< letters> IN DEFENSE OF TOURTERELLE [Suzanne Podhaizer] is completely off base [“Taste Test,” September 16]. Tourterelle is a wonderful place. Her review was all over the map, and her conclusions did not reflect the observations that she wrote about. The bouillabaisse was amazing, but you only recommend a burger? Where is your consistency? It is an amazingly beautiful restaurant, and all you wrote about was a squeaky door hinge? Not that I give these reviews a lot of weight, but this one was particularly off base. Spencer Taylor BURLINGTON

FLYNN’S FIRST LADY Merely a P.S. to Paula Routly’s lovely paean to Andrea Rogers [“Bowing Out,” September 16]. “Rogers rubbed certain people the wrong way.” Well, anyone who has done what Andrea has done would have to from time to time! What I wish to add to Routly’s toast is my profound admiration for Rogers’ ability (in contrast to rubbing people the wrong way) of tolerating fools, if not gladly, then most civilly. I have long admired this immensely ladylike stance, which has done the Flynn no end of service, along with her thousand other gifts and virtues.

I was a board member once and I recall a meeting, soon after September 11, in which a proposed Flynn-sponsored tour to Cuba was mentioned. One board member wondered aloud, quite seriously, if “we wouldn’t be seen to be supporting terrorists.” I left the board after that meeting because I couldn’t stand it (and felt I was letting both Andrea and Arnie down by my impulsive, possibly selfish act). I utterly admire and respect Andrea for not having stood up and shouted, “What pitifully narrow planet are you from, anyway?!” No one who did this, of course, could have achieved what Andrea has achieved. I can’t imagine the strength it takes to be in her position and keep her mouth shut when necessary, without compromising herself (an important point!). I salute her, her ardent passions, her intelligence, her dogged faithfulness, which have brought so many marvelous gifts to this part of the Green Mountains. She’s a rare, rare one. Marianne Lust

in Washington [“Man of the House: Peter Welch,” September 16]. I wish Peter would show a little more backbone, however, on votes, like standing up to the lynch mob seeking to cut all federal contracts with ACORN. Senators Leahy and Sanders will take flak for their courageous votes, and I wish Rep. Welch had stood up against the rush to judgment. Congress seems to need to hold hearings when there are

allegations of wrongdoing against corporations like Pfizer, Blackwater, Halliburton, etc. Why is there no due process when it comes to an organization that helps poor people, many of whom happen to be black or Hispanic? Will Hunter CAVENDISH

HURRAH FOR HARDWICK I just wanted to congratulate everyone in the area mentioned

in the article [“Hardwick Hits,” August 19]. You have all worked so hard to get the recognition. Would anyone believe that a town such as Hardwick … is thriving as it is today? I am so happy to be a part of the community. I have lived in the area for my whole life, with the exception of a few trips out West and to Europe. I remember Hardwick in more letters >> 16a

Last Wednesday on Blurt, our staff blog, food editor Suzanne Podhaizer broke the news that Tilley’s Café is being sold. The seafood spot on lower Church Street is closing its doors on October 3; owner Suzanne Johnson is selling to an as-yet-unnamed restaurant tenant (see page 5B). What’s a Tilley’s fan to do? If you’re feeling nostalgic about Tilley’s, or any of your other erstwhile favorite eateries, visit the Seven Days food forum. In July, food writer Alice Levitt created a forum topic called “R.I.P.” to memorialize these establishments. So what are Seven Days readers pining for? “The location was terrible and the cuisine wasn’t haute, but I still miss the Old Heidelburg on Shelburne Road,” writes “Undead” Molly Hodgdon. “I don’t know of another restaurant around where

you can get plain old traditional German food with no fusion or contemporary flourishes. The staff was always really nice, too.” “Here are my additions,” adds TonyO, “Sirloin Saloon: nostalgic place that in its day was a great place for a steak and a bottle of red wine. Christophe’s: the place had

“While I love Flatbread, sometimes I really just want to go to Carbur’s,” writes Moxie. “There was something about the variety of food, never knowing when someone would order the Queen City Special and set off a parade of staff banging on instruments, the Beers around the World, and Susie’s Sassy Sauce, that’s just never been matched by another restaurant downtown.”

Charlie’s With the Angels

I profiled Houston for a Seven Days story about elder activists in May 2007. I remember the first time he called, to invite me to lunch at his place. I arrived to find a charming old man, who was virtually blind, padding about a house filled with evidence of his adventures. With a little prompting, Houston would recount the stories himself: his near-death experience on K-2; the lab in which he explored human fitness at high altitudes; his efforts to launch a medical Peace Corps; his friendship with Phish keyboard player Page McConnell. Houston never lost interest in others. At one point he developed such a fan club of middle-aged women that it was dubbed, “Charlie’s Angels.” Charlie’s with the real angels now. Read more online...

Best Bites: 99 Asian Market It’s not often that I can say a restaurant opening has changed my quality of life, but since 99 Asian Market began serving prepared food a month ago, I have had more spring in my step. I can finally get a banh mi, made fresh just for me. What’s that, you ask? Only the greatest sandwich combination ever concocted. Picture a baguette spread with paté and butter, then stuffed with pickled carrots, lotus and cucumbers, meat, cilantro and jalapeños. On Friday night, I had an extra-special experience, when the cook cut up the largest pork ribs I had ever seen, prepared to a gloriously salty crispness, and used that as the meat in my banh mi. Did I mention it was still only $3? Friday nights are the best time to hit 99, as the staff has just arrived from the farmers market in Boston. This week, a cooler full of live blue crabs waved goodbye as they waited to be fried up to order.

NEXT WEEK, THIS AD IS HISTORY!

Vermont lost one of its most accomplished and compelling characters when Charlie Houston, 96, died on Sunday at his Ledge Road home in Burlington. A pioneer in Himalayan mountaineering, high-altitude medicine and international relations — he directed the Peace Corps in India — he was fully engaged in life until he left it. As recently as 2007, he was talking up universal health care on a Church Street soapbox.

s FairPoint Communications struggles to stay afloat, its Vermont competitors are beginning to circle. Burlington Telecom, one of the smaller sharks in Vermont’s sea of telecom operations, announced it is ready to fill any void left by a flailing FairPoint. With only 4600 subscribers and a data hub capable of serving at least 100,000 households, BT has room to grow. “The governor wants to expand broadband services in Vermont, and we have the ability to do it — right now,” said Jonathan Leopold, Burlington’s chief administrative officer. Do they? News of BT’s expansion comes on the heels of a failed 7-7 city council vote that would have given BT more public oversight, perhaps even making it a city department. Mayor Bob Kiss claimed any such scenario, with the inevitable proprietary business information, would have jeopardized BT’s competitiveness.

The worst-case scenario is BT would be forced to sell its fiber-optic system — valued at $75 million — to recoup losses. Most of BT’s “oversight” occurs in closed-door sessions, either before the finance board or the city council. But Kiss did not seek approval from either body about bringing BT to Vermont’s hinterlands. Although most councilors appear to support the expansion, it was news to them. Leopold said councilors will ultimately vote on a specific plan in the coming weeks, but BT was pressed for time: It wanted to raise the issue of expansion at a prior scheduled hearing before the Vermont Public Service Board. Why is BT going before the PSB? Because the city is in violation of two key covenants in its license to do business, known as a certificate of public good: It hasn’t laid cable past every Burlington home, and it hasn’t repaid taxpayers millions of dollars it borrowed this year to stay in the game. To survive, BT needs to expand. When BT launched in 2007, officials said it would take $33 million to fund its startup, rope in 5000 customers, run fiber-optic cable past all Burlington homes, and begin offering services outside the city. Leopold said those early figures proved inaccurate. With about 85 percent of Burlington’s homes able to connect to BT, and only 4600 subscribers, costs are approaching $50 million — $17 million of which taxpayers loaned to BT. Leopold expects it will take another $10 million to meet the telecom company’s initial goals. Where did all the money go? Tim Nulty, BT’s first general man-

ager, said his 2007 estimates were based on industry norms. He can’t understand how the city could have spent almost twice the amount originally budgeted. It’s also curious to note that both Leopold and Kiss opposed expanding BT services beyond Burlington when they first arrived in City Hall in 2006, something Nulty advocated. “The time wasn’t right,” said Leopold. Now, without an expansion, BT could go under — the same fate FairPoint fears. The worst-case scenario is BT would be forced to sell its fiber-optic system — valued at $75 million — to recoup losses. One of BT’s competitors, Comcast, is concerned about BT’s reliance on taxpayer money and whether it gives BT a competitive advantage. “Competition is good in the marketplace as long as everyone operates on a level playing field,” said Laura Brubaker, a Comcast spokeswoman. Leopold agrees. “Would I like to compete on a level playing field with Comcast? You bet,” he joked, noting that Comcast is not a cashstrapped startup but a multibillion-dollar company. Gee, whose pockets do you think are deeper? As a Burlington taxpayer, I’d rather not find out. Lead by Example —This week, the Douglas administration will begin identifying the actual jobs they plan to cut in order to trim $7.4 million in labor costs from the FY 2010 budget. The goal is to have a statewide list ready by the end of next week. Gov. Jim Douglas made a case for the cuts in the Sunday Rutland Herald/BarreMontpelier Times Argus in an op-ed titled, “Public Servants Must Lead by Example.” Douglas claimed the “union chiefs” want more money for state workers while Vermont is looking to cut $7.4 million. Let’s look at the facts: Twice this year the union has presented plans to trim money while minimizing the number of layoffs. The guv’s team has rejected these plans in favor of laying off hundreds of workers. To date, more than 650 positions have been eliminated, with as many as 300 more on the chopping block. As “Fair Game” has noted before, Douglas rejected the union’s recent offer to trim $7.4 million because the union wouldn’t agree to long-term cuts for FY 2011 and 2012. Douglas likes to claim that we have more than 8000 state employees who cost taxpayers $70,000 apiece when you add salary and benefits — that’s a $50,000 average salary plus $20,000 in benefits, by his calculations. Well, not exactly. First, there are fewer union employees on the state payroll today than in 2003 — at least if you look at the number of workers vulnerable to the impending purge. In 2003, more than 6800 toiled for the executive branch; today, the number is 6714. Compare that to the trend in

gubernatorial appointees: 520 in 2003 versus 600 in 2008. Second, the typical state worker makes less than $50,000 a year — it’s actually $45,000. Meanwhile, gubernatorial appointees earn roughly $66,000, and they get the same benefits as union workers. Speaking of “benefits,” when someone asks you how much you make, do you add up every single paid sick day, workman’s compensation claim, retirement check, subsidized health care premium and vacation week taken by every coworker and then compute your share of what was used? Me neither. That’s what Douglas is doing. You’d expect more from one of the highest paid governors in the U.S. Douglas gets a free driver and $14,000 in meal allowances on top of his $142,500 annual salary.

The Dean Machine — Former Gov. Howard Dean recently hosted a reunion at his Burlington home, drawing about 100 folks who worked for him during his 11 years as Vermont’s chief executive. “It was fun — lots of people I haven’t seen in a long time, lots of reminiscing, lots of light-hearted political junkies’ discussions,” said Attorney General Bill Sorrell, who was Dean’s administration secretary. Fun aside, Dean did make one serious announcement at the event, according to Kate O’Connor, his longtime political aide. “Despite the speculation, he had not gathered everyone together to announce that he was running for governor,” joked O’Connor. Maybe Dean isn’t running, but O’Connor is advising Senate President Pro Tem Peter Shumlin (D-Windham) as he mulls a bid for governor. “What happens if he does has yet to be determined,” she said. County Cluster@#$%! — As many as four of Chittenden County’s six Senate seats may be up for grabs in 2010, and

Boots isn’t buying it. “If you start cozying up to either the Democrats or the Republicans, you compromise your principles,” said Wardinski, who warns that such candidates “become another sheep in the pasture of major candidates.” What’s in a Name? — Vermont Republicans would love nothing more than to reverse the clock to the days when there was ostensibly one party: the Grand Old Party.

Few of them knew there was actually a socialist in the U.S. Senate. Of course, he was from the gay state of Vermont. MichAel Moore, filMMAker

— can claim an appearance in Michael Moore’s new documentary, Capitalism: A Love Story. Sanders also appeared in Robert Greenwald’s Outfoxed, a documentary about FOXNews and its ties to the conservative spin machine. In Outfoxed, Sanders talks about the need for progressives to fight back against the “right-wing noise machine,” as he dubs it. In Capitalism, Sanders uses his one-minute cameo to explain that U.S. culture too often values greed: worshipping millionaires rather than police officers, firefighters and teachers. Sanders’ appearance follows Moore’s claim that calling Barack Obama a “socialist” made younger voters become more curious about the term. “For example, few of them knew there was actually a socialist in the U.S. Senate,” Moore says in the film. “Of course, he was from the gay state of Vermont.” Sanders told “Fair Game” Moore interviewed him for about 15 to 20 minutes in his D.C. office. That got edited down to a minute in the film. To get the full, uncut version, head to Merrill’s Roxy in Burlington on Friday. Sanders will give a brief talk and host a Q&A after the 6:50 p.m. showing. He’ll also introduce the late show, at 9:30 p.m. Hold the popcorn.

more and more Democrats are lining up in hopes of claiming one … or two or three of them. Months ago, blogger and UVM prof Philip Baruth announced he’d make his first bid for the Senate. He’s now got competition from county Democratic chairman Mike Yantachka of Charlotte and former Burlington city councilor Andy Montroll. Labor activist Ralph Montefusco is “more in than out.” State Rep. David Zuckerman (P-Burlington) is weighing a run for state Senate or lieutenant governor as a Democrat. Party Principles — Horse logger and peace activist Boots Wardinski, a longtime Liberty Union member, is entering the race for lieutenant governor as a Progressive. Wardinski announced on the blog Broadsides that he’s running to earn the Progressive Party label because some Progs are considering bids for office in the Democratic primary. Specifically, Wardinski points to Rep. Zuckerman’s potential bid for office. Wardinski supports single-payer health care, closing Vermont Yankee, cutting off funds to Vermont’s national guard for military service, and legalizing marijuana. Zuckerman said he’s already a vocal leader on most of these issues, and Martha Abbott,

WEST POINT CADETS IN A 2008 TRAINING EXERCISE

ric Engler doesn’t have any military or law enforcement training, but he’s considered deadly with an AK-47. Lest anyone underestimate his marksmanship, he once shot five Marines in rapid succession in an abandoned Virginia prison. Actually, Engler’s “kills” were sanctioned by the U.S. military; he was hired to gun down his fellow Americans. Engler, 42, is the owner of Engler Custom Paintball Guns of Jeffersonville, a small defense contractor that makes and markets paintball guns and supplies. Because the weaponry closely resembles actual military hardware in look and feel, it has become an important training tool for the country’s armed forces. In the world of multibilliondollar Pentagon contracts, Engler’s company is small potatoes. His largest contract to date was one awarded several weeks ago for $82,132 to provide the U.S. Army with paintball gun packages. Unfortunately for him, the contract was contested by a competing vendor and will have to be bid again in the coming weeks. Nevertheless, Engler’s tiny machine shop, which is based in his home garage, is definitely on the U.S. government’s radar. It all started when Engler organized a paintball game at West Point several years ago. After the “game,” Engler was approached by several cadets who were interested in buying his authentic-looking weaponry. From there, his business took off. A number of federal agencies, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Rascon School of Combat Medicine at Fort Campbell, Ky., have since purchased his paintball equipment — mostly, to simulate real-life combat situations.

In the Virginia prison scenario, for example, Engler and several of his fellow paintball enthusiasts were hired as “bad guys” to help train newly minted Marines to

As Engler recalls, the Marines’ initial performances didn’t make the grade. “We wiped them out the first day,” he boasts. “It was bad, because these guys were right out of basic training, and this was their first experience working together as a team. So, we’d shoot the first guy and he’d fall down, and the guy behind him would fall down and we’d shoot him, too.” By the second day, however, the corpsmen started getting the hang of it, as they learned from their earlier mistakes to recognize potentially deadly situations. That was three years ago. Today, most of those Marines have since deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. “From what I’m told, their paintball training helped them a lot,” he says. “If we can do anything to save a life, I think it’s a great goal.”

or local law enforcement agencies. Engler’s not surprised, since most of his company’s sales are conducted online to civilian paintball enthusiasts. As he puts it, “No one in Vermont knows we’re here, except the tax people.” That, too, may be changing. Last month, Engler organized a paintball game in Colchester for 65 cadets from Norwich University. Although that may sound like a big game, it pales in comparison to other scenarios Engler routinely participates in. One, in Oklahoma, annually reenacts the D-Day landings on the beaches of Normandy and involves 2500 troops per side. For its part, the military has also begun to recognize the R&R value of paintball games. According to Engler, his equipment is now being used to help returning soldiers blow off pent-up energy and aggression. As he puts it, “Paintball is being used for a lot more things than the Army is willing to admit.” 

tatic between the owner and programmers of WCLX, the “Album Station,” has silenced the 10-year-old free-form rock station — on the airwaves, at least. License holder Dennis Jackson said he’s had to subsidize the station since December 2008, and wasn’t willing to continue to do so any longer. On September 9, he took WCLX off the air at precisely 5 p.m. That leaves the two programmers who built the station’s loyal following — Russ Kinsley and Diane Desmond — largely unemployed and figuring out their next steps. Neither would specify the amount of money in the dispute, but Kinsley said it was about the price of a new compact car. The decision has stirred up plenty of complaints from listeners, who have been flooding the station with emails and posts to its website, where Kinsley and Desmond are still spinning records. Kinsley said Jackson’s decision to pull the plug defies logic, as he and Desmond have been solid custodians of the signal and have built a loyal fan base of “music heads.” “Don’t count us out,” said Kinsley. In fact, Kinsley and Desmond are actively raising money on the station’s website. The pair hopes to collect $10,000 in an effort to get back on the air — somewhere on the dial. To date, they’ve raised close to $2000. Jackson said the station’s license is not yet up for sale, but could be sold if he can’t find a way to keep the signal on the air. “I’m open to all ideas,” he told Seven Days. “If he’s so open to new ideas, why wouldn’t he just have kept the station on?” asked Kinsley. “We wanted to work something out, but he just seemed disinterested and unwilling.” That’s a misrepresentation, said Jackson.

“I had been covering a lot of expenses, and I was led to understand that advertisers were not paying their bills on time, and I gave them until around Labor Day to ask people to pay up,” he told Seven Days. Jackson instructed Kinsley: “Tell them: ‘We can’t float this anymore.’” When the situation didn’t change, Jackson said he decided to cut his losses and take the station off the air. “To have him tell the story, one would be left with the impression that the advertisers had stiffed us; that’s not the case at all,” said Kinsley. Advertisers were paying more slowly than in past years, he said, which meant the station’s cash flow suffered. “We were sending him everything we could every month,” said Kinsley. Despite the move to kill the station, Jackson said he’s sorry to see WCLX off the air, and he knows his decision has upset plenty of people — especially Desmond and Kinsley. “It’s a wonderful station, and I know this isn’t Russ’ first attempt to make this format work in the Champlain Valley,” said Jackson, referring to Kinsley’s involvement in WEXP, aka “The Experience,” which had a 10-month life back in the ’80s. (Located at 105.1, it’s now KOOL-FM.) Kinsley was also instrumental in shaping 106.7 FM, which became WIZN, and WKLZ, at 92.1 FM. “If the Champlain Valley isn’t the place for an old hippie station like this, then there’s no place on Earth for it,” Jackson added. “I know there is a lot of acrimony around it. But I’m not sure anyone behaved badly; it was simply a business decision.” Kinsley is also embroiled in a dispute with the owner of a startup radio station in the Champlain Valley: Jeff Loper, a former partner in the failed WB Network channel

that took up residence in Burlington in the mid-1990s. Loper’s new venture — Convergence Media — made headlines earlier this summer by announcing it would bring back the popular morning show “Corm & the Coach,” featuring Steve Cormier and former UVM basketball coach Tom Brennan. It launches this fall on 107.1 FM. Kinsley claimed Loper failed to pay him for engineering work to get the signal up and running, and also reneged on a deal to simulcast WCLX on one of the radio signals. In fact, Kinsley said he brought the signals to Loper’s attention, and had hoped to buy them himself. He even had call letters assigned — WELX. Then, after months of benefiting from Kinsley’s engineering work, Loper, now the owner of the signal, changed the call letters to WNMR. Loper said he did agree to work with Kinsley to bring the radio signal — 107.1 FM — to life. But he said he’s not been totally pleased with Kinsley’s work or with how things have panned out in this “partnership.” “Basically, Russ brought me a license opportunity because he had it before him, and his backers walked away from it. The idea was, I’d buy it and he’d put programming on it and run the thing,” said Loper. Kinsley said the pair never had a formal business arrangement. Rather than have a stake in the company, Kinsley said he told Loper he just wanted to be paid. Without his work, Kinsley argued, Convergence wouldn’t be as close to going live as it is. The station should be on air within a few weeks. “I did a lot of work to get those signals up and running, and I didn’t charge him for all of the work,” said Kinsley. Neither Kinsley nor Loper would say how much money is in dispute. m

its tough times, when businesses on Main Street would barely last a year — if that — and some of them struggled and stuck it out only to be closed because of fire or water damage. I also feel that there are so many small farms and businesses in the area that are the roots, the foundation, the inspiration for all of this. To name a few, some of which have been around longer than I have: Hazendale Farm, Riverside Farm, Surfing Veggie Farm… Oh, and I almost forgot: This wonderful place called the Buffalo Mountain Co-op for decades has provided a doorway for all of the local farmers and consumers to … lay a foundation for a healthy and sustainable community. With bigname fame coming to the area, such as an article in Gourmet magazine and the filming of an episode of the “Emeril Green” show, let’s all remember who our neighbors are and how it all began. Thank you to all of the people who have worked so hard to put our community on the map, and to get the word out there that local and small are better, right? Miranda Hunt CABOT

LOVE ‘RED MEAT’ I feel the need to write in to defend the cartoon “Red Meat” after it was scathingly insulted in the “Letters” section [September 9]. While “Red Meat” may not be traditional, good clean humor, it happens to be hilarious and the personal favorite of many of my friends. It appeals to the kind of people who understand why Kurt Vonnegut and zombie movies are funny. I’m not sure [letter writer] Tom Simon has ever heard of dry humor, but I want to make it clear that just because a person doesn’t understand a joke doesn’t mean it’s not funny.

VERY VERDé I just wanted to say thank you, Seven Days, for recognizing Verdé’s presence in southern Vermont [“Stratton’s Secret,” September 9]. While I live in downtown Burlington and love the many restaurant options, I oftentimes observe that nothing I have had in Burlington compares with the caliber of Verdé’s menu. As a former employee of Verdé, I admit I am biased, but once you’ve had the best, it’s hard not to compare against. Verdé was and is, hands down, the best restaurant I have ever worked at. While I worked under the previous head chef, Bob Touchette, I did have the pleasure of working with Rogan [Lechthaler] on a few occasions before I moved to B-town. You can be sure that

during the holidays I will pay Verdé a visit and see what Rogan’s been up to. Dara Wentworth BURLINGTON

KNOW YOUR GUN LAWS This question appears in the article “An Essex Family Wrestles With Unanswered Questions About Their Son’s Recent Suicide” [September 2]: “Finally, why doesn’t Vermont have any laws governing the possession of handguns by minors?” I direct your attention to the following, found at the Vermont State’s Attorney’s website (http://www.atg.state.vt.us/issues/gun-laws.php): “Section 4008. Possession of firearms by children. A child under the age of sixteen years shall not, without the consent of his parents or guardian, have in his possession or control a pistol or revolver constructed or designed for the use of gunpowder or other explosive substance with leaden ball or shot. A child who violates a provision of this section shall be deemed a delinquent child under the provisions of chapter 11 of Title 33.” That took me 32 seconds to find. Jonas Hart CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA.

Hart was born and raised in Burlington. HAIR SHARE Thank you, Joe Shal of Hinesburg, for the “She’s My Barber” letter [September 9] relaying the message of an “apparently hurried story” for the August 26 article “Cutting Crew.” I felt compelled to write for the same reasons as Joe! I agree, it could have been a great story! The article had a photo of Jeff Wetmore. If the author had simply asked Jeff, I am sure he would have told him that he graduated from the only barber school currently in Vermont and that he was the first barber to graduate barbering in 2008 — our pilot year. Jeff is also on our advisory board. Also, Joe’s barber, Leigh, is currently a student instructor in this program at O’Brien’s Aveda Institute. A barbershop at the institute is very near completion. Guests may come here for a reduction in the price of haircuts. Students are being graded, so they may take longer, but the work is well done. AnnaMarie Charlebois BURLINGTON

As Allden explained,yOgA sometimes WORKSHOPS it’s difficult to identify torture victims. Exposure to extreme trauma doesn’t necessarily produce psychological problems, nor does the absence of psychological problems necessarily mean that someone wasn’t tortured. Allden emphasized that some of the most common forms of torture worldwide — beatings to the head, starvation, dehydration, sleep deprivation, and near drowning — may cloud a victim’s recollection of events. Allden also noted that Awolich’s observation about past traumas not revealing themselves immediately is consistent with her own experiences. Simply put, many torture victims have a delayed onset of PTSD. Major depression can take years to emerge. The conference didn’t just address the psychological wellbeing of torture survivors but also the caregivers who treat them. Dr. Kar“On the Marketplace” en Fondacaro, cofounder of NESTT and director of the Behavior Therapy and Psychotherapy Center at the University of Vermont, gave a seminar on recognizing and avoiding “vicarious trauma,” which can occur from hearing clients’ horrific stories day after day.

pitations and other symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. Their symptoms can go untreated for years because many new immigrants are unaware that services are available for them. Others don’t seek counseling due to language or cultural barriers, or are afraid of being labeled “crazy” “damaged” or “impure” by members of their community. Sometimes, problems associated with past traumas don’t show themselves for years or even decades. Abraham Awolich, who also shared his story with conferencegoers, recounted his arrival in Vermont in 2001 as part of the wave of Sudanese refugees who were labeled the “Lost Boys.”

The Chittenden County State’s Attorney’s office has noted a recent uptick in violent crimes among Vermont’s new African population, especially among survivors of brutal and bloody conflicts. Vermonters to a new organization called NESTT — New England Survivors of Torture and Trauma — and build a local network of professionals who are trained in recognizing and treating the physical and psychological scars of war. Organized by the National Partnership for Community Training and Vermont Immigration and Asylum Advocates, the conference was billed as one of the most comprehensive of its kind ever held in the United States. The original 100 attendee slots quickly filled, and another 50 were added to accommodate social-service providers from around the state, including doctors, nurses, lawyers, teachers and social workers. The response reflects the growing need for such services in Vermont, which has become home to more than 5000 refugees and asylees over the last 20 years. It’s estimated that between 5 and 35 percent of them are survivors of torture, rape, genocide or other atrocities. Although most refugees and other new immigrants adjust well to their new lives, some continue to suffer from major depression, anxiety, panic attacks, heart pal-

ara Mahmood tries hard each day to be a lighthearted person. But whenever the Iraqi refugee closes her eyes, she said she can’t avoid seeing images of her cousin lying dead in the road. Her cousin was gunned down while trying to buy milk for her infant child; her killers wouldn’t even allow the family to retrieve her body for burial. Mahmood also lost her father in the war; he died after terrorists prevented hospital workers from treating his wounds. Although Mahmood and the rest of her family resettled in Vermont a year ago, they all still suffer psychological wounds from their ordeals, she said, especially her brother, who cries whenever he talks about life in Iraq. “My mom still suffering from many, many pain,” Mahmood tearfully told a roomful of strangers in Burlington last week. “She does not know where that pain come from. Is it from getting old, or is it that she cannot forget?” The casualties of war can seem far removed from Vermont’s peaceful landscape. But Mahmood’s story, and others like hers, are grim reminders that many survivors of rape, torture, genocide and other atrocities live, work and attend school in our own communities. Mahmood was one of four recent immigrants whose personal narratives opened a three-day conference designed to introduce

“It’s a name I don’t agree with because, as you can see, I’m a big man now,” Awolich told the attendees. “And, I was never lost to begin with. I had to run away because the situation was too dangerous to stay.” Awolich said he feels fortunate to have adjusted to life in Vermont. But he acknowledges that some of his fellow Sudanese ex-pats haven’t been so lucky. Some, who’ve been in the United States for years, are just now starting to show signs of untreated past traumas. For example, Awolich said he has noticed more cases of children being removed from African households due to domestic violence or other crimes. Divorce is also on the rise. Such stories are consistent with reports from the Chittenden County State’s Attorney’s office, which has noted a recent uptick in violent crimes among Vermont’s new African population, especially among survivors of brutal and bloody conflicts. The scope of the three-day conference was expansive and highly detailed. For example, one seminar explored the benefits and challenges of working with foreignlanguage interpreters. Those chal-

Vermont Artists Join Japanese in an International EcoConscious Exhibit BY PAMELA POLSTON

urning Japanese? Not so much, but four artists from Vermont are certainly turning their sights toward Japan this winter. Janet Van Fleet, Riki Moss, Janet Fredericks and Sophie Hood have been invited to participate in an international exhibit titled “On the Planet: we will live on this planet” at a gallery in Nagoya, Japan, opening in January 2010. Curated by videographer Izuru Mizutani, the show was conceived in conjunction with the Conference on Biodiversity to be held in that city later next year. Accordingly, the Vermont quartet will install in the 1200-square-foot space individual works that speak to the diversity and survival of life forms on earth. Collectively, the women aim to represent the rural perspective; the other artists involved — seven from Japan and four

ast March, the Shelburne Museum invited eight artists and artisans from around the country to visit, choose an artifact from its collections, and make a new piece of art that the old one inspired. The results of that aesthetic challenge are sumptuously described in a 14-page feature in the September issue of The Magazine Antiques. The participants and their media were diverse: furniture maker, ceramist, painter, printmaker, glassmaker, jewelry/decorative arts designer and textile artist. The last, Richard Saja, has a current exhibit in the Kalkin House at the Shelburne Museum. The Antiques article, aptly titled “The present learns from the past,” explains that the group of eight was invited to stay in the Brick House — bereft of cell service and television — and roam the museum over a threeday weekend. Which really isn’t much time, when you consider the Shelburne is spread over 40 acres and encompasses some 150,000 items. But home in the visitors did. It’s no surprise that furniture maker Chris Lehrecke, from Duchess County, N.Y., was attracted to the hundreds of vintage tools in the Shaker Shed; his bentwood rocking chair based on a 19th-century sleigh is a modern marvel. The same could be said of New Yorker Ted Muehling’s oxidized-silver spoons — their handles sprouting acorns and bayberry branches — inspired by a pre-Civil War oil lamp. Glass artist Toots Zynsky may have stretched the furthest, at least in terms of medium. Her vessel “Cambré” is an upside-down version of the tutus worn by ballerinas in Degas’ “Deux danseuses.” That pastel piece is among the impressionist artworks in Electra Webb’s collection, and the subtle tones the painter incorporated into “white” are echoed in Zynsky’s delicate, glass-thread piece. That artworks — in traditional and new media —

continually evolve from their forebears is a central idea inspiring the Shelburne Museum’s contemporary exhibits. Will the works made by this invitational group appear at the museum? As a matter of fact, four have quietly arrived already, though they’re not displayed together. Zynsky’s glass piece resides, appropriately, in the Degas room of the Electra Havemeyer Webb Memorial Building. Elizabeth Berdann’s recreation of a Barnum & Bailey sideshow poster and miniature portraits on wooly mammoth bone can be found in the Circus Building. Sketches by Robert Cummings are displayed on the Ticonderoga. (One of his finished works, in Conte crayon and charcoal, depicts the museum’s lighthouse being carried aloft by a green dirigible.) Saja’s “Garden of Eden” embroidery, after the 1865 Erastus Salisbury Field oil painting of the same name, can be seen in the Stagecoach Inn. These four works are on view through October 25. According to associate curator Kory Rogers, the eight artists aren’t likely to be exhibited together, “but there’s a strong possibility we’ll see the other four next year,” he says. “At least we now have relationships with these artists and can work together in the future.” Stay tuned.

more Americans — hail from urban environments. “I think their work will be less environmentally explicit than ours,” predicts Van Fleet. “Not that we want our work to be didactic, but the meaning piece is important.” What’s the East-West connection? Van Fleet explains that part-time Vermonter Emiko Sawaragi Gilbert “goes back and forth from Vermont to Japan a great deal” and was approached about this exhibit by Mizutani, who has spent time at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson. Gilbert in turn connected Mizutani with Van Fleet. “He asked me to send him a list of people in Vermont who were doing environmentally related work, and he chose from that,” she says. Van Fleet’s circular “web of life” installations will be part of the Nagoya exhibit, along with watercolor “river maps” by Fredericks, odd biomorphic forms in mixed media by

Moss, and wearable creatures/costumes made from plastic bags by Hood. To mount three reciprocating shows in Vermont next fall — at Studio Place Arts in Barre, the Flynndog in Burlington, and the quarries at Millstone Hill — Van Fleet will switch to the role of co-curator, along with SPA director Sue Higby. She will issue a call to artists to contribute to what promises to be a sizeable collection of works from both local and Japanese artists. All three floors of SPA will be allocated to the thematic show. Meanwhile, the four Vermont artists need to raise some money — target goal: $5000 — to cover their trip to Japan. Stay tuned for word on several fundraisers in the works. 

PUBLISHING FOR CREDIT At last Friday’s opening reception for the Burlington Book Festival, two young authors — poet Christopher Lawless and playwright and humorist Alison Wisch — signed copies of their first published books. They were introduced by Tim Brookes, director of Champlain College’s Professional Writing program, whom Wisch thanked for giving her a “challenging and incredible learning experience.” Most colleges try to prepare students to write presentable, even publishable prose. But Champlain is doing something new: publishing its students. At Lulu.com, an online company that produces books using inexpensive print on demand (POD) technology, consumers can buy The Short Sweet Guide to Dialogue and Best Student Creative Non-fiction, both authored by the Champlain College Publishing Initiative. The paperbacks are designed to be used in college writing classes, but at slightly under $20 each, they’re cheaper than most commercial textbooks. That’s partly because they were written, edited, designed and marketed by students. Brookes says he got the idea last year during a meeting with his program’s advisory board of media professionals. As the board discussed the importance of keeping students up to date with new technology, one member scribbled a note and passed it to Brookes: It read, You should start a publishing company. An editor friend of Brookes’ offered similar advice and touted the power of POD: “You can go from having an electronic file to having a finished book in a matter of hours,” Brookes says. With advanced students providing most of the labor and Lulu.com doing the

In other news, the Shelburne Museum recently was tapped to receive the 2009 Award for Outstanding Commitment to the Preservation and Care of Collections. The honor is jointly presented by Heritage Preservation and the American Institute for Conservation of Historic Artistic Works. In the world of folks who keep old stuff alive for future generations, this is a big deal. Congrats.  For more info, visit www.shelburnemuseum.org.

printing and fulfillment, the project had low overhead. Brookes decided to “start small and local,” producing “books for use on campus where a course book didn’t exist,” he says. While most writing courses use anthologies of big names, Brookes is a proponent of using good student work as a teaching tool, calling the method “a conversation across a table rather than a lecture.” Now the CCPI is moving its production from Lulu.com to Manchester Center’s Northshire Bookstore. The store’s website calls it the first independent bookseller in the U.S. to own an Espresso Book Machine — a nifty new POD device that makes it possible to produce a whole book “right here — from printing to binding to trimming.” Northshire’s website is already selling copies of Wisch’s play 25 Squirrels and Lawless’ poetry collection East Slade, Maine, for $12 each. Lawless is a recent Champlain grad; Wisch a current student. In the past, POD self-publishing was a last resort for authors who wanted to get their work out there. But for the Champlain students, Brookes hopes, it’s the first step into a career. He says he’s been approached by a nonprofit organization and other colleges seeking to use his students’ production skills. When the books sell, the apprentice authors “are earning money, a share of royalties from this book,” says Brookes. “We’re treating them like professionals. It’s an education they couldn’t possibly get in a conventional classroom.” MARGOT HARRISON

VIEWS FIT TO PRINT When season brochures and newsletters arrive from our favorite arts organizations, most of us look at the pictures and read what interests us, but we don’t necessarily think: Wow, what a beautiful brochure! Nope, we pretty much take these printed pieces for granted. And that must be a source of chagrin to the graphic designers who apply talent and many hours to make them attractive, readable, easy to navigate and typofree. Luckily, it is someone’s business to notice. In the case of the Fleming Museum, that someone is whoever runs the New England Museum Association’s annual design award competition. The Fleming took first place for the second time for its newsletter “On View,” reports director INNING Janie Cohen in her intro to the current edition. DETAIL FROM AWARD-W R TTE LE NEWS Ironically, she explains, that winning design (last seen in the announcements of summer 2009 exhibits and programming) has fallen victim to the recession. “In these times of budgetary belttightening, it was necessary to trim our print budget,” Cohen writes, “and, although it’s hard to believe, the new design you hold in your hands represents significant savings for the Museum.” Hard to believe, indeed. The new brochure, whose cover is filled with a sumptuous painting from ancient Egypt, is not likely to be seen as a step down. While the old design occupied one large piece of heavy-stock paper folded multiple times, this one is composed of three sheets of slightly lighter, 10.5-by-12-inch paper stapled in the middle and folded in half. In other words, it reads like a book. One improvement was to put all affiliated exhibit and programming information on the same page; the center spread holds a calendar-at-a-glance, and the final spread reiterates events, lectures and classes with a little more detail. Who created the new look? “It was done in-house,” says marketing manager Chris Dissinger, who concedes after a little prodding that he was reponsible. Dissinger modestly calls himself “a graphic designer by necessity” and notes that the original, award-winning format was created by Michael Jordan of Ion Design in Burlington. But it seems likely that Dissinger’s former occupation as publisher of two daily newspapers in New Mexico helped train his eye. The newsletter “has gotten good feedback so far,” he says. Dissinger has been with the Fleming for four years. Maybe this piece will win awards, too. Either way, with info on two Egypt-oriented exhibits and one show of contemporary Cuban book artists, “On View” holds the alluring promise of a new season at the museum.

COU RTESY OF ELOISE BEI L

VISUAL VERGENNES

Another week, another art gallery. Seriously, it seems we’re always hearing about a new visual art venue popping up, and with the requisite “economy be damned” attitude. Then again, there’s never been a particularly great time to launch a gallery in Vermont, so why not now? This Friday, an intrepid group of artistentrepreneurs in Vergennes puts its collective toe in the water with the grand opening of the aptly named Creative Space Gallery. Tucked between the Black Sheep Bistro and Everywear in a Main Street CREATIVE SPACE GALLERY building owned by Deidre Barbeau, the venture is just the latest addition to a creative-economy renaissance in the “smallest city.” About a dozen artists, so far, are members of Creative Space — following a model similar to that of 215 College Gallery in Burlington — and they are applying for nonprofit status, according to spokesperson Eloise Beil. “The conversations just began at the beginning of August,” she says of the “whirlwind” development. “We wanted to get it together for foliage season.” Beil is a 22-year resident of Vergennes and the director of exhibitions and collections for the nearby Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. She suggests rotating exhibits at the new gallery will attract both locals and visitors. “We decided on our [evening] hours to make it accessible to people coming to town to dine or go to the Vergennes Opera House, for people who come in on their boats,” she explains. The gallery has three distinct rooms that will allow for overlapping shows as well as events — the group will begin offering art classes and related activities this winter. “We’ve already been approached by people,” Beil notes. “We’re open to ideas from both members and others in the community.” The gallery opens with a reception and group show this Thursday.

TSA’s Bend-and-Spread Policy

Airline security concerns have been raised by a suicide bomber in Saudi Arabia who detonated an explosive device concealed in his anal cavity. The bomber, a wanted al-Qaeda militant, pretended to renounce terrorism and repent in order to get close to Saudi Arabia’s deputy interior minister. In the August attack, the bomber obliterated himself, but the prince survived unharmed. “It does pose real issues for airline security if the bomb is inside the person,” security policy expert Carl Ungerer told Australian media, which noted that since a passenger tried to ignite a shoe bomb in 2001, air travelers have to take off their shoes to

but had a change of heart.” The car’s owner called police, who broadcast a detailed description, which mentioned a large, abnormal growth hanging from the suspect’s left ear lobe. Not long after, Robinson walked into the police station saying he needed money for a bus ticket out of town. The dispatcher recognized him by the walnut-sized mass on his ear. Officers who searched the two bags Robinson was carrying found sweaty clothes matching the robber’s, as well as step-by-step instructions on how to break into and hot-wire a car, with the boldly written recommendation, “Try this at night.”

Power Grabs Denver’s power company wants to charge solar-energy users for electricity even if they don’t use any. Tom Henley of Xcel Energy told 7NEWS that the proposed fee would level the playing field for electricity users who are currently subsidizing connectivity fees for solar users, who some months use no electricity. Henley later admitted no Xcel customers pay extra to fund connectivity fees and that the proposed fee, which would add $2 a month to customers’ bills, would all go to Xcel.

He said the fee is intended to ensure that down the road solar users don’t get free rides. • Wind farms can trigger false alerts of dangerous weather, warned the National Weather Service, which said the massive blades show up on Doppler radar as a violent storm or even a tornado. Weather radar operates by detecting motion and can filter out structures, including the 200-feet wind tower but not the rotating blades. “If you take a glance and then all of a sudden you see red, you might issue an incorrect warning as a result,” NWS science and operation officer Dave Zaff told the Associated Press. • Laptops, cellphones and televisions can be powered without electric wires or batteries, according to a company that has developed a system that sends electricity wirelessly. “Wires suck,” Eric Giler, chief executive of WiTricity said at the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford, England. “Batteries also suck.” The Times reported that MIT physicist Marin Soljacic developed the system using the principle of resonance to let two magnetic coils transfer energy. The first coil is connected to the home’s power supply, the second coil to the unit to be powered. London’s Institute of Physics, which tested the device and concluded it “had no detrimental effects on the human body,” stated its drawbacks are that only small appliances can be charged and they must be within 7 feet on a power-supplying wall.

First Things First When Kendrick Johnson, 32, got stuck in a condo

elevator in St. Petersburg, Fla., at 10 a.m., he waited more than an hour before deciding to call for help. Instead of calling 911, however, Johnson called his boss. She was in her car and drove to a nearby fire station to get help. Rescue crews arrived at 11:40 and freed Johnson by 12:30. Johnson is the building’s maintenance man.

Posse vs. Posse A sudden crime spree in Fox Creek, Alberta, (pop. 2000) stirred residents to form citizen patrols. So many patrols took to the streets that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said it had responded to several false alarms where one slow-moving citizen patrol group reported observing another slow-moving citizen patrol group acting suspiciously. A Thousand Words not Worth a Picture Yale University Press

decided to publish a scholarly book about 12 controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that sparked angry and violent protests when they appeared in a Danish newspaper in 2005, but without showing the images the book is about. The recommendation by two dozen diplomats and experts on Islam and counterterrorism the publisher contacted that it withdraw the images, as well as historical images of Muhammad, was “overwhelming and unanimous,” said Yale University Press director Jon Donatich. He told the New York Times the cartoons are freely available on the Internet, so reprinting them could be interpreted as gratuitous.

the straight dope

LOCAL

by CECIL ADAMS

all worthwhile human knowledge illustration: slug signorino

Dear Cecil, I play poker with this guy on a fairly regular basis at the casino. He’s got this medical alert dog he brings with him everywhere. Apparently the dog will warn him 20 minutes prior to having a medical emergency that he needs to seek help. How does the dog know something is wrong with him? R.K. Not that I would ever doubt what somebody told me in a casino, R. But how do you know the pooch’s alerts aren’t more along the lines of “This guy’s holding three of a kind”? Fact is, there’s no such thing as a general-purpose medical alert dog. Closest I know of is a dog that recognizes seizures, due either to epilepsy or, in diabetics, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). The experts distinguish two types of canine assistant. The first is a seizure response dog, trained to summon help or the like if its owner has an episode. Research suggests dogs do well at this task. The second is a seizure alert dog, which provides advance notice. Here matters get murkier, as the notion that dogs can sense a looming medical crisis is controversial. One case written up recently involved a diabetic farmer. While driving back to his house for lunch he’d often suffer hypoglycemia, which can lead to convulsions or unconsciousness. The farmer didn’t see the attacks coming but his dog, who liked to sleep on the seat next to him, apparently did: On numerous occasions over a 17-year period the dog immediately awakened and barked until the farmer pulled over and ate some sugar. Or so the farmer said. The problem with these accounts is, you’re taking somebody’s word for it. In surveys of dog-owning epileptics, many report their pets can anticipate seizures and warn them in some way — barking, licking, etc. Perhaps so, but it’s not like dogs don’t do a lot of barking and licking at other times, too. In any case, the dogs hadn’t been trained to do whatever they did; they just picked it up on their own. Even if we accept claims of talented hounds at face value, how would you teach other animals to recognize signs with no clear notion of what the signs are? No one has attempted to do more than speculate on what the dog is sensing. That is, if it’s sensing anything. Again, plenty of researchers are skeptical. One 2007 report tells of four individuals whose dogs allegedly could anticipate their seizures. On examination, the four were found to suffer not from epilepsy but from psychogenic nonepileptic seizures, or PNES. They didn’t have the chaotic brain activity of epileptics; to make a fine but crucial distinction, the problem was in their minds rather than their heads. One possibility raised: The dog’s behavior wasn’t a warning of a seizure but the trigger. Another research team reaching

a similar conclusion observed: “Without objectively clarifying if patients have epilepsy or PNES, the current literature fails to support that canines can warn of impending seizures.” So, I won’t say it never happens, but it may not happen much.

Loop Dreams Thunder Road’s Dylan Smith is on a fast track to NASCAR

Story Andy Bromage

Image Jeb WallaceBrodeur

acecar driver Dylan Smith is screaming around “Turn Two” at Thunder Road Speedbowl in Barre when his rear end skids, sending him into a wild tailspin. While the pack of cars behind him swerves to avoid a pile-up, Smith careens into the center of the oval. Then he manages to straighten out his late-model Pontiac and zooms back onto the straightaway. If he fails to qualify for the next day’s Milk Bowl race, it sure won’t be for lack of trying. Like other drivers at the central Vermont speedway, Smith’s a monster behind the wheel. He flies at 80 mph down the quarter-mile loop, employing nail-biter maneuvers to squeeze past competitors. Off the track, though, Smith is a mild-mannered senior at Randolph Union High School. At just 17 years old, he’s on the young side for stockcar racing. More notable, though, is the fact that Smith, who was born to a Haitian mother, is one of only two black drivers at Thunder Road. In a sport dominated by rural white folk, in one of the country’s least diverse states, Smith stands out. But unlike some NASCAR drivers who downplay their race — like Bill Lester, the first black driver to compete in a Busch Series race — Smith wears his skin color loud and proud. He even adopted the number “34” in tribute to Wendell Scott, the racing legend known as NASCAR’s “first black driver.” “I want to be known for being black and being a racer and showing that there is a way you can make it,” a poised Smith says during a break last weekend at Thunder Road. “Like Tiger Woods,” he adds. “Tiger Woods is a black guy in a predominantly white sport, and he’s the best out there. I’m making my drive toward that. I want to be the best and I’ll do whatever I can to make it.” This should help: Smith recently learned he’s in the running for a slot in NASCAR’s Drive for Diversity Driver Development Program, designed to attract more women and minorities to one of America’s whitest and most male-dominated sports. Smith was one of 29 selected from approximately 200 applicants to participate in the testing and evaluation program in North Carolina and Virginia. For four days in October, he’ll be bumper-tobumper with other young drivers who don’t look anything like Richard Petty. From that group, 10 will be selected to compete in a 2010 NASCAR racing series. “A lot of people don’t understand racing,” Smith says. “They think it’s a bunch of rednecks driving around in circles. You can say that from afar, but you have to get to the track and see the cars and hear the engines. It’s a rush.”

able, but nonqualifying, 20th-place finish. “Boy, his tenacity is terrific,” says Ken Squier, co-owner of Thunder Road. “He gives it everything he’s got.” Squier has seen a lot of young, skilled drivers come through Thunder Road, and says it’s too early to tell if Smith will be great or just good. But he notes that Smith leapfrogged two lower racing classes to land a spot in the elite American-Canadian Tour late-model championship class, an unusual feat for a driver his age.

I want to be known for being black and being a racer and showing that there is a way you can make it. Dylan Smith

Smith might be young, but he’s already spent more time behind the wheel than some drivers twice his age. He was 4 when he started racing go-karts at Thunder Road. “His lap times were within hundredths of a second of each other — he was that consistent,” says his adoptive father, Ken Smith of Randolph. Smith competed for 11 seasons with the Northeastern Kart Company, winning multiple championships. When he was 12, he won two of three races in the youth division at Riverside Speedway in Groveton, N.H., lapping the field in every race. He raced a three-quartersize car in the Allison Legacy series to a first-place championship in the north division.

He debuted this season at Thunder Road in the #34 Pontiac owned by driver Pete Fecteau of Morrisville. Today, Smith drives his snarling late model into the speedbowl for a long-shot run at qualifying for the 2009 Vermont Milk Bowl, Thunder Road’s culminating event. Heat one sees him advance from 16th place to finish 12th, picking up four places. Heat two looks even more promising, but after a few laps, it more resembles a demolition derby. One car careens over the edge of the bowl, slamming into a Jersey barrier. Another peels out from “Turn Three,” kicking up a plume of dirt. Smith spins out twice, but avoids the worst wrecks and pile-ups, whizzing past crushed cars to a respect-

When Ken Smith talks about his son’s talent, it’s clear he believes the boy is destined for greatness. The proud dad and his wife, Nancy, had spent all their savings on unsuccessful fertility treatments when members of their church connected them with an expectant Haitian immigrant who was seeking parents for her baby boy. The Smiths adopted Dylan on the day of his birth. Ken calls his son a “little miracle baby.” “It’s all part of a big plan that we’re just a small part of,” he says. “We get to rent him for 17 years, then we give him back to God.” Or maybe to NASCAR. When Smith graduates in nine months, he plans to pursue a full-time career in racing. School is “not my strong suit,” Smith concedes, so college is not in the plans for now. Getting picked for the Drive for Diversity program would give him a huge head start in pursuit of his greater goal: racing on the biggest stage in the world. “I hate to lose,” he says. “We haven’t gotten the finishes I was hoping for, but we got a 12th spot the other week, after starting from about 25th. We’re working our way up.” The journey hasn’t been easy — or cheap. Smith’s parents have invested significant time and money into their son’s passion. Racing this year cost Smith upwards of $20,000 when you include the car, entry fees, tires, fuel and pit passes. Sponsorships covered about $3000 of that, but the rest came from Smith’s parents, who work multiple jobs to support his racing. Ken works days selling used cars and paints houses on the side. Nancy works three jobs: at the post office, cleaning carpets and caring for an elderly woman. “It’s been a huge family commitment,” the elder Smith says in a short pit-stop interview. “Hopefully it takes him where he wants to go. The last thing I want is him sitting in a recliner when he’s 65 saying, ‘I wish I’d tried this.’ He’s going out and taking a risk.” m

glean Living

s fall’s chill descends and frost warnings pepper the weather reports, local farms begin looking more like wastelands than lush sources of food. But peeking from behind scraggly weeds or under rotting squash leaves, sustenance remains. In fact, according to the Vermont Foodbank’s website, “96 billion pounds [of food] are lost between production and consumption” each year in the U.S. The process of culling leftovers from farmers’ fields, called gleaning, is as old as agriculture itself. Several Bible passages actually mandate that growers leave the last bits of the harvest for “the poor and the stranger.” Some gleaning happens on a small scale — one neighbor approaching another about using her extra zucchini, say. On a larger scale, the Vermont Foodbank manages a project designed to bring healthy local produce to the food insecure. Theresa Snow, who founded the

The produce comes from 87 participating farms. Gleaning may seem like a harvest-time activity, but local programs actually operate from spring to winter. For the last eight years, Jen McGowen has managed the Intervale’s gleaning project, which now belongs to the Foodbank’s network. “We glean every Tuesday and Thursday all season,” she says, noting that most of the food comes from Digger’s Mirth and the Intervale Community Farm. “We’ll call the farmers the day before, and they’ll tell us what crops to focus on.” Once the fruits and veggies arrive at the Foodbank, surplus is processed so it can be stored and distributed during the winter, when fresh food is scarce. Items that can be used immediately are distributed to 300 sites around the state, including food shelves, senior centers and shelters, says Judy Stermer, the Foodbank’s director of communications and public affairs. Stermer notes that, because of the recession, many people who haven’t needed public assistance in the past are now food insecure. “The cost of living is such that [some] people aren’t making it anymore,

maybe living paycheck to paycheck,” she Aikido of Champlain Valley says. “Those are people we really need to reach out to.” Stermer stresses that food 257 Pine St. Burlington shelves don’t ask for proof of income: If (802) 951-8900 you say you need food, they’ll give you some.

That’s generally not a good idea, cautions Wool Plaid Jacket Snow. She points out that plants may be damaged when their fruits are plucked with Fanciful Fringe improperly. Plus, not all farmers have time to instruct gleaners on where they paired with can and can’t harvest. For those who want to fill the fridge Denim Leggings with fresh food but aren’t in dire financial straits, Snow has several suggestions. “We need to think outside the monetary box; there’s power in personal connection,” she opines. One option is to ask neighbors with big gardens or fruit trees if they have any excess, or offer to trade a service for some of the goods. “Say, ‘Can I help you ~ contemporary fashion & accessories ~ weed for a day?’” Snow says.

We can only hope that, as time goes on, more and more farmers will open their fields to gleaning, swelling the store of produce. Says Stermer, “Food banking began with the idea that if we were able to rescue just a little bit of what is wasted in this country, we’d be able to feed people 10 times over.” And she notes that, like all budget hunting, gleaning offers the thrill of surprise: “It’s pretty amazing to get down on your knees and dig through weeds to find spinach or blueberries.” m

Homeland Security wants eminent domain over a Vermont farm at the border by Lauren Ober Every day at 4:30 p.m., the Holsteins of Rainville Farm begin their amble down from their hilly pasture to the big red barn for their evening milking. The 90-milker herd rarely needs prodding by the farmer; the cows know the routine. The scene is so quintessentially Vermont, it’s as if the state tourism board orchestrated it for the benefit of passersby. Not far away, nearly at the end of the half-mile Route 235, stands a stout red brick building a few hundred feet from a simple barbed-wire fence marking the United States’ northern border. On a recent weekday afternoon, five cars in an hour drive south through this station — the Morses Line border port. Each bears right into the driveway to check in with a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer, who examines the driver’s passport and waves him or her along. That’s a lot of traffic for this sleepy northern terminus, which sees an average of three cars per hour, 43 per day, and 16,000 per year. Department of Homeland Security officials say that, without necessary upgrades to the tiny port, one of those crossings could allow danger into the country. Using money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), the federal government plans to construct a new and bigger border crossing. The Rainvilles’ Franklin farmland, which the family has occupied since 1946, surrounds the Morses Line border port on three sides. Its northernmost edge brushes up against the Canadian border. The federal government may invoke the doctrine of eminent domain to appropriate as much as 10.5 acres of the Rainvilles’ cropland, which an impact study calls “negligible.” Brian Rainville, son of farm owner Clement Rainville, says those acres are essential to the small dairy farm’s livelihood. Rainville first learned of the possibility that the border port would be expanded in late April, when a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers representative told the family the project would consume just three acres of their property. After that, he says, the family heard nothing about potential construction plans until two weeks ago, when he happened on a notice for public comment on the project in the St. Albans Messenger. Rainville can hardly hide his contempt for the actions of various government agencies that, he feels, neglected to

include his family and other stakeholders in the planning process. Now the Rainvilles are searching for answers, uncertain whether their 240-acre dairy farm will survive if Homeland Security’s plans go through.

If you’ve never heard of Morses Line, you’re not alone. The

two-lane sliver of road is not a popular way to cross the border. The ports of entry at Highgate Springs and Alburgh Springs see far more traffic in an hour than Morses Line sees in a day. Nonetheless, the structure here was slated for upgrade, along with 39 other Customs and Border Protection-owned ports of entry, after the ARRA was passed in February. Thanks to $420 million of ARRA funding, several border ports were fast-tracked for reconstruction, including four in New England — two in Vermont, one in New Hampshire and one in Maine. Brian Rainville doesn’t deny that the current Morses Line structure is inadequate to the needs of CBP. When it went up in 1935, no one could anticipate the role that border security would play in the post-9/11 world. The one-and-a-half-story colonial revival building does not have a holding facility, parking for government personnel or facilities for up-to-date communications equipment, and it doesn’t meet the Americans with Disabilities Act standards. If you didn’t know better, you’d think the place was a private residence and not a border port of entry. That won’t do for the Department of Homeland Security, under which the CBP falls. According to a DHS official involved with the project, who asked that her name not be used, the Morses Line port of entry and 22 other border ports are in desperate need of an upgrade. “They can’t do what they need to do now,” she says. This brings up a question: What do these micro ports need to do? Furthermore, why do they still exist? Brian Rainville says he would have expected

CBP to close the Morses Line port before spending $15 million to enhance it. But Middlebury College professor Allison Stanger, who is the director of the Rohatyn Center for International Affairs, says micro ports such as Morses Line play an important role in deterring international terrorism “These micro ports have not been secure,” Stanger says. “In the past, they just waved people through.” She believes they need to be seen as capable of handling a potential threat. Stanger admits it may sound far-fetched to think Al-Qaeda would or could smuggle enriched uranium through a border port of entry like Morses Line. But porous The draft borders are attracenvironmental tive to terrorist assessment for groups, she says. “If the Morses Line I were Al-Qaeda, land port of entry expansion that’s the route I’d is available until take,” Stanger says.

Those preliminary plans suggest that, through eminent domain, the government would be able to use a 10.5-acre patch of the Rainvilles’ cropland for the new LEED-certified building, which the DHS’ draft environmental assessment puts at approximately 4500 square feet. The plans also outline a rerouting of Route 235 onto the Rainvilles’ property.

The Rainville Farm was started by Brian Rainville’s grandfather, an enterprising farmer

with a third-grade education who moved down from Québec as a young man. Over the years, Wilfred Rainville accumulated five farms in Franklin County and became known as the fellow to go to if you needed a loan. Once the local parish priest asked

Rainville for a loan to fix the church roof. The farmer pulled out a box of money and counted out the requested $9000 on the kitchen table. On occasion, Rainville would check cars through the border crossing when an officer was busy. For the Rainvilles, dairying is a family enterprise. Brian Rainville’s 69-year-old father Clement took over the farm from his father and has every intention of passing it down to his three sons. Thirtyeight-year-old Tony Rainville currently manages the farm’s woodland and maple sugar operation. Craig, 32, has taken over the herd and crops. Brian Rainville takes

care of the farm’s 13 buildings, most of which were built before the Civil War, including his parents’ 1830 residence. Tony and Craig Rainville live with their parents in that house. Brian Rainville, a 36-year-old with a goatee and a ready smile, is the first of his immediate family to go to college. He recently earned a master’s degree in history from the College of William and Mary, so his interest in his family’s and the region’s farming heritage is more than a hobby. He couches his understanding of the need to preserve farmland in academic terms. Over the years, the family has had many offers from people looking to develop their property, but they haven’t entertained any.

“We’re the custodians of the landscape,” Brian Rainville says. “You never own land. You just take care of it.” Rainville’s views of land ownership could put him at loggerheads with the government’s national security interests, which seem poised to remove the family from their stewardship position. The family recognizes the need to cooperate with Homeland Security, says Rainville,

selection process. Senior Senate Democrat Byron Dorgan of North Dakota, whose state stood to gain $128 million for border improvements, told the Associated Press it defied common sense to put so much money into upgrading facilities that inspected “five vehicles an hour.” As a result of Dorgan’s and others’ criticism, Homeland Security set up a 30-day review of how projects were chosen.

fects.” Like most of the 15 Vermont border checkpoints, the Morses Line port building is considered historic by National Register of Historic Places standards. For the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation to sign off on the plans, the DHS had to agree to leave the historic border checkpoint intact and “explore adaptive use opportunities.” That means the current border port building will remain in the

Brian Rainville finds it ironic that a project funded by federal stimulus money has the potential to hobble a family farm. and they’ve done their best to be accommodating neighbors. Two years ago, the Rainvilles allowed local, state and federal law enforcement agents to use their property for a large-scale weapons-of-massdestruction drill. But the scope of the $15 million federal project concerns Rainville. He says he thinks a structure that large is unnecessary for the traffic the border receives: “The proposed footprint is just overwhelming.” A CBP officer stationed at Morses Line agrees with Rainville’s assessment of the scope of the proposed project. “It’s a bit much for me. A trailer would do just fine,” says the officer, who doesn’t want to give his name because he is not authorized to speak for the CBP. The Rainvilles and the anonymous official are not the only ones questioning the expansion of micro ports along the northern and southern borders. Two weeks ago, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano suspended new border construction projects after facing criticism of the project

This latest development has made Brian Rainville breathe a small sigh of relief, though

the Morses Line checkpoint project is still in the planning phase. Much is still unknown, but preliminary plans suggest the government is taking into account the historical integrity of the area, as well as the effect new construction would have on the Rainvilles and two surrounding properties. At most, the DHS would need 10.5 acres of the family’s cropland, where they currently grow hay for feed. For that the Rainvilles would be compensated at fair market value, says the DHS official, though it’s too early to talk numbers. Rainville estimates that the 10.5 acres are worth $500,000. Federal construction projects must meet certain criteria to ensure they do not adversely affect environmental and cultural resources. The National Historic Preservation Act requires that federal agencies study a project’s impact and take measures to “prevent or mitigate adverse ef-

middle of the Rainville property, and the proposed construction will occur about 300 feet from the existing checkpoint. Devoted as he is to historic preservation, Rainville is concerned about whether his family will be able to continue farming if an expansion larger than three acres goes ahead. At the moment, the agency is still determining how much land it needs for the project. A draft environmental assessment required by the DHS outlined the potential impact on the Rainvilles’ property. The purchase of 10.5 acres for a 4500-square-foot structure is a maximum projection, not the final size and scope of the project, the DHS official says. That is something the federal agency failed to communicate to the Rainvilles. Senator Patrick Leahy’s office is now working with CBP and the family to make sure everyone is up to speed. David Carle, Leahy’s press secretary, says the plans outlined in the environmental assessment reflect a standard port and roadway design, not the actual design. No one argues with

the need to replace a border facility that is now more than 70 years old, but it needs to be right-sized for the purpose and location. Both Leahy’s office and the DHS admit that not enough was done to keep the Rainvilles in the loop, and both have pledged to maintain better communication. “We thought this was just a concept,” Brian Rainville says of the delayed notification. “We thought we would have been consulted.” And the Rainvilles are still worried about that 10.5-acre figure, “maximum” or not. The federal environmental assessment of the project found that the removal of 10.5 acres from agricultural use would be “considered minimal conversion of land in the context of available agricultural acreage in Franklin County, which is approximately 180,000 acres. Therefore this would be a negligible impact.” In another part of the report, Homeland Security finds “the direct impact of acquisition will be relatively minor given the location of the new station in what constitutes a small area in the northeast corner of the extensive acreage that makes up the farm.” While the Rainvilles do own “extensive acreage,” as the study puts it, much of that is pasture or woodland. The Rainvilles have no extra cropland that is not in production. There is no available farmland close by to purchase, and it is not economically prudent for them to buy hay from another farm. With 60 acres of cropland currently in production, a loss of 10.5 acres would be substantial. Brian Rainville scratches his head as he discusses the government’s take on his family’s property. He says he finds it ironic that a project funded by federal stimulus money has the potential to hobble a family farm. If the Rainvilles cede 10.5 acres to the DHS, he doesn’t think they’ll be able to make it. “If this thing goes through, we’re done,” Rainville says. “Everything would go to auction. We’ve worked too hard to have this undone.” m Got a comment on this story or a suggestion for another one? Contact Lauren Ober at lauren@sevendaysvt.com.

ristin Borquist is kicking my butt. Well, almost. I’m lying face up in a New Agey studio above the Flying Pig Bookstore in Shelburne, and Borquist is tugging on my foot while kneading my hamstring muscles with her own feet. But it actually feels good. Great, in fact. I’m about 10 minutes into an initial session of Thai yoga body work, an ancient practice that has begun to appear at spas, gyms and studios across the United States. Borquist has touted an upcoming Thai yoga workshop on October 24 at Burlington’s Touchstone Healing Arts as her “wee contribution to world peace,” and I’m here to see if there’s anything to it. World peace would be great, but right now I’ll settle for some personal destressing. During my very infrequent visits to the spa, masseuses sigh emphatically over my inability to relax. In the even more unusual event that I attend a yoga class, I’m less like a pretzel than a stale baguette. But Thai yoga “will open up new possibilities of movement,” Borquist has promised me. “I’ve never worked with anybody who didn’t find out they were a much more capable person after Thai yoga.” Thai yoga bodywork (also known as Thai massage) dates back some 2000 years. Along with its Thai origin, it has Indian and Chinese roots, and is based on Buddhism,

Ayurvedic medicine and standard yoga. Unlike traditional massage, Thai yoga is more about releasing energy than simple relaxation. To the outsider, it looks like a push-me, pull-you series of contortions on a mat. But to the practitioner and client, it’s a carefully constructed system of stretching, rhythmic massage, acupressure and yoga moves. “It really affects the quantity and quality of blood flow and oxygen in the body,” says Borquist before our session. “If you’re an athlete, your performance improves, and general health improves because that’s how our bodies take in nourishment and get rid of things we don’t need anymore.” Borquist, who has been practicing massage in Chittenden County for about 20 years, got hooked on Thai yoga bodywork eight years ago, she says. “I wanted to do something that would bring about a particular change in the body and engage health in an active way.” After studying Thai yoga in Vermont and Massachusetts for four years and gaining certification in the practice, Borquist began offering it to clients, who rave about the twist on traditional massage. A sixtysomething Shelburne therapist and regular Pilates practitioner tells me that Thai yoga has improved her balance and posture. Another fan, Meg Berlin of Charlotte, says she can feel the

SEVEN DAYS | september 30-october 07, 2009 | feature 29A

“wonderful and amazing sensation” of blood and energy flowing through her body. “While Swedish massage often feels like a reciprocal dance where the body worker has an intuitive sense of where to go and what to do,” says Berlin, “Thai body work for me feels more meditative and prescribed. There is a very regular rhythm and flow to her movements, and she works her way through the system with clear intent and motions.”

and shoulders to deal with the repeated and restricted motions of cello playing,” Dunlop says. “I’m able to play longer without discomfort because of the work.” Burlington-based interior designer Rose Ann Humphrey is another enthusiast who says Thai yoga bodywork has changed her life. “I almost feel it to the very marrow of my bones that something is going on,” she says. “It’s helped me become whole; it’s had an

It really affects the quantity and quality of blood flow and oxygen in the body. KrisTin BorqUisT

Deft motion is also a professional necessity for Vermont Symphony Orchestra cellist and principal player John Dunlop of Jericho Center. He says seeing Borquist for Thai yoga has helped him run, cycle and kayak better — not to mention improved his playing. “She pays particular attention to my arms

enormous impact on my professional life, and even my diet is better.” Thai yoga doesn’t come quick, or cheap: Private sessions last an hour and 45 minutes and cost $135. That’s one reason Borquist decided to offer one-day workshops in the practice. For $95 each, as many as 20 students can absorb the

basics of Thai yoga bodywork and learn to give it to someone else. “I love the idea that this kind of bodywork is so accessible to everyone,” says Borquist. “It’s clothed, for one thing; it’s good for the person who’s giving it as well as for the person who’s receiving it; and it demystifies the bodywork thing. It’s great to have a professional massage, but it’s really nice to have 15 minutes with somebody you care about. All you need is a floor and a few techniques, and it’s free.” So far, Borquist has offered four Thai yoga teaching workshops. She says one couple now has a regular Wednesday Thai evening, and parents and kids have connected through the bodywork. Midway through my session with Borquist, I’m beginning to see, or rather feel, her point. Though it starts kind of awkwardly — I’m not sure whether to keep my eyes open or closed, and my stiff legs make Borquist repeat “heavy knee” to get me to relax — I eventually chill out and enjoy the movement. Deep massage alternates with slight acupressure on my wrist and temples and supported yoga postures like the fish pose. The experience is both relaxing and invigorating; when we’re finished, Borquist tells me, “You look all sparkly.”

I feel pretty sparkly, too, with a tingling from the tips of my ears to my toes. The next day, my regular 6-mile run seems lighter and easier; I do, actually, feel more capable. I’m even inspired to take a regular yoga class, during which I find myself more pliable than usual. Maybe not a pretzel yet, but not a baguette, either. After a hard day of interval training, however, my hamstrings are strung tighter than Dunlop’s cello. I ask my husband to try the Thai yoga musclekneading movement with his feet. “You are so weird,” he says. Sounds like we could benefit from the workshop. To be honest, after spending the day with my two little kids climbing all over me, I’m usually ready to spend any free 15 minutes vegging out in front of the TV by myself. But now I’m ready to believe the world can be a more peaceful place with regular Thai yoga practice. “It’s a normal thing to do,” Borquist says. “We all need and want to be touched, and it’s fun to do with somebody — it doesn’t have to be serious. Thai yoga is about inviting centering and grounding to the body. And when we get reminded of that, everything else goes a little more smoothly.” m

arce is one of the theater’s oldest and sweetest treats: over-the-top comedy, with absurd plot twists and exaggerated characters. The ancient Greeks yukked it up to Aristophanes’ critter-filled capers; Victorians guffawed at Oscar Wilde’s drawing-room delights. These farces still engage and entertain today because fastpaced, witty dialogue supports the frivolity. And, despite surface silliness, the plays contain lasting insights into what makes people tick. Ken Ludwig’s Leading Ladies (2004) fails to live up to the genre’s lofty standards of levity. In an interview about the play, the lawyer-turned-playwright claims to have been influenced by “the great screwball film comedies of the 1930s and ’40s.” Rapid-fire repartee makes those scripts sing, but Ludwig only manages the occasional zinger. A few clever lines cannot salvage the tired plot, uninspired characters or plodding pace of his two-and-a-halfhour-long show.

mArCel FreDA AnD jAmeS Derienzo

Nonetheless, a giant “E” for effort goes to the Waterbury Festival Players’ current production of Leading Ladies. The energetic cast and crew make the most out of a thin script. The actors gleefully play to the audience without allowing their performances to become hammy. Director George Pierce adds savvy touches for comic emphasis — one character uses a tube of lipstick as a rather effective (and funny) sexual metaphor, for example. Ed Demler’s well-designed sets and Catherine Vigne’s polished costumes add considerable visual interest as they support the storytelling. Ludwig sets the play in 1958, in his real-life hometown of York, Penn. Two hack-tacular English actors, Leo Clark (James DeRienzo) and Jack Gable (Hugh Davies), tour the Moose Lodge circuit performing cringeworthy Shakespeare. They learn that a dying wealthy woman, Florence, is searching for her lost nephews, who moved to England as children. Light bulb! The impoverished thespians plan to impersonate the missing men and inherit the millions. Wrinkle! Actually missing are nieces Maxine and Stephanie. So brawny, hairychested Clark and Gable — gratuitous pun! — show up in drag to get the dough.

She shows how Meg gradually gains confidence as her 1950s deference and propriety give way to the demeanor of a smarter, more assertive woman. As Florence, Ramona Godfrey eagerly embraces the mannerisms of the crotchety aunt who continues to inconvenience others by remaining undead. Her grating voice and hunched gait seem charming only to roller-skating airhead Audrey, played with mixed results by Andrea Pray. Pray effectively captures Ludwig’s onedimensional, somewhat offensive portrait of a bimbo. But she sometimes struggles with adequately projecting her voice and making her speech feel natural. All five male actors have outstanding moments. Leo and Jack spend a lot of their 2x3-Girlington093009.indd 1 9/25/09 10:05:29 AM time in drag. James DeRienzo and Hugh Davies dive into the dress-up, looking remarkably like Alec Baldwin and David presents Hyde Pierce outfitted for an Academy Awards show skit gone horribly wrong. Davies demonstrates Jack’s reluctance and shock with deer-in-the-headlights eyes, while DeRienzo shows Leo’s self-possession by his casual aplomb strutting the stage in pumps. Ludwig gives the best lines — antitheater inside jokes — to the prissy Reverend Duncan. Michael LeMay digs into them with relish, since snide condescension is just about the only diversion this uptight fuddy-duddy allows himself. Walt Levering, as Doc, bickers wonderfully with his patient who refuses to die, and dispenses hilarious fatherly advice to his son. His bold comedic body language works well, although the volume of his Yeol Eum Son of Korea is the 23-year old Silver Medalist and also the voice sometimes falls short.

Thank you,

Press-Republican! The Plattsburgh Press-Republican has skillfully printed, inserted and bundled Seven Days since May 2003. Always on time — even when we were not — the PR has been a great partner and consistently provided outstanding customer service. Due to our ever-expanding needs, Seven Days will be changing printers beginning next week. But first, we’d like to extend our deep appreciation to our friends at the Press-Republican. In particular we would like to recognize the individuals with whom we have worked most closely over the past six years: Dan Thayer, Mike Gallagher, Amy Putman, David Strack and John Cech. And there were countless others we never got to meet, who worked the press, inserted the sections, bundled the stacks, and shipped our paper on the ferry from Plattsburgh. We wish you all the very best.

Meal in a Pinch Local dumpling doyennes share their secrets Hong’s chinese Dumplings. corner of church and cherry streets, Burlington. See @hongsdumplings on twitter for hours.

rom Georgian khingali to good old American chicken with Bisquick “dumplin’s,” nearly every culture has a take on the dumpling. So why do our minds tend to dig to China when we hear the word? To understand the enduring appeal of Chinese potstickers — or jiaozi in Mandarin — I met with two of Vermont’s top dumpling makers to learn the secrets of the craft. One, Hong Yu, sells her wares from the Hong’s Dumplings cart on Church Street. The other, cooking-memoir author and teacher Linda Furiya, works with retailers to find markets for her frozen version. They may not have much in common, but both women learned their skills in China. Yu, 51, arrived in Burlington in 1996, having recently closed her “very small dumpling house” in her native Harbin, a northeastern city with a strong Russian heritage and a proclivity for exotic seafood. When I join her at her cart in front of Borders, she is wearing a velvet jacket and geometric-print scarf. Her straight dancer’s posture and elegantly tied-back hair give her the air of a Chinese Catherine Deneuve, in jarring contrast to her hands-on vocation. After shaking my hand, Yu instructs me to rub my hands with Lysol 4-in-1 disinfectant wipes from her economy-sized tub, then rinse in the tiny sink installed in her cart, which she purchased from another Chinese ex-pat nearly a decade ago. Its every crevice is crammed with plates, utensils and plastic bags. Besides the sink, the small work area includes a couple of burners and a cramped, foil-covered counter where Yu rolls out the dough for her cooked-to-order dumplings. Despite the ever-present layer of flour — even her black canvas chair is white in places — Yu’s liberal use of the disinfectant wipes indicates she’s serious about health concerns. Yu insists that I try one of her chickenand-cheese dumplings before I make my own.

I end up eating three of the fist-sized hot pockets. As Yu puts it, “My dumplings are a little bigger for American appetites. They just want bigger, bigger, bigger.” American proclivities explain the very existence of her chicken-andcheese creations, as well. “A lot of Americans no like pork,” she says. To satisfy her customers, Yu concocted a filling of chicken with scallions, sesame and ginger, but for the fatty creaminess that poultry alone can’t provide, she threw in tiny cubes of cheddar. The result? An only-in-Vermont hit. “I’ve been making dumplings since I was

a tiny little girl,” says Yu. It shows in her easy, matter-of-fact style. She speedily mixes what she calls a “flour dough,” describing the necessary texture as “not too hard and not too soft.” Yu rolls the finished mixture into a long, thin log, then pulls off inch-long pieces as if she were making gnocchi. Each of these will become a dumpling. Using a tiny wooden rolling pin, she flattens one end, rolling only from the ball to the heel of her hand. She holds the other end with her other hand to stretch the dough to the appropriate size and thickness, but leaves a chubby pocket at the center to prevent tearing. Yu instructs me to make an O shape with my hand, then deposits the dumpling skin there with its plump middle in the hole. I take the wooden spoon sitting in the chicken-and-cheese mixture she has prepared and carefully place a portion in the dough. “I like to put more, so more taste,” says Yu. When a dumpling is overfull, she merely pulls the crimps a little tighter when closing it. This process begins at the center and moves outward until the pastry is completely sealed. After my first couple of tries on my own, Yu smiles. “Yeah, you so smart! When I started I made ugly. Look how beautiful!” Yu, who currently sells her dumplings only during the warm months, says, “Every day I eat dumplings. When it’s winter and I’m not here, I miss it.” An American citizen for eight years, she hopes one day to open a small dumpling house in Burlington, noting, “Obama gives small businesses money.” While Yu toils on the street, Furiya makes her vegetarian Yum Dragon Dumplings — which are sold at local specialty food stores — in her comfortably appointed home kitchen. A kitschy statue of Mao Tse Tung stands at a window overlooking her garden, holding Furiya’s dishwashing gloves over his porcelain head. While Yu’s work space is caked in at least a day’s

Linda Furiya’s Boiled Meat Dumplings (Shui Jiao) Makes about a dozen dumplings Flour Dough 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/3 cup water plus 1 tablespoon Filling 1/3 pound fatty ground pork 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced 1-inch piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped 2 teaspoons sesame oil 1 tablespoon sake or Chinese Shaoxing wine 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce 1/4 teaspoon white pepper 2 teaspoons water Put flour in a medium-sized bowl, then add water. Combine the mixture using your fingers. Gather the dough into a ball and turn out on a generously floured board. Knead for 3 or 4 minutes or until the dough appears smooth. It should be firm but not flaky and hard. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine all the filling ingredients. With clean hands, squeeze mixture until the meat and other ingredients are thoroughly combined. Set aside. With clean hands, roll the ball of dough into a thick, 9-inch-long cylinder. Cut this in half and set aside one half, wrapping it in plastic. Using hands, roll out the remaining cylinder into a thinner cylinder about 6 inches long. With a knife, cut sections about 1.5 inches long. Roll into balls and set aside in a row. On a floured board, use a rolling pin to roll one piece into a 3.25-inch circle. In the center of the circle, place about a tablespoon of meat filling. Fold the dumpling into a semicircle and pinch the edges together to form a seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Place dumplings on plastic-covered baking sheet. At this point, you can freeze the dumplings by putting the tray in the freezer. When they are solid, put dumplings in a Ziploc bag and return to freezer. When ready to cook: In a large pot, bring 3 to 4 quarts of water to a boil. Drop in the dumplings one at a time. Stir gently to prevent sticking. Bring water back to full boil, then reduce heat to medium high and cook for about 5 minutes, or until dumplings float to the top and the middles are cooked through. Gently scoop out dumplings with a wire strainer or slotted spoon and arrange in a dish. Serve with a dipping sauce made of one part rice vinegar and one part soy sauce. Add grated ginger or sliced green onion to taste. For additional flavor, add a drop or two of chili oil or sesame oil.

worth of flour and bits of dough, Furiya’s black granite countertop is pristine. Nonetheless, she doesn’t have the necessary setup to incorporate meat in the products she sells. (The state has rigorous standards for home kitchens used to prepare food for commercial purposes: Yu briefly had to close her cart last summer while she obtained certification for the kitchen where she prepares fillings.) According to Furiya, a more lived-in kitchen is perhaps more authentic. She describes the cooking school she attended for six months in Shanghai as “a very dirty facility” — one where “85 percent of the people in the room were smoking” and the teacher was “chain-smoking throughout the entire class,” says Furiya, who was pregnant at the time. In her six years living in China, the Indiana native took the opportunity to learn traditional arts such as wushu as well as cooking. At the vocational cooking program, she says, knife skills were the top priority. “We learned a lot about how to cut vegetables into attractivelooking things, and squid into squiggle designs,” she explains. While dumpling making was taught only as a weekend elective, Furiya says she managed to master numerous dim sum dishes — including the xiaolongbao, which she calls “basically, the known dumpling for Shanghai.” Translated as “little dragon dumpling,” the xiaolongbao contains more liquid than your average pork pastry. Though gelatin (which melts during steaming) is often added to create an explosion of hot soup with the first bite, Furiya’s safer version relies on water and lots of pork fat. To seal in the moisture, she tightly winds the skin in a circle of pinches around the top. Why the name? “It’s supposed to be like dragon meat,” Furiya only half jokes. “They’re a very powerful creature, supposedly. [The Chinese] eat things because it’s going to give them virility or strength.” (The association with health and hardiness could come from the ginger found in many Chinese dumplings: “My family always eats it so the body is powerful and hot,” Yu explains.) At cooking school, Furiya learned that the secret to creating the perfect dough is “to just coat the beads of water [with flour], >> 07B

Generally speaking, a restaurant that loses its liquor license is . . . out of business. When Burlington city councilors voted last Monday night to revoke the one at Avenue Bistro in the New North End, because the owners were behind on their taxes, co-owner and operator Susan Luce made the tough decision to shutter her restaurant for good. “I owe the city $3900 and they closed me down. I’m out of business. Seventeen people are out of work,” she laments. How did something so drastic happen over such a small sum? Luce admits that last spring she’d worked out a plan to get caught up but hadn’t been able to stick to the terms. Given the economy, “I bit off more than I could chew,” she says. Last Thursday, the council gave her a final warning. She and Jonathan Leopold, B-town’s CAO, had to come up with a new plan that Luce could manage. Late the next day she called his office, she says, but Leopold didn’t get the message. At 3 p.m. on Monday, Luce, a single mom, was picking up her son at school and heading to her 50th birthday party. That’s when she got a call from Leopold’s assistant asking if she could be at his office in an hour. “Not knowing they were going to decide the fate of the restaurant” that evening, she says, she scheduled a meeting for Wednesday morning instead. “I thought I was within the confines of working out what we could work out,” she says. City Councilor Clarence Davis, head of the commission in charge of renewing — and revoking — liquor licenses, has a different take on the situation. In last Thursday’s meeting, he says, “we were very clear with her that she needed to have an approved plan in place” by Monday night. Contacted by phone, Leopold points out that as Luce fell further and further behind on her previous payment plan, she never contacted his office to come up with a viable alternative. Davis — who says the vote to revoke Avenue Bistro’s license was “not an easy decision” — also notes that if Luce had gone forward with creating a new payment plan, the council was willing to expedite the process of returning her license. But with a third of her revenue stemming from alcohol sales, Luce was convinced she couldn’t make it without the license, even for a few weeks. “I had employees jumping ship,” she says. They reasoned their tips would suffer too much if they couldn’t sell alcohol. The restaurant is now on the market. On Avenue Bistro’s last day of business, Luce’s regular customers came in to say goodbye: “People brought flowers, people cried, they said it was the core of the neighborhood. It blew my mind the place touched so many people’s lives.” Alexander’s Pub, the bar located inside the Lincoln Inn at Five Corners in Essex, has served its last pint of beer … almost. The building, including the bar, is owned by a property management company called McEwing Services. According to Director of Operations Kerry Aliesky, owner Alex McEwing “made the decision that he wanted to close the bar and focus on his other endeavors … He’s much more of a developer than a restaurateur.” Despite shutting down the taps, McEwing Services is continuing planned renovations on the historic structure and hopes to find a new operator for the pub. “We’re 100 percent committed to the building itself and what it represents to people. We’re actively looking to lease the space,” Aliesky insists. “We’re really looking forward to having someone new — someone who’s excited to run a bar.” Although it has already closed, the current incarnation will host a last hurrah this Saturday night to “celebrate five years of business,” Aliesky says. “We’re going to open the doors at 7. Quadra is

playing and we’re going to have some really great drink specials.” Has the change impacted The Belted Cow, a classy eatery that’s also located at the inn? Not a bit, Aliesky says reassuringly. “We support them completely. They’re still here and they’re doing well. I’m in there at least once a week.” In case you missed it … Tilley’s Café on Church Street is being sold. Owner Suzanne Johnson — recently named “Restaurateur of the Year” by the Vermont Hospitality Council — plans to close on October 3 after giving fans a chance to snag a farewell meal. Although she can’t yet name her buyer, Johnson is excited about his credentials. He’s “extremely knowledgable … and will make this a successful place,” she says. Check out Blurt, the Seven Days staff blog, for the full story, including a comment from Johnson about the transition.

Booze News HomebReweRs Looking foR Robin Hood

If you’re a trio of dudes living on Nottingham Lane and your wives happily tolerate your homebrewing projects, it only makes sense to refer to yourselves as “Ye Merry’d Men.” At least that’s how it seems to Scot Barker, Jean-Andre De Bedout and Charles Baah. The three friends, all of whom have techie day jobs — Barker at MyWebGrocer, De Bedout at BioTek and Baah at the University of Vermont — started concocting brews together in 2008. Now they’re hoping to find investors so they can take their suds to the next level. “If we were to sell it, we’d have to get local and federal brewing licenses … and we’d have to find a way to defray the cost,” De Bedout proclaims. The “Men” are convinced there would be a market for their booze. “We did some blind taste tests to see where we gauged in relationship to commercially available stuff,” says De Bedout. “We took our Kissing Trout ale and compared it to Bass, and seven out of 10 people preferred [ours].” Beeradvocate.com is a great virtual source of data about all things brewed. But where do Todd and Jason Alstrom, the site’s founders, actually go to get their drink on? Montpelier, apparently. In a short Boston Globe piece, published on September 27, the brothers list six great places to drink around New England. The suggestions include the Three Penny Taproom. What do they say about the bar? “In the middle of Vermont lies this craft-beer mecca with a muchneeded fresh approach to beer, excellent service … 16 taps and roughly 40 bottles all poured into the appropriate glassware.” Bet the Alstrom accolades made the Three Penny staffers pretty, um, hoppy. The annual Great American Beer Festival may not feature a red carpet, but it is effectively the Oscars of brewing. This year’s version took place last week in Colorado, with 49,000 attendees, 132 judges and 3308 beers in competition for medals in 78 different categories. Vermont businesses came away with three awards. Otter Creek won the “Bohemian Style Pilsner” gold for Vermont Lager, and Waterbury’s Alchemist Pub & Brewery scored gold and bronze in the “Gluten Free” category for its Celia Framboise and Celia IPA, respectively.

Now, instead of driving their herd of 50 milkers across busy Route 100 twice a day, dairy farmers Doug and Sharon Turner have their very own concrete crossing underneath the roadway.

f you wanted to film a “cozy” mystery in Vermont, the pub of the Shoreham Inn would make a great location. On an early fall evening, the small-town watering hole feels like a home away from home. Locals line the bar, munching on potato chips and swigging mugs of Switchback and bottles of imported Old Speckled Hen ale. The inn has its urbane visitors, too. At one table, four fit, well-dressed, 30ish sisters — in Vermont for a biking vacation — play cards and contemplate the menu. “I was thinking about the beef stroganoff,” the elegant eldest confides to a stranger at a neighboring table. “We’re pretty picky,” notes another. The sisters, who booked their rooms sight unseen on the recommendation of an innkeeper in Middlebury, seem pleased with the Shoreham’s gastropub eats. Although the offerings change every week, classic English dishes such as cottage pie and bangers and mash make regular appearances. There’s flashier fare, too. Grilled swordfish comes with cantaloupe salsa, verdant broccoli and thin slices of Golden Russet Farm blue potato tossed in vinaigrette. Folks flip for the Chocolate Guinness cake. Not surprisingly, given the menu’s Old Country touches, innkeepers Molly and Dominic Francis last lived in the UK — but not in such a bucolic setting. When the two London dwellers began looking for an operating bed-and-breakfast for sale, their goal was to run a restaurant in a small village like Shoreham. “We stumbled on this place, it met all the requirements and it had a good feel to us,” says Molly, 41,

who’s originally from the U.S. In 2003, the Francises purchased the venerable colonial structure, which dates from the 1790s and was turned into a hotel in 1828. The couple say their business has grown steadily: This year, despite the economy, they managed a handful of renovations. “When we got here, not every room had its own bathroom,” Molly explains. Giving each room a private commode required reducing their number from nine to seven, so the couple

itself, she admits, “we repainted and redecorated some. There are fewer flowers and chintzy things.” Historical details remain intact, though. The former Civil War room, now part of the Green Mountain Suite, features framed photographs from the 1860s. Before the building became an inn, part of it was used as a general store, and a ledger displaying rows of neat, old-fashioned handwriting is on display in the dining room. Although you wouldn’t know

also erected a building to house three new rooms. Last weekend, those became available to the public. While the accommodations in the main building exude old-fashioned charm — one with a fish theme features nets and tackle in its décor — the newer, two-story lodgings are modern and minimalist, with sleek gas fireplaces, funky furnishings and neutral-toned stoneware in the kitchenettes. When it comes to typical B&B bric-a-brac, “our sensibilities are a little more simple,” says Molly. In the inn

to look at it, the bar is one of the Francises’ additions. “Putting [one] in was important to us,” Dominic says. Its centerpiece is a handsome wooden mirror brought over from Greenwich, England. A few Scotches are on display, and a chalkboard advertises wines available by the glass. “We both like wine, so we like to play around with things you wouldn’t recognize from the supermarket,” Molly says, noting that the list always includes Vermont selections in both red and white. Molly is a psychologist by

trade, but Dominic, 42, who holds a degree in hotel and catering from a university in Manchester, has always worked in the food industry. His jobs have ranged from pub cooking to getting new restaurants up and running to working at Diageo, a company that calls itself the “world’s leading premium drinks business.” At the Shoreham Inn, he wanted to make sure the food would appeal to visitors and locals alike. “People want to have nice food, but they don’t necessarily want to have fancy food, or even eat in a fancy environment. There doesn’t always have to be linen,” Dominic opines. “They want bangers and mash, but they want them to be good bangers and mash.” To keep things fresh, the couple buys meat, cheese and produce from local farmers. But, at a pub in a rural area — Shoreham is an hour and 15 minutes from Burlington and 15 from Middlebury — balancing quality with reasonable pricing can be tricky. “We can’t charge $30 for a steak,” Molly says. “So there are certain cuts of meat and certain producers we can’t have. We’re not the cheapest place around, but we hope we’re doing a better product.”

Last Thursday, entrées ranged from a $10 burger to a $21 filet mignon Stroganoff. The “smaller stuff” section of the menu features a handful of less expensive options. “Some of the smaller things we put on the menu are hefty enough [to be a meal],” says Molly. An arugula salad with sweet yellow beets and local chevre isn’t one of them, but it’s a lovely rendition. Flavorsome curried lamb skewers with minted yogurt are a bit more filling. To give his casual fare more zip, Dominic plays around with traditional recipes. Cassoulet, for example, is a classic French dish that typically features lots of beans and a bit of meat, usually duck. His spicy pork version is loaded with tender meat and served over Basmati rice. Salmon replaces the traditional tuna in the inn’s salad Niçoise. But Dominic doesn’t do dessert. “It’s not something [he]’s interested in,” says Molly. She’s the one who makes seasonal fruit treats such as apple crumble, as well as the

inn’s signature Banoffi Pie, a decadent mix of bananas and toffee topped with a thick layer of whipped cream. It’s the only dessert that’s always on the menu. Though Molly learned to bake “really young” at home, she never expected to do it professionally. “I never thought anybody would ever pay anything for anything I baked,” she says with a chuckle. “But the more I’ve done it, the more I’ve loved it.” Molly also never imagined she’d move across an ocean for a man. The story of her relationship with Dominic sounds like something out of a romantic comedy. After graduating from Chicago’s Northwestern University, Molly flew with a friend to spend the summer in England. The day after they arrived, a flatmate mentioned that her restaurant, the Windy City Bar & Grill, was hiring. “We went in the next day and got jobs,” Molly recalls. Dominic worked in the kitchen. After she returned to the real Windy City, “We sort of stayed in touch,” says Dominic. Over the next nine years, they shared a handful of visits, but at that young age, says Dominic, “in terms of economics and distance and what you’re doing with your life, [a long-term relationship]

never seemed possible.” Finally, he says, “I realized I wanted more. As times change, suddenly 3000 miles didn’t seem as unattainable.” Somebody had to make a move, and Molly decided to take the plunge. “It was a big risk because we really didn’t know each other,” Dominic recalls. “She said, ‘If it doesn’t work out, I’ll just get on a plane and go home.’” Luckily for hungry locals and visitors to Shoreham, the couple ended up taking that flight back to the States together. For Dominic, buying the inn was an opportunity to practice a style of cooking different from the one he learned in England. “There, you’d say, ‘This is what’s on the menu; this is what I need,’” he says. “Here, I go to Will and Judy [Stevens of Golden Russet Farm] and say, ‘What do you have?’ It’s always evolving.” To Molly’s mind, the inn simply “feels like the right place, the right fit.” And the regulars making themselves comfortable in the pub seem to agree. 

’cause otherwise it just turns into a dry little pile,” she says. She also learned to make a filling not terribly different from the one her Japanese mother used in gyoza, that country’s adaptation of the Chinese dumpling. Furiya, who teaches classes in crafting Asian foods such as fresh tofu, tempura udon dishes and dim sum, says she finds ways to make seemingly complex skills manageable — for instance, forming the tiny crimps on the slightly largerthan-thumb-sized xiaolongbao. Most steps in dumpling making require no utensils. Furiya recommends students buy wooden dowels from craft stores to use as rolling pins — no trip to Chinatown necessary. Even with her expert guidance, my xiaolongbao are not as classically attractive as my more simple folding efforts at Yu’s. “I can’t tell which are mine and which are yours,” says Furiya. I can. The fat, blobby ones are mine; the refined ones are hers. They are all, however, delicious. Eaten in one pop to prevent spillage, the juicy “dragons” have a subtle ginger-sesame flavor heightened by the addition of Shaoxing wine. Furiya says these don’t differ much from any dumplings you’d find in China, since recipes endure for centuries. “They don’t think about changing it,” she says. “If you do, you’re a rebel, and we don’t want any rebels.” Furiya keeps busy writing for the San Francisco Chronicle when she’s not teaching, running her business, or raising her son and three dachshunds. She briefly worked as the dumpling maker at Burlington’s A Single Pebble last year, before deciding to focus full-time on her own brand.

Where the News Comes First

Hot off a street cart, frozen and reheated, or made at home (see sidebar), dumplings seem to be the perennial Chinese finger food. Yu claims to eat them daily, and Furiya says that, when given the opportunity, her 6-year-old son scarfs down little else. Sure, frying has something to do with it. (Both Yu and Furiya simulaneously fry and steam their dumplings by adding water and covering the pan.) But Furiya says the secret is inside: “When you make it right, the pork you use is almost white. When it’s not fatty, it’s not fun.” 

<music> Blame It On Rio :: Imagine freak-folk savant Devendra Banhart on a hazy, mescaline-fueled holiday with legendary Brazilian psych-pop outfit Os Mutantes — and maybe troubadour Seu Jorge — and you’ll be nearing the precipice of sonic enlightenment that is Rio de Janiero’s MoMo. Touring behind a remarkable new album, Buscador, the group presents its singular brand of breezy Tropicália at three subtropical VT destinations this week: Friday at Montpelier’s Langdon Street Café, Saturday at Radio Bean, and Sunday at The Bee’s Knees in Morrisville.

Club listings & spotlights are written by Dan Bolles. Spotlights are at the discretion of the editor. Send listings by Friday at noon, including info phone number, to clubs@sevendaysvt.com. Find past album reviews and future club dates online at www.sevendaysvt.com/music.

BY DAN BOLLES

NO SpiN(S) ZONE

Man, I love pushing your buttons. Last week’s rant regarding the scarcity of local music at many of our local college and independent radio stations inspired a surprising amount of traffic through my inbox. A few of you — mostly college radio DJs and listeners — expressed gratitude for bringing the issue to light. They echoed WRUV DJ Brad Barratt’s lament that he is frustrated by the dearth of local releases available to him at the station. Others chimed in saying that local stations should be more proactive in acquiring local music. Interesting point, except that ain’t really how it works. Sorry, folks. But the most interesting response comes to us from local rocker/rabble-rouser CrowfeatheR, who offers what he calls the “musician’s perspective.” He writes that he doesn’t send material to stations such as UVM’s WRUV or WWPV at St. Mike’s because — drum roll, please — “they will never play it.” He goes on to point out that the cost of sending CDs to radio stations outweighs any potential gains you may recoup via the per-spin pittance you’d receive from ASCAP. He was not the only reader to offer this argument. On that latter point, at least, he’s probably right. The going royalty rate for a single play is somewhere in the neighborhood CROwfEATHER of 5 cents. Contrast that with whatever the post office is charging these days and … well, you do the math. To the former point, I guess there’s no accounting for taste. I’m not a DJ, so I can’t speak to whether local college stations would or wouldn’t play CrowfeatheR’s music, or any other artist in particular, for that matter, though my hunch is that they would. In the end, it’s up to individual DJs, which is, of course, the great thing about independent radio. I can only say most area college stations, and WRUV in particular, have a long tradition of supporting local music by playing it on the air — as do, it should be noted, commercial stations such as 99.9 the Buzz and Champ 101.3 and online outlets such as WBKM.org, among others. As WWPV’s Tyler Machado — also an occasional 7D contributor — points out, in Memory of pluto’s self-titled debut EP was in heavy rotation on the station last year, which

landed the band on the College Music Journal’s charts for several months. As a result, Machado says he fielded inquiries about the band from a promotional dude working with some fairly notable labels, including one that rhymes with “Pub Sop.” Nothing has materialized for IMOP on that front … yet. But at least they’re on the radar. (Note to Sub Pop et al.: Check out IMOP’s latest, 1984. You can thank me later.) I guess the point is this: There is no guarantee that sending your music to local stations will lead to airplay. None. But there is one way to be absolutely, 100 percent sure you don’t get played: not sending your music at all.

DEpT. Of CORRECTiONS Last week’s story, “Know Your (Copy) Rights,” about the apparently ongoing Ghosts of pasha-Lendway fracas, also drew a surprising number of responses from you folks. Some sided with Lendway. Others with GOP. However, most everyone sided with common sense and called the whole thing pretty silly, including our old pal CrowfeatheR who had this to offer … actually, I can’t print his response. Ahem. Sadly, the story did contain a factual error. ira Glass’ show “This American Life” is not, in fact, a National Public Radio show. Though it is heard on NPR, the show is actually produced by Chicago Public Radio and distributed by Public Radio International. CrowfeatheR was unavailable for comment regarding this aspect of the story. In all seriousness, sorry ’bout that, Ira.

BiTE TORRENT Believe it or not, there are actually loads of pressing items to get to that don’t involve things I wrote last week. I’m as shocked as you are. Generally, I try to avoid spotlighting a band and then covering them in my column in the same issue. In fact, there are really only two occasions in which I would do so. One, if it’s a slow week. Like, mid-February slow. And two, if the band is exceptionally, mind-bogglingly good, as is the case with Brazilian psych-pop outfit MoMo. Turn to page 09B for a description of the band. And then do your darndest to make it to one of their three dates this week. Please. In other news, should you happen to tune in to CNN or any other Turner Broadcasting station in the near future, you might

hear a familiar voice in the commercials for the company’s forthcoming iPhone app. Through his recent connection with Matchless Music, Aaron flinn has been tabbed by Ted Turner’s media empire to provide the music for the new ads, which will feature Flinn’s signature croon and ukulele strummin’ on the song “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands” — get it? No word on whether Flinn will replace Bon Jovi in those godawful TBS MLB playoffs spots. But we can hope. Tammy fletcher makes a rare Champlain Valley appearance with her excellent bluegrass outfit Mountain Girl this Friday at the Monkey House. And she’s bringin’ some central VT friends with her, the always excellent Abby Jenne & the Enablers, as well as Bozeman-based jazz outfit Tumbledown House. In other Mountain Girl news, they’ll be sporting a new member, veteran area bassist Mark Ransom (Chrome Cowboys, Barbacoa). Speaking of central Vermont, I feel like I’ve been slightly remiss lately in spreading some love in that direction. My bad. So, if you miss killer Brooklyn-based indie-folk ensemble La Strada at the Monkey House on Thursday, head down the road to Montpelier’s Black Door Bar and Bistro on Saturday. Who knows, they might even play “Loved You All Along,” which was just picked up by the HBO series “Bored to Death,” starring Jason Schwartzman. Jumping off the beaten path, there are at least two First Friday Art Walk events in Burlington this weekend that also feature some excellent local bands. First up, Speaking Volumes is hosting an opening for Middlebury painter phoebe Stone, who will unveil a whopping 20 new works. Local songstress Anna pardenik provides the tunes. The same evening, rockers Swale and Rough francis throw down at JDK Design in celebration of a new exhibit from skateboard artist Tobin Yelland. And yes, the basement skate ramp will be open. Last but not least, I’d like to take a moment to thank everyone who made last week’s Burlington Bands 101 showcase at Nectar’s and Club Metronome such a success. The turnout was solid and we raised a pretty good chunk of change for our old pals, the Radiator. Heck, I even learned a few things. One, wear earplugs whenever you see Amadis. Period. Two, even though I’m not very good at it, emceeing is kind of fun. Three, BURNTmd is better than you might think. Too bad he’s no longer playing at Nectar’s this Saturday with Squash the Beef. Four, the studio recording of Anaïs Mitchell’s folk opera Hadestown is going to be ridiculous — two words: Greg Brown. Two more: Justin Vernon (aka Bon iver). Trust me, I could go on. And five, that folks will show up, even on a rainy Wednesday, to support good local music. For that, you have my deepest thanks. m

1000 Words Osage Orange at Radio Bean, Friday, September 25, 2009 IllustratIon By sean Metcalf Sometimes, art captures the essence of a moment in ways that words simply can’t. So rather than reviewing a show in the traditional manner, we tasked local artist Sean Metcalf with filtering a recent performance by local outfit Osage Orange at Burlington’s Radio Bean through his unique lens as an illustrator. As the adage goes, a picture is worth a thousand words — which, incidentally, is about 200 more than the typical word count in this section. Bonus!

PaPer Castles, PaPeR Castles eP

Crinkles, Nightlife 10”/Reemed eP (Heavypet, vinyl, digital download)

(Hey! Hi! Hello!, CD, digital download) Last year, longtime sideman Paddy Reagan burst onto the local scene as a songwriter with his debut EP Hey! Hi! Hello! OK, perhaps “burst” isn’t quite the correct word, if only that it does a mild injustice to the charmingly sedate, lo-fi material found within the EP. Still, it was a nifty first attempt and introduced Reagan as a worthy addition to the burgeoning local indie-folk scene. As the brains behind booking operations at the Monkey House in Winooski, he’s been instrumental in cultivating that very scene. Now, Reagan returns in a more traditional band-styled setup with his trio, Paper Castles. And suffice it to say that fans of Reagan’s solo work — and generally those with an ear for quirkily crafted, lo-fi artpop — have yet another solid local release to add to their collections. “Oh, in Hell” opens the self-titled debut EP and sets its somnolent tone. Peter Negroponte’s slightly disjointed drums sleepily fumble alongside Reagan’s lilting electric guitar. The latter’s fractured baritone hovers over this churning dreamscape. Swells of fleeting vocal harmonies drift airily as chaos unfolds and resolves beneath them. “Open Country” is next. Negroponte’s driving railroad shuffle provides a solid foundation for Reagan’s abstracted guitar and vocal interplay. Meanwhile, Ian Kovac’s bowed bass pushes the song to a deliriously frantic conclusion. “Blue Jeans” represents the EP’s most straightforward-ish number, at least structurally. As we’ve come to expect, Reagan playfully meddles with folk convention, infusing the song with his singular, slackerly charm. “I only knew her in blue jeans,” he sings. “Most of those were torn in the seams. / Yeah, it’s funny how love falls at your feet, or calls to you in a dream.” The song’s punchy finale, complete with a terrific trumpet-led bridge, is surprising and artfully understated as Reagan concludes, “I only knew her in blue jeans. / She swore that she wore a red dress. / Red as the leaves that fall in the breeze and land in a beautiful mess.” The aptly titled “Sad Song” brings Paper Castles to a brooding, atmospheric close. Reagan’s baleful exhortations air over bowed bass, lightly picked guitar and a haphazard symphony of errant percussion — dropped drumsticks, fumbled cymbals, etc. — that lends the tune a decidedly bleary-eyed, late-night feel. Paper Castles is available as a pay-what-you want download via the band’s website, papercastlesmusic.com. Those who prefer a more tangible medium can also pick up the CD version when the band plays a pre-honky-tonk gig at Radio Bean this Tuesday, October 6. Dan Bolles

Is any local outfit more of an enigma than Crinkles? The quartet showed up on the Burlington landscape last year with a brilliant self-titled debut EP, which landed squarely on this scribe’s top-10 list of Vermont-made recordings in 2008. And then? Well, not much. Just as quickly as they had appeared, the band receded into the shadows from whence they presumably came. Yes, there were occasional whispers that Crinkles were playing a gig here or there. But mostly they disappeared from view … until now. Sort of. Earlier this summer, the band finished work on a two-song 10-inch called Nightlife. Side A features a more muscular, higher-fidelity version of the song “Nightlife,” a highlight of their aforementioned debut EP. Side B offers “Thief Eye,” which represents a chilling addition to the band’s mysterious oeuvre. Crinkles also released a remix EP, Reemed, a project essentially helmed by four other notable outfits — one of whom is local. The EP comprises two new versions of “Nightlife,” another take on “Thief Eye” and “MDG,” a version of “Minds Do Go,” also from their debut EP. So, clearly, Crinkles haven’t exactly been resting on their laurels in the last year and a half. But then again, they kinda have. Confused? Good. The first “Nightlife” redux comes to us from Vermont DJ Mike Device. He reconstructs, or perhaps, deconstructs the tune as a murky house anthem. It shouldn’t work, but it somehow does. The song’s moody atmospherics — in particular, the languid tones of vocalist Nicholas Campolo — lend themselves nicely to Device’s hypnotic trance beats. Yes Giantess’ electro-pop version of “Thief Eye” is a bewildering standout. I’ve questioned the artistic validity of Auto-Tune as much as anyone this side of Jay-Z. But I’m coming around. Much as reverb (Jim James apologists) and double voicing (Elliott Smith fans) were before it, Auto-Tune is merely another weapon in a producer’s arsenal. And here, it’s deadly. Electro outfit Moscow obliterates almost any recognizable themes from the original version of “Minds Do Go,” hence it’s “MDG” here. It’s not a bad listen, per se — especially if you have 13 minutes to spare and glowsticks to twirl. But what makes the preceding remixes of particular interest is how each artist reconfigures the source material, which Moscow essentially abandons. This brings us to the One AM Radio’s psychedelic-pop version of “Nightlife.” In a word: Whoa. In a few more, this is the finest cut on the EP and puts an exclamation point — or maybe a question mark? — on another provocative release from the confounding curiosity that is Crinkles. Nightlife 10” and Reemed are both available via Crinkles’ website: crinkles.heavypet.us. Dan Bolles

KINd Of BLuE (COLLAR) :: Just below the upper echelon of legendary American songwriters exists a musical equivalent of blue-collar workers; yeomen who plug away for years, never quite garnering the same level of acclaim as the Dylans or Guthries of the world, but who are nonetheless regarded as elite craftspeople — especially by their peers. You might hear such artists referred to as “your favorite songwriter’s favorite songwriter,” or some variation on the theme. This class comprises a surprising wealth of tunesmiths, including the likes of David Wilcox, John Gorka and, unquestionably, Buddy

Mondlock. If you’re a fan of

Nanci Griffith, Joan Baez or even Garth Brooks, you might be familiar with Mondlock and not even know it — he’s written for those artists and countless more. But the man is a force in his own right, both on record and on stage.

More than 65 participants from all over Vermont and the northeast U.S. will take part in the local climb-off held at Petra Cliffs this Saturday. Armed with chalk and climbing shoes, folks of all ages and abilities solve “boulder problems” — following predetermined paths, each assigned a point value for their degree of difficulty — without the use of ropes. A DJ helps rock scramblers get their groove on, and winners in each of the four divisions score sweet gear prizes. With a crash pad cushioning any slips, there’s no better reason to take the climb.

One of its four touring companies swings into Vermont this Thursday to hit the stage with highlights from the troupe’s best sketches, songs and improvisations over the years. The website promises that material ripped from the day’s newspaper headlines will give audiences “a mind explosion of political and social satire.” The cast includes Brooke Bagnall, Rob Belushi and Greg Hess — names you may not recognize now, but could one day.

SMASHING PUMPKINS It’s not usually until after Halloween that jack-o’-lanterns — then soggy and moldy — get the toss. But all that is about to change, as the Boyden Farm kicks off a brand-new Pumpkin Chuckin’ Festival this Sunday to benefit the Lamoille Family Center. At an event that started as the brainchild of community member Dave Jordan, teams and individuals will craft their own trebuchets — those gravity-powered catapults often employed in the Middle Ages to siege castles — for a gourd-hurling competition. Grapes and tomatoes also go the distance in the kids’ divisions. “For too long, a state that grows some of the finest pumpkins in the nation has lagged in the technology to hurl and smash” them, opines farm owner Mark Boyden. Ongoing concerts, a battle of the bands and outdoor activities celebrate this landmark development. PUMPKIN CHUCKIN’ FESTIVAL

Sunday, October 4, 11 a.m. to dark, at Boyden Farm in Cambridge. $3-5, with an additional fee of $3-5 to enter the contest. Bring your own pumpkin. Info, 888-2910. vtpumpkinchuckin.blogspot.com

Talk about second chances: Diehard Beatles fans who missed the Fab Four onstage back in the day get a do-over. Well, almost. Pronounced “the number one Beatles show on Earth” by Rolling Stone magazine, 1964 The Tribute recreates the concert experience by busting out carefully copied tunes on restored vintage instruments — and that’s not all. The four native Ohioans in the tribute group — Mark Benson, Gary Grimes, Tom Work and Terry Manfredi — even nail the band’s Liverpool accents and personal mannerisms to present an accurate portrait of their 1960s invasion of America. “The resemblance was uncanny,” says the former president of Apple Records, Alistair Taylor. “Never have I seen another group go to such detail.” Stop by for a blast from the past. 1964 THE TRIBUTE

Dear Mistress Maeve, Unlike those of most of your readers, my sex question pertains to a lack of it. I’m a 41-year-old male virgin who’s never had a relationship. Women have been like fleeting birds in my life. What are the consequences of lack of sex, and how do I get started? Online dating hasn’t gone anywhere. Should I keep trying the “casual encounters” route, or attend church for more socialization? What about therapy? I want a relationship, but anything would be good enough right now. Can you help? Signed, Lonely Vermonter Dear Lonely, Popular culture would have us believe that Americans are having sex all the time with everyone from coworkers to neighbors to MILFs to escorts. But that’s simply not true — most of us are as hard up as you are. Sure, it’s a little odd that you’re 41 years old and have yet to hump, but that doesn’t make you an undatable leper. The only consequence of lack of sex is a debilitating lack of confidence, which I fear is a major factor contributing to your empty social calendar. Forget online dating and hook-up sites where you’re just one dude in a sea of dudes trying to get their swerves on. Instead, focus on joining groups or participating in activities that show your talents. Take a cooking class, volunteer at your church or host a World of Warcraft meetup — whatever floats your boat. If you begin meeting women with similar interests to your own, you’ll greatly increase your chances of developing the relationship you crave. As for therapy, I recommend it for everyone. Talking with friends is great, but there’s nothing like the attentive ear and helpful suggestions of an objective professional. Go for it.
