Burlington cannot be a liveable city [“Sounding Off,” July 16] if the residents flee, screaming, for the countryside with their hands over their ears because they are kept up until 1:30 in the morning by out door amplified music, then awak ened at 4:30 by trash trucks. Burlington becomes a nice-placeto-visit-but-I-wouldn’t-want-tolive-there city. Noise pollution is a very real problem in Burlington and in the country as a whole, and has been for a long time. Dr. William Stewart, the U.S. Surgeon General 1965-1969 said, “Noise must be considered a hazard to the health of people everywhere.” Hearing loss is the least of those hazards. Excess noise can be responsible for high blood pres sure, rises in blood cholesterol lev els, hypertension and sleep depri vation. Noisy circumstances at home or school may cause delays in the learning, language and com munication skills of children, and some researchers fear that loud noises affect the development of a fetus as early as two weeks after conception. If playing outdoor amplified music all night makes Burlington such a “cool” and livable city, as Tim Halvorson, Martti Matheson, Ron Redmond and Nancy Wood so strongly believe, then why don’t they live in Burlington? Perhaps Burlington is a nice-place-to-do-

PARTY ON

I am not a downtown resident, but frequent the area on occasion and feel that the current ordinances are about right. The person in your article [“Sounding Off,” July 16] seems to typify the kind of individ ual that moves to an area knowing there are special preexisting circum stances, then complains about them afterwards. Perhaps the city should pass an ordinance against such persons inhabiting the downtown area or more realistically, have persons interested in moving into certain zoned districts acknowledge the pitfalls beforehand in writing. Perhaps we should even expand the hours of operations, at least for indoor bar and food establish ments? The Burlington down town area is a very special place and others come to us to look for examples of how to improve theirdowntowns. Let’s keep it that way! Lastly, has anybody looked at the whole alcohol prohibition for 18- to 21-year-olds and how silly that issue is? What are the effects of criminalizing a legal drug in our society for certain age groups? Does this drive our kids to use more concealable, easy-to-get illegal drugs? How many countless hours are

wasted by law enforcement pursu ing, and the courts prosecuting, underage drinking? I travel all over the world and see kids having a beer or wine responsibly and it seems like we are way behind everyone on this. Thanks for con sidering my thoughts. Robert Vose SOUTH BURLINGTON

HOME IN THE 'HOOD

Thank you for a well-written and balanced article regarding efforts by downtown residents and businesses to improve the livability of down town Burlington [“Sounding Off,” July 16]. I want to remind everyone that residential landlords are business people, too, like mine, who owns property in downtown to make money. Also, with recent changes to zoning and pending proposals for development, more residents will be moving downtown. I would think that a livable downtown would help to attract high-quality tenants, which would be good for landlords’ business. Oftentimes people say you chose to live downtown. Many of us did not have a choice. When I moved to Burlington, I took the first apartment I could find. It did n’t matter that it was located down town. However, now I feel privi leged to live here and can’t imagine living anywhere else. Remember that there are many other residents, like seniors, who live here because

that is where they can find senior housing. Downtown residents are not asking for entertainment to cease and the area to become as quiet as the New North End, and I can’t imagine downtown without its festivals. We’re just asking not to be taken for granted merely because of where we live. As a downtowner, I understand life is different down here, and some noise is part of downtown liv ing. I am confident that the for ward-thinking businesses and com munity leaders can work together to make downtown Burlington a

truly great place to live and do business. Proudly living, shopping and voting, in downtown Burlington! Will Flender BURLINGTON

NIGHT LIFE

I read with interest your article on Burlington’s dynamic nightlife scene and associated “noise” com plaints [“Sounding Off,” July 16]. The article failed to address one positive by-product of the down town clubs: Nighttime activities, which generate noise, light and

pedestrian traffic, make Burlington a safer place for everyone, but espe cially for women. Until recently, I practiced law downtown for over six years, often working very late on deadline. From time to time and for various reasons, I found myself walking alone — very late — down College or Church Street to retrieve my car or to catch a ride home. I never felt threatened in any way. While living as a student in Boston and as a professional in Los Angeles, I never once felt safe walking the streets alone and, in fact, was usually terrified. Do we

really want Burlington to be silenced? Jane Osborne McKnight SHELBURNE

MAKING WAVES

In Ken Picard’s article on the FCC’s pressure to eliminate the Brattleboro low-power FM radio station RFB, [“Local Matters,” July 9] it seems it’s only a matter of time before Burlington’s LPFM sta tion is targeted. With Michael Powell’s (son of Colin) passage of FCC rules allow ing further monopolization of our sources of information, it will be harder to get, or know, the truth. Seven months after 9/11, in my search for answers to the question of “why,” I discovered some incred ible “patriot radio” programs on shortwave, interviewing many most informative individuals, not to mention the insights from those calling in. Right now, Joyce Riley, co-host with Dave Von Kleist, of W3 The Power Hour.com on 9850khz Monday through Friday, 8-11 a.m., is interviewing Michael Levine, W3 expert witness radio.org, a former DEA agent revealing the hypocrisy of this Federal agency... Another hard-hitting show is Alex James’ W3 Info Wars.com, 12 p.m. through 3 p.m. on 12.172 mhz... Then there is Dr. Stan Monteith, W3 Radio Liberty.com, 6 p.m. through 8 p.m. on 5743

phthalmology is the queen of all specialties, no question about it,” insisted ; * David Chase M.D. in a recent interview in Vermont Business People Magazine. “Everyone secretly wants to be an oph thalmologist,” said Chase. “They may not know it at first, but they do eventually. This isn’t work at all. It’s fun.” Fun? As everybody knows, the Vermont Medical Practice Board suspended Dr. Chase’s license last week in the wake of revelations he’d been performing cataract surgery on patients who did not need it. On Friday, officials from the Vermont Attorney General’s office, as well as the FBI and the Inspector General, executed a search warrant at Chase’s Burlington clinic. The spectrum of potential criminal charges run the gamut from Medicaid/Medicare fraud to aggravated assault. The matter was brought to light by a whistleblower who sought a second opin ion to bolster Dr. Chase’s diagnosis of her absolute need for cataract surgery. The second opinion just didn’t jibe with Chase’s. In fact, according to the com plaint, Dr. Chase made a habit of telling patients they didn’t even need a second opinion. One former patient who was stunned by Dr. Chase’s diagnosis told Seven Days that when he refused to have the unnec essary surgery, Dr. Chase called him at home. “He was pretty forceful,” said local radio personality Jo el Najman. “He told me I wouldn’t need glasses anymore.” Najman said that despite his wife’s urging to do what the doctor ordered, he had second thoughts and refused. In the wake of Chase’s license suspension, Najman told us this week he feels “vindi cated.” According to documents released by the board, Chase had his own operating room installed at his St. Paul Street clinic. His goal was to perform nine cataract operations per week. Apparently, accord ing to one former staff member, it mat tered little whether the patient needed the operation. Ch-ching! “I know he operates unethically,” wrote Am y Landry, one of Chase’s for mer technicians. Landry said she and other techs brought their concerns to the clinic’s CEO, B rian n e Chase, the good doctor’s wife. According to Landry’s statement, Mrs. Chase told them, “He’s set in his ways.” Since the news of Dr. Chase’s license suspension hit, hundreds o f former patients have contacted the Medical Practice Board. According to Assistant Attorney General Cindy M aguire, an additional 80 complaints have been filed against Chase by former patients. This story, folks, will be around for quite awhile. If the allegations are true, the question is, why would a 67-year-old physician be in the business o f operating on the eyes o f patients who did not need surgery?

Was it for the money? The Chases are not poor. Far from it. They live in a $500,000-plus mansion on Spear Street in Shelburne. Brianne Chase, born Brianne Eastman, belongs to the family that once owned Burlington’s Appletree Point. The Chases still own two lots on the Point. Brianne, in fact, is known for her philanthropy. She’s a for mer chair of the Flynn Board of Trustees and has served on the prestigious Flynn board since 1989. Dr. Chase told Vermont Business People that his CEO spouse Brianne “makes sure we’re all up to snuff on government regu lations.” Really? Sounds like she may need a lawyer soon, too. A Flynn spokesperson informed yours truly Tuesday that Flynn Center Director A ndrea Rogers would not be available to speak with us about the Chase case or about Brianne. Incidentally, Dr. Chase, a graduate of UVM’s Medical College, is listed as a fac ulty member in the current catalogue. UVM spokesman Enrique Corredera told Seven Days Chase holds what amounts to a “volunteer unsalaried position.” He said Chase does not do any classroom teaching at the medical school. Occasionally, said Corredera, medical stu dents have visited him at his downtown clinic. “Needless to say,” said Corredera, “that won’t be happening anymore.”

DeanW atch 2 0 0 4 — Since our favorite

presidential hopeful lit up the scoreboard with his whopping first-place finish in second-quarter fundraising, things appeared to quiet down for a couple weeks. So quiet, yours truly dashed over to Saratoga Springs, New York, to catch some real horse racing. Once again, we were reminded that when it comes to handicapping horse races, our judgment is enormously better with the two-legged variety. During the lull, the Howard Dean campaign went to the dogs. You see, Rep. Dick G ephardt’s campaign made a big deal out of a stupid story about a New Hampshire family that had been visited by both Gephardt and Dean. Apparently Ho-Ho didn’t pet the dog, while Gephardt shook the pooch’s paw. The Gephardt campaign put out an email stating that Dean hates dogs! The Dean response was led by the Dean campaign’s in-house canine. Kasey is a 4-year-old Highland Terrier belong ing to Campaign Manager Joe Trippi. “A very smart dog,” says Trippi. So smart, in fact, that Kasey has accepted the offi cial position of Director of Canine Outreach. Honest, we’re not making this up. Don’t be surprised if Kasey has a A, guest appearance on the David Letterman Show in her future. Meanwhile, the “experts” continue to IN S ID E T R A C K »

So Misunderstood Authorities in Lakeside, California, reported that Albert de Santiago, 39, stormed into the post office and took four employees hostage. While a sheriff’s SWAT team and a dozen California Highway Patrol officers surrounded the building, his only demand during the 3-1/2 hour standoff was for a six-pack of Dr. Pepper. He released two hostages to bring him soft drinks, but when they didn’t return, he grew agitated and said

This June, he was charged with attempted murder after trying to run down a Henry County sheriff’s deputy twice while driving naked with his head lights off on the wrong side of the high way. “This man would have been better off without the money, frankly,” Sheriff Frank Cassell told The Washington Post. “It certainly didn’t help him, I can tell you that.”

the White House Web site when some one asked him what denomination of currency he would like to have his like ness on. “I would put it on the $500 bill,” Snow replied. “It has the least cir culation. That way I wouldn’t have to see myself too often.” In fact, the bill has no circulation. According to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the government stopped making new $500 bills in 1945 and stopped issuing them altogether in 1969. After the gaffe was pointed out, Treasury representative Rob Nichols insisted that Snow had been joking.

and Jose Jury, 64, pleaded guilty in Newark, New Jersey, to taking part in a scheme to pass counterfeit Federal Reserve notes supposedly worth $25 bil lion. Part of what gave them away was that they printed notes purporting to be worth $ 100 million apiece, but the highest note the government has ever printed is $100,000. The bogus bank notes also had a typographical error: “one hundred million dollar (sic).” • Treasury Secretary John Snow was tak ing part in an interactive exchange on

into the Montclair Baptist Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama, to have a fatty tumor removed from her back and a cyst taken off her forehead. After being sedated, she awoke in the operating room with her head on fire. “I remember wak ing up and yelling, ‘I’m burning; I’m on fire,”’ Allen said. “My face just ignited.” Allen said that a doctor told her the blaze occurred while he was using an electric instrument to cauterize a blood vessel on her forehead. Dressings on her face caught fire, and the doctor had to remove them to extinguish the blaze. After burn ing her face, the fire followed the oxygen mbe into her nose and sinuses. “I’m just expecting one-day surgery,” Allen said, “and then end up like this.”

Forgettable Sex A German court ordered a brothel in Kaarst to reim burse a man charged for sex because the man insisted that he had been too drunk to remember having any. The establishment charged him 9000 euros on his credit card but neglected to give him an itemized receipt. “The brothel failed to provide concrete documenta tion of the prices and services provid ed,” court official Vera Huth said. “They should have, for example, listed two sexual intercourse sessions at 600 euros, oral sex at 300 euros or anal sex at 400 euros a go.” ®

W o rd ’s Worth he Fletcher Free Library tossed the 32ounce jars of mayo a few years ago. Now the rest of the Brautigan Library has reached its expiration date — the Burlington chapter, anyway. Nearly 15 years ago, a group of local bibliophiles started a repository of unpublished man uscripts modeled after one described in a book by ’60s author Richard Brautigan. Now the cult collection looks to be head ed for the Presidio Branch of the San Francisco Public Library. “It couldn’t be a more appropriate place for this to go,” founder Todd Lockwood says of the spe cial collection that occupies a few hun dred square feet on the second floor of the Fletcher. Brautigan’s typewriter and eyeglasses are part of the display. “That library is actually referred to in The Abortion," explains Lockwood — the novel even provided its actual street address. “They’ve gotten mail for years from people wondering if they accept unpublished writing,” he says of the Presidio library. “For years they were i referring people to us.” Although the' Brautigan Library has been very quiet since it moved to the Fletcher, in 1996, it began as a lively literary endeavor in the building now occupied by Burlington’s Doll-Anstadt Gallery. There were week end hours of operation, volunteer librari ans and an active board of directors. As per Brautigan’s vision, the bylaws speci fied that no two chairs in the library should be alike. Its 300-plus unmar ketable manuscripts came mostly from out of state — indeed, from all over the English-speaking world. “One of the fun things about all this is that in the original story, the library did indeed move every few years to a different city,” Lockwood observes. He expects to get a green light from Presidio in the next week. “My sense is that the people who work at that branch are very enthused, and they have room ... and plenty of mismatched chairs.” . . . W hat makes a Madeleine or Good N ight Moon move little listeners? The same thing that keeps oral history alive: good storytelling. A n ita Silvey developed an ear for it when she was a publisher of children’s books at Houghton Mifflin. Among her Caldecott Medal-winning creations was a book about the icy investigations of Vermonter S n ow flak e B en tley. Silvey must have wanted to get an even closer look. She decided to leave corporate publishing and last m onth took over as editor of the chil drens books published by the Vermont Folklife Center. Silvey has complete cre ative control of the series based on tales preserved in its extensive sound archives. “Its likely the stories will now branch out beyond Vermont,” says associate director Meg O stm m . “WeVe decided to really push the regional focus.” One o f the pub lished stories, The Scrimshaw Ring, came from Rhode Island-raised H orace Beck, a former professor o f folklore at

Middlebury College who died earlier this month. A raconteur known for his blunt ness and encyclopedic knowledge, he was married to the Folklife Centers founder and executive director, Jane Beck, and supplied all the meat for its annual game dinner. “He went hunting last fall, out West, at 82,” says Ostrum. “He was a giant in his field.” The Folklife Center has benefitted from “a sequence of largerthan-life personalities — people who are significant far beyond Vermont,” Ostrum notes. “Exit one and enter the other.” . . . Some things just keep coming back. How else to explain the impending fall resur rection of Vermont Woman and the news paper career of its former publisher Sue Gillis? Launched in 1985, the monthly hung on for five years before Gillis merged operations with former Vanguard publisher Nat W inthrop to create the lackluster Vermont Times — now the lus ter-less Burlington Vermont Times. Gillis was replaced by co-publisher Nancy Wood Chloffi. In 1995, Chioffi and Winthroj^sold the paper to out-of-state owners. Irdnically, the original VanguardVermont Woman merger idea came from Greg Guma, who is also planning to launch a new “progressive” publication in October. Burlington activist and philan thropist R obin Lloyd is backing both ventures.

IN BRIEF Freshman “orientation” used to be a fancy word for livening up your dorm room with Impressionist art ppsters. It’s all Realism now. First-year students at the University of Vermont are required to watch a play about the dan gers of date rape. Last year the University of Vermont started hiring a professional troupe, Catalyst Theater Company, to play out a scenario all too familiar to most co-eds — a night of fiat-party drinking that turns into a sexual assault. “It goes through the process of the young man being given notice, the suspension procedure, and also for the victim — what her specific choices are,” says direc tor V eronica Lopez. She needs a few more players to handle the hard parts. Call 862-2287 to get in on the action. . . . Retired Red Sox pitcher B ill Lee is one loudmouth leftie. In the ’70s, he got a rebel rep for challenging the conservative baseball establishment. These days he’s an avowed baseball purist who gets wound up about the loss o f “natural grass, pitch ers who hit, Sunday doubleheaders, day games and the nickel beer.” A resident of Craftsbury, Lee will be drinking for free on Thursday at Magic Hat Brewery, where he’ll sign copies of his book, share stories and sample a special brew o f “Bill’s Eephus Ale,” named for his signature high-arching pitch. ©

THE PUZZLE: As you can guessfrom her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to pre dict. Her preferences changefrom one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) allfollow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Note: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them— how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.) Fannie's favorite high school boyfriend was SPIKE, a biker and amateur taxidermist.

Can you have ju st one ENTRAIL, or do you have to include an S on the end?

H ard R ain he sky opened up just as the evening train slowed to a stop at the Amtrak sta tion. This is just dandy, I thought. Normally I deal just fine with rain; after a humid summer day, getting a little wet can be rejuvenating. But it was one of those days. You know — those days, when Murphys Law reigns supreme and everything that can go wrong does. Well, this was consistent. I ventured out into the downpour. An older man in a seersucker suit, sporting a straw fedora and a cane, walked up to me and stopped. Looking askance and lifting his nose, which was set off by a salt-and-pepper waxed moustache, he asked, “Is that your taxi?” “Sure is,” I replied. “Where ya head ed?” I was cutting right to the chase. No

W hat I saw w ere n o t h u m a n b e in g s , b u t $ 3 4 th a t r ig h tfu lly b e lo n g e d in s id e m y ta x i. time for flowery pleasantries when water is beginning to trickle down your back. “W hat is your rate to Pond Road in Shelburne?” I had to stop and think. Oh, yeah, I remembered. Pond is the extension of Irish Hill Road, and it has the distinction of being the last unpaved town road in Shelburne. More to the point, it’s a long ride. “Twenty-two bucks, sir,” I replied. The man arched his bushy eyebrows and lifted his nose still higher. W ithout saying a word, he turned and stepped into the waiting room, leaving me standing there like an idiot. Dripping. “Oooo-kay,” I said to no one in partic ular. Next up was a couple with two scowl ing teenage girls and a ton of luggage. “How do we get to the Sheraton?” the mom asked me. “You get in my taxi and I drive you there,” I answered, my tone reflecting the day’s snafus. Daddy then piped up. “Wait a second. How far is it?” His two daughters looked at each other and rolled their eyes. “Jeez, I dunno — maybe five or six miles.” “How much?” he grumbled, tacitly conceding that he wasn’t going to walk there with a bushed family and the lug gage o f three women. “Twelve dollars for the four of you,” I replied. “All right,” he said, and we began loading the bags into the trunk as the rest of his family climbed into the back seat. I wasn’t exactly whistling while I worked. Just as we got the last bag in, the snooty Shelburne guy stepped back out o f the waiting room. Presumably he had called another taxi company, but I had to check. “So do you want to jum p in with

•

me?” I asked. “There’s still room.” He looked down at me like we were in a scene from “Upstairs,-Downstairs” and said dryly, “You’re more expensive than the norm.” He then turned and went back inside. “Hey, is that true what that guy said?” Daddy was on the warpath again. “Are you ripping us off?” “That’s exactly what I’m doing. Yeah, with the 12 bucks I get to take you to the Sheraton — sounds like highway robbery, doesn’t it?” I don’t think the man appreciated my sarcasm. The circumstances, it seemed, were not conducive to subtlety. “Donna! Girls!” he yelled into the cab to his belea guered family. “Get out! We’re not taking this taxi.” “Great,” I said under my breath. “This is just friggin’ marvy.” I began grabbing the bags out of the trunk and lining them up not so gently on the now puddly ground. “I didn’t want to drive you anyway,” I sputtered in the rain. “Busting my chops and all. For your information, that $12 to the Sheraton is less than what the fleet cabs are gonna charge you. So I hope you enjoy waiting in the rain the half-hour it’s gonna take to get another cab out here.” The man gave no indication that he was listening to a word I said. To his credit, he recognized my little speech for what it was — an obvious and somewhat pathetic case of sour grapes. He herded his family to the shelter of the overhang along with the luggage, where they stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the older man — my pal from Shelburne — who was grinning at them like the Cheshire Cat. The message in his smile was unmistak able. It said, “Welcome to the We-Hatethe-Cabdriver Club.” I gazed out at the five of them through the window of the cab. The streaking rain on the glass created a frac tured, kaleidoscope effect on their fig ures. W hat I saw were not human beings, but $34 that rightfully belonged inside « my taxi. Sick to my stomach, I drove off empty. I didn’t get 50 yards before remorse set in. I treated that family like crap, I thought. Traveling with two teenagers, arriving to a rainstorm in a strange city — they were clearly frazzled and my atti tude didn’t help. That’s bad karma for sure, it struck me, and I whipped the cab around to go back and apologize. I pulled up to the father, lowered my window and said, “Hey, I’m sorry about what happened, buddy. I guess this has been a tough day for all of us.” The man smiled through tight lips. “Yes, I’m sure,” he replied. “Well, you know what? Screw you, ‘buddy.’” Before I had a chance to react, I was looking at his back. This was fast becoming the theme of the evening. I raised the window and pulled out of the station. “Well,” I mused as I headed back to Burlington, “that certainly went peachy.” ®

reviewth is RICHIE HAVENS, W ISH IN G W ELL (Stormy Forest, CD) While the title of Richie Haven's latest sounds like a noun, the import of his lyrics suggests the verb: He is actively wishing you, and the world, well. This is a lovely, spiritual collection of 10 tunes, six of them written by the revered folkie. And from the first deep, mystical strains of opener "The Well" to the hymnlike closer, "On the Turning Away," Havens is both pacifying and impassioned. Wishing Well is too stirring to be a lullabye, but his sonorous, burnished voice and the somewhat mesmerizing production do have sedative qualities. A vaguely Middle Eastern/Asian flavor is imparted with the addition of a bamboo flute, Turkish vio lin, sitar and shimmering percussion, and the delicate, resonant guitar work throughout is extraordinary. Most of the songs are slow and achingly melancholic — "Handouts in the Rain" is a stunner — but Havens picks it up here and there. The guitars are lickety-split on "Stardust and Passion," and "Slow Down" is perversely upful with a poppy, sing-along chorus. Havens is a truly soulful sur vivor of the '60s, but his meditative message is timeless. He performs at the Champlain Folk Festival this Friday night at Kingsland Bay in Ferrisburgh. PAMELA POLSTON

ERIC OLSEN, FIE L D IN G S VOL. I (Icebox Records, 3-inch CD) Burlington multi-instrumentalist Eric Olsen's latest release — and second for Icebox Record's three-inch CD series — is a collection of lo-fi field recordings captured in various locations over the past"couple of years. The tracks focus mainly on street musicians — some playing for money, some not — and provide a fascinating glimpse into often ignored moments of performance. "French (Canadian) Horn," recorded in Montreal on a cold November evening, is a deliciously melancholy piece, performed by a musician totally unconcerned with the attention of passersby. ~ "Worship 1" is the uplifting sound of a Costa Rican choir, recorded from the stairwell of a random building in which they sang. Other tracks, recorded in various South American and New York locations, feature the rapid-fire ramblings of shop owners and the sounds of unself-conscious revelry. All in all, the 20-minute disc is a fascinat ing cultural recording. Highly recommended for travelers, and fans of all types of non-commercial music. ETHAN COVEY

Ix {Back!

COLLEEN SEXTON, GREATEST FIND (Accord Music Group/Telarc, CD) Singer-Songwriter Colleen Sexton has a problem. Since first appearing on the club circuit about five years ago, she has been performing, sometimes literally, in the shadow of her older, betterknown and amazingly talented brother, Martin Sexton. Originally from Syracuse, Colleen has become identified with the Boston-area music scene — just like Martin. For better or worse, her first tour was as a warm-up act for Martin. Colleen is a talented songwriter, but that's part of the problem. When she writes soulful songs on a par with some of her brother's best work, it becomes glaringly apparent that she doesn't have the vocal chops to sing "soul" music. Her new CD, Greatest Find, contains 12 original songs that run the gamut from the mando-rag pop of " I Got You on My Mind" to/oux-Sheryl Crow stylings on "Dear Arlene." The disc is liberally sprinkled with songs that could have been written — and would sound better performed — by Martin. Jam's Ian, contemporary singer-songwriter Cliff Eberhart and, yes, Martin Sexton all provide guest chorus vocals. Colleen's debut CD, Step Outside, was nominated for two Boston Music Awards in 1999, and she has been touring in the singer-songwriter rat race ever since. The reality of that race: A rela tively huge number of musicians, many with not enough talent to set them apart from the pack, spend a huge amount of energy and whatever money they can scrape up to jockey for a relatively small number of low-paying festival and club gigs. Often the artists with more talent for self-promotion than for songwriting enjoy the most success. Colleen Sexton is not an ace self-promoter, but now that the Accord Music Group in Maine is managing her, she finally has someone else to take care of the promo. Colleen Sexton has a pleasant voice and a knack for writing interesting material, but neither gift is unique or gripping enough to make this listener think about anything but her brother — and even I am getting tired of saying it. She certainly has earned her own share of fans, though, and they will surely turn out for Colleen's concert this Friday at 135 Pearl in Burlington. ROBERT RESNIK

Jv-» r

om Lawson is a self-taught artist but is definitely not “naive.” His “Automatics, Semi-Automatics, Re-Dos and Hard Labor” exhibition at the Firehouse is simultaneously enriched by art historical sources and alive with an almost Zen-like directness. He seems to view every cre ative moment as timeless. Lawson writes in his artists statement that each painting “usually starts with seeing a surface somewhere and instandy feeling that it is a painting in waiting.” Michelangelo said something very simi lar about blocks of stone. But Lawsons aesthetic influences are more recent. The former vocalist for 1990s Burlington band The Pants is influenced by pop cul ture and contemporary design as well as art history. ,/ The 32 works in the Firehouse Gallery show were produced over the last seven years. Many are large-scale paintings on plywood; others were executed on canvas. Lawson generally sticks to a fighdy con trolled chromatic harmony in his works, and he’s not afraid to let figuradve ele ments arise. As in the works of Roberto Matta, Mlro and Paul Kfre, any narrative content that may stumble into a Lawson piece is essentially an abstract invention. An “Untitled” painting from 1997 includes crescents that look like moons and circles that seem like cartoonish eyes. This untitled piece with crescents is primarily accessible, or readable, in for mal terms. * ,'i ' » r t f . w v T rv ‘, v v

*V i V

•* >

Lawson’s palette is restrained and sophisticated, his lines rugged yet fine at the same instant. The space is flat, but movement is generated by weights of line and unbalanced forms. Those ele ments are the true “content” of his work. Lawson takes what he needs from art history without being burdened by it. There’s a dash of Philip Guston, a pinch of Synthetic Cubism and liberal quanti ties of Arshile Gorky in the exhibition. “Floaters,” an acrylic-on-board painting, has a white background and pointed shapes in blue, dirty yellow, plum and brown separated by thick lines. While it may appear spontaneous, the work actu ally has layers of earlier painting beneath its surface. Direcdy beneath the white space, a layer of yellow brightens the entire image. “Honey Bee” is a vertical piece meas uring approximately 70 by 30 inches. It is practically a blown-up version of details in “Floaters.” Its black borderlines become fat without being hard-edged, and all the hues are flatter than in Lawson’s smaller pieces. In contrast, there are several delicate, almost lacy, pieces in this show. “Painting for My Mother” features loop ing pencil lines that contain a jungle of colors — differentiated reds, blues and greens. That chromatic matrix seems to shimmer in front of an abstracted land scape with a low horizon. An “Untitled Watercolor” uses a similarly dispersed \ , * *. \ U'V’T L ' .V’* *A S*.**.I’*

composition but- has no lines separating the hues. The result is a blanket of color such as might be seen in a field of vibrant wildflowers. Several of the pieces in the show are composed of just a few brushstrokes. “The Collapse” has an off-centered com position in black, yellow ocher, green and red strokes applied with what seems to be a house painter’s brush. As is appropriate for a piece with such a tide, gravity figures prominendy in the image: The colors are allowed to drip and run into each other. “Self-Portrait (shiny red)” was painted in a single movement, demonstrating that Lawson paints like an Abstract Expressionist — with his arm, not his wrist. A 2003 “Self-Portrait” consists of about nine brushstrokes of acrylic paint ed onto a cutout piece of chalkboard. It’s as if Lawson is saying he’s constandy learning, and his lessons cannot be erased as if they were written in chalk. His lessons were written in paint. Lawson’s works are more emotional than intellectual. That is both their strength and their weakness. While he seems to be gathering together stylistic threads, they are not yet braided into a single length of sturdy rope with which he can scale greater artistic heights. In that respect, “Automatics, SemiAutomatics, Re-Dos and Hard Labor” feels like a work in progress. Lawsons greatest masterpieces are yet to come. ®

GRIM VISIONS In 1937, Nazi art curator Klaus von Baudissin stated, "The most perfect shape, tJie.subijmest image.„ has not come out of any artist's studio. It is the steel helmet." Jason Tooth's iconic hand grenade seems to rebut that thesis. It's one of his "large-scale tattoo-able pieces" currently on display at RedSquare in Burlington, along withJason Kast's illustrative graf fiti and "blackbookwork." Both artists probablywould have found acceptance invon Baudissin's "Degenerate Art"exhibition. >•.

ave you received your summer 2003 issue of The Fire Organ Newsletter? This online communication is primarily an update on activities at O ff the Grid Productions, Nora Jacobson’s cinema company. The Norwich director is in the editing phase of her latest project, Nothing Like Dreaming. The fire organ is a musical instrument that figures prominently in the film about a troubled young woman and her relationship with an older artist. Much of it was shot in Montpelier a cou ple of winters ago. The newsletters “guest editor” is Jacobson’s former neighbor — and daughter of her significant other — Ruby Ferm, who plays a character named Jennifer in the movie. “And no, I’m not really as bitchy in real life,” Ferm writes, though only O ff the Grid insiders are likely to know what she means by that. Ferm has a peppy, informative style,

albeit a bit gossipy when it comes to recent cast sightings: “Morgan Bricknell [Emma in Nothing Like Dreaming^ was recently spotted dancing with James Taylor’s son Ben at a concert in Burlington! All right, Morgan! (Does he have any younger — or older — broth ers?) Morgan has recently relocated to Virginia Beach and is engaged. (Sorry, Ben!)” The indefatigable correspondent also shares this tidbit about a local hunk: “Jacob Crumbine, the Tom Cruise-esque young actor who plays Jimmy,” showed up at a cancer benefit wearing a Dean For America T-shirt. “The Doctor in IN!” Ferm proclaims in a moment of par tisanship. The more relevant news is that Jacobson spent two weeks in late June working with Miriam Kolar, a freelance audio engineer from Los Angeles. They were in Vermont preparing the final sound mix. A Dartmouth College grad, Kolar later studied with Larry Polansky, the electronic music teacher who com posed the score for Dreaming. According to Ferm, director of pho tography Lasse Toft created the final credit sequence last fall at the Middle Earth Cafe in Bradford. And fire organist Michel Moglia has been composing more melodies for the film from his studio out side Paris, France. No word yet on a premiere date, but Ferm promises to keep us posted.

VALERIA GOLINO IN RESPIRO

While Jacobson to ils day and night in Norwich, just across the river Respiro will screen at 7 and 9 p.m. on August 6 at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. In his vivid melodrama about a manic-depressive woman, writerdirector Emanuele Crialese offers hints of both classic Italian neo-realism and mod ern magic realism. The sensual wife of a fisherman and mother of three kids, Grazia (Valeria Golino) lives on a small island southwest of Sicily. While the story is fairly contem porary, life on Lampedusa is so timeless that her saga could be set in a previous century. People dress with peasant-like simplicity; young boys swim out to the fishing boats; everyone strolls around the village on weekend evenings with few other options for entertainment. Grazia’s behavior is erratic. She frolics naked at the shore, shocking her husband and children, then mopes in bed for days. The torpor might stem from her mindnumbing job at the local cannery or from being a free spirit stifled by the conformi ty of a small town. The word “respiro” means “to breathe,” which she longs to do, deeply. But there’s also something comforting about an extended family and neighbors who watch out for each other. The residents of Lampedusa have their limits, however. When Grazia goes over the edge, the community consensus is that she should be shipped to a treatment center in Milan. Pasquale, her oldest son, balks at the idea. He helps her hide in a cave. If this sounds a little Oedipal, Crialese approaches such undercurrents with typical European sophistication. The mythic quality of Respiro is seduc tive. Ditto for the Mediterranean vistas shot by cinematographer Fabio Zamarion and the moody sax score by John Surman. The cast is largely composed of non-professionals, including Francesco Casisa as the adolescent Pasquale. The naturalism of the production somehow fits perfectly with its more fanciful flour ishes. Volino, who has appeared in " American fare such as Rain Man and Frida, gives Grazia just the right touch of volatility mixed with vulnerability. Her madness is convincing because the performance is restrained during even the most off-the-wall moments. This accomplished actress, too often taken for granted by the industry, deserves more starring roles. In Respiro, she takes your breath away. ®

ON THE BALL Author Will Anderson recalls, "growing up in Yonkers, you played stickball from the time you could walk." Over time Anderson realized his typewriter was mightier than his bat. His latest work, The Lost New

England Nine, tells the stories of 11 less-celebrated New England stars who played for either the Boston Red Sox or the Boston Braves â&#x20AC;&#x201D; before they took their home plate to Milwaukee and then Atlanta. Among the feaÂ tured players is Vermont's own Larry Gardner. Anderson offers a personal tribute to the "deadball era" great when he travels towards Gardner's hometown of Enosburg Falls to autograph copies of his book.

F o rtaleza De La M ujer Maya (E m p o w erm en t o f Mayan Women), a group from San Cristobal in Chiapas, Mexico, formed in the mid-'90s to help Mayan women who were being displaced from the countryside. According to their brochure, that aid came in the form of "workshops... women's health programs, job skills and theater." Theater may seem out of place on that list at first blush, but it has enabled actors and play wrights Petrona de la Cruz and Isabel Juarez Espinosa to voice many of the concerns facing mod ern Mayan women. It's also helped to bring a revo lutionary message — that women don't have to remain quiet and endure abuse — to people across Mexico and in North America. The Maya Educational Foundation in South Woodstock brought the two performers to Burlington last week. Their half-hour play was per formed entirely in Spanish against the brick back drop of City Hall's Contois Auditorium. With mostly mimed props and sparse costuming, the whole thing had a surreal, dream-like quality. Being uni-lingual, I have to admit I found it dif ficult to understand what was going on. A brief syn opsis was given in English before the play, and the program had the same text for reference. Nevertheless, the audience was often laughing or crying at some subtlety that completely escaped me. On the other hand, it was amazing to read about these women who had survived rape, abuse and relocation, and had taught themselves Spanish, and then watch them perform one of the several plays they have written. The play itself is about a woman, Domtila, who must deal with a drunken husband who abandons her, and an abusive, lecherous priest who attacks her. In the end, a pair of comic twins named Pedrito and Pepito explain that Domtila has "heal[edj herself through the love and understanding of a man and [has begun] to believe in life." Judging by the applause, the audience believed in the women as well. CHRISTOPHER MICHEL

BEAUTIFUL MINDS If you could down beers with any two people in history, who would they be? For the folks at Lost Nation Theater the answer is easy: Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein. Their current production, Pablo Picasso at the Lapin Agile , is set in a Parisian cabaret at the dawn of the 20th century. Perched on swiveling stools, the two masterminds engage in a battle between art and science, speculate about the future, chat about time travel and discuss gender roles. Of course, playwright Steve Martin's "wild and crazy" humor is dispersed heavily throughout. Greg Parent plays Picasso and Evan Alboum takes on Einstein's manila. The combination is both artistic and energizing. ‘P A B L O P I C A S S O A T T H E L A P I N A G I L E ’ Wednesdays & Thursdays, 7:30 p.m. Fridays & Saturdays, 8 p.m. Sundays, 6:30 p.m. through August 17.

Recruiting Participants with Symptomatic Hepatitis G for Research Project Cheryl Laskowski, D N S .R N .C S , from the University of Vermont’s Department of Nursing, is conducting a research study on living with symptomatic hepatitis C . The purpose of this study is to examine what it is like to live with this disease based on the experiences of people who are presently living with hepatitis C . This information will help to identify how individuals understand their illness experience and to determine what system changes (if any) would be helpful to those individuals living with symptomatic hepatitis C . I am currently recruiting adult men and women (18 years of age and older) who have been diagnosed with hepatitis C and who are presently having symptoms related to hepatitis C . The study involves at least one interview that is approximately one and a half hours long. Participants will be compensated $20 for their time. The confidentiality of all communications associated with this study will be maintained to the maximum extent allowable by law.

JULY

- AUGUST 0 6

A R IE S (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): This horoscope is a collaboration between me and Rumi, a Sufi poet who died 730 years ago. “All disquiet springs from a search for quiet,” Rumi would like you to know. “And so the best way to cultivate inner peace,” I add, “is to learn to love the way everything keeps changing.” Rumi continues: “All illnesses spring from scavenging for delicacies.” I conclude: “So pluck the simple, inexpensive riches that are right in front of you.” TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): A long-distance runner I know pre pares for his competitions in a way that seems counterintuitive. For his next race, a 38-mile marathon in August, he has been running five miles a day four times a week. He will never actually practice a 38-mile jaunt in one stretch. This approach has never failed him in preparing for previous races. Like him, Taurus, you will soon be called on to pull off a marathon version of a task you’ve been doing on a smaller scale. By my astrological reckoning, you’ll have all the stamina and savvy you need to succeed. GEM IN I (May 21-June 20): Decide what mental pictures you’re sick and tired of looking at, then banish them from the sacred temple of your imagination. Next, browse the fertile depths of your subcon scious mind, searching for exciting new mental pictures that you want to install in your awareness full time. For instance, you might want to exorcise a certain fearful scenario that pops up whenever you’re under stress, and replace it with a bright, shiny vision of you at the top of your game. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Many fantastic beasts that are known to Harry Potter and his fellow wiz

ards are invisible to Muggles, the ordinary people. They include the yeti, also known as bigfoot; the clabbert, a tree-dwelling animal that’s a cross between a monkey and a frog; and the phoenix, a bird that periodi cally bursts into flames, dies, then resurrects itself from its ashes. But my favorite magical creature is the billywig, a mosquito-like insect whose sting causes its victims to become giddy and levitate off the ground. Even if you’re a Muggle, I predict you will have an experience that resembles a billywig bite in the coming week. An annoying prick will lead to a pleasant floating sensa tion.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): The force of gravity can’t be seen, heard or touched, and almost no one can explain it. There wasn’t even a word for it until the 17th century, when Isaac Newton identified it and gave it a name, borrowing the Latin term gravitas, meaning “heaviness” or “seriousness.” I predict that you’ll enjoy a similar breakthrough in the next month, Leo. You will finally recognize an essential energy or power or beauty that has forever been a secret to you, even though it has always been all around you.

VIRG O

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Largely because of humans, animal and plant species are dying off at a record rate. The Earth is in the midst of the greatest mass extinction since the disappearance of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. If the trend continues, a quarter of the mammals will be gone in 30 years, and half of all species will be exter minated by 2100. Most people aren’t consciously aware of the ongoing annihilation, yet we all feel it in our bones and know it in our souls. As a result, we carry a huge load of unac knowledged grief. If you wonder why you sometimes feel down or

anxious even though your life is going well, this secret tragedy may be the cause. Now is an excellent time to tune in to the sadness, Virgo, and recognize that it’s not caused by your personal failure.

L IB R A (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The legislatures of most American states have devoted a lot of time to choosing their power symbols. Pennsylvania, for instance, has made the chocolate chip cookie its Official State Cookie. The bola tie is the Official State Neckwear of Arizona; the morel is the Official State Mushroom of Minnesota; the Tule duck decoy is the Official Artifact of Nevada; and “Red or green?” is the official state question of New Mexico. According to my astrologi cal analysis, Libra, you’re in a phase when you should make similar desig nations for your own personal empire. What are your official cook ie, neckwear, mushroom, artifact and question? Don’t stop there. Add at least 20 more categories. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In a study of modern democra cy, a British political scientist has concluded that lying is necessary and justifiable. “Politics should be regard ed as less like an exercise in produc ing truthful statements and more like a poker game,” said Glen Newey. “And there is an expectation by a poker player that you try to deceive them as part of the game.” Personally, I find this attitude dis tasteful. My policy is to never be dis honest if I can help it. But then, I have the luxury to live like that. As a self-employed poet, I don’t have to hash out compromises with ideologi cal adversaries or hang out in moral gray areas in order to serve a greater good. But your path may be differ ent, Scorpio. In August, you might have to lie a little as you fight for a noble cause.

SA G ITTA R IU S

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’ve tried a wide variety of meditative practices from many traditions. I’ve calmed myself through rhythmic breathing; watched bemusedly as the nonstop cavalcade of images paraded across my mind; visualized sacred mandalas and cultivated unconditional love; taken rigorous inventories to deter mine whether the integrity of my actions matches my high ideals. And that’s just a few. But in 25 years, I’ve never heard of a meditation that asks me to go into a public place, take my attention completely off myself, and observe people with precise and compassionate objectivity. Luckily, you’re in a perfect phase to pioneer this radical new mode. It’ll energize you enormously.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): My friend Jane Heaven is an uncanny catalyst. Good things happen for me when she’s around; interesting connections and fun chal lenges pop up. Why? It has to do with her curiosity and willingness to try new things. One night on her radio talk show on KPFA, she goad ed me and five other guests not to speak but rather to sing everything we wanted to communicate. For the next two hours we improvised a cappella melodies and rhythms as we carried on our meandering discourse. I came away inspired to write two new songs, which I produced the next day. Now listen to this, Capricorn: Your own personal equiv alent of Jane Heaven is either already in your life, waiting for you to ask for more direct help, or else is hover ing close by, ready to be summoned. A Q U A RIU S

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): On a “Star Trek” rerun, a female starship captain 370 years in the future was considering a love affair with a 19th-century Irish bartender

— or rather a hologram of the bar tender in a realistic holographic recreation of an Irish village. Though she felt an attraction, she wished sev eral things about the man were dif ferent. Since she literally had the power to reprogram him, she did, creating an even more desirable char acter. But after their fling she felt remorse and sought advice from the ship’s non-human doctor. “I’ve noticed you humans often try to change those you fall in love with,” the doc noted. “Why is that?” Let this serve as a teaching story for you, Aquarius. You may feel like redesign ing people you love in the coming weeks, but I suggest you change yourself instead.

P IS C ES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Songbirds are disappearing all over the world, in part due to deforesta tion. If current trends continue, the tunes of Yellow-throated Warblers and Red-eyed Vireos, along with many others, will be gone forever. Meanwhile, crows, starlings and blue jays are enjoying a population explo sion. You’ll be hearing a lot more of their shrieks in the coming years. While you may not be able to do anything to prevent this, Pisces, being aware of it could help you avoid an analogous development in your personal life. In August, encourage your inner bird — the part of you that loves to take flight — to be melodious rather than shrill. ®

LOLA

t h e lo v e c o u n s e lo r

Dear Lola, Your response to Duh Bozo (a.k.a. "Romeo in Rutland") amused me. I was tempted to concur, but I believe you missed three important points: 1) When dating, some women decline to allow the man to buy dinner. Apparently they prefer to become acquainted prior to giving or accepting favors. In addition, in this nontraditional world where many women make better money than many men, why should the man always treat? Therefore, why is this gentleman's idea of a "pot luck" or, you might say, "Dutch" party so bad? 2) He "invited Zelda along with some of [his] closest friends..." I would suggest he should invite a few of his closest friends, and he should also ask Zelda to invite a few of hers. I am surprised this got past you. 3) I thought he was a bozo, too. But is it neces sary for someone in such an exalted position as yours to resort to insulting your inquisitors? Besides, what can we expect from someone who lives in Rutland, a city that, for all of memorable history, has been governed by Jeffrey Wennberg? . Puzzldd in Plainfield Dear Puzzled, '• -• ’• ' ; . ‘ How perceptive of you to recognize my exalted position. Sadly, most people don't. , \ ' v/ ' a ' • . Love, Lola

When you tell someone to take a hike and really mean it, Camel's Hump is the best destination, according to our

readers. And thank goodness Vermonters rejected Ira Allen's 18th-century moniker, Camel's Rump. The state's tallest Green Mountain, Mansfield, was runner-up, is

even though, according to a Long Trail Web site, it is the state's most visited mountain with 40,000 hikers per year. On both the fragile alpine ecosystem is severely challenged, though, so please take a hike gently, p h o t o : M a t t h e w t h o r s e n

42 I SEVENDAYSIES I 2003 GUIDE TO READERS' PICKS

TRAVEL, TOURISM & RECREATION « P.40 Those readers who like to slide downhill fast chose Stowe M ountain Resort for "superlative snow slope," and runner-up Jay Peak squeaked past Mad River and Smuggler's Notch. The less vertical

Catamount Family Center and Trapp Family Lodge were winner and close runner-up, respectively, for "most excellent x-c ski area." Some lucky read ers were able to say, "my backyard." . Voters were slightly less opinionated about the "best place to tee off," but the duffers among them declared Rocky Ridge in St. George the winner, with

Vermont National in South Burlington a near second. One helpful reader took the time to tell us the UVM watertower is the best place to p e e off. Thanks. Next time you tell someone to take a hike, you can recommend Camel's Hump as the best place to do it. (Maybe that's why it's on the Vermont quarter?) Mount M ansfield was runner-up, w ith the entire Long Trail a close third. Those on two wheels prefer the Burlington Bike Path first — that view of Lake Champlain has got to help — and the trails of Catamount Family Center second. Spare time? Rain or shine, Yankee Lanes in Colchester strikes it big w ith our readers for "best bowling alley," while Shelburne's Champlain

Lanes scored a distant second. Opinion was much more diverse for "best Vermont weekend getaway," however. Though Stowe came out ahead, near ly every place w ith a lake got a vote. Since Montreal was runner-up, we can only assume that a lot of Vermonters like to get away from the entire country now and again. We got lots of new ideas for "best place to make out," but never would have expected the very public Burlington Waterfront to rule — at least in the summer. "Home" was a none-too-surprising runner-up, and was the first choice for cozy cuddling in winter. The ever-popular "ski lift" was runner-up as a hot spot for stealing a cold-weather smooch. You've got to take pity, though, on the poor souls who resort to "public restrooms." Where's the romance, people? A ll those readers making out at home apparently noticed it also has the "biggest black flies." Given all the outdoor options — many of which earned votes — we were a little surprised by that answer. Monkton Pond has the dubious distinction of second place. Maybe the people who voted "home" live nearby? Either way, condolences, er, congratulations! ®

s n o w jo b

A bunch of S e v e n D ays readers listed "winter" as the "best reason to go back where you came from," but it's also true that a lot of

Vermonters and visitors like what the cold months afford: opportunities to get downhill fast. Stowe and Jay Peak were winner and runner-up for "superlative snow slope." Those who prefer horizontal to vertical opted for cross-country skiing at the Catamount Family Center first and Trapp Family Lodge second. Either way, taking a powder sure beats slogging through mud season,

Some Vermonters think of Stowe as a "gold town," but most

readers care more about the white stuff. The tourist-friendly town racked up

Daysies for both "superlative snow slope" and "best Vermont weekend getaway." And the storied Trapp Family Lodge came in second for "most excellent x-c ski area." Some excellent Stowe restaurants, inns, art emporiums and bike trails extend a year-round welcome to natives and flatlanders alike — no matter what color the foliage,

40 I SEVENDAYSIES I 2003 GUIDE TO READERS' PICKS

TRAVEL, TOURISM & RECREATION

e were certainly not surprised that our readers claimed "natural beauty" is the "best thing about Vermont," and a close variation on that theme, the Green

Mountains, was runner-up. We're ju st not sure who to

give the prize to. Some respondents had fairly low stan dards, we thought: "It's not New York," or "It's not Jersey." But folks who said "good cheap beer," "Red Square" or "Finnigan's" aren't get ting out enough.

SHi

Some respondents said they liked Vermont's four seasons, but even more groused that w inter was the "best reason to go back where you came from." (Of course, a number of readers noted, "This is where I came from" — a pointed reminder that Vermont still contains some actual Vermonters.) The answers were numerous and varied to this category, however, and we're pretty sure many readers interpreted it as reasons why o th e r people should leave, e.g., "get off our roads." To the person who said "the bison," we can only reply, "Huh?" Oh, runner-up was "too white" — and the voters weren't referring to snow. Perhaps brand-new Factory in day. When

it was all that recent grand-opening publicity, but Burlington's

ECHO at th e Leahy Center edged out the Ben & Jerry's

Waterbury as "best attraction for out-of-town guests" on a rainy it's sunny, though, natives and visitors prefer to head for Lake Champlain first and the Church Street Marketplace second. Downtown Burlington's pedestrian mall won by a landslide for "best place to spy or be spied," though. Some voters prefer to do their looking from runner-up Red

Square. Water ruled in the "best tourist-free site" category: Though its attraction can be fatal, the H untington Gorge came in first, the Indian Brook Reservoir second. Many lesser-known ponds, brooks and falls made the list, too — notwithstanding the indoorsy types who nominated the kind of watering holes that have stools. . . There were many opinions on "most scenic stretch of road" in Vermont, but Route 100 easily came out ahead. The specific "Route 7 betw een Shelburne and Charlotte" was runner-up. Sadly, the same cannot be said of the road between Shelburne and Burlington. But we have to say: The smartypants who suggested "Buell Street" really, really needs to leave town once in a while. » P.42

t a lk o f t h e t o w n

For some people, travel, tourism and recreation is all about shopping, and that's certainly a big reason why

Seven D ays

readers put the Church Street Marketplace in the runner-up spot for "best attraction for out-of-town guests (shine)." However, Burlington's pedestrian-friendly

downtown, which has made Top 10 lists nationwide, blew all competition out of the water as the "best place to spy or be spied." Let's face it, people-watching is even more fun than buying stuff. Any place you can do both, b o n u s ! p h o t o : m a t t h e w t h o r s e n

VVT't ^ "T T u

w a t e r w o r ld

In the two months since its grand opening, the 30,000-square-foot ECHO Center — officially

named ECHO at the Leahy Center for Lake Champlain — has already had 40,000 visitors and sold 4800 annual passes. If that doesn't suggest a "great lake," we don't know what does. And that attendance certainly explains why ECHO, on the Burlington Waterfront, beat out the sweet old Ben & Jerry's Factory in Waterbury as "best attraction for out-of-town guests (rain)." Even on sunny days, Vermont families must really like the 100 kid-friendly, hands-on exhibits, some of them akin to educational bathtub play. And who doesn't enjoy close-up personal time with native species such as lake sturgeons, bullfrogs or spiny softshell turtles? UVM's Rubenstein Ecosystem Science Laboratory shares a roof —■and relevant research findings — with ECHO at this unique exploratorium whose mission is "to educate and delight."

Imago (Colchester) Good Stuff (Burlington and St. Albans)

When it cums, er, comes to cock rings and dominatrix whips, Imago and Good Stuff run pretty much head to head. Imago won by a nose. Slightly more readers seem to prefer the Colchester erotica emporium's strictly sexual orientation to the broader mission statement of bi-located Good Stuff. The latter sells smoking products and gag gifts alongside the vibrators and inflatable dolls. Kudos to our creative reader who's found intimate applications for certain items in the Price Chopper pro duce aisle. To you smartasses who answered "State Legislature" and "Vermont Republican Headquarters," we say: better you than us.

Allowing all styles equal represen tation — with the notable exception of Hawaiian shirts, which are blindingly plentiful — Greener Pastures brings together clothing cliques who normally shun each other's shopping venues. If an essential part of the preworn-garments experience is, to you, trading a five-dollar bill for five pairs of pants, try rummaging through the bins at the weekend bythe-pound sale around back.

P .28 And speaking of marital aids, they turned out not to be the

only personal items on our list. When asked to name the best realtor, landscaper and alternative healer, ju st about everyone who responded offered a different response. Within those crowded fields, though, our

survey still has something to say: Trust Lang A ssociates to buy or sell your home; leave your landscaping to Horsford's Nursery; and take your naturopathic needs to Donna Powell. As for the visual arts, a couple of creative souls said they acquire their arts and crafts supplies at the Stowe dump and Queen City Steel, but the far more popular choice was Ben Franklin. Readers who prefer art made by others, however, stop in at the Firehouse Gallery or Frog Hollow. Having trouble actually s e e in g those art works? Our readers recom mend you pick up some specs at Burlington's Eyes of th e World. More in tune w ith audio than visual? Score some CDs at Pure Pop and pop them into a player acquired at Audio Solutions. Or make your own sounds on a guitar or drums acquired at Advance Music. When those hours of practice pay off and you land your first gig, you'll want to look your best. S e v e n D a y s readers recommend the beauty products at Soap Dish, and a new 'do from Indigo. For more permanent ornamentation, Yankee Tattoo makes the mark.

LaBarge Floral Design in Burlington gets another kind of Daysie for the best bouquets; readers who grow their own prefer Gardener's

Supply. We don't know if its new and bigger location helped, but Outdoor

Gear Exchange scored first for, well, outdoor gear, while readers opt to go indoors for pampering at the spa at Top Notch. Another kind of lift comes from Benway, winner of our "best taxi" Daysie. The Automaster in Shelburne drove home w ith number-one car dealer, while our readers prefer to get greased and gassed at Oil n' Go. The more fit among them prefer to work out at the YMCA, while the rest of 'em surf the Net with the help of Adelphia. Our readers suggest the Merchants Bank as the place to stash your cash for all these purchases. Ch-ching! ®

Fletcher Allen isn't the only health-care provider in town. Dr. Donna Powell, N.D. — that's Naturopathic Doctor — is the alternative

medicine provider our readers most often prescribe. Powell takes an eclectic, holistic approach. After examining your tongue and eyeballs and checking your pulses, she'll help you adjust your eating habits or bring out the acupuncture needles. As she explains it, "We don't just look at one symptom, but the whole picture, and see how we can enhance the body's innate healing qualities."

In their respective categories, Home Depot hammered the hardware com petition, Banana Republic was named top banana for men's clothing and TJ Maxx racked up the maximum number of votes for women's active wear. Likewise, readers didn't hide their feelings for Victoria's Secret lingerie or kid about their love for Gap Kids. The Church Street Marketplace was a definite draw. Readers identified

Ecco and Sweet Lady Jane as the best places to buy women's evening and casual wear, respectively. Other downtown winners: Stella for shoes, Von Bargen's for jew elry and Grass Harp for gifts. Sewly Yours, at the top of Church Street, was the bridal shop to which the most readers said "I do." Never mind the helpful soul who filled in the blank beside "Bride's best bet" w ith the advice: "Get out while you can." We're not sure if that same person or another smart-ass defined the "best place to work out" as "my bedroom." We're also still wondering whether the reader who wrote "fuck ing hippies" beside "best alternative healer" was making a sociological observation or offering a health tip based on personal experience. We challenge the readers who claim the best pipes and sex toys are "in Montreal" to check out Burlington's Full Tank — our highest-ranking "glass" shop — and Imago, Colchester's dandy distributor of dildos and more. »

When the Hews Channel 5 Meteorologist gets

blamed for unwelcome precipitation, he likes to say, "Don't shoot the Messner." At least his disposition is always sunny — as regular viewers of WPTZ have known for the 13 years Tom Messner has been delivering the good, or bad, climatological news. Not to mention listeners on sister radio stations WKOL, WOKO and WJOY. The 42-yearold "storm tracker," who has an American Meteorological Society Seal of Approval, doesn't mind having his head in the clouds. Indeed, he says the best thing about his job is, "The weather here is incredibly exciting!" That tornado and hail in Vermont last week must have been very gratifying. Rain hats off to the area's "wisest weather man."

WCAX-TV not only chronicles history as it happens; as Vermont's first television station it also made history. This September WCAX-TV w ill mark 49 years of broadcasting. Its slogan is "Vermont's Own," and it truly is. Owner Stuart "Red" Martin and his son Peter Martin, the vice president and general manager, respectively, have always been true to their Vermont roots. WCAX anchors weigh in on everything local for a full hour each Monday through Friday evening — the first and only TV station in Vermont to do so. And it remains the most watched and most respected TV news source in the area. Now that's a Green Mountain statement.

"Whale Tails" (South Burlington) by Jim Sardonis U tility Boxes (Burlington) by Clark Derbes

Anyone cruising into the Queen City from the south on 1-89 has surely noticed the tw in tails protruding from a roadside knoll in South Burlington. Created by Randolph artist Jim Sardonis, the 13-foot sculpted whale tails have been one of the area's most controversial artworks. Originally installed near Randolph and moved north in 1999, the pieces are an interesting addition to the scenery in New England's only landlocked state. Recently someone vandalized the structures, spray-painting them gold and green as high as they could reach — the damage was cleaned up in a matter of days. Whether you love them or hate them, you can't ignore these odd artifacts' influence on local culture. ®

If you happen by a downtown Burlington bar and catch

some soothing downtempo beats, there's a good chance DJ A-Dog (Andy Williams) is manning the decks inside. The 2 7-year-old has traveled the country performing for snowboarders and b-boys, but he calls the Queen City home. Area clubgoers seem to have fallen under the spell of his spinning, voting ADog the "best club DJ."

Soul/blues diva Tammy Fletcher ranked number one in the "best vocalist" catego ry, while the sweet-voiced singer-songwriter Gregory Douglass placed second.

Vermont-based thespian Luis Guzman — who has been seen in P u n c h -D r u n k L o v e , T ra ffic and other mainstream flicks — and Burlington stage actor John Alexander tied for second place.

Take a stroll down Burlington's Main Street any Wednesday, Friday or Saturday night, and you're certain to be serenaded by the sounds of karaoke at JP's Pub. College kids, hipsters and locals all pack the place to take a turn at the mic. Although the sing-along system has popped up in pubs all around the area, S e v e n D a y s readers voted resoundingly that J F s is the prime place to let it rip. In a close second, they chose the outra足 geous, campy crooning offered cabaret-style each Wednesday at 135 Pearl.

veryone knows that Vermont is good for a little R&R, but, according to S e v e n D a y s' first-ever "best-of" poll, the Green Mountains are also a prime place for quality A&E.

Higher Ground, five years into the game, ran away w ith the award for "best live music venue."

Red Square's crowded confines earned the readers' runner-up. Some of you, however, are clinging to the past — former hotspots Hunt's and Club Toast both received votes. You know it's a good night at

Six-string

slinger Trey Anastasio, founding member of "best local band" winners Phish, and now a veritable grandfather of the jam-band movement, earned a Daysie for "best musi足 cian." The furry front man found fame with his patented guitar solos and quirky song足 writing. A graduate of the University of Vermont, Anastasio has remained in the area as his quartet evolved from a crunchy bar band to international stars. In recent years, too, Anastasio has branched out with a solo recording and tour, collaborations with Les Claypool of Primus, and perform足 ances with the Vermont Youth Orchestra.

New World Tortilla may have Burlington's tastiest takeout, but don't try eating it in the car without lots of napkins. The restaurant gets all it's ratios right: salsa to sour cream, jalapenos to melted cheddar, ginger slaw to cilantro. The result is a delicious but potentially oozing meal that might be described as Nouveau Mexican if it weren't huge, cheap and wrapped in foil. When the place closed down for renovations earlier this year, a lot of hungry Vermont muchachos were anxious for it to reopen. Brother-owners Chris and Mike Hathaway have got a great wrap — six of them, actually. They also serve tacos, rice platters and flat, "quesadilla-style" tortillas. Ole.

We're still trying to figure out why a catering business would call itself Let's Pretend. Reality doesn't get any harsher than doing dinner for 2000 in somebody else's kitchen. Or in some cases, no kitchen at all. Since she took over the food management of the Burlington Boathouse cafe — renamed Splash! — owner Barb Bardin has been overseeing approximately eight catering gigs a week. That's a lot of chicken satay

It's not just proximity to the Roxy that makes the Daily Planet the best spot in Burlington for a first date. The room is intimate — if a watering hole can be described that way — with distractions enough to take the pressure off. Similarly, the music is not cranked to the point that you can't hear each other, but it's loud enough to keep things tete a tete. Smoking is optional. Lose your date at the bar if you're not hungry for more. Otherwise, the two of you can move on to the restaurant. ®

Vermont Pub and Brewery (Burlington) Three Needs (Burlington)

There's no Miller Time zone at the Vermont Pub & Brewery. Burlington's best-loved British-style bar serves its own brand of beer — two caskconditioned ales and nine beers are almost always on tap. Smoked porter, Irish stout, "dog bite" bitter and Bombay I.P.A. flow freely thanks to master brewer Greg Noonan, who also owns the joint. To soak up the suds, a full pub menu offers standard English eats like bangers and mash, shepherd's pie and fish and chips. No grease-soaked newspa per, though. A full array of burgers should satisfy American appetites. Just don't call the waiter "Bud."

It may be losing money, but City Market sure is gaining food fans. Just check out the parking lot at rush hour. Burlington's downtown grocery store opened a year and a half ago amidst a swirl of controversy about the process by which it was selected over Shaw's. Once the shelves were stocked, though, most of the customer kvetching stopped. Shoppers were dazzled by the well-lit, easy-to-maneuver-in market with its healthy produce section, full-service deli, butcher service and wine wall. The only thing missing from the spread? Happy staffers. The workers wasted no time forming a union, after which almost two dozen of them lost their jobs. Last we checked, "co-op" was short for cooperative.

Hughes have invented an eating emporium that caters to the most dis criminating foodie without being pretentious. The place definitely has a European feel, and it's not just because of Pip's English accent. Everything — the scones, the grilled panini — is made fresh. But EGF also carries high-end specialty foods and a diverse selection of olives and cheeses. Even Greek yogurt. You can get coffee-to-go or an early dinnerto-stay. A revitalized opera house put Vergennes back on the cultural map a few years ago. Now someone should study the economic impact of Addison County's growing interest in good eating.

River Run (Plainfield) Rosie's (Middlebury)

There's a white house with red trim smack in the center of downtown Plainfield that looks like it's sagging. Plus, a dozen people are perpetu ally camped out on the porch most weekend mornings, sipping coffee and waiting for the best Southern food this side of the Mason-Dixon line. Biscuits and gravy have found their way to a number of Vermont eateries, such as Burlington's Penny Cluse Cafe. But if you're looking for pulled-pork barbeque, grits, collard greens or real home fries, River Run obliges, improbably, on the edge of the Northeast Kingdom. Funky and familial, the atmosphere is as good as the eats. Table-sharing is stan dard. Don't worry about bringing an appetite, you'll work one up while you wait. And grab a bottle of the house green-tomato ketchup before you leave. You'll never go back to Heinz.

F O O D & D R IN K « P.4 England Culinary's Main Street Bar and Grill. Those looking for coffee as a main course have strong opinions, too. In Burlington, Uncommon Grounds beat out Muddy Waters for "best place to get caffeinated" — perhaps because they roast their own beans and serve a wide selection of teas. There's also a full case of enticing sweets confronting patrons at the Uncommon Grounds cash register. Readers also follow their sweet teeth to Mirabelles, which is everybody's favorite bakery by a huge portion... of triple-chocolate mocha mousse cake. Vergennes didn't make the map for breakfast, but it sure did for lunch and dinner. The aptly named Eat Good Food is the best place to do lunch outside Chittenden County. The grilled panini is "to drive for." But be sure to save room for dinner at the intimate Black Sheep Bistro. Chef Michel Mahe used to cook at Starry N ight Cafe, which gave Fire & Ice competi tion for "best place to eat dinner outside Chittenden County if they're pay ing." But Vergennes already has the haute cuisine scene covered with Christophe's. So Mahe created his own niche by opening an eatery that's a lot more affordable than it looks. All the appetizers are five bucks. You pay more than that for a chocolate martini on Friday night at the W aiting Room, but Seven Days readers agree its yuppie-in-training cocktail hour is award-winning. The casual crowd prefers Vermont Pub & Brewery — our readers overwhelmingly claim it's the best place to get a local beer. Apres-skiers head for the curiously strong brews at The Shed in Stowe. If they can't get in — the small, rustic room is as cozy as it is crowded — it's on to the Matterhorn. For real romancing, though, a good feed always beats out a few beers. The Daily Planet scored tops for best place to bring a first date. Might that have anything to do with their ad campaign profiling lovers who met there? Leunig's Bistro came in second. As expected, a few readers couldn't resist the temptation of thinking outside the box on this one: The Sunset Drive-In got four votes.

Gourmet goodies go a long way — even at a bad movie. Seven Days read ers purchase their pate at Fresh Market. For vino, they prefer Wine Works. City Market squeaked past Healthy Living for best natural foods, but the co-op's downtown deli can't touch the veggie-lunch supremacy of Stone Soup. We're hoping a fresh Daysie will cheer things up at City Market. ®

You won't find pasta e fagioli or fettuccine alfredo on the menu at Trattoria Delia. The gourmet grotto recalls an alpine hunting lodge and specializes in northern Italian fare: Wild boar, rabbit and venison are more common than tomatoes and shellfish. There's no cozier place to break breadsticks over a good bottle of Chianti. Proprietors Lori and Tom Delia run a mamma-and-pappa operation. He controls the kitchen. She manages the front of the house, which bustles with well-trained waitstaff who know their gnocchi and how to pronounce them. The restaurant's award-winning all-Italian wine list is a testament to the duo's devotion to the Old Country. Once a year, the Delias travel to Italy to learn more about the country's food and wine. Trattoria Delia is the next best thing to being there.

D R IN K ermont restaurants live and die by the post-prandial cri tiques of their customers. Appropriately, they call it "word of mouth." Our first "best-of" survey makes those assess ments official. Not surprisingly, Seven Days readers turn out to have eclectic tastes. For food and service, they say si to Trattoria Delia in Burlington — that is, if someone else is paying for more than just the antipasto. But they're not too rarified to appreciate a take-out burrito from New World Tortilla, a late-night food fix at Nectar's or a weinie wielded by the iconic Hot Dog Lady, Lois Bodoky. Leonardo's was the number-one pizza pick. No one else in town delivers a Thai pie. Chittenden County diners opt for Asian when they're picking up the tab themselves. A Single Pebble beat out Pacific Rim — by one vote — in the "you're buying" category. Guess it depends whether you're in the mood for a great bowl of noodles or marvelous mock eel. A Single Pebble actually showed up twice — it came in second to Trattoria in the fine-dining catego ry — which suggests the proprietors have hit on the right mix of elegance and affordability. That recipe for success is working in two locations: Barre and Burlington.

Sneakers and Penny Cluse Cafe are paired as winners in the breakfast and brunch categories. Sneakers in Winooski is the favorite brunch spot in Chittenden County; Penny Cluse came in a close second. Southwestern-flavored Penny Cluse Cafe serves the best breakfast, with Sneakers in hot pur suit. Another parallel: Lines form outside both establishments every week end morning — even when it's below zero. Maybe winter has something to do with the state's impressive and varied selection of great breakfast spots. Vermonters take the first meal of the day seriously. Compare the funky fare at Daysie-winning River Run in Plainfield — where you can almost always get catfish for breakfast — with Rosie's, an egg-slinging institution on Route 7 just south of Middlebury. Brunchgoers appreciate the elegance of roasted grapefruit at the historic Mist Grill in Waterbury, as well as the all-you-can-eat buffet cooked up by New » p.6

The decor rocks — literally — at The Mist Grill in Waterbury. The former grist mill makes the most of exposed stone

Years in China

taught Steve Bogart the difference between real Asian food and the poor American imitation. After years of catering and guest chef appearances, the culture crossing cook finally landed his own restaurant. When it first opened, diners all over the state jour neyed to A Single Pebble, which is next to a bowling alley on the Barre-Montpelier Road. The Asian eatery expanded — twice — before duplicating itself two years ago in Burlington. The prices are populist, which explains why the Pebble was voted "best place to have dinner in Chittenden County if you're pay ing." Just try to limit yourself to one lychee martini.

Daysie, daysie give us your answer true... —

and you did. In our first-ever best-of contest, we asked you to w eigh in on everything from break fast spots to bike trails, pet food to politicians. Most everyone got into th e evaluative spirit -— except th e area's yoga instructors, who decided as a group that com petion runs counter to their philosophy. Our, om, conclusion is this: Seven Days readers are pretty astute cultural critics. You singled out A Single Pebble and crowed collectively over an independent bookstore. You were trey enthusiastic about Phish and made your point concerning WNCS. Only a few chain stores made it into the winners' circle; we'd like to keep it that way. Vermont is hom e to som e remarkably unique mom-and-pop enterprises. Despite the state's m eager population, th ey survive on vision, determ ination and, in th is case, good sportsm an ship. You did your part, too. Thanks for lettin g us know th e score. You love them. You love them not. You love them . You love them not... w
