Folk artist Warren

Kimble finds

greener pastures — outside Vermont Bv

Yvonne

ove over Martha Stewart; Warren Kimble is on the way. The Brandon folk artist, whose career has sky-rocketed in the past five years, recently returned from North Carolina, where he signed a contract to create a line of home furnishings. Sofas, yard goods, lamps, placemats, bed throws, duvets and more — all reflective of Kimble's version of rural Vermont life — will be sold in major department stores nationwide beginning next spring. Simultaneously, Kimble, 62, signed a contract with Sears & Roebuck to create a line of textiles — called the Lake Dunmore Collection — that will carry his folk art designs on pot holders, aprons, tea towels and the like. With his signature Holstein cows, cats, sheep, rabbits and scenes from rural Vermont already reproduced on more than two million art prints — not to mention gift cards, doormats, bird houses, furniture, wallpaper, cerafrtlcs'; plllows, calendars and scads of other household and collector items — Kimble is considered one of America's best-known living folk artists. His work seems to attract both serious art collectors and the general public. It's displayed in the prestigious Frank Miele Gallery in New York City, and notecards featuring Kimble's artwork are sold in the Louvre gift shop in Paris. Harrod's of London commissioned Kimble to create merchandising displays. Actor Michael J. Fox stopped by one day to buy a Kimble original. Talk-show hosts Kathy Lee Crosby and Regis Philbin waxed poetic for 20 minutes on a recent show about a Kimble doormat that Philbin's wife had purchased in Belgium. And QVC featured several of his pieces on a show last year. With the artist providing his usual off-the-cuff witticisms, the buyers' channel sold out of Kimbles — twice. Yet on almost any given day, you can drive off Route 7 to Country Club Road in Brandon and visit Kimble at his studio in the restored 1790 red barn located a stone's throw from the 200-year-old, Federalstyle home that he and his wife, Lorraine, remodeled eight years ago. There, basking in the sunlight that streams through nearly floor-to-ceiling windows,

n an odd, quirky way, Warren Kimble owes his success to Casdeton State College. It was a part-time job there that brought him to Vermont in 1970 with his first wife and their infant son, Chris. The job paid $4000 a year, but eventually evolved into a full-time job that paid a bit more. Kimble and his wife divorced soon after. He and his son continued to live in the first of many old houses that he refurbished in Brandon. He married his current wife, Lorraine, in 1976. She brought her own two kids — Chris Kent and Elizabeth Glenshaw — to the marriage, along with her artistic skills and love of refurbishing antiques. Together, the couple has made more than 12 homes in town. For the next seven years, Kimble continued to teach at Casdeton and work on his art. For fun and extra money, he did the things that brought him pleasure. He ran an antiques shop, a good excuse for digging in attics and attending auctibnsall 'over V e r m o n t . •" He built and furnished large ? doll houses, really designed for c adult collectors. He carved whimsical wooden marionettes. At Casdeton, Kimble was part of a three-person department. "It was wonderful because it meant that if the students wanted to try something, to learn something, we had to learn it, too," he recalls. Thus, Kimble tried his hand at everything from printmaking to sculpture. But every year the administration pressured him to get an advanced degree and every year he balked. He had earned a bachelors degree in fine arts in 1957 from Syracuse University and had pursued careers in advertising and teaching before coming to Vermont. He could understand Castleton's desire to have welleducated staff, yet he couldn't see what another degree would do for either him or the students. Kimble left Casdeton after 13 years in 1983, a decision he has never regretted. He then turned his energies to the pursuits he enjoyed most — antiques and painting — and eventually realized that the work giving him the greatest pleasure combined those interests: He began to paint directly on old wood. It wasn't barn board, he says, but "things that had been

you'll find the soft-spoken, bespectacled artist painting some pastoral scene or farm animal on an old door or tabletop, surrounded by the wry and whimsical creatures that have become his stock-in-trade. A wooden Uncle Sam marionette hangs from a barn beam. A bevy of bird houses painted in subtle shades of brown, blue, red and black are individually designed with whirlygigs and carved birds. A carved wooden Noah's ark is surrounded by a host of animals, lined up, naturally, two by two. Nearby, shelves hold Kimble's collection of colorful tin sand buckets and shovels. And all aboutjhe studio, there are the solid-yet-simple pieces of furniture he's picked up in forays among Vermont's antique shops, each sporting some

Kimble addition, like handpainted panels of hillsides and cows and airy trees, or the round barn from the Shelburne Museum gracing a green meadow. If there's any doubt that Kimble is still a child at heart, ask about the swing that hangs from the barn's massive beams. It's there for the pure joy of gliding through space after an hour or two of painting. Even the floors were installed to nourish Kimbles young-at-heart nature — they're cement, but painted to

look like marble and heated with warm water that flows through underlying pipes. On the coldest day, he can work in comfort in stockinged feet. "I love it here. I love the work," he says. "I'm so lucky I've had all this success. It's been so fast and wonderful and, well, overwhelming. But there's always this." Kimble gestures toward the view through the windows, toward his lifelong collections and his most recent paintings. "I still have to come back here and paint. That's what it's all about," he adds. "It is luck and perseverance and hard work, I know. But most of the time I didn't know I was working. I was just living and doing what I love. It's crazy but it's wonderful."

("The Last Time"), The Happiest Guys in the World ("The World is Big") and the silly but clever Zambonis ("Bob Marley & the Hartford Whalers"). Chad contributes a bluegrass-inspired, tonguein-cheek quickie ("Jerry's Gone"), and the chaser is the lo-fi "Elephant" from Burlington's vocally challenged warbler, Joshe Henry. Pop Pie , like most compilations, contains slices that were not created equal. But it's a sonic pastry that proves local bands can, indeed, bake a cheery pie. Celebrate the happyrock with contributors Zola Turn, Chin Ho!, James Kochalka Superstar, Lindy Pear, D. Jarvis Band, Joshe Henry and nrrrd this Friday at Metronome.

POP PIE (Big Heavy World, comp. CD) — Stupid Clubs retro-hip "Candy Music" is the perfect intro to a collection that honors musics friendliest component: melody. Often bouncy but not too fluffy, the disc is the latest asteroid to spin off from Jim Lockridge's unstoppable Big Heavy World. Pop Pie presents local bands (this time extending generously to a certain gang from Connecticut, variations of which contribute three of these tracks) who truly favor an unabashed pop tradition as well as alt-rock and indie units that embrace it gingerly. The best of the former here are Lindy Pear ("The Tradeoff in Vermont"), D. Jarvis Band

1, C D ) — My question is, why isnt this Burlington/central Vermont acid jazz band on a major label. This sophomore CD release — produced by band leader Michael Chorney and recorded at the Tape Kitchen (Brooklyn) by Mark Spencer and at Charles Eller Studio by Lane Gibson — suggest the band is more than ready to strut its stuff in a bigger pool of limelight. Shed puts the emphasis on Heloise Williams. But when she's on, as in "Give It Up," the ad achieves a slinky sound reminiscent of the outfit behind . decade ago.

Seven out of 10 tracks here are originals, with homages to Ellington, Mingus and Young — that's Neil Young — thrown in. Of the latter, Mingus "Pithycanthropus Erectus" is a tantalizing sonic see-saw between air a n d f i i l s i l Paczkowski's funky, moody "Swag" puts the hip and the hop where its beat is, while Chorneys "Planet" inserts a vague element of consciousness — and the only real step-out by guitarist Hughes. Solos are more of a tease in this tightly united front, though; ViperHouse is truly in sync with its sizable self, and the effortless-sounding, less-is-more musicianship makes for a seductive groove.

used by people, items that were distressed already" — table tops, blanket chests, cabinets, doors. And the subjects he enjoyed most were those he could find in his immediate environment: domestic animals, country scenes, churches, American flags. As Kimble discovered his subject matter, attention to his work took off; he began to sell more paintings and furniture at shows, as well as at The Gallery on the Green in Woodstock, where his art has long been exhibited. It was at The Gallery in 1991 that Laurie and John Chester, former bankers from Boston, first saw Kimble's artwork. Today, they, too, are happy that Kimble left Casdeton and struck out on his own. The Chesters had moved to Woodstock to open Wild Apple Graphics, an artpublishing business that initially featured artists from the British Naive School, a category applied to self-taught or primitive artists. "We didn't normally look for artists in the States, but we went to the Gallery and saw Warren's work and just loved it," Laurie Chester recalls. "I called him up. He was a bit reluctant, but we, ] met and I talked him into letting us take some work to a premier art expo in New York. The response was just overwhelming. People still talk about it." That serendipitous moment made the Chesters' career as well as Kimble's. From the original seven prints they reproduced, the collection has grown to more than 150 paintings. And although Wild Apple Graphics now represents more than 70 artists, Kimble remains the most successful. "His work has universal appeal," Laurie continues. "Men like them as much as women, and they appeal across all age and social groups. I think it's because they evoke a more simple way of life. And they're fun, they make you laugh, but they're not so quirky that you can't understand them." Maybe it has something to do with Nutley, one of the two northwestern New Jersey communities where Kimble lived as a boy. Martha Stewart also lived there. But while Stewart is about gardening, cooking and decorating, Kimble's work is about celebrating the animate and inanimate objects of rural America. Kimble had always loved painting, and he was lucky that his parents told him frequently what a wonderful

s a teenage kid growing up in New Jersey, Tom Simon used to sit around his house and play a low-tech, dice-and-card-based baseball game. But times have changed. Today, Simon sits around his house and plays one he invented. "Tim Dixon's NY-P Baseball" is a minor-league version of the major-league industry standard, Strat-O-Matic / ** Baseball. The Vermont Expos are a featured club here, along with the 13 other teams from the 1996 New York Penn League season. Opponents in the game set line-ups using the actual players, make strategy, and then roll dice to determine how every at-bat plays out. The idea for "Tim Dixon" came from one of Simon's regular baseball board-game opponents, 12-year-old Burlington resident Jeff Francis. "Jeff's my "little brother" at Tom Simon and Jeff Francis at 'bat' the King Street Youth Center," page spread on "Tim Dixon" himself with a game ready to Simon explains. "He said to that included some illustrations hit the market — and the conme, 'Wouldn't it be great if we making the game look more cept scared him a little.

"The The answer, Simon agreed, "One day I came home and original point wasn't to make was yes.

all, after just two months, Simon's about ready to break even. Meanwhile, back in Burlington, the President of the Vermont chapter of the Society of American Baseball Researchers is trying to sound businesslike as he explains why the

game's called "Tim Dixon Baseball." "I took Tim in as part of the Expos 'host family' program. He turned out to be a great guy. We've become great friends." The pair's stayed in touch, too — Simon was a guest at Dixon's wedding last year. But even friendship knows some bounds. Like a virtual bum arm, for example. Again, Simon explains: "I was in Florida for spring training, and Tim and [fellow prospect] Michael Barrett were playing their game. It was great — half the Expos were in the room — and Tim was pitching himself, of course." Dixon rolled a "999," which meant he was referred to something called the "unusual play chart." The chart, according to Simon, held some awkward news. "The pitcher hears a snap in his elbow and has to miss his next five starts," it read. How would the real-life pitcher react to his two-dimensional injury? "Tim didn't like that," Simon says. "He told me to take it right out of the game." ® "Tim Dixon's NY-P Baseball" is available at Expos Locker Room in the Champlain Mill, Winooski, for $12 each. The unusual play chart has been removed.

emove their names from certain reviews of Kate and Anna McGarrigle's concerts or albums, and you might think the writers were describing a trip to the Shelburne Country Store. Terms like "downhome," "carefully woven," "tradition-minded" and "homegrown" evoke an almost folksier-than-thou image of the fiftysomething singer-songwriters from the village of SaintSauveur-des-Monts, Quebec. With elegantly braided harmonies and spare acoustic arrangements, they've got NPR written all over them. In fact, the McGarrigles have guested on "All Things Considered," "A Prairie Home Companion" and "Mountain Stage." But while the sisters' work occasionally reflects upon their hardy native terrain — and the hardy people who live and work it — their plain-spoken poetry belies an equal sophistication in matters of the heart. Best known as songwriters — their work has been recorded since the early '70s by the likes of Maria Muldaur, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton — the McGarrigles have quietly developed international notoriety for their own witty performances and perspectives on contemporary life. Kate — the elder by 14 months — and Anna play banjo, guitar, piano and button accordion, and sing in English and French.

ody Williams' Nobel Prizewinning work to ban land P Q [ | mines has diverted public attention from an equally lethal type of left-over weaponry. That's the claim put forward by Ron Podlaski, who, like Williams, lives in Vermont and dedicates his life to campaigning against abandoned explosives that regularly kill and maim civilians in distant lands. Unlike Williams, however, Podlaski is a former Green Beret who has received little recognition for his efforts, which are not likely to culminate in anything so grand as this week's anti-land mine treaty-signing ceremony in Ottawa. "Land mines are classified as unexploded ordnance," Podlaski

past 25 years. Podlaski suspects that number is far too low. A Laotian government official has stated, he says, that the country suffers f | C S 20,000 casualties each year as people come into contact with baseball-size "bombies." Many millions of these deadly devices were dropped on Laos by United States B-52 bombers from 1964 to 1973. On a per-capita basis, Laos in fact ranks as the most heavily bombed nation in human history. The country of four million inhabitants was struck with two million tons of ordnance, much of it in the form of cluster bombs. These pod-like containers are designed to open in midair, each of them sending 670 bombies over a wide swathe of terrain. A single bombie is capable of killing anyone within

mainly in villages, rice paddies and fields. I challenge that," he declares. It is estimated that landmines kill or maim 26, 00 people a year, with 100 million mines still unaccounted for around the world. Podlaski argues that bombies are more indiscriminate than land mines in the mayhem they produce — both when they explode upon impact and when they're inadvertently detonated years later. Because unexploded bombies look like balls, they're especially

attractive to children, he notes. By campaigning almost exclusively around the issue of land mines, complains Podlaski, Williams and her colleagues have let slip an opportunity to alleviate the broader UXO threat in Laos and other countries. "I have a problem with them refusing to address this issue as a matter of substance. They say it's on their agenda, but the bottom line is, what are they doing about it in Laos? Very, very little." Advocates of a ban on the

The campaign to ban land mines is incomplete, asserts a Vermont activist who did not get the Nobel Peace Prize explains, "but the majority of unexploded ordnance isn't land mines." Such is the case in Southeast Asia, at least, where Podlaski worked for six years as arreoreselntative of the Vietnam

have a very difficult time undertaking a campaign to ban cluster bombs." Rieser explains that such a campaign would "get nowhere" because such weapons are so highly valued in the arsenals of the United States and many other countries. The U.S. currently leads the world in the production of bombs.

ANCIENT MYSTERIES Sculptor Pavel Kraus says he is seeking a sacred space "stripped of decoration, fashion and other ornaments" in his current exhibit, "Sex and Death: Offerings." The Czech-born artist, who works in New York and Vermont, has attempted to turn Burlington's Exquisite Corpse Artsite into that space. His offerings and altars murmur about ancient mysteries in the tongue of contemporary art, but he uses that language to express his concern for issues of physical transience and spiritual regeneration that are truly ancient. The "Sex" portion of the show's title has only vague relevance. Visions of "Death" on the other hand, are commonplace here. Like an archaeologist, Kraus uncovers the pieces of a

town, Kimble louse coyeted ift gray asphalt shingles that he had passed many times before. Its front sun porch, an add-on, hid the buildings original lines but something about it attracted him, even though the house wasn't on the market. He knew that, beneath layers of remodeling, was a classic Federal building waiting to be revealed. The Kimbles bought the house. "We could see its wonderful character right away. Once we removed the porch, there was this fabulous facade," he recalls. Unfortunately, neglect and weather had not been good to the building's foundation. Most of it had to be rebuilt and the windows replaced. Inside, they found that the original structure had hardly been tampered with, just covered up. They stripped and exposed, installed .and s replaced — and, of course, painted with the Kimble ??

touch. Outside, Lorraine has designed a garden that is sturfning at all times of the ; 5 year and combines practicality with whimsy. The couple's combined artistic rendering of this 1800 building was recognized in a 1993 article in Country Home magazine. Kimble says that finding the house and working^with it helped him find his art. There was a connection between restoring the houses original simplicity and beauty and finding those same aesthetics in his own work traveled to Connecticut, where he joined fellow folk artists who display annually at theWiltonBibrationof American Craftsmanship.

kay, "Buy Nothing Day" has passed, and it's that time of year again. Call it what you will, celebrate whatever you're celebrating — Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, solstice — if you're close enough to American culture to be reading this, somebody probably expects you to give them a present. If you're like us, you wish you had time for the perfect hand-crafted gift for everyone you know. But you don't. So you shop. For us Web-geeks, though, the question is not "Do you shop on the Web?" OF COURSE YOU SHOP ON THE WEB. But more cautious geeks may wonder whether it's safe to send your credit card number to a Web site or over e-mail, while Net newcomers may ask where and how to shop on the Web. We'll take these questions one at a time. First, repeat after us: "It is safe to send your credit card number to a Web site." Let's

thought, "Eureka! The next great shopping mall location!" and immediately opened a zillion of them on the Internet. Actually, we don't find them very interesting. What's the point of pulling 100 stores together in one Web site instead of having them in 100 different sites? Practically none. After all, the whole idea of the Web is to have a bunch of different documents and computers in different places look like they're all part of the same flow of ideas. Maybe it's a little easier to browse an Internet shopping mall than 100 separate stores, but frankly, we don't do much browsing on the Net. If we're So what's all the worry not sure what kind of present about? Well, Internet commerce is new, and with the new to get for somebody, we're unlikely to get that "Aha! The comes the unknown, and peoperfect gift!" experience from ple are scared of the unknown. looking at a paragraph of text Many of the same fears were or a fuzzy picture on the comapplied to telephone sales and puter screen. The best browsing catalog sales when they were is done in your local shopping new. People got over it; they'll mecca, in person. get over it with Internet comBut if we do know exactly merce, too. what we want, the Web is a So, what do you shop for good way to home right in and on the Net? Let's put it this order it. Hence, here are some way: The shopping mall folks

company. But what about those evil hackers and crackers who snatch your credit-card number from the ether of the Internet and post it on every bulletin board in Bulgaria for all to see? We figure they're in league with the geeks who drive around the neighborhood with radio scanners, picking your credit card number off your cordless phone while you're ordering from LL Bean. Which isn't to say it couldn't happen, but last time we checked, there had not been a single authenticated case of credit-card theft as a result of sending a credit-card number across the Internet.

apply some common sense here: Would you give your credit card to the first person who walked up to you on the street and asked for it? Of course not. Do you give your credit card number to some waiter you just met at a restaurant? Of course you do. If your $15 dinner turns into $150 worth of something else, you complain to the credit card company, and you know who to suspect. The company has to reverse the charges while they investigate. If your credit card is misused, in most circumstances your liability is limited to the first $50, or nothing at all if you report it right away. Our experience with credit card companies is that they're very good about helping you investigate charges and reversing the ones that look bogus — probably because they are legally obligated to do it.

Would you give them your credit card number over the phone? Do you know anyone who has purchased from them before? Hey, if you're still not sure, e-mail us and we'll tell you what we know about the

So use the same common sense when purchasing on the Net. Are you buying from a "big-name" company? Does the site have a telephone number you can call to check it out?

A i a z o r i ' C o i — These guys invented mass book-selling on the Net. They're great to do business with and list everything, even if they don't have it. And if it says "ships in 2-3 days," they really do. Discounted, too. C D N o h . c o i — A huge selection of CDs. If you've set your Web browser so it can play audio, you can listen to scratchy 30-second clips of your intended purchase. That part's not really worth it, but our shopping experience with this outfit has been excellent.

Not a catchy title, but Senator Patrick Leahy has a good list of Vermont businesses on the Net. They're organized only by name, but a random selection of Vermont craft-related sites includes things like Clay by Campbell, Fat Cat Inc., Lauren's Lyrics, Mary Meyer Stuffed Toys, A Vermont Store (yep, that's what they call it), as well as the mall-like Virtual Vermont.
