Blog: Dohiyi Mir
NO SHOESTRINGS ATTACHED I was glad to see that Seven Days’ September 20 issue was the fall preview issue, listing upcoming dance, music, and theater performances as well as telephone numbers and websites of local theater companies. Unfortunately, Theatre on a Shoestring (TOAS) was omitted from both, even though our upcoming production of Shirley Valentine opens this week. TOAS is presenting Willy Russell’s one-woman comedy Shirley Valentine September 28-30 at Contois Auditorium [Burlington] at 7:30 p.m. A special benefit performance on Saturday, September 30, at 2 p.m. will be held for Women Helping Battered Women. Maine actress Mary BastoniRebmann plays Shirley. Tickets are $10 each and can be obtained on the theater’s website at www.theatreshoe.com. Tickets may also be purchased via phone by calling toll-free, 888-212-5884 . . . While many of the larger, wellknown companies were listed in the fall preview, there are also many smaller companies in the area that produce quality productions that Seven Days readers should know about.

TIMOTHY ON GEORGE BUSH I know I said blogging was going to be light today, but I was interrupted by the Dogz going apeshit over intruders in the yard. Yup, the Jehovah’s Witnesses came by to share some “good news” with me. They were very nice: a senior woman and a younger woman. I always let them talk for a little while until they ask their leading questions. Today’s passage from Scripture was 2 Timothy 3: 1-5: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God — having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. “What does this sound like to you?” they asked. “Well, I was raised a Quaker and this all sounds just like it describes...certain people in charge of our nation right right now.” Then I got my free copies of Awake and Watchtower. Current topics: Is there a Creator?; Are we living in ‘the last days’? Posted September 25 by N. Todd Pritsky

caption to the photograph on page 13A? [“Signs of the Times,” September 20]? The text states“. . . the lawn-sign wars are waged within a single household.” Yet the photograph clearly shows two gas meters on the building, indicating it is likely a duplex, housing two separate households. Can you verify that the signs were actually placed by or on behalf of the owners of the property? And that they are in fact “bedfellows?” Did Mr. Thorsen, or a reporter, confirm the facts of the statements made in this caption through direct inquiry or reference to public records? The majority of residents in the Old North End rent, rather than own, the “dwelling units” in which they reside. The majority of properties in the Old North End do not have an owner in residence. Fortunately, the rights of free speech and franchise are vouchsafed to all citizens, not reserved exclusively to those who hold title to real estate, and our voter registry is unmarred by indicators of one’s wealth and property. Without verification of the factual basis of this caption, I cannot help but wonder why Seven Days would assume or imply that political opinion is the privilege of the propertied. Kristina McCormack

er, if you have one, and head for Lost Nation Theater in Montpelier. We have attended many productions of Shakespeare at the Royal Shakespeare Theater in England, at Stratford, Ontario, and as long-time subscribers to the Folger Shakespeare Theater in Washington, D.C. We have seen several productions of Romeo and Juliet over the years. The best production we have seen of that play is currently running at Lost Nation Theater. The cast is uniformly excellent and the two actors playing title roles are spectacular. There is something for everyone in this most accessible of Shakespeare’s plays and Lost Nation brings passionate love and great tragedy to full execution. The wild sword fighting alone is worth the price of admission. This is one you don’t want to miss. Romeo and Juliet runs through October 8. Robert Maurice Johnson & Anne Theresa Johnson WATERBURY
RAVE ON If you haven’t seen Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in a while or ever, run to Montpelier and catch Lost Nation’s lastest offering. They have managed to make those familiar lines fresh. Romeo is so natural in his being he feels contemporary. His buddies will make you blush. Juliet is exactly as a young girl will be8:35 with AM love’sPage first blush. And it’s 1

A SINGLE PEDAL Thanks to Sarah Tuff, for her knowing and entertaining article on our patent-pending, non-rotary “geometric� bicycle propulsion design [“Fit to Live,� August 30]. We regret that the variable-speed pedals and ratio-control mechanism were not ready for demon-
stration by the date of their announced media introduction at the Labor Day GMSR Criterium. We brought both the single-speed and variable-speed prototypes out for discussion and demonstration anyway, and we’re working on the remaining problems. Interested readers may see pix and videos, and keep up with developments, at www.geometricbikes.com. Steve Norman BURLINGTON

WHO’S BIASED? Pablo Picasso said, “There’s nothing more difficult than a line.� Then it’s not surprising that the most controversial pieces in the South End Art Hop [“Art Review,� September 13] were the lines of the juror, Elizabeth Olbert. It would have been easier for her to have said, “Have a nice day.� Instead, she took this opportunity to produce an honest assessment of art fairs, and in particular our own. Rather than getting real and
addressing the issues she raised, critics attacked the messenger. Elizabeth spoke of criticism and education, neither entered into this review. Instead the reviewers claim, “She’s biased� (unlike ourselves?). Suffice it to say by association those works that she praised are thereby suspect. Her biases justly disqualify her from having an opinion. This serves only as a validation to those fragile egos who found her words offensive. It’s OK, she’s bad, we’re good, now everyone go back to their nice days. It’s perfectly legitimate to write a negative review. Personal attacks are not criticism any more than “not-so-good� is the new visionary. A review should enlighten, educate, and actually critique the work constructively, either in its praise or dismissal. Reviews like this are eerily reminiscent of Elizabeth’s concerns regarding the failure to cultivate a climate for serious thought. And that should be offensive to us all. P.S. My own work was in the juried show and no, it didn’t win. Kered Alexander
THANKS! On behalf of everyone involved with the Burlington Book Festival, I’d like to thank the publishers, staff and readers of Seven Days for all they did to make this year’s event such an extraordinary success. We feel extremely fortunate to have enjoyed such generous sponsorship . . . While I’m at it, I’d like to thank as well the many artists, sponsors, collaborators, donors and volunteers without whom the event would not have been possible. And Melinda Moulton for providing us with such an incomparable home base in the Lake & College Building on the waterfront. It was hard to leave such a beautiful spot when all was read and done. Our surveys indicate definitively that Seven Days played a major role in inspiring people from throughout the region to attend the festival. Our deepest thanks for helping us get the word out, and to everyone who came for making it such a magical occasion. See you in 2007! Rick Kisonak WILLISTON

BURLINGTON — Peeling lead paint poses a serious health risk to Burlington’s kids. But getting the lead out is expensive and just got more so; the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development recently turned down the city’s request for a $3 million grant to fund its residential lead-abatement efforts. And homes aren’t the only place in town where lead is a problem. Last week Burlington’s Code Enforcement Office found peeling lead paint on the exterior of the Lawrence Barnes Elementary School in the Old North End. The paint, on the trim beneath the roofline, is flaking all around the perimeter of the building. The Burlington Code Enforcement Office conducted an inspection at Barnes after being contacted by City Councilor Tim Ashe, who had been approached by a concerned parent. The city department ordered the Burlington School District to remove the paint within 30 days. The fact that the school contains lead paint was not a surprise to Chris Giard, director of property services for the Burlington School District. He says lead is an issue in all of Burlington’s schools. Leadbased paint remained in use until 1978, and is commonly found on older buildings. “We have buildings from the ’50s and earlier where we have to assume that everything is lead,” Giard explains. Deteriorating paint creates lead-saturated dust that, at low levels, can irreparably damage a child’s kidneys, brain and central nervous system, and cause developmental and behavioral disorders
such as ADHD. Ingesting large amounts of lead can cause convulsions or death. Maintaining Burlington’s leadpaint-covered surfaces is “very tricky,” says Giard, who is responsible for it. “Today things are perfect, tomorrow they can fall apart.” Last spring, Giard inspected Barnes, Flynn and Champlain Elementary Schools. He ordered new paint jobs for Flynn and Champlain, but he thought the paint at Barnes looked as if it could last another season. He believes it deteriorated because of
nance budgets.” She wishes Burlington taxpayers were willing to spend more to make the schools lead-safe. Funding is also an issue for the Burlington Lead Program. Director Graham Destakasi says the recent loss of funds could kill the initiative, although “We still want to exhaust other options before we say the program is going to shut down.” Burlington, which has the oldest housing stock in Vermont, is the only city in the state with its own lead program. It was established with a HUD grant in 2003. Since its inception, the program has inspect-

The paint does not yet appear to be falling to the ground, Giard points out. “It isn’t as if it puts kids in immediate danger,” he says. But until the paint is removed, the school is keeping students from within 10 feet of the building, and is sending a janitor out each morning to discard any fallen paint chips. Giard says crews began scraping and repriming the affected areas last weekend, and will continue the process this weekend. The effort will cost the district about $5000. Barnes Principal Paula Bowen blames the delayed repairs on “chronically underfunded mainte-
ed 123 homes and apartments, and made 70 of them lead-safe. It’s also sponsored 219 educational events, and trained more than 500 landlords and contractors in Essential Maintenance Practices. Destakasi says the program is essential — 4.3 percent of Burlington children under 6 have elevated lead levels, more than double the national average. And he believes the problem is worse than the numbers suggest — only 28 percent of kids under 6 in Burlington get tested. Burlington’s situation is alarming, but the actual number of lead-poisoned kids is low compared with larger metropolitan areas competing for grant money. Destakasi suggests that’s one reason HUD withheld funding. �

Are Brainy Burgs Like Burlington Too Smart for Their Own Good? BY ERIK ESCKILSEN

9/8/06 1:13:35 PM
VERMONT — Government and business leaders have been buzzing about the “creative economy” ever since the 2002 release of Richard Florida’s The Rise of the Creative Class. The book promotes banking on the market value of ideas over the manufacture of goods. But a 30-year study of human migration in the U.S. suggests that too much of the right stuff can go wrong — maybe even in Vermont. In “Where the Brains Are,” an article in the October 2006 issue of Atlantic Monthly, Florida observes that in “means metros” where highly skilled workers cluster, housing costs rise disproportionately, squeezing out less skilled workers and creating a cycle that can critically alter a region’s class character. Florida, a public-policy professor at George Mason University, doesn’t mention Burlington in his Atlantic report, though in an earlier index the city rated first among “most creative metro areas” with populations under 250,000. Like the means metros, Burlington is “beautiful, energizing, and fun to live in,” as Florida describes them. It’s also awash with college-degree holders — 42 percent of residents 25 years and older, as compared with the national average of 24.4 percent, according to statistics gleaned from Burlington’s Community and Economic Development (CEDO) website. The clustering of highly educated people, Florida’s article notes, is a boon to economic growth, particularly in a postindustrial economy driven by creativity, intellectual property and high-tech innovation. The downside: Highly skilled entrepreneurial types
have less need to live and work alongside unskilled and moderately skilled workers; those jobs are ripe for outsourcing. And, as highly skilled, highly educated people attract more of the same to a small area, competition in the housing and job markets pinches middle-class workers the hardest. As Florida puts it, “The more smart people, and the denser the connections between them, the faster it all goes.” City officials are aware of the need to promote economic development and attract talented people while not squeezing anyone out in the process. According to Brian Pine, CEDO assistant director of housing and neighborhood revitalization, the effort involves creating livable-wage and “career-ladder” jobs, as well as offering a range of housing options. “We don’t focus on just the lowest rung of the ladder,” he says. “But we want to make sure that rung of the ladder is sturdy so people can move up.” To give a leg up, creative economy proponents are still invested in nurturing entrepreneurial opportunities that will benefit citizens with various levels of skills and means. They’re looking to the state’s institutions of higher education to help make that happen. State senator and entrepreneur Hinda Miller points to initiatives such as Champlain College’s BYOBiz program and the Vermont Center for Emerging Technologies at the University of Vermont as tickets to ride into the new economy. “We have the history and the intention of invention,” Miller says. “It’s very much a part of how we’ve always created jobs.” �

FREE SPEECH
Scholar Who Calls Anti-Semitism the “Jewish Race Card” to Speak at UVM BY KEN PICARD
BURLINGTON — Norman Finkelstein contends that the crucial dimensions of the IsraeliPalestinian conflict are relatively simple, with few, if any, historical facts worthy of scholarly debate. In recent years, he claims, the charge of anti-Semitism is often used to deflect criticism of Israel’s human rights abuses. And, he adds, the Holocaust, though a colossally horrific event of the 20th century, doesn’t deserve the rarefied moral status Western historians have assigned it. Such statements would be considered highly incendiary coming from anyone in the academic world — let alone a Jewish professor of political science and the son of Holocaust survivors. But this weekend, Finkelstein, who teaches at DePaul University in Chicago, brings his controversial message to the University of Vermont. He’s expected to receive a vociferous reception, from supporters and opponents alike. Finkelstein, 52, is the author of five books on Israel, Palestine, anti-Semitism and the Holocaust. His upcoming lecture is based on his most recent book, Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of AntiSemitism and the Abuse of History. In it, Finkelstein asserts that, were it not for Israel’s strategic importance to the United States and the political influence exerted by American Jews, the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians could easily be resolved legally and diplomatically. Finkelstein also argues that the Jewish State is held to a different moral standard internationally, which has enabled it to avoid the economic and military sanctions that have been imposed on other countries with similar human rights records. Finally, he contends that anyone who criticizes Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians is automatically condemned as anti-Semitic, a move he describes as akin to playing “the Jewish race card.” Finkelstein’s talk is being sponsored by several on- and offcampus groups, including PeaceVermont, Vermonters for a Just Peace in Palestine–Israel, and the Will Miller Social Justice Lecture Series. It has outraged some local Jews and supporters of Israel. Rabbi James Glazier of Temple Sinai in South Burlington says he doesn’t know Finkelstein personally, nor has he read his books. However, based on research on Finkelstein and response to his talks on other campuses, he’s “saddened” that such an inflammatory speaker would be invited to UVM, especially in a forum that doesn’t allow for the airing of countervailing views. “One of his claims is that the Jewish community uses the Holocaust to beat people over the head,” Glazier says. “But then he uses the expression, ‘Israel, the Fourth Reich.’ Now, who’s using the Holocaust there? Does he mean that Israel has become the new Nazis?” Glazier is particularly incensed at the timing of Finkelstein’s talk, which falls on the night before

Yom Kippur, the holiest and most solemn day in the Jewish year. “I’m offended at having to go out during the Holy Week, the holiest time of our year, to be in this kind of discourse,” Glazier adds. “If anything, we should be preparing ourselves for the day of atonement. This is very agitating.” Rabbi Joshua Chasan of Ohavi Zedek Synagogue in Burlington says that while he disagrees with many of Finkelstein’s “provocative” views, “A university campus is a place for free speech. I was planning on going.”
Dr. Finkelstein’s main argument,” says Scott. “It suggests that if you choose to bring a speaker who’s critical of Israel, you will expect to face all these obstacles, you will get veiled threats, and you will be expected to jump through a number of hoops. The effect is really chilling on academic freedom.” Margolis says he’s checked with other universities around the country that have hosted Finkelstein, and will provide adequate security to ensure the safety of the speaker and everyone else who attends the event.

“My concern about the UVM campus, independent of Norman Finkelstein, is that the tenor of political discussion be civil and open and that all views have an opportunity to be expressed,” Chasan says. One of the event’s organizers, Helen Scott, an associate professor of English who sits on the board of the Will Miller Lecture Series, charges that some in UVM’s administration — she couldn’t say who — have “questioned the legitimacy” of Finkelstein’s lecture. She says they have put up bureaucratic barriers, such as requiring the sponsoring groups to sign a contract for the lecture hall and to provide proof of insurance in the event there’s violence or property damage. Scott says she was told by UVM Police Chief Gary Margolis that he is “expecting trouble.” “It’s completely illustrative of
UVM spokesperson Enrique Corredera challenges the assertion that anyone’s academic freedom is being curtailed. “There’s been absolutely no effort whatsoever to prevent this speaker from coming to campus,” Corredera says. “Our involvement has been to make sure that all appropriate resources are in place to ensure a safe event.” Corredera adds that UVM is following standard protocols and is treating this event like any other speaking engagement. “That’s what we are as a university, a marketplace of ideas. We are very committed to the concepts of free speech and expression,” Corredera says. He points out that similar procedures were required for other controversial speakers on campus, including animal-rights activist and ethicist Peter Singer and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. �

NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT
Mayors Talk Peace, From Montpelier to Montpellier BY CATHY RESMER
MONTPELIER — Two years ago, Mary Hooper, the mayor of Vermont’s capital city, signed a statement calling for an end to nuclear weapons proliferation. Next week, the mayor of Montpellier, France, will sign the same statement, and Hooper will be there to cheer her on. The declaration was drafted by the Mayors for Peace Emergency Campaign to Ban Nuclear Weapons, a movement started by the mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. More than 600 mayors worldwide have signed on, calling for complete global nuclear disarmament by 2020. Hooper is traveling to France for the October 6 Montpellier signing ceremony — on her own dime — because she feels a responsibility to work harder for peace while so much of the world is engaged in armed conflict. The Vermont chapter of the American Friends Service Committee will hold a send-off concert for her at Christ Church Episcopal in Montpelier on September 30. “It’s easy to sign a declaration that says, ‘I support peace,’ or ‘I oppose nuclear weapons,’” says Hooper. “But I’ve just become more and more concerned, particularly in the past two years, that people aren’t actively talking about peace in the same way that we actively talk about war.” Hooper won’t be the only dignitary visiting the French city of nearly a quarter million; the mayor of Heidelberg, Germany, will be there, too. Heidelberg
and Montpellier are sister cities, and Hooper hopes to foster a relationship between the two European municipalities and her town of 8000. Hooper, an Army brat, already has one connection — she was born in Heidelberg. Asked what a small-town mayor can realistically do to eliminate nuclear weapons and advance world peace, Hooper is optimistic. She says she was inspired when Greg Nickels, the mayor of Seattle, launched a campaign in 2005 to combat another large, intractable problem: global warming. Incensed by the U.S. failure to adopt the Kyoto Protocols, Nickels pledged to meet the international pollution targets on a municipal level, using tools such as energy conservation and sustainable development. He went on to enlist nearly 300 U.S. mayors, including former Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle. “Obviously we can’t wait for the federal government to be talking about this,” Hooper says of the mayors’ anti-nuke campaign. “People need to be talking about it locally. If people in leadership positions — perhaps at every level, but certainly on the local level — say this is important, and we need to be paying attention to this issue, then maybe we can make a change.” �

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS
ntil this week, few of us in Vermont had ever heard of Rep. Richard Pombo of Stockton, California. Now it looks like Pombo, the chairman of the House Resources Committee, is going to be a hot issue in Vermont’s November election. Under GOP control of Congress, Rep. Pombo has thrived and steadily moved up in the leadership. He has a well-earned reputation for being what the St. Petersburg Times calls “a virulently anti-environmental congressman.” Pombo’s in the spotlight because he’s the Republican committee chairman our

Pretty snappy, too: “Jim Douglas is ignoring five years of hard work and compromise on a bill to protect Vermont’s environment, a proposal that thousands of Vermonters weighed in on. Democrats and Republicans agree that Congress should preserve Vermont’s wilderness lands, but not Jim Douglas.” Catchy, eh? The spot also noted that both The Burlington Free Press and the Rutland Herald have written editorials in recent days criticizing Gov. Jimbo big-time on this one.
A Crazy Little Ring Called Love
Republican Gov. Jim Douglas wrote last week to express his “concern” about the New England Wilderness Bill that had just passed in the U.S. Senate unanimously. The fact is, the officially expressed “concern” of a state’s Republican governor over pending federal legislation is more than enough to derail a bill when expressed to a powerful committee chair of the same party. And that’s just what happened on Capitol Hill on Monday. Hold all bets! Gov. Douglas’ opposition looks like it may be sufficient to kill the bill, something that’s gotten a lot of folks very upset. Our congressional delegation is united in their opposition to Gov. Douglas’ effort. State Sen. Ginny Lyons, chairman of the Senate Natural Resources Committee under Montpelier’s Golden Dome, is firmly with them. And the issue has given Democratic gubernatorial challenger Scudder Parker a huge opening, though it’s taken him five days to drive through it. “We’re seeing the unfortunate effects of the governor’s letter to Congressman Pombo,” said Sen. Leahy’s spokesman David Carle on Tuesday from Washington. “It is difficult enough to forge bipartisan efforts to get good things done without an effort like the governor’s to derail the Vermont part of the New England Wilderness Act. Time is short, and his intervention with Republican leaders is not helpful,” said Carle, “but the members of the Vermont delegation will continue to do what they can to get a carefully balanced Vermont bill enacted.” Good luck, eh? State Sen. Lyons weighed in as well this week, expressing her “disappointment” in

“They said his actions as governor were disturbing and overly political. In Vermont we expect more from our leaders. We should have a governor who brings us together, not divides us the way Jim Douglas does. Scudder Parker will bring Vermonters together . . .” Nice spot, but as we mentioned above, yours truly was the only reporter to show up for Candidate Parker’s 9 a.m. presser at Democratic Party Headquarters, where he played his new radio spot and took questions. The fact is, the Vermont press corps, especially at election time, is a very, very thin line. Meanwhile, Anthony Iarrapino at the Conservation Law Foundation in Montpelier goes even further. He says Gov. Jimbo is trying to have it both ways. “In the letter to Pombo,” noted Iarrapino, “Douglas claims that he supports the wilderness allocation in the Forest Plan. But before he wrote that letter,” noted Anthony, “his administration had already intervened in an appeal, siding with the appellants. The appeal objects to the small amount of actual wilderness suggested by the Forest Service. Gov. Douglas is trying to have it both ways.” Interesting. Scudder Who? — According to the recent Ch. 3 poll, when voters get to know Scudder Parker they end up feeling favorably about him by a 2-1 margin. If Parker can get the same reaction from voters who are still just getting to know him, he might surprise some people. In a Tuesday interview before his presser started, the former minister told “Inside Track” that he thinks “There’s a profound unease on the part of Vermonters about what’s happening at the federal level. Now they’re beginning to recognize that’s happening at the local level in Vermont as our institutions come under strain and, frankly, as our governor fails to provide the leadership to protect Vermonters.” For example? Parker responded quickly, citing “the underfunding of the Housing Conservation Trust Fund. And he has the nerve to proclaim he’s for affordable housing at the same time,” scoffed Scudder. “Jim Douglas has no program to promote affordable housing in this state.” Candidate Parker also cited Gov. Jimbo’s “unwillingness to fully fund Efficiency Vermont and his failure to plan for our energy future by buying the dams on the Connecticut and supporting thoughtful development of wind projects.” “I think,” said Parker, “people are beginning to put it together and to recognize that the kind of leadership Jim Douglas offers the state actually divides people rather than pulls them together to solve our problems.” Now if the Vermont press will only show up for Parker’s pressers, he might be able to get this in the mainstream Vermont press, too! Crunch time is now — the last six weeks — and Parker said his campaign strategy has always
been to save his money for the homestretch. “We will be getting the word out to everybody,” he said. Welch Zeroes In — Democrat Peter Welch, who’s held a slim 5-point lead over Republican Martha Rainville in recent polls on the congressional race, is turning up the heat on the former National Guard general with a tough new ad and the words to back it up. So far Marvelous Martha has been demonstrating the old “chain of command” mentality, refusing to call for her former boss’ replacement. That’s too bad, because everyone knows Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, the defense chief who led us to war on false and fabricated reasons, is not real popular in Vermont. Perfectly understandable. You’d think Rainville would have dumped Rummy weeks ago, eh? Candidate Welch invited reporters to Democratic HQ Monday morning (four attended) to get a preview of the TV spot. No dog in this one, folks. This is about the Iraq war. Welch doesn’t beat around the bush (pardon the pun) in the new ad. He looks right into the camera for a little heart-to-heart: “The Bush administration misled us into Iraq and it’s time to hold them accountable. Donald Rumsfeld should be fired for his incompetence. And the president should be required to tell us when our troops will come home. The Republicans running Congress will never demand that. But I will.” Welch noted that Sunday’s New York Times and Washington Post both carried front-page stories saying that a leaked U.S. government “National Intelligence Estimate” shows America’s war in Iraq has made that country a “breeding ground for terrorists” — something it wasn’t prior to the U.S. invasion in 2003. “What we have to have,” insisted Welch, “is a new direction. Donald Rumsfeld has been wrong. He was wrong in his leadership leading us into war. He has been wrong in his prosecution of the war. He’s been out of line in criticizing the critics of the war. He’s got to go.” Wonder how long Marvelous Martha can keep Rummy propped up? Boxer Day in Burlap — Packed house at Burlington City Hall over the noon hour Monday for California Sen. Barbara Boxer’s appearance on behalf of the candidacy of U.S. Senate race frontrunner Bernie Sanders, our eight-term Independent congressman. Sanders is seeking the seat being vacated by Independent U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords. Thanks to the disgusting, depressing TV ads his megabucks Republican opponent Rich Tarrant has been putting on the airwaves, Ol’ Bernardo’s Senate seat looks pretty secure. The only question is how big his landslide victory will be. We haven’t seen that big and enthusiastic a turnout for a City Hall political rally since

/PEN DAILY AMn PM s WWW GARDENERS COM
Dear Cecil, This morning as I was shaving in the shower I read the ingredients list on my can of shaving cream and was astounded to see nonoxynol-9 among the various other chemicals (stearic acid, sodium laureth sulfate, etc.). I happen to know that nonoxynol-9 is the spermicide usually applied to condoms. What’s the deal? Are millions of American men slathering their mugs every morning with spermicide? Doug Farmwald, via email I initially hazarded the guess that you were a Gillette man, since that seemed to be the most popular brand of shaving cream that had nonoxynol-9 (N-9) in it. You’re right, N-9 is used as a spermicide, but no, they don’t put it in shaving cream to ward off pregnancy caused by acts involving your beard. As it turns out, Gillette no longer puts it in at all. A spokesperson informs me that Gillette did use N-9 as a fragrance stabilizer and surfactant in some of its Foamy products, but they decided to switch to something else, formulas change all the time, no big deal. Still, you have to wonder whether there’s more to this than meets the eye. Whatever value there may be in having your fragrance stabilized, a surfactant is definitely a good thing to put in shaving cream. Generally speaking, facial hair becomes softer and easier to shave if you can get the surface of the hair wet. That’s tougher than you might think. What stands in the way is sebum, a naturally produced oil that protects the hair from moisture. To cut through the oil, you need some kind of soap — that’s mainly why we use shaving cream in the first place. N-9 is a nonionic surfactant, meaning it helps break down oils and can be readily washed away. If applied to hair, it helps eliminate the sebum and thus improves the hair’s shavability. N-9 performs other useful functions as well — or so it was once thought. In a 2004 patent for “liquid foaming shaving compositions� containing N-9, we find the applicant claiming N-9 is present for its antiviral properties. Here’s the thing, though. In the lab, N-9 kills viruses such as HIV, but as I’ve reported before, outside the lab it seems to increase the rate of infection due to its alarming tendency when used regularly to create skin lesions in certain sensitive parts of the anatomy. Gillette’s not saying why they took it out of Foamy, but given the ever-looming threat of razor burn, maybe this has something to do with it. One more thing. You may be thinking: Gosh, N-9 being a spermicide and all, maybe if I run out of condoms some evening I could find an old can of shaving cream and, you know, improvise. Forget it, buster. In a report from the World Health Organization (“WHO/CONRAD Technical Consultation on Nonoxynol-9,� October 2001), we find the following: “There is no published scientific evidence that N-9lubricated condoms provide any additional protection against pregnancy or STIs [sexually transmitted infections] compared with condoms lubricated with other products. Since adverse effects due to the addition of N-9 to condoms cannot be excluded, such condoms

should no longer be promoted. However, it is better to use N-9-lubricated condoms than no condoms.� Many condom makers accordingly have ceased using N-9 on their products, but not all — it’s on 20 percent of the prophylactics being sold today. I find that odd, because it seems clear to me the real question isn’t why N-9 is (or was) in shaving cream, but rather why it’s still on condoms. Dear Cecil, I’ve heard — and yes, I’ve seen the “CSI� episode — that you can get lead poisoning from eating chocolate grown in Africa. Supposedly this is because leaded gas is still used over there and the exhaust gets into the atmosphere and ground and then the cocoa plants. Is this really possible? And if it is, how much chocolate over how long a period of time would you have to eat to get poisoned to the point that it’s a serious health problem? Pete M., Oregon, Wisconsin Well, lead poisoning would be a stretch. But otherwise this is one of those wacko, scriptwriters-on-drugssounding stories that turns out to be true. About 70 percent of the world’s chocolate is grown in west and central Africa. The lead content of cocoa beans is low, but that of manufactured cocoa and chocolate products is among the highest of any food. How so? No one is sure, but several major cocoa bean-producing countries in Africa used leaded gasoline until recently, and a few still do. It seems likely the toxic metal is introduced at some point, probably multiple points, during cocoa bean shipping and processing. Is there enough to worry about? The Dagoba Organic Chocolate company of Ashland, Oregon, thought so — or anyway did after a little prodding from the Food and Drug Administration. Though the company wouldn’t divulge test results, it recalled 40,000 pounds of its high-end chocolate products this spring after some were found to exceed FDA standards for lead. CECIL ADAMS

mily, don’t bite Zamora — OK, honey? If you do that, she’s never going to kick you the ball.” I didn’t know the specific issue that Emily — a cherubic and determined 3year-old — was having with her pal Zamora, but I had every reason to believe they would work things out. It was Saturday, noonish, and I was relishing my weekly summer routine: hanging out in City Hall Park and lunching — breakfasting, really — on the delicious rice dish I had just purchased from the Tibetan food stand at the Burlington Farmers’ Market. Every Saturday, the park is transformed into Hippie Babyland. All the young parents shop for organic vegetables while their toddlers frolic in the grassy park. You never saw so much miniature tie-dye. When I finished I sauntered over to my vehicle at the taxi stand, where I
I took the left onto Maple Street and began the ascent up the hill to UVM. “So, Jennifer,” I began, “who do you think is currently the hottest male movie star?” “That’s easy,” she replied. “Matthew McConaughey. He’s dreeeeamy! Am I right, Annie?” “Oooh, yeah!” Annie heartily seconded the sentiment. She reached over the front seat and the two friends high-fived. “So, if you met Matthew McConaughey and he said, ‘ain’t,’” I said, “you wouldn’t think he was hot anymore?” “Yup,” Jennifer replied. “That’s the deal.” This was more than the other young man in the back could take. “Jennifer, that’s nuts. I mean, guys are, like, totally different. If Angelina Jolie was retarded, she’d still be hot.” Jennifer turned in her seat to face me.
On a sunny Saturday, I enjoy a discussion like this — something entirely trivial, as opposed to the future of Iraq or global warming. found a foursome of what looked like college students, two guys and two girls, awaiting my arrival. “You folks need a ride?” I asked, unlocking the doors. “Yeah, we’re, like, totally lazy,” one of the guys responded. “Could you take us back to the Simpson dorm?” “Absolutely,” I replied. “Jump on in. And, for what it’s worth, I don’t think you’re lazy one bit.” “Oh, sure,” one of the girls scoffed, a wry smile on her face as she got into the seat next to me. “You would feel that way, wouldn’t you?” “You got me there,” I conceded, chuckling. As we pulled into traffic, the other young woman said from the back, “Arnie, I’m telling ya — these things matter. Would you tell him, Jennifer?” This was obviously the continuation of a conversation the group had been having when I picked them up, and Jennifer leapt right in. “It’s totally true. I can’t stand it when a guy says, ‘ain’t.’ He could be the hottest man in the world, but if he uses ‘ain’t,’ it’s all over.” “That’s crazy talk, Jen,” Arnie shot back, a picture of exasperation in the rear-view mirror. “Tell her, sir,” he requested, catching my eyes and roping me into the argument. “Does this make, like, any sense to you, what she’s saying?” “Hmm,” I replied. “Let me first see if I grasp the full import of her point.” On a sunny Saturday, I enjoy a discussion like this — something entirely trivial, as opposed to the future of Iraq or global warming.
“Is that right, Mr. Cabbie? Do you agree with that?” “I wouldn’t put it exactly the way he did,” I replied. “But yeah, I guess that’s just about right. That kind of shallowness is the hallmark of my sex.” We hit Prospect Street and took the right. Students were everywhere on the greens and walkways of Redstone Campus, delighting in the brisk, latesummer weather. “Jennifer,” Annie spoke up, “tell the cabbie your theory about ‘wicked.’” “Oh, yeah,” Jennifer said. “You can say ‘wicked’ up here, but in New York they’ll think you’re an idiot.” “You mean, like, ‘wicked good’?” I asked. “Yeah, you just don’t hear that from New Yorkers.” “Yup. It’s definitely a New England thing,” I agreed. We pulled into the Redstone Campus, coming to a stop at Simpson Hall. The girls jumped out, along with one of the guys, leaving Arnie to pay the fare. “Hey — hey!” he called to them from his open door. “I ain’t gonna pay for this myself!” Jennifer strode back to the cab. “Arnie!” she admonished, straight-faced and wagging her forefinger. “Language.” �

Health officials in Santa Ana, Calif., determined that eight people who came down with a rare lung infection had eaten live sawagani crabs on a dare. “It was kind of like ‘Fear Factor,’” said Adrian Guerrero, manager of the Mission Viejo restaurant. Six to 10 weeks after downing the crabs, the victims ended up with a parasite carried by the crab that migrates from the intestines to the lungs and causes lung fluke infection, whose symptoms are coughing, diarrhea, breathing problems, abdominal pain, fever and hives. Left untreated, it can “impact the brain,” said Deanne Thompson of the Orange County Health Care Agency, who added, “Most restaurants serve them flash fried, but occasionally I guess people get it into their heads to eat them raw or live, and that’s a bad idea.”

n the fifth anniversary of September 11, I went to see Oliver Stone’s new movie, World Trade Center. I sat in the last row of the mini-cinema at the maxiplex, under the projector, trying for enough distance to take in the panorama. I expected huge images — and, because I’m a born-andbred New Yorker, huge feelings. But, notwithstanding shots of the preattack skyline, the dissolving buildings and roaring black clouds, and even of the Earth from a satellite, World Trade Center is anti-panoramic. Its focus is resolutely close-up, in both space and time. Indeed, except for a short TV clip of an impassive George W. Bush and one of a moved, and moving, New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, the single, interminable day and night the film chronicles might have transpired in Istanbul in 1999, Dresden in 1945 or Pompeii in 79 A.D. World Trade Center is about two men and two families. Port Authority cops John McGloughlin and Will Jimeno rushed into Tower 1 just as it started to come down and were trapped beneath 20 feet of concrete and steel in a collapsed elevator shaft. While they waited for an improbable rescue, their wives, children “Poli Psy� is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Judith Levine, email levine@sevendaysvt.com.
and extended families waited, nearly as impotent, in their suburban homes for news — and for the worst. Stone has been praised for leaving what Time’s Richard Schickel called his “sometimes loopy political opinions� on the cutting-room floor. New York Times critic A.O. Scott wrote, admiringly, “In the Sept. 11 of World Trade Center, feeling transcends politics.� But when the politics-and-historyobsessed Oliver Stone makes the first major film about the signal event in modern American political history and leaves out politics and history, he’s telling us something. Intentionally or not, Stone is clueing us in to the ways September 11 has been interpreted and reproduced — shot, edited and screened — for public consumption. Like American politics since Reagan, this most global of public events has been shrunk to a collection of family tragedies. And the feelings we are encouraged — even permitted — to have are private. From the first hours, the Bushies have done their best to shape the 9/11 Experience into a collective emotion. They call it “patriotism.� But patriotism does not mean, to them, participation in the public forum of democracy or defense of the nation. It means keeping our heads down and our mouths shut while the police round up “suspects� (14,000 at last

count). It means tending our own gardens while we trust a secretive, all-powerful cabal in the Oval Office to defend the “homeland” — and, of course, to “protect our children.” The chief emotion necessary for this passive consent is terror, which is produced by the War on Terror in order to justify the means of defeating it. Terror of an enemy who is allegedly everywhere, though, is a strangely private feeling: You experience it, by yourself, while
While citizenship was reduced to consumerism, loss would be translated to household economics. But if the Times was mourning each aborted life equally, the federal 9/11 Compensation Fund was calculating its value in potential future earnings. Stockbrokers were worth more than busboys, and only “real” families qualified. Not until 2003 did the fund approve a payment to the female partner of a woman killed at the Pentagon.
The feelings we are encouraged — even permitted — to have about 9/11 are private. boarding a plane or watching TV at home. It’s also a feeling antagonistic to resistance or action, which, after all, would entail leaving our fortresses and going out into the street. Who would do that when suicide bombers are lurking in every public place? Unauthorized emotions (or thoughts) that leak out are swiftly censured. The week after the attacks, Susan Sontag suggested in The New Yorker that our grief should not make us “stupid.” Precisely when they should be thinking self-critically about why the U.S. is despised by much of the world, she wrote, our public officials set themselves the opposite task: national “confidencebuilding and grief management.” Politics — “which entails disagreement, which promotes candor — has been replaced by psychotherapy.” Perhaps psychotherapy was the wrong word. Sedation is more like it. Or civil commitment. Sontag was roundly denounced as a wingnut, even a terrorist sympathizer. How were we to feel about the September 11 victims? We were not only to pity but to admire them. Within days they were “heroes,” within weeks nearly saints. The Times ran a series of mini-eulogies. Each subject was good, each beloved. The sexist brats on the trading floor were rewritten as fun-loving scamps; the boring accountants ran quiet and deep. Every Little League coach deserved to be admitted to the Hall of Parental Fame. And what could we do to demonstrate our solidarity? Our leaders offered the most private, inward, “family-centered” of acts: Go shopping!
As things are going, we may be unable even to remember collectively. At Ground Zero, the monument is hopelessly tangled in the domestic squabbles of the 9/11 Families. Intended as a place of public remembrance, it will be a vast family cemetery plot. And now comes World Trade Center the film, the first serious popular-culture eulogy. Should we be surprised that it is not about terrorism or even terror, but about specific, personal fear? Not about ideology or religion (though Jesus makes an appearance, looking like a large halogen bulb shining in the viewer’s eyes), nor about capitalism, militarism or patriotism? Not about the world, the United States or even, really, New York City? Like the official story of 9/11, the film is about faith in family and fidelity in love, especially marital love. About to succumb to death, Officer McLoughlin is saved by a vision of his wife, floating above him, sexily nagging him to finish the kitchen renovation. I watched World Trade Center alone in an empty theater. I cringed each time the rubble rained down on the buried men, shook with frustration when the families were given false information, wept when they were reunited. Then I emerged into an empty lobby and onto the treeless Maple Tree Place mall. As if a neutron bomb had dropped, there was no trace of human life except for the chain stores and restaurants. But I didn’t feel like shopping, or even talking to a waiter to give him my order. I had had a satisfying consumer experience. I had “felt” 9/11 — in private. �

ith his oversized briefcase, boundless energy and mile-a-minute banter, Gordon Hay could be an old-fashioned door-to-door salesman. He proclaims that his product can provide happiness, improve performance and even save marriages. Hay also spews phrases such as “You can learn how to control your destiny� and “This will just take five minutes.� This would be enough to make me politely shut the door and retreat to my living room. Except we’re not at my house — we’re at the Shelburne Road Starbucks, where Hay’s venti coffee is growing cold as he talks. He has ripped off his shoes and socks and rolled up his pant legs, and now he stands blocking the nearest exit, where customers are doing double takes. I’m cornered; there’s no way to escape this sales pitch. But then, his product seems pretty darn interesting. Hay is the founder of Aline, a new footmeasuring system and line of foot beds whose origins go back to his early days of skiing at Stowe. (He won’t divulge his age, but he seems to be fortysomething.) After 20 years in the boot-fitting industry, Hay says he’s developed a product that will improve the experience of fellow outdoor athletes everywhere. For everyone from golfers hitting the links before the snow flies, to hikers headed out to climb Mount Mansfield, to free skiers training to huck cliffs this winter, Aline is designed to keep feet happy — and high-performing — in rigid footwear. Since Aline launched last January, some 250 athletic and outdoor stores in the United States and New Zealand have started using the system and selling the foot beds. “People are just blown away,� says Matt Manser of the Ski Rack in Burlington, which uses Aline to equip hikers, cyclists, “Fit to Live� is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Sarah Tuff, email tuff@sevendaysvt.com.
skiers and snowboarders. “What used to take two weeks to solve now takes five minutes.� Aline is based in Massachusetts, with a satellite “office� at Hay’s cabin near Stowe. It offers two components. The first, for retailers, is a rectangular foot-measuring platform, about the size of a breakfast tray, that’s fitted with small sliding metal levers and posts and graphics depicting the left and right foot. It loosely resembles the Brannock Device, the nearly 80-year-old doohickey we’ve all seen in shoe stores. “The Brannock was great for the 1920s, back when smoking was considered good for you,� says Hay. He explains that the oldfashioned tool fails to measure the foot from a multidirectional standpoint and offers little feedback on how the foot is lined up with the knee. As anyone who’s torn an anterior cruciate ligament — a common ski injury — can attest, improper alignment can do more than screw up performance. It could wreck an entire season, or even a lifetime, of skiing. On a smaller scale, Hay says, poor alignment causes pain to boot-clad people, which leads to misery on hiking trails and ski slopes, often inciting flare-ups between couples. (That’s where the saving-marriages part comes in.) The Aline device measures not only length and width but also alignment. Hay demonstrates by placing his right foot on the measurer and locking it in with a tab that slides between the big and second toes. Though he’s standing up straight, his ankle is hitting one of the posts. Clearly, his alignment is off. But the measuring gets even niftier. Hay reaches down and flips on a laser mounted to the platform. The beam shoots up his foot and leg . . . nowhere near the center of the knee. It’s a red light, literally, signaling that something is wrong. Creativity has long been essential in getting rigid footwear to fit properly. Olympian Bode Miller once shoved PowerBars in his boots. Hay says he’s seen skiers wedge

crisscrossed with reinforced ribs, which customers can slip in any type of athletic shoe or boot. It feels both more pliable than an orthotic a podiatrist might prescribe, and more durable than its sports-oriented competitors, such as Superfeet. And at $50 a pair, the Aline foot bed is also less expensive than many other solutions. The Aline measuring system uses letters to correspond to the range of available foot beds, which are further adjustable with tiny plastic pegs that add millimeters of height. Hay slips one of the foot beds he’s brought to Starbucks under his right foot, then steps back on the measuring device. The pay-off is immediately visible. His ankle rests between the two posts; the laser shoots straight up the center of his foot and shin, bisecting the knee. Such proper foot and ankle alignment, Hay claims, provides maximum control and power to cyclists, comfort and backpack-carrying capacity to hikers, swing accuracy to golfers and stability and multiple-axis power transfer to snowboarders. He estimates that Aline can help 90 percent of hikers, golfers, skiers and riders, and 75 percent of cyclists. Even so, do outdoor enthusiasts really need another product to slip inside their shoes? According to the National Shoe Retailers Association, there are now more than 800 types of prefabricated inserts on store shelves — double the number there were in 2000. Hay fits me with a pair

Improper alignment can do more than screw up performance. It could wreck an entire season, or even a lifetime, of skiing. Hay graduated to using foam, cork and glue to fit both worldclass and amateur athletes, who tracked him down to take advantage of his expertise. The ski-bum life, he admits, took a toll on the consistency of his custom fittings. “I can promise you that on a Sunday morning, after a good ski boot fitter has been out all night at Killington, chasing women and snowflakes — my old world — well, the heck if the boot I fit that morning is the same as on a Wednesday morning.” Through Aline’s predecessor, SoleSystems, Hay researched how high-tech suspension technology might be used to deliver a more consistent, readily available product. Then he cobbled together a design with engineer Keith Orr, who has developed equipment for orthopedic surgeons and helped produce DMX technology for Reebok. The result is the new company’s second component: a flexible clear, light-blue plastic foot bed
of Alines so I can see for myself how his product differs. But as I’m nearly seven months pregnant and have a predilection for falling from bikes and on hiking trails, I can’t exactly test the theories right now. I’m hanging on to them for this winter, though. Hay gives me a slew of testimonials from pro athletes, who keep using the phrase “blown away.” Matt Manser at the Ski Rack is so convinced that Aline works, he offers a guaranteed fit for the life of a ski boot for those who buy the foot beds. As for Hay, he’s off to spread the message of proper foot and ankle alignment. Compared with the venues where he plans to sell his wares, Starbucks is small potatoes. “Our mission is to change the entire shoe industry, by letting people be aware of their daily footwear needs and letting them actually have solutions to those needs,” he says. “I hope to be on Oprah.”� 3x9-VTCares092706.indd 1

Doing the Wright Thing Vermont’s Copeland Furniture looks to the future with an iconic architect’s historic designs
R STORY
KEVIN J. KELLEY The 3rd Annual Vermont Fine Furniture & Woodworking Festival is September 30, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., and October 1, 11 a.m. - 4 p.m., at Union Arena, Woodstock, Vermont. $5/10 family. Activities at the adjacent Marsh-BillingsRockefeller National Historical Park are free. Info, 234-6704 or www.vermont wood.com.

egular VPR listeners probably have at least a subliminal awareness of the Copeland Furniture Company, based in Bradford — its underwriting blurbs air frequently. But the company is about to become a familiar brand name beyond the state as well. The manufacturer will soon distribute, to top-of-the-line dealers all over the country, some of the 1000 tables, chairs, beds and dressers designed by pre-eminent American architect Frank Lloyd Wright (18671959). Copeland has secured an exclusive licensing arrangement with the foundation Wright established in 1940 to safeguard his aesthetic legacy. “When we heard they were shopping for a new licensee, we snapped onto them like a puppy grabbing somebody’s pants leg,” says Tim Copeland, founder and president of the company. “We couldn’t pass up the chance to build products designed by the undisputed master of furniture design in this country.” Gaining the rights to Wright’s work may prove a monumental coup. “It could be very, very big for us,” Copeland says, though he is waiting to see how the market actually develops before moving to expand production capacity. Wright Foundation officials approached his 30-year-old firm because of its reputation for “quality
recent interview in his unembellished office close to the factory floor. “We’re about the only firm stubborn enough to continue manufacturing in the U.S.” The business has also stayed on the western side of the Connecticut River even though operating expenses would be cheaper in tax-averse New Hampshire. It’s “habit,” mainly, that keeps Copeland in Vermont, its owner says, noting, “It’d cost us millions of dollars to move across the river.” There’s also the Vermont cachet to consider. The state’s association with authenticity and quality craftsmanship is “something we of course want to identify with,” Copeland adds. Officials of Bradford, a generally ungentrified town of fewer than 3000 residents, are surely pleased that Copeland hasn’t gone elsewhere. The company maintains a 100-strong workforce, and ranks among the top taxpayers in Orange County. It also attracts both drive-by browsers and destinationfocused buyers to its two-story retail outlet about a half-mile from the factory. Copeland himself has lived in Bradford for 35 years. He and his wife have raised four children, each a graduate of the town’s Oxbow High School. “It’s been a good place to bring up a family. I wouldn’t want to have done it anywhere else,” he says.

and value,” Copeland recounts. The Upper Valley factory also happens to be one of the last in the United States turning out high-end furniture. Copeland’s rootsy identity was among the foundation’s considerations in choosing a successor to an Italian firm that had been licensed to reproduce works by a quintessentially American designer. “Most operations of any size have curtailed their U.S. operations and gone overseas,” Copeland notes during a
A native of the Chicago area, Copeland was part of the hippie-era flatlander exodus to Vermont, making his way to Bradford mostly by happenstance. He worked initially in a local lumber yard and “fell into design” by building cider presses for Garden Way, a Charlotte, Vermont, company that was the era’s emblematic maker and distributor of products for sustainable living. Copeland soon segued into building tables and other types of furniture. He grew successful enough to open a factory in 1984, which has since expanded into a 129,000-square-foot space filled with the hum and clank of heavy machinery and the scents of sawn wood and finishes. The northern hardwoods Copeland Furniture uses for its own line of contemporary pieces conform to harvesting standards promulgated by the Forest Stewardship Council. The lumber comes from stands in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. The company’s environmentalist ethos squares with the “organic architecture” that Wright pioneered and practiced. The homes he designed made use of natural materials indigenous to
the interiors of which are meant to harmonize with the natural environment. Wright had the sort of eccentric temperament and empathetic worldview that would likely have made him feel at home in Vermont. But so far as is known, Copeland says, Wright never set foot in the state during his 70-year career. He did build a couple of homes in Manchester, N.H. — one of which is open to public view. Zimmerman House, completed in 1950 and maintained by the Currier Museum of Art, is representative of the practical, elegant and inexpensive residential architecture that Wright dubbed “Usonian.” The Prairie Style, for which the Wisconsin-born architect is best known, features the expansive horizontal lines of his native Midwest, as well as jutting verticals abstracted from the crops and trees that thrust up from the heartland. Copeland’s office contains a couple of examples of Wright’s classic barrel chairs that are among the initial pieces the company is manufacturing under its contract with the Arizona-based foundation. Their staved shape and cherrywood material are combined into a sim-
the tabletop to extend over the edges and down the sides of the piece. Grain definition in Wright furniture made of white oak is also emphasized by means of a “quartersawn” technique that reveals the wood’s ray-fleck pattern. Laborintensive hand rubbing of furniture finishes further accentuates the graininess of Wright’s designs. Copeland Furniture uses only catalyzed lacquer finishes that withstand stains and impart a mellow patina to a piece as it ages. A few of Copeland’s initial offerings in its Frank Lloyd Wright line will be featured at the Vermont Fine Furniture and Woodworking Festival taking place this weekend in Woodstock. The company says its deal with the Wright Foundation was clinched in part because of Copeland’s commitment to “achieve price points allowing all generations to own Mr. Wright’s furniture designs and to be able to integrate them into their own individual décor.” Whether that’s actually the case depends more on the economic than the generational niche a potential buyer occupies. A barrel chair sells for $1000, a dining table for $5500 and a full dining room set for $25,000. m

Photographer Dan Higgins documents Winooski’s many layers You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, as the old adage goes. But for longtime Winooski photographer Dan Higgins, the sweetest bait of all is often an onion. Above and beyond the many careers he helped launch during his 34 years of teaching at the University of Vermont, Higgins has gained a certain local notoriety for the scores of portraits he’s created of his fellow Winooski residents. In nearly every one, his subjects are holding the symbol of the city of Winooski. Raw, sharp and multilayered, an onion can be bitter or sweet — a fitting metaphor for Higgins’ adopted city, which has a long and sometimes tear-provoking history of sloughing off its desiccated outer layers in a continual quest to re-create itself. Higgins’ photographs do not depict the grand, majestic vistas captured by Ansel Adams, or even the bucolic quietude of rural Vermont. For 37 years, he’s been focusing his lens on the workaday people of Winooski and the seemingly mundane places where they congregate: Camie’s Shoe Shine Parlor, which once doubled as a bootleg clubhouse; the smoke-filled bingo parlor in Corporation Hall, where Winooski-ites used to gather with their Tupperware containers full of marker chips and their favorite good-luck charms; and the American Rest, once a popular downtown eatery that, for a brief stint after it closed in 1976, transmogrified into an artists’ enclave. It, too, eventually fell victim to the wrecking ball of urban renewal, a process Higgins has captured on film. Even more than the changing face of the Onion City, Higgins has documented its changing faces: the shiny, bald pate and sausage-like fingers of Bernie, a Winooski barber; the quiet, leathery intensity of Dominic Franzi hard at work in his cobbler shop; the mop-haired patrons of Sloppy’s Corner Pub. For years, Higgins was also the unofficial documentarian of local costume-clad Halloween revelers. In more recent years, Higgins has turned his photographer’s gaze on Winooski’s newest arrivals — the immigrant families who have come to the city with the help of the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program. They have been lured to his

Taking a picture kind of suggests you’re a thief. I want people to be actively participating in the making of the image. DAN HIGGINS lens by the absurd appeal of the onion, agreeing to be photographed in their homes or businesses surrounded by worldly possessions from their countries, both old and new. Higgins’ portraits, once viewable by the public only in the windows of Winooski’s downtown storefronts, are now available to a much wider audience with the recent collection, Vacancy, Art & Transformation: Winooski 1969–2005, which Higgins published himself. Like much of Higgins’ photographic career, this book appears to be more about creating community than personal gain. If the book is well received, he hopes to offer it to local community groups as a fundraising tool. Higgins lives above his studio in a converted garage adjacent to Papa Frank’s Italian Restaurant on West Center Street. Like the town he’s spent decades recording on film, his home has a rich social past. For years, it was the site of the first Returning Veterans of America Hall, a social club and drinking establishment set up by World War II vets. Later, an Essex manufacturing firm bought the building and turned it into a seamstresses’ sweatshop. Today the modest, two-story walkup still has the original windows, doors and plumbing fixtures Higgins scavenged from the old Winooski Block building several streets away, just before it was gutted and subdivided in the late 1970s.
Higgins, 64, is a gentle, contemplative man with short, silver hair, round glasses and a disarming nature. Seated in his living room beneath a lifesized wooden Buddha, he bears a striking resemblance to writer and actor Buck Henry. Higgins’ gaze isn’t intense so much as it is focused. You get the sense that he’s not scrutinizing you but taking you in, like an open shutter gathering as much information as time allows. Higgins doesn’t “take” people’s pictures; he “makes” them. The distinction is more than semantic hairsplitting, but it speaks to his approach to the process. For Higgins, photography is a two-way street. First, he and his subjects choose the setting and create the scene. Afterwards, he returns with the developed prints and solicits his subjects’ comments and feedback. “Taking a picture kind of suggests you’re a thief. I want people to be actively participating in the making of the image,” Higgins explains. “In many ways, what’s interesting to me aren’t the photographs per se, but what the dialogue is, the stories I’m able to hear by getting into somebody’s home.”
Higgins grew up on the outskirts of Detroit and attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. He earned his undergraduate degree in anthropology and an MFA in printmaking and photography. He had trouble finding acceptance at
Michigan for his style of photography, he admits. Back then, “visual anthropology” wasn’t yet accepted as a legitimate social science. Higgins eventually took a job in Toledo, Ohio, working on a field crew surveying potential archeological sites. One way to discover really old sites, he explains, was to work through the more recent past. To do that, he’d visit local bars, buy people drinks and ask them about the area. But soon Higgins discovered that his photography could be an even more effective anthropological tool for probing the past. He would fly over a town in an airplane, shoot an aerial photograph, enlarge it, and then hang around some of the local establishments. “I could go anywhere — the laundromat, a bar, a restaurant — and if I put that picture out, it was like a magnet. It drew people over,” Higgins recalls. “They wanted to tell me what the picture was all about. All this stuff would come pouring out.” Higgins came to Winooski in August 1969 through an odd turn of events. He was on his way to Woodstock — the music festival, not the Vermont town — when, upon hearing reports on the radio about all the traffic, lines and mud, he decided he didn’t like crowds. He detoured to Burlington to visit a friend from Ann Arbor — Bill Davison, with whom he’d gone to school at Michigan. >> 30A

Davison soon helped Higgins land his first job in Vermont, teaching traditional printmaking in UVM’s art department. Higgins would later set up the university’s first photography program, largely through the urging of his students. In those years, Winooski was still a depressed city, with bars on every corner and plenty of cheap, vacant space left over from its 19th-century heyday as a mill town. Shortly after his arrival in Vermont, Higgins drove across the bridge from Burlington, parked his car, and wandered into a pub. He was astonished by the reception he got. Unlike in other blue-collar bars around the country, where in the late ’60s a young man with long hair typically would be greeted with contempt and even hostility, Higgins was soon on a first-name basis with most of the patrons. He moved into a third-floor apartment in the Winooski Block, and has lived in the city ever since. The onion motif began as more than a gimmick, he explains. It was a comical and non-threatening way for him to connect with local residents. Higgins’ first onion portrait was of the stubbly, Lincoln-esque
tured each day. Eventually, Higgins became known as “that guy who takes pictures of people holding an onion,” and still others starting asking to be photographed. “All the firemen, all the nuns, all the garbage men, all the senators, everybody was included in this,” says Jane Kramer, a Burlington-based ceramic artist and Higgins’ longtime girlfriend, who assisted with many of those early portraits. “No social barriers existed.” Some portraits took just a few minutes to shoot and were done right on the street. Others were more time-consuming, Higgins recalls, such as one of an elderly woman who asked for his help selecting just the right necklace to wear. The refugee portraits take even longer, sometimes a week or more. “The families really put a lot of thought into it,” Higgins says. “And they kind of want some coaxing, too.” Higgins seems intrigued by people, and his camera is merely a vehicle for reaching out to them. Bill Davison, his friend and former colleague at UVM, recalls how one year he and Higgins set up a booth at the Champlain Valley Fair, using hats, props and a portable set. “I don’t know if
Where do people get a cup of coffee? Where do they shop for food? Who cuts their hair and washes their dishes? At first, some of the locals were understandably skeptical, though a few allowed him to make their portraits. The following year, Higgins returned to Puerto Cabezas and displayed his photos in a local community center, where he was approached by a group of women. “They said, ‘We’re very important. We do the laundry in the hospital,’” Higgins recalls. “So I said, ‘Yes, you are important.’” Those pictures are featured in his first book, Sister City: Side by Side, a 1988 photo collection in which the two cities’ various institutions — city hall, coffee shops, the local laundries — are juxtaposed on opposing pages. In an odd coincidence, the barber in Burlington and the barber in Puerto Cabezas are wearing the same, striped polo shirt.
Dan ever collected money or not. It was just an excuse for him to get into the fair,” Davison recalls. “He was intrigued by the Champlain Valley Fair because it had all sorts of different people, and he loved that.” In the 1980s, with much of the international news focused on the civil war in Nicaragua, Higgins decided he wanted to counter the nearly ubiquitous imagery of bombing and bloodshed by visiting Burlington’s Nicaraguan sister city of Puerto Cabezas. Just as he had documented Winooski’s favorite local haunts, Higgins decided to do a parallel comparison of the two cities’ social institutions, with no mention whatsoever of the war:
an “art photographer,” either. “Nah! People don’t buy my pictures! They’re not the kind of things people want to put up on a wall,” he admits. “My pictures are more about social documentation.” Sabin Gratz, a local commercial photographer who studied under Higgins at UVM in the mid1990s, says he took every class that Higgins offered. He describes his former professor and mentor as “an anthropological photographer.” “I don’t think he cares about selling,” Gratz says. “He’s more interested in going in, taking some pictures, and getting to know people and what they’re all about. He’s very low-ego.” But Higgins doubts whether his work would even be accepted
It’s easy to appreciate the technique and skill that goes into Higgins’ work. Categorizing it is another matter. Higgins is neither a photojournalist nor a commercial photographer. And though his portraits are clearly artistic, Higgins doesn’t consider himself

“Jake the Snake,” a stoic, weathered character known around town as the neighborhood prankster. (His portrait is featured on the cover of Higgins’ new book.) “A town, if it has any kind of heart to it, has some sort of wizard somewhere, someone everybody knows but who’s silent and inscrutable,” Higgins explains. “Jake was that trickster. He was a guy who really got into the whole ritual of making a picture.” Initially, some of the locals were wary. But soon, Higgins was posting the onion portraits in the windows of the American Rest and other Winooski establishments. Residents would come downtown to see who was fea-

because of his focus on the city itself, as well as his dedication to living there and creating crosscultural events,” she says. “In fact, the only official acknowledgment of an artist in Winooski that I know of is when Bill Norful was mayor and gave Dan a key to the city. But I’d say Dan is the key to Winooski!” Winooski’s current mayor, Clem Bissonnette, agrees. He says Higgins’ photos are perhaps the best extant visual record of Winooski’s experiment with urban renewal. “Dan got around a lot and he captured, in my estimation, the lifestyle and history of what we’ve been through,” Bissonnette says. “He’s done some really nice work.” Ironically, the Winooski Historical Society told Higgins that it couldn’t support his current book project, calling it more art than history. Higgins was unfazed. “I’m always in a hybrid situation — which I like.” Ultimately, it doesn’t matter how his pictures are categorized. What’s beyond question is that Higgins’ goal is to make visual images accessible to everyone. According to Kramer, he was instrumental in getting the first community-access television channel set up in Chittenden County. Back in the 1980s, when Henry Cleaves, longtime owner of the popular Winooski restaurant Henry’s Café (now the site of Papa Frank’s), sold his place, Higgins purchased all his furniture — booths, tables, chairs, even the “Henry’s Café” sign — and set up a “video café” in his garage, where people could sit and chat on camera. One night, he threw a huge party and invited UVM professors, students and other Winooski residents who used to frequent the restaurant.
locals speak English or Creole. Higgins visited there in 2000 and got involved in a project to interview the native Miskito Indians. He realized that, despite the informative interviews being conducted, no one was documenting these people on video. Upon returning to Vermont, Higgins asked community access Channel 17 to donate an old VHS editing deck, which he brought back to Nicaragua, where he arranged for a local radio station to run an ad inviting people to learn how to shoot video. Eighteen people eventually signed up, including several Miskito Indians. Higgins taught them to use the equipment, and even made a deal with a local cable TV company to open a channel for the locally produced videos. Higgins still goes back to Nicaragua each year, for a period of two weeks to three months, and teaches video and visual anthropology to the locals, many of whom had no prior visual literacy. “To see your own grandmother interviewed on the steps of her house is a totally different trip than watching CNN,” he notes. However, Higgins is still grounded in Winooski. In fact, his new book includes photos of the recent redevelopment downtown — he took one image a day for a year and a half, and the shots will be used in a video he’s currently working on. But in light of the many changes Higgins has witnessed over the last 37 years, he questions the impact this project will have on his community. He wonders if this Winooski, unlike that of earlier generations, will be able to find its center, whether it will have a community hang-out like Henry’s Café, where Winooski’s motley assortment of characters will come into focus. �

In the old days, curious doctors weighed male and female brains, found that men’s were bigger, and left it at that — their prejudices confirmed. men as uncommunicative, football-worshipping cavemen. Economist Lawrence Summers resigned the presidency of Harvard last year after he sparked a furor by suggesting that women might be underrepresented in science because their brains are wired for nurturing, not nuclear physics. Can a look inside the brain confirm our preconceptions about gender — or shatter them? Forehand reveals that it’s far from that simple. The results of two large National

Institute of Health studies published in 2001 confirm that sex differences in human beings are real and pervasive. But it’s not easy to connect clear differences in brain structure or chemistry with subtler differences in intelligence or behavior. “When you’re asking how something alters behavior, it depends on how you ask the question,” Forehand says.

Take the issue of brain size — does it matter? “You hear about men’s brains being bigger, which is true,� Forehand says. “But it turns out, if you look at the cortex, in a lot of areas in the female brain, the cells are more packed in; there are actually more cells. There’s some very specific regions, often associated with language, that have more cells in the female brain.� There are consistent size differences among parts of the brain, too. The hippocampus, which is involved in learning and memory, tends to be larger in women; the amygdala, which plays some role in processing emotional reactions, is generally larger in men. The corpus callosum, which connects the brain’s two hemispheres, has some areas, “probably associated with language function, where females have a relatively larger connection than males,� Forehand says. But function is just as important as size. For instance, a study found that men respond to emotional stimuli with the right side of their amygdalae, women with their left. “You might have some-

the time when people wanted to believe that all differences were from social pressures,� she says. “It’s just not true. Male and female brains are different. If you don’t give your boys guns, they will turn sticks into guns. If you don’t give your daughters dolls, on average, your daughters will make babies out of other things. The question is: Do those differences reflect innate ability, or do they reflect environmental niches that we have grown up in, as a species? I think it’s more likely the latter.� Forehand points to changes over time in how the sexes act: “Because work is no longer all hard labor, women do a lot more work than they did in generations before.� She also doesn’t discount the influence of social bias in keeping women out of fields like math and the sciences. Forehand cites the example of Ben Barres, a neuroscientist who had a sex change and wrote about being treated differently in his new identity as a man. “He’d been a neuroscientist throughout his sex change operation, always working in the same area. He gave a semi-

thing bigger, but it might not function any differently, or something the same size functions entirely differently,� Forehand points out. “There are so many data points.� Sex differences start in the womb. If you have an XX chromosome pair — the “default body� — you become female, Forehand explains. “If you have a Y chromosome, you make that default body into a male. That means you can make gonads.� From gonads come sex hormones, which “make the rest of the secondary sex characteristics, including the brain.� The process isn’t over, though. Sex hormones are active soon after birth, and again — as we all know too well — during puberty and adolescence. “It’s critical when you look,� Forehand says. For instance, take the fraught issue of girls and mathematics. Through seventh or eighth grade, “they don’t learn that differently,� Forehand says. Only at about age 14 do boys pull ahead in numbers, while girls tend to outperform them in verbal tasks. What’s to blame for girls’ math setback in puberty — estrogen or social expectations? Forehand believes it’s both. “I think you have to step back from
nar, and he heard somebody in the hallway say something about how that was a really fantastic seminar, and it was amazing how much better his work was than his sister’s,� she says. The “sister� was pre-op Barres. Neuroscience, being a fairly young specialty — the term was coined in 1975 — may actually be less biased than others. Forehand says she feels lucky to be in a field that “grew up after the realization that women could be major contributors to science.� One of the problems with mapping brain anatomy directly onto sex roles is that it’s hard to see inside the working brain. The classic approach is to study rats, manipulating their brains in various ways and then watching how the changes affect their behavior. “But rats are still not people,� Forehand says. That obstacle is being overcome through imaging. Using new techniques like functional magnetic resonance imaging, scientists can see which parts of your brain you’re using when you respond to a visual stimulus or remember something that makes you emotional. Another technique, positron emission tomography, uses a radioactive tracer to reveal the distribution of different
4x5-VTCollege092706
chemicals in the brain. These studies have shown, for instance, that men synthesize the neurotransmitter serotonin more quickly than women. Serotonin depletion is thought to be the major factor in clinical depression. And who suffers disproportionately from depression? Women. This example shows how useful sexand-the-brain studies can be to the practice of medicine. Since the 2001 NIH studies, “The Heart Association has been really good at getting the public to recognize that females feel heart attacks completely differently from men,” Forehand says. “But all medicine is like that. A lot of mental illnesses are sexually dimorphic” — that is, they play out differently in the two sexes. “So we’re really interested in looking at, how does your sex affect how you handle diseases?” Understanding the sex-specific factors in disease could improve both diagnosis and treatment. So why has it taken us so long to start studying them? “It wasn’t that long ago that all the research subjects at NIH were 70-kilogram males — white males at that,” Forehand points out. Fearful of inadvertently harming a fetus, scientists used to exclude women of childbearing age from their studies. “That’s changed dramatically, though it’s been slow,” Forehand says. “Two-thousand-one seems pretty late to me to finally say we’ve done this study and sex matters.” Even the quirky gynandromorph can contribute something to our understanding of sex and the human brain. Despite being split down the middle, the bird has hormones of both types circulating throughout its body. Its “mosaic” appearance suggests that factors besides hormones contribute to sex expression. Forehand speculates that those other factors might help account for human transsexualism, in which a person with all the anatomy and hormones of one sex nonetheless feels as if he or she belongs on the other side of the divide. Fascinating as brain science is in its complexity, it tempts people to ask simple questions. Will studies of the brain give girls an excuse for chatting on the phone instead of tackling their calculus homework? Or guys a justification for playing video games instead of “talking about the relationship”? Forehand doesn’t think so. “You have an entire repertoire of behaviors that are based on your genotype and your relationship with the environment from the time you were born,” she points out. Some factors, like your IQ, may be a lot more empowering or limiting than any sexual characteristic. As for the pop psychology of Mars and Venus, that’s all well and good, she suggests — as “cocktail party conversation.” �

Posting Truth to Power Blogger Steve Benen is quietly rising in the punditocracy
L
ooking for the latest update on midterm poll numbers or a trenchant analysis of the Bush administration’s scandal du jour? Try “The Carpetbagger Report.” It’s gotten the attention of STORY John Kerry and the Clintons. CATHY Steve Benen’s incisive and increasingly RESMER popular political blog summarizes and dissects national news from a partisan, libIMAGE eral perspective. On Sunday, September MATTHEW 24, for example, while much of America THORSEN was at church, Benen was sitting in front of his computer, writing about George Visit Steve Benen’s Bush’s most recent talk-show appearance. blog at www. Even before CNN had posted the carpetbagger show’s transcript, he was weighing in. report.com Benan wrote, “George W. Bush appeared on ‘Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer’ this afternoon and made one of those stunning remarks that could — or rather, should — become a political problem for the White House.” Though the 33-year-old writer draws much of his content from inside the Washington, D.C., Beltway, Benen works from home on a quiet suburban street in Essex Junction. Location isn’t holding him back; in the digital age, it doesn’t matter where he plugs in his laptop. As the 2006 elections heat up, this prolific political scribe is hitting his stride, making his living writing for tens, sometimes hundreds, of thousands of readers a day. Now other pundits and notable Democratic politicians are taking notice. It’s a strange turn of events for a guy who started blogging three and a half years ago when he couldn’t find a job. “It’s definitely surreal,” Benen concedes in an evening interview. At 8 p.m., Benen’s already had a long day — he’s at his computer each morning by 5:30 — but he answers questions so effortlessly and articulately that you’d think he’d just had his first cup of morning coffee. The lanky, earnest blogger sits in a swivel chair in his work clothes — jeans and a button-down shirt. On the computer screen behind him, the email inbox is open; magazines and stacks of new hardcover books litter his desk. “One of the cool things about what I do is that publishers send me their books for free,” he notes. Benen shares his office with his wife, Eve, who telecommutes to her job with a D.C. consulting firm. The couple moved to Vermont in 2002 from the nation’s capital, where Benen earned a Master’s in politics from George Washington University and subsequently interned in the Clinton White House Office of Speechwriting. “I did all the photocopying,” the self-effacing writer says of his stint at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. “I never actually wrote any speeches.” Benen left a job in the communications department of the nonprofit Americans United for Separation of Church and State to come to Vermont. He had hoped to land a position with the state Democratic Party, or possibly with Howard Dean’s presidential campaign, but there weren’t as many openings for liberal political operatives in Vermont as he had hoped, so he spent a lot of time talking politics at home. “I’d frequently go on these rants around the kitchen, complaining about one thing or another,” Benen recalls. “Eve encouraged me [to blog]. She said, ‘You should write all this down. Maybe other people would want to read it.’
Benen is writing for tens, sometimes hundreds, of thousands of readers a day. Now notable Democratic politicians are taking notice. And I thought, ‘Why in the world would they want to do that?’” On February 24, Benen launched “The Carpetbagger Report.” The name refers to a group of Northern businessmen and politicians who moved South after the Civil War; Benen, a native Floridian, is a sort of carpetbagger in reverse. Benen started with just a handful of readers, but his audience quickly expanded. It’s still growing — July was his best month for web traffic, followed by another record-breaking month in August. “Carpetbagger” is now netting around 12,000 readers on an average day. That’s not much compared with sites such as “Daily Kos,” which draws more than twice that number every hour, but it’s enabled Benen to charge for ads.
Other opportunities have followed. In 2004, “Carpetbagger” caught the eye of Peter Daou, who directed blog outreach for the Kerry-Edwards campaign, and edits the “Daou Report,” a blog digest at Salon.com. Daou added Benen as an editor at the “Daou Report” in February of this year. In August, when Daou began a leave of absence to work as Hillary Clinton’s blog advisor, Benen took his place as editor-in-chief. Benen also scored a gig as the lead contributor to “Midterm Madness,” the 2006 campaign blog at The American Prospect. And he’s frequently tapped to contribute material at sites such as the “Huffington Post” and “Crooks and Liars,” listed by rankings site Technorati as the Internet’s sixth and 11th most popular blogs on the web.
Kevin Drum, who blogs for the Washington Monthly, often asks Benen to fill in for him when he’s on vacation. “My readers love him,” he says. Drum enjoys Benen’s writing, too. “I’ve been a big admirer of Steve’s for a long time,” he offers. “He covers practically the entire political scene and always seems able to get straight to the heart of what’s going on — and he does it calmly and surgically.” Benen’s blogging work has also started leading to print assignments. He wrote a story for The American Prospect a few weeks back musing about reports that President Bush had been reading Camus’ The Stranger. New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd ended up quoting from the article in her column. So what’s Benen’s secret? He admits

his Washington background has been helpful in interpreting the news, but he downplays its importance. Really, he says, his success comes from a lot of hard work. He reads nine newspapers a day — all online — plus half a dozen magazines and countless blogs. He synthesizes all that information into an average of 10 posts a day on weekdays — more than 5000 words on September 22 alone. And that’s just on “Carpetbagger.” Add that to all of his other assignments and you’ve got a staggering workload; Benen puts in at least 12 hours a day Monday through Fridayand another several hours over the weekend. “This is not a hobby,” he explains. “This is not just a fun little thing on the side where I can share my opinions. I feel like this is more of a professional project.” Benen notes that it’s finally started to pay him enough to “supplement” his family income, but the rewards aren’t just monetary. He’s also started getting phone calls from well-known Democratic politicians, including Hillary Clinton and Kerry. Benen doesn’t blog about these conversations, and he’s not eager to give a blow-by-blow account to a reporter. “I hesitate because I’m not quite sure what the ground rules are,” he says politely but evasively. But he will say that the talks are mainly policy-oriented. The pols seem to want him to know where they stand — not surprising considering how instrumental bloggers have become in framing the debate over the issues of the day. “The conversation I had with John Kerry was exclusively about Iraq,” Benen recalls. “That day, he happened to have an op-ed in The New York Times about his own plan for Iraq, and we had a very substantive policy discussion.” Former President Bill Clinton has also expressed interest in Benen’s work. On Tuesday, September 12, Benen was one of 15 liberal bloggers invited to Clinton’s Harlem office. “It was a wide-ranging conversation,” Benen reports. “We talked about foreign policy, domestic policy, politics, communications, the medium. He seems fascinated with blogs, and what we’re contributing to the political discourse.” Benen says such experiences make all of his work worthwhile. “There are others who are reading these blogs, and who care about this content. It’s not just the activists. It’s people in power who care,” he says, and who will adjust their opinions based on what’s being said. “And that’s fascinating,” Benen adds. “It speaks to a growing power of the institution of blogs, the medium of blogs. It’s exciting to be a part of that right now.” �

Not-So-Blithe Spirit Theater review: The Canterville Ghost
n autumnal chill is creeping into the air, and a frightening array of Halloween candy lies in wait in the grocery aisles. The season seems ripe for a good ghost story. Central STORY Vermont’s new theater company, the ELISABETH Waterbury Festival Players, makes a CREAN spirited effort with Oscar Wilde’s family-friendly phantom, The The Canterville Ghost, directed Canterville Ghost. But the results are by George Pierce. uneven, owing in large part to a script Waterbury Festival that’s dead on the page. Playhouse, Wilde’s 1887 tale is as charming Waterbury. and unconventional as the author September 27-30 himself. The English Lord Canterville and October 4-7, 7 p.m., and is relieved to sell his family’s ancient September 30 & manor, along with its most troubleOctober 7, 2 p.m. some contents: the ghost of Sir Simon $15 ($10 children). Info, 498-3755. Canterville, who murdered his wife back in the Elizabethan era. The new residents are rambunctious Yanks, and Sir Simon doesn’t frighten the Otis family in the least. In fact, the Americans rather relish their acquisition of an ancestral apparition along with the house. A phantom with a pedigree has a certain cachet. The young Otis twins taunt the Ghost with their own tricks, and Mr. Otis recommends helpful remedies to Sir Simon so he can rattle his chains more quietly. The Ghost is gravely offended. He is, after all, a proper Englishman — albeit a dead one — with standards and duties. The Americans are interfering with the conscientious execution of his supernatural obligations. Only teenaged daughter Virginia Otis seems sympathetic to his plight, and she ultimately helps him resolve his purgatorial predicament.
A
Wilde’s short story, written after an extended tour of the United States, is in part a wry satire of cultural conflict: the humorous collision of ingrained English snobbery with fresh-faced American naiveté. The biggest problem with the Waterbury Festival Players’ production was the use of Darwin Reid Payne’s clumsy 1963 adaptation of Wilde’s tale. Payne’s dramatization drains Wilde’s lively writing of its vigor and wit and excises many delightful lines and scenes. The result accomplishes the almost unimaginable feat of dulling Wilde’s sharp insight and flattening his arch dialogue into a leaden stage exercise. Payne short-circuits the arc of the Ghost’s emotional journey, which is the heart of the story’s humor and the source of the plot’s dramatic tension. In Wilde’s original, Sir Simon gets angry and then indignant as the Americans fail to accord him respect by seeming even slightly spooked. The Ghost exhausts centuries’ worth of his best material trying to scare the uncouthly confident Americans, only to have them respond with polite amusement or indifference. Finally he sinks into depression. But Payne’s text removes the engaging escalation of conflict and cuts straight to a dispirited Spirit, annoyingly whiny and ready to give up his illustrious career. Despite this handicap, a quartet of performances in the Waterbury production rose above the weak script. The two strongest portrayals came from the two youngest actors: Alison Smith, 13, and Kelly Shaw, 10, as the
troublemaking twins Marilyn and Maggie Otis. Their antics energized every scene in which they appeared. They got some of the evening’s biggest laughs playing the Headless Knight (who was headed to the kitchen for cake) and pantomiming a poem from the Canterville family history that helps solve a mystery. They smoothly executed the numerous passages in which they had to say the same line in unison — no easy feat. As the ghost of Sir Simon, Michael Manion gamely conjured as much
The manor’s biggest ’fraidy cat, however, is harried housekeeper Mrs. Umney, who repeatedly faints from fright. Martha Walton played the mob-capped matron with the appropriate combination of maternal bustle and eternal vexation. Her eyes popped with fear and darted with wariness, capturing the servant’s struggle to do her job well while wondering, “What’s next?” from her nemesis, Sir Simon. The remaining four members of the cast gave sub-par performances:
Payne’s dramatization drains Wilde’s lively writing of its vigor and wit and excises many delightful lines and scenes. playfulness as possible out of Payne’s pained version of his character. He reveled in the Elizabethan cadences of speech, often interjecting “Gadzooks!” with particular glee. He created memorable character details, such as whistling while he worked (reapplying a bloodstain the Otises had removed) and whirling like a deranged dervish to become “invisible.” He maximized the noisemaking potential of his frightfully heavy chains and later showed the softer side of a shade who at times seems afraid of his own shadow.
stilted, unnuanced or lacking dimensions. Why didn’t Lord Canterville (Jim Galvin) have an English accent? Why did Mr. Otis (James DeRienzo) maintain one expression — bemusement — for the entire play? It’s difficult to discern whether these flaws represented poor directorial choices or weak acting. But it did seem that the actors who performed better had more to do on stage — places to go, props to manipulate. That part of the show is the director’s responsibility. Perhaps giving these characters more action

also gave freer range to their emotional expression. Director George Pierce, who is also the artistic and managing director of the Waterbury Festival Players, has set the lofty goal of “semiprofessionalâ€? theater for the new company. He defines this as “a more challenging environmentâ€? for talented actors to hone their craft than community theater provides. Pierce plans to fill a niche between local amateur troupes and professional companies. The goal is to stage four to five shows a year, with a mix of adult and family plays — no musicals — running from summer through early fall. (The playhouse is unheated.) The Canterville Ghost demonstrated that, in terms of acting, the Festival Players still have a long way to go to separate themselves from the community-theater pack. But this is only their second show; they launched in August with Michael Frayn’s farce Noises Off. And Pierce backs his enthusiasm with a serious level of commitment. When he bought land for his computer business, he made sure it was also suited to building the theater. The resulting structure is a playhouse in a permanent tent — a funky venue that works surprisingly well. And Pierce is offering a full refund to anyone who doesn’t like a show. “We’re putting our money where our mouth is,â€? he says. In contrast to the mixed quality of the acting, the professionalism of The Canterville Ghost’s production elements was astonishing for such a new venue. Technical goblins would be understandable at this early stage, but Pierce and company seem to have smoked them out. Elaborate sound, lighting and special effects cues went off without a hitch. A large central staircase, flanked by portraits of Sir Simon and his murdered spouse, dominated the set, which evoked a dark Tudor manor. Pierce used the black scrim behind the stairs to create some spooky razzle-dazzle. The crew featured many Pierces — Matthew as stage manager, Ginger handling costumes and Sean sound effects. Perhaps some of the show’s surface polish comes from making the behind-thescenes teamwork a family affair. Despite the shortcomings of this play’s script and acting, the Waterbury Festival Players seem to be off to an energetic start. By the time they think about staging The Canterville Ghost again, maybe they’ll be in a position to dump Payne’s dull text and commission a fresh dramatization of Wilde’s bewitching story. ďż˝

ARTWORK “Morning Mist #2” by Kazuo Nakamuro

anadian art is neither as glitzy as modern art in the United States nor as angst-ridden as that of northern European artists. This statement is a generalization, of course, but Canadians themselves have been trying to define their own cultural identity for decades. A current survey exhibit entitled “Entre Amis” at Stowe’s Helen Day Art Center highlights some of the subtle distinctions that have given critically informed Canadian art a historically unique presence. One of the first efforts at a truly national style was made by the Group of Seven, an ensemble of artists who attempted to redefine landscape painting during the second decade of the 20th century. A.Y. Jackson was one of them. “Autumn in Picardy” is his 8-by10-inch oil dating from eight years prior to the group’s “official” founding in Toronto. The little forest scene demonstrates a familiarity with, and modification of, French Impressionism. Jackson was not obsessed with light; he captured activity. While “Autumn in Picardy” was probably made on Jackson’s second trip to Europe, it presages his great Canadian landscapes. In painting trips to northern Ontario, the members of the Group of Seven camped, fished, and painted the “vigor” of the Canadian woods. Kazuo Nakamuro’s “Morning Mist #2” finds harmony in the landscape and conveys the timelessness of nature. The 18-by-24-inch abstraction of scruffy pines recedes into atmospheric perspective beneath a broad sky. Nakamuro’s canvas employs a monochromatic range
of greens, and the indistinct details of his closely cropped, short brushstrokes eloquently embrace the poetic haziness of a misted morning just after sunrise. Like all centers of art and culture, Canada has had its own manifestos and art cliques — most of which are now forgotten. Nakamuro is identified with the Painters 11 movement of the 1950s. This was a more amorphous band of artists than the Group of Seven; while the Painters 11 style was primarily Abstract Expressionist, other themes were allowed to surface. The Montréalbased Automatistes, on the other hand, were dogmatic Abstract Expressionists who championed a less formalist approach than did the New York School — hence the automatism. Canvasses with thick, spatula-like applications of paint by Automatiste painters Rita Letendre and the group’s founder, PaulEmile Borduas, appear in the Helen Day show. The powerful black-and-white photo “Vimy Ridge” by Geoffery James is more effective than the paintings in making a uniquely Canadian artistic statement. Two massive hills, tailings of a Québec asbestos mine, are an ironically peaceful metaphor for destruction and degradation. The barren place resembles lunar hills, and the lethal effects of asbestos, at the time it was mined, were yet unknown. Thus the two mounds seem to symbolize this dual tragedy, environmental and human. But there’s an “invisible hill” here as well — a reference that might be lost on a nonCanadian audience. The name of the
mine’s location honors the World War I Battle of Vimy Ridge in France, in which 10,000 Canadian troops were killed during five days in April 1917. A survey of Canadian art history would not be complete without the contributions of its native population, and Inuit sculptures do figure prominently in the Helen Day exhibition. “Mythological Whale,” carved in 1962 by Eeguivik, in Canada’s newly established Nunavut Territory, is a flattened, 6-by-16-inch aquatic beast. The green serpentine stone whale seems half sturgeon and half seal, with pointy projections off its spine, a rounded face and claws on its flippers. Victoria Mamnuguqsualuk’s 36-by48-inch appliqué “Kiviuk and Scenes of Life” is a hanging textile work with 18 white, yellow and red geometric figures and animals arranged in three rows on a gray background. Kiviuk in his kayak is a mythological hunter of Inuit legend. Other human figures ride a dog sled and cut a window into an igloo. Animals include fanciful bears, unharnessed huskies and a seal. Mamnuguqsualuk’s wonderfully strong negative space animates her parade of images. The duality of “Entre Amis” — presenting traditional and academic fine art with nearly equal prominence — exposes an awkward truth about Canadian art in general: While Inuit art is globally renowned, Canada’s critically informed contemporary art is internationally invisible. The exhibition at Helen Day Art Center suggests the latter group deserves better. m

Opening doors for Vermonters — Since 1974
“The phenomenon has given the artists the freedom to produce whatever they really wish to produce, because there is no commercial drive behind it,â€? says Mathieu BeausĂŠjour, coordinator at Centre d’Art et de Diffusion Clark. “There’s a lot of experimentation.â€? Jennifer Campbell, exhibit coordinator at Dazibao, says visitors from the United States assume artist-run centers are cooperative, but this is not quite right. While they’re run by artists and often
exhibit pieces by their members, the centers also present work by non-members — emerging, international or local — who are creating forward-thinking work. The emphasis is on the intrinsic value of art. The community that forms is not exclusively for its own benefit. An artist-run center is “a place where people can come and work their way through things, whether it’s projects or desires or whatever,â€? says Anne Bertrand, artistic coordinator at Centre des Arts Actuels Skol. “People aren’t here to just serve their own interests. Their interests must meet the larger interests, which is to promote and ensure a place for non-commercial artists to be able to connect.â€? Publishing is another important byproduct of the centers. In Off Printing: Situating Publishing Practices in Artist-Run Centres, contemporary Canadian art icon A.A. Bronson describes the country like this: “Canada is effectively 5000 miles long and 100 miles deep, nestled against the American border. As Canadians, we are brought up observing American culture, because we are immersed in American mass media. But this media environment is not, for the most part, ours: it is distanced from us. Everything we know about art in particular has come to us through the printed media; we are used to the idea of an artwork existing on the printed page.â€? The centers produce everything from exhibition catalogues to collections of essays on theory and practice, and they help foster a sense of Canadian connection. “The country is so wide, but we manage to know most of what’s happening from British Columbia to Newfoundland because of those publications and the magazines,â€? says BeausĂŠjour. No province has embraced the artistrun center more than QuĂŠbec. MontrĂŠal alone has 22 such places. Each has a unique focus and approach, some organized around a specific medium, others around a philosophy or shared values. None of them has to justify itself in the American sense, but the members are professional artists, not hobbyists. Installation and performance art have come to dominate the art scene in MontrĂŠal. Six artist-run centers have joined forces to present “Viva! Art Action,â€? a festival through October 8 focused on “live art practices.â€? Organizers will present more than 30 works throughout the city, though the hub of activity is Bain Saint-Michel, which is hosting a “daily meeting place for artist talks, theoretical discussions, practical workshops and festive evenings.â€? Here’s what’s happening at just one of the artist-run centers, the Centre d’Art et de Diffusion Clark: In “Teenage Kicks: Ça Plane Pour Moi,â€? through October 7, artists celebrate the center’s 18th anniversary with works that explore themes of adolescence. BeausĂŠjour curated this collection of 11 works by seven artists. The multimedia exhibit includes video, sculpture and works on paper. Opening the show is “Fascist Fruit

Boys,” a sculpture installation by Shaun Doyle and Mally Mallinson. It shows five boys beating and kicking another boy. Each piece is approximately 3 to 4 feet high, made of plastics and painted with acrylic. The attackers’ heads are vegetables; their hands are banana bunches. On their feet are red boots. Their victim is a whiteand-blue-striped paper cone of French fries. He lies in a fetal position on the ground, one hand covering an eye. “Fascist Fruit Boys” evokes a complicated emotional reaction. At one level the piece is humorous, and even righteous — fresh fruits and vegetables are good for us, the right nutritional choice. But like a good political cartoon, it muddies these feelings. The sad, wounded cone of French fries reminds us of rhetoric that demoralizes and isolates the “other.”
Also on view is the graphite-on-paper work of GB Jones, who was inspired by the imagery of Beefcake magazine to create lesbian pulp images of busty, butch women being naughty: getting tattoos, shoplifting, flirting with each other. JoAnne Balcaen’s black-and-white video, “Screaming Girls,” is a testament to the ecstatic, near-religious experience of young women in front of their rock idols. It plays on a television monitor across from her neon piece entitled “The End.” Artist-run centers are temples of artistry, bastions of expression. Occasionally, you can live without the show on view, or perhaps their recent book might be a little esoteric. But often, they work brilliantly. And you can’t deny the significance of a place where art and ideas reign supreme. �

n a development that could drastically alter the playing field of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, former White House intern Monica Lewinsky confirmed today that she was considering making a bid for the Democratic nod in 2008. According to those familiar with her political plans, Ms. Lewinsky plans to offer herself as an alternative to the presumptive frontrunner in the race, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y. Rumors of Ms. Lewinsky’s intentions spread like wildfire this week, when the erstwhile intern made a series of stops in New Hampshire, location of the nation’s first presidential primary. Wearing a midnight blue cocktail dress, Ms. Lewinsky drew large crowds across the state, suggesting that she could be a real threat to Ms. Clinton in a head-to-head race. “Voters are worn out from
George Bush, Iraq and the war on terror,” said Democratic voter Jayson Tenzer, who attended one of Ms. Lewinsky’s New Hampshire rallies. “Monica Lewinsky means good times.”

L RE A
SEPTEMBER 28-OCTOBER 04
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Love isn’t as simple as you wish it would be. On the other hand, it’s nowhere near as complicated as you fear it is. My advice to you is to extinguish any itch you might have to compel love to serve any agenda whatsoever. Instead, bow down before it with all the innocence you can muster, and declare yourself ready to be its humble student and servant. Celebrate through surrender.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Dear StarMan: I want to be a famous actress like Scarlett Johansson. I know my natural talent is as good as hers, but I’m not especially beautiful. On one of those ‘am I hot or not?’ websites, I was rated 3.2 out of 10. Can you look into my future and see if I’ll ever make it big in Hollywood? And would it help if I got cosmetic surgery? — Taurus Dreamer.” Dear Taurus: It’s a favorable time for you Tauruses to explore ways you might be kidding yourselves about your destiny. So let me ask you this: Does the dream you articulated express the primal truth about your purpose here on earth? Or is it a fantasy your ego has fabricated out of a deluded longing to pursue inappropriate ambitions that won’t satisfy you in the long run? Instead of saying, “I want to be a famous actress,” try this desire on for size: “I want to be a good actress.”
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): When I was in Seattle recently, I was impressed with the extravagant requests of three seedy-looking homeless guys downtown. Their cardboard signs made it clear they wanted far more than the usual alms. “Need cash to buy fuel for my Lear jet,” read one. “Girlfriend needs liposuction — please help defray costs” and “Desperately need new set of golf clubs for golf date with Donald Trump” said the other two. Draw inspiration from these cheeky fellows. Dream really, really big; ask for more than you’ve dared to before.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): Is your schedule too rigid to allow magic to seep in? Then mutate that schedule, please. Is your brain so crammed with knowledgeable opinions that no fresh perceptions can crack
their way in? Then flush out some of those opinions. Is your heart so puckered by the stings of the past that it can’t burst forth with any expansive new invitations? Then unpucker your heart, for God’s sake.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22): Picture a bridge that once upon a time allowed cars to cross over a river, but that now has nothing but hard dirt and scrubby bushes beneath it. In other words, the river that once compelled the building of the bridge has dried up. This is a useful symbol for you. Metaphorically speaking, you’re thinking about erecting a bridge over a barrier that won’t be a barrier much longer. If you wait a while, it won’t be necessary to do all that work.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Jeff Greenwald (www.ethicaltraveler.com) has traveled extensively all over the planet for the last quarter of a century. “Do the citizens of the world revile us Americans more each year?” I asked him. He said that while millions upon millions have come to despise the U.S. government, most don’t actually hate us, the American people. That’s because they know firsthand the corruption and tyranny of their own countries’ politicians, and so they don’t hold our awful government against us. Let this distinction serve as a guide for you, Virgo. The time is right for you to fight inept institutions and rotten traditions and bad ideas, but without hating anyone.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Emilio Estevez was experiencing writer’s block as he worked on a screenplay about the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. In his desperation to get unstuck, he jumped in his car and started driving north along the California coast. He stopped at the first random motel that had a vacancy, resolved to make this the place he’d plow ahead on the screenplay. The motel clerk recognized Estevez’s famous face and asked him what he was up to. When he told her about his stalled project, she gasped. She had been at the Ambassador Hotel in L.A. on June 4

and 5, 1968, the place and time Kennedy was killed. As she told Estevez her recollections of that night, he felt his writer’s block dissolving. In the ensuing days, he wrote up a storm. I predict, Libra, that you’re about to experience a similar synchronicity. It will jump-start a labor of love that has been on hold.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Last year actress Michelle Rodriguez was arrested for drunk driving in Hawaii. She was given the choice of spending five days in prison or doing 240 hours of community service. She surprised everyone by choosing to be incarcerated. Some observers theorized that she felt it would be a good chance to do research for future film roles as a bad girl. Rodriguez said, “I’m a gypsy. I can see beauty in a jail cell.” While I’m not predicting you’ll end up behind bars in the coming week, Scorpio, I do suspect you’ll have a bout with limitation. If you do, regard it as an invitation to accomplish three things: (1) Develop more compassion for people who’ve undergone comparable adventures; (2) expand your ability to find beauty in challenging circumstances; (3) cultivate your skill at creating opportunities for yourself in the midst of perplexity.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Miami’s Hotel Victor has a “vibe manager” on the staff. This person’s job is to ensure that the hotel’s ambiance is soothing and cheerful. As I see it, Sagittarius, one of your important tasks right now is to be a vibe manager for the environments you share with people. (It’s in your selfish interests to do so.) In addition to keeping the atmosphere relaxing, however, you should also keep it invigorating. Don’t let comfort lapse into stagnancy.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “It’s not whoring if you do it for free,” read both of the matching T-shirts on a couple I saw at a San Francisco café. Being a curious sort, I went up and asked them what exact activity they were referring to. “He loves to
7Dcrossword
give away his top-notch psycho-spiritual advice,” the woman said, pointing to her companion, “and I love to give out compliments without expecting anything in return. Need any free advice or compliments?” Her earnest statements were in sharp contrast to the glib humor of the Tshirt quip. The next day, as I meditated on your astrological omens, I realized my experience with them was a foreshadowing of the oracle I should give you. Here it is: Be both playful and sincere as you deepen your commitment to generosity. Cultivate a blithe intensity as you bestow more of your gifts on the world.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Your job,” my philosophy teacher Norman O. Brown told me back in 1981, “is to find the holy in the mundane, and, failing that, to create the holy in the mundane.” I’ve done my best to carry out his directions all these years. Now I’m going to ask you to do your part, Aquarius. Believe it or not, one of your important tasks in the coming week is to feel awe and reverence while you’re in the midst of the everyday routine. Penetrate to the deeper layers as you seek out divine beauty that gently shocks you into a state of heightened awareness.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20): In her role as DJ Debi Newberry in the film Grosse Point Blank, Minnie Driver defines the term shakabuku as a swift spiritual kick to the head that alters your reality forever. I think you’re due for one of those blessings-in-disguise, though I also believe you can avoid it if you really want to. One way to prevent its delivery would be to hide in your room and ferociously repress every unruly emotion that threatens to rise to the surface. A preferable strategy would be to figure out why you might need a swift spiritual kick in the head and then take action to change the awkward situation that would require the kick’s arrival.

Building a Better “Star Wars� Game review: “Lego star Wars ii: the original trilogy�
“Lego star Wars ii: the original trilogy� GameCube, Playstation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360, PsP, PC $49.95 Xbox 360, $29.95 PC, $39.95 others
“Star Wars� needs kids. Without the sparkling wonder, imagination and attention of children, the “Star Wars� saga would have flickered out long ago. Or maybe “Star Wars� just needs adults who fell in love with the series as kids and still keep a little child like glee at heart. “Star Wars� also apparently needs Legos. With the arrival of “Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy,� the two franchises once again come together to produce as memorable and enjoyable a video game as either has delivered independently. Which raises two questions: Why was this combination fun in the first place? And why do we need a sequel? As it turns out, the answer to both inquiries boils down to nostalgia. When the original “Star Wars� films blasted into theaters, they
thrilled audiences with gee-whiz visuals, and brought the phrase “special effects� into mainstream vocabulary. The epic story and outer-space setting helped bridge movies from the passionate, cinematically literate films of the era to the age of spectacle. George Lucas ushered in the contemporary format for big-budget filmmaking. For kids in the 1970s and early ’80s, “Star Wars� burned into the brain like a white-hot light-saber. And even after these young fans grew up, they continued to love “Star Wars,� going to the new movies and eventually taking their own children. The progeny of the “Star Wars� generation were just happy that the adults wanted to see the same movies they did, for a change. The people who grew up with “Star Wars� also grew up with Legos.
SUdoKU
So, the generation weaned on the antics of Luke Skywalker also found it terribly charming that they could buy little Lego “Star Wars� sets for their kids. Turn all this passion into a video game that captures the fun of the movies and the toys, and you have a hit. And since the first game covered only chapters 1-3 in the “Star Wars� series, you pretty much needed a game sequel to pick up the story from the original trilogy of films. “Lego Star Wars II� moves the formula of running around as your favorite “Star Wars� characters in Legos forward by adding new twists, more vehicles, more characters and a new feature that lets you mix and match bodies, heads and parts to create new “Lego Star Wars� characters. Given enough time, every “Lego Star Wars� player will mash up Darth Vader with the metal-bikini Princess Leia to create something truly odd. With plenty of nerdy inside jokes, and packed with light-saber and blaster action, the game never ceases to deliver smiles. As a fairly simple game, the two-player mode encourages intergenerational fun, letting parents and kids everywhere relive their favorite “Star Wars� fantasies together.

(139 min, PG-13)
All the King’s Men HHH
A POWER FAILURE Zaillian’s chronicle of corruption is too muddled to make much of a statement.
s you watch this remake about the rise and fall of a populist Louisiana politician in the first half of the 20th century, you might get the sense that you’ve entered one of Randy Newman’s many great songs about the place and period. It is far less likely, though, that you’ll feel you’ve encountered a great motion picture. Steven Zaillian, who wrote the scripts for Schindler’s List and Gangs of New York, among other films, determined he was up to writing and directing a new adaptation of Robert Penn Warren’s Pulitzer-winning 1946 novel, a book already made into an Oscar-winning picture in ’49. He’s likely to think twice before going anywhere near a movie camera again. All the King’s Men was originally scheduled for release quite some time ago. Rumors about trouble with the movie have been circulating around Hollywood ever since. As it turns out, they were well founded. Rarely has such esteemed source material been so underserved. Penn acts up a storm. Unfortunately, his performance is mostly wind. As Willie Stark, a teetotalling parish treasurer who morphs into a bourbon-guzzling lech of a governor, he flails and bellows. He gesticulates and hollers. With a script that doesn’t provide him with much of interest to do, he comes off as more of a caricature than a charismatic leader. The film has a number of serious problems, but none is more problematic than Zaillian’s screenplay. Two hours after being introduced to the film’s central character, the viewer is unlikely to have much more insight into him than he or she did while watching the opening credits. Jude Law costars as jaded journalist Jack Burden, whom Stark makes his righthand man as he campaigns, successfully, for governor. Law narrates the story in a world-weary Southern drawl from some point in the future that clearly has been preceded by tragedy — the kind that reveals things you’d rather not have known about humanity. He recounts the early days of their association. A shady backroom operative played by James Gandolfini sweettalks Stark, a door-to-door salesman, into running for office. He neglects to inform him that he’ll be campaigning as nothing more than a spoiler. When Burden tips the
SHORTS candidate off, Stark’s indignation produces an overnight transformation. Stark is the oratorical equivalent of the Incredible Hulk. One minute he’s giving mumbly stump speeches in which he fumbles with scribbled pie charts; the next he’s raging with the eloquence of Martin Luther King Jr. against the lousy hand the state’s “hicks” have been dealt by the rich and powerful. That’s the first sign of the kind of trouble this movie will have the rest of the way through. Zaillian directs the film as though he’s trying to fit it in on his lunch hour. Nothing in the picture develops subtly or with appropriate pacing. Rather, the movie lurches from one plot point to the next, in some cases shoving major shifts in character into the space of a single edit. And I’m not quibbling about minor characters — of which there are plenty, and with which little is done. I’m talking about the movie’s main figure, and the shift that is the very point of the picture. One minute Stark is a man of the people pushing an agenda based on building schools, roads and hospitals. The next, he’s a bloated blackmailer, an elected official whose dirty tricks threaten to bring about his impeachment. There is literally nothing in between. The viewer is left to wonder whether the theater projectionist has misplaced a pivotal reel. The effect is tremendously disorienting. Personality traits and conspiracies materialize out of nowhere. No sooner does the audience catch on to the fact that Penn’s character has allowed himself to be corrupted by the power of his office than peripheral characters start shooting themselves — and others. And then, just like that, the film is over. Here are some of the many fine actors who will not be receiving award nominations for their work: Law, Kate Winslet, Patricia Clarkson, Gandolfini, Mark Ruffalo, Anthony Hopkins and, of course, Penn. Never have so many approached Southern accents from such a variety of directions, with so little verisimilitude to show for their efforts. Penn’s performance is technically convincing. The actor clearly put his heart and soul into the role. It’s what Zaillian left out that prevents All the King’s Men from being all it might have been.m

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD
Close to Home Ormstown, an Anglo community southwest of Montréal, is sitting in for the equivalent of a Vermont hamlet. Adapted from a series of books for youngsters aged 9 through 12, the film centers on a family that experiences phantasmagoria aplenty after moving to the dilapidated Spiderwick Estate. Freddie Highmore (Finding Neverland) portrays adolescent twin brothers; Sarah Bolger (In America) inhabits the role of their sister. David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck) shows up as Arthur Spiderwick, the estate’s mysterious scion. The director, Mark Waters, has Freaky Friday on his resume. And the freaky supernatural creatures in Chronicles come courtesy of special effects. The Key Sunday Cinema Club is gearing up for an October 1 launch of its fall/winter season at the Roxy in downtown Burlington. The biweekly morning sessions offer sneak previews of unreleased art-house fare, lively discussions and periodic guest speakers. In the past, Oscar contenders such as Sideways and Tsotsi have premiered here weeks or months before their official debuts. The first selection will be Elizabeth, starring Helen Mirren as the current British monarch, grappling with the death of Princess Di.

Queen City resident Martha Penzer has led a rather peripatetic life since graduating from Simmons College three decades ago as an American studies and education major. The half-hour documentary “Bosnia After the War” catches up with the 53-year-old Boston native in Sarajevo, where she taught universitylevel English composition in 1999 and 2000. A free 7 p.m. screening of the film, which was directed by Nancy Burnett, will take place on Saturday at the Burlington Friends Meeting House on North Prospect Street. Before Penzer’s sojourn in the embattled Balkans, she focused on world religions at Indiana’s Earlham College; worked as an international student advisor at the Pratt Institute in Manhattan; managed a Quaker study center in Washington, D.C.; taught in Korea and Slovenia; and, in the mid-1990s, trekked through Eastern Europe and the Middle East. That journey — partly with a group organized by Buddhist monks to commemorate the end of World War II a half-century earlier — tapped into Penzer’s personal legacy. “I’m a child of Holocaust survivors
who were Polish Jews,” she notes. “My father was in Auschwitz-Birkenau. My mother escaped from the Warsaw Ghetto with false papers that allowed her to pass as a Catholic. We were raised with the consciousness that you have to do something to help others, especially civilians caught in the maw of war.” Penzer went to Sarajevo on a grant from the Open Society Fund, founded by liberal philanthropist George Soros. She helped some of her 200 students self-publish a collection of their emotionally charged essays. Burnett, her former Beantown roommate who now lives in upstate New York, uses these writings as a template to examine Bosnia’s problems. Back in the United States, Penzer earned a library science degree from Simmons. In 2004 she found a job in that field at an Ohio Quaker boarding school, but this June “a sweetheart” in Vermont persuaded her to relocate. For the moment, her globetrotting is on hold. “Fundamentally, I’m a homebody,” Penzer says. “So it surprises me a great deal that I’ve been so hither and thither.” m

fickle fannie BY DAVID DIEFENDORF
READ THIS FIRST: This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them. Monty, Marilyn, and CARS were all misfits in The Misfits. If your photos are too blurry, you have to adjust the CAR. Las Vegas has more CAR lights per block than any other city. The CAR is a strange and illusory parallel reality, or non-reality. For some folks, serving on jury duty boosts one’s CAR pride. What looked like a puddle in the hot desert was just a CAR. Six CARS put on a thrilling show over Lake Champlain. Catamounts are the same as mountain lions, pumas and CARS. No one expected the crocodile guy to be done in by a CAR. A CAR figured prominently in Stravinsky’s famous suite. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS HUBCAPS. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 63A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.
FICKLE FANNIE HINT: It all makes sense when you insert the names of particular car models.

n The Spiderwick Chronicles, MaryLouise Parker appears as a rural New England mom whose kids encounter “faeries” and ogres. This Paramount film, shooting in Québec from midSeptember through late January, is a sort of cinematic trompe l’oeil. When the movie opens during Christmas 2007, audiences may think they’re witnessing what the script describes as “an unspecified Vermont town.” Look for syrup from St. Johnsbury’s Maple Grove, fake Green Mountain State license plates — and a genuine Seven Days distribution rack. A Ben & Jerry’s scoop shop on the set has a local pedigree but resembles those found worldwide these days. “We’ve also got an L.L. Bean store,” explains Nutan Khanna, the production’s product placement coordinator. Hmm, isn’t the outdoorsy clothing company actually in Maine? Khanna concedes that fact, adding hopefully: “We have a Verizon phone booth.” Which might be anywhere in the Northeast. Oh, well. The motion picture’s heart seems to be in the right place, even if its money isn’t. After contacting the Vermont Film Commission a year ago to ask about possible financial breaks, Paramount officials never called back. “The studio was just running numbers,” suggests Executive Director Danis Regal. The numbers apparently looked better up north. Hollywood often eschews geographic realism in favor of generous Canadian tax incentives.

butternut squasH soup witH apple Confit 3-4 cups chicken or vegetable stock • 1 T olive oil 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, about 2 cups • ½ t sugar Salt & pepper • 3 T apple cider 4 lb butternut squash, peeled, seeded & cut into large cubes, about 6 cups Heat olive in a soup pot and add onion, ½ t salt, sugar, and a pinch of pepper. Sauté over medium heat until onions slightly caramelize, about 15 minutes, adding a little stock if they stick. Add the cider and cook 3 more minutes, or until pan is almost dry. Add squash and 1 t salt to the onions. Add just enough stock to barely cover the squash; the squash breaks down and releases its own liquid as it cooks. Cover the pot and cook over medium heat for 20 to 30 minutes, until the squash is very soft. Puree the soup in a blender or processor. Thin with stock if it’s too thick. Return the pureed soup to the pot, cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls. While the soup is cooking, make an apple confit. Melt 2 T butter in a medium sauté pan, add 2 apples (peeled, cored and sliced); sauté over medium-high heat, stirring to coat them with the butter. Add ½ cup of cider, cover the pan and cook over medium heat for 15 – 20 minutes, until soft. Then uncover and cook for 8 – 10 minutes to reduce the liquid. Mash the apples, but leave a lot of texture. Put a mound of confit in the center of each bowl of soup, and top with a dollop of crème fraiche.

Is Jim Douglas Trying to Blow This? this week, Vermont Gov. Jim douglas wrote his fellow republican (Chairman pombo of the 11th district of California) an absolutely shocking-by-Vermontstandards letter. In it douglas expresses his “concern� about the pending New england Wilderness act. In fact, it’s a very blatant attempt to give pombo some local cover to kill the Wilderness act in the House, even though it passed the republican Senate unanimously after five years of extensive research and public hearings by the u.S. Forest Service. Our Gov. Jimbo is reaching out to Chairman pombo to derail a Wilderness act that will protect Vermont and New Hampshire for our kids and their kids and their kids? Very strange.

novel experience From 1942 to 1945, more than 100,000 Japanese-Americans were rounded up and held in internment camps, out of xenophobic fear that their rumored “dubious loyalty” posed a threat to U.S. national security during wartime. About 60 percent of those detained were U.S. citizens, and most never fully recovered their losses. Author Julie Otsuka tells the story of a fragmented family’s failed trust in governmental authority in her 2002 novel, When the Emperor Was Divine — a narrative based on the time her grandparents, mother and uncle spent behind barbed wire on U.S. soil. Otsuka culminates Champlain College’s annual community book program with a public reading and talk. The New York City-based writer considers how contemporary concerns about terrorist threats are affecting U.S. civil liberties. Julie Otsuka

scene@ NATIONAL ANTHEM SINGING CONTEST
Bristol Rec Field, Saturday, September 23, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Oh, say can you sing . . . the national anthem? Apparently most Americans can’t, and not just because of the high notes. A recent national poll found that two-thirds of Americans don’t know the words to the first verse of “The Star Spangled Banner,” never mind the second and third. The National Association for Music Education set out to remedy this situation by founding the National Anthem Project, which holds national anthem singing contests in all 50 states; Vermont’s took place on Saturday, at the Bristol Harvest Festival. Organizers set up an impressive star-spangled display beneath red-white-and-blue tents. The largest tent contained giant speakers and metal risers that served as a stage. Another housed a karaoke machine, stocked with patriotic tunes. The only things they didn’t bring were contestants. Maybe it was the rain, or the location. For whatever reason, people just didn’t want to belt it out. A school group showed up early on, but from noon until about 1 p.m., only three people took a turn, and two of them sang together. National Anthem Project staff shot video of the performances, which will be judged by a panel in West Virginia. The Vermont winner will receive $1000 toward the school music program of his or her choice, and will get to sing the anthem with the other winners at the White House on Flag Day. Assistant tour manager Sylvester Williams worked his small crowd like a carnival barker. “Come on up on stage and sing the first verse of the national anthem,” he urged. “Come on, it takes about 86 seconds.” “C’mon,” Williams continued, addressing a man with a small boy. “I have lyrics cards for you.” The man turned him down, but Williams did manage to lure him into the karaoke booth. After delivering a halting, off-key rendition of the anthem to the karaoke machine, the man was still unwilling to compete. “I think if I was going to get drunk, I would sing,” he told Williams hopefully. Note to organizers: Next time, hand out free beer. CATHY RESMER

kEYED UP Sweden brings to mind meatballs, socialized medicine and, well, IKEA. But it’s also home to a unique folk tradition that dates back to medieval meadhalls and is made musical by the nyckelharpa, a keyed fiddle similar to the English hurdy-gurdy. Väsen, a band of Nordic-roots virtuosos, entertains with energetic, contemporary twists on nyckelharpa-fueled numbers. Twelve-stringed guitarist Roger Tallroth, violist Mikael Marin and award-winning nyckelharpa player Olov Johansson learned melodies from Sweden’s northern Uppsala in folk legends’ living rooms. The trio opens the Lane Series with intense, upbeat instrumentals, rich harmonies and scintillatingly original takes on trad tunes. Abba it’s not, but world music fans shouldn’t miss these northern lights.

POTLUCK OF THE DRAW You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family. Siblings tap this truism in Dearly Beloved, a comedy co-written by Jamie Wooten, Jessie Jones and Nicholas Hope. Wooten once penned scripts for the character of Blanche Devereaux on TV’s “The Golden Girls,â€? and his taste for bawdy Southern belles shows: In Fayro, Texas, the middleaged Futrelle sisters — Frankie, Twink and Honey Raye — conspire to throw a Gone With the Wind-themed wedding for Frankie’s daughter, Tina Jo. High jinks ensue, among them Twink’s plan to have the wedding dinner run as a potluck sponsored by “Clovis Sanford’s House of Meat,â€? and Honey Raye’s choice of skintight gold lamĂŠ as a churchgoing costume. The Valley Players production serves up family-style belly laughs Fridays through Sundays until October 15. ‘Dearly BeloveD’

Smokers Interested in Quitting!
FAR OUT Nine colorful Styrofoam spheres used to make up a typical science-fair mobile, but parents of contemporary grade-school crafters may be wondering who shrank the solar system. Last month, more than 76 years after its discovery, Pluto was reclassified — some would say demoted — as a “dwarf planet,� small enough to be considered different from the other eight heavenly bodies circling the sun. In a non-technical talk aimed at science enthusiasts ages 10 and up, astrophysicist Darren Williams explains the change in Pluto’s status by outlining recent discoveries in the outer solar system. Williams, a professor of physics and astronomy at Penn State’s Behrend College, is an expert on the origin and evolution of habitable planets. Astrobiology, anyone?

is own name sounds like one of the old-fashioned apple varieties he cultivates. Ezekiel Goodband, Vermont’s foremost heirloom apple expert, is the main mover and shaker behind the bushels of Belle de Boskoop, Pitmason Pine Apple, D’Arcy Spice and Newtown Pippin now on display at your local co-op. Although more and more local apple farmers are discovering the economic and gastronomic benefits of varietal diversification, 53-year-old Goodband was the area’s pomological pioneer, with decades of orchard experience in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. A recent Burlington Free Press story described him as New England’s “heirloom apple guru.� Wiry, agile and sporting a beard worthy of an ancient patriarch, Goodband finishes loading boxes on a Black River Produce
as “heirlooms,� meaning they have been in existence for at least a century. “One of my favorites,� Goodband says, pointing out some Baldwin apples that will ripen to a deep red by mid-October. “The Baldwin makes a pie for breakfast that gets you through till lunch. It’s a workingman’s apple. Very, very firm, dense, hard, it stands up to cooking and is noticeably tart. Doesn’t turn to mush.� He’s partial to the Roxbury Russet, too. “Once you have tasted cider from the Roxbury Russet, almost like nectar, you will never be content with Mac cider again. It would take a wine expert to describe the cider flavors of the late apples.� But there’s more to heirlooms than good taste. Each variety represents a slice of cultural history. “One of the things that attracted me to Roxbury Russets,� he says, “is the direct link to Roxbury, Massachusetts, in the early 1600s; the unbroken chain of people who kept the variety going.

marily the rough skin and only incidentally the reddish-brown color. Goodband likens his discovery of heirloom apples to “all those wonderful cheeses� he never tasted as a child. His family grew up eating Red Delicious apples from the small orchard his veterinarian father kept. Then-young Goodband found his way to agriculture via Chinese history at Bowdoin and a degree in ecology from Goddard College. Post-grad, he found himself in Maine, growing vegetables for a seed company and working at a market garden. There he started noticing old, neglected orchards and made arrangements with landowners to improve their trees. With the cuttings from these trees, Goodband started his own nursery, which >> 14B

he relocated to New Hampshire and finally to the Scott Farm six years ago. Apples aren’t native to North America; the early settlers brought them in the form of seeds. Because of the vagaries of pollination and recessive genes, the seeds produced unpredictable results, some of which were considered desirable. Thousands of happy accidents — some high in sugar and acid, others distinctively flavored, others with good cooking or keeping qualities — were replicated by grafting. The product was a genetic clone that could be perpetuated indefinitely. Early apples were usually low-sugar varieties, which were pressed for cider. Low sugar meant low alcohol, “enough to preserve the cider,” Goodband explains, “but you wouldn’t get schnockered.” The “proof ” was important because everyone drank cider — men, women and children. To make dried apples, the settlers preferred an “evaporation” variety such as Maiden’s Blush, “a handsome apple that stayed white when it dried.” The Baldwin was the most widely planted variety in New England until a “wicked freeze” in the 1930s killed most of the trees. That, plus “better living through chemistry,” Goodband notes ironically, gave Macintosh the edge. Agricultural researchers and chemical companies promoted Macs until they came to dominate New England’s apple industry. The U.S. Department
of Agriculture had already hurt apple diversity in the 1920s when, to reduce confusion in the marketplace, it recommended just seven varieties to replace the hundreds still grown commercially. The Mac is a “nice apple,” Goodband says, but, like sweet corn, doesn’t keep well. It’s not a good deal for growers, either. The Mac is itself defined as an heirloom but like milk, it has become a “commodity” and commands the same price today as it did 20 years ago. Meanwhile, the cost of running an orchard has steadily increased. If Goodband calls a buyer to say he has some Macs packed up, the buyer knows that every other orchard in New England has them packed up, too. To make matters worse, Americans don’t eat as many apples as they used to. Consumption in the United States is 15 pounds per capita; in France, it’s 50-plus. Heirloom growers appeal to niche markets, and in specialty realms, price is negotiable. If, for example, Goodband were offering the “fabulous” Reine des Reinettes, with its fine-grained flesh and high sugar and acid content, he would be in a good bargaining position. Along those lines, Goodband learned from an Austrian baker friend that “real strudel” calls for Belle de Boskoop apples. Goodband found cuttings and discovered, “It’s a wonderful pie apple and one of the most handsome apples on Earth,” firm enough to stand up under cooking and appropriately tart. His goal now, Goodband says
with a smile, is to corner the strudel market. “If we could just reach the left-handed Buddhists,” he quips. As Goodband plucks and hefts apples, noting their various characteristics, it’s clear that they appeal to all the senses. You taste them, of course, and the taste buds react to sweet and tart; the nose detects a fragrance; the eye takes in a range of colors, patterns and shapes; the lips and teeth feel skin quality and degrees of grain and density; the hand responds to surface texture, weight and form. If the apples have reached a certain apotheosis as hard cider, the whole nervous system dances in delight — at least until the morning after. Timing is everything in the apple business, and Goodband knows when the fruit is ready to pick. For instance, he samples an Ananas Reinette and decides that it needs just a little more time to build sugar and acid. The vocabulary here is comparable to the world of wine, with descriptors such as fine grain, dense, conical, subacid and sprightly carefully applied. The Mac, for example, is a green apple with a red blush or cheek. It’s peak season at the orchard right now, and Goodband is aided by workers who pick apples, set up boxes and pack them. Four Jamaicans perched on tall ladders are plucking fruit from the trees; they arrived on a government guest-worker program. One of Goodband’s pickers has worked with
On Sunday, October 8, the Scott Farm will host free, heirloom-apple tastings at 10 a.m., noon and 2 p.m. All of the varieties sampled will be available for sale. The Dummerston Pie Festival, two miles from the farm, happens concurrently. Take Exit 3 off I-91. Call 254-6868 for info.

The farm, a for-profit corporation, has its own unique history; it belongs to the Landmark Trust USA, a not-forprofit American counterpart of Britain’s Landmark Trust, which has preserved more than 180 unique buildings in Western Europe. Fred Holbrook gave the land over to the American trust; the farm had been in his family for several generations. Three years earlier Holbrook sold Naulakha, the house Rudyard Kipling built in Vermont, to the same organization. David Tansey, executive director of the Landmark Trust USA, has big plans for the Scott Farm. Already it grows peaches, plums, grapes, pears, quince, medlars and various berries. Tansey would like to convert more of the farm buildings and land to other agricultural and ecologically sustainable activities. Alternative fuels could be developed, he suggests; farmraised meat and vegetables could be supplied to local schools. And, of course, greater efforts could be made to educate the public about how a really good apple tastes. Here at the Scott Farm, as in wine country, human ingenuity works with the gifts of nature to please people whose palates crave more than ordinary fare. Of his apples Goodband says, “They are the fruit of my labor, an expression that really means something.” >
No time for a mid-morning coffee run? Call — or email — the “Mobile Barista,” Chittenden County’s caffeinated Good Humor Man. With a fully equipped coffee van, Erik Olsen delivers hot java, fruit smoothies and freshly steeped tea to offices in Colchester, South Burlington and Winooski. On weekends he brings the buzz to fairs and craft shows, offering up macchiatos, Americanos and thermal carafes of steaming Guatemalan Coban and shade-grown Ecuadorian “Puyango.” Olsen wasn’t looking to get into the mobile coffee business when he discovered a retrofitted coffee van for sale on eBay; the former web designer was actually searching for a home espresso maker. But the business “just appealed to me,” he says. He bought the van, did some work on the interior, and launched the Mobile Barista about two and a half months ago. Olsen, a self-trained barista, is a stickler for quality ingredients and proper procedures. Most of the coffee he sells is fair trade organic, and he roasts it all himself — with the exception of the decaf espresso blend. A timer ensures that each shot of espresso takes exactly 25 seconds to brew. The resulting infusion is rich, enticingly bitter and topped with a thick layer of crema — one sign of a well-made cup. Burlington businesses won’t get their buzzes until winter — at the earliest. And the city won’t let Olsen go door-to-door, which could put a crimp in his business plan. Officials want him to park and peddle, à la Beansies, but moving among four Queen City locations. By then Olsen plans to have a “serious commercial roaster” on board and be selling beans by the pound.

Soy Story Lactose-intolerant localvores will have something to be thankful for in November. Andrew Meyer and Todd Pinkham of the Vermont Soy Company in Hardwick plan to start producing chocolate, vanilla, and plain organic soymilk. They hope to follow later with tofu, soy yogurt, a kefir-like soy beverage and tempeh. Many of their recipes were developed in concert with the Nutrition and Food Sciences Department at UVM and, ideally, they will all be produced using soybeans grown at multiple small farms in Vermont. This venture would have been impossible just a few years ago, according to Pinkham. The market just wasn’t there. The soy beverage industry changed drastically in 1999, when the FDA ruled that soy products could carry a “heart health” claim on their labels. When large dairy companies realized they could process soymilk using existing equipment, many went into full-scale production. These companies have demonstrated a huge demand for soymilk, leading the way for companies like Vermont Soy. But Pinkham suggests that large dairies often operate in ways that aren’t eco-friendly, even when the soymilk they churn out is certified organic — for example, clear-cutting South American rainforests to make room for large fields of soy. Vermont Soy is careful about their suppliers, even for their packaging: Their recyclable plastic bottles are made in South Burlington. You can’t get much more local than that.

Shelburne Road’s got plenty of fast-food options. But the new Lake-View Restaurant in South Burlington calls for a serious slow-down. David Hugo, chef-owner of the acclaimed Starry Night Café in Ferrisburgh, has taken over as the restaurant’s manager. The updated menu stays true to his love of local products and cooking craftmanship. Asked which items are made from scratch, Hugo boasts, “We make everything, even the crackers for the soup.” But don’t expect a dining destination like Starry Night. Hugo wants the Lake-View to be more of a drive-by place. In keeping with the casual vibe, the new Lake-View allows you to build your own meal, by choosing from five types of fish, seven sauces and 11 side dishes. The final product might be rainbow trout with tartar sauce, steak fries and cole slaw, or Hawaiian yellow tail tuna with mango salsa, sautéed garlic spinach and basmati rice pilaf. Carnivores can do the same with steaks, ribs and chops. Not the DIY type? House “specialties” and “favorites” include “East Coast” cioppino, pan-roasted chicken “Carbonaro” and the ultimate in New England fare: a thick pork chop with maple baked beans and house-made brown bread. Even with local ingredients, the prices are comparable to more conventional restaurants. Only a few entrées exceed $20. “All steaks can surf,” the menu notes in Hugo’s style. “Add a Maine lobster tail for $9.50.”

ern Berthiaume admits he was a little scared when 100 massive mud-brown creatures with gnarly horns moved into his dairy barn in Salisbury. On the Berthiaume Brothers farm, which has been in business for 48 years, they’d never milked anything but Holsteins. Now here he was, standing face to face with creatures more common to the rice paddies of Southeast Asia than to the dairy farms of Vermont. Granted, there were advantages to the arrangement. Berthiaume’s contract with Woodstock Water Buffalo Company owner David Muller made dairy farming about as risk-free as it can get. The company agreed to pay Berthiaume a daily fee per head, in return for feeding and milking the buffalo. For the first time, his monthly paycheck
wouldn’t depend on the going price of cow’s milk — which has mostly been going down. Six weeks after the first water-buffalo arrived, Berthiaume has changed his mind about the ferocious-looking beasts. “They’re easier to work with than the Holsteins,” he marvels. “They’re like a bunch of big dogs. I sure didn’t think they would be.” The arrangement between Woodstock Water Buffalo and Berthiaume is more than a contract between a struggling small-town farmer and a big-city entrepreneur with a plan for getting back to the land. It offers hope for financially strapped dairy farmers looking to stay in the game. Berthiaume’s situation was getting desperate when the Salisbury farmer saw an ad in the Addison Independent, recruiting dairy farmers to house water buffalo. “I was losing too much
money on Holsteins,” he says. “The price of milk had been way too low for way too long.” He started asking around — financial people, friends, fellow farmers. He made several trips to the Star Hill Dairy in South Woodstock, where Muller’s herd resides. Then he signed on. “Other farmers thought I was nuts,” Berthiaume remembers. “They told me to watch out. They wondered if I knew what I was getting into.” Muller of the Woodstock Water Buffalo Company didn’t know at first what he was getting into, either. Equipped with a Ph.D. in physics from Cornell and two Master’s degrees, he helmed the company that helped develop laser eye surgery and made enough money to “retire.” In 2002, Muller began buying water buffalo off the range in Florida, Alabama and Texas and importing them to his vacation home in South Wood-

stock. At first, he was thinking in terms of a hobby — milking a few water buffalo and turning the milk into authentic Italian mozzarella di bufala. But for this man whose brain never seems to leave overdrive, hobbies have a way of becoming something more. By 2003, the Woodstock Water Buffalo Company was shipping both the mozzarella and water-buffalo yogurt, and Muller’s pet project got covered on National Public Radio and in the Los Angeles Times. The yogurt comes from a recipe Muller made up in his own kitchen; it’s a rich, creamy concoction that comes in hip flavors like black currant and chai. It’s so popular, says Kent Underwood, the dairy manager for Woodstock Water Buffalo, that projected sales for 2007 are in the neighborhood of $1 million. Ninety percent derives from yogurt sales, the rest from the specialty cheese. What’s more, says Underwood, the company’s growth rate is doubling each year. Growth has always been part of Muller’s long-term strategy. From the beginning, he talked about recruiting other farmers to raise and milk the water buffalo, thereby turning unused or underused barns back into functioning dairies. Muller hoped not only to create a steady supply of milk for his company, but also to keep farming viable in Vermont by preserving its infrastructure. Already he’s had three takers. Dennis Mueller, who manages what he calls a “heifer hotel” at Arnold Bay Farm in Panton, is raising 70 water-buffalo heifers for Woodstock Water Buffalo,
along with another 500 Holstein heifers for other clients. He’ll send the water buffalo back to Woodstock before they calve. In New Haven, Roger Stowe is caring for another 140 buffalo heifers. So far, Berthiaume is the only farmer who’s milking the buffalo. But Underwood says word of his success is prompting interest from other farmers. To feed and milk 100 buffalo, as stipulated by his agreement, Berthiaume has hired two former Woodstock Water Buffalo employees who know how to handle the animals. In return, he is paid $6 a head per day, and Woodstock sends a truck every other day to pick up the milk. For Berthiaume, the beauty of the arrangement is not just the steady paycheck, but also the fact that buffalo consume about 21 fewer pounds of feed per day than a Holstein — and a lowerquality feed at that. The animals also live significantly longer than Holsteins. Water buffalo produce less milk than cows, an average of 10 pounds per day to the cow’s 60. But water buffalo

milk has about three times the butterfat and twice the protein of cow’s milk, so the deal still works in Berthiaume’s favor, he says. “The premium these guys are getting for their product benefits me in terms of what I can charge them for rent.” By 2010, Underwood says, “we’d like to be milking 1000 head” — a lot more than the 200 head being milked now in Woodstock and Salisbury. Thinking over the longer term, Underwood says that Muller “would love to see 50,000 water buffalo in Vermont someday.” That’s about one third the number of Holsteins the state has now. Berthiaume’s personal goal is to replace all his Holsteins with water buffalo; he could house about 400 in his barn. “I think it would be a winning proposition,” he says. “Besides, I was getting bored with Holsteins. With them, it’s a losing battle.” >

SUPER-ABSORBENCY
Boise, Idaho’s Built to Spill have enjoyed a remarkably full career since coming together in 1993. Conceived as a revolving-door act by songwriter/front man Doug Martsch, the group has had a more or less solid lineup for the past several years. They’ll bring their searing and emotive guitar rock to the Higher Ground Ballroom on Sunday, Oct. 1. A big key to the band’s Crazy Horse-gone-indie-rock sound is guitarist Brett Netson, who has been in and out of the group since its days as a gangly recording project. Netson has contributed licks to my favorite BTS albums, which includes their 1997 major-label effort, Perfect From Now On. The band’s latest disc, You In Reverse, has been hailed as a return to form for the group following 2001’s middling Ancient Melodies of the Future. With Netson back to stay, BTS are hitting the road, delivering some of the most incendiary live performances of their career. Netson recently chatted with me via phone from the road. I found him to be a laid-back dude with a levelheaded attitude about BTS’ status as indie-rock godfathers. Check my blog, http://7d.blogs.com/solidstate, for audio excerpts from the interview.
BN: Of course. And we could probably do it even more. We try to extend a different song every time. A certain group of people might be into it because it’s their favorite tune, and they get to hear it for 10 minutes. I’m sure others are probably bummed! But it keeps changing, and people seem to appreciate that.
FREAK CHIC
The folks at Glamorama Inc. have put together another bizarre DJ extravaganza/costume party, and it’s not even Halloween. “Vermont M*therf*ckerz” takes place on Saturday, Sept. 30, at Burlington’s newly minted nightclub, Plan B. Revelers can expect electro-rock sets from area turntablists, plus a whole slew of oddball attractions. These include “Watch a Magician Work Magic on Your Girl/Boyfriend,” and “Free Coca-Cola in the Bathroom.” Sounds like Studio 54 but without those pesky illegalities. I recently asked co-organizer/DJ Elliott Matos to illuminate the quirky activities. “Well, at most of our events we have a cotton-candy machine, freshly cut flowers, live painting and people in animal costumes running around and getting the crowd wild,” he explains. “For this one, we decided to re-name a few things and add some others, like free CD giveaways and the magician.” Matos says a couple of folks in donkey suits will also be in the house. For a mere buck, you can get your picture taken “kissing the ass.” It’ll later be posted at www.BurlingtonNights.com. From there, who knows? Maybe some weird dude’s hard drive. Admission for the event is $5, three bucks if you pass the dress code. Encouraged attire is “redneck chic” or “goth hillbilly.” Here’s a tip from Matos: “Think Garth Brooks meets ‘The Munsters,’” he says. How about Toby Keith cum “The Addams Family,” or Larry the Cable Guy and Marilyn Manson? The possibilities are endless.
SD: You guys managed to avoid the criticism that can come when a beloved indie band signs to a major. Why do you think that is? BN: I think it’s ’cause we’re still ugly. Actually, we’ve got a pretty
BUILT TO SPILL
SEVEN DAYS: Built to Spill were one of the bands keeping non-metallic rock alive during the early ’90s. What was the underground like then? BRETT NETSON: The whole independent rock scene in general was real strong. Everybody knew why everybody else was there. It was pre-Clear Channel, you know? Things happened so organically, and it was pretty easy to know what you didn’t want to do. Like Whitesnake.
RASTA RECALIBRATION
SD: Now, you’re considered one of the originators of the modern indie-rock sound. How does it feel to be so highly regarded? BN: If anything, we were just there when it was all really good. I don’t think we invented much. There were plenty of bands before us that we learned from: Mission of Burma, fireHose, the Meat Puppets. You could talk to your heroes; sooner or later you’d meet them. I saw a Dead Kennedys show at a bar in Boise! SD: There isn’t much in the way of exploratory guitar outside of the jam scene, but you guys do that and write great songs. How do you succeed where others fail? BN: It comes from a long time of doing it. Doug is in charge, make no mistake, but he puts people around him that he likes to work with. It’s kind of mysterious, but the nature of the band is variety. It’s supposed to have a lot of different elements. We’ve done the same song several different ways, because we can. SD: Live, you stretch the songs out even more. Is that to give the tunes life beyond the studio?

good ethic as far as business stuff goes. It’s a matter of trust. Doug’s not whoring himself out on TV shows all the time; we don’t need to have everybody like it. We’re really lucky to have a fan base that’s big enough so we don’t have to do that kiss-ass stuff. SD: Having worked together for so long, you all must know each other in and out, musically speaking. How do you avoid ruts? BN: I think it’s something you do personally. You just sort of know when you’re sick of stuff. It’s harder not to steal each other’s stuff, to not start playing like each other. You have to keep track of what you are good at personally. Because at some point it all just sounds like a bunch of fucking guitars! But we have to remember all the subtle nuances and differences. It’s pretty cool, actually.

Boston-based Roots of Creation are the latest in a long line of bands to combine elements of reggae and improvisational rock. Their new CD, Rise Up, feaROOTS OF CREATION tures both guitar crunch and skankfriendly rhythms. The band makes an appearance at Nectar’s on Saturday, Sept. 30, with Riding Shotgun. With his whitesoul croon and confident machismo, front man Brett Wilson bears some similarities to deceased Sublime chief Bradley Nowell. Bassist Jay Felitto has a great tone, a chest-rumbling, dub-style splat. The band delivers a solid, if predictable blend that will no doubt satisfy those looking for deftly played progressive reggae. Oh, yeah, Vermont’s own Gordon Stone makes an appearance on the record. Whaddya bet he’s at the show? �

03 ATMOSPHERIC ANGST :: Burlington’s
The Static Age combine
sweet, goth-tinged pop with the terse rhythms of post-punk. The band, which sprang from the Queen City hardcore scene in 2002, has developed a robust national audience through steady touring and media support. The group’s Cureesque bass lines and dreamy melodies endear themselves to kids likely too young to remember the ’80s. But with swoon-worthy music like this, who can blame them? Vermont appearances are increasingly rare for TSA; don’t miss ’em at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this Tuesday. The show serves as a release party for their latest full-length, Blank Screens, and also features Read Yellow, A Place to Bury Strangers and Tell No One. 2x2-Kirschner092006

SWALE, WATERLANDING
THE OLEO ROMEOS, CHECK PLEASE
(Icebox Records, EP CD)
(Self-released, CD)
East Fairfield’s Oleo Romeos are unlikely to crack today’s pop charts, but they’ve got an old-fashioned peoplepleaser in Check Please. It’s a fun-lovin’ romp of a record, a throwback to the days when diners and swing joints dotted many a rural landscape. Guitarist/lead vocalist Tyrone Shaw — who penned nearly all the songs here — serves as bandleader. He’s backed by a cast of seasoned locals, including drummer Eric Belrose, guitarist/vocalist Jerry Bowers, bassist/vocalist Nate Orshan, and piano man/harmonist Doug Southworth. Guests include saxmen Gus Ziesing and Tom Steele, guitarist and engineer Andre Maquera and his vocalizing wife Wendy, Will Patton on bass and mandolin, and drummer Roy Cutler. The majority of the music on Check Please is rooted in twangy r&b. Pristinely recorded by Maquera at his West Street Digital studios, each song reflects Shaw’s genial humor and breezy songwriting style. An overly intoxicated paramour provides the inspiration for the opening title track. “I asked you on a trip / You’re already there / Standing outside naked / You had flowers in your hair / You said you’d ate some mushrooms / You wish you had some more / Honey, you were out to lunch when I walked in the door,� Shaw sings over some spry boogie-woogie. “Barbeque� extols the virtues of grilled animal flesh. “I don’t want no tofu dish / Don’t you give me no fillet fish / What you should do is give me barbeque,� Shaw sings in a bawdy baritone. Maquera’s beefy guitar solo nicely complements Shaw’s red-meat rant. The tempo slows with “Wise Men and Poets,� an existential discourse disguised as juke-joint balladry. “Are we made in God’s image to grow toward the light / Or are we just cosmic bastards with no wrong or no right?� Shaw intones. “Where do we go when we pass away / Who fired the bullet that killed JFK?� he continues. Wendy Maquera’s harmony vocals provide a comely counterpart to Shaw’s lyrical inquiries. “Dank Rider (Ridin’ With Tommy)� is a Shadows-style surf instrumental with tremolo guitar and bitchin’ turnarounds, while “No Jazz� finds the band waltzing its way through hilarious faux-lounge. The disc wraps up with “Condoleeza Rice,� Shaw’s confession of liberal lust for the Secretary of State. Maybe he should just send her a CD. Condi is a musician herself — dunno about her sense of humor, though.
CASEY REA
For a band that’s only been around for a few years, Swale have established themselves as leaders of a new Burlington sound — a smart fusion of art-rock and experimental pop. Keyboardist/vocalist Amanda Gustafson, guitarist/vocalist Eric Olsen and drummer Jeremy Frederick have all logged serious time in service of the scene. Their frequent live appearances swing wildly from psychedelic free-for-alls to tender, slow-burn ballads. But when it comes to making albums, the band takes its sweet time. Their debut EP Verdigris — which clocked in at a brisk 22 minutes — took a year to record. By the time it hit the streets in 2003, Swale were rumored to be at work on a full-length followup. Now, three years later, the tentatively titled A Small Arrival is finally on the horizon. To tide fans over, they’ve released a four-track EP called Waterlanding. “Armadillo� opens with a swelling drone, then recedes into pillowy keys, nocturnal guitar licks and brushed drums. “I’m watching Armadillos / on the TV,� Gustafson sings. “It is a uniform that some would say becomes me.� A powerful song about a woman’s struggle to open herself to the one she loves, it features an appropriately heart-wrenching solo from Olsen. The title cut might be the prettiest tune about a plane crash ever set to tape. During the song’s six minutes, Olsen intones a sleepy vocal over narco-haze accompaniment. The lyrics juxtapose reassuring safety-card sentiment with small hints of the craft’s demise. “Plastic headphones on the back / Of the ear / Through a crack / Air is leaking,� Olsen sings as sound swirls around his words. “Wasserlunding,� the record’s third track, is a remix of “Waterlanding� by Carrigan’s Zach Martin. It begins with a free-rock workout of chimes, plodding guitar and ominous drumming. Soon, the song descends into an electronic stammer similar to Thom Yorke’s recent solo effort, Eraser. The remix utilizes electro soundscapes that tickle the ear without compromising the original’s substance. The EP closes with a tune by Frederick. “The Down� is a moody piano-and-drum number featuring a mush-mouthed vocal steeped in autumnal gloom. The track offers further proof of the band’s collective songwriting abilities. Waterlanding offers the best of both worlds: a teaser EP that whets the appetite for A Small Arrival’s, well, arrival, and a collection that solidly stands on its own. Catch the release party at Parima on Friday, September 29. Swale will play tunes from the EP as well as the entirety of Lou Reed’s classic Transformer, the latter with an expanded lineup.

Knight I could be your Knight in shining fur! I am Knight, a handsome 3-yearold male Rottweiler mix. I am playful, rambunctious, affectionate, social, and confident. I lived a life tied outside before coming to HSCC. So I need to learn how to be an indoor, family dog including learning about proper doggie manners and house training. I do know ‘sit’ and ‘lie down’ already. I am bouncy and playful and need LOTS of exercise. A commitment to training is important because I am strong and not used to needing manners. I love to swim and previous humans said I love kids. So a family with kids 10 and up would be great. Let me run with them! I am goofy, wiggly, and sometimes overwhelming. There are certain areas on me that I am not fond of having touched. But, I have a gentle mouth and a puppy’s heart. Visit us at HSCC, 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday, from 1 to 6 pm, or Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. 862-0135.

“CHILD FIND” NOTICE Public school supervisory unions/school districts within the state of Vermont wish to inform interested parties that all people/children with suspected disabilities from birth through the age of 21, who might be in need of special education and related services, need to be evaluated and provided with a free appropriate public education. This notice shall apply to people/children residing in Vermont who are in day care centers, their homes, foster homes; people incarcerated in prison; children at independent schools, parochial schools, home schools; children who are highly mobile and those children suspected of having a disability even though they are advancing from grade to grade. This notice does not apply to people who have graduated from high school. The above mentioned people or children are entitled to a comprehensive evaluation to determine if their disability qualifies them for special education and related services to be provided through an Individualized Family Services Plan (IFSP) or an Individualized Educational Program (IEP). Any person who has information about disabled people, who fit these descriptions, should contact the supervisory union/school district in which the person resides.
The information obtained during the evaluation process and information obtained while the child/person is being evaluated or receiving special education services will be treated confidentially in accordance with the policies of the public school supervisory unions/school districts, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act 0f 2004 §§300.610-300.625 and with 34 CFR Part 99 which is the Family Educational Rights Privacy Act (FERPA). The protections which apply to the collected information are as follows: • Each school or center possessing personally identifiable information will protect it. • Personally identifiable information is kept on people eligible, referred or considered for special education services. • Parents have the right to know what types of information have been designated as directory information. “Directory information” means information contained in an education record of a student which would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy, if disclosed; it is the student’s name (unless the parent requests otherwise), address, telephone number, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height, membership in athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent previous school attended. • Parents have the right to know the types and locations of educational records kept by the school/center and the titles and addresses of officials responsible for the records. • A list of the names and positions of employees within the agency that collects the information who has access to personally identifiable information shall be available for public inspection. • If anyone other than an authorized employee of the supervisory union/school district looks at the educational record of a child, that person shall so indicate by signing his/her name, date and purpose for which (s)he entered the record, on a form which shall become part of the educational record. • Except as otherwise allowed by law, parental consent will be obtained prior to disclosing confidential information to anyone who is not an authorized employee of the agency collecting the information. • If a parentally placed child in an independent/private school is evaluated by the responsible school district, parental consent will be obtained before information collected during the evaluation or provision of services is released to the child’s school district of residence. • Information relevant to a child’s specific disability (example: medical information, intelligence test results, social or developmental history, comprehensive evaluation report and the individualized educational program) will be part of the educational record. • Personally identifiable information will be gathered from screenings, qualified diagnostic centers and other sources, as deemed necessary, to complete a comprehensive evaluation. • Parents or an eligible student will be able to access personally identifiable information and inspect and review their education record(s) no later than 45 days after the request is made. A copy of the information may be made available, if the parents have no means to come in and review it at the collection agency. A fee for copies may be waived, if it would be a financial burden and this burden would prevent a review of the records.

This written statement will become part of the educational record and will always be included whenever the contents of the educational record are properly viewed or requested. • The parent has the authority to inspect and review records relating to his/her child unless the supervisory union/school district has been advised that the parent does not have the authority under applicable State law governing matters such as guardianship, separation and divorce. • Parents have the right to a hearing to challenge the educational record of their child. • Parents will be notified prior to the school district’s destruction of personally identifiable information about their child. • Parents have the right to file a complaint with the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the supervisory union/school district to comply with this policy.
