AC;?

After being transferred to a local jail, Maron was separated from his friend and placed in a cell, where he was held for 48 hours. He was charged with disorderly conduct, obstructing traffic, obstructing the legal process and unlawful assembly.

Released on $1000 bail, Maron was met outside the jail by a

crowd of 50 or 60 people, who offered him bread, water and cigarettes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came here to protest the RNC because we want a better world,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of that world is solidarity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; supporting each other and building new, sustainable communities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so coming out and seeing that support was a clear sign of the way we want things to be.â&#x20AC;?

Maron, who drove to the fourday convention from Burlington in a rented Dodge, said Twin City activists had organized significant â&#x20AC;&#x153;anarchist/authoritarian resistanceâ&#x20AC;? for the convention. He and his fellow activists had been in touch with one group, the RNC Welcoming Committee, which helped out-of-town activists locate housing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went not against McCain,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but against the entire two-party system.â&#x20AC;?

man, was arrested September 1, more than 800 protesters and 19 media workers were arrested during the four-day convention.

In an interview with Goodman, Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher said the arrests were made in response to â&#x20AC;&#x153;brazen criminal acts,â&#x20AC;? such as blocking streets. Fletcher later admitted on the show that his department had hired infiltrators to spy on local activists in the months leading up to the convention â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a tactic the Minneapolis-based alternative weekly City Pages reported on in May. (City Pages writers also reported they were maced and assaulted while attempting to cover the protests.)

Maron, who is an intern at Students for a Free Tibet in New York City, plans to contest the charges against him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The case against us is slim to nil,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty confident that all of the charges will be dropped.â&#x20AC;? >

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a tough summer for Vermont composters. Two major operations, Intervale Compost Products in Burlington and the Vermont Composting Co. in Montpelier, have been threatened with closure for alleged violations of state law.

Meanwhile, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest composter, Vermont Natural Ag Products in Middlebury, has managed to remain above the regulatory fray. The fact that the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner, Robert Foster, is Gov. Jim Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brother-in-law has led to speculation in agricultural and political circles that Vermont Natural Ag enjoys special treatment from the state.

But, even Fosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competitors at Intervale and Vermont Compost say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen no evidence nepotism has played a role in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enforcement decisions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bob Foster is always careful to meet the criteria of on-farm composting,â&#x20AC;? said Glenn McRae, director of the Intervale Center, the nonprofit that manages the compost operation and the dozen or so farms at the site.

Karl Hammer, president of Vermont Compost Co., said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked with Foster on composting issues for 15 years and has â&#x20AC;&#x153;never given much credenceâ&#x20AC;? to the rumors that Fosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship with Douglas influences regulators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no knowledge that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s received any favorable treatment,â&#x20AC;?

Hammer said.

Last week, Seven Days visited Foster at the Middlebury locale of Foster Brothers Farm, which has been in his family for five generations. The 1500-acre farm, which also includes land in Weybridge, began its dairy operations in 1941, and today has more than 630 cows.

The family started up its commercial composting business, Vermont Natural Ag, in 1989.

Foster talked about the family farm during an interview in a converted dairy barn that now serves as the office of Vermont Natural Ag. On hand was his daughter, Heather Foster-Provencher, who handles marketing for the compost company. Both said that, if anything, the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship with the governor places the composting operation under more scrutiny than usual. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to make sure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 100 percent in compliance on everything,â&#x20AC;? Foster-Provencher said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always looking over our shoulder.â&#x20AC;?

Vermont Natural Ag produces some 45,000 cubic yards of compost per year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; five times as much as Intervale. The compost is made from waste from cows, horses, sheep, turkeys and chickens, as well as from food residuals, which Foster defines as â&#x20AC;&#x153;pre-consumerâ&#x20AC;? materials from local restaurants and grocery stores.

Some of the suspicion surrounding Foster stemmed from an Act 250 waiver the state granted Vermont Natural Ag in 2003, when the company added a new building and upgraded its bagging operation. Critics of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enforcement actions against Intervale and Vermont Compost point out that the Vermont Agency of Natural Re-

operation as an environmental and archeological hazard, claiming it sits atop an Abenaki burial ground.

The state also accused the facility, which is located in a floodplain, of dumping contaminated wastewater onto community garden plots.

Vermont Compostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s troubles with the state started in March, when neighbors complained about potential health hazards associated with Hammerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm, which abuts three homes on Montpelierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Main Street. In an email to Douglas, one neighbor said neighbors â&#x20AC;&#x153;have seen increased crowsâ&#x20AC;? and were worried about â&#x20AC;&#x153;the rat problemâ&#x20AC;? and run-off into the local water supply.

For his part, Foster has been supportive of Intervale and Vermont Compost in their battles with the

Some of the suspicion that Foster received preferential treatment stemmed from an Act 250 waiver the state granted Vermont Natural Ag in 2003. sources ordered those two operations to secure land-use permits, a process that can be costly and time-consuming. It did not require the same of Vermont Natural Ag. State regulators, however, concluded that Fosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operation didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need the permit because more than half of the raw materials composted at the site â&#x20AC;&#x201D; between 55 and 60 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; come from the Fostersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dairy farm. That means the business is considered a part of the farm, and is therefore eligible for an Act 250 exemption.

Foster considers his operation not only environmentally benign but proactively green. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invested more than a million dollars to protect local water resources, and he enjoys good relations with local officials and the community, which, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;usually manage to work together.â&#x20AC;?

That kind of good will also distinguishes Vermont Natural Ag from its embattled competitors.

The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enforcement actions at Intervale can be traced to complaints filed by Judy Dow, a member of the Vermont Commission on Native American Affairs. Dow criticized the Burlington composting

state. A member of the Composting Association of Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of Directors, Foster signed a letter in July that expressed the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frustration with a Natural Resources Board ruling that Hammer was bringing in too much waste from off-site and therefore needed a permit. The letter urged the Douglas administration to uphold the spirit of H.873, which imposed a freeze on Act 250 enforcement until 2010 to allow for a review of existing composting regulations.

A month later, the board and Vermont Compost reached an agreement that put the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enforcement order on hold and allowed Hammer to remain in business until July 2010 without an Act 250 permit. Foster is optimistic that Intervale will reach a similar agreement with regulators.

Hammer is similarly hopeful that regulators are now â&#x20AC;&#x153;making an effort to separate the substantive from the hysterical.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying that mistakes werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been disheartening to see so much exaggeration about our operations.

This is work we need to do in Vermont â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and do well.â&#x20AC;? >

OPEN SEASON ON VT POLITICS

Chef David & Paulineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Present: A Wild Foods Harvest Dinner

Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Campaign Communicators

T

he release last week of hundreds of Douglas administration emails shed light on how the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office tends to the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and its own.

Additional emails provided to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fair Gameâ&#x20AC;? show the administration is using thousands of dollars of Agency of Transportation funds to pay for communications positions within the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office.

These emails show that, while struggling to find jobs to cut, AOT officials debated whether they could eliminate an agency-funded position being used by the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office.

At issue in one June exchange is a position in the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office previously held

by Dave Coriell, who was listed as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;principal assistantâ&#x20AC;? at AOT. He left the $32,000 post in May.

groom â&#x20AC;&#x153;communicatorsâ&#x20AC;? for higher-level positions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or to work for Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; political operation.

One person who held an AOT-funded position within the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office is now the chief communicator for the Agency of Human Services, Kim Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary. She had been listed on the state payroll one year ago as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;private secretaryâ&#x20AC;? within AOT. As for Coriell, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now at a well-funded outfit called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jim Douglas for Governor,â&#x20AC;? where he earns about $2000 a month.

Joining Coriell on the campaign trail are two other Douglas aides â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dennise Casey and Erik Mason.

Casey, Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; current campaign manager, used to be the govâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secretary of civil and military affairs. She was earning around $64,000 at that post, but took a

The Douglas folks have defended the administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communications positions, claiming the taxpayer-funded staff does more than put the best spin on agency news.

Here are portions of that exchange, between Tina Brassard, AOTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special projects manager, and David Dill, who was AOTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy secretary at the time.

The emails discuss whether Coriellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s replacement will remain in Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; office or go back to AOT: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You will see position number 10 is the one I changed,â&#x20AC;? wrote Brassard, referring to an attached Excel spreadsheet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did not provide a lot of information on this one as it was not reporting here. This one is a bit political . . .â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the position that was being used in the Govâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office?â&#x20AC;? asks Dill, who is now agency secretary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to raise any flags with the information that is put with this position,â&#x20AC;? Brassard wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to make sure the Govâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office has no further use for the position,â&#x20AC;? replied Dill.

Brassard thought AOT could retain the position, but, in the end, Dill told her the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office wanted to keep it.

No word from Dill, Douglas press secretary Jason Gibbs or chief of staff Tim Hayward about what Coriellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s replacement does for Douglas, or if there are other similar positions in the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office.

An administration official said taking money from one agency to pay for a position in another department is not unprecedented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The former administration also utilized this practice,â&#x20AC;? said Linda McIntire, Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; deputy secretary of administration.

Sources tell â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fair Gameâ&#x20AC;? they believe these AOT-funded positions are used to

pay cut, to about $3600 a month, to join the campaign, according to finance reports.

The woman who held that post in Gov. Howard Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration, Kate Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor, also ran Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gubernatorial and presidential campaigns.

Mason, Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; deputy campaign manager, served as the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of the Vermont Commission on National and Community Service. Mason earned around $46,000 in that post. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now pulling down about $3000 a month with the campaign.

Think the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office is â&#x20AC;&#x153;savingâ&#x20AC;? money when these folks take leave from their taxpayer-funded jobs? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to say.

While Douglas did trim $24,000 in payroll costs and another $50,000 in office expenses in the recent round of budget reductions, his office has so far been spared any job cuts.

Grooming talent within an administration is nothing new, nor is it out of the ordinary for a top aide to take a leave of absence to work on a campaign.

The Douglas folks have defended the administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communications positions, claiming the taxpayer-funded staff does more than put the best spin on agency news.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it appears they also come in handy in a re-election campaign. Nice work if you can get it.

Ducking Debates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; One thingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure, Douglas needs no communications help when debating.

He held his own earlier this year at the first campaign debate sponsored by the Vermont Natural Resources Council. That debate focused on food, farming and the environment. At the time, Douglas was FAIR GAME >> 16A

coming under fire for actions his administration was taking against key compost operations.

Then-Progressive Anthony Pollina was in solid form that night and was a crowd favorite. Now, Pollina believes Douglas and Symington are doing all they can to duck future debates.

“A total of five gubernatorial debates have been cancelled so far, four of them in the last week, when either Douglas or Symington decided not to take part,” Polllina said. “This is completely unacceptable and is an insult to voters. We know they will spend big money on ads, but they can’t find a few hours to provide Vermonters an opportunity to hear from the candidates together? What are they afraid of?”

That last line is reminiscent of vintage Ben & Jerry’s, taken from the company’s most prominent protest campaign, “What’s the Doughboy Afraid Of?” The “protest” consisted of co-founder Jerry Greenfield picketing Pillsbury headquarters, asking why the food conglomerate was trying to keep Ben & Jerry’s out of stores where its Haagen-Dazs brand was sold. Both Ben Cohen and Greenfield back Pollina.

It’s clear that with little or no money coming in to help spread Pollina’s message via the airwaves, he needs the free media that comes with public debates.

But Symington won’t debate Pollina one-on-one.

Instead, she will only attend if Douglas also takes part. Her reasoning? It’s not a gubernatorial debate without the incumbent governor in the hot seat.

Not sure that’s the best strategy for someone who needs some help honing her debating skills. If I were Symington, I’d think of Pollina as a sparring partner.

The VT-NEA, representing 11,500 teachers and education professionals, and the roughly 8000-member Vermont State Employees Association are also poised to make their endorsements soon.

Word is, Pollina will receive the AFL-CIO endorsement. It’s anyone’s guess whom the VT-NEA or VSEA will endorse, but it probably won’t be Douglas. The governor didn’t return VSEA’s calls to meet, and the teachers didn’t ask to meet with him.

No surprise there: Many VSEA members would probably like to hand Douglas a pink slip.

Putting Compost to Bed — Intervale farmers, gardeners and composters may find out Friday if they’ll need to find new pastures.

So says Glenn McRae, the Intervale Center’s executive director.

The break in the months-long logjam occurred last week when the Chittenden Solid Waste District agreed to take over Intervale Compost Products. The move helped reinvigorate talks between the Intervale Center, the attorney general’s office (which is representing several state departments), the feds and the City of Burlington.

At issue is how to allow farming, gardening and other ag-related activities, along with passive recreation, at the Burlington site. Last year, the state decided that much of the composting operation needed land-use permits the center didn’t have.

Meanwhile, the state’s historic preservation division designated the whole area as a culturally sensitive site

Intervale farmers, gardeners and composters may find out Friday if they’ll need to find new pastures.

Douglas either refused to attend or didn’t get back to organizers in time for debates sponsored by the Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility, Renewable Energy Vermont and Ohavi Zedek Synagogue. Another hosted by the Vermont Alliance of Conservation Voters is being rescheduled.

Douglas’ campaign manager said the governor still expects to debate his foes a minimum of 14 times, so there’s plenty of opportunity to quiz all three.

All three candidates are scheduled to appear Thursday on “The Mark Johnson Show,” live from the World’s Fair in Tunbridge. They’re also scheduled to attend a forum, at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 10, in Randolph, hosted by the Vermont chapter of the National Education Association. That debate will be broadcast live on Vermont Public Television. And next week, the trio will be at the Associated Industries of Vermont’s annual meeting in Burlington.

Becoming an independent has caused Pollina to be turned away from only one debate so far. Officials from the Vermont League of Cities and Towns disinvited him from their Oct. 2 debate. League officials sent Pollina a note in July stating he could keep his slot in the program if he was shown to have at least 10 percent support in the polls by this Thursday.

The last polls we know about had Pollina in the single digits. With little money in his campaign coffers, he’d better hope someone else pays for another one — and soon.

The Union Label — With Labor Day behind us, it’s time for unions, newspapers and other organizations to begin issuing their endorsements.

Pollina has racked up the most endorsements among labor unions, including the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 2326, which represents FairPoint Communications workers; and Ironworkers Local 7, which represents workers in Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and Massachusetts.

Douglas has earned an endorsement from the Professional Firefighters of Vermont, which has consistently backed the governor.

Symington has yet to pick up a union endorsement.

This weekend we may see endorsements from the Vermont chapters of the National Education Association and the AFL-CIO, which is hosting its annual convention Saturday and Sunday at the

due to the presence of Abenaki artifacts.

Lately, however, the Douglas administration seems to be turning over a new leaf when it comes to composting.

Earlier this year, the Natural Resources Board ruled the Vermont Compost Company in Montpelier needed an Act 250 permit and issued an order that could have shut down the nationally renowned composter and forced owner Karl Hammer to pay $18,000 in fines. But last month the administration did an about-face and reached an agreement that allows Vermont Compost to stay in business without an Act 250 permit until 2010.

(The company agreed to curtail some of its operations and hours to accommodate neighbors.)

Douglas took heat over the heavy-handed approaches to Vermont Compost and Intervale Compost for two reasons: First, the state’s only other large compost operation is run by his brother-in-law, Robert Foster. To his credit, Foster didn’t support the administration’s actions against his fellow composters. (For more on that, see this week’s “Local Matters.”)

Second, the state hasn’t acted as tough with OMYA, a major polluter in Rutland County whose execs have raised thousands for Douglas’ campaigns in recent years. OMYA may also be dumping mine tailings without the proper Act 250 permit.

Additionally, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) has secured $60,000 in federal funds to help update the city’s flood maps, which will allow the Intervale Center to continue farming. The maps need to be updated because current zoning doesn’t allow farmers to place some temporary structures, such as hoop houses, in parts of the Intervale.

McRae, who inherited the mess when he came on board in August, told “Fair Game” he is looking forward to a resolution. “Everybody is talking and everybody is looking for a good solution to all of this,” he said. “Nobody is stonewalling or not being engaged — which is a big difference.”

Speaking of stone walls, I hear a permit is needed to build one these days.

As Robert Frost might put it, fences may make good neighbors, but Act 250 makes for damn poor poetry. � To reach Shay Totten, email shay@sevendaysvt.com.

Book Fest Draws Lit Luminaries to Burlington

BY MARGOT HARRISON

A

uthors may not have quite the pull of Hollywood celebrities, but when they read from their own work, their cadences can fill a room. This weekend, some famous voices will be raised for the first time at the fourth annual Burlington Book Festival. After an opening ceremony featuring Sen. Bernie Sanders and Mayor Bob Kiss, Pulitzer Prize winner and former U.S. Poet Laureate Charles Simic reads his verse.

No one spins a twisted adult fairy tale like Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked; on Saturday, he gives fans a taste of his latest novel, A Lion Among Men. Later the same afternoon, acclaimed Canadian novelist Alistair MacLeod

takes the stage (see story). Writers in the booming memoir genre are represented, too, such as John Elder Robison, big brother of Augusten Burroughs (see story) and Ann Hood, whose stark, true narrative of losing her 5-year-old daughter has drawn critical raves â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and tears.

Plenty of Vermont writers will speak at the fest, from Archer Mayor to Katherine Paterson to James Kochalka. Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Louella Bryant takes on a turbulent period in U.S. history in her book about the fate of Howard Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother Charlie (see story). And aspiring local authors can take advantage of workshops on getting motivated and published.

Festival Director Rick Kisonak says lining up authors is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a yearlong crapshoot. You do detective work, send a million emails out into the ether, and once in a while somebody like Alistair [MacLeod] actually writes back.â&#x20AC;? But while drawing household names may be a chancy endeavor, he adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The festival does seem to be getting a reputation for being worth the trip.â&#x20AC;? > Burlington Book Festival, Friday afternoon through Sunday, September 12-14, at various downtown locations. See www. burlingtonbookfestival.com for schedule. Most events are free.

ohn Elder Robison prefers machines to people. Machines are predictable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; governed by rules and logic. People, on the other hand, are unpredictable, and at times illogical.

Robisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memoir Look Me in the Eye is a personal account of living with Aspergerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an autism spectrum disorder often characterized by social dysfunction and ineptitude, poor motor skills, and compulsive interests and behaviors.

But his story also resonates with anyone who has struggled with being â&#x20AC;&#x153;different.â&#x20AC;?

The memoir follows Robison as he plows through schools and therapists as a kid, undiagnosed and unsupported â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an experience that left him and his family exasperated and confused.

A 10th-grade dropout, Robison nonetheless had skills with electronics that got him work in the 1970s with bands such as Pink Floyd and KISS. After leaving the rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll world, he designed talking toys for Milton Bradley.

In 1986, Robison launched a European car sales and service business after giving up on trying to pass as â&#x20AC;&#x153;normalâ&#x20AC;? in society. Relating to cars was easier. He first learned about Aspergerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Syndrome from a man who came to his garage for repairs.

Today, Robison is married with a son. His book often puts him on the road, where he speaks to groups and at festivals. Large crowds can cause crippling anxiety to someone with Aspergerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Robison does his best to cope, he says, and his fans help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have learned that people who come to see me are basically kindly disposed toward me, so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry so much about the crowds,â&#x20AC;? Robison tells Seven Days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to spread my message of tolerance, understanding and hope, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m willing to put up with some discomfort to do so.â&#x20AC;?

Robisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest fan is his younger brother, Augusten Burroughs, who focused on him in one chapter of his bestselling memoir Running With Scissors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sparking the interest of Aspergerians and their families.

Robison left home at 16, when

Burroughs was 8, leaving his little brother devastated. The two remain close to this day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; literally, living in adjoining homes in Massachusetts.

In 2005, after their father became ill and died, Robison wrote an essay about the experience, which Burroughs posted on his website. Reader interest ran so high that Burroughs suggested his big brother write a full memoir.

Robison obliged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once again my brilliant brother had found a way to channel his unstoppable Aspergerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy and talent,â&#x20AC;? writes Burroughs in his introduction to Look Me in the Eye. Robison says the book led people to view him differently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come out of the closet, as it were, people seem

willing to accept me for what I am. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually liberating,â&#x20AC;? he says. In other social settings, he admits, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can still seem rude or insensitive.â&#x20AC;?

For this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paperback release of his memoir, Robison has added new material, much of it educational. He even rewrote about 50 pages to remove profanity after learning the book is being used as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;teach toleranceâ&#x20AC;? tool as early as fifth grade. (The hardcover still has all the cussing.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve received many, many letters from people on the spectrum who identify with the stories in my book,â&#x20AC;? Robison says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also gotten countless letters from parents who saw my story as a window into their own child.â&#x20AC;? >

Local Author Traces Life and Death of Howard Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brother

There Is Light: Idealism and Tragedy on an Australian Commune is the coming-of-age story of a brotherhood of boarding-school friends and what they learned when they graduated into the conflict and counterculture of the Vietnam era. The 234-page paperback also sheds new light on Charlie Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fate and how it shaped his older brother, now chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

last days in Laos. But even those few pages, she says, are based on his past conversations and correspondence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like putting together a quilt with really small pieces,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would ask Howard and Harry, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Does this sound like Charlie?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Bryantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $16 paperback was just released by the Black Lawrence Press, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll promote it around the East Coast â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including CHARLIE DEAN IN AUSTRALIA, 1973

Dean has said little publicly about his brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappearance and death. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes his cooperation with Bryant and his contribution to the book so significant.

Bryant has published numerous short stories, poems and essays, as well as two novels for young adults. After hearing her husband reminisce, she began reading, researching and planning her own trip to Rosebud Farm. Most of Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and friends trusted her enough to share their diaries, letters and, in Howard Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, CIA records. A man who retraced Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s route from capture to prison camp shared his account with Bryant in a 14-page letter.

Bryant knows some scholars and journalists will frown on her footnote-free â&#x20AC;&#x153;hypothesisâ&#x20AC;? of Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

at this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Burlington Book Festival. Some may pigeonhole the book as just another title about Vietnam, Nixon and the counterculture. The author sees it more as one manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story of wrestling with the questions of war, politics and society that continue to divide the nation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to do this,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somebody had to tell this story.â&#x20AC;? >

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; true to his Scottish roots â&#x20AC;&#x201D; considers storytelling the highest form of art. He committed each of his sentences to paper only after long deliberation, in a windowless shack perched on the wild island coastline.

The film gains much of its charm from MacLeod himself, a whitehaired, ruddy-cheeked grandfather type who downplays his fame by jokingly referring to himself in the third person. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here is Alistair MacLeodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office,â&#x20AC;? he tells the almost silent documentary crew on entering a book-lined room at the University of Windsor, where he taught literature and creative writing for over 30 years.

The filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prize moments come when, as its title promises, other prominent writers read from their favorite Alistair MacLeod works.

Found in his Keene, New York, cabin, Russell Banks looks up from a sentence and exclaims, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cadences!â&#x20AC;? Margaret Atwood declares sagely, â&#x20AC;&#x153;That kind of writing is harder to do than you think, without sounding like a Hemingway

hen Alistair MacLeod showed up at a 1974 gathering of writers in New York City, people looked at his nametag and exclaimed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alistair MacLeod! I thought that you died!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;No,â&#x20AC;? he responded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just went back to Canada.â&#x20AC;?

MacLeod, now 72, tells this anecdote in Reading Alistair MacLeod, a documentary made by the National Film Board of Canada that will have four screenings during the Burlington Book Festival in advance of his headlining appearance on Saturday evening. Beautifully shot on location at the authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer home on Cape Breton Island, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a revealing introduction to a man who, despite international renown, still has little name recognition in this country.

MacLeodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation, much like James Joyceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, rests on a handful of unsurpassed short stories and a single masterpiece. His Ulysses is a family saga set on Cape Breton called No Great Mischief, a 13-year effort published in 1999.

As the film makes clear, MacLeod

incoln writer Louella Bryant remembers when Howard Dean, running for president in 2004, smiled with seeming invincibility on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when her husband told her the rest of the story.

Harry Reynolds is more a thinker than a talker. But seeing Dean pictured so glossily, he surprised his wife by recalling how he went to prep school in the 1960s with the former Vermont governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother Charlie. Harry and Charlie attended the elite St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School in Newport, Rhode Island, then moved on to different colleges before meeting up in the most improbable of places: a hippie commune halfway around the world in Australia.

The two young men, seeking to escape the Vietnam War and the expectations of their countryclub families, fled to a ramshackle outpost called Rosebud Farm and its garden of sex, drugs and rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll. After four months, Charlie asked Harry if he wanted to see past the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headlines and meet the people of battle-scarred Southeast Asia. Harry was homesick and returned to the States. Charlie boarded a boat to parts unknown.

A year later, Harry was working at his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New England orchard when he learned that Laotian soldiers armed at a riverbank checkpoint had captured and killed his 24-year-old schoolmate.

Bryant listened as her husband recalled the horror of three decades earlier, then watched as he retreated to the attic and returned with a red-leather journal and a shoebox filled with letters. Perusing the pages, she saw a story of adventure, history and heartbreak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good Lord,â&#x20AC;? Bryant recalls telling her husband, â&#x20AC;&#x153;this needs to be a book.â&#x20AC;?

Four years later, she has finished writing it. While in Darkness

clone.â&#x20AC;? In one delightful scene, Colm Toibin is filmed at his Dublin apartment getting his first glimpse of the American edition of his novel The Master before describing how he learned about the elusive MacLeod.

Though clearly a writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writer, MacLeod writes with a listening audience in mind. Watch the film to get a sense of this top Canadian author â&#x20AC;&#x201D; then come and be spellbound by his words. > Reading Alistair MacLeod screens on Friday, September 12, at noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., in the Pickering Room of the Fletcher Free Library, Burlington; and on Saturday, September 13, at 10 a.m., in the Film House on the third floor of the Lake & College Performing Arts Center. MacLeod reads from his work at 4 p.m. on Saturday in the Film House. The doc also shows on RETN (Channel 16) on Thursday, September 11, at 8 p.m. and on Saturday, September 13, at 7 p.m.

Some scientists are blaming the rapid decline in Japan’s population on excessive masturbation, driven by fetish pornography, sex toys and other aids. Researchers have found these sex substitutes are turning men off to sex with women and causing sexual dysfunction, including failure to ejaculate or premature ejaculation. The website weirdasianews.com reported men are turning to everything from robots of Japanese women to realistic moldings of female genitalia as alternatives to human sex and relationships that offer unconventional ways to gratify their desires.

His lawyer, David Barclay, said McLagan wasn’t searching for the child exploitation material, which turned up in his search for bestiality images because he downloaded the files in bulk. Insisting that McLagan “only looked at 20 percent” of the child pornography, Barclay explained his client was drawn to the bestiality images because he suffers from such low self-esteem that he identifies himself as being “some sort of beast.”

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

Dear Cecil, An auto mechanic friend claims to have a gizmo that makes his vehicles run at least partially on water. He swears itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true and has about five test vehicles running with this thing now. It will work best on vehicles with carburetors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fuelinjected vehicles need tweaking of the computer chips. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got one on an old VW Bug and says he gets about 80 mpg â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to win a prize for getting over 100 mpg. He installed one in a large diesel truck that originally got about 8 mpg; it supposedly now gets 20 to 22 mpg with lots more power. My friend says the gizmo uses electricity from the alternator to split water molecules into something called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gasâ&#x20AC;? that gets input into the intake manifold. Is this true or another myth?

Walt Bruun, Glen Ellyn, Illinois Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you one scientific reaction involving Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gas that you can take to the bank: It makes my blood boil.

Where miraculous fuel-economy schemes are concerned, tricksters abound, preying on marks who distrust â&#x20AC;&#x153;the authoritiesâ&#x20AC;? and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell good science from the pseudo kind. Some mutter of brave souls silenced because they knew too much â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like the late Stan Meyer, inventor of the magical â&#x20AC;&#x153;water fuel cellâ&#x20AC;? (ultimately shown to be bunk), who fans claim was poisoned in 1998 by operatives of the government and/or the oil companies.

The device youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about is similar to Meyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s but places the emphasis on hydrogen, thus piggybacking on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;hydrogen economyâ&#x20AC;? meme President Bush brought to public attention in his 2003 State of the Union address. Newspapers and magazines subsequently devoted acres of unskeptical column space to on-board hydrogen-generation and -injection technology â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in 2005, for example, Wired wrote that big-rig truckers were getting major improvements in fuel economy and power from hydrogen electrolysis systems.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what happens. The gizmo is hooked up to a standard internal combustion engine. Like your pal says, it draws power from the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electrical system to split water into a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or socalled Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which gets fed into the engine and burned along with the usual gasoline/air mix. Alleged result: big gas savings!

But how? On the most basic level, the technology makes no sense. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walk slowly through the process: 1. Your car engine burns gasoline or diesel fuel to power the wheels and, among other things, your alternator, at about 20 to 25 percent efficiency.

2. Your alternator generates electricity at about 60 percent efficiency.

3. You take said electricity and use it to turn water into hydrogen and oxygen at about 70 percent efficiency, tops.

4. Then you burn the hydrogen and oxygen, or just the hydrogen, in your engine at about 98 percent efficiency.

In short, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re converting fuel A, gasoline, into fuel B, hydrogen, which then helps power the car.

Net efficiency of this complicated process: 10 percent.

Efficiency of an ordinary car engine (see step 1 above): 20 to 25 percent. Conclusion: Hydrogen gizmos are a foolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bargain.

Advocates claim using hydrogen as a fuel increases combustion efficiency. The problem is that in modern engines combustion efficiency is already close to the max â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 95 to 98 percent under optimal conditions in a gasoline engine and 98 percent or better in a diesel engine. Understand, this refers strictly to how thoroughly the fuel burns in the cylinders. Overall engine efficiency is, as seen, much lower, due to heat loss through the engine block and out the tailpipe. Switching fuels wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change that.

So why do hydrogen injector users report improvements? The same reasons people often swear by iffy technology â&#x20AC;&#x201D; lack of appropriate comparisons, sloppy record keeping, wishful thinking, a sample size of one. The fact that fuel economy is partly a function of driving habits no doubt also plays a role. If you simply pay more attention to your speed when driving, you can often increase mileage even without a miracle device.

To be sure, a little water can improve internal combustion engine performance under some circumstances. Water injection helped WWII aircraft engines put out more power by reducing knock. BMW has been trying to increase fuel economy and power by using exhaust heat to power whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in effect a small steam engine attached to an internal combustion engine. A Honda hybrid uses a similar concept to turn a generator to recharge the battery packs while cruising.

Although some bugs remain to be worked out, a sixstroke engine using water injection for power and cooling shows promise. Bear in mind, though, that water isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being used as a fuel in any of these cases. Hydrogen injection, meanwhile, is for the birds. If you really want to improve your fuel efficiency, check your tire pressure.

It may not be sexy but it works.

poli psy

by judith levine

“Country” Girl

A

fter three days sequestered in a media-free room, Sarah Palin emerged to deliver what the AP called “a starturning performance.” Katie Couric pronounced her “feisty, folksy, fiery and emotional.” A delegate from Wisconsin gave the bumper-sticker makers the slogan they should be copyrighting now: “She is one kick-ass lady.”

The Palin family played their supporting roles with touching amateur humility, as stunned and pleased as the new American Idols they are (abstinence-only graduate Bristol and shotgun fiancé Levi Johnston also looked stunned, though probably for different reasons). Baby Trig slept in the arms of Cindy McCain, seated beside First Dude Todd. Her embalmed face provided a sort of bluescreen against which he glowed with working-class virility.

Halfway through the address, Palin uttered the words “Saudi Arabia” and “Venezuela,” which apparently put to rest all qualms about her foreign-policy credentials. As one delegate told The Christian Science Monitor, “I feel like she’s the type who would get in there and figure it out.”

Early polls had the speech bumping McCain’s “definite” voters up by double digits across party and gender.

Palin may have mentioned Venezuela, but her brand is an enduring one, reliable for selling everything from oil-guzzling pickup trucks to oatmeal cookies: rural, small-town America. But it is the unspoken backstory, at least as Palin and the Republican Party subtly tell it, that gives the brand its power.

Much of the rural South is black and the rural Southwest brown, and it is the rare small town without its Asian residents. But “country” reads red, white and blue — with the emphasis on white.

Sarah Palin’s twangy voice sang the country-music lyrics: this “gal” and those “good ol’ boys” and — my favorite — “snow machine,” which any self-respecting “Poli Psy” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Judith Levine, email levine@sevendaysvt.com.

on the public uses and abuses of emotion

Vermonter knows is the correct term for what city folk refer to as a snowmobile.

But behind the rhetorical banjo pickin’, both Palin and her warmup act, Rudy Giuliani, tuned in to another channel and let it play faintly in the background: a DJ turning Soulja Boy, perhaps with a little Beethoven mixed in. Barack’s music: urban, brainy and, of course, black.

“We grow good people in our small towns, with honesty, sincerity and dignity,” Palin quoted “a writer” praising President Harry Truman. Is it the paranoia of a born-and-bred city girl that infers another message: that our big cities grow bad people — duplicitous, cynical and immodest?

Rudy started the scary-city talk by evoking the young Obama cutting his teeth on “Chicago machine politics.” The former prosecutor and mayor cut his own teeth on New York Republican machine politics — and, needless to say, the guy’s got negative backcountry cred. But Rudy could distance his own urban-ness from that of the Democratic candidate.

With the Chicago reference he implied entrenched corruption sarah palin — but also, silently, entrenched black power.

The next bugaboo that crept onstage was the Intellectual, a.k.a. the Elitist. “Washington elite” (would that be her running mate?), spat Palin, the words coated in venom. That bitterness was matched only by her disdain for “reporters and commentators,” those pointy-headed piss-ants crawling over Alaska for clues — how dare they! — about who the vice-presidential candidate is. Rudy, who gargles venom every morning, dipped “Ivy League education” and “cosmopolitan” in poison, too.

And then there was the ridicule Rudy and Sarah heaped on Obama’s experience as a community

(Among the Democrats in Denver, 65 percent were white, 23 percent black, 11 percent Hispanic.)

While reviving the near-dead culture wars with Sarah Palin’s candidacy, the GOP was also bringing back a tactical chestnut: appealing to the whiteness, and racism, of its core.

It just might work. And then, it might not. Because that attack on community organizers also struck me as the one tone-deaf note in an otherwise pitch-perfect performance. Beyond racism, it revealed the true Republican heart — a heart that is hard to the plight, and dismissive of the collective power, of regular people.

The comment may also expose the party’s Achilles’ heel. Indeed, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe went right for it in an email to supporters the night of Palin’s speech. He referred to the speakers’ mockery of “Barack’s experience . . . on the South Side of Chicago more than two decades ago, where he worked with people who had lost jobs and been left behind when the local steel plants closed.” Then Plouffe said: “Let’s clarify something for them right now. Community organizing is how ordinary people respond to out-of-touch politicians and their failed policies.”

The community organizer provides a neat metonym of all the Republican Party is antagonistic to.

Community has no place in a nation whose only recognized institutions are the family, the corporation and the military. To a party (including John McCain) that cedes unprecedented power to the executive branch and trusts the chief executive officer more than the democratically elected government official, popular organizing is an annoyance, or a threat.

“Community organizing is the foundation of the civil rights movement, the women’s suffrage movement, labor rights, and the 40-hour workweek,” Plouffe continued, reeling off a few of the GOP’s chief victims. “And it’s happening today in church basements and community centers and living rooms across America.” Including, one might add, the church basements from which sprang the evangelist Sarah Palin, and where a community of anti-choice, creationist, library-book-censoring sisters and brothers will soon be trying to phone-bank her to the White House.

In Vermont, we know the reality of small-town life.

With all its virtues, it is not always honest, sincere or dignified. It can be violent, especially if you are queer or black or come from a trailer park. Small-town government can be petty and self-serving, as was Palin’s

While reviving the near-dead culture wars with Sarah Palin’s candidacy, the party was also bringing back a tactical chestnut: appealing to the whiteness, and racism, of its core. organizer. Giuliani could barely say the words without dissolving in hilarity. I don’t know about you, but the term “community organizer” brings to mind an image of a black or brown person shaking her fist before an audience on folding chairs in a public housing common room — or, in Rudy’s case, thousands of them, outside City Hall. The former mayor’s laughter was a kind of esprit de l’escalier, a riposte to the organizers and the enraged masses they brought to the streets each time — and there were numerous times — his police department gunned down another unarmed person of color. Now he was talking to “his” people, and his relief came out in irrepressible glee.

Yes, the convention committee had scoured the continent for an African-American Republican to read the Pledge of Allegiance. Yes, Sarah Palin is married to a man who is part Yup’ik Eskimo. But the convention floor looked like a vast suburban country club circa 1956: Ninety-three percent of the delegates were white, with 5 percent Hispanic and 2 percent black.

Wasilla, Alaska, administration, according to some locals (see www.andrys.com/palin-kilkenny.html).

We also know that small towns and rural landscapes are disappearing, thanks in part to Republican policies, from Big Agriculture-favoring farm policy to free-market favors to sprawl-creating development.

If you live in Alaska and your beaches are black with spilled oil or your village is stranded by melted ice, the destruction is dramatic (though not plain, it seems: The Alaskans were yelling loudest when the delegates burst out chanting, “Drill, baby, drill!”).

The country song is as much a eulogy to rural life as a celebration of it. Some lyrics explicitly lament the losses. Those are not the ones Bush-Cheney speechwriter Matthew Scully scripted for Sarah Palin.

Yet, if elected, Palin’s party will make its future ballads even sadder — both for the folks it exalts and the ones it demonizes. The sour notes lie deep in the folksy, feisty melody. And the beauty queen’s smile cannot hide the Barracuda’s white teeth. m

CRISIS CENTER CRITIC Imagine my surprise when I read the article, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rape Crisis Center Hopes Educating Men Will Reduce Sexual Violenceâ&#x20AC;?

[Local Matters, August 13].

Why surprised? Simply put, sexual violence is not a learned behavior. While educating men and women on any type of violence is important, I feel that it is irresponsible on behalf of the Rape Crisis Center. Educating men why it is incorrect to rape is ridiculous.

Rape is not taught to be a normal behavior. Society frowns upon this, does it not? Is there some sort of encouragement on behalf of society that I have missed?

How can we as a society believe in any way that telling men that sexual violence is bad â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something that the basic person knows â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will make a difference? And if you were to find the sexual predator, is it really believed that a chit-chat will change their inner most cravings?

So men must become allies and address other menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior? How does this work exactly? Do you find the potential rapist and have a heart-to-heart? No, it simply does not work that way.

What is important to stress is that the sexual predator is a solitary creature who lives inside a different world than we will ever fully comprehend.

He will stalk, he will seek and, sadly, he will find.

So, what can society help do? Protect yourself, educate yourself and your loved ones, and understand that sexual predators will persist.

enee Reiner, owner of Phoenix Books in Essex Junction, remembers being â&#x20AC;&#x153;smittenâ&#x20AC;? with Marty Galvin, her high school English teacher at Walt Whitman High School, in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was the one who taught me a real love for books and poetry and good-quality writing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; crisp sentences and interesting adjectives,â&#x20AC;? Reiner says.

In college, Reiner would return to her hometown of Bethesda, Maryland, to take classes with Galvin at a writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; center there. Eventually they fell out of touch, but Reiner never forgot about her favorite teacher. When she and her husband bought The Book Rack and Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pages, which they owned from 1995 to 2003, she sent Galvin â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by then an award-winning poet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a note about her career, along with several books sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d helped publish. The gesture rekindled their friendship. For the last half-dozen years, Reiner has visited Galvin and his wife whenever she travels to the D.C. area.

Next Tuesday, it will be Galvin doing the traveling. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come to Vermont to visit Reiner and to read from his work â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which has been published in The Atlantic Monthly and The New Republic, among other magazines â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at Phoenix Books. Reiner is thrilled.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even called fellow graduates of Walt Whitman who live in the area to tell them about the event.

Reiner isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alone in having a teacher who affected her in ways that went far beyond the classroom. We asked a variety of Vermonters to answer the question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who was your most influential teacher?â&#x20AC;?

I had a wonderful advisor in college â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a World War II fighter pilot â&#x20AC;&#x201D; T.P. Greene. He was so smart, so serene and so comfortable with students with different opinions. He taught American Studies and had a profoundly accurate moral compass. He was also the professor who turned me on to F. Scott Fitzgerald. His nickname â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he was so calm and unflappable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was Sleepy T.P. I do know a lot of students who were unpleasantly surprised by how awake he really was when they got their grades â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and how carefully he was observing.

I had at the University of Massachusetts someone named Fritz Ellert. He exposed me to poetry and German literature and really instilled in me a love of literature. He conveyed the excitement of learning. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so much the subject matter as his attitude toward it.

He would spend several days on one poem

by Goethe, so he really dug into the layers of meaning, and I guess he taught me to have the kind of discipline to do that. It was his enthusiasm. He just loved what he was teaching, and I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the mark of a good teacher.

WELCOME BACK STUDENT SPECIAL! SELENE COLBURN,

librarian, dancer and choreographer, Burlington The teacher who influenced me was Hannah Dennison. I had knee surgery when I was 13. I was very nerdy and awkward and started dancing to kind of condition myself after that surgery. I took a class with her at Main Street Dance, a really thriving dance studio in Burlington in the mid1980s. She just was really an incredible mentor for me at a time when I was just trying to figure out who I was. Just to see someone who was so rigorous about their own work and committed to their artistic process. As a 15year-old, to have someone treat you with that same expectation was really influential.

thing that really set her apart was that she did not participate in any of the school politics. She wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rebellious, but she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t operating within the same sphere that everyone else in the building was. As a result, the learning that happened in that class went way beyond plain old English. I learned how to stand upright from her.

Kids generally, and teenagers particularly, have the emotional intelligence to detect a hypocrite from a million miles away. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 16 years old, you can just sense them around you. As a young person, when you encounter someone who has true integrity, you notice that.

PHIL SCOTT,

Vermont state senator (RWashington County) and stock car racer, Montpelier There was an industrial arts teacher of mine at Spaulding High School in Barre â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dick Flies. He was the type of teacher who had an awful lot of common sense and was down to earth. Very well respected, but at the same time was able to communicate, and his commonness would put you at ease.

When I was a sophomore in high school, over Halloween, I found myself up in a fairly tall tree scaring some other kids. I ended up falling out of the tree and cracked a couple of vertebrae. The very next day he called and wanted to talk to me about how I was. He certainly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to, but he took the time to call and that was a huge impression on me.

ALAN NEWMAN,

Teachers are everywhere. Not just in the classroom. The most influential â&#x20AC;&#x153;teacherâ&#x20AC;? to me was a man named Lyman Wood. Lyman started and built a business in Troy, New York, and in Charlotte, called Garden Way. By demonstration he taught me that business could be about lifestyle, and not just about profits and losses.

My favorite thing he did was he paid management â&#x20AC;&#x153;double payâ&#x20AC;? when they took vacations. He wanted his managers to take vacations to refresh, and the double pay was so one paycheck could be used to cover their normal overheads, like rent/mortgage payments, and the extra pay could then be used to spend on the vacation.

KEY Written policy on environmental sustainability and/or a “green” campus master plan

Staff person/ office for sustainability issues

Green purchasing policy

Carbonemissions reduction plan

This fall, colleges and universities that try to pass themselves off as “green” will face an inconvenient truth: It takes more than bathroom stalls stocked with recycled toilet paper, or separate waste bins for glass, paper and plastic, to earn even a passing grade on environmental sustainability. And with each new year, schools will be graded on an ever-steeper curve.

In 2008, college students, faculty and staff are savvier than ever on environmental issues, and they’re asking all the right questions: “Is the food in our cafeteria grown locally and organically?” “Are the dorms and classrooms cleaned with nontoxic chemicals?” “Does our school have an e-waste policy that keeps heavy metals out of the landfills?” “Is our campus powered by any renewable

Which is why Seven Days decided to conduct its own survey. Vermont’s 22 other colleges and universities were each sent a list of questions based loosely on the criteria SEI used in its report. (For simplicity’s sake, we omitted many of the questions about investment practices, largely because most small schools have little or no endowment money to invest.)

Admittedly, our survey wasn’t as scientific as SEI’s, and relied on schools to self-report their own progress.

That said, our goal wasn’t to rank Vermont’s colleges from best to worst, or humiliate those that may lack the resources to do more. Instead, we simply wanted to find out how much time and effort these schools’ boards, administrators and staffs have spent examining their own footprints.

Which Vermont college campuses are making the grade on sustainability?

by Ken Picard and Kirk Kardashian Plenty, as it turns out. Of the 22 schools we contacted, 16 responded, either by phone or in writing. Those who did were excited to highlight the various steps, however modest, they’ve taken to reduce their waste streams, cut their greenhouse gas emissions, conserve energy and invest in alternative energy vehicles.

A few caveats: As several administrators pointed out, surveys such as these should be taken with a grain of salt.

Being a signatory to a nationwide plan for achieving carbon neutrality is an ambitious goal. But it’s not the same thing as powering half your campus with electricity derived from cow manure, as Green Mountain College now does.

(Last year, the Poultney school received a Campus Sustainability Leadership Award from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education.)

Similarly, writing a green-purchasing policy is a commendable effort, if it’s followed. But Burlington College, which hasn’t done so yet, still buys most of its products from local vendors, including caps and T-shirts made from organic cotton, school mugs made out of corn husks, and pens made from recycled tires and old denim.

Some schools with limited resources, such as Vermont Technical College, may not buy a lot of organic or local food. But VTC supports local growers in other ways, such as by hosting a farmers’ market each Wednesday, which includes vegetables grown in its own community gardens. The school also has 400 dairy cows whose milk is shipped off campus and sold in the state. And, much of the school’s non-recyclable waste paper is used for animal bedding.

energy sources?” And to every “no” answer, the next question is, “Why not?”

From green buildings to carbon credits, from travelreduction plans to socially responsible investments, it’s work for colleges and universities to boost their green grade point average. As a result, more and more schools around Vermont are making that work a full-time job.

“This is becoming a very complex set of questions to manage,” notes Gioia Thompson, director of the University of Vermont’s Office of Sustainability. In the last few years, several Vermont colleges and universities, including UVM, Champlain College, Middlebury College and St. Michael’s College, have hired “sustainability coordinators” to collectively reduce their ecological footprint.

In some cases, those efforts have been recognized nationally, at least according to the ever-growing list of college sustainability rankings that are now published annually by various businesses, magazines and nonprofit organizations. For instance, the Sierra Club’s current issue of Sierra Magazine ranks the top 10 “coolest schools” for fighting global warming and treading more lightly on the planet. Topping the list this year is Middlebury College, with UVM claiming the number 3 spot.

An even more comprehensive survey, the “College Sustainability Report Card,” is published each fall by the nonprofit group Sustainability Endowments Institute (SEI). Using 39 criteria in eight different categories — administration, climate change and energy, food and recycling, green building, transportation, endowment transparency, investment priorities and shareholder engagement — SEI grades the sustainability practices of the 200 largest institutions of higher learning in North America. This year, Middlebury and UVM were among the top six schools recognized as “overall college sustainability leaders.”

Alas, since inclusion on SEI’s report card is predicated on the size of a school’s endowment, Middlebury and UVM were the only Vermont schools that were evaluated.

Nevertheless, many smaller colleges and universities around the state are doing their part to green up their campuses, even if they’re not garnering high-profile kudos.

out, just because a well-endowed university invests in buildings that are LEED-certified — Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design is a system for rating the design and construction of green buildings — doesn’t necessarily mean it has a smaller footprint than a smaller school with less energy-efficient buildings.

Community College of Vermont, for instance, which doesn’t have a central campus but uses smaller learning centers dispersed throughout the state, may have a higher percentage of its students commuting shorter distances via mass transit. Also, one-third of its classes are taught online or via “distance education.” And, because it puts more students and staff into smaller buildings that occupy less space — thereby consuming fewer resources on landscaping, lighting, central heating, etc.— it may actually have a smaller per-student footprint than many larger institutions.

It should be noted that 14 colleges and universities now belong to the Vermont Campus Sustainability Network. The group’s goal is to help all of its member institutions share information and resources and ultimately create “a more just, equitable and environmentally sustainable future.”

Finally, while most of the administrators we contacted lauded our survey efforts, they also expressed the view that actions speak louder than words. As Burlington College President Jane Sanders put it, “What’s important is not what you write, but what you do.”

Dartmouth College scored a coup in June of 2005 when it selected James Merkel as its first sustainability director.

For the next two years, the duration of Merkelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time on the job, the school earned an A-minus â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the highest grade given â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on the College Sustainability Report Card, issued by the Sustainable Endowments Institute.

As it happens, Merkel, 50, is a ringer in the sustainability game. In 2003, he wrote Radical Simplicity: Small Footprints on a Finite Earth, a unique combination of an environmental ethics treatise and a how-to guide for calculating oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own ecological footprint â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the land and resource burden a lifestyle makes on the Earth. Before that, he founded the Global Living Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to sustainability outreach and education. Few candidates were as uniquely equipped as Merkel to take a holistic approach at putting the 7000person community at Dartmouth more in harmony with the environment.

He advocates the same approach today, as more and more colleges are seeking the green-tinted grail of sustainability and building biomass co-generators. Such a perspective, he says, would correct a common misconception that heating and generating with biomass â&#x20AC;&#x201D; namely, wood chips â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are carbon-neutral activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything but green,â&#x20AC;? Merkel contends, because burning wood chips releases more carbon dioxide per BTU than does coal, and because logging often destroys natural habitats and contributes to todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s species extinction rate, which is occurring 1000 times faster than the natural rate.

Biomass believers assert that the carbon dioxide emitted during combustion is offset by the planting of replacement trees. Merkelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response is that replanting creates a monoculture, and that it takes 40 years to reap any benefit, assuming the land is not bulldozed and developed.

But if biomass, the darling of heavily forested northern New England, is not the answer, where can colleges turn for clean energy? We know wind and solar are the cleanest sources, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also unreliable by themselves.

Not so fast, Merkel cautions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thoreau said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Simplify three times,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; you know?â&#x20AC;? he begins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But that was 1853, so I think we need to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Simplify 30 timesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; now, before you talk about what kind of energy you use.â&#x20AC;?

In other words, schools should take a sharp look at every angle of campus operations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; building occupancy and longevity, thermostat controls, insulation, efficiency technologies, etc. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to whittle down the amount of energy a school needs, and then fill that need with renewables. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That, to me,â&#x20AC;? Merkel says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is the silver bullet.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; K.K.

I

am so happy to be here with you today. I was honored when Joanne Winterbottom [Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother] asked me to speak with you this morning. I have to be honest. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not much of a walker. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not even sure I own a pair of STORY sensible shoes. But I have spent much of my CHERYL career working on issues of violence against HANNA women, and so I am particularly happy that I can partake in this wonderful effort by runIMAGES ning my mouth for a few minutes about the MATTHEW significance of what you do here today.

THORSEN When Joanne Winterbottom and I first spoke, I said to her that while I had never met Laura, I had come to feel as if I knew her. But then I thought, what does it really mean, to know Laura?

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that to know Laura is really to be 3:30:52 PM connected to Laura in the way that all women, I think, are connected to each other.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to leave out the men, because those of you who are here today are wonderful â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but women do experience the world differently.

For there is not a woman alive who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand at some level that, at any time, she can be the victim of sexual or physical violence, simply because she is a woman.

Young or old, rich or poor, black or white, straight or gay, every woman carries with her that intuitive sense that she is at risk.

And that never-ending threat of violence often limits how we live our lives and influences the choices we make. It keeps us from living as if we are truly free. It is that voice in our heads that tells us to â&#x20AC;&#x153;be careful.â&#x20AC;?

And we are careful, often too careful, in ways that limit our true potentials.

Now, I know it can feel so disempowering to acknowledge how we, as women, share this common burden. And yet, I take great comfort in recognizing that none of us is alone in this struggle. Because what burdens us also bonds us, and it is that bond which gives us strength to resist the violence.

In the many years that I have been working on these issues, I have seen the world

This was Cheryl Hannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keynote address at the Second Annual Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s March, in remembrance of Laura Kate Winterbottom and a fundraiser for the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rape Crisis Center, on September 6 at Oakledge Park in Burlington. Seven Days is publishing her remarks to underscore the ongoing effort to eradicate violence toward women. Hanna is a professor at Vermont Law School and a constitutional scholar.

dramatically change, and so what I would like to do with you here is to reflect upon those changes.

It used to be that men had the right to beat their wives, to keep them in line.

Historians tell us that the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;a rule of thumbâ&#x20AC;? refers to legal doctrine that held a man could chastise his wife with a switch no larger than his thumb.

It used to be that a victim of rape, even if she had the courage to testify at trial, would have her entire sexual history paraded before the jury. It was acceptable to argue that once a woman lost her virginity, she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be raped because she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;damaged goods.â&#x20AC;?

It used to be that too many men went to prison not because they harmed women, but because being a minority or being poor made them guilty.

Now, we have seen every state and the nation undergo law reform unprecedented in American history, including the Violence Against Women Act. Passed in 1994, this federal law recognizes the seriousness of sexual and domestic violence. It has supported many, many programs, including those here in Vermont, and has provided safety and security for thousands of victims.

Now, we have committed police and prosecutors who take violence against women seriously, and many of those fine people are here with us today, and you should thank them, because they often do

Holistica

In 1993, at the World Conference on Human Rights in Vienna, world leaders came together and recognized that the right to be free from domestic violence and sexual assault was a basic human right.

Think about that: a basic human right. Like food and shelter, safety for women was deemed essential for humanity. Indeed, ending violence against women has become the most important human-rights issue of our time.

For we know that the status of women in a country is an important predictor of the standard of living in that country. Sexual violence keeps women and children in poverty and is a major barrier to social and political reform.

For freedom and democracy to flourish, a woman must be able to go to work without fear of being raped, she must be able to raise her children without fear of being beaten, and she must be able to walk alone to school or to a voting booth without risking her life.

Because of that recognition, the international community, including the United Nations, has said to nation states that if you want to be part of the modern global economy, you have to take responsibility for ending violence against women.

One of the most important developments has been that much of the international community has rejected arguments that â&#x20AC;&#x153;traditional practicesâ&#x20AC;? such as honor killings and female genital mutilation should be exempt from international scrutiny. Rather, these practices are a form of gender discrimination and have to stop.

These efforts are working, as both practices are now in decline.

So too has the international community come to recognize that rape is a war crime. In the Bosnian conflict alone, more than 20,000 women were raped.

In 2001, for the first time in world history, the International Criminal Court at the Hague prosecuted a case of rape in the context of war as a crime against humanity. There continue to be

prosecutions and increased efforts to keep women in war zones safe from this humiliating and brutal tool of armed conflict.

Women in places like Rwanda and Kosovo and Darfur now have the force of the international community to say what happened to them was wrong.

We have also seen continued efforts both at home and abroad to curb human trafficking in the sex industry. More than 700,000 women and children worldwide have been trafficked into what amounts to modern-day slavery.

In the United States, the government estimates that, each year, more than 50,000 women and children live essentially as sex slaves. Most of them come from countries with poor economic conditions and abysmal humanrights records.

And let me share with you something I was recently shocked to learn: More than 50,000 Iraqi woman and girls who are refugees â&#x20AC;&#x201D; most widowed or orphaned â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sell their bodies in countries such as Syria and Jordan simply to survive. This is yet another way women suffer when we wage war.

Yet these women are not invisible.

In 2000, the United States passed the Trafficking Victims Protection Act to provide assistance to those trafficked to the U.S., and, just last year, the United Nations launched a global initiative to fight human trafficking. I remain optimistic about the potential to really curb trafficking worldwide.

Finally, let me share with you what I am most excited about these days. Last October, Senators Joe Biden and Richard Lugar â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a Democrat and a Republican â&#x20AC;&#x201D; introduced the International Violence Against Women Act, or what we call IVAWA. This bill will provide resources, training and guidance to alleviate violence against women around the world. It has the potential to transform how nations address these issues, and allows the United States to take a major leadership role in promoting human rights worldwide. I hope that, no matter which candidates you support this historic election season, you support this law.

So, while we may not be there yet, we are on our way. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t underestimate how important it is to connect what is happening to women on the streets of Burlington to what is happening in Bangkok and Baghdad, and to bear witness to the truth, as you do here today.

organic facials 802.224.6650 I recognize that all of this progress, from this march in Burlington to prosecutions in the Hague, is born of loss and tragedy and sorrow. But there is something about the human spirit, the resilience of women and power of our common bond, along with BU HSFFO DJUZ TQB t TUBUF TUSFFU NPOUQFMJFS WU the courage of the good men who stand beside us, that transforms that sorrow into action, turns that 2x2-holistica091008.indd 1 9/8/08 4:10:43 PM grief into something good. The Laura Kate Winterbottom Fund is a triumph of that human spirit.

So, while I know that this march today will not heal your broken hearts, I do hope it will nourish your souls. For you walk today not only in Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory, but CAS I E R E LYEA, also in memory of the 340 women formerly of Bimini Bills, in a small city in Mexico killed by a has opened her own salon! serial rapist whom the government never bothered to pursue. haircuts | color | waxing You walk not only for Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Room at the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rape Crisis Center, which will provide a safe 160 College St., 2nd Floor space for women to heal, but also 865 (ENVY) 3689 | shearenvyvt.com for the woman in a hospital room in India, burned in the face with acid for turning down a marriage 2x3-shearenvy082708.indd 1 8/25/08 2:30:44 PM proposal, and abandoned by her community.

not get thanked enough.

Now, courts try to shield victims from inquiries into their private lives so more women can go to court and tell their stories, and seek the justice they deserve.

Now, with the introduction of DNA evidence, we are much more likely to ensure that the right man goes to jail, and many men wrongly convicted have been freed through efforts like the Innocence Project.

All of this has brought a safer and more just world for women and men alike.

Of course, there is much more progress to be made, but the tide of change continues to sweep forward in ways that just a generation ago seemed unimaginable.

Some of the progress that really excites and inspires me is taking place internationally. We often hear much more about what is happening in our own backyard, but let me take a few minutes to connect you to some of the initiatives to end violence against women worldwide.

Farm Friendly A Vermont Folklife Center exhibit gives critical exposure to the state’s Mexican migrant workers

bout three years ago, Chris Urban bought a notepad at a Middlebury stationer. He was preparing to teach English for the Vermont Migrant Education Program, and his “students” STORY were among the 2500 Mexican nationMIKE als living on Vermont dairy farms.

A discussion ing stations playing Urban’s interviews follows the with workers and farmers were not yet screening. installed as of this writing, Kenna’s 25 Info, 382-9222. untitled color photographs are on view.

The photos, accompanied by anonymous quotations, offer sobering glimpses of Vermont’s iconic $342-million-per-year dairy industry (that figure comes from 2002 USDA census data).

The show’s most startling image shows a Mexican woman standing in a sunny milking barn, her back turned away from a cow. A closer look at the 2-by-3-foot frame reveals that the woman’s infant son is resting in a pinkand-green mosquito net suspended from the ceiling. “That’s the way things are,” reads one of several captions attributed to farm workers. “You are trapped, from the house to work, unless you have your papers in order.”

Kenna also trained a sensitive eye on local dairymen (and one dairywoman), many of whom seem almost as ambivalent about an “illegal” working relationship as do their Spanish-speaking counterparts. In another 2-by-3-foot portrait, for instance, it’s not clear whether a silhouetted farmer is smiling or brooding under his baseball cap. (“It’s uncomfortable to me as an American citizen,” reads a caption, “to have to feel that I’m doing something wrong.”) In another portrait, Kenna metaphorically imprisons a farmer by placing him — not a nearby worker — behind the protective cage of a small tractor.

Such images could have emerged only from trusting relationships with his subjects, Urban explains on a recent afternoon in a Vergennes café. “Both the farmers and the Mexicans spilled their

guts,” says the wiry, blue-eyed teacher, “and I’m so moved that I feel other people need to hear and see what they say.”

Gregory Sharrow suggests that “The Golden Cage” reflects the center’s overarching interest in “seeing the world through other people’s eyes.” Last school year, a VFC video associate helped disabled children address stereotypes through filmmaking. Earlier in 2008, Ned Castle’s mixed-media exhibit “In Their Own Words” (now at the Flynn Center’s Amy E. Tarrant Gallery) offered an ethnographic perspective on

several Burlington-area refugee groups.

“Chris isn’t an ethnographer, anthropologist or folklorist, but he’s thinking about this experience culturally,” notes Sharrow, a folklorist who researched Vermont farm life for his dissertation in the 1980s. “I’m just delighted that this work is being done, and that it’s being done so thoughtfully, intelligently, passionately and responsibly.”

Cheryl Mitchell, co-convener of the Middlebury-based Addison County Farm Workers Coalition, seconds Sharrow’s praise for “The Golden Cage.” Because

Mexican workers are periodically deported from Vermont farms, her grassroots advocacy group used to resist efforts to publicize them, Mitchell recalls. But, she says, Urban helped coalition members realize that responsible exposure can tear down “systemic barriers” to change.

“Until stories are told openly and until people understand,” Mitchell asserts, “the compassion and the wisdom of the public won’t come into play and change policy.”

As public awareness of Mexican migrants has increased over the last four years, local activists, students and health-

care workers have responded. In Addison County, an â&#x20AC;&#x153;open-doorâ&#x20AC;? clinic offers free medical services to farmers and workers; Spanishspeaking Middlebury College students donate translation services; and a local church holds a regular Spanish-language mass. Mitchell reports that similar local initiatives are catching on in Franklin and Washington counties.

That local energy appears to be inspiring state-level action. In 2007, Addison County Democrats Claire Ayer and Harold Giard sponsored S.90, a bill that would establish a citizenship-blind publichealth program for agricultural and food-service workers. (The bill is still in committee.) Around the same time, the group People of Addison County Together sponsored a Department of Health survey of migrant farm workers living

He sees it more as an opportunity to put a â&#x20AC;&#x153;human face on an issue that is largely overshadowed by laws and policy.â&#x20AC;?

Indeed, while Kennaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photographs allude to political realities, they also reveal a sensibility thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keenly attuned to interpersonal dynamics. Side-by-side portraits of two couples, for example, might invite comparisons of features and postures across ethnic boundaries, but, if anything, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an absence of polemics. Similarly, a 1.5-by-2foot photo depicts Urban playing pick-up soccer with his students beside a dairy barn.

Urban, who says he would support legislation creating a formal legalization process for Mexican workers, hopes that â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Golden Cageâ&#x20AC;? inspires a fresh series of statewide forums. Members of Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm-worker advocacy group will attend the September

culpture is an art of the open air,” Henry Moore once said. “I would rather have a piece of my sculpture put in a landscape, almost any landscape, than in or on the most beautiful building I know.” The Helen Day Art Center’s annual “Exposed!” exhibition seems to validate the 20th-century English sculptor’s thesis.

Each year, the group sculpture exhibit in the open air turns the village of Stowe into a gallery without walls.

A wide array of 27 sculptors was selected for 2008.

Joel Fisher is the sculptor who works most closely in the Moore tradition. His “S” is an anthropomorphic abstraction in bronze, about 5 feet tall, with graceful contours and gently sloped variations of mass running vertically along its smooth, dark sides. It’s a traditional statue — a sculpture in the round whose mission is to beautify three-dimensional space, a purely aesthetic experience.

But there’s also a story behind it. Last year about 30 of Fisher’s bronzes were stolen, including “S.” Thankfully, the pieces, valued at $1 million, were recovered from a local salvage yard.

Fisher’s “S” is sited on the lawn of the Helen Day, one of the hubs of the show.

Exhibition curator Meg McDevitt also has a work on the HDAC lawn — an unusual piece entitled “Lawn Drawn.” It’s about 10 by 20 feet but only a few inches high. McDevitt placed about 20 lengths of rusty steel wire, bent like long, crazy croquet wickets, parallel to each other on a grassy patch. That section of grass hasn’t been getting cut, so it’s now considerably longer than the rest of the lawn. The rusty color of the

wire enables the strange piece of Earth Art to stand out from its verdant surroundings.

An aggregation of seven nearly 15-foot-tall figures carved by Leila Bandar stand as a group in front of Stowe’s municipal offices on Main Street. Entitled “Sometimes Looking for Fixed Stars,” the figures seem

the strongest narrative of the show. Smith created a scaled-down cemetery and sited it beneath a leafy tree along the recreational path, like many a family plot seen in Vermont.

Peggy Smith’s “In the Name of Religion” has

cracked, weathered headstones. The stones seem to be slabs of concrete and bear names such as “Georgian Armenian 1918’” and “IRA England 1969-1997.”

Others give body counts as well as dates: “China Tibet 1949 1,000,000” and “The Holocaust 1933-1945 6,000,000.” Looming over the graves is a purple and gold shrine with a large black cross within it.

This year’s “Exposed!” marks the 16th annual installment of the event. It begins in the heat of July each year and closes in October, when the foliage is past peak. The show is worth seeing more than once.

As outdoor sculptures interact with the seasons, time reveals details that could never be seen in a gallery. m Maps pinpointing the locations of all the Exposed! sculptures are available at the Helen Day Arts Center in Stowe.

theborowitzreport Poll: Obama Faring Poorly Among Racists Bigots Oppose Barack by 1000-to-1 Margin

I

n a potentially ominous sign for the Democratic nominee, a new poll shows Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) trailing far behind GOP standard bearer Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) among voters who identify themselves as racists.

Pundits and pollsters alike have wondered about the role racists might play in the 2008 presidential contest, but the new survey released today was the first concrete attempt to take the pulse of this key voting bloc.

The poll, conducted by Duh Magazine, suggests that Mr. Obama faces an uphill battle in his effort to win the votes of dyed-in-the-wool bigots.

“We wanted to know, why isn’t Barack Obama closing the deal among racists?” said Charles Plugh, editor-inchief of Duh. “The answer seems to be because he’s black.”

In a head-to-head match-up, likely bigots chose Sen. McCain over Sen. Obama by a margin of 1000 to 1, with a majority of racists saying they “strongly disagree” with Sen. Obama’s decision not to be white.

Asked under what conditions they would conceivably vote for a black

presidential candidate, 95 percent of racists responded, “Only if he were running against someone from a group I hated even more, such as Arabs.”

Sen. Obama made a choice at the beginning of this campaign to run as a black man. mr. plugh

Duh editor Plugh says the poll indicates that Sen. Obama “has his work cut out for him” if he is going to make up lost ground among racists.

“Sen. Obama made a choice at the beginning of this campaign to run as a black man,” Mr. Plugh said. “He could change his position on that, but racists might see that as too little, too late.”

free will astrology REAL september 11—17

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Some people

would like the world better if it didn’t have oddballs, freaks, black sheep, misfits and crackpots.

Personally, I’m very much in favor of these types, and celebrate the entertaining diversity they add to the world. I hope you share my attitude, Aries, because you’re going to have to be in intimate relationship with your own inner weirdo in the coming week. If you’re prejudiced against people who don’t act normal, you’ll have trouble dealing with the unusual urges and needs that will be welling up in you. But if you’ve developed an appreciation for anomalous behavior, you’ll be able to love yourself just right.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): After studying

the astrological omens, I had a psychic vision of you jumping up and down, screaming with joy as if you’d won the lottery. That doesn’t necessarily mean you will actually win the lottery, though.

My visions are usually symbolic, not literal. So what does it mean? It could prophesy the imminent arrival of a good surprise. It may signify that your physical vitality will be exceptional, or maybe you will be visited by an exhilarating revelation about the future. To get yourself in the proper spirit, why not jump up and down and scream for joy right now? Then keep doing it at least twice a day until the breakthrough actually occurs.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): There’s more

help available to you right now than you realize.

You may have to cure yourself of an illusion in order to connect with it, however. What’s the illusion? I suspect it’s a misguided belief that you never have enough help! Here’s another mini-shocker, Cancerian: You’ve been making a certain process more difficult than it has to be.

If and when you cure yourself of an illusion, everything could very well snap into place and the process will unfold with relative ease. What’s the illusion? I suspect it’s your (unconscious?) belief that success is more valuable if it’s hard and complicated.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): It’s a perfect moment for you to try the kind of money mojo that worked for one of my readers, Tamara L. of Las Vegas. Here’s her testimony: “I never believed in any of this mystic mumbo-jumbo before. But I was desperate. I was paying the price after indulging in the sick pleasure of telling my boss to go to hell. I couldn’t pay my bills. What did I have to lose? I took Rob Brezsny’s advice and did a financial ritual. I wrote ‘I hereby purify my money karma’ on a dollar bill, then burned it in the flame of a green candle while wearing a hat made out of the Wall Street Journal and chanting the magic spell ‘Money is my servant, not my god.’ Within days, I won big at the casino.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): After my psychic VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Surprise! You’re

reading in Santa Rosa, I waited in the parking lot for a friend to pick me up. To entertain myself, I watched a robin as it pecked at a small patch of grass nearby. I applauded when it snagged a fat worm for its meal. Minutes later, I cheered and whistled as it found a second worm. When the bird subsequently plucked up yet another reddish-brown wriggler, I yelled “Bravo! Bravo!” Still it continued to hunt. My mood turned. “Aren’t you getting greedy?” I said to the robin. It rummaged around fruitlessly for a while, no longer in tune (or so I imagined) with the grace of the cosmos. The moral of the story, in accordance with your current astrological omens: Be alert for the unexpected abundance packed into a seemingly modest space or situation, but don’t try to keep milking that bounty beyond what you need.

not as fragile as you imagine. Now and then — like the phase you’re going through this September, for instance — your health thrives if you push and stretch and test yourself harder than usual. So for the time being, Virgo, I urge you to proceed on the assumption that the most likely way to feel your best is to try things you’ve previously considered to be beyond your capacity.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): On his Bad News Hughes blog, Patrick Hughes warned his readers never to use a mini-vacuum cleaner to suck up the contents of an ashtray. Speaking from experience, he said the rapid intake of air could reignite waning embers and create a fiery mess.

The perfect match.

I suggest you make that your metaphor of the week, Libra. It’s a good time to clean the hell out of everything in your life and throw away all the stuff that’s dead to you. But make sure that whatever you dispose of doesn’t contain some smoldering remains that could blow up in your face. (P.S. I’m not predicting things will blow up, but rather advising you what to do so that they don’t blow up.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s Let It Go

Week, Scorpio — also known as Just Drop It Week. This is a fertile moment in your astrological cycle, a time when you’ll be rewarded with a creative influx if you surrender your tight grip, give up your obsessive hold, and stop clinging to your hardened expectations. So I urge you to summon your most brazen vigor and get yourself as completely unstuck as you dare. And please keep in mind that this should be relaxing fun, not a worrisome ordeal.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Once a year I hike into the hills above San Anselmo, CA, and perform a concert for the trees, birds, insects and sun. If clouds happen to show up that day, I include them as part of my audience. The show typically consists of 80-minutes’ worth of a cappella songs and ecstatic poems, along with my “Dionysian sermons” and “primordial gossip.” None of my listeners ever express anything resembling applause, but that’s fine. For me, it’s an exercise in giving without strings attached. I provide the gift simply because it makes me feel good to be generous, not because I have expectations about how the gift will be used. I recommend that you find an equivalent approach to bestowing blessings in the coming week.

for you to summon visionary courage from your soul, not from a bottle, as you catalyze complex blessings that will ripple through your future for a long time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): To get a

read on how democracy and human rights are faring on the planet, check out the research of an organization called Freedom House (freedomhouse.org). In its most-recent annual report, it declared that 90 countries are free. They represent 47 percent of the world’s population.

Fifty-eight countries, accounting for another 30 percent of the human swarm, are “partly free.”

Then there are the “not free” nations: 45 of them, with 23 percent of the Earth’s inhabitants.

(Half of the “not free” people are in China.) It so happens that your personal degree of freedom, Aquarius, almost matches the world’s. You’re 46 percent completely free, 35 percent partly free, and 19 percent not free. The good news is that the coming weeks will be an excellent time to reduce that 19 percent.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your funny bone isn’t a bone at all; it’s actually your ulnar nerve.

A firefly is a beetle, not a fly. A lead pencil has graphite in it, but no lead. A cucumber is technically a fruit, not a vegetable. Is there anything in your life that might be mislabeled like these things? Anything that’s different from what it’s alleged to be? Now is an excellent time to penetrate to the truth below the prevailing assumptions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Writing

in the magazine sub-TERRAIN, John More makes the following declaration: “Captains of industry, great generals, artists of genius, even politicians, are often just people who have discovered that alcohol can enable them to make economic, tactical, creative, or political decisions whose implications would paralyze a sober individual.”

Your assignment, Capricorn, is to find an alcohol-free way to make such a decision. It’s time

The Unknown Woman HHHHH

T

FLESH AND BLOOD

Tornatore’s latest is an ultraviolent thriller about a woman’s attempt to free herself from sexual slavery.

he world isn’t a very big place anymore. Where on Earth would you have to go, for example, to find someone who doesn’t know who Kate Hudson is or who hasn’t seen the trailer for Watchmen? American movies are the Coca-Cola of pop culture, and we’ve arrived at a point in history where the whole planet happily drinks them in.

Cultural currents flow in both directions, of course, though foreign films that make it to our shores tend to be limited to the cream of the crop. What’s surprising, then, about The Unknown Woman isn’t that it’s an exceptionally well-crafted work, but that its arrival has stayed so totally under the radar. This is, after all, the latest from Giuseppe Tornatore, the writer-director best known on this side of the pond for Cinema Paradiso. It’s also the movie that swept the Donatello Awards — the Italian Oscars — winning Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best Music. It’s the biggest international hit you’ve never heard of.

Ticket buyers anticipating the gentle, heartwarming charms of earlier films such as Paradiso, The Legend of 1900 and Malena are likely to be very much taken by surprise. Tornatore’s new film is a creepy, ultra-violent thriller that variously channels Hitchcock and Kubrick while dealing with themes as distasteful as sexual slavery, torture, greed and revenge.

Irina (Xenia Rappoport) is a Ukrainian woman with haunted eyes who has journeyed to a city in northern Italy to find a job. A very specific job. She is intent on becoming housemaid to the Adacher family, an unhappy couple who have a young daughter named

Thea and a prosperous jewelry-making business. It isn’t clear which one they’re staying together for.

Why does Irina want to work in this particular home? That’s the first mystery. The next is how she’ll gain the position. We learn how determined she is when she offers to pay the building’s sleazy concierge a share of her salary if he’ll recommend her. And again later, when the family’s current maid unexpectedly vacates the post by falling down the apartment house’s spiral staircase to her near-death. Once she’s hired by the family, Irina’s primary interest appears to be the couple’s well-hidden safe. Is it money she’s after, or something else behind that locked door? Mystery number three.

Even as the filmmaker allows the woman’s presentday story to unfold, he interweaves freaky, tantalizing fragments of her past existence. It’s just as well he lets us piece this puzzle together from masterfully edited flash-frames, because the picture they combine to form is not a pretty one. We glimpse a blonde woman in her

twenties being victimized in the most brutal fashion by a sadistic pimp named Mold. And soon we learn that he has tracked down the woman he considers his property. He and a cohort dressed as street-corner Santas beat Irina savagely as she walks home one night. Mold wants something from her all these years later and won’t take no for an answer, but what is it? Another mystery.

And there are many more to come.

Tornatore builds suspense with the insertion of each new question mark, and the result is one of the most disturbing, yet mesmerizing, thrillers in recent memory. The Hitchcock vibe is compounded by an Ennio Morricone score that sounds as if it was dictated from the next world

by Bernard Herrmann, and the camerawork by Fabio Zamarion is stunning. There isn’t a member of the cast who fails to create a compelling character, though the central performance by Rappoport is in a league of its own. For all practical purposes, she plays two roles, and in each her work is nuanced and moving.

Movie critic law forbids my hinting at the manner in which Tornatore answers all these questions and ties everything together — but, rest assured, he does. The final act is all but guaranteed to astonish and satisfy.

See this movie. Then tell your friends to see it. Then see it again with them. Filmmaking this wild and wonderful deserves better than a brief, unheralded arthouse run. It deserves the sort of fanfare it’s received in Europe. It’s the toast of the continent, and once you’ve watched it, the reason why will be anything but a mystery.

Bangkok Dangerous HH

A

HOLLYWOOD UNINSPIRED

Several fights in Bangkok make an actor bumble in this remake of a Thai thriller.

s an actor, Nicolas Cage has two basic modes: intense and very intense. So it doesn’t make much sense for him to play the role of a man whose survival depends on his ability to fly under the radar. Nonetheless, here he is as Joe (no last name), a hitman-for-hire whose work takes him all over the world to explore exotic places, meet new people, and kill them. He’s a man without a past or much of a future; questions of right and wrong don’t interest him. As Cage tells us in a lugubrious voiceover, a good hitman is a social outsider; he doesn’t make connections or leave traces.

So why does he dye his hair jet-black and wear it like a flatter version of Edward Scissorhands’? More to the point, Cage puts so much self-conscious emphasis into his lines that it’s hard to imagine him blending in anywhere but a Method acting class. The part calls for someone like Matt Damon, who was convincing in the Bourne movies as both a programmed assassin and a moral agent. Cage just looks sad — maybe because, unlike Ghost Rider and the National Treasure movies, this one doesn’t give him any excuse to camp it up.

The original Bangkok Dangerous (1999) was a Thai film about a deaf hitman who turns his disability into an asset — gunshots don’t faze him, and nothing breaks his focus on the target. Brothers Danny and Oxide Pang, who directed both original and remake, have chosen this time to transfer the hearing impairment from the protagonist to his love interest, a fresh-faced young pharmacist (Charlie Yeung). Why

they did so is hard to say. Bangkok Dangerous seems to be conceived as less an action movie than a downbeat, moody noir in the mode of Paul Schrader’s Light Sleeper, about a fallen man struggling with the possibility of redemption. (Not only does Cage’s character kill nearly without remorse, he also has a heroin habit.)

But noir characters need to have a past. In the original film, flashbacks established that the hitman was socially shunned long before he started killing for a living. In this version, the most we know of Cage’s background comes from his laconic interactions with Thai assistant Kong (Shahkrit Yamnarm), whom he makes into an apprentice of sorts. The scenes where he awakens Cage’s moral consciousness by designating one assassination target as “a bad man” and another — a populist politician — as a “good man” are laughable.

The hitman may be a mercenary, but Jason Richman’s screenplay makes him look like someone who’s never been introduced to the concepts of good and evil.

Of course, the Pang brothers are known for their stylish surfaces, not their deep thoughts. In their murky, blue-toned films, what you don’t see is more important than what you do — a technique that works best in a ghost story such as The Eye. Bangkok Dangerous has some effectively paced, glossily shot scenes, such as an assassination where Cage plays shark to drown a gangster in his own swimming pool, and the camera follows him into a shadowy, pulsing underwater world. But there’s no real suspense, because the

character is such a cipher, and there’s little at stake.

Watching Bangkok Dangerous makes you realize that even the dumbest hit action movies have sly ways of making you like their characters. Maybe they’re working-class heroes like Bruce Willis in the Die Hards, or maybe they have a blank Zen grace like Keanu Reeves in everything, or maybe they just have a sense of humor. Miscast in a movie that doesn’t seem to know what it wants to be, Cage has none of these advantages. At least his disastrous Wicker Man remake spawned a viral video montage that introduced a whole generation to the Oscar winner’s hysterical interpretation of lines such as “Killing me won’t bring back your goddamn honey!” That scene will probably be remembered a lot longer than anything in Bangkok Dangerous.

Winging It Rating a college town’s favorite finger food

BY ALICE LEVITT & SUZANNE PODHAIZER

W

hen you think about it, it’s kind of horrific. Every night, hungry folks all over the country grab a beer, sit down with their friends and munch on the tiny bones of dozens of martyred chickens.

There’s not even much muscle on the flightless wings. For many, tearing the meat from the bone is more of a distraction than a dining experience. But it doesn’t have to be.

sheets. We would have worn lab coats, but we didn’t want to see them turn greasy orange. Goggles might have been a good idea, as one of our testers was temporarily blinded by some errant hot sauce.

We tasted only the wares of wing purveyors that deliver to the full Burlington-area college circuit. If St. Mike’s students could not partake, neither could we. We also chose to stick to locally owned businesses — some small chains, others independent restaurants. Given that nearly every pizza place also serves wings, and we didn’t want to explode, we limited our

We hoped to encounter a wing that would make us cry, snot all over ourselves and possibly call an ambulance.

In honor of arriving college students everywhere, we at Seven Days set out to see if wings could soar to new heights.

Or at least transcend the freezer-burned, gummy-sauced finger food that’s all too often the norm.

Admittedly, wing tasting is not an exact science. We embarked on the experiment without formulating hypotheses. We did, however, make serious analyses, take thorough notes and, yes, construct spread-

survey to places with flavor — literally.

Although we love us some spicy Buffalo sauce, the four places we hit offer more options, such as Hickory Barbecue, Honey Dijon and Jamaican Jerk.

In addition to the grub, we ranked the quality of delivery service. No one wants to step away from the keg to go on a food run, and partiers ready to get their bite on won’t want the wings to arrive cold, with >> 05B

Phone manner

Fine and friendly. Was willing to discuss favorite flavors.

Fine, although her initial greeting was rushed and tough to understand. Also volunteered info about popular flavors.

Pleasant and patient. Recommended the various BBQ versions.

Helpful when asked several questions about the order.

Splitsville

Ordered two varieties. Each flavor came in a We tried two different kinds. The wings were in one container, separated by leaves different receptacle. of tissue paper.

Too excited by the plethora of flavors to choose just two, we split an order of 25 wings ($15.99) among four flavors. The wings arrived in separate parts of one container, so the sauces hadn’t mixed.

Each dozen was swaddled in tissue paper and nestled in an individual cardboard container.

The downside? When you’re reaching for the ones on the bottom, you’re likely to get sauce on your mitts.

Finger burns?

Hot enough for us.

Nice and toasty. But the restaurant is pretty near our office.

Yep. They brought them in an insulated bag.

Good call.

Some were hotter than others. They arrived in a paper grocery bag.

Wrap it up

Styrofoam containers were strapped together with a thick plastic band. We ripped into the styro when trying to cut the plastic strip. “This might be tough to do drunk at 2 a.m.,” Dan Bolles pointed out sagaciously. Flimsy plasticware came in individual packages, with one incredibly thin napkin each. Not nearly sufficient for mopping up the mess.

Individual aluminum containers with plastic tops came stacked in a paper bag. The tower was swathed in many layers of Saran wrap and required sharp objects to penetrate. We were pleased by the stack of napkins, but hasn’t anybody in this town heard of wet naps?

The only wing joint that has its own special Styrofoam containers with the company logo. And they were black, which makes it extra hip. What wasn’t hip? The lack of plasticware and napkins. It’s a party foul to lick your fingers and then feel around for your next wing.

Each dozen came in a paper box lined with lots of tissue paper, which is all well and good until bits of paper end up hitchhiking in the sticky sauces. On the positive side, we did get a nice stack of napkins.

Extras

No veggies. What the heck?

Three carrots and three celery sticks. Fine quality.

Celery all by its lonesome. It was crunchy, though.

Each dozen comes with its own baggie of fresh-looking celery.

Meatiness

Big fat wings.

Smaller, more compact pieces.

Medium-sized. They’re made from fresh chicken, not frozen, which is a huge plus.

Good-sized, but not huge.

Dressing quality

Eh. Not too flavorful. Where’s the blue cheese?

Very chunky blue cheese dressing. The ranch has a nice buttermilk flavor. Both are homemade.

Has its own “Wings Over” line of dipping sauces (e.g., ranch and blue cheese). Both were just fine, but they took a back seat to the tasty wings.

Nothing special. Blue cheese didn’t have much cheesy flavor. The ranch was nice and creamy.

Spicy-hot enough for ya?

Not so much. Traditional, vinegary sauce, messy container.

A bit hot, but not “PrepHOTstrous” by any means. Peppery heat that builds slowly.

Might seem hot after eating a bunch.

Finally, a truly spicy wing. Alice Levitt thought the rich, brick-red sauce looked “angry,” and we weren’t disappointed. “I can feel it in my ears,” commented Dan.

With pepper flakes sprinkled on the outside, these wings bit back. They weren’t the bright red, vinegary style; the sauce had more substance.

Flavor fave

We tried to order the fun-sounding Asian Zing, but they were out. We ended up with Italian wings, which were breaded and doused in Italian dressing. Alice liked the flavor, but the drenching of dressing made ‘em soggy.

Sweet Honey BBQ didn’t taste anything like BBQ. These were better when swiped through the dressing, resulting in a flavor combo similar to cream cheese and jelly. “It reminds me of Chinese restaurant sauces, sweet and gloppy,” Alice professed.

As already mentioned, we couldn’t order just one flavor, so we ended up with three.

And loved them all. Crisp, dry-rubbed Garlic Parmesan had some herbs in the mix. “It’s like biting into a garden,” said Alice. The mustard-y Golden Bar-B-Que was unusual and delicious. The Spicy Teriyaki wasn’t that spicy, but it was good nonetheless.

The Cajun version had a peppery dry rub — hot, crisp and good, though not typically Cajun. Honey BBQ was sweet and slightly tangy, but didn’t stand out from the crowd.

Boneless wings, ribs, waffle fries, sandwiches, wraps, veggie burgers, onion rings, coleslaw, soda.

Dinner combos, sandwiches, salads, subs, fries, chips, candy bars, beef jerky, pop tarts, Ben & Jerry’s pints.

What’s best?

Friendly service, expansive hours and the inclusion of silverware, however wimpy.

No puddles of sauce on the Buffalo wings. We liked the homemade dressings. The carrots and napkins were nice, too.

The freshness and the excellent variety of wing flavors will keep us going back for more. The slick packaging was nice. Those who hate human interaction can order on the web.

The wings themselves: They’re crisp and tasty.

The many non-chicken items on the menu make this a great option for big crowds.

A SAMPLING OF OUR LUNCH MENU

JUST OFF CHURCH STREET MARKET PLACE

What were the results?

When it comes to straight-up chicken-y goodness, Wings Over Burlington won our vote with its crisp, freshtasting wings in an array of flavors. We highly recommend it to connoisseurs and extreme eaters who like their Buffalo sauce on the scalding side.

Those who are ordering for a diverse crowd may want to consider our second favorite joint, New England Wings. The wings were enticing, and the numerous other options â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including six different salads, baskets of fried food, subs and pints of Ben & Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; make it easy to please everybody in the dorm.

Want the details? Read on.

And keep in mind that the members of our crack team urge readers to use protection when getting saucy. Always have a napkin ready. And paper towels. There is no harm in hygiene.

a layer of congealed fat. So we rated each order takerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phone manner, then timed how long it took for the food to show. No one wants to spend their hard-earned dollars (or their parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we noted who takes college cards) on an inferior product.

We took taste, texture, crispiness and freshness into account, sampling two flavors from each purveyor: whatever sounded most unusual, and the hottest Buffalo version on the menu. We hoped to encounter a wing that would make us cry, snot all over ourselves and possibly call an ambulance.

Of course, we took into consideration two of the most important lessons of higher education: The look and feel of the package counts, and size matters. No one wants a dry, teensy bone in her mouth.

ny trivia buff worth her salt knows Buffalo wings are named for the city where they originated, not for big, hairy mammals. But did you know that the flat pieces are called â&#x20AC;&#x153;flatsâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;wings,â&#x20AC;? while the ones that look like miniature drumsticks are called â&#x20AC;&#x153;drummettesâ&#x20AC;?? More facts follow to whet your appetites.

In 1964, Teressa Bellissimo of the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, N.Y., became the first person to deep-fry a batch of chicken wings and serve â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em coated in hot sauce with a side of blue cheese dressing and celery sticks. In 1977, the mayor of Buffalo declared July 29 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chicken Wing Dayâ&#x20AC;? to honor Teressa and her husband, Frank. In 2003, the restaurant received a James Beard Foundation Award, which is reserved for restaurants considered â&#x20AC;&#x153;American classics.â&#x20AC;?

Currently the Anchor Bar dishes up more than a thousand pounds of wings per day. But the place is no one-trick pony: Its menu is packed with pasta dishes, sandwiches, salads and Italian cordials. Nothing feeds the burn like chasing your wings with some grappa!

The annual National Buffalo Wing Festival takes place in Buffalo over Labor Day weekend. In 2008, 78,000 hungry attendees chowed down 27 tons of wings in more than 100 flavors. Yowzah!

Most of the participating restaurants are New York establishments, but this year a few purveyors

You can get 25¢ wings daily at Callahanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (30 Main Street in Burlington, 865-9700). The joint serves up fresh wings in batches of six, slathered in homemade sauces, from 5 to 6 p.m. and all day on Saturdays.

Ruben James (159 Main Street, Burlington, 864-0744), or RJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to locals, offers meaty bites for nothing from 5-9 p.m. on Fridays and 6-10 p.m. on Saturdays.

Respect the Wing, Tame the Drummette

Gas prices cutting into your takeout budget? The price of a cheap beer gets you wings at several area bars. The places that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give them gratis sometimes offer deals. (Hey, 25 cents each isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bad, even if it means you choose between wings and doing your weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laundry.)

Manhattan Pizza & Pub (167 Main Street, Burlington, 658-6776) is an all-day bonanza of free wings on Sundays and Tuesdays. The Essex Junction location (12 Railroad Avenue, 288-8080) isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t giving anything away, but it invites adventurous eaters to all-you-can-eat pizza and wings every Monday evening.

The new pub on the block, Unwinders (831 College Parkway, Colchester, 654-8080) asks just 25¢ per wing from 6-7 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big draw for St. Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students and bluecollar residents alike.

While Sunday- and Monday-night football entertain patrons, Hooters (1705 Williston Road, South Burlington, 660-8658) offers them wings at 30¢ a pop. No breast jokes, please.

They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t monkey around at the Monkey House (30 Main Street, Winooski, 655-4563). The hip music venue gets its wings from the folks at Sneakers Bistro. Try â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em for free on Wednesdays, starting at 4:30 p.m. and ending when the supply runs dry.

Nectarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (188 Main Street, Burlington, 658-4771) keeps the Yankees-Sox rivalry alive. Free wings from first pitch to last attract warring fans to all games featuring both teams. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A.L. & S.P.

hailed from farther afield, such as The Wing Coop of Salt Lake City. (In Utah, the sauces range from â&#x20AC;&#x153;beginnerâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;black diamond.â&#x20AC;? Can non-Mormons swig a brewski alongside? The menu doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say).

Also serving wings were Native New Yorker â&#x20AC;&#x201D; located in Tempe, Arizona â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Legend Larryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of Sheboygan, Wisconsin. The weirdest wingery name?

Quaker State and Lube from Sharon, Pennsylvania.

Based on statistical samples from the 2007 festival, organizers say the bulk of their visitors are Buffalo-area males who make more than $50,000 per year and eat chicken wings between one and three times per week. The local cardiologists must eat that up.

Speaking of cardiologists, everybody knows wings arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly healthy heart fare. But because each recipe is different, it can be hard to calculate the damage. A version of the original Anchor Bar recipe reprinted in The Los Angeles Times puts it at 567 calories and 48 grams of fat for four wings dipped in blue cheese.

If you eat a dozen of those wings by yourself, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sucking down 2268 calories, more than enough to fuel an adult male for an entire day.

But at least theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re low-carb, right?

Saucy Buffalo-wing goodness is no longer limited to chicken. These days, snack-food manufacturers offer spicy and tangy treats inspired by the classic. For example, Snyderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of Hanover makes a Hot Buffalo Wing Pretzel, described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;generous chunks of our sourdough pretzels bursting with [the] intense flavor . . . of hot sauce seasoned with cayenne peppers and paprika.â&#x20AC;? Pringles takes it to the next level with Extreme Blazinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Buffalo Wing crisps.

Like your snack foods to play it cooler? The makers of Cheez-It Twisters add the dipping sauce to the equation with their Hot Wings & Cheesy Blue flavor. Kettle Chips is classier: Its crunchy treat is called Buffalo Bleu. Très chic.

For those who want to know exactly whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going into the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buffalo-flavoredâ&#x20AC;? sauce, web-based recipe collections offer plenty of takes on Buffalo shrimp, Buffalo meatballs and Buffalo pizza.

Feel like a stud â&#x20AC;&#x2122;cause you ate more wings than your friends? Sonya Thomas might have something to say about that. Known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black Widow,â&#x20AC;? the 41-year-old Korean-born Burger King manager is currently ranked sixth in the pantheon of gluttons who compose the International Federation of Competitive Eating. At the U.S. Buffalo Wing Eating Championship on August 30, 101-pound Thomas ate 165 wings in 12 minutes.

This past February at the Philadelphia Wing Bowl â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which takes place on Super Bowl weekend â&#x20AC;&#x201D; eating machine Joey Chestnut set a record unlikely to be surpassed. Known for snatching the Nathanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hot Dog Eating Contest Belt from the waist of skinny Takeru Kobayashi, Chestnut has enjoyed an unparalleled reign of gustatory terror.

Besting his previous performance of 182 wings in a half-hour, this year he stomached 241 in the same time. His rival, the punkish Patrick Bertoletti, busted his own gut with 227 spicy nibbles.

How do they do it? Both dudes began building their iron stomachs in college, and use gastric stretching exercises to prepare for competition. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A.L. & S.P.

Right to Bite NEW PIZZERIA OFFENDS SOME SENSITIVE SOUTH ENDERS

Edible EntrĂŠes NEW â&#x20AC;&#x2122;CUE, ADDITIONAL ASIAN, MEXICAN MUNCHIES

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been eight long months for central Vermont BBQ fans. The January demise of Finkermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Montpelier left the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pulled-pork proponents empty-handed. But now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re licking their lips over Edâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Barr-B-Q â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in, you guessed it, Barre.

On August 18, the joint became more than just a catering service and sauce company when it opened for take-out business at 248 North Main Street.

Known for crime-themed barbecue marinades that range from the milder â&#x20AC;&#x153;Misdemeanorâ&#x20AC;? to the hefty â&#x20AC;&#x153;Capital Offense,â&#x20AC;? Ed Lamorey expects to open for full-service dining at the beginning of October. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We bought the building,â&#x20AC;? he explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;including the apartment on top.

Winooskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single square mile is already home to Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese and Pan-Asian restaurants. Now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new Thai and Japanese place in Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Asia.â&#x20AC;? Food 88 is located where the Blue Star CafĂŠ used to be.

Champ Chompupong, also owner of Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bangkok Bistro, is offering most of BBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thai menu, along with sushi, Japanese rice and noodle bowls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Crazy Bowls are very popular, and Vermonters love our Tom Ka,â&#x20AC;? says the smiling Chompupong.

Hearty servings of spicy curries and pad Thai, and Japanese katsus and teriyakis, are a great deal: $5.95 for lunch and $8.50 for dinner. But the real steal is the $1 sushi. With a minimum of four pieces, diners can stack up the seafood until theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stuffed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rent in Winooski is less than Burlington, so we can afford to charge less,â&#x20AC;?

Chompupong explains. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ALICE LEVITT PHOTO: ALICE LEVITT

The name of the South Endâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest restaurant, Bite Me Organic Pizza, exhorts the eater to dig in.

But for some customers, the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name has more vulgar connotations.

Jack Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new pizza place on St. Paul Street has generated a flurry of postings on the neighborhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Front Porch Forum, some of which have been rather, well, biting.

In a message left for this reporter, FPF commenter Dorie Weigand points out: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way our language has evolved, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bite meâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is pretty confrontational and aggressive . . . I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really think that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m offended; I just think that the language that was used was not well thought out for a new business.â&#x20AC;?

Democratic City Councilor Joan Shannon, who lives nearby with her 6-year-old daughter, questions Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marketing motives: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the aim may have been to appear trendy or cutting edge,â&#x20AC;? she opines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good line if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to attract college studentsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as opposed to families.

Would Shannon go there without her elementary schooler? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have mixed feelings,â&#x20AC;? she admits, conceding that Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien â&#x20AC;&#x153;has made a great improvement to a problem property in the neighborhood. . . . I hear they have good pizza. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a matter of whether or not I can overcome the name to go eat pizza there.â&#x20AC;?

Others neighbors, like Jessica Oski, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t concerned about the pizzeriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moniker: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say that the name is an attempt at being clever, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not necessarily the name that I would have chosen, but there are certainly things in this world that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more concerned about talking to my kids about: war, poverty, racism, etc.â&#x20AC;? And, she points out, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are biting the food.â&#x20AC;?

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien himself seems somewhat baffled by the furor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry they feel that way about the name, but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make them see something differently if they perceive â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bite meâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as a negative.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just trying to do everything positive.â&#x20AC;?

His final word on the topic: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like that the people here are innovative, smart, picky and opinionated: All these things are fantastic. I love the fact that we can agree to disagree.â&#x20AC;? Slice of Vermont life. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; SUZANNE PODHAIZER

Right now we could seat about 45, but when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be more like 90.â&#x20AC;?

His concept, in keeping with the names of his sauces, is unique, to say the least: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve started putting up bars on the windows and working with the police department to get a few more items.

The waitresses will have holsters.â&#x20AC;? He goes on to elaborate that the food is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Southern barbecue with a Northern twist. The meat is Memphis-Kansas City style in the way we sauce it. Everything is made from scratch. Our corn bread and baked beans have real Vermont maple syrup.â&#x20AC;?

Until the prison doors swing open, customer can bring home ribs, pulled pork and wings for lunch Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Dinner is Friday only.

Plan C? Burlingtonians hungering for the vibrant flavors of authentic south-of-the-border cuisine may not have to wait much longer. Two savvy restaurateurs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Franke Salese of Juniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Italian and Patrick Finnigan of Finniganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pub â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are teaming up to open an as-yet-unnamed Mexican cantina in the spot formerly occupied by the ultra-hip Waiting Room and Plan B. Salese promises that the joint will be decorated with vibrant colors and that the waitstaff will be accomplished. But how will the strikingly non-Mexican duo ensure that the empanadas are the real deal? Although the executive chef will be a transplant from the Italian eatery in Colchester, there are also â&#x20AC;&#x153;a couple of chefs coming up from Mexico through this friend of mine,â&#x20AC;? Salese explains. Hmmm.

If all goes well with licensing, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be dishing up the comida â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as early as October 15. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The place is pretty much set; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just going to spruce it up,â&#x20AC;? Salese says.

Part of that sprucing includes the addition of a few TVs. On Sunday, the eatery will open at noon so hungry customers can catch the afternoon football games. After all, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing like a little pigskin with your posole. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; SUZANNE PODHAIZER

THUMB TWIDDLIN’

If shameless self-promotion makes you squeamish, you might want to skip ahead to the next column item. Cuz this is gonna get gloriously, back-pattingly dirty. And, yeah, I just made up a word. Do something.

You may or may not have noticed a curious little magazine floating around Burlington in recent weeks. Perhaps in the hallowed halls of our fair burgh’s institutions of higher learning. Or maybe in the clutches of any number of the thousands of fresh-faced youngsters currently descending on our lakeside hamlet clad in not-really-ironicanymore T-shirts bearing the word “college.” Ah, frosh.

Anyway, the new rag is called What’s Good and it is essentially a reference guide for those new to the area to get acquainted with their newly adopted home. It’s written by a slew of Seven Days staffers, including yours truly. Actually, even if you’re a townie, I’ll wager you will find some interesting bits buried within its glossy pages. But that’s not really the point, at least for our purposes here.

The point — you knew I’d get to it eventually — is that to celebrate the launch of our new educational foray, we’re throwing a monster two-floor party at Nectar’s and Club Metronome on Thursday, September 18. And you’re all invited. Hell, half of you are probably playing it.

We’re calling the hootenanny — or is it a hoedown?

RACHEL RIES AND ANAÏS MITCHELL — “The Bands of Burlington” showcase because, well, it features a smorgasbord of killer local acts. We’re still ironing out the final details. But here’s what we’ve got so far.

Slated to appear are hip-hop heavyweights The Aztext, jazzyproggy rockers Japhy Ryder, art-rock stalwarts Swale, loveable smartasses The Vanderpolls (formerly Phish . . . just kidding), indie-rock up-and-comers In Memory of Pluto, Fourth Wave ska-punk revivalists Husbands AKA and alt-country troubadour Lowell Thompson. Oh, and this just in, alt-something supergroup Cannon Fodder has just been added to the bill as well. By this time next week, we should have another addition or two to announce, so stay tuned.

The evening will be hosted by local funny man extraordinaire Alex Nief and will feature giveaways from Burton Snowboards and Sugarbush. The show will also will also serve as a benefit for Big Heavy World and The Radiator, which will have a podcast from the show available online. UVM’s WRUV will be simulcasting live.

And that’s what’s good.

I suppose that’s enough horn tooting — for this week, anyway.

And there is a whole bunch of other nifty, non-7D-related stuff happening in the coming week.

First up, jam fans will want to take note of a rare, strictly localvore show on the Ballroom stage at Higher Ground this Friday featuring upstart groovers Twiddle. This is the band’s second gig at the area’s marquee venue, and after months of touring and grassroots promotion, they’re aiming for a sellout. Believe it or not, they just might do it. Good luck, boys.

Also of note on the bill are local openers Greyspoke, yet another recent entry into Burlington’s ever-wiggling jam-rock fold.

The band is also holding court with a weekly Nectar’s gig— love those local residencies! — that is doubling as a live album recording session every Wednesday in September. Jam on.

WHAT’S GOOD?

IN MEMORY OF PLUTO

AUSTIN CITY LIMITS

It has been a pleasure to write about former Zola Turn front woman Alice Austin’s recent string of Burlington homecoming shows — I am a sucker for anything related to Burlington’s 1990s rock heyday, after all. I have been keeping up on her new tunes through the technological marvel that is the Internet — MySpace: Not just for stalkers anymore!

In particular, two songs that were recently sent my way by local booking dude Sean Altrui really struck my fancy. “Never Cry Halo” and “Graveyard Before Dark” (the latter is the title song from Austin’s forthcoming album) are a pair of rockers that would make Joan Jett blush.

Speaking of which, funny story about those two ditties. If you attend Austin’s show at Parima’s Acoustic Lounge this Friday and sign up for her email list, you’ll be sent both songs via email and can rock out like I have been for the last couple of weeks. Local chanteuse Caroline O’Connor opens the show.

BITES IN BRIEF A heartfelt “woo-hoo!” goes out to Pine Street Jazz, which turns a whopping 10 years old this week. The sextet is composed of some of the area’s finest players, and their weekly collaborations at the Lincoln Inn have featured just about every local jazz vocalist worth his or her scat — um, maybe I should rephrase that? Friday night the band will celebrate in grand style with a special performance at Burlington’s FlynnSpace.

Speaking of anniversaries, Honky-Tonk Tuesday at Radio Bean turned three years old last week. Congrats on making it through those terrible twos. Is there anything whiskey can’t do?

And speaking of honky-tonk, I’m pleased to report that Mark Legrand’s Honky-Tonk Happy Hour, Friday afternoons at Langdon Street Café, are back in action after a lengthy layoff. Yee-haw!

Remember The Gin Blossoms? Apparently someone does, because they’re headlining the second annual Burke Mountain Music Festival this Saturday with the pride of Bangor, Maine, Howie Day and Louisiana singer-songwriter Marc Broussard. Speaking of blasts from the pop-rock past, reggae-rock fusionists O.A.R. will be headlining at Burlington’s Memorial Auditorium the night before, so you won’t have to choose. Whew!

We don’t give a lot of ink to The Purple Moon Pub in Waitsfield, but there’s a show this Tuesday that indie-folk fans will want to put on their radar. First up is quirky Brooklyn act Leland Sundries, which has some definitively Cracker-esque influences. The headlining act is a fellow named Dan Kaplan, whom discerning alt-country acolytes will remember from acclaimed outfit The Still. Not to be confused with Montréal’s The Stills, of course.

Before she hops across the pond to tour with Bon freakin’ Iver, local songwriter Anaïs Mitchell will embark on a short string of dates with Chicago’s Rachel Ries to promote their new five-song split, country e.p. The duo is releasing the high-lonesome quickie on Ani DiFranco’s Righteous Babe label. Catch their only Vermont date this Saturday at the Higher Ground Ballroom.

In biz-related news, WRUV will host a free booking seminar Wednesday, September 17, at UVM’s Davis Center. The workshop will feature reps from Higher Ground, the Monkey House, Big Heavy World and Tick Tick, all of whom know a thing or two about the ins and outs of booking and promotion. According to a recent press release, the goal is to “demystify the process of organizing a music event.”

Awesome. But where were those guys when we were putting together the “Bands of Burlington” Showcase at Club Metronome and Nectar’s on Thursday, September 18? >

OH, JESUS! :: In the beginning, there was MxPx. And it was good. The Christian pop-punk progenitors are remarkable in that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve managed to maintain underground punk cred, while simultaneously shepherding the Jesus-rock flock. As a glut of sound-alike rip-offs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; lookinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at you, Fallout Boy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; assault mainstream airwaves, the 16-year scene vets have held true to their roots, appealing to atheist anarchists and pious punkers alike.

KELLY RAVIN, BARBED WIRE

PONTIAK, SUN ON SUN (Thrill Jockey Records, CD)

(Kelly Ravin Music, CD) The collective mellow of Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everwiggly groove scene was unceremoniously harshed earlier this year when sun-kissed jam-pop trio Lucy Vincent abruptly called it quits. The group had a strong following, both in their native Marthaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vineyard and their adopted homeport of Burlington.

They were also ardent road warriors, touring frequently. Upon their breakup, the rumor mill pointed to the ever-ubiquitous â&#x20AC;&#x153;artistic differencesâ&#x20AC;? as a prime motivator. With his debut EP Barbed Wire, guitarist Kelly Ravin is the first to emerge from the LV ashes and does his best to lend credence to that claim.

The disc begins with the hothouse-tinged â&#x20AC;&#x153;City Girls.â&#x20AC;? The tuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bouncy blues rhythm sets the tone early on and serves notice that this is definitely not a Lucy Vincent album. The interplay between acoustic and electric guitars â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both played by Ravin â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are a nice touch. Although something goes amiss about midway through the track as the acoustic fails to lock in with the lead guitar â&#x20AC;&#x201D; overdub foible, perhaps? The result is grating and detracts from an otherwise fine opener.

Ravin is a gifted singer. However, he is occasionally guilty of employing overwrought ornamental vocal flourishes. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at his most engaging when he simply lets the natural expressiveness of his voice shine through. And nowhere is that clearer than on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Old Dawg,â&#x20AC;? the EPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standout track. A deceptively pretty melody provides the foundation for deceptively dark lyrics. Sparse instrumental makeup adds to the tuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chilling starkness. Ravin executes a tastefully understated vocal performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So So Sorryâ&#x20AC;? follows and is a pleasing little love song. Again, the tuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nicer moments are when Ravin lays back and trusts in his reedy croon and smart lyrics to deliver the message.

The remainder of the disc is somewhat hit or miss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those Daysâ&#x20AC;? is a solid ballad. But Ravinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faux blues delivery on the following number, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In My Past,â&#x20AC;? sounds unnatural and forced. The rootsy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tired and Testedâ&#x20AC;? is a slow-burning stunner and offers his finest lyrical work. But the title cut closing the EP feels strangely out of place. Here, Ravinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice is doubled. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only instance in which he employs the oft-overused studio trick, and the result is flat and listless.

Ultimately, Barbed Wire is a strong solo debut and casts Ravin in a grittier light than did his previous work with feel-good popsters Lucy Vincent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though fans of that band will still find a lot to like about his new direction.

Kelly Ravin performs Wednesday, September 10, at the Monkey House in Winooski with his â&#x20AC;&#x153;otherâ&#x20AC;? band, Cannon Fodder.

DAN BOLLES

From Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blue Ridge region comes a musical curiosity of mind- and genre-bending proportions.

Depending on your personal proclivities, you might identify this trio as either a narcotic stoner band or raunchy Southern rock. And in both cases youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be right. Pontiakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest seven-song effort, Sun on Sun, released on Chicago indie vanguard Thrill Jockey Records, is a swirling maelstrom of sinister psychedelia fueled by monstrous guitar riffery and stark, Lizard King-esque lyricism.

Droning head-bobber â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shell Skullâ&#x20AC;? is the first heady shot fired across the bow. Brothers Van (guitar, vocals), Lain (drums, vocals) and Jennings Carney (bass, organ, vocals) unleash a slow-burning torrent of dirty guitars and reverb-washed vocals propelled by a hypnotically driving bass line.

In fact, I accidentally had my CD player on repeat and listened to the tune about four times in succession before I realized it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one epic jam. And I was totally OK with that.

Though I kinda wished I was high, even though I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t partake.

The following â&#x20AC;&#x153;Swellâ&#x20AC;? might please ambient drone and â&#x20AC;&#x153;other musicâ&#x20AC;? crowds.

The rest of us might find it more a fitting interlude to â&#x20AC;&#x153;White Hands.â&#x20AC;? The tune begins with an escalating, rapid-fire guitar and drum riff before exploding into another headnodding churner. Oh, sweet release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;White Miceâ&#x20AC;? is a schizophrenic marvel.

And in Pontiakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually a good thing. The near 7-minute-long tune undergoes a series of metamorphoses that would make Kafka blush.

The discâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title track is a centerpiece, combining stylistic and foundational elements from the preceding tunes to form a 9-minute psychedelic opus. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if you could sync the tune to The Wizard of Oz, but it might be fun to try. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tell Me Aboutâ&#x20AC;? is the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most accessible cut. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the easiest to pin down as the descendant of Doors-inspired bacchanalia â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least for the first three minutes or so. Van Carney pulls an eerie Morrison impression, and brother Jenningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organ work has shades of Manzarek.

Album closer â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Brush Burned Fastâ&#x20AC;? is an oddity in an album teeming with them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a beautiful, sparse acoustic ballad.

Art, Burlington-Style Posters, rockin’ and gratuitous nudity at Burlington’s Art Hop STORY BY DAN BOLLES

I

mohh-JayPeak090308.indd 1

We made our way past The Box Studio on Pine Street, where a small child was playing fiddle for about 10 people, framed by the sodium arc of street lamps and a constant stream of passersby.

love the Art Hop. No, I’m not really a fan of “art,” per se. Though I can scrunch my nose, stroke my chin and nod knowingly at paintings and sculptures with the best of ’em.

For me, it’s all about the spectacle.

Thousands of people from all walks of artistic and non-artistic life descend on Burlington’s South End for the event each year. And watching the throngs of revelers ambling along Pine Street to and from various studios has become a time-honored final salvo to summer. This year proved no different . . . sort of.

I began my trek Friday night at Sanctuary Artsite, otherwise known as the offices of Jager Di Paola Kemp Design. Higher Ground and the über-hip design firm were celebrating the launch of __ of 1500, a new book documenting their 10-year relationship and the stunning collection of free concert poster art that partnership birthed. Jaded folks in the Queen City sometimes grouse that HG “doesn’t book any good shows, man.” The works on display at

JDK proved that sentiment simply silly.

Posters from a remarkable array of shows adorned the walls.

Just strolling through the gallery brought back fond memories of nights at both the Winooski (Wilco, Gillian Welch, Badly Drawn Boy) and South Burlington (M. Ward, My Morning Jacket, Built To Spill) locations. I was also struck by pangs of bitter jealousy when reminded of shows I can’t believe I missed (The Shins, The Pants reunion, Tenacious D).

By the time I made my way to the building’s basement/skate ramp, local experimental trio Oak had just begun their set. Seated on the floor, the band coaxed loud, eerie drones from behind a techno-geek’s wet dream of sonic doohickies. But “other” music is not for everyone. And here I’m thinking of the two small children who immediately plugged their ears and ran for the door once the show started. It’s OK, kiddos, it’s an acquired taste.

Unfortunately, the folks I was with had yet to acquire the taste, too. And so it was time to hop — that’s the whole point anyway, right?

SMOKY KNOLLS

As we crossed the street and headed towards Speaking Volumes, a riotous cacophony greeted

our ears. Turning the corner into the parking lot, a similarly frantic visual feast met our eyes. Hundreds of people filled the dirt lot, most headed towards the curious sounds emanating from behind the building.

As we neared the makeshift stage, a bizarre scene unfolded before us. Fire dancers twirled flames on various swinging implements.

Jugglers tossed glowing red balls through the muggy night air. At one point, two standing on either side of the makeshift stage in front of the loading dock juggled over the band from 20 feet apart.

Onstage, harmonicore hooligans Cccome? were holding court, their subversive sounds practically bending the crowd to their hedonistic will. Debauched bandleader Smoky Knolls preached bohemian revolution to the masses. From inside an inflated, opaque tent to the left of the stage, women danced in pairs, their sensuous silhouettes projected 15 feet high against its walls.

Knolls ended the set by imploring the crowd to join him in a parade down Pine Street — the group had somehow procured 60 marching-band outfits from a local

high school. But on this night, clothes would prove an unnecessary accoutrement. Because that’s when the topless chicks showed up.

As the first dancers descended the ramp from the now deflated tent, an uneasy buzz fell over the crowd. “Are they . . . ? Are those . . . ?”

Yup. Breasts.

Grinding electronica filled the air, meeting the growing carnal tension — and disbelief — in a sweaty haze of lust and loops. For a while, the topless dancers rotated on and off stage in pairs. But then all five women came together for a rapturous finale.

A stunned pause followed the conclusion of the performance.

And then as hearty a cheer as you’ll ever hear in Burlington erupted from the audience. The line between stage and crowd blurred into nonexistence as the music kicked in again and an orgiastic dance party ensued.

There were other bands to come. And they were good. But this was a heady night in Burlington. And nudity, er, art is always a tough act to follow. >

COMING TO AMERICA :: Vermonters should count themselves very fortunate to have a direct pipeline to an immense supply of the planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest cutting-edge artists. Thanks to Charlotte-based worldmusic imprint Cumbancha and its ongoing concert series with legendary label Putumayo, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re intimately connected with bright new talent. The semi-monthly celebration continues with the U.S. debut of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zimbabweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Voice,â&#x20AC;? Chiwoniso. The multitalented up-and-comer is already a star in her native country, blending traditional African rhythms with more modern elements of funk and reggae. And her inspiring, socially conscious lyricism should endear her to fans far and wide. Say you saw her when, this Thursday at Higher Groundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Showcase Lounge.

the play’s the thing The gifted actors of Shakespeare and Company call Lenox, Massachusetts, home. But, like the Bard himself, they take their show on the road. The company’s national tour of Hamlet offers a polished, postmodern take on the famous tragedy. Yes, the plot’s familiar: Hamlet’s uncle kills his father and marries his mother to usurp Denmark’s throne; cue angry dithering. Inventive casting and framing freshen up the 400-year-old opus: Actor Jason Asprey (pictured) plays the mad and moody Dane, and Tina Packer, the troupe’s artistic director and Asprey’s offstage mother, is Queen Gertrude. (Asprey’s dad — Dennis Krausnick — plays Polonius.) Don’t be surprised by sudden lights and noises heralding flashbacks: Director Eleanor Holdridge sets the show “in the electrical synapse pulses of Hamlet’s dying brain.” How’s that for a meditation on memory?

scene@ “TALK ABOUT YOUR PAINT ROLLER!” ART HOP, BURLINGTON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 6 P.M.

photo: Matthew Thorsen

The large, white, double-primed canvas was laid out in the parking lot of the South End Arts and Business Association, held down on the corners by blocks of wood and stone.

Artist Jean Cherouny was ready to roll, as it were. The crowd closed in as she began to stomp in a puddle of black paint on a palette next to the blank canvas.

Cherouny was wearing a pair of Rollerblades, already splattered in an array of crusted paint colors. She bounced in them gracefully, which led me to believe she’d done this before (I found out later she’d been a ski racer). The anticipation for her first loop around the canvas was palpable; what might this unconventional way of painting produce? What would it express?

She made the first loop, and back around again — an almost figure-eight maneuver.

And then the breeze picked up, swirling the hair of the women in attendance in all directions. The wind also grabbed the canvas, pulling it out from under its anchors, and tossed it about, folding it onto itself. The audience scurried to Cherouny’s aid, grabbing the canvas and re-positioning it for her next phase of stomping, rolling, kicking and strolling.

“I’m dancing with the wind,” Cherouny said lightheartedly. Her eyes were wide, serious and intense, studying the canvas like a mechanic might an engine bay.

“This early sketch is like meeting a new friend; there’s a lot of emotion,” she continued, panting after a dozen or more laps around her “stage.” The canvas was now filled with loops, lines, circles and splatters — a controlled chaos that illustrator Ralph Steadman would probably enjoy.

Cherouny continued to make marks and loops with her ’blades. The emerging painting was abstract and energetic, which seemed to team well with her blue-andwhite checkered shorts and short, spunky haircut. Observers came and went, drifting inside the SEABA office or to other Art Hop venues. My stomach started to growl, and I stuffed my pen in my pocket, turned my hat around, and kick-started my moped. I careened through the parking lot toward the road, feeling electrified, motivated and inspired to write.

ALL ROADS LEAD TO CHROME Every motorcycle has two wheels, but sport bikes definitely differ from your average highway Harley. Hightest engines rest inside lightweight frames, fat tires enable riders to take corners at higher speeds, and performance and looks trump comfort. That’s not to say so-called “crotch rockets” have to be hazardous: At the Vermont Sport Bikes Show and Shine, reps from the state’s rider-education program offer key safety info. Parked rows of spiffed-up cycles — some of them regulars at the organization’s weekly Winooski meetup — compete in three categories, based on their condition, modifications, paint job and overall uniqueness. A swap meet, raffle and vendors’ booths set off exhibits featuring a hydrogen-generator car, racing bikes, and “Smackdown” — Jeffersonville-based bike builder Tommy Graves’ chameleon-green machine, which won the top title in a 2007 nationwide contest. Vroom, vroom.

“IRRESISTIBLE!” —New York Times

TWO SHOWS JUST ADDED

CHISELED FEATURES Granite deposits were discovered at Barre’s Millstone Hill soon after the War of 1812. Over the next century, immigrant workers helped build the small city into the “granite center of the world” — so-called for its vast vein of the fine-grained gray rock, a great material for weather-resistant outdoor sculptures.

Talented carvers take up tools this weekend at the Barre Granite Festival, which memorializes the city’s rock-solid heritage. Start off with an 8:45 a.m. tour of the elaborately engraved gravestones in Hope Cemetery, then break in a brand-new bocce court built by attendees of the concurrent International Stone Workers Symposium. Art shows, stonecutting demos and a chicken barbecue complement live music by the maritime folk band Atlantic Crossing. Save some stamina for the “Lithic Olympics” — and don’t take your strength for, er, granite.

Nearly 3000 people and 900 dogs descend on the museum grounds for contests in categories including â&#x20AC;&#x153;best kisser,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;best trickâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;best lap dog over 50 pounds.â&#x20AC;? Energetic mutts show their stuff on an agility course, and the pet-and-owner masquerade parade presents everything from rhinestone tiaras and tutus to food-themed outfits. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special treat? An attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the loudest collective dog bark, last set in 2003 in La Crosse, Wisconsin, at 110 decibels. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only 5 decibels short of sandblasting. Better bring your earplugs.

i Spy...

Dear Mistress Maeve: I haven’t had a girlfriend in a while. I’m not really lonely, but it would be nice. I know I’m not that bad looking, because I always catch girls staring at me in class and stuff. Any tips on how to get a good girl at college? I’m a little rusty and nervous.

Thanks, College Guy

Dear College Guy, Opportunities to meet “good girls” abound at college. It sounds like you’re in a good place to start dating — not too lonely or desperate. Relax, don’t be over-anxious, and follow these handy tips: • Do smile at the girls who are staring at you in class. Confident guys are sexy — try chatting up your favorite cute coed after the lecture.

• Don’t wait until Thanksgiving break to get a haircut or wash your sheets.

• Do use social networking sites to your advantage. You don’t want to be an Internet stalker, but you should friend-request acquaintances you’d like to get to know better.

• When you meet a girl you like, don’t call her “dude.”

• Do participate in community service projects organized by your school. If you want to meet a “good girl,” getting to know someone while helping the community is a good start.

• Don’t be a knucklehead — study hard and don’t do too many keg stands. You’re more apt to find a worthy mate in the library, not at a frat party.

• When you’re ready to take a relationship to the next level, do practice safe sex. Safe is smart, and smart is sexy.

• Above all, be yourself. Find a group of friends who share your ideals, and don’t bend your beliefs for anyone — especially not a prospective date.

Follow these guidelines, and you’ll find your college romance in no time.

Crackin’ the whip and the books,

mm
