LAUGH TRACK Delightful! Delicious! Thanks to Bill Schubart [“Outside Track,” August 24]! “Sam, adjust your meds!”

Laughing out loud.

Bill Powell

Cheryl Hanna’s article “The Right Choice” [“Outside Track,” August CALAIS 17] was very good — in so far as it went — in laying out the implications of a Roberts confirmation to ELF AESTHETICS the Supreme Court. However, it Robert Larkin [“Letters,” August 17] missed one major area of concern; finds James Kochalka’s “American one that really illustrates the extrem- Elf” neither funny nor insightful. ism in today’s “conservative” moveOn the first count, I think he’s offment. I’m talking about the base. The strip is occasionally quite Griswold decision. It’s not just aborhumorous, though not in a gag-orition that’s on the table here, but the ented way. But often, and self-eviright of married couples to practice dently, Kochalka has no intention of contraception and to secure reliable being funny. reproductive-health services as well.

Larkin’s second criticism, lack of Griswold was the forerunner for insight, is at least open for discusRoe vs. Wade, and is also squarely in sion. It shows that he recognizes the the sights of the Right. If Griswold strip is reaching for something falls, Roe vs. Wade would be next, beyond laughs, even if he feels it followed by Lawrence vs. Texas, the fails. I believe that the real impact of decision from a few years ago that “American Elf” is cumulative — one protected the right of consensual can only really appreciate Kochalka’s homosexual relations. accomplishment by reading day in Social conservatives intend to and day out.

thought. But together, the strips approach a complete picture of a human life.

Of course, Seven Days only prints three of the week’s seven strips. That automatically affects the rhythm and undercuts the point. But ultimately, “American Elf” is an acquired taste.

While I find the cartooning an eyepleasing delight, many others consider it crude. Its thematic strengths are subtle. Anything so unconventional will be a hard sell, be it to the comic-book audience (superhero and art-comix fans both) or to alt-weekly readers. That’s why I commend Seven Days for publishing even some of Kochalka’s work.

Cole Odell BRATTLEBORO

SIMPLE GIFT I was shocked and annoyed by the mean-spirited letter written about James Kochalka’s “American Elf” [August 17]. Mr. Larkin obviously doesn’t get James’ humor, which is fine; don’t read his comic. But to me and all the rest of James’ fans, “American Elf” is one of the reasons to read Seven Days. I can’t wait to read it every week. I happen to think the characters are hilarious and the situations ironic. Perhaps because I too am a new parent, I find the stories touching. The simplicity of his work is what makes it so attractive to me. James’ images are visual poetry — don’t you dare take them away!

KILLER SERIAL I actually will make this short and sweet. “American Elf” [“Letters,” August 17] is as refreshing as sipping a mojito on your back deck on a summer evening. It is like reading Ulysses, but actually being able to understand it. It is a Zen koan. So, Mr. Kochalka (and Seven Days), Illegitimi non carborundum!

Michael Wisniewski BURLINGTON

ALL-TERRAIN PAIN The question of whether or not to allow ATVs’ use in the Green Mountain National Forest [“Ride or

Wrong?” August 24] should be a nobrainer. Human development, pollution, habitat disturbance and destruction have already brought our natural balance to a breaking point.

With obvious climate changes, negative health impacts and many animal and plant species already endangered or extinct, all due to human “activity,” we can no longer afford to continue encroaching upon preserved natural landscapes.

In fact, we must immediately begin going in the opposite direction — designating and protecting more wilderness — adding that 80,000 new acres to the existing 60,000 in

the Green Mountain National Forest. As for the question of snowmobiles, which are also mostly selfcentered pollution machines in my mind (as are jet skis), at least they run over the snow and land at a time when most animals and plants are dormant, not actively nesting and breeding. Therefore, ATVs that run in the growing season are more likely to disrupt sensitive animal survival activities.

This issue in Vermont is a microcosm of the bigger issue playing out all over our planet: the quest for individual enjoyment, or human greed and profit, at the expense of

the natural world that sustains us all.

We can’t disregard the biological facts, the known negative impact to other people, animals, plants, waterways and other natural resources, the air pollution, noise pollution, and destruction that these mechanized “recreational” vehicles cause.

Let’s do the right thing here in Vermont — protect our wilderness areas from further negative human impact. Do not open up the Green Mountain National Forest to ATVs. Melanie Brotz BURLINGTON

TRAIL MIX When Seven Days reporter Ken Picard went ATV riding with Todd Sheinfeld, executive director of the Vermont ATV Sportsman’s Association, they soon found an illegally cut ATV trail [“Ride or Wrong,” August 24]. “Now, this is the shit that really drives us nuts,” Sheinfeld sighed, “pointing to the fresh, muddy gash in the underbrush,” according to Picard’s account. “I can’t understand why someone would do that. There are miles and miles of good trails up here.”

Yes. Even when there are “miles and miles of good trails,” ATV enthusiasts cut or bash new ones. It’s

odd that Sheinfeld can’t understand why. ATVs are not marketed as Some-of-the-Terrain Vehicles. They are advertised as All-Terrain Vehicles.

The illegal trail Seven Days saw is one of many examples that belie Sheinfeld’s contention that a lack of legal trails is why some riders heed the urging of ATV ads and “Follow no one.” Even where there are plenty of ATV trails, too many riders will not stay on them. And ATVs cause so much damage so fast that even one “bad apple” is too many. More and more landowners have found, to their regret, that if they permit snowmobile trails on their land, ATVs will follow, and they don’t stay on the snowmobile trails.

ATVs belong on private property whose owners don’t mind the damage they do, and nowhere else. They don’t belong in our national forest or any of our other scarce public lands, which in time will become an even more valuable quiet refuge than they are today.

Our August 17 preview of the Montréal World Film Festival got it wrong when it identified Jamin Winans as director of Love + Hate. That film was directed by Dominic Savage. Winans directed 11:59, also showing at the festival. We regret the error.

SEVEN DAYS | august 31-september 07, 2005 | outside track 09A

outside track

BY PHILIP BARUTH

Self-Doubt and Raging Bull

T Peter Freyne is on vacation and will be back next week.

Guest columnist Philip Baruth is a novelist and a regular commentator on Vermont Public Radio.

he call came in last week: Peter Freyne had split for an undisclosed beach, and they wanted me to suit up for “Outside Track.” I played it off like no big deal, but down deep? There were qualms.

Because, let’s face it: It’s a brutal business, political muckraking. You stick your toe in — big toe, pinky toe, whichever — you’ll never be clean again.

And, of course, you need the columnist’s tools: skin triceratops-thick, nerves like banjo wire, a raccoon’s nose for nasty. And you gotta be able to punch, and then keep on punching even after the bell rings. Because, as often as not, the guy with the bell is crooked as a dog’s hind leg.

Freyne’s got tools. You see him coast down Church Street on that bike of his and, if you squint hard, it’s like watching a blurry clip from Raging Bull — I mean, if Robert De Niro wore the helmet and the biking shorts. And if his legs were fish-belly white. And if De Niro was Irish as all hell.

Anyway, you know what I mean. You see Freyne hunched over that bike and you think: Somebody’s going down today.

On paper, Parke looks like a solid Republican bet, in the election-tested Dubie-mode: former Falcon Fighter man turned to flying commercial aircraft.

What do I got for tools? No got. But I figured, if some deal’s really outlandishly dirty, any nose can find it. So when I hung up the phone, I started sniffing around.

And guess what? The Swift Boat boys are back, and they’re working Vermont.

Swift Boats, Ho! — I got a call from a guy. Can’t say who, but anyway this guy gave some money once to a Southern Republican, an old friend of his. Since then my friend’s address has been peddled relentlessly to fire-breathing conservatives. A few weeks back, a fundraising letter shows up in the mail. Signed “John O’Neill, Swift Boat Veteran of Vietnam,” the letter is written in support of Greg Parke, whose hat is currently in the ring for Jim Jeffords’ Senate seat.

With Richie Tarrant sucking up all the media oxygen, Parke’s candidacy has been flying well under the radar — not a bad mixed metaphor for a former Air Force lt. colonel with a few thousand hours in an F-16.

On paper, Parke looks like a solid Republican bet, in the election-tested Dubie-mode: former Falcon Fighter man turned to flying commercial aircraft.

Also big on military issues, flags, planes, flight jackets, etc.

So why haven’t you heard Parke’s name this cycle? Because the guy thinks he’s running a primary in southern Mississippi, that’s why.

One for-instance. In 2004 it was a House seat Parke was after, and he had this to say about Congressman Bernie Sanders: “I lay the blame for 9/11 right at the feet of Mr. Sanders and people like him that cut our intelligence budget,” Parke told WSYB radio host Tim Philbin.

This quote badly freaked Philbin.

“Are you saying that the reason why those people are dead is because of Bernie Sanders in Congress?” Philbin asked nervously.

“Indirectly, yes,” Parke replied.

How do I know about this weird incident? Parke displays it proudly on his website, under “News.” Sure was to me.

But I digress: the fundraising letter.

John O’Neill is the über-Swift Boat Vet, the Swift Boat Vet for Truth who’s more for truth, apparently, than any other Swift Boat Vet. This is the guy who debated John Kerry on Dick Cavett in 1971. The guy who wrote Unfit for Command. The guy who made that Willie Horton ad seem like an episode of “The Care Bears.”

And guess what? Bernie’s his new Kerry.

“There was no way I was going to sit idly by as John Kerry tried to become our Commander-in-Chief,” O’Neill writes. “Today I am working on a similar mission . . . A mission to stop the most extreme politician in America from winning election to the U.S. Senate.”

Most frightening of all, O’Neill warns, is that by seizing on the quirky rules of the Senate, Bernie will “turn into a dangerous liberal wreaking crew [sic].”

Nothing makes my blood run colder than a wreaking crew. Especially one wreaking, or crewing, liberally.

Social Security Must Die — One other interesting connection. When Bush won in 2004, the Swift Boat machine didn’t fade away. No, no: Their advisors and media people morphed into a group put together by USA Next to smear the AARP, when the seniors group stood firmly in the way of Bush’s Social Security privatization push.

And wouldn’t you know, on Parke’s website, Bush’s “private accounts” concept appears pretty much verbatim, distortions included. Someone forgot to tell Parke that Americans roundly rejected Bush’s private accounts, consistently opting for less drastic changes to the highly popular program.

Come to think of it, someone forgot to tell him that Americans don’t like 9/11 invoked for political gain.

But come to think again, what does Parke care? He’s got John O’Neill’s “strongest possible endorsement.”

Cool, as Freyne would say. m

“No, the construction has NOT hurt our business.”

VERMONT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Lamoille Family Center in Morrisville offers runaway teens a shower and a bed for the night. It organizes playgroups for preschoolers, and teaches pregnant teens how to keep a budget, balance a checkbook and be good mothers. In other words, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not exactly seething with terrorist sleeper cells.

Nevertheless, the Lamoille Family Center is now required by one of its funders, the United Way of Lamoille County, to sign a federal antiterrorism pledge certifying that it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support terrorists or terrorist groups.

And if the agency refuses to sign, it could lose all of its United Way funding â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about $12,000 a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been sitting on this and fuming about it for about a month and a half,â&#x20AC;? says Dave Connor, co-director of the Lamoille Family Center, a nonprofit agency thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been around for 30 years and serves about 2500 families in the Lamoille Valley. The United Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new â&#x20AC;&#x153;counterterrorism compliance

form,â&#x20AC;? which arrived in the mail without a cover sheet or letter of explanation, now requires Connor to check seven boxes certifying, among other things, that none of his 31 employees appears on a federal antiterrorism watch list or provides â&#x20AC;&#x153;material support or resourcesâ&#x20AC;? to terrorist groups.

Connor must also â&#x20AC;&#x153;take reasonable affirmative stepsâ&#x20AC;? to prevent fraud that would allow United Way money to end up in â&#x20AC;&#x153;the wrong hands.â&#x20AC;?

Connor, who describes the compliance form as â&#x20AC;&#x153;McCarthyite,â&#x20AC;? says he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time, resources or inclination to start poking into the political activities of his staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To put the Lamoille Family Center in the role of being a cop is just crazy,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole thing just sounds like John Ashcroft on acid.â&#x20AC;?

But the new policy at the United Way of Lamoille County isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the work of some lone zealot â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it came from much higher up. The United Way of America now requires compliance forms from all of its chap-

ters nationwide in order to comply with the terms of the USA Patriot Act. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not setting out the law. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just telling [United Way chapters] what the law says,â&#x20AC;? explains Susan Gilmore, vice president of membership accountability for the United Way of America in Alexandria, Virginia. Gilmore says the compliance form was drafted by staff attorneys after several United Way chapters asked for clarification on how they should protect themselves from criminal or civil liability in the event a member group is found to have links to suspect activities.

An internal memo dated November 16, 2004, from the United Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office of General Counsel lays out the problem: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The U.S. government has shown a willingness to pursue nonprofits under the Patriot Act for providing material support to terrorists or terrorist organizations.

It has taken action against several Muslim charities that may have had dealings with terrorists

MONTPELIER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Door-to-door canvassers from the Vermont Public Interest Research Group celebrated the end of their most-successful-ever summer campaign by staging a press conference on August 24 in front of the Capitol Building in Montpelier. The canvassers, who have spoken to 29,000 Vermonters since May, raised more than $175,000 in small contributions for the advocacy nonprofit. That beats the previous record by nearly $20,000.

Their pitch? Vermont needs to do more to fight global warming.

At the press conference, VPIRG issued its annual global warming report card, giving Vermont a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Câ&#x20AC;? grade for its efforts to curb climate change.

Organizers attributed the improvement over last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s D+ to the state legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passage

The canvassers, who have spoken to 29,000 Vermonters since May, raised over $175,000 in small contributions. of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;clean energy billâ&#x20AC;? and the reduction in pollution from state buildings and the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fleet of cars.

But the canvassers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; most of them college students â&#x20AC;&#x201D; want more. They want Governor Jim Douglas to offer tax breaks for fuel-efficient cars, and to increase efficiency standards for buildings and appliances. At the press conference, they presented more than 5000 signed postcards listing those and other demands.

They had hoped to give them to Douglas himself, but Assistant Canvass Director Emily Butler

said the governor didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come out to get them.

Butler claimed Douglas knows how they feel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve birddogged him all summer,â&#x20AC;? she notes. When they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t knocking on doors, some canvassers dropped by Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; public apearances to ask him about his position on global warming.

Butler, 21, credits the officeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;really excellent staffâ&#x20AC;? for this campaignâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success. But she points out that the political climate was also â&#x20AC;&#x153;just right.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hot topic,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No pun intended.â&#x20AC;? m

»news or terrorist organizations.”

Gilmore admits that the compliance pledges probably won’t do much to stop terrorists. Still, she says, the policy was unavoidable.

“It’s like you tell your kids, ‘Sorry, but you don’t get to pick and choose which laws you’re going to follow. The law is the law,’” she says. “One of the things we say in our trainings is, ‘If you don’t like this, talk to your congressman.’”

But civil libertarians warn that antiterrorism pledges recall the anti-Communist witch hunts of the 1950s.

“I think blacklists — which essentially is what this is — are really frightening,” says Allen Gilbert, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Vermont. “Why would anybody think a terrorist group is actually going to apply to the United Way for money and then would say they’re a terrorist group? This is just bizarre.”

Gilbert sees a host of other problems arising from the compliance forms, including the difficulty of simply determining who’s on a federal watch list.

According to a report from the General Accounting Office, the federal government maintains more than a dozen watch lists in various agencies, including the FBI, State Department, Treasury Department, Commerce Department and Transportation Security

from the Ford funding Foundation and the Combined Federal Appeal, an annual charitable drive for federal employees.

The group refused to sign.

Vermont’s State Employees Combined Charitable Appeal also requires fund recipients to sign

Administration. And, as the Washington Post reported last year, the federal government’s “no-fly list” had 16 names on it on September 11, 2001. Today, it has more than 20,000.

Moreover, these lists are fraught with errors and inaccuracies that can cause considerable hassles for the public. Among the people who have been delayed or prevented from boarding planes: Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), Don Young Representative (R–Alaska) and Representative John Lewis (D–Georgia).

The ACLU itself has been asked to sign antiterrorism compliance forms because it receives

antiterrorism pledges, since it’s also administered through the United Way. A lawsuit brought by 13 nonprofit organizations against the Federal Charitable Appeal is pending.

But Gilmore at the United Way of America says she hasn’t heard of any nonprofits that have refused to sign their forms, or been denied funding.

At the Lamoille Family Center, Connor says he can’t afford to “stand on his soapbox” and fight this on principle. He notes, “That $12,000 is still pretty important.” But he plans to write at least one angry letter, to the United Way of America. m

STUDENT LIFE

Drinking for Drivers

BY CATHY RESMER

BURLINGTON — The sound of honking car horns is rarely welcome — unless you’re a college student kicking back beneath an 8-foot-long banner that reads, “U HONK, WE DRINK.” Then it’s good times.

Eight students — five men and three women — have been playing this drinking game two or three nights a week during rush hour on the porch of a two-story house at the intersection of Colchester and East avenues.

“It seems like most people who go by, it puts a smile on their faces,” says Matt, the group’s spokesman.

He says they got the idea from the wildly popular website, collegehumor.com.

Klatch Members maintain their anonymity on a recent Tuesday

afternoon, but agree to pose for a photo. All but one attend local colleges; the other guy says he goes to the University of New Hampshire. Every 20 or 30 seconds or so, a car goes by and the driver honks. Some raise their fists and shout encouragements.

The porch sitters raise their cans Bud Lite, bottles of of Smuttynose, and plastic cups full of Southern Comfort. “It’s not just the cars that honk,” Matt adds after a swig. “We get the Red Cross, fire trucks, UPS, FedEx, the cops. You name it, they love it.”

But not everyone loves the sign. “Sometimes people say, ‘I’m glad you’re not my son,’” Matt admits. Lieutenant Mike Schirling of the Burlington Police

Department also confirms that the cops received a noise complaint about the house on Friday, August 26, at 4:30 p.m. But Schirling says the guys weren’t fined. “We arrived and it was quiet,” he reports.

Schirling explains that the drinkers are well within their rights, as long as they’re not causing a riot, making too much noise or allowing underage drinking. He notes that the officers who responded to the noise complaint checked IDs — everyone was over 21.

Matt says he realizes that some people might think the students are promoting drinking, but he doesn’t agree. “We’re trying to promote happiness,” his friend interjects, beer in hand. m

Curses, Foiled Again A Canadian court in Winnipeg heard that father-andson robbers were walking along a city street when they ran into three people coming out of a hotel carrying a case of beer. The 41-year-old father, who had a sawed-off shotgun that he intended to sell hidden under his clothes, decided to rob them, only, authorities said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the complainant didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to let go of his box of beer.â&#x20AC;? During the ensuing struggle, the father tossed the shotgun to his son, who fired it toward the man fighting with his father. The bullet hit the father, who was hospitalized and later pleaded guilty.

Drug Doings San Francisco police arrested six gang members that took over the apartment of an 84-year-old woman with dementia and turned it into a drug den. Officers found the place filled with drugs and crack pipes and the walls covered with gang graffiti. The gang even ate the free senior meals that were delivered to Ellen Gutierrez, said police Sgt. Marta McDowell, adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of them said it was pretty nasty food.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ When Missouri State Trooper Tommy Walley stopped two Kentucky men in a 1990 Ford Thunderbird in Kingdom City, he discovered a rocket in the trunk stuffed with two pounds of methamphetamine.

Vehicular Follies Lawmakers in Franklin, Tenn., voted to consider an ordinance banning garages, at least ones that open toward the street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The front door of the house shall take precedence over automobile storage,â&#x20AC;? reads the measure, which also requires wider lots for sideloading garages and larger lots or alleys in the back for rear-loading garages.

Alderman Dennis Phillips, who introduced the measure, declared that homes should emphasize the people living in them, not the cars they drive.

Bad Batch Elijah Walker, 35, pleaded guilty in Cincinnati, Ohio, to cocaine possession but told Judge Melba Marsh that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to give a DNA sample, as the law requires, for a law-enforcement DNA database. He said that he feared the

state might use the sample to clone him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could do all sorts of things with it,â&#x20AC;? he told the judge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just know I have to protect it.â&#x20AC;? Marsh assured Walker that if he thought he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;going to see another one of you walking down the street, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry.â&#x20AC;? Assistant prosecutor Kevin Hardman added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure the state really wants another Elijah Walker.â&#x20AC;?

Misguided Prodigy Pianist Bryan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Lone, 16, filed a lawsuit against his teacher, claiming that she came onstage a few notes into his performance at Carnegie Hall, berated him and slammed the keyboard cover on his fingers while they argued over what piece he would play for the Young Pianist Competition of New Jersey. Besides unspecified damages, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Lone and his family want a public apology from Yalena Ivanov, who founded the YPCNJ and, the suit claims, accosted her pupil in front of 300 people when he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play the piece that she had picked for him.

Beggars Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Be Booters British immigration officials denied visas to soccer teams from five African nations headed for Edinburgh, Scotland, to compete in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Homeless World Cup. The event, which began in 2003, encourages people to lift themselves from poverty and features teams of street people from around the world. The officials ruled that the players from Kenya, Zambia, Burundi, Cameroon and Nigeria were too poor to enter the country and lacked the means to support themselves for the duration of the event.

Get Me to the Court on Time Jada Coover, 24, missed his scheduled court appearance in Clay County, S.D., because at the time he was trying to outrun state police, who suspected him of stealing a pickup truck and sideswiping another vehicle. Coover led his pursuers to Vermillion, where he stopped in the middle of the street and backed up â&#x20AC;&#x201D; straight into the retaining wall of the Clay County Courthouse. Sheriff Andy Howe said that Coover jumped out of his pickup truck, ran into the courthouse and upstairs to the courtroom, where the judge who was supposed to hear Cooverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case had just dismissed the jury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He attempted to barricade himself in by holding the door shut,â&#x20AC;?

Howe said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but officers were able to get in and take him into custody.â&#x20AC;?

But the campaign against Sheehan isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really designed to discredit her. It has a deeper purpose, as Amr points out â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;to draw fire away from Bush. Instead of focusing on the argument between Sheehan and the president, we now have a contest between Sheehanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supporters and her detractors.

AN ENTRÉE TO VERMONT FOOD

Tortilla Testing

W IMAGE Matthew Thorsen

hy can’t Yankees cook real Mexican food? It seems so simple: The menu items in any family-owned Mexican restaurant in South Texas or East L.A. are variations on the recurring theme of rice, beans, meat, cheese and tortillas. It’s like playing with a gastronomic Lego set: Choose from one of three sauces — red, green or mole — and three meats: chicken, beef or pork. Then you pick either a crunchy, deep-fried shell or a soft corn or flour tortilla, serve it with black or refried beans and a dollop of sour cream, guacamole and pico de gallo and velô! You’ve got Mexican food. Add a couple of seafood dishes and it’s practically alta cocina.

Yet something invariably gets lost in the translation. And the secret isn’t in the water, as some people claim about New York-style pizza and bagels. Even in Manhattan — which offers the most copious culinary concoctions on the continent — émigrés from southern-border states bemoan the dearth of authentic Mexican food.

In the eight years since I returned to the north side of the Mason-Dixon line, I’ve found very few Mexican restaurants that can hold a candle to the standard Tex-Mex fast-food joint you might find in a Fort Worth shopping mall. What gives?

Honestly, I’m not a Mexican food snob. I enjoy a meal at Chili’s as much as the next Vermonter, provided the margaritas aren’t too watery and they keep the chips and salsa flowing. But sometimes I still yearn for the real deal from the People’s Republic of Texas — my favorite was Tamale House #3 in East Austin, a four-table hole-in-thewall taco stand under the flight path of the old municipal airport. There, rotund Mexican women roll tamales and breakfast tacos that fill your belly — three for two bucks!

Recently, the Burlington area has seen a modest proliferation of Mexican food restaurants. And while my Latino friends roll their eyes and poohpooh it all, these places aren’t without their charm — at least by gringo standards. My first outing was to Roque’s Restaurante Mexicano and Cantina at the foot of Main Street in Burlington. The Mexican restaurant with the French-sounding name — in the old Mona’s location near the waterfront — was mostly quiet on a recent Tuesday night, but it still took our waiter a while to get around to bringing over the chips and salsa.

No major gripes about the margaritas — I had a Bahama Mama and my date had the Georgia Peach. The drinks kept us satisfied until the food arrived, which was quickly.

We began with an appetizer of shrimp ceviche, marinated in fresh lime juice with tomatoes, onions, jalapeños and cilantro. I enjoyed it, but my date complained, “It’s not like they serve it in Ecuador.” For entrées, we shared an order of spinach enchiladas and pescado borracho, which is grilled red snapper with sautéed mushrooms, onions and chiles in a light, white-wine sauce.

The presentation of both dishes was good, the portions were sizeable and the price was right — entrées range from about $8 to $15 — but the chef seemed timid that night. My date and I were completely befuddled by the one-pepper spiciness rating beside the pescado borracho — it lacked punch and needed salt. The spinach enchiladas were just OK, lacking the Latin fire you expect from a south-of-the-border experience. A bottle of hot sauce was vital for both entrées.

Next stop was the new Miguel’s Stowe Away on Church Street, which has an upscale feel and a more diverse menu. The Burlington location, which opened about a month ago, is roomier and noisier than its mothership in Stowe, so we opted to wait for a quieter booth in the back.

The bar offers the same excellent selection of “Edible Complex” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

CHICKEN CHIMICHANGA, PORK ENCHILADA, STRAWBERRY MARGARITA AT ROQUE’S

The fish tacos came with a large portion of grilled tuna, served on a soft corn tortilla, with a lemon mayonnaise and fresh lime, refried beans and rice. margaritas as does the Stowe location. I had the Miguel’s Extra Gold, which is served with freshsqueezed lime juice. As we waited briefly at the bar, I noshed from a basket of warm, multicolored chips and a hefty bowl of homemade salsa made just the way I like it — with plenty of cilantro.

For me, Miguel’s Stowe Away proves a fundamental rule of good Mexican food: If you stick the landing on the guacamole, margaritas, chips and salsa, the judges will give you the benefit of the doubt for other minor technical flaws. My crabenchilada entrée was good but not great, but the chicken fajitas were right on the mark. The service was spot-on. Miguel’s is only slightly pricier than Roque’s — entrées range from $13 to $19 — but its offerings are tastier and worth the price difference. And with plenty of outside Marketplace seating, Miguel’s is a good spot for people-watching.

Next time I go, I’ll make reservations to guarantee a table.

Rosita’s, at 7 Fayette Drive in South Burlington, was a wholly unexpected treat.

Ordinarily, I’m skeptical of any Mexican restaurant situated in a strip mall, but Rosita’s definitely delivered the goods. Large, airy and comfortable, it’s located in the old Cactus Pete’s site just off Shelburne Road. The quality is high, and both the menu and the prices are “family friendly.” Entrées range from $7 to $18.

The chips were warm and the salsa spicy. But what made it for me was the big bowl of guac, as

smooth and creamy as butter. I’d definitely recommend the frozen mango margarita as well as the pomegranate margarita on ice. Those with a serious sweet tooth might want to request the “sugar rim” instead of salt on their margarita glasses.

Our entrées were both hot and huge. My date’s beef enchiladas Rosita in red sauce was very tasty, and enough food for at least two meals.

The fish in the taco de pescado varies from dia to dia. The day we went, the fish tacos came with a large portion of grilled tuna, cooked to perfection and served on a soft corn tortilla, with a lemon mayonnaise and fresh lime, refried beans and rice.

Definitely a winner. And although it’s easy to overlook side dishes, it was obvious that Rosita’s Mexican rice and beans were both freshly made.

Finally, sombreros off to our waitress, Courtney, not only for two rock-solid margarita tips, but also for packing up our leftovers and labeling them with the restaurant and date of our visit. The only drawback I can think of about Rosita’s is its location — near the Route 7 construction. But that snafu will right itself once the bulldozers and steamrollers pack up for the season.

Mexican food purists may never find true satisfaction in Vermont, except maybe from the tamale girl at the Burlington Farmers’ Market. But, like a lot of things in a capitalist system, more competition can only help matters. Is Burlington’s Mexican fare “authentic”? Maybe not, but it comes a lot closer than it used to. m

A Messages From a Small Town: Photographs Inside Pawlet, Vermont, Neil Rappaport with Nellie Bushee and Ella Clark,

by Susanne Rappaport, Vermont Folklife Center, 2005, 135 pages, $30.

Gallery talk

by Susanne Rappaport and photographers Bill Lipke and John Miller, Vermont Folk Life Center, Middlebury, September 16, 4 p.m.

Mannie Lionni reads from Silas Marner at the Fletcher Free Library, Burlington, September 2, noon.

rt is where you find it. One day in the late 1960s, a car broke down beside a slate quarry in West Pawlet, Vermont. When the driver climbed out, he heard an Italian aria coming from the pit. A worker was listening to Saturday afternoon opera while he shoveled slate rubbish. The scene inspired the driver, photographer Neil Rappaport, to spend two years documenting the quarrymen and their old-time techniques. And it launched a larger project that would last Rappaport the rest of his life.

For nearly three decades, Rappaport focused his lens â&#x20AC;&#x201D; first a 35mm Nikon and later a large-negative view camera â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on the people and places of Pawlet and West Pawlet.

His stunning, black-and-white images are richly informative and deeply respectful of their subjects: slate splitters, deer hunters, farmers, families and the natural and manmade landscape in which they all live.

Rappaport, a New York City native, taught photography at Bennington College from 1970 until his death in 1998. His work has been shown at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and is in the permanent collection at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. When he died, at 56 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just a month after being diagnosed with lung cancer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he left thousands of photos. Many of them are still unprinted negatives.

The Vermont Folklife Center in Middlebury is showing a retrospective of Rappaportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work through mid-November.

His wife Susanne collected oral histories of many of her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subjects, and has donated those tapes to the center. She gives a gallery talk there September 16. Susanne Rappaport has also assembled about 100 of her late husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photos in Messages From a Small Town: Photographs Inside Pawlet, Vermont.

CLARE CLARK AND HIS SISTER, FLOSSIE CLARK MOREY, PHOTOGRAPHED BY NEIL RAPPAPORT

Chad Gray, Senior Loan Officer The book juxtaposes Rappaportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works with photographs taken around the town in the early 20th century by Nellie Bushee and Ella Clark. Busheeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view of West Pawlet village is remarkably similar to Rappaportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Rachel Alexander Waite appears in â&#x20AC;&#x153;before and afterâ&#x20AC;? pictures. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sturdy teenager in Busheeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spanktown school groupâ&#x20AC;? and a wizened woman in a Rappaport portrait. In an interview excerpted at the back of the book, Waite recalls her Spanktown days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like we were all brothers and sisters,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all went to the brick schoolhouse down here. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I got my education, what I got.â&#x20AC;?

Most of the images speak for themselves, though. Their message is at once unblinking and tender. Floyd Troumbleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bedroom is cluttered with fishing rods, guns and an electric Christmas tree. Quarryman Vincent Covino steadies his hand on the rock, one finger bloodied and bandaged. Light falls softly on elderly Lonnie Loveland as he carefully cradles his pet chicken. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have met men and women as devoted to their . . . lives as I am to mine,â&#x20AC;? Rappaport wrote in 1975, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and that devotion itself establishes a bond between us.â&#x20AC;? The wealth of images he left as a legacy extends that bond to the rest of us.

Estrin looked to feed his lit fix through Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fletcher Free Library, but found that the audio collection didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the weighty tomes he desired. Then he ran into Peter Burns and discovered the local storyteller and performance artist shared his frustration. Their biblio bond gave birth to â&#x20AC;&#x153;First-Friday Classics.â&#x20AC;? Brown baggers can hear a local luminary read from a piece of great literature, then pitch in to purchase a complete, commercially recorded version of the work for the library. A single multi-CD set might run from $50 to $100.

Library Co-Director Robert Resnik says the Fletcher has about 400 unabridged recorded books, but most of them are usually checked out. The selections lean toward titles such as David Sedarisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ironic essays, the Harry Potter books and Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biography â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the sorts of reads most patrons want. But not Estrin and Burns.

Their 10-part program kicks off this Friday with architect Mannie Lionni offering selections from George Eliotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Silas Marner. Never read it? Neither had Lionni.

When he signed up for it, he thought he was picking Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton, Estrin reveals. Octoberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s installment is Burlington College film prof Barry Snyder showcasing Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev. In November, Unitarian minister Gary Kowalski presents Homerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Odyssey. Now, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a road read. m

the straight dope

BY CECIL ADAMS

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

Dear Cecil, I recently watched a karate/tae kwon do demonstration of breaking boards, and once again I wondered: What is the important part in making the board (or brick) break? Is it the speed with which the martial artist moves his hands/feet/ elbows, according to the laws of physics, meaning every other trained sportsman who achieved that same speed could do the same? Or is it mostly concentration, summoning of chi, etc., as martial artists claim?

Constanze W., Germany Considering what an exercise in participatory science this turned out to be, you might guess I started by consulting ancient masters and visiting martial arts shrines to get a handle on the subject. Nah. I Googled it.

Topping the results was a paper promisingly entitled “The Physics of Karate Strikes” by Jon Chananie at the University of Virginia. On enquiry I learned that Jon, a good fellow who’s now a UVA law student, had been an undergraduate writing in the short-lived e-pub Journal of How Things Work, a venue that didn’t inspire the same confidence as, say, the Acta Gynecologica Scandinavica.

Then again, other JOHTW articles included “How a Cruise Missile Works” and “Crafty Connie’s Hot Glue Gun Experience,” so I figured, hey, maybe this guy’s OK. He was. Jon had done his homework, among other things citing a genuine (in my book) ancient master, my friend Jearl Walker, who’d expounded on the subject in 1975. His article informs us that karate is governed by such axioms of physics as F = ma, ∆ p = Ft, and so on, the practical significance of which is that the karateka (karate artiste) should hit the boards as fast as possible, minimizing the contact surface of the blow so as to maximize impact.

No mention is made of chi, concentration or any such; Jon merely observes, “Karate black belts often advise white belts [rookies] . . . not to try to break the board, but to break the floor under the board. This is to

ensure that the hand does not decelerate prior to contact with the target.” No disrespect to Jon, but imagining one’s civilization-softened hand encountering a stack of kiln-dried 2-by-4s at bone-shattering speed, one thinks: There’s gotta be more to it than that.

Back to the Internet. Ten more minutes of browsing elicited the following additional insights: (1) In the typical karate demonstration — strictly speaking, the typical karate demonstration as performed by a physics teacher — the boards aren’t packed solid but rather are separated by pencils, meaning that you don’t strike the boards en bloc, as it were, but rather one at a time. (2) The boards aren’t 2-by-4s laid lengthwise; instead, they’re 6inch pieces of 1-by-12 (nominal; true thickness 3 quarters of an inch) laid so that the blow strikes parallel to the grain.

Now we were getting somewhere. Time to repair to the lab. I bought some 1-by-12 pine board and a box of #2 pencils, sawed the former into pieces of the requisite dimension, and upended a couple concrete blocks to serve as a platform. Never one to be accused of rashness, I started with one board. Easy. Three. Knife through butter. Five. I’d had more trouble swatting gnats.

Seven. Well. Advantageously grained and interpolated with pencils though they may be, seven boards is a formidable stack of lumber. I reviewed my sparse knowledge of karate. Chi is not a thing readily summoned on short notice. Likewise, while it’s fine to speak of breaking the floor under the board, landing the blow inside your opponent’s body, etc., it’s something else to actually do it. I pretty much just hauled back and let fly.

Shoot. I split five boards, cracked the sixth, left the seventh intact — call it five and a half. Recuperating briefly, I tried again. Same result. Thinking that my low platform was preventing me from getting enough back into the project, I got a couple more concrete blocks, made the thing higher, and on my next try endeavored to uncoil my physical being in stages so as to maximize the velocity of the blow. This time I cleanly split six boards, but the seventh remained unscathed.

I called it a night but in the morning resolved to have at it again. Two more attempts, the second using both hands. (Hey, I was on deadline.) No go. Mrs. Adams sweetly suggested having one of the little researchers try, reasoning that, being taller and younger, he would have the advantage of leverage and a fresher supply of testosterone. Ha. The kid split three, cracked two, and left two on the table. Once more for the old man, this time with six boards. I split five.

Am I quitting? No, merely taking a breather till the swelling goes down. Verdict so far: It’s likely just physics, but if somebody has a line on some chi, I’m game to give it a go.

MATTHEW THORSEN

Last year, during a fire drill, one of Laforce’s kindergartners thought he was being bombed, and hid under a picnic table.

Debbie Laforce Kindergarten teacher, J.F.K. Elementary School, Winooski Much has changed since Debbie Laforce started teaching kindergarten at J.F.K. Elementary School in Winooski 29 years ago. “It used to be all about reading stories, sitting in a circle,” says the energetic, blond Winooski native. “Now it’s all academic.”

Laforce, who attended kindergarten at the now-closed Winooski Memorial School, teaches students to recognize patterns and shapes, to count to 50, and to recognize 50 to 60 words.

Hand-lettered flashcards hang on nearly every surface in the room, labeling the “closet,” “refrigerator” and “lights.” Laforce spent the month of August decorating the space. A bulletin board in back lists her students’ birthdays, and class rules such as “Respectful language only,” and “Walk, please!” are posted between the windows. During the waning days of summer, Laforce prepared in other ways, too. More often now her kids live in broken homes, or struggle with learning difficulties. Lafaorce read and attended workshops to bone up on best practices; she was re-certified as a kindergarten teacher just last year.

And as Winooski’s immigrant population grows, so does the number of her non-Englishspeaking students. Last year, Laforce had four; this year, six of her 30 students come from homes where little or no English is spoken. Their challenges aren’t just linguistic — some of these kids came to this country from war zones. Last year, during a fire drill, one boy thought he was being bombed, and hid under a picnic table. Before school started this year, Laforce read up on her incoming students’ home countries and cultures.

Though her job has changed, it’s clear that Laforce still loves it. When her new students dropped by the open house for their first visit to her room, she bent down, smiled, and greeted each one with a loud, unmistakably friendly voice. “Well, hello,” she said to one shy little girl who clung to her parents. “You are a beautiful young lady, and your name is so pretty.”

She explains that her over-the-top enthusiasm is a requirement for the job. “I’m not going to be any good to them if I’m not excited about somebody’s uncle’s uncle’s uncle’s birthday,” she confides frankly. “The day that I can’t get excited about Uncle Howard’s birthday is the day I quit and work at Wal-Mart.”

Sweet dreams.

Scanning the lush green practice field on a late August afternoon — strewn with 70 CVU football players and four coaches — it was easy to spot Jay Michaud, even from a distance. He was the guy with the funny hat. During pre-season practices, Michaud wears a widebrimmed straw hat encircled by a broad black band. It softens his tone when he commands his players to “focus up” and “play sharp.”

“It’s still summer,” he explains. “It’s kind of light. Kind of fluffy.”

He’ll have jettisoned the silly chapeau before the team’s first game September 3, against BFA Fairfax. It will be CVU’s first game as the Redhawks — the Crusaders have gone the way of the Middle Ages — and their debut as a varsity-level team.

Michaud is psyched. He’s worked hard to bring varsity football to C.V.U. He organized the program three years ago, so his two sons could play. He actually has two other jobs — he works for JetBlue at Burlington International Airport, and owns a gourmet coffee roasting company. But he still finds time to coach varsity, and run the C.V.U. youth-level program for grades 5 to 8. “It’s my passion,” he says. “I love teaching the kids football.”

Michaud loves it so much that he starts prepping for each season two weeks after the previous one ends. By the end of summer, he’s picked his team and polished their equipment. He starts meeting with parents in July. By the third week in August, when Michaud starts his grueling five-days-a-week practice schedule, he has to start prioritizing his emails. “If every parent has one question,” he says, “that’s 160 emails a week.”

Michaud also spends a lot of time talking with his players. One of the things he loves most about coaching is that he gets to teach kids about responsibility, hard work and community. He talks to his players about the evils of steroids and the importance of homework. “For example,” he says, “some of these kids didn’t understand that chew is a tobacco product — it’s illegal. Some of the farm kids have been growing up on it. So you have to educate them about that.”

Michaud also prioritizes team bonding. During the third week in August, they had what he calls “a heart to heart.” Each player affixed an American flag to his helmet, and they discussed the war in Iraq.

Michaud says it wasn’t a pro or con talk. “It was about pride in community, pride in the team, how fortunate we are,” he says. “How we’re all part of the bigger picture.”

To make the transition from grad student to professor, Parent recently bought some nice slacks at Filene’s.

Richard Parent Assistant professor, University of Vermont Richard Parent is an English professor, but you might not guess that from his office décor. Two framed sci-fi posters dominate his closet-sized room in Old Mill — one from the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still, autographed by the director; one featuring a flying saucer and the legend, “I Want to Believe.” On his bookshelf, two robotic Lego action figures strike a defiant pose atop a copy of the Modern Languages Association handbook.

It’s hardly a surprise, then, that the first class he’ll be teaching as a professor is out of the ordinary. His students won’t be parsing poetry — they’ll be podcasting and blogging. The newly minted PhD from the University of Pittsburgh is teaching two sections of a new class called “Digital Composing.”

“Composition is a tricky word here,” explains the bespectacled 34-year-old Texas native, who arrived in Burlington three months ago. Thousands of years ago, writing meant chiseling letters in stone or putting a stylus to papyrus. Today it can include creating video and audio clips, and composing in a seemingly infinite variety of fonts, sizes and colors — as well as the ability to publish anything almost instantly for a global audience. Parent is teaching his already tech-savvy students to think critically about how new electronic media affect language and narrative. “No one’s really asked them to do that,” he notes.

To prepare, he’s crafted a detailed syllabus that includes texts such as Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics, and former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne’s book/DVD work Envisioning Emotional Epistemological Information. He also set up web pages and weblogs for each of his classes, though his students will also be creating, maintaining and critiquing their own blogs. And because his students will be video blogging and recording podcasts, Parent has been scrambling to coordinate with UVM’s Center for Teaching and Learning to secure microphones and video cameras.

Parent’s also done some back-to-school shopping, to make the transition from grad student to professor — he recently bought some nice slacks at Filene’s. And he caught up on the episodes of Battlestar Galactica that he’d captured on his digital video recorder. He knows that once the semester gets going, he’s bound to fall behind.

Luciana DiRuocco Head of security at Nectar’s and Club Metronome, Burlington Of the four people wearing “staff” T-shirts outside the front door of Nectar’s, Luciana DiRuocco seems the least likely to be a bouncer. In fact, the slight 27-year-old in the black poofy cap is actually the chief enforcer, the nightclub’s head of security.

“I get catcalled,” she admits. “I get a lot of guys saying, ‘Can I cause trouble in 10 minutes and have you be the one to kick me out?’

Um, no.” DiRuocco, who holds a B.A. in Psychology from UVM, worked with adolescents in crisis for four years before joining the security team over a year ago. She says she uses social-work techniques rather than the threat of physical violence to defuse intense situations.

Her job gets tougher this time of year, as college students return to town, many of them underage and toting fake IDs. DiRuocco discourages students from using them. “It’s a felony,” she cautions.

Underage drinkers who get past her could cost the nightclubs a lot of money, and their liquor licenses. “It’s a big risk,” she insists. “I wish people understood that.”

After a year of seeing more than 2000 IDs each week, DiRuocco has become a connoisseur of fakes. “You get to know what every state looks like,” she says. Many states have adopted UV images to deter counterfeiters, but DiRuocco confirms that in some cases, the designs can be removed and replaced. “The good fakes do have UV images,” she says, “but it’s not the same quality as a real ID. It’s pretty easy to spot with a UV light.”

DiRuocco says she’s particularly vigilant this time of year — it’s important to spot fakes at the beginning of the school year, so the clubs don’t get a reputation as an underage hangout. She’s responsible for seeing that her staff is trained to spot them, and has to make sure they’re certified by the Department of Liquor Control. “I’ve gone so far as driving people to Stowe to get their D.L.C. training,” she says.

Still, DiRuocco points out that she and her staff bar more people from the clubs for being too drunk than for being underage. And she says students are hardly the biggest troublemakers. Of the half-dozen physical incidents she’s witnessed in the past year, most have involved 30-to-45-year-old women. “They can be very feisty,” she says.

Andrea Kelley Counseling Director, Johnson State College Andrea Kelley is busiest during the middle of the fall and winter semesters, when stress over midterms is peaking. But for her, the new student orientation marks the second most hectic time of the year.

“We’re going from zero to 60 this week,” she says.

Adjusting to dorm life can be difficult for college freshmen living away from home for the first time. Kelley provides mental-health services to make sure that transition is “as easy and as exciting as possible.”

That means orienting her six graduate interns. They’ll staff the counseling center in the basement of Senators Hall, where students can drop by to talk. And she’s spent the summer creating “virtual pamphlets” for the counseling center’s website. “We’ll have a couple pages for every major category,” she explains, citing social anxiety and gambling addictions as examples. “We’ll offer ways in which students can self-help.”

Kelley, who came to Johnson five years ago, also trains JSC’s residential life staff to help students manage their nervousness and anxiety. She runs workshops for the “front-line” residential assistants on recognizing substance-abuse issues, eating disorders and suicidal language. “A big thing we watch for is isolation,” she says. “No matter what presenting problem students might have, lots of times the common denominator is that they’re not connecting with other people.”

Kelley puts a human face on the counseling center services by hanging out in the dorms and the dining hall as students are getting settled on campus. She stands in line with students as they get their meals in the cafeteria, and strikes up conversations to let them know who she is and what she does. “The more that they see me on their turf, so to speak,” says Kelley, “the better.”

We really stress the railroads. It only takes one mistake.

— SCHOOL BUS DRIVING INSTRUCTOR BOB MATHIS

Bob Mathis School bus driving instructor, Addison Central Supervisory Union Bob Mathis spent part of the last two Saturdays in August watching the same horror movie. In it, a careless school bus driver accidentally stops his vehicle on a railroad track. The oncoming train doesn’t have time to stop. It smashes into the bus, killing and injuring several students. The camera pans over bloodied children on stretchers, and then stops on a notebook, its torn pages fluttering in the wind.

The grisly film, a state-sponsored primer on defensive driving, is part of Mathis’ eight-hour workshop, which all school bus drivers must take every four years. Ten men watched the movie with him one recent Saturday at the Trinity Baptist School in Williston. When another computer-animated bus got smacked by a tractor-trailer, several men gasped in horror.

Forty-nine-year-old Mathis, a pastor of the Whiting Community Church, works part-time for Bet-Cha Transit in Middlebury. He’s also a 17-year school bus-driving veteran. He transports first through twelfth graders on a 77-seat bus in Shoreham. He started teaching the safety workshops over a year ago to pick up some extra cash; he taught two in the past couple week, as schools rushed to train their drivers.

Throughout his class, Mathis emphasizes the high stakes of a bus driver’s task. Though he doesn’t know anyone who’s been involved in a serious accident, he says a few have occurred in Vermont. “We really stress the railroads,” he says. “It only takes one mistake.”

Mathis says he realizes his job is at the bottom of the school-district totem pole. Still, he observes, “If it doesn’t hold, the whole thing falls apart.” He points out that he’s the first school representative his kids see every morning, and the last one they see at the end of the day.

But the clergyman also has a healthy sense of humor. His teaching supplies for the workshop include a wiffle ball bat and a roll of duct tape. “I joke around,” he says. “I tell them that these aren’t forms of discipline.”

Last Gasp Holding on to summer at the Champlain Valley Fair

A PHOTO ESSAY BY MATTHEW THORSEN

The Champlain Valley Fair is the Big Apple of Vermont ag expos. Whether you’re there for sizzling sausages, gut-wrenching rides or vegetables on steroids, the 10-day outdoor extravaganza serves it up with freaky flair.

The annual event hasn’t changed much over the years. The wholesome agricultural exhibits hold their own alongside the midway’s manic amusements. You won’t see Chittenden County residents “Whack a Mole” anywhere else.

Fun as it is, the fair has another function. As a rite of summer passage, it’s as reliable as migrating geese. The shortening days motivate us to get out and enjoy the waning season, and provide a lovely backdrop against which the whole event glows. There’s no better time for a ride on the Ferris Wheel. m

THE RIDE STUFF: The Midway caters to cowards and daredevils.

For example, “The Bear Affair” is definitely tamer than the “Yo Yo.” Not to mention “The Zipper,” The Speed Ride” and “The Tango.”

[clockwise from left

HORN SECTION: You have to shell out two bucks to see the fourhorned sheep at the animal-freak show, but you can visit one at the petting zoo for free. And while you’re at it, check out an anteater and its baby, a pygmy zebu and a pygmy goat, and a bunch of chic chickens.

PLUSH LIFE: Ann Blow cruises the midway with an armload of new stuffed friends.

YOUNG GUNS: Champlain Valley is fair game for local businesses. Colchester Paintball runs this shoot-’em-up.

WATER SPORT: Sharp shooters squirt, er, aim for prizes on the midway. >> 34A

HORSING AROUND: The merry-goround is an amusement-park classic.

Connor Pelletier — and his dad Joe — bet on the horsies.

CHICKEN TENDERS: Step away from the midway mayhem and the commercial hype, and there’s still plenty of ag at the fair. Sheepshearing demos, cow contests and pediatric poultry keep it real.

uying college textbooks is a major rite of passage for incoming freshmen.

books she needs. When she finds one, she pays for it with her credit card through BookCurrency.com. Then, the two students arrange to meet on campus and make the exchange. Or, if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no student on her campus selling the book, the buyer can have one shipped from someone at another school.

It cost students nothing to shop or buy through the site.

The seller is charged a flat fee of $2, plus 5 percent of the sale price, to cover the company overhead and credit-card charges. Almost invariably, the used book costs less than it would elsewhere, and the seller recoups more cash than he would have gotten by selling it back to a campus store. And the students often get to meet and swap information about the course and professor, while avoiding the hassles of dealing with a campus bookstore.

BookCurrency.com began as a class project while Parker was studying information technology at RPI. The original idea was to create an online book exchange just at his technology-intensive school, where >> 40A

engineering students can fork over as much as $800 per semester for their course materials.

“If you go to the campus bookstore with a $100 book, they’ll buy it back for $15 or $20, and then resell it next semester for $75,” says Parker, who graduated in 2003. “It totally doesn’t make sense. So we just tried to capitalize on that huge gap.”

With technical assistance from RPI’s on-campus business incubator, BookCurrency.com was born. In its first year, the site made 80 sales — not bad at a school with just 5000 students. Later, Parker and his associates rewrote and expanded the software to include other college campuses, and the business grew exponentially. Last year, BookCurrency.com took third place in the “Windows Server 2003 Challenge,” a prestigious international competition against thousands of entries. Today, the site is available at 3500 college campuses in all 50 states — last semester it logged 50,000 hits. So far this semester, users have registered at 80 campuses.

“The really cool thing is that we’re only marketing to, like, 10 campuses, so people are obviously telling their friends, and they’re telling their friends,” says Parker, who works on BookCurrency.com part-time from his Williston home.

“We’ve had [customers in] states that none of us have ever been to.”

Considering its high-tech origins, BookCurrency.com’s marketing has been decidedly low-tech. Mostly, it’s involved Parker and his business partners — who are now scattered throughout New England — visiting campuses in Boston, where they stood outside campus bookstores distributing flyers to arriving students. This year, the company hired several campus reps to take over that tedious chore.

Needless to say, campus stores weren’t exactly thrilled by the entrepreneurs’ presence.

While Parker and a co-worker were handing out flyers outside the Boston University bookstore, the store manager came out and yelled at them, then called the police. Parker recalls that the cop asked them loudly to move along — “mostly to appease the store manager,” he says — then told them to come back 10 minutes later, after he’d left the area.

“Bookstores don’t really like that their huge margin is being attacked, but that’s sort of the whole idea,” says Parker.

“Students don’t like that margin, either. They don’t like that they’re getting screwed by the bookstore.”

Such tension is understandable, considering the kind of money at stake. While a used Penguin classic for an English class might go for as little as $5, a first-year chemistry text can run as high as $100. According to the National Association of

UVM bookstore manager Jay Menninger estimates that online book dealers have cut into about 5 percent of his sales.

College Stores (NACS), the cost of books and supplies for the 2004-05 academic year ranged from $770 to $870. The average price for a new textbook was $52.36, while used textbooks averaged about $40.

However, a 2003 survey of college students in California and Oregon put the figures even higher. That survey, conducted by the public interest research groups CALPIRG and OSPIRG, found that college students were paying, on average, $102.44 for a new textbook and $64.80 for a used one. That year, the average Oregon and Washington student dropped nearly $900 on textbooks alone.

That’s almost 20 percent of the cost of tuition and fees for an in-state student at a public, four-year college.

Whichever numbers you trust, there’s no denying that big textbooks are big business on campus. In 2003-04, sales at U.S. and Canadian college stores were estimated at about $10.8 billion. The majority — $6.7 billion — was reaped from textbooks and other course materials. And with the cost of school supplies rising about 3.4 percent annually, it’s no wonder that today’s Internet-savvy students are shopping online for better deals. Last year, just 16 percent of students bought their textbooks online, according to the Fall 2004 Student Watch report. But that number is expected to rise.

How are college bookstores responding? Georgia Best, assistant manager at Middlebury’s College Store, says online book dealers such as half.com, which is operated by eBay, have definitely had an impact on their sales, though she couldn’t say by how much. Best, who hadn’t heard of BookCurrency.com, says the Middlebury store has

pared down the number of copies of individual titles it carries, because increasing numbers of Middlebury College students are buying their books online.

Things are done a bit differently at the UVM bookstore, which, according to store manager Jay Menninger, has to carry every textbook required by UVM professors — about 2800 titles per semester — as well as the number of copies they request. Menninger estimates that online book dealers have cut into about 5 percent of his sales.

To remain competitive, the UVM Bookstore now offers students the option of the “Textbook Pre-Pack,” Menninger says. Students buy all their books and course materials in advance, then pick them up pre-packaged, without having to wait in line. According to Menninger, the Textbook PrePack has reduced students’ wait in checkout lines to about 10 minutes, even during peak hours. “When I was going to school 30 years ago, you could have a four-hour wait,” he recalls. “It was a social event, like going to a concert.”

So far, BookCurrency.com hasn’t marketed itself at UVM or on other Vermont campuses.

But Parker believes that once local college students discover his site, and the number of registered users on campus reaches a “critical mass,” students will prefer to sell their books to each other rather than dealing with a campus middleman.

Eventually, Parker adds, he hopes to expand the site to include other person-to-person exchanges, such as CDs, DVDs and video games. And while BookCurrency.com has yet to make a profit, Parker predicts that it will soon turn that page, too. m

The History of Labor Day On September 5, 1882, some 10,000 workers assembled in New York City to participate in America's first Labor Day parade.

After marching from City Hall to Union Square, the workers and their families gathered in Reservoir Park for a picnic, concert, and speeches. This first Labor Day celebration was initiated by Peter J. McGuire, a carpenter and labor union leader who a year earlier cofounded the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions, a precursor of the American Federation of Labor.

McGuire had proposed his idea for a holiday honoring American workers at a labor meeting in early 1882. New York's Central Labor Union quickly approved his proposal and began planning events for the second Tuesday in September. McGuire had suggested a September date in order to provide a break during the long stretch between Independence Day and Thanksgiving. While the first Labor Day was held on a Tuesday, the holiday was soon moved to the first Monday in September, the date we continue to honor.

New York's Labor Day celebrations inspired similar events across the country.

Oregon became the first state to grant legal status to the holiday in 1887; other states soon followed.

In 1894, Congress passed legislation making Labor Day a national holiday.

Business ’Cense Sniffing out a new enterprise in essential oils

K, so we all know what gold is, but what the heck is frankincense? Myrrh is even more of a mystery. Two of the three gifts brought by the Magi to a certain newborn king leave most of us scratching our heads, wondering if STORY perhaps the Bethlehem baby got SARAH stuck with a couple of booby prizes.

TUFF A new Burlington-based business suggests otherwise. The three partners IMAGES MATTHEW in Ismael Imports are taking frankinTHORSEN cense and myrrh from Somaliland and turning it into valuable essential oils purported to calm stress, combat asthma and arthritis, and even inhibit the proliferation of leukemia cells.

“There’s a reason why the three wise men brought frankincense and myrrh to Jesus,” says Mahdi Ismael Ibrahim, the 37-year-old Muslim who runs the company with business partners Casey Lyon, 29, and Bill Lanzetta, 30. “Nobody thinks about what’s behind it, but it was to clean; they could burn it and clear out disease.”

The entrepreneurial trio may be on to something: By introducing frankincense and myrrh to the world, they hope in some small way to improve the lives of the Somaliland people.

O

In biblical days, frankincense and myrrh arrived in delicately carved wooden chests. Today’s shipments come in large, white feed bags packed

inside cardboard boxes stamped “ismaelimports.com.” Seventy-eight of them — four tons of frankincense and nearly 500 pounds of myrrh — are piled in a corner of the Lanzetta family warehouse on Colchester Point, where Lanzetta’s father builds furniture and Ismael Imports is temporarily storing its goods until a more suitable location can be found.

The frankincense looks and feels like jewel-sized chunks of granular brown sugar. The myrrh is also crystalline and sticky, but larger and darker. The process by which they’re derived is more akin to maple syrup than sugar, however. Both substances come from the dried sap of three types of trees indigenous to Somaliland. Frankincense comes from trees of the Boswellia genus, extracted through an incision in the trunk and harvested after the resin has hardened into pale yellow globules. The Commiphora myrrha tree produces myrrh.

Equally fascinating is how these sacks ended up in Colchester — and where they’re going from here.

Ibrahim left Somalia in 1988, at the start of that county’s civil war. His mother and father stayed behind in what would become Somaliland, when the region broke away from Somalia in 1991. After studying and working in Canada and Maine, Ibrahim moved to Vermont in 1998.

A few years later, he traveled to Thailand with some friends and lost his passport, which delayed his return. He lived cheaply among locals while he waited for his paperwork to come through.

“I met sweatshop families who were sewing clothes — I saw what the reality was,” says Ibrahim. He made the connection between their poverty and that of his own people back home in Somaliland, and vowed to do something about it. “I said to myself, ‘What are our natural resources? I bet we have something interesting.’ I knew about frankincense, but I didn’t know you could make oil.”

Did the ancients? Evidence suggests the Egyptians used frankincense in religious ceremonies and for meditation and adornment: Women painted their eyelids with it. Ibrahim grew up with the smell of frankincense wafting through the house. His mother burned it every morning and evening as a sort of air freshener before anyone had ever heard of “aromatherapy.”

Back in Vermont, he started researching the medicinal benefits of the oils made from the resin: According to the Harvard Medical School, there’s evidence that Boswellia — a.k.a. frankincense — possesses anti-inflammatory properties that could ward off asthma and alleviate

problems resulting from Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

The New Jersey-based Sabinsa Corporation, which produces boswellic acids from trees in India, has published a study indicating that the Boswellia species can inhibit the growth of human leukemia cells. Still others have used frankincense for acne, menstrual regulation and pain management, and myrrh for mouthwash and stomach upsets. L’Oréal uses a frankincense compound in its anti-aging Wrinkle De-Crease cream.

In 2004, Ismael traveled back to Somaliland, the population of which is now 3.5 million. “I was so excited, because I realized that this could totally change the economics of my country,” Ibrahim says. People thought he was crazy. “The farmers said, ‘The white man told you all that stuff now?’”

After Ibrahim signed Lyon and Lanzetta on as partners, the three of them took separate trips to Somaliland to examine the Boswellia and Commiphora trees, meet with farmers and discuss prospects for trade. Ibrahim and his wife, Jamie Garvey, took a bus from Ethiopia; he says she was the first white American to cross the border by foot since the 1980s. Staying with Ibrahim’s mother in Hargesia, they awoke to the smell of frankincense — and a new vision for medicine and sustainability.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;People canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to take care of themselves in the traditional Western sense,â&#x20AC;? says Lyon, whose own mother once gave him myrrh for migraines in Oregon. Now he splashes on a bit of frankincense oil as aftershave.

Ibrahim adds a drop of oil of frankincense in his black tea every morning for his lungs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pharmaceutical companies are so crooked, and have doctors in their pockets because they pay them so well, have the government in their pockets,â&#x20AC;? Lyon says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alternative medicine keeps getting pushed off as quackery, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived on it my whole life.â&#x20AC;?

As they get Ismael Imports up and running, Ibrahim, Lanzetta and Lyon share duties; they also have partners in France, Thailand, Japan and Ethiopia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now we all have to learn everything,â&#x20AC;? says Lanzetta, a former carpenter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I would say if you were to cut it down, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in charge of the distilling part, Mahdiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in charge of communications â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he speaks five languages and is talking to everybody â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Caseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got the management and computer thing.â&#x20AC;?

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;distilling partâ&#x20AC;? seems pretty cushy on a recent August afternoon. Lanzettaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set up the equipment on a table outside his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lakeside home on Colchester Point. In the bright sun, breeze blowing across the lake, the scene looks more like a barbecue than a business venture. You could easily mistake the steam distiller for a keg of Otter Creek.

But the distillation is actually a lot of work. Converting 10 pounds of resin to 400 milliliters of frankincense oil â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which they plan to sell wholesale for $1 a milliliter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; takes three to four hours. And there are four tons of resin to get through. To help expedite

Once they begin selling the oil, Ismael Imports plans to give 20 percent of the profits back to the cooperating landowners in Somaliland. A harvest-rotation schedule will alleviate pressure on the trees. “We’re tracking what we’re doing,” says Lyon.

He describes their approach to business as “the antithesis of capitalism: through collaboration, not just for profit but for the benefit of the people.”

Ismael Imports is also working with University of Vermont

N STORY

CASEY REA

early 40 years ago, Brian Wilson abandoned what was intended to be his recorded masterwork, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;teenage symphony to Godâ&#x20AC;? called Smile. In the decades that followed, the gifted pop composer and former Beach Boy slipped further away from his family and fans in a downward spiral of addiction, depression and paranoia. While recent years have been rehabilitative, Wilson still struggles daily with his personal demons. So it came as a shock when he announced last year the resurrection of the long-dormant Smile project, in the form of a brand-new recording and concert tour. I had the pleasure of hearing Wilson and his young, 18piece band perform at MontrĂŠalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Place des Arts a couple of weeks ago.

Considered by most rock critics as the greatest â&#x20AC;&#x153;lostâ&#x20AC;? album in music history, Smile is a harmonically complex, modular song cycle conceived as a psychedelic paean to young America. Although many of its tunes have surfaced over the years in bootleg form, until recently the true shape and sequence of Smile remained a mystery to everyone but Wilson and his lyrical collaborator, Van Dyke Parks. Even after the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s October 2004 release, many fans wondered how the tunes would come across in a live setting.

Only a rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll chamber orchestra could do justice to such exquisite material. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what Wilson assembled.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d heard Wilson and his freakishly talented band on the acclaimed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pet Soundsâ&#x20AC;? tour in 2002. Then he looked every bit his 62 years, nervously scanning the audience and speaking in a halting, clipped tone. The concert itself, at Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Avalon, was brilliantly executed and incredibly moving, but Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legendarily troubled psyche still seemed haunted.

At the MontrĂŠal show, the composer was far more stable. While his non sequiturs remained hilariously unpredictable, it was obvious that recent successes have bolstered his confidence. When people called Wilson a genius back in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s, it contributed to his mental breakdown. Nowadays, he seems proud to bear the mantle. By deciding to tackle Smile, Wilson has finally made peace with a period of his life that was marred by personal and professional setbacks. Completing the heady concept album after all these years may have served as a personal exorcism.

Wilson took the stage to a standing ovation, then sat behind a keyboard that he played only once during the evening.

Launching into a pre-Smile set that included plenty of Beach Boys classics and a handful of obscurities, the group sounded tight, if a bit stiff. Several tunes came across as elaborate elevator music, or worse, as museum pieces. There were too many familiar oldies for my taste; I would have preferred â&#x20AC;&#x153;Busy Doinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Nothingâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s cut in which Wilson gives actual directions to his Laurel Canyon, California, home â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in place of the moldy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Help Me Rhonda.â&#x20AC;?

Still, the harmonies on â&#x20AC;&#x153;In My Roomâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Surfer Girlâ&#x20AC;? remained dazzlingly fresh, and the more rockinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; numbers, such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marcellaâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sail On, Sailor,â&#x20AC;? showed that Wilson enjoys mixing things up.

A puzzling moment occurred mid-set when he introduced a holiday tune. As the well-heeled boomer audience stared ahead blankly, Wilson belted out the line, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christmas always comes this time each year.â&#x20AC;? Has it really been moved to August?

After a short break, Wilson and the band began the Smile cycle with the madrigalesque â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Prayer.â&#x20AC;? Swathed in blue lights,

BRIAN WILSON

they segued into a spot-on rendition of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heroes & Villains,â&#x20AC;? a gritty tale of gunpowder and lost glory. Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice was in far better shape than Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d anticipated; he was hitting notes that I would have thought well out of his range. Assisted on the highest falsettos by â&#x20AC;&#x153;stunt Brianâ&#x20AC;? Jeffrey Foskett, Wilson glided through Smileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s majestic melodies as though it were still 1967.

His touring band includes members of the multi-instrumental and vocal group The Wondermints, an L.A. band renowned for their flawless recreation of the California sunshine-pop sound. In addition, Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entourage features singer Taylor Mills.

Although having a woman on board might be unsettling to some Beach Boys purists, her classic good looks and coy demeanor certainly pleased this crowd. And her terrific voice meshed brilliantly with Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, giving the music a new dimension.

Members of the Stockholm String and Horn Ensemble, hired to reproduce Smileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orchestral flourishes, seemed thrilled to be playing with Wilson. They danced, chomped vegetables and even donned fire hats during â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mrs. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Learyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cow,â&#x20AC;? a ferociously atonal tune to which Wilson once attributed supernatural fire-starting powers.

Amazingly, the recorded version of Smile pales in comparison to the live experience.

Cascading vocal harmonies were backed up by exotic rhythms and surf guitar, with band members switching between instruments ranging from xylophone to French horn.

The sheer musicality they displayed was phenomenal; leaving the concert later, I overheard fans gushing about the players as

much as their employer.

Although Smile is quite sophisticated musically, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not overly serious. Neither is its creator. During his performance, Wilson pantomimed each lyric, like a child eager to get his message across. At one point, he led the crowd in a yelling contest; at another, he gave himself a bear hug.

While some tunes came across as mournful, others were closer to campfire sing-alongs.

In Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world, melody, harmony and tone are employed to paint aural pictures. Barbershop harmonies, classical chorales and patchwork psychedelia all came together to envelop the audience in a world of sound. And anybody who can lead 18 professional musicians through a cappella impersonations of farm animals deserves some credit.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly amazing, however, is how these seemingly disparate elements were threaded together in performance.

Smileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lyrics contain multiple references to exploration, both literal and metaphorical.

Plymouth Rock, the Sandwich Isles and Hawaii provide the backdrop for this transcendental travelogue. Old-time imagery such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Grand Cooley workers on the railroad,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give you a home on the range,â&#x20AC;? runs alongside the quasi-metaphysical koan, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A child is the father of the man.â&#x20AC;?

As the Smile suite made its slow sashay across the Americas, the audience remained transfixed. Each tune was like a glimpse into Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique worldview. From the juvenile romp of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barnyardâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vegetablesâ&#x20AC;? to the baroque splendor of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Surfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Upâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cabinessence,â&#x20AC;? the compositions exhibited an uncommonly durable charm. Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s masterpiece will surely live on long after heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone.

The lysergic shivers of Smileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good Vibrations,â&#x20AC;? had the crowd on Cloud Nine. Back in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;66, Beach Boy Mike Love, who may have been looking for any excuse to provoke Wilson, deemed the tuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original lyrics too esoteric. Wilson acquiesced, and a compromised version made it to the top of the charts. Now the tune finally features its intended prose: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I bet I know what sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like / And I can feel how right sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be for me / Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weird, how she comes in so strong / And I wonder what sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pickinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; up from me?â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guess how these lines could spark such controversy, but nice to hear the piece as its composer intended.

A giant sun emblazoned with Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visage appeared over the stage as the tuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eerie theramin and staccato cello worked their magic. In the middle of it all, the once and future â&#x20AC;&#x153;King of Popâ&#x20AC;? seemed on top of the world. During the songâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final note, one of Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guitarists flipped back his instrument to reveal the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smileâ&#x20AC;? in a gloriously trippy font. The audience hardly needed encouragement. m

<music> THE THRILL IS BACK :: Electric blues legend

B.B. King’s stinging

guitar licks and throaty bellow have delighted audiences worldwide since the 1940s. With his famed guitar “Lucille” in tow, King has logged more miles than nearly any musician on the planet, often playing 300 dates in a year. Although he recently turned 80, the amiable artist shows little sign of slowing down.

Don’t miss your chance to hear the legend with young gun Joe Bonamassa at the Shelburne Concerts on the Green, Wednesday, September 7.

CLUB CRAWL

TWO FOR THE ROAD

On certain nights, Burlington’s live music scene presents almost too many options. That’s not a bad thing — anybody looking for action in mid-February knows what the opposite is like. But it’s sometimes difficult for me to see everything I want to, especially when I’m chit-chatting with what seems to be the entire local music community. Still, I managed to hear some music last Thursday night, in between the schmoozing: Peg Tassey, The Smittens, The Middle Eight, Pagoda, Lightning Ridge and The Physics Club all did their respective things at three different venues, while I did my best to keep up.

First was The Middle Eight at 1/2 Lounge. Most scenesters worth their denim are already aware that the group is heading out to seek fame & fortune in the Windy City. While the band has already played an official farewell show, they’ll be popping up here and there over the next several weeks. Like clowns in an undersized automobile, the Eight looked cramped on 1/2’s tiny stage. I honestly don’t know how they managed to get the lot of ’em up there. With a drummer, upright bassist, banjo player, two guitarists and an accordionist, the group is already bigger than most. Despite the close quarters, they sounded fantastic. In fact, the lack of amplification and shortage of microphones only enhanced the authenticity of their harmony-laden Americana.

Members huddled around a single mike, crooning like alt-country angels, and plucking, picking, strumming and shuffling through a stellar set.

The inimitable Peg Tassey played in a couple of configurations down the street at Nectar’s. Her acoustic set with Kissing Circle was fantastic — she should come out of retirement more often. Cellist Indigo Ruth-Davis, bassist Gary Williams and accordionist David Symons offered colorful counterpart to Tassey’s powerful pipes, while guest clarinetist Sara Paule brought a novel tonality to several songs. As Tassey sang her captivating art-rock tunes, I was struck by what a truly riveting performer she is. Her electric set with her new rock band Louder was somewhat anticlimatic, however. The tunes were solid, but the stripped-down, three-piece outfit lacked the mystery and grace of her Kissing Circle performance.

At that point, it was time to run upstairs and catch some Smittens, who were celebrating the release of their new disc, A Little Revolution. The band looked and sounded terrific, though I only managed to hear a handful of their songs. All that recent touring has definitely brought out the best in them.

By the time I hopped back downstairs for Pagoda, they were unfortunately wrapping up their set. Still, I was lucky (yes, lucky) enough to catch an extended noise jam, which must’ve cleared out any jam-rock ghosts lingering in the building. With his focused, somewhat sullen demeanor, front man Michael Pitt seemed as tortured as the dead rock star he recently played on film. After several minutes of ear-rending cacophony, the band segued into a more conventional number before exiting the stage with a curt thank you. And, in case you were wondering, there were no other celebrity appearances.

Next up were Lightning Ridge, a band I’d heard tons about but somehow never saw live. For those unfamiliar, the group plays high-voltage, arena-ready rock. How much of their shtick is tongue-in-cheek is anybody’s guess, however. While they definitely had their Spinal Tap stage routine down, their music was far more jam-oriented than I had expected. Maybe it’s time for Led Loco to write some originals.

Finally, it was back up to Metronome to catch The Physics Club, who recently provided the live soundtrack to a local stage production of The Breakfast Club. Featuring Swale’s Jeremy Frederick and Amanda Gustafson, the band is full-on, dorky fun.

Frederick’s psych-ward rendition of “Nothing Compares 2 U” was a real crowd pleaser, but by then I was feeling rock (and booze) fatigue, so I hit the road. Not a bad note to end on.

Here’s a quick heads up on a couple area shows you might want to check out this week.

Wednesday, September 7, sees East Coast pop alchemists Apollo Sunshine returning to town in a performance with hip-hop fusion band Cold Duck Complex and local Americana rockers Will at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge. While it’s certainly an oddball bill, each band offers something unique. Headliners Apollo Sunshine are one of my favorite “below the radar” acts, with a sound that runs from Kinks-esque rock to psychedelic, proggy pop — often in the same tune. Cold Duck Complex fuse humorous, sometimes political rap music with funk and rock muscle. Will might still be on their way up, but their classic songwriting and unpretentious vibe are winning over new fans every day.

You also might want to catch Aquadora’s CD release party at Club Metronome on September 1. The band’s blissed-out indie rock is filled with swirling textures and plaintive, emotional vocals that has little in common with generic radio-rock. Actually, band isn’t exactly the right word. In reality, Aquadora is the brainchild of the singularly named local songwriter and WRUV DJ Jonny. Joining him for the celebration will be post-rockers Akrasia and avant-garde collective Nest Material. Just thought you might want to know.

PICTURE THIS

PHOTO: JEREMY GANTZ

Most folks know Jeremy Gantz as the drummer for local altcountry darlings The Middle Eight. Well, he’s also an accomplished photographer. A showing of his most recent work takes place at Radio Bean in Burlington from September 1 through 15, with a reception at 5 p.m. this Thursday.

For his first big show, Gantz has decided to stick with what he knows, namely music. A collection of black-and-white portraits of local troubadours, the series features shots of notables such as Mickey Western, Brett Hughes, Max Schwartz, Alex Toth, Amanda Gustafson, Joe Cleary, Nickel B. and more. “These are all kind of formal portraits,” Gantz says. “They’re intimate shots of some the faces behind the Burlington music scene. It definitely seems like a cool idea, particularly since the majority of pictorial documentation of musicians tends to favor live performance. “I thought it would be a great opportunity to capture these people at this place in time.” Who knows, maybe we’ve got a new Annie Leibovitz in our midst.

For all of you fans who might want to own a piece of music history, or even practice your dart game, Gantz’s prints will be for sale. Hmm, which one do I want? Feel free to pop down, have a beverage and have a peek at some of our community’s finest musicians in all their glory.

reviewthis THE WILL PATTON ENSEMBLE, STRING THEORY

MOISTBOYZ, IV (Sanctuary Music, CD)

(King Hill, Music CD) String Theory, the latest from multiinstrumentalist Will Patton, should nudge one of Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best-kept secrets a little further into the spotlight. In addition to Pattonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s considerable skills, the disc features some of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest players â&#x20AC;&#x201D; guitarist Steve Blair, stand-up bassist Clyde Stats, violinist David Gusakov and drummer Steve Wienert. Each track on the album flows together seamlessly, touching upon European Gypsy music and Brazilian choro along the way. Production credit goes to Patton and AndrĂŠ Maquera of West Street Digital in Fairfield.

Opener â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cecil Swingâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of two tracks written by and featuring French Gypsy guitarist Ninine Garcia â&#x20AC;&#x201D; feels familiar but avoids sounding derivative. Focused but unconstricted, the tune plays like Django Reinhardt and an eight-piece samba band jamming on a Vermont porch.

Patton plays several stringed instruments, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the liquid grace of his mandolin work that truly dazzles. His instrumental dexterity is trumped only by his compositional prowess. Pattonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-penned sambas and choros sound perfectly natural next to the jazz standards by Sonny Rollins and Horace Silver here.

Listeners unfamiliar with Rollinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Moeâ&#x20AC;? might find it to hard to distinguish it from Pattonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own creations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and some might wonder how the tune ever could have featured a saxophone. Silverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Calcutta Cutieâ&#x20AC;? is likewise brilliant, featuring dreamy, melodic strings that could send shivers down even the stiffest of spines.

The most magical moments on String Theory come when these talented musicians surpass the usual boundaries of their instruments. Violin scratches and mandolin drones create moments of eerie beauty, all the while defying convention. Pattonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Anna plays some especially sensual clarinet on two cuts, one of which, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Choro for Rachel,â&#x20AC;? is dedicated to the late Burlington songstress Rachel Bissex.

The sole low point on the record is its closing track, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Isabel.â&#x20AC;? The discâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slowest cut, it sounds too much like something you might hear as background music on the Weather Channel. Still, it underscores just how varied the album is.

String Theory features impeccably voiced waltzes and frenetic swing, but it offers listeners more than just a display of chops. Firm believers in the sacredness of sound, Patton & co. also understand that silence can be just as beautiful. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to their accomplishment.

ADAM KING

Moistboyzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest batch of muscular, anti-PC rock is an attack on flag-happy, faux-patriotic ignoramuses. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a celebration of the grittier aspects of living, from cheap intoxication to even cheaper sex. Simply titled IV, the record finds the duo of Guy Heller and Mickey Melchiondo tearing through one red-blooded, pottymouthed scorcher after another.

For those not in the know, axeman Melchiondo is a founding member of mock-rock maestros Ween. Although Moistboyz are equally juvenile, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re far more straightforward musically. While Melchiondo contributes some ace guitar playing to the disc, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exchanged his usual psychedelic licks for amphetamine and Budweiser-fueled riffage.

Frontman Heller makes his antagonistic presence felt early on. The provocatively titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Give a Fuck Where the Eagle Fliesâ&#x20AC;? is a bile-filled invective against the American war machine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horses and all the kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s men succeeded in pissing me off again,â&#x20AC;? Heller growls over guitars spiky enough to take an eye out. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not likely to witness this level of left-wing vitriol unless you steal Michael Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lunch.

The anti-authoritarian theme is maintained through most of the album, particularly on the chugging â&#x20AC;&#x153;Uncle Sam & Me,â&#x20AC;? which paints an equally unflattering picture of the U.S. political climate.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just leaders, soldiers and law-enforcement types that take a bashing. The redneck protagonist in â&#x20AC;&#x153;White Trashâ&#x20AC;? doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand a chance against Hellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pointed rants; neither does the creepy pedophile from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Roy.â&#x20AC;? Moistboyz deserve extra credit for creating a character so disgusting you feel like cleaning your ears by the end of the song. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Captain Americaâ&#x20AC;? is a gloriously menacing ode to cocaine, booze and paranoia that might just ring true for select listeners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fucked Herâ&#x20AC;? makes fun of a dude aiming to score with the local harlot. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to tell if Heller is making fun of the guy for being a loser, or congratulating him for chasing such easy prey. Either way, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter; Melchiondoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleazy guitar solo says more about illicit carnal activities than words ever could.

In this age of sanitized radio-rock, Moistboyz really hit the spot. Although the band has always been a side project, IV boasts more visceral thrills than most full-time acts could hope to muster. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss your chance to see them live in their first North American tour Tuesday, September 6, at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an all-ages show, so if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re under 18, you might consider hiding this review from your folks.

SLAP-HAPPY :: Austinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provocatively named Asylum Street Spankers offer a white-knuckled ride through American music history. The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swinginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; jump-blues, ragtime and country tunes are always performed unplugged, providing audiences with a rowdy acoustic experience. With their drug-culture references and barroom bravado, these virtuosos of vintage have earned their status as true folk-punk renegades. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss them this Thursday at the Middle Earth Music Hall in Bradford.

SHORTS

The Brothers Grimm HH

E GERMAN BALONEY Gilliam’s fractured fairy tale is unlikely to leave fans satisfied.

ven the most visionary artists, it would seem, can be blind to the truth about their own work. For example, in a recent interview the great filmmaker and Monty Python alum Terry Gilliam (Time Bandits, Brazil, 12 Monkeys), lamented the state of affairs at the cineplex this summer, and commented on the latest from Spielberg in particular. “I saw War of the Worlds,” he said, “and I thought Steven Spielberg is a man who makes brilliant scenes but can’t make a movie anymore.”

We’ll see whether that proves true of Spielberg’s highly anticipated holiday season release, Munich. What’s abundantly clear at this moment, however, is that pretty much the same may be said about Gilliam himself. But even the scenes aren’t terribly brilliant this time around. The Brothers Grimm is a meandering, borderline incoherent series of set pieces, and a handful of them are minor visual treats. The movie as a whole, though, is taxing and tiresome — a trivial concoction from a director whose name for decades has been synonymous with cinematic bravado.

Problem one is the premise. It’s a lunkheaded toss-off that recasts the fraternal team of fairy-tale scribes as a pair of 18thcentury con men who travel from village to village taking money from superstitious rubes in exchange for exterminating paranormal pests they themselves produce with smoke and mirrors. Early in the film, they’re summoned to a small German town whose inhabitants are living in terror of a malevolent ghost. An elaborate sequence follows in which the duo ostensibly attracts, attacks and destroys the evil spirit for a hefty fee.

The techniques they employ to fabricate the spectral encounter are revealed to the audience afterward. What’s never explained is how the charlatans get away with staying on in town to quaff the free drinks bought for them in the local tavern, and accept the grateful affections of admiring young women. If there was an evil spirit out there prior to their arrival, after all, it’s still out there in the wake of it. Common sense would dictate getting out of Dodge before that has a chance to become apparent. This is a picture in which good sense, unfortunately, is anything but common.

Problem two is the cast. Matt Damon and Heath Ledger have about as much business heading up a Terry Gilliam production as do Freddy Prinze Jr. and Pauly Shore. The two

couldn’t appear more uncomfortably out of their elements.

Attaching their names to the project may have helped attract funding for it, but in every other respect, their presence detracts. Damon seems lost at sea with a British-ish accent and proto-Austin Powers wig. Ledger’s performance is a cloying amalgamation of jittery mannerisms and distracted mumbling.

To call their characters ill-defined would be a colossal understatement. Two big names haven’t combined forces to generate this little interest since Ben and J-Lo teamed up to give us Gigli.

Problem three is the script. Written by Ehren Kruger, it’s an unfocused bit of silliness in search of a point. French forces occupying the country arrest the two and sentence them to death for ghost-busting without a license. To save themselves, they must unravel the mystery plaguing the village of Marbaden, where little girls are vanishing and the locals are afraid to venture into the forest to look for them because it’s said to be haunted.

The French figure another team of hucksters must be behind the disappearances, and the Grimms will be well suited to rooting them out. To the brothers’ surprise, the place turns out to be under a genuine spell — something to do with an evil queen (Monica Bellucci) who’s lived for 500 years in a Rapunzel-reminiscent tower in the middle of the woods. She requires the life force of the youngsters to restore beauty to her now-shriveled countenance.

The Grimms find themselves ill-equipped to solve authentic supernatural dilemmas and bumble in tedious fashion for the balance of the film. Gilliam’s bumbling, though, proves most dismaying. With all the possibilities inherent in the realization of a magical forest, the filmmaker’s failure to do something more with his material comes as a shock. The best he can do is twisty trees that scuttle about on their roots. And let’s face it: Been there, done that spooky tree thing, from Sleepy Hollow all the way back to The Wizard of Oz. Neither funny nor frightening, The Brothers Grimm is an appalling mess that might have been redeemed by the sort of big-screen sorcery for which Gilliam is famous. Absent even that, it is a destination devoid of enchantment, and a troubling reminder of the cinematic wizard he was, once upon a time. m

Michael Caine and Cillian Murphy costar.

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Framing Winooski board leagues, pool halls, bars, restaurants, barbershops, cobblers and haberdasheries.

Raised in suburban Michigan, Higgins says â&#x20AC;&#x153;the social fabric of Winooskiâ&#x20AC;? immediately fascinated him. He once ran an Ohio field school for archaeology, so observing Winooskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people and establishments through his chosen art form was â&#x20AC;&#x153;visual anthropology.â&#x20AC;?

In the 1970s, numerous Winooski citizens posed for Higgins. They each held an onion, and the pungent bulbs were handtinted yellow in those photos that were black and white. He found himself in the vanguard of a new breed moving in back then: the youthful counterculture.

Winooski was dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Soho of

Higgins has been snapping photos of Bosnian, Vietnamese and Iraqi families surrounded by mementos of the lands they left behind â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and holding the requisite onions. radio reports about miles of traffic jams leading to the Upstate New York site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I detoured to Burlington to see a friend,â&#x20AC;? he recalls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was offered a job teaching a printmaking course at the University of Vermont. But I stayed on because I really love Winooski.â&#x20AC;? He would stay at UVM for 30 years and also co-found publicaccess CCTV. Higginsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; passion for his adopted town began fueling his work, as he documented the human dynamics of bingo halls, shuffle-

Vermont,â&#x20AC;? Higgins points out, â&#x20AC;&#x153;or Woho.â&#x20AC;?

The city, which had experienced an economic downturn when the mills closed in 1954, offered low rents, making it a prime target for urban-renewal initiatives of the late 1960s. The local government wanted to overcome Winooskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation as a slum populated by â&#x20AC;&#x153;river rats,â&#x20AC;? a slur once used to denigrate its inhabitants.

But federal grant money dried up before structures that were cleared from the east side of Main Street could be replaced.

WINOOSKI, 1971

Higgins chronicled this early 1970s demolition in slow-motion video and still pictures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made an interesting record of Winooski getting torn down faster than it was getting built back up,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was blue collar, or no collar, but there was a town here. Suddenly, we had a parking lot.â&#x20AC;?

Within a few years, attitudes had changed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the mid-1970s they started to realize the [urban renewal] program was destroying neighborhoods,â&#x20AC;? says Higgins. Historical preservation funds were available to make the Woolen Mill a residential complex and the Champlain Mill a retail space in the 1980s. Around that time, NASA provided some big bucks to consider putting a Buckminster Fullerinspired geodesic dome over the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How many towns in Vermont would have even applied for a grant like that?â&#x20AC;?

Higgins asks rhetorically, adding an ironic footnote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winooskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one square mile, which is very manageable as domes go.â&#x20AC;? A dome, of course, would have looked sort of onion-like. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about anti-sprawl,â&#x20AC;?

Higgins continues, referring to the workin-progress known as Winooski Falls that his camera has been capturing. It will incorporate luxury condos, affordable housing units, offices, stores and a bike path.

Although Higgins is skeptical about this development, he has reason to hope Winooski can revive as a meaningful community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The era that ended in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s was the part that excited me,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That feeling was rekindled when new cultures began arriving in the 1990s.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a destination for refugee resettlement.â&#x20AC;? In fact, more than 20 different languages are spoken in the Winooski school system.

Higgins has been snapping photos of Bosnian, Vietnamese and Iraqi families surrounded by mementos of the lands they left behind â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and holding the requisite onions. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also writing an essay thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely to become a book of his archival photos. The quick-time movie might be a DVD included in the publication. Tentative title: Art, Reinvention and the Changing Face of a Former Mill Town.

Higgins envisions his efforts as part of an interactive installation that reflects the old Winooski and its evolution. The exhibit might feature artifacts he salvaged along the way: booths from the long-gone Henryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cafe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;a little hole in the wall where a lot of stories got toldâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fabled bingo machine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winooski is mythical,â&#x20AC;? says the man who helps preserve that legendary spirit. m

This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inside them.

The GRENADE exploded in a bowl of CREAM placed inside a brown paper BAG. The bag had earlier contained a golden BALL that was CRAFTED by Istwyth, a descendent of Merling the Alchemist. SOME of the gold dust used when he MADE the ball had gathered in the CUFF of his pants.

A distrustful person with no BRAKE on his emotions, Istwyth would SHAKE, rant and RAIL while he HELD a GUN to the heads of his terrified guests. If you asked him whether he ever put his alchemical secrets in WRITING, he would point to a peeling yellow wall that was etched with hieroglyphics.

E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS A FAIR MAIDEN. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 63A. So much for Fickle Fannieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tastes this week. Next week sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

n August 2004, photographer Dan Higgins set up a digital camera on the windowsill of a downtown Winooski apartment. From that perch, it automatically has been shooting one frame a day of the massive construction across East Allen Street. The project will eventually become â&#x20AC;&#x153;a quick-time movie,â&#x20AC;? his term for speeding up the images to conflate all the changes into a few minutesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of action.

This month also marks Higginsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 36th anniversary as a resident of the Onion City, which has always been much more than just the place he calls home.

Winooski is his Muse.

T EXHIBIT “Contemporary Drawing 2005,” juried works by artists from across the country. T.W. Wood Gallery, Montpelier.

Through October 2.

ARTWORK “Series XX #1”

by Frank Woods

PHOTO Marc Awodey

he T.W. Wood Gallery’s “Contemporary Drawing 2005” is an exceptional survey. The jurors cast a wide net for the show; it includes artists, many of whom work in academe, from 45 states and provinces. The quality is consistently strong, which is no small feat in such a diverse exhibition.

Drawing may be the oldest visual media. Its antiquity is demonstrated by the charcoal symbols and shapes scrawled onto a cave wall by some Neolithic proto-artist. As a result of its constant reinvention, you could also say drawing is brand new; contemporary two-dimensional artists continue to blur the artificial lines that have traditionally separated media.

One of those fuzzy areas includes collage. Sometimes considered an appendage of painting, collage also can be a corollary to drawing.

“Bellboy,” by Kentucky-based artist and teacher Jack Girard, is a drawing/collage hybrid that borrows Victorian imagery and “sews” figures together with line. His work suggests a stratified society, in which a uniformed bellboy seems privy to the social secrets conveyed in overlapping layers of collage.

Another mixed-media-and-collage work — in this case involving duct tape — is “Series XX #1” by Vermont artist Frank Woods. His large abstraction incorporates a judicious use of color appearing as miles of lines and Magic Marker scribbles. Out-of-context drawings of dragonflies, a vise and geometric diagrams also appear. The drawing’s foundation is a fog of charcoal, packed like visual bedrock in the lower third of the composition.

Nonobjective abstraction is well represented in this show, many of the pieces in vibrant color. In “Drawing #7,” by Columbus [Ohio] State Community College adjunct professor Stacy Lehman, swags of cool hues seem to be draped over a field saturat-

ed with orange pastel.

Philip Chan is also an Ohio-based artist who draws with irrepressible color; the Youngstown State University teacher is a master of oil stick. His “Fallen Angel” is a red-andwhite abstraction shimmering on textured, tan paper; dense strings of oilstick emanate, mandala-like, from a central form. “Fallen Angel” is part of a larger series that Chan has exhibited

sinewy pen-and-ink environment in which large foreground forms give way to smaller shapes deeper in the space. In those distant regions of the copse, tenebrous clusters of line gather as a welter of scratchy cross-hatching.

Kernan’s marks go in every direction — his wiry aesthetic seems subtly steeped in Abstract Expressionism.

Exhibition jurors, including Dr. Mark Mitchell of the National

Contemporary two-dimensional artists continue to blur the artificial lines that have traditionally separated media. around the country.

Realism is perhaps best represented by yet another Midwestern academic, drawing professor Art Martin of Grand Valley State University in Michigan. His powerful rendering of a nude male in “Torso II” perfectly models the subject’s abdomen, thighs and arms to emphasize the figure’s contrapposto — or twisted, “contrasting” position — in the tradition of Michelangelo.

An expressive landscape of gnarled roots and tangled trees, “Path Near Wadleigh Falls” by Brian Kernan is a

Academy of Design in New York City and top-shelf Vermont artists Lois Eby and David Bumbeck, did an admirable job assembling this show.

While it was probably a pleasurable task, it couldn’t have been easy. As their jurors’ statement explains: “The introduction of new media and new technologies challenged us to delineate the limits of drawing in a manner consistent with the dynamics of artistic practice in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.” They certainly rose to the challenges — and the standards — of both millennia. m

SATURDAY 03

REDNECK REPARTÉE Blue-collar comedy is the new black of funny business. Florida-based radio comedian Dan Whitney spliced together his sleeveless-shirtwearin’, ATV-jumpin’ alter-ego Larry the Cable Guy 13 years ago. Today the trench-digging character is one of the most charismatic in stand-up, laying down lines on a par with Jeff Foxworthy of “you might be a redneck if” fame. Cracking off-color jokes in his grimy, Confederate-flag-enhanced ball cap, the character taps Southern red-state stereotypes, embracing a conservative-libertarian worldview. Although his commentaries may push political buttons, Whitney’s equal-opportunity rants wrap up with, “Lord, I apologize, but that’s funny right there.” Take in his schtick, and decide for yourself whether hick is chic.

‘LARRY THE CABLE GUY’ Saturday, September 3, Champlain Valley Exposition, Essex Junction, 7:30 p.m. $3843. Info, 863-5966. http://www.larrythecableguy.com

scene@CANINES AND COCKTAILS HUMANE SOCIETY OF CHITTENDEN COUNTY, SOUTH BURLINGTON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 6â&#x20AC;&#x201C;8 P.M. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can you tell that Rosie is new to the concept of ice cream?â&#x20AC;? asked the owner of the chocolate Lab puppy. Rosie stared forlornly at the cup of Ben & Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vanilla ice cream that sat upside down on the grass. The treat was quickly gobbled up by the bigger dogs.

Fortunately, puppies are like toddlers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; easily distracted and quick to recover from lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little setbacks.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d arrived shortly after 6 p.m. for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canines and Cocktailsâ&#x20AC;? fundraiser at the Humane Society of Chittenden County, but already the shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parking lot on Kindness Court was filled with cars. Apparently, combining many peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite social activities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; drinking and dog parks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was a winning formula, as the event drew more than 100 people on a gorgeous Thursday evening. I made my $5 donation, got my hand stamped with a purple paw print, and gave my canine companion, Nicky, a complimentary bone to chew. Then we headed to the buffet table for some human treats.

Holding a drink, pen, reporterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pad and dog leash was no easy trick, especially when there are buffalo wings and cheese cubes within snoutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reach of a long-legged bear dog.

I opted for a scoop of strawberry ice cream as Nicky dragged me toward the fenced exercise area for some playtime.

Nicky, a dominant 7-year-old male, quickly befriended Milo, a submissive 3-year-old Akita/border collie mix, and the two were soon engaged in a playful game of mutual humping. Nearby, Frisco, an older German shepherd, had figured out how to open the latch on the safety gate, which now required a human sentry to prevent another Houdinilike escape.

The dog owners watched with bemusement as a stampede of grass-stained puppies rampaged around the pen, occasionally knocking the legs out from under an unsuspecting drinker. And we made the requisite jokes about having one too many beers and waking up beside â&#x20AC;&#x153;a real dogâ&#x20AC;? weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d met the night before. But the joke was on me when I had to stop taking notes to pick up a steamy pile. From then on, I passed on the finger foods.

HAPPY HAUNTING

PHOTO: HUBERT SCHRIEBL

Sometimes people don’t know what they’re missing. Noel Coward’s classic comedy, Blithe Spirit, takes this theme to heart. An author invites a medium to his English country house to conduct a séance, as research for his next novel. Unexpectedly, the host finds himself contacted by his coquettish — and decidedly deceased — first wife, whom only he can see. His second wife is savvy enough to realize that the ghost of her husband’s former love hasn’t been laid to rest, and a love triangle ensues. Originally produced in 1941 to raise the spirits of war-weary Brits, the witty, three-act farce also sounds out serious social truths that are sure to result in, er, spirited discussions — no Ouija boards necessary.

‘BLITHE SPIRIT’ Wednesday, August 31, through Sunday, September 4, Weston Playhouse, various times and prices. Info, 824-5288.

RURAL RHYTHMS What better setting than a rural farm for a flock of performers to prove old-time country is alive and well? Sophisticated Nashville singer-songwriter Colleen McFarland (pictured) headlines two days of folk and blues with soaring, passionate vocals. Jesse Terry shows off the mojo of a major song scribe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he recently won an industry contest sponsored by the Nashville Songwriters Association International â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as does the gruff-but-tuneful Alastair Moock, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often compared to indie-folk-giant John Prine. Local stars shine alongside the Grand Ole Opry imports: Rutland-based folk rocker Chad Hollister joins Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Celtic-influenced lyricist Bonnie Waters and festival organizer Jay Ottaway, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just back from a fourmonth Nashville songwriting stint himself. Sounds like one hip hootenanny.

WORKING IT OUT

The first Monday in September hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always been viewed as the last chance for summer relaxation. Labor Day owes its origins to political protest. Knights of Labor parades in 1880s New York City mobilized workers. President Grover Cleveland established the federal holiday in 1887, as a way to differentiate it from the Socialist May Day tendencies of Europe. Modern workers can have it both ways: An open parade through downtown Burlington lets anyone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employed march for themselves, and Congressman Bernie Sanders speaks about the current state of working Americans. Afterward, a Battery Park cookout feeds the masses hotdogs, hamburgers and veggie options, supplemented by music from local folkster AnaĂŻs Mitchell and the optimistically named band Right Idea.

LABOR DAY PARADE & PICNIC Monday, September 5, parade starts at H.O. Wheeler School, Burlington, 10:30 a.m. Picnic at Battery Park, Burlington, noon - 3 p.m. Free. Info, 223-5247. http://www.cedoburlington.org/whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;snew.htm

These exercises help to strengthen from the inside out, by keeping the bone marrow soft and supple. The stars also help to rejuvenate the body by strengthening the tendons, bones, muscles and connective tissue. Rather than increasing muscle size and bulk the Six Stars focus the Qi, or internal energy, giving a sense of solidity, depth and grounding of the physical body.

Master Share K. Lew is a Taoist priest with over 60 years’ experience in the traditional Taoist arts. Master Lew received his education at Wong Lung Kwan, a Taoist monastery in the Luo Fo mountains near Canton, China. He had studied the Tao Ahn Pai (Taoist Elixir Method) system at Wong Lung Kwan for 13 years. During that time he trained in the full range of Taoist healing and martial arts. At the core of his training was the system of cultivation of the internal energies known as Qi. The exercises that Master Lew teaches are part of what has been traditionally called the internal or “Nui Gung” system of martial arts.

L RE A

SEPTEMBER 01-07

ARIES

(March 21-April 19): Here’s how rock critic Aidin Vaziri described the stage set when hip-hop artist 50 Cent played in San Jose: “an urban wasteland that looked like it was designed by Disney (complete with an overturned police car, graffiti-covered trashcans and the decapitated head of the Statue of Liberty).” I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, Aries, but there’s a certain resemblance between that environment and yours. The so-called chaos you’re surrounded by is either imaginary or artificial or both. It may be seductively well made, and therefore hard to resist, but you can walk away from it any time you choose.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): You have the potential to be a great wizard in the coming week. Here’s how to fulfill that promise: (1) Renounce grandiose fantasies of transforming lead into gold or frogs into soul mates. (2) Think small, be specific, get extremely pragmatic, and don’t make up stories based on inconclusive evidence. (3) Take everything that’s dreamy and hazy and bring it down to earth. (4) Don’t bitch about the limitations; love them and use them to your advantage. (5) Treat idealism as a distraction unless it can be translated into concrete acts that do some good for actual human beings.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): A respected medical journal reports that one out of four people thinks that “scientists have already found a cure for cancer, but that this cure is being withheld by the health-care industry because it makes more money treating the illness.” There are a lot of paranoid theories like this going around.

Millions believe in the existence of elite puppet masters who manipulate our shared resources to serve their own power and wealth rather than the public good. I’m not smart or crazy enough to evaluate these theories. But I do know that for you right now, Gemini, it’s crucial to be extremely skeptical of every authority, expert and leader.

You should express similar discernment toward those who present themselves as hip, high-status or special. It will be to your advantage to disre-

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “If the Angel

spect hierarchies and become a devotee of pure democracy.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “All I learned in the three colleges I attended,” says my friend Davey, “was how to beat the system by using its own rules against it.” “All I learned in college,” declares author Miravi Bhuna-Giva, “was how to make up sh—.” “All I learned in college,” asserts late-night TV talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel, “was how to drink while standing on my head.” All these educational experiences are highly recommended for you in the coming weeks, Cancerian. You’re in a phase when you’ll have luck and grace if you act like an eager student, whether you’re trying to perfect the art of squeezing more perks out of the game of life or mastering goofy tricks that will make more people want to invite you to their parties.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do you have total confidence in your ability to swing lawn chairs around with your teeth? Can you safely eat broken glass, withstand people riding bicycles over your belly, and smash bricks with your head? If so, you don’t need my advice this week. But if you’re not sure you’re capable of pulling off the kinds of feats I named, please resist the temptation to try them. For that matter, don’t even think of submitting to other strenuous tests that are at the edge of your ability. This is a time for you to lay low and recharge, not throw yourself into trials by fire. Be modest and self-protective, not brazen and reckless.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have weathered a turning point in your relationship with darkness and will never again be tempted by its strange attractions. Did you hear what I said? You have had your last encounters with hellish monsters that unleash torment for the fun of it. You will never again get mixed up with events that resemble crawling through caverns filled with the souls of the damned. In the future, you may on occasion have weird dreams about owls and spiders and snakes, 2 but they will be good weird. Congrats, Virgo.

decides to come, it will be because you have convinced her not by tears but by your humble resolve to be always beginning; to be a beginner.”

So said the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, as if speaking to your exact needs right now. Let me offer this addendum: The Angel wants to come very badly. She is passionate about offering you the novel assistance she has dreamed up just for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Painter Henri Matisse (1869-1954) departed so recklessly from the traditions of his art form that some critics believed he threatened to undermine civilization. That seems unbelievable to us today. Can you imagine any modern painter, musician, writer or filmmaker being accorded power like that? I can’t. Those whose creative expression carries the greatest clout do their work in the areas of business and technology. Having said that, I’ll now make an exception: You currently have the potential to wield a dramatic influence with your creativity in every realm except business and technology.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Dear Rob: Two years ago I had intimate relations with a mountain. I was driving toward the Cascades when I became aware of a physical longing for Bonanza Peak, which lay ahead of me. As I got closer, I rolled down the windows and sucked in the cool air. I had the exact same sensation as loving someone so deeply that breathing in their breath fills me with erotic images and naughty tingles and lusty compassion.

I thought you should know. — Earth Lover” Dear Earth Lover: Thanks for your testimony.

It’s the perfect message for Sagittarians to hear right now, so I’m advising them to learn from your example.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Truman, who dropped the atom bomb which was cooked up by the Manhattan Project, which was the name of a movie starring John Lithgow, who was in the film Footloose with Kevin Bacon. I invite you to make liberal use of this kind of logic in the coming days, Capricorn. The astrological omens say it will be healthy for you to let your imagination run away with you as long as you don’t take as gospel truth all the conclusions it leads you to.

So please feel free to ramble down the fine line between creative storytelling and total BS.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When your plane takes off and the flight attendants give you their lecture on what to do in case of emergency, they remind you that “your nearest exit may be behind you.” That’s good advice for you to keep in mind during the coming week, Aquarius. I don’t mean to imply that you’ll be facing some literal danger that will require you to make a quick escape. What I do suggest is that you remove yourself, at least temporarily, from a certain process that’s barreling full-speed ahead.

The best way to do it is to go backward, into the past, or in reverse.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When I went to a hard-core rock festival recently, all but one of the bands made abundant use of the fword. They invoked it so often, both in their songs and between-song patter, that it got boring.

The lone group that departed from the norm did express gleeful rage, but it was with a phrase I rarely hear anymore. “I don’t give a damn,” the singer shouted at the end of one song. I chuckled at the archaic modesty of the expression, but it stayed with me more than the histrionics the other bands preferred. That brings me to the advice I have for you, Pisces: Get to the root of your anger and then render it with an understated craft that sets it apart from the overwrought venting that everyone has grown numb to.

There’s a connection between Al Qaeda and actor Kevin Bacon, according to Tatsuya Ishida at www.sinfest.net. Al Qaeda was trained by the CIA, 2 he says, which was established by President Harry

LOLA

the love love counselor counselor the Dear Lola, I started dating this girl a few weeks ago and so far we have hit it off hot and heavy. Everything has been great and we spend quite a bit of time together. This week, however, she’s going on a trip with her friends so I won’t be seeing her for seven days. While we stated that we’re not going to hook up with other people, I can’t help but wonder what is going on. Should I ask her if anything happened once she gets back?

Should I just keep my mouth shut? I need an answer, please!

Worried in Williston Dear Worried, As hot and heavy as your relationship may be, it’s still very new, and this is the first time you and your girlfriend have been apart. So your insecurity is understandable. But you should also understand that this is about you being worried — and not about her necessarily giving you something to worry about. When she returns, you should by all means tell her how you’ve been feeling. What you should not do is broach the topic in a way that assumes her word can’t be trusted.

Love, Lola
