RIGHT ON SCHEDULE! NEW @ 222

We’re right on schedule to open in late December. Workers of various trades were swarming all over the building when I went by earlier, and the building is changing every day! Stuff is ge�ing done FAST, thanks to the constant push by Gary Gibson, our job super extraordinaire! The coordination it takes to pull off a project this complex is really amazing, and in spite of moments when we all want to run out of the job trailer screaming, we are working together as a team to wrap this job up. To you all driving by on busy Dorset Street it still looks pre�y raw, doesn’t it? But to us who see it every day, things look glorious! We have stud walls, we can see where our offices and bathrooms are going, our entryway is taking definite shape, masonry is coming along, curbs are going in, and lighting grids are being hung. We’ve started choosing colors and finishes which, to me, means the end is in sight. We know you’re excited; we are, too.

I WENT TO ITALY…

. . . last April on a buying trip that took me all the way from Northern Umbria down to the bo�om of the heel of the boot in Puglia and then over to Sicily. Two weeks of non-stop eating, visiting farms and factories, and buying some really, really amazing products. They finally arrived last week and are now on our shelves. Here are a couple of my favorites:

CONTE EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

The Puglia region of Italy has over 10 million olive trees and lots of them are over 600 years old! Signore Conte and his son run a small operation where they harvest olives from ancient trees and make some of the most powerful, fruity and spicy oil I’ve ever tasted. I fell in love with it, especially a�er I ate fish that was not just drizzled with their oil; it was DRENCHED in the typical Puglian way.

ANTICHI SAPORI DI SICILIA SEMI-DRIED CHERRY TOMATOES

A jar of these goes a long way. These are not the leathery sun-dried tomatoes we’re used to. They’re succulent, whole cherry tomatoes, sun dried just enough to intensify their Sicilian flavor, packed in oil with a li�le garlic and basil to add to the deliriously delicious flavor. On pasta, fish or pizza… they are divine.

One thing people are surprised to find out about me is... I’m married to a cop. something I would like to do, but haven’t had the chance‌ skydiving! My older brother is a jump master; my other brother and my mother have both been. If I had $10.99 to spend, I would buy‌ chocolate-covered cranberries and a mocha latte. If I had a private jet I would‌

On a sunday morning you will most likely find me... fighting for space in bed — snuggling with my husband, son and two dogs. My weirdest superstition or paranoia is‌ leftovers. I can’t explain it, but they freak me out. The first piece of real estate I bought was... the house I still live in!

HAVE SOME BOLLES I remember [Seven Days music editor] Dan Bolles as “one of those kids” from “one of those bands” in the mid-to-late ’90s, when a then-too-old-to-be-hip guy like me recorded so many high-school hipster projects that even I felt the occasional pang of “hip.” And it wasn’t sciatica then. I recall he was both a super-nice guy and a really good musician. I assume he still is. None of this background information is pertinent to the point of this letter, which I tried to write like one of Dan’s columns: Start with some self-reflection, and then bikini-wax nostalgic with some inside nods and “nudge-winks,” before getting to the point. My point is this: I want to know about the music happening in Vermont. I don’t need a diapers-todrinking-age background to prop up an opinion. I especially don’t like the two paragraphs of self-deprecating “I guess I just don’t get this band . . . ” before he tells me he doesn’t like the band. Or the, “If you like this kind of thing, you might like this thing” kind of thing. Dan, have some Bolles. I know you haven’t had this column long, but stick to journalism protocol for the newsier stuff, and trust that we trust you to make observations and give opinions about the artistic merits. We don’t have to agree with them, but you shouldn’t worry

about that. You can’t. You’re a columnist now, dammit! Joe Egan COLCHESTER

Egan is the owner of Egan Media Productions. SYMPATHY FOR THE ‘DEVIL’? I am saddened that the all-day workshop I did for the Vermont Psychological Association was attacked by people who did not attend, and for things I do not say [“Vermont Psychological Association Under Fire for Misogynist Speaker,” October 10]. To clarify: incest is not a topic of any of my writings. Second, my books are all based on meticulous research. Third, I would never say women don’t work hard. They do. Finally, I would never compare the average feminist to the average Nazi: Nazis killed; feminists don’t. I am the only man to have been elected three times to the board of the National Organization for Women in New York City. I continue to praise feminism for expanding women’s opportunities and self-esteem. But the moment I confronted feminists with too often demonizing men and undervaluing the family, I went from angel to devil. Why am I asked to train psychologists? In part, because my recent books, like Why Men Are the Way They Are and Women Can’t Hear What Men Don’t Say, helped many psychologists understand men (e.g., why men die sooner and

commit suicide more) and prevent domestic violence. Others, like The Myth of Male Power, questioned our cognitive dissonance of theoretically supporting equality while in reality supporting male-only draft registration and judges giving moms preference for children after divorce. Others, like Father and Child Reunion, create an understanding of why dads are crucial. And still others, like Why Men Earn More, empower women to know how they can earn more. Greater depth is

They see the terrorized faces of children while they’re doing it, and they keep on doing it all the same. “Supporting the troops” dooms these bottom-of-the-hierarchy people to behavior akin to the Gestapo’s, and that’s the (well, one of them) story we should be investigating.

SEVEN DAYS | october 17-24, 2007 | webpage 09A

»webpage » vermont youtube of the week University of Vermont senior Louis Armistead doesn’t like the new Dudley H. Davis Student Center, and he’s frustrated with the positive media coverage so far. “I feel like what I’ve been hearing about the Davis Center is so onesided,” he says. So the New York City native took matters into his own hands. He made a short, satirical video critique for UVM TV entitled, “The Davis Center: Precisely What We Need.” Armistead also posted the video to his YouTube channel. A Seven Days reader forwarded me the link last week, and I put it on my blog, “802 Online,” as a “Vermont YouTube of the Day.” As of Tuesday morning, it’s been viewed more than 1300 times. Whatever your opinion of the Davis Center, Armistead’s smart, snarky video is worth watching. It’s the kind of funny “fake news” segment you might see on John Stewart’s Daily Show. Armistead begins by describing the new $60 million facility as a combination of a “shopping mall and New Jersey train station.” He corners UVM President Dan Fogel in a hallway, and interviews him

on camera. Fogel earnestly plugs the center. “You can feel the buzz out there,” says the beaming prez. “The community has come alive in a way with this vital center of activity.” Armistead then cuts to interviews with students, who are less enthusiastic. “Not a big fan of the Davis Center,” says one scowling woman. “It’s kind of cold, sterile,” says another.

in the building, everything else, it’s all student-driven,” he says. Does Brown think the video is funny? “Do I, after the hours that I’ve spent working on this building and this project? A little, I guess.” Armistead, who’s double majoring in political science and film and TV studies, has made several videos while at UVM, including a fake Pabst Blue Ribbon ad and

In the animal kingdom, fertile females will alert their male counterparts when it’s time to get busy — my favorite being the female baboon who sports a swollen, bright pink ass when it’s time for her to mate. Human females, on the other hand, don’t give off any special odors or signs — or do we? I’ve read a number of studies that show us females have a tendency to dress more flashy and be more flirtatious when we’re at our most fertile (generally 12-14 days after the first day of our periods). And now, a recent study out of the University of New Mexico asserts this behavior could have fiscal consequences. Read more online . . .

Pat Brown, director of Student Life and the Davis Center, has seen Armistead’s video. “I think it’s one person’s opinion, and sort of a tongue-in-cheek approach to some feelings about the Davis Center,” he says delicately. He also points out that students actually had a lot of input in the center’s creation. “If you go back and look at where we are, what’s

“Beef Up” Your Culinary Skills at It’s Arthur’s Fault

a humorous spoof on the title sequence of the cheesy sitcom “Full House” called “Full Dorm.” He produced the Davis Center video for a college media internship class. His next target? Burlington’s new marketing designation as the “West Coast of New England.” Watch for it at www.youtube. com/Loutubenation.

There’s nothing more empowering than being able to turn a side of beef into juicy steaks, ribs and roasts. Or maybe I’m just a bit strange. Butchering know-how is crucial for folks in food service; NECI even has a special “Meat Fabrication Lab” in which budding chefs learn the art of dismemberment, but it’s a skill that few home cooks ever learn. But that can change! Arthur Shelmandine, the bottled sauce guru at It’s Arthur’s Fault, teaches cooking classes out of his Jericho home. One upcoming class, “Meat Cutting and Butchering,” will take place on November 17. Here’s part of the course description: “We’ll be butchering a sizable piece of locally raised, grass-fed beef. Our efforts will produce cuts to be used in our dinner as well as freezer packaged items.” The meat will come from Jericho Settler’s Farm.

MONTPELIER — State Auditor Tom Salmon Jr., the man Vermonters chose to be their official government watchdog, is at the center of a lawsuit filed by a former political ally and appointed assistant alleging inner-office deception, recklessness and malice. The case was dismissed last month in Lamoille County Superior Court, but the plaintiff has appealed. The charges, which Salmon refuses to answer, pose troubling questions about the first-term politico’s early days at the helm of

ing more simply. He says there was no “ill will� involved in the decision to ax Burgess, and that there was “no negative slant to his performance . . . It just wasn’t a right fit,� he says. The civil suit hinges on the details of Burgess’ termination — he alleges breach of contract as well as gross negligence and willful misconduct. But what is potentially more damaging to Salmon’s reputation are the revelations of unscrupulous inner-office dealings in the days

Politics is not a game for sissies, and if somebody’s not mad at you every week, you better pack it up and go home. TOM SALMON, STATE AUDITOR one of the state’s highest offices. Morristown resident Matthew Burgess, 45, says Salmon “betrayed� him in the dawn of his two-year term, which drove Burgess to sue the man he had long considered a family friend. Burgess — who started work as Salmon’s administrative assistant January 29 and was unceremoniously fired just two weeks later — claims the way the auditor handled his dismissal was not only illegal, but it paints an unflattering picture of how the son of a former Vermont governor does business. “I was shocked. I was hurt,� Burgess says of the firing, which he attributes to his “political profile� — he’s active in the Vermont Democratic Party. He also suspects Salmon may have overextended his budget by hiring him. Burgess claims, “I ended up being punished and damaged because of his irresponsible actions.� Salmon describes the fir-

preceding Burgess’ official hiring. According to evidence cited in the lawsuit, Burgess informed Salmon via email January 10 that he had quit his job at Ultramar Energy Inc., a heating oil distributor, in Morristown to take a job in Salmon’s office, as the two men had discussed in a previous meeting. In an email response to Burgess later that day, Salmon asked Burgess to keep the news “on the down low.� The email continues, “Please realize that I need to announce this hire after a process has been sought. Right now, our budget is a sensitive issue because its [sic] over . . . You have to understand this place just went through an emotional roller coaster — not just the election.� In the same email, Salmon requests that Burgess meet with three members of his office for an interview. “You will be done by [noon] and we will follow up accordingly outside the of-

fice,� it reads. “I want the staff to feel involved in your hiring, so you are doing me a favor by spending time with these [three] folks, and allowing the process to roll out with deliberation. (Also, we need to say we interviewed a woman for your position) . . .� “He wanted to make the appearance that I was not already hired,� says Burgess. While Salmon acknowledges the seriousness of the charges, he refuses to comment. “I’m unafraid of any issue, or any person, but this is in the legal realm, so I am bound more so to silence,� he says. Burgess says Salmon’s handling of his hiring was the first of many deceptions by the auditor during the brief period they worked together. “It was the first time I became aware that Tom was not being totally candid with me about the other people in the office,� says Burgess. “He’s the auditor of the State of Vermont. What are these games he’s playing with his staff?� Despite the “games� he observed, Burgess remained interested in the $42,000-a-year job. He interviewed with Salmon staffers and, according to the lawsuit, received an email from Salmon January 12. “You proved yourself a loyal and determined soldier,� the email reads. “Enjoy the weekend, and MLK day. He knew what mattered.� “I trusted him,� says Burgess. On January 23, Burgess received an invitation to join Salmon’s staff. The letter, printed on the state auditor’s letterhead and signed by Salmon, outlined his salary and vacation time. At the bottom was a handwritten message: “Let the games begin!� “I didn’t think for a minute he was playing these games with me,� says Burgess. Ten days later, Burgess was on the job when he reportedly received another email from Salmon expressing concern over “a disturbing rumor� that Burgess had been describing himself as Salmon’s “political advisor� — a claim Burgess denies to this day. One week later, Burgess says he was ushered into Salmon’s office and fired because he was “overqualified� and had “too high a political profile.� Burgess says he pleaded with Salmon to explain the firing further, or where the rumors originated, but received no more information from the auditor. Was the dismissal against the law? Not according to Superior Court Judge Dennis R. Pearson. Last month, Pearson found Salmon’s hiring and firing practices to be “deeply unfortunate, and in some ways unfair,� but nonetheless legal. Burgess — who filed an appeal on October 12 — says his family was thrown into financial and emotional turmoil after he was unexpectedly let go. His wife, Lili, was devastated as the family scrambled to make ends meet with three children. Further, the couple had debated the new job for weeks, weighing the pros and cons of Salmon’s offer. Burgess had always wanted to be part of >> 13A

COLCHESTER — Reggie Peters, 73, started smoking while serving as a combat medic during the Korean War. Now a disabled veteran, he goes through two packs a day in his room at the Holy Cross Senior Center in Colchester, where he’s lived for the last 10 years. That is, until smoking a butt became cause for eviction. A new Holy Cross ordinance prohibits smoking almost everywhere on

Square developments,” he says. “But they’re going to get static.” Under the new smoking policy, smokers are relegated to an unprotected plastic bench that sits 225 feet from the center’s main entrance. “I think we’re being deprived of our rights,” Peters says. “I can manage . . . but I just can’t see why we have to go so far from the goddamn building. This is bullshit in my book.” He adds,

It’s just like all these politicians on the Holy Cross committee board, like Dick Mazza, to decide what’s good for you and what’s not good for you. IRVING STECKLARE

the premises, including private rooms. A spokeswoman from the South Burlington-based Cathedral Square Corporation, which manages the center, claims a smoke-free environment serves everyone’s best interests. But Peters and at least one other smoker counter that the ban threatens their health and privacy. “I used to smoke to enjoy myself,” Peters laments, speaking with a reporter on a recent Thursday evening in his apartment while rocking in a La-Z-Boy chair. “I’m gonna try to quit, but it won’t do me no good.” Peters says he spends four hours per day smoking in his car as a result of the new policy. A 79-year-old Korean War veteran, who does not want his name used for this story, nods his approval from a far corner of the room. “This is an experiment, and if they don’t get some static, they’re going do this at the rest of Cathedral

“When it’s cold, no one’s going to go outside.” His friend suggests Cathedral Square’s policy change was motivated by insurance incentives. Kim Fitzgerald, director of operations for Cathedral Square, disagrees. “The real reason is for health benefits,” she says. “It’s not only for the smokers themselves but for their neighbors. We were having a lot of issues with smoke that seeps through the doors that then impedes the neighbors around the smokers’ units.” According to Fitzgerald, the majority of Holy Cross residents are “thrilled” with the decision. Her company owns or manages 21 sites, most of them in Chittenden County. A 2006 Surgeon General’s report supports Fitzgerald’s argument. It found that there is “no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke” and determined that regulating airflow in buildings

where smoking is allowed “does not eliminate exposures of nonsmokers to second-hand smoke.” Cathedral Square’s latest policy also parallels existing state and local anti-smoking initiatives. A 1993 Vermont law prohibiting smoking in indoor public areas, for example, was expanded in 2005 to include bars and private clubs. And earlier this month, Burlington’s Public Safety Committee began hearing testimony regarding a potential smoking ban on the Church Street Marketplace. Ted Wimpey, a fair-housing specialist with the Burlingtonbased Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity, reports that Vermont’s existing fair-housing laws offer no protections to smokers. But Peters, who hasn’t lodged any formal complaints with Holy Cross, still likens the new smoking policy to “elder abuse.” Fitzgerald of Cathedral Square laughs off his suggestion. “Smokers are not a protected class,” she asserts, “and as long as we apply our policy equally, then we’re fine.” As for Peters’ claim about the smoking bench, Fitzgerald says Cathedral Square is planning to shelter it before winter. Irving Stecklare won’t likely be venturing out. A 68-year-old who has lived at Holy Cross for four years, he suffers from bone-marrow cancer and is trying to kick his longtime smoking habit. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have strong feelings on the subject, however. “It’s just like all these politicians on the Holy Cross committee board, like Dick Mazza, to decide what’s good for you and what’s not good for you,” Stecklare complains. Mazza, a Democratic state senator from Colchester, owns a general store in Colchester that sells cigarettes. The new policy “opened up a can of worms,” Stecklare concludes. “I think they should’ve just left it alone.” >

Maine’s public advocate puts conditions on the Fairpoint deal

HALLOWELL, MAINE — After months of litigation, Maine’s Public Utilities Commission wrapped up its formal hearings last week on the proposed acquisition of Verizon’s northern New England phone lines by FairPoint Communications. But before the deal gets regulatory approval in Maine, that state’s public advocate has asked the PUC to impose 23 conditions on both companies, chief among them that Verizon lower its asking price by $600 million. “The conditions that we recommend are essential if this proposal is to serve the interests of Maine people,” said Public Advocate Dick Davies. In a written statement last week, Davies expressed concern about FairPoint’s future financial viability and the impact the deal would have on phone and Internet rates if the company takes on too much debt. FairPoint, of Charlotte, N.C., currently serves about 300,000 phone lines in 18 states and is looking to acquire another 1.6 million lines served by Verizon in Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire. If the deal goes through, FairPoint would jump from being the 14th largest telecom company in the country to the eighth largest. The public advocate also asked for a guarantee that FairPoint will expand its broadband service to at least 90 percent of its customers in Maine. He wants assurances that FairPoint will keep its phone and DSL rates as low as Verizon’s are now. Further, Verizon must ensure that it will not “abandon” its responsibilities in the state until FairPoint’s new billing and customer service systems are up and running properly. If Verizon and/or FairPoint are unwilling or unable to meet any of the 23 conditions, Davies said he will recommend that the PUC reject the deal. The $2.7 billion transaction requires the regulatory approval of all three states’ public utilities boards, as well as the Federal Communications Commission, or the entire deal is off. FairPoint is poised to become Vermont’s largest phone company and the default

’Tis the (Burglary) Season burlington police report rash oF robberies

BURLINGTON — When the Byrds sang the lyrics, “To everything . . . there is a season,” they probably didn’t have burglary in mind. But as it turns out, thieves do have a favorite time of year: We’re in it. Over the past two months, the Burlington Police Department has responded to more than 70 burglaries within the city — a figure Deputy Police Chief Mike Schirling characterizes as “a boat load.” While the department is used to seeing a surge in home burglaries due to the fluctuation of students moving in and out of residences, the number of burglaries reported this autumn dwarfs previous years. Most of the burglaries have not been forced entries, says Schirling, explaining the thieves usually enter through unlocked doors. He even describes one theft where a tenant saw the burglar and — thinking he was a friend of a roommate — said hello, only to find out the man had made off with some of the tenant’s belongings. Police have made at least one arrest. In late September, Timothy Montagne, 22, of Burlington was charged with four counts of burglary. Police would not disclose the location of the thefts due to an ongoing investigation, but Schirling says he does not believe one person is responsible for all of the crimes. Schirling says the extra weeks of warm weather may have contributed to the elevated number of burglaries and expects they will subside with cooler temperatures. PATRICK RIPLEY

the Montpelier scene and play a role in state government. With that in mind, the Burgesses decided to take the plunge. “We understood in our calculations that this might only be for two years,” says Burgess. “We never would have, in our wildest dreams, thought it would have been two weeks.” Burgess did qualify for unemployment after getting fired, but says the compensation didn’t come close to his former pay. Eventually, Ultramar hired him back. What makes the squabble more than a political appointment gone awry? Both men hail from prominent Democratic families. Salmon’s father, Tom Salmon Sr., had been governor, then president of the University of Vermont. Burgess’ father, John, was Bennington County State’s Attorney before the elder Salmon appointed him to the Public Service Board. It was because of this “familial connection,” as Burgess describes it, that he went to work for the Salmon campaign in the summer of 2006, when “Tom had an uphill battle.” Burgess is the Lamoille County Democratic Committee treasurer as well as Morristown Democratic Town Committee chairman — political positions he gave up in order to work in Salmon’s office, and later regained. In the fall last year, Burgess says he pulled some strings to get Salmon onto the podium to speak at the Vermont Democratic State Committee Platform Convention in Barre. Salmon might not be in office today, Burgess says, if not for the political support of his family. Salmon won one of the tightest races in Vermont history when he defeated Republican incumbent Randy Brock by just 102 votes after a recount of more than 250,000 bal-

I ended up being punished and damaged because of his irresponsible actions. MATTHEW BURGESS lots. And it was the first statewide election in Green Mountain history to be overturned by a recount. Burgess says his family hit the streets in support of Salmon throughout the campaign, and that “a large percentage of what put him over the top came from Lamoille County.” The outpouring of support was “the kind of thing you would do for any friend of the family,” says Burgess.

Salmon sees it differently. “It’s a personnel matter, it’s not a history lesson.” And if the allegations in the lawsuit are a potential political liability, Salmon doesn’t seem worried. “Politics is not a game for sissies, and if somebody’s not mad at you every week, you better pack it up and go home,” he says. Salmon called back later and asked to change the word “sissy” to “milquetoast.” >

tate Sen. Peter Shumlin claimed again in an appearance on “The Mark Johnson Show” Monday morning that there will be a “strong” Democratic candidate for governor in 2008, but it definitely won’t be him. In fact, he doesn’t have a name . . . yet. Missed the morning broadcast on WDEV-AM & FM, but host Johnson told “Inside Track” that Shummy of Putney cited “business and family obligations” as the reason for his non-candidacy. Sen. Shumlin said Democratic leaders had tried to talk Secretary of State Deb Markowitz into running, but she’s not interested. Shumlin also told the radio audience, said Johnson, that Progressive Anthony Pollina, currently testing the gubernatorial waters, would have a difficult time attractMATT DUNNE

ing “the middle.” Shumlin was of a mind that Republican State Sen. Vince Illuzzi “would run stronger.” Hey, how about Anthony and Vince face off in a special little Italian primary? Or run as an Italian ticket? Anything’s pastable, right? Illuzzi-Pollina. Or, Pollina-Illuzzi? Let’s face it. Incumbent Republican Gov. Jim Douglas looks like a very tough incumbent. The top rumor making the rounds in Vermont political circles over the past week is that a deal’s already been done — one more term as governor, then the presidency of his alma mater, Middlebury College, awaits him! Finally, since entering the Statehouse way back in 1973, Gentleman Jim wouldn’t have to commute to work! Of course, there’s absolutely no confirmation — nor would there be any at this point. It’s just the wildest, most entertaining, rumor of the week, and one that a couple seasoned, behind-the-scenes Vermont pros scoff at. We’ll see. Meanwhile, one name still being floated in Democratic Party gubernatorial circles is that of former Windsor County State Sen. Matt Dunne. Dunne will be chairing a fundraiser next Monday night — already sold out — at The Center for Cartoon Studies in White River Junction. It’s the top cartooning school in the nation (www.cartoonstudies.org), said Dunne, and it’ll mean that he will be able to “check off one of those things I wanted to do before I die.” Which is? “Meet Garry Trudeau,” replied Matt. “He doesn’t do these things . . . ever. It’s a huge deal.” Former Gov. Madeleine Kunin will be introducing Trudeau, said Young Matt.

s Jazz Standard Had to ask: If Tony the Prog came out of the closet, so to speak, and announced his gubernatorial candidacy, would that discourage a Democrat like Dunne from jumping in? “As I think I said before,” replied Matt, “there are going to be a lot of factors going into my decision whether or not to run, and the discussion or possibility of Anthony Pollina running is not one of them.” Asked when he’ll have a decision on his plans for 2008, Dunne said he’s sticking to his commitment “to wait a full year after 2x5-bobcat101807.indd 1 the last election to start the process of looking at a race.” Dunne, father of a 2-year-old and a consultant for Google, said his future political possibilities “would include the possibility of running against the lieutenant governor, as well as running for governor, as well as not running this cycle. I’m sticking to that trajectory, making sure I’m doing good work for Google, and keeping the Service Politics Institute focused on its mission.” “Service politics” — www.servicepolitics.org — has been a Matt Dunne trademark. In fact, on Sunday he and his crew will be partnering up with Habitat for Humanity to build a new home in Swanton. Some Democrats are open to a Pollina head-to-head against Gov. Scissorhands, and some are not. After all, Independent U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, the man many consider the “father” of Vermont’s Progressive political movement, certainly held the left as well as the middle in his landslide victory over Republican Richie Tarrant in 2006. Where’s Dunne? “Anthony and I have been in touch,” for current Dunne disclosed. “We’ve actually had coffee in Montpelier and talked about possibilities. I think some of the work that Anthony has done, particularly around trying to get a fair price for milk, has been very admirable, and I don’t think anyone 2x5-paulines092607.indd 1 would deny that.” Dunne the Democrat told “Inside Track” that he and Pollina the Prog will have “more conversation in November.” And the goal of those chats will be to figure out “what is the best way that we will have a shot at change in our state, and where’s the best place to focus those energies.” And what are the chances of the Democrats and Progressives burying old hatchets and coming up with a “unity” candidate to spoil GOP Jim’s plans, possibly making him available for that Middlebury presidency sooner? “I’m not ready to speculate on that,” insisted Young Matt. “Just like I’m not ready to speculate on my plans.” God forbid. Me neither. You?

driving a winner in Vermont’s 1990 U.S. House race. He went to Washington in January 1991 with Congressman Sanders. Also picked up a law degree at Georgetown and practiced a few years in downtown D.C. before signing on with Ol’ Bernardo for good in 1999. We asked the former Marine this week if he ever thought he’d end up where he is today: chief of staff for the only socialist member of the United States Senate? “Absolutely not,� replied Weaver. “It’s a long way from those cold and sometimes lonely days in the fall of ’86.� And we’re on the mark, said Weaver, with our observation that Sanders is loving the U.S. Senate much more than he did the House. “Oh, no, you’re absolutely not wrong,� said Jeff. “This place is so well-suited for someone like him who is willing to step out a little bit. It gives him the opportunity to say the things that other people won’t say, or that other people won’t do.� Like what? Well, in the Senate, he noted, a member can bring amendments to the floor on any bill, something one cannot do in the House. And Bernie did just that recently, noted Weaver, when they were working on the immigration bill. “All these companies wanted to bring in these foreign workers,� he said. “Bernie said, ‘If you need foreign workers, obviously we aren’t doing enough to educate American workers.’� That argument held sway, said Jeff, “and the Senate passed Sanders’ amendment on the floor, over some pretty strong opposition, to create hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of math and science scholarships on an annual basis. It’s just an example of the things you can do in the Senate but just can’t do in the House.� Being a “socialist,� we noted, appears to be of little import? “No, it’s not a big deal,� said Weaver the Chief. “What people down here realize about Bernie — you’ve seen it in media stories over and over again over the years — is that even the Republicans, even the people the furthest from him on the ideological spectrum, have respect for him because they know he is a principled guy. And there’s too little of that in Washington.� In fact, we noted, Vermont’s junior senator appears to attract a lot of interest from the foreign press, such as the BBC. “Yes, he does,� confirmed Weaver. “He’s been getting a lot of attention both internationally and nationally because he says things that other people don’t say in a way that other people don’t say them.� Amen. What’s ahead? “We have a big energy bill that needs to be worked out,� said Sanders’ veteran Top Gun. The Energy and Natural Resources Committee is one of five Ol’ Bernardo sits on. “Bernie added some pretty interesting provisions to create new,

green jobs,� said Weaver. “We have some health-care legislation that we’ve been pushing to try to increase universal access for people at the state level. That’s something we’ll be working on. And we’ve got to deal with this fact that the president doesn’t want kids to have health insurance. We’ve got to deal with that problem. “And then, needless to say, we have this war, which needs to be ended,� noted Weaver. “It’s a pretty deplorable situation.� Thank you, George W. Bush! “Any light on the horizon?� we inquired. “Yeah,� replied Mr. Weaver. “It’s called the 2008 election.� Salmon Catch — In last week’s “Inside Track,� Windsor County’s brave State’s Attorney Bobby Sand suggested the “War on Drugs� in Vermont, particularly its lopsided emphasis on prosecuting marijuana cases, is a waste of taxpayer dollars. Sand suggested someone like Democratic State Auditor Tom Salmon take a look at the situation. Auditor Salmon, son of Democratic Gov. Thomas P. Salmon (1973-77), told “Inside Track� this week, “We are interested in all the issues related to the cost to run government.� The Department of Public Safety, said Auditor Salmon, “gets about $26 million in federal money, of which around $2 million goes to grant programs and marijuana education and drug enforcement.� The folks at the state auditor’s office, said Tom the Younger, are “accountants.� Matters related to marijuana decriminalization, he said, “are more of a policy issue.� But Salmon told yours truly he’d “be curious to see what law enforcement felt about this, because I know in Vermont there were about 2500 drug arrests [in 2006], and two-thirds were marijuana-related.� That’s a whole lot of cop time, court time and corrections time, eh? For what? “This being Mental Health Awareness Month,� said Salmon, “there is a very strong effect that all these issues have on the financial statements for the State of Vermont. And we cannot be afraid of addressing it head on.� Tom the Younger, a CPA, sounds like he’s having an absolute ball as Vermont State Auditor. He applauds the work of his predecessors, but insists he’s got to take it to the next level. “I’m hoping we can reform this office even further. I give my predecessors credit for their reforms, but we need to take this to a higher use and achieve more functionality. It has to improve on my watch, for sure,� said Salmon. Sound like it’s in his blood, eh? Our Man in China — Never did a phone interview with anyone farther away than the one the other day with State Sen. Vince Illuzzi. The King of the Kingdom, the youngest person ever elected to the Vermont Senate at 27, was calling from Taipei, Republic of China,

And next to Canada, Taiwan is Vermont’s top trading partner. “You come to a country like Taiwan with certain preconceived notions,â€? said Illuzzi. “When I was a kid, you’d get these cheap little toys with a sticker that said ‘Made in Taiwan.’ So I’d thought I’d come here and find a Third World-like country, and it’s really anything but that.â€? He was surprised, he told us, to find that “the standard of living here is almost equal to the United States.â€? Plus, “they all speak English. “In fact,â€? said Illuzzi, “we’ve been joking today that in the next 20 to 25 years, Chinese should be our first language in America.

The U.S. does not recognize Taiwan as a sovereign nation. After all, Taiwan is considered a renegade province by The People’s Republic of China, which has hundreds of missiles pointed at the island. Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom King told “Inside Trackâ€? he was interviewed by two television stations in Taipei about the obvious slight by the Bush administration. “As I recall it,â€? said Vince, “I basically said that I think most Americans know that the Taiwanese people are hardworking and industrious, and that Vermonters appreciate Taiwanese companies because those companies purchase many of the chips produced at IBM Essex, Vermont’s largest private employer.â€? “Made in Taiwanâ€? no longer means what it did 35 years ago, said Illuzzi. “This country has transformed itself into a hightechnology R&D nation, and it is moving fast-forward to take the lead in the area of biotechnology development and manufacture, which they consider the next frontier.â€? And, yes, said Vince, they have heard of Vermont. “Most are familiar with the changing seasons in Vermont, and some have even attended schools in Boston or New York, and they have skied or at least visited Vermont,â€? he said. Some Taiwanese had heard of one of Vermont’s U.S. senators, and it wasn’t the former prosecutor. “Sanders’ name has come up a couple of times,â€? said Illuzzi. “They find it intriguing that a person who’s declared himself a socialist at some point is in the United States Congress, and they ask questions.â€?

Main Street Museum Acquires Tricky Dicks BY PAMELA POLSTON

It started as an exhibit of artifacts from the Watergate Hotel, and turned into an exhibit of Nixon masks. Or, more to the point, a happening inspired by memories of wearing them, along with sundry news items about robbers disguised as the Crook-in-Chief, and a stripper who takes it all off . . . except her Nixon mask.

in bottles to Alamo masonry and contemporary “bad art.” And those dried cats, Ford discloses, are not real mummies; they’re “merely dehydrated.” Ford began to give shape to his passion in the mid-1990s; he moved the growing collections from his rambling home in Hartford Village to a WRJ store-

Nixon masks come with loads of pre-collected lore, but even this was not enough for David Ford. It’s hard to keep a straight face at White River Junction’s Main Street Museum, which brings the 19th-century notion of “curiosities” into the age of irony. David Fairbanks Ford, 46, is the man behind this delightfully eccentric institution — and his middle name recalls the more sensible natural-history museum in St. Johnsbury with good reason: same family, a few generations removed. It appears that Ford has never met an artifact he didn’t like — in fact, his collection is “based upon love,” as his website sums it up. That’s as good a term as any to begin to explain his curatorial sensibility, which embraces everything from icky-looking things preserved

front three years ago. Basically, if there’s a good story behind an item, he’ll find a way to display it. Which brings us back to those Nixon masks. Ford was talking with a friend from Washington, D.C., where the infamous hotel and complex are undergoing major renovation. Said friend procured a few items from the place: books, silverware, an oyster plate. Naturally the conversation flowed to Nixon, and then to the masks with his likeness — beetling eyebrows, ski-slope nose, devious mien. They were wildly popular in the waning days of his ill-fated presidency and are still readily available on the Internet. Check out Wikipedia’s listing for “Richard Nixon masks,” and you

can add to your body of useless trivia the innumerable characters who’ve worn them, whether in real life (Hunter Thompson) or movies (Wendy in The Ice Storm). Obviously, Nixon masks come with loads of pre-collected lore, but even this was not enough for Ford. He sent out a survey to some 500 folks on his email list, asking such questions as “Whether or not you have ever owned a Nixon Mask, have you ever worn a Nixon Mask?” and “How did it make you feel?” One respondent was Vermont Arts Council Executive Director Alex Aldrich, whose answer to the latter question read: “My skin crawled and I had an almost uncontrollable urge to break into my own office at the Watergate (where I was employed at the time as Program Director for the National Institute for Music Theater).” And so Aldrich’s Nixon mask memories will become part of the Main Street Museum’s collection. Want to contribute yourself? Ship your Nixon mask to the Main Street Museum, 58 Bridge Street, White River Junction, VT 05001. For a copy of the questionnaire, call 356-2776 or email info@mainstreetmuseum.org. The upcoming exhibit of stories, photographs, artifacts and, of course, masks opens November 2 >

Bruce MacDonald’s Magical Metal Works Find a Home BY PAMELA POLSTON

You don’t have to be a magpie to appreciate Bruce R. MacDonald’s bright, shiny things. In fact, the bling-enamored bird would have a hard time picking up one of his heavy metal creations. For 20 years, MacDonald — a.k.a. BRM Design — has been making a name for himself with his finely crafted, quirky homeware items, from UFOshaped salt shakers to sinuous CD racks. About eight years ago, he began experimenting with mark-making on stainless steel. Using various tools, MacDonald created elegant abstractions that change their appearance with the viewer’s position and the play of light. He has since added panels of fired copper, a metal with more explosive alchemical properties. In both mediums, the sense of depth and complexity is remarkable. Like the best paintings, these works bear long and repeated viewing. MacDonald’s wall-hung pieces are available at Frog Hollow and grace the walls of local establishments such as Tilley’s Café on

WPA Heritage on View in Rare Show at the Wood Gallery BY MARC AWODEY pHOTO: MARC AWODEY

One of the most important American artists of the 20th century is virtually unknown today — George Biddle. In his youth he was a classmate of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and he later became a competent Social Realist painter. When Roosevelt entered the presidency in 1933, it was Biddle who suggested to FDR the idea of creating a federal arts program. The rest, as they say, is history. A snapshot of that fertile history is now on view in “Vermont’s WPA Collection” at the T.W. Wood Gallery in Montpelier. Though the Works Progress Administration (WPA) instituted many programs to alleviate the economic deprivations of the Depression, its efforts in the arts have become almost legendary. Wood Gallery Executive Director Joyce Mandeville notes, “For the first time in our history, artists and writers were considered workers and, as a result, the nation has been left with this treasure trove of work.” That’s no exaggeration. The WPA Federal Art Project lasted from 1935 till 1943 and purchased approximately 100,000 artworks from virtually all of the most important artists who plied their trades from early to mid-century, along with a legion of lesser-known painters, printmakers, photographers and sculptors. The Wood’s exhibition of 37 paintings and 10 prints is the best compendium of American work of that era available in the Green Mountain State. The U.S. government owns the works in the Montpelier show, as it does all WPAproduced art. The feds have dispersed thousands of such artworks among public venues in each of the 50 states; the T.W. Wood Gallery is Vermont’s sole official repository. Reginald Marsh, Joseph Stella and Paul Sample are among the better-known names in the show. Others, such as Bucks County,

“BOx HOLDER 27” By FRANCIS SPEIGHT

Sperber’s beguiling thread-spool installations explore the science of optics through a sophisticated merging of advanced digital media and iconic portraits from Western art history. Featuring more than 5,000 spools strung on stainless steel ball chains, the final installation reads more like an abstract arrangement of colors until it is viewed through an acrylic sphere, which inverts the image and organizes the field of colors into a remarkably accurate reproduction of the original artwork. Sperber’s talk is co-sponsored by the UVM Art Department

The exhibition is the best compendium of American work of that era available in the Green Mountain State. Pennsylvania, artist Francis Speight, are wonderful painters but not as critically acclaimed. Speight’s 1938 “Box Holder #27” is a figurative rural genre scene portraying nothing more grandiose than a farm woman checking her mailbox. But the swirling composition focuses on her farmhouse, essentially suggesting that the woman’s world revolves around her home. Among the dozens of other great finds in the Wood show is “Car Stops 6 a.m.” by Southern California painter Millard Sheets. His 1936 Social Realist street scene of female workers, perhaps domestic help, waiting to be picked up to go to work is a great example of the style that dominated WPA programs. Some of the most important Vermont artists in the exhibition, such as Hilda Belcher, are represented with watercolors of village and domestic life as well as landscapes. American painter Stuart Davis

said at the onset of the WPA, “The artists of America do not look upon the art projects as temporary stopgap measures, but see in them the beginning of a new and better day for art in this country.” Unfortunately, that noble, spirited beginning didn’t survive the century. In 1996, a Republican-controlled Congress banned the National Endowment for the Arts from making direct grants to individual visual artists. The notion of purchasing prints and easel paintings, other than those commissioned for specific venues, ended with the WPA itself. The feds also don’t provide funds to maintain the collections delegated to caretaking institutions such as the Wood. That’s one reason why exhibitions such as this one are so rarely mounted. It’s also a reason to support the gallery that’s protecting such an important part of Vermont’s artistic heritage. >

Friends and Students Remember a Poet Writ Large

with Ven Tenzin chogkyi

BY MARGOT HARRISON

Elizabeth Inness-Brown, Sydney Lea, William Marquess and Ghita Orth. Sons David and Matthew Engels offer their recollections in verse and prose, respectively. Acclaimed New York novelist and essayist Judith Kitchen describes the brilliant fly Engels tied for her — illustrated with a color photo. The portrait that emerges is lively and complex. Matthew Engels writes, “Dad was a difficult man to know well. His personality swerved between the contemplative and the outrageous.” St. Mike’s professor Nick Clary recalls poker nights with Engels, who christened himself “Dr. Skill” at the card table. But perhaps most interesting are the essays by Engels’ students, who agree that he was a tough professor — and the kind you don’t forget. John D. Wagner, now a prolific author of how-to books, remembers dubbing Professor Engels the “E-Man,” be-

WORDS

He was a professor famous for not giving As. A poker player who pranked his friends with whoopee cushions. A fly-fisherman, a dad, and a widely published poet who nearly won a Pulitzer. John Engels of Burlington passed away last June at the age of 76. Now the English department at St. Michael’s College, where Engels taught for the past 45 years, has come out with a special issue of its student-edited literary annual, The Onion River Review, devoted to “Remembering John Engels.” In the 144-page paperback, reprinted Engels poems alternate with prose and verse commemorations from his colleagues, family, friends and students of all vintages. Julia Alvarez of Middlebury talks about her friendship with Engels, as do fellow local writers David Huddle, Greg Delanty, T. Alan Broughton, Geof Hewitt,

cause he laid down “august, sweeping judgments” with an Iman’s authority. But, he concludes, “Without John Engels, I would likely be selling used cars or storm windows in northern New Jersey.” And ’06 graduate Molly McGillicuddy quotes Engels’ parting words to her Hemingway seminar: “I wish you all success in your lives. And change your socks regularly.” An unpublished poem, perhaps the last Engels wrote, brings the volume back to seriousness. In typical fashion, it sails from a seemingly banal subject — the poet’s kitchen renovations — into deeper and murkier waters. Even into a prettied-up room, Engels writes, shadows fall: “and then in no time at all it’s dark.” > “Remembering John Engels” can be obtained on campus or for a $3.50 shipping and handling fee from the Saint Michael’s College Bookstore, 866-213-0727.

Curses, Foiled Again A cashier

at a convenience store in Westminster, Md., reported she was robbed by a man wearing an orange bandana but told police she could tell the robber was her boyfriend, Brendon Marshall, 50, by the way he ran from the store. Police who arrested Marshall said he had a large sum of cash equal to the amount taken from the store. • Police received a call from a hotel clerk in Annapolis, Md., that a woman came to the lobby claiming she’d been sexually assaulted. According to The Washington Post, officers who met with the woman, Catherine Anne Delgado, 35, determined her claim was unfounded but during the interview noticed large slabs of fudge bulging out

news quirks of her pants pockets and smudges of fudge on her hands and white blouse. On a hunch, an officer walked to the nearby Uncle Bob’s Fudge Kitchen and found the front door open and halfeaten cookies on the floor. Back at the hotel, a female officer who checked the restroom after Delgado used it found that Delgado had tried to flush so much fudge down the toilet that it clogged. A surveillance video at the fudge shop showed Delgado “just falling all over herself â€? helping herself to the fudge, owner Bob Lawinger said, noting, “she took about 10 pounds of it and ate about a half-pound in the store.â€? • Indian businessman Amarendra Nath

Ghosh, 45, wanted for cheating five Calcutta banks of $6.75 million in 1994 and 1995, eluded capture until 2003, when he was arrested in Germany. When he lost his appeal of the government’s decision to extradite him, he swallowed a 4-inch knife. For the next four years, he refused surgery to remove it, and medics said flying with the metal object lodged in his stomach might prove fatal. In August, however, authorities foiled the scheme by putting Ghosh on a private plane staffed with doctors and returned him to India, with the knife still lodged in his stomach, to face criminal charges.

Species in the News An auc-

tion by conservation groups for naming

by roLANd SWeet rights to 10 newly discovered fish species in eastern Indonesia raised $2,015,000. The proceeds will fund a floating ranger station and educational trips for the region’s children. Prices ranged from $500,000 to name the Hemiscyllium shark from Cendrawasih Bay to $50,000 for the Pseudanthias fairy basslet. Bidders had to pledge they would name the species after people, not corporate entities. The Washington Post reported that selling naming rights is gaining popularity among environmentalists. Two years ago, for instance, the Wildlife Conservation Society raised $650,000 in a one-week Internet auction to name a newly identified Bolivian monkey.

• Highway police arrested two men after a routine traffic stop turned up 250 endangered parrots and 300 parakeets crammed into their sport utility vehicle in Mexico’s Sinaloa state. • Authorities accused Jereme James, 33, of stealing three endangered iguanas from a nature preserve in Fiji and smuggling them into the United States in his prosthetic leg. Prosecutors in Los Angeles said James hid the neon green iguanas in a special compartment he had constructed in his artificial limb.

kins, 17, a senior at Golden Gate High School in Naples, Fla., was suspended for violating the school’s dress code. The policy requires boys to wear long pants or walking shorts and collared or polo shirts that must be tucked in and must be solid white, gray, green, pink or khaki. Perkins wore a jacket and tie to school. “I thought it was better than a polo shirt,� Perkins told the Naples News.

What Could Go Wrong? A town

council in Germany decided the best way to reduce traffic accidents and improve pedestrian safety was to remove all traffic lights and stop signs from the downtown district, which is used by 13,500 cars a day. “Traffic will no longer be dominant,� Mayor Klaus Goedejohann of Bohmte told Reuters, pointing out drivers and pedestrians now enjoy equal rights of way.

Holy Moley A convent in southern Italy is being shut down after its three remaining nuns got into a fistfight.

Sisters Annamaria and Gianbattista, objecting to the authoritarian ways of their mother superior, Sister Liliana, scratched her face and threw her to the ground at Santa Clara convent near Bari. Agence France-Presse reported that Archbishop Giovanni Battista Pichierri tried to make peace but, after deciding the nuns had “clearly lost their religious vocation,� he asked the Vatican for permission to close the convent. Sisters Annamaria and Gianbattista moved out, but Sister Liliana barricaded herself inside and refused to leave.

Last Laugh While Tina Alberts

was under anesthesia having two teeth replaced with implants by her boss, oral surgeon Robert Woo of Auburn, Wash., he first installed temporary bridges he had shaped to look like boar tusks, then took photos of Alberts, some with her eyes propped open. Before she awoke, Woo removed the tusks and put in the proper replacement teeth. He didn’t show Alberts the photos, but staffers gave her copies at a birthday party, causing her to feel so humiliated that she quit and sued her boss. Woo’s insurance company, Fireman’s Fund, refused to cover the claim, so Woo paid Alberts $250,000 and then sued Fireman’s Fund. A King County jury ordered Fireman’s Fund to pay Woo $750,000, plus the out-of-court settlement. Appeals followed, until the state Supreme Court upheld Woo’s award, declaring that the practical joke was an integral, albeit odd, part of the assistant’s dental surgery.

“We are not having this conversation again, Trog. Now get on, I’m driving!”

the straight dope

by CECIL ADAMS

all worthwhile human knowledge

Dear Cecil, I just read in an academic paper (Macintyre and Sooman, Lancet, 1991) that in modern populations, the cuckoldry rate — i.e., the rate at which men are deceived into raising offspring that are genetically not their own — is 10 to 15 percent. This would make genealogy and family reunions a moot point. What’s the straight dope? Curious, via email Cuckoldry: The word alone, conjuring as it does some Chaucerian vignette of a smiling wife and her paramour exchanging sly glances under the witless husband’s nose, pretty well gets across the social baggage attached to this topic. The notion of a guy being so duped has for millennia inspired a potent mix of anxiety (on the part of potential cuckolds) and snickering (on the part of everyone else), and thus any suggestion of the phenomenon’s pervasiveness has always attracted plenty of attention. Perhaps for this reason, some possibly iffy statistics on cuckoldry — or nonpaternity, as the killjoy experts more often call it — have wound up with an outsize place in discussion of the matter. In fact, that’s the real point of the article you read. Sizing up the conventional wisdom on nonpaternity before the advent of widespread DNA testing, the authors find that though societywide nonpaternity rates of 10 percent and higher have routinely been cited in studies and textbooks, these numbers prove to have scant solid data behind them. Among the estimates they found: • More than 30 percent nonpaternity — obtained from a researcher’s remarks at a 1972 symposium on medical ethics, referring to a study (apparently conducted decades earlier in a single English town) that was never completed, much less published; • 20 to 30 percent — from another aging and unpublished UK study; and • 7 to 14 percent — from a 1990 study that relied not on any biology-based testing but on selfreporting by readers of a British women’s magazine on the frequency and timing of their off-the-books intercourse. It’s hard to believe such rickety numbers would’ve featured in the discussion at all if their implications hadn’t been so juicy and there’d been more reliable numbers to focus on instead. Roughly 20 years into the DNA-test era, better paternity data are available and scholars have devised better ways of breaking them down. For a 2006 survey anthropologist Kermyt Anderson took 67 studies that estimated nonpaternity rates and sorted them according to “paternity confidence.” The highconfidence group included, e.g., nonrandom genetics studies of parents and children, which (Anderson

reasoned) families would be unlikely to volunteer for if someone suspected the results might show that dad wasn’t really the kids’ father. In the low-confidence group were straight-up paternity-dispute test data. A third category contained studies from which one couldn’t conclude anything about fathers’ confidence. Seen this way, the numbers yield a pretty convincing pattern. The median nonpaternity rate for the high-confidence group was a not-too-scandalous 1.7 percent, whereas the low-confidence group showed an unsurprisingly high rate of 29.8 percent — about what one might gather from watching a few weeks of Maury Povich. If you combine the first group with the can’t-conclude group, which showed a rate of 16.7 percent, you get a rate of just 3.3 percent for cases that aren’t plainly sketchy enough to warrant a family trip to the DNA lab. While Anderson cautions that there’s currently no way to judge what percentage of total births are low- or high-confidence, and thus what an overall nonpaternity rate might be, he does use figures from a confidence study he conducted in Albuquerque to guess that the rate for that city as a whole would be safely under 4 percent. Such a figure squares a lot better with other recent surveys than those double-digit rates do. In a 2005 paper Australian sociologist Michael Gilding reads available evidence as suggesting a nonpaternity rate for Western countries of between 1 and 3 percent; another comprehensive study of international data agrees we can’t yet draw any conclusions about acrossthe-board rates, but says that minus paternity-dispute cases the overall rate looks to be about 3.7 percent. While papers focusing on specific population segments may be of limited general use due to sample-size issues, some fascinating small-scale research supports the macro findings. For a 2000 study Oxford scientists collected DNA from 48 men with the last name Sykes living in a particular section of northern England. On genotyping the Y chromosomes therein, the boffins found that (a) unexpectedly, there seemed to have been, centuries earlier, a single ür-Sykes with whom 44 percent of the living Sykeses shared a unique string of genetic info, and (b) over 700 years the Sykes nonpaternity rate had been only about 1.3 percent per generation. Now, if one Sykes’ wife got together with another Sykes on the side, any resulting nonpaternity wouldn’t show up here. But assuming women who married Sykeses were neither atypically unadventurous nor surprisingly prone to Sykes-swapping, this too suggests that cuckoldry isn’t nearly the epidemic it’s been made out to be.

VERMONTERS ON THE JOB

ive days a week, you can bet on finding Juanita Koonitsky at Serenity House, a substance-abuse treatment center in Wallingford. While living in Connecticut, Koonitsky struggled with her own addiction to alcohol; she became sober 22 years ago and has been counseling substance abusers nearly ever since. In 2002, the 60year-old grandmother of five moved to Castleton. This August, Juanita Koonitsky she became the first — and only Counselor for problem gamblers — person in Vermont certified by Wallingford the American Compulsive Gambling Counselor Certification Board. That credential has allowed Serenity House — which also operates a halfway house and a residential detox center in Rutland — to expand its services to problem gamblers. It’s a sensible addition, says Koonitsky, who reports that about 25 percent of alcoholics also have a gambling problem. Recently, Seven Days talked straight with Koonitsky about gambling in the Green Mountains. SEVEN DAYS: I understand you’ve been following problem gambling since the 1980s. JUANITA KOONITSKY: Yeah, I got interested when there was all the hoopla in Connecticut about Foxwoods Casino. I’ve never had a gambling problem. I have a couple of good friends who do have a gambling problem. I started going to trainings at Connecticut Valley Hospital, and then came to Vermont and wanted to get my certification. It was tough, because Vermont really doesn’t recognize that they have a problem up here, and there aren’t many trainings you can go to. SD: Before becoming a counselor, did you gamble at all? JK: Oh, I would buy a ticket if I had an extra dollar. One time I even won $4000. Ha! But that didn’t encourage me to buy more tickets. SD: What kinds of problems did your friends have? JK: They still do. One friend probably goes 25 times a year to Foxwoods,

Atlantic City, Reno; she goes on cruises and will spend a good portion of her time at the casinos on the ship. One time she talked me into going to Atlantic City. We walked in; she put a quarter in, she won $250. By the end of the day, she was out that and $250 more. SD: What kinds of problems does Vermont have? JK: The primary one is the instant tickets. There’s a girl who’ll play $400 a week — her whole paycheck, every week, and it’s all the scratch-off. I’ll stop at the store, and the person in front of me will want six of these and 10 of these and 20 of these. And bingo. They have such high stakes, and people have a compulsion that they have to go to Bingo three times a week. SD: How can someone recognize a gambling problem? JK: The easiest is when the house is mortgaged to the hilt and their savings account is depleted. Or with mood changes: if they get upset

because the kids are talking, and the game — baseball, basketball, soccer, football — is starting, and they have money on the game. And teenagers have started to have excessive problems on the Internet. That’s one of the biggest growing gambling populations around, because they have no idea this isn’t play money. SD: What are some of the most unusual things you’ve heard of people betting on? JK: Well, that football player who just got arrested. SD: Michael Vick. Are any weird bets going on in Vermont? Like when the peak foliage will be? JK: I’m sure. They bet on when the ice is going to break in some pond, so I’m sure there are a couple of pools going about the peak foliage. SD: What if my finances are OK; what are other warning signs? JK: Going to pick up 10 scratch tickets, or if you go three times a week to pick the PowerBall. My son always has to get about 20 of whatever the new scratch tickets are. SD: What do you do in a situation like that? JK: First, you tell them that all this money they say is going to education is only after they take their cut [for gambling]. Then you put it before them: “You play three days a week, $20 a day; that’s $60 a week times 52 weeks times — you’ve been playing how long? — six years. What would you have done with that money?” And you’re more likely to get struck by lightning than win big. But, unfortunately, gamblers are like drug addicts: They have an unrealistic outlook on life.

SD: What kinds of questions do you ask problem gamblers? JK: When did they start gambling — two years ago, or when they were a teenager? Generally, men have been gambling a lot longer. Women aren’t as apt to put $5 on a sports game or $10 on the game when they’re teenagers. Usually women are more responsible when they’re younger; they don’t get involved until they are retired, or their husband has left them, or the kids are out of the house — empty-nest syndrome. There was one woman who maxed out 10 credit cards and she was making $150,000 a year, so I’m sure she had $50,000 on each one. She had cleaned out her IRA and all that. SD: How long does the counseling typically take? JK: Usually within six to eight weeks of outpatient counseling, you can pretty much get them started. They have to put together financial sheets and call all their creditors and go through a commercial credit service so they can work out a plan to pay each of their creditors per month. As long as they have access to the money, they’ll keep gambling. SD: And then, no more gambling — no lottery tickets, no Bingo? JK: They can’t even say, “I bet Jack will be late today.” They have to start to change their language. SD: Have you ever been to Vegas? JK: I went to Vegas to get married. I probably gambled a roll of quarters. m Got a comment on this story or ideas for another one? Contact Sarah Tuff at tuff@sevendaysvt.com

ould you take us to the Woolen Mill?” my seatmate politely inquired after he and his two friends in the back had settled into my taxi. “Yup, I sure can,” I replied. “That’s pretty much what I do for a living.” Whatever else they say about me, I mentally congratulated myself, they can’t say I’m not droll. The young man sitting behind me was, like the shotgun-seat speaker, tall and classically good-looking — WASPy handsome à la Robert Redford, but 40 years younger and without the skin problems. The woman in the back was also attractive in a carefree way: She was well but casually dressed, and had long, wavy black hair in the kind of unfussedwith style that only the young can pull off without appearing unkempt. After the two big local colleges, the Woolen Mill may be the single most common taxi destination for nighttime customers — though lately, the Olde Orchard Park apartments behind Cinema 9 in South Burlington have been giving the older Winooski complex some competition.

Whatever else they say about me, i mentally congratulated myself, they can’t say i’m not droll. (Olde Orchard Park. The wordsmith in me cringes every time I see the sign. What’s the point of adding an “e” to the word “old,” if not craven pretension? And that goes double for tagging an extra “pe” to the word “shop.” Note to store owners: The name of your “shoppe” is not the least bit cute or folksy. Sad to say, these are the things that keep me up at night. Global warming pales in comparison.) “Oh, Jesus, I swear I got food poisoning,” the guy in back groaned. “I feel like I wanna friggin’ die.” “C’mon, Ryan,” the woman admonished him. “Quit being a drama queen. You’re not going to die, I promise you. Cowboy up, you wuss.” “Not so fast, Dana,” my seatmate jumped in. “I got food poisoning once. I think it was, like, bad French fries at Jones Beach on Long Island when I was a kid. It’s the worst thing in the world. You go right ahead and whine all you want, Ryan.” “Where are you from, Mr. Cabbie?” Dana asked, bringing me into the conversation. “Well,” I said, glancing at her smiling face in the rear-view mirror, “I’ve been living up here for nearly 30 years, but I grew up in Brooklyn, New York.” I paused for a pregnant three beats, then added, “Fuhgedaboutit.” When

queried about my roots, I always throw in the “fuhgedaboutit.” It’s all part of that drollness. “No kidding!” Dana said. “I grew up in New Jersey, the Garden State, baby!” “Is that so?” I said. “I happen to know the New Jersey alphabet.” “The New Jersey alphabet?” she asked. “What the heck is that?” “Fuckin’ A, fuckin’ B, fuckin’ C, fuckin’ D . . . ” All three of them cracked up, including Ryan, the whiny food poisoning victim, which, given his nausea, I took as an accomplishment. Yes, Pontiac was on a comedic roll. “You don’t have much of a Jersey accent,” I remarked to Dana over my shoulder. “I know,” she replied, “and that’s a funny story. From the time I was, like, very young, my kid brother and I were cared for by a Jamaican nanny. My parents were out working, like, day and night, so mostly we learned to talk from Laticia. Well, we were all ‘mon’ this and 9/17/07 ‘mon’ that. We were little Rasta kids! 2x7.5-MahAyurveda091907.indd 1 This began to freak out our folks, so they actually sent us to speech therapy to learn how to speak ‘correctly.’ I guess it worked, ’cause I don’t have much of any accent now.” “Get up, stand up — stand up for your rights” — I began to sing the classic Bob Marley song. “Right on, brother!” Dana seconded the notion. “Don’t think Laticia wasn’t playing me and my brother those reggae tunes every afternoon before naptime.” We crossed the Winooski Bridge and circumnavigated the roundabout until we reached the right turn to the Woolen Mill. “Upstairs or down?” I asked, indicating the two potential drop-off locations at this complex. “Upstairs’ll be great, man,” my seatmate replied. “Thanks for the ride,” he added, paying the fare and adding a nice, fat tip. “C’mon, sickie,” needled Dana, tugging on Ryan’s arm to urge him out of the •“Fresh” savings – Buy your Pass or Badge by Halloween cab. and SAVE!

f the planet’s natural resources were a chocolate cake, the typical American contractor would have a wicked stomachache. Despite mounting evidence of resource scarcity, commercial STORY buildings consume 70 percent of the MIKE country’s electricity. And an average IVES new residence measures almost 2500 square feet — a 32 percent increase IMAGES since 1976. COURTESY At Yestermorrow Design/Build OF School in Waitsfield, the trend runs YESTER- in the opposite direction. For 27 MORROW years, the school has offered courses based on an experimental aesthetic philosophy. Along the way, it has encouraged generations of builders, planners and jacks-of-all-trades to challenge dominant architectural and spatial paradigms. Now, faced with a skyrocketing enrollment, school administrators are simply trying to fit all the students under one roof. On a recent fall afternoon, a reporter winds down Route 100 South and pulls into Yestermorrow’s gravel parking lot. Inside the main building sits Bob Ferris, 55, who’s been the school’s executive director since last summer. With his flannel shirt, wire-rimmed glasses and trim, gray mustache, Ferris conveys the air of an administrator — he’s a former environmental consultant — but without the rigidity. “If everything goes to hell in a hand basket, then what are we going to build with?” Ferris jokes, stepping outside. “The answer is, we’re going to build with natural materials, and we’ll build locally.” A quick tour of Yestermorrow’s campus offers solid support for that assertion. In addition to a few Hobbit-friendly cabins, Ferris points out a “moldering,” or non-aerobic, toilet, an outdoor solar shower and a stately, wheelchair-accessible tree house. Beyond the parking lot, a gar-

den shed is being built from “cob” — a mixture of mud, straw, clay and sand. Like its neighbors, the shed looks like something out of a nursery rhyme. Indeed, while Ferris insists, “You don’t necessarily have to be frumpy and hirsute-ish to be green,” he concedes that Yestermorrow buildings can be “pretty whimsical.” No kidding: Placed in another context, some of these structures might win prizes in sculpture contests. “I think that most of the architects here have some proclivity for art,” Ferris muses. “One nice thing about cob is that it makes artists out of us all — if you don’t like what you’ve done . . . you can add to or subtract from it.” Looks aside, Yestermorrow has always been structured around one nuts-and-bolts principle. Talking over the clatter of hammers from a nearby carpentry class, Ferris explains that Warren resident John Connell, the school’s founder, envisioned the place as an antidote to perennial “disjunctures” among architects, contractors and builders — the triumvirate that guides any residential construction project. “The core goal of the school was to get those three parties talking together,” Ferris explains. “And to cross-train them.” In its early years, Yestermorrow operated on what Ferris calls an “ad hoc” basis. Some instructors taught out of their garages; all classes focused loosely on the established “design/ build” theme. After the school acquired this Waitsfield site in 1990, its curriculum was divided into three categories: “Whole Buildings and Communities,” “Materials, Methods and Building Systems” and “Architectural Craft and Woodworking.” According to Ferris, the shift reflected a new, countrywide environmental consciousness.

Change didn’t stop there. Between 2001 and 2005, Yestermorrow’s enrollment tripled. It grew by another 38 percent this summer. These days, with an expanded mission and student body, Yestermorrow features a quirky blend of traditional classes — “Joinery,” “Home Design” — and esoteric ones such as “Architecture as Re:Use,” “Timber Framing Outside the Box” and “Permaculture Home and Garden.” So far this year, 4000

people have partaken of the unaccredited school’s offerings, which include one- or two-week workshops and longer “certificate” courses. Still, administrators sometimes have to turn away interested students due to lack of space. “We’re at a point where, in six months, we’re going to have to double the size of the campus,” Ferris notes. With its course offerings that appeal to disparate sensibilities,

"'2!& 2&# 5-0)-32 (-', 2&# . 027 Yestermorrow’s curriculum seems like a blueprint for a polarized clientele. Not so, says Ferris. “I see hunters sitting down with vegans at the dinner table,â€? he observes. The hunters “start coming in here and saying, ‘What’s permaculture?’ I think that’s because people are here to spread their wings and be open — on both sides of the equation. They don’t have to live up to their own façades.â€? Yestermorrow instructor Patti Garbeck agrees. As Ferris returns to his office, Garbeck, 51, supervises a “Basic Carpentryâ€? class. She’s dressed in scruffy jeans, a Yestermorrow baseball cap and neon-orange earplugs. While Garbeck talks, a dreadlocked, twentysomething woman with a nose ring planes a batch of two-by-sixes. “One thing I’ve gotten out of this school is that everything is a design opportunity,â€? the teacher explains, adding that scrap material is often transformed into artful creations. Case in point: A nearby solar water heater was made from stray metal, wood and glass. “People think you did it intentionally,â€? Garbeck concludes with a chuckle. For this self-employed builder from Woodbury, the technical aspect of a Yestermorrow experience isn’t an end in itself. Garbeck stresses, for instance, that in her “Carpentry for Womenâ€? class, students

Just Say

Know Finally, faith-based sex education that doesn’t leave teens groping in the dark story by Ken Picard illustration by Michael Tonn When Jason Gerrard started eighth grade at Edmunds Middle School in Burlington, his formal sex education to that point might have been acquired somewhere between the pharmacy and the produce section of his local supermarket. “It was just your typical demonstration of how to put a condom on a banana. That’s about it,” Gerrard recalls. “All the kids laughed and asked silly questions. It was nothing special.” Apparently, Gerrard’s mother wasn’t much more informative on the subject. “She never wanted to talk to me about sex ed, as I found out not too long ago,” adds the now 17-year-old, a freshman at the University of Vermont. “She said, ‘Jason, there are only three words I have to say to you about your sex life: Use a condom.’” Like millions of other American teens, Gerrard could have gone through his entire secondary education learning nothing about human sexuality beyond some basic anatomy and a few tips for avoiding sexually transmitted diseases. (In many schools across the U.S., even some in Vermont, the official “facts of life” begin and end with the abstinence-until-marriage mantra of “Just say no.”) But then Gerrard’s mother enrolled him in a yearlong, comprehensive sex education class called “Our Whole Lives.” For 28 hour-and-a-half-long sessions, Gerrard received frank, no-nonsense lessons in human sexuality that would make some adults blush. The discussions, films, role-playing exercises and, yes, even overnight sleepovers covered such sensitive and usually taboo topics as abortion, masturbation, sexual fantasies, incest, rape and gender-reassignment surgery. “Our Whole Lives” (OWL) isn’t offered by any Vermont school district, nor will you find it at the state health department, the Red Cross or Planned Parenthood. It’s taught every Sunday morning at the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Burlington. And Sunday school has never been so stimulating. The OWL curriculum was developed nationally by the Unitarian Universalist Association in conjunction with the United Church of Christ. More than a decade and $1 million went into creating the program, which was designed to combat the physical and psychological harm that premature sexual activity can cause, from low selfesteem to STDs to unwanted teen pregnancies. Recognizing that the abstinence-only message leaves young people with too many unanswered questions, OWL provides them with the most powerful tool at their disposal: age-appropriate and fact-based information. Amelia Schlossberg is a 16-year-old junior at Burlington High School who went through OWL at the UU three years ago. She remembers being nervous, confused and more than a little embarrassed about taking sex ed at her church. “There was a lot of laughing and giggling the first day of class. You’re sitting there telling kids, ‘Oh, my gosh! My parents are forcing me to come to this. I can’t believe I’m here!’” she says. “But of course I was curious. I mean, who isn’t at that age?”

The discussions, films, role-playing exercises and, yes, even overnight sleepovers covered such sensitive and usually taboo topics as abortion, masturbation, sexual fantasies, incest, rape and gender-reassignment surgery. One of their first assignments, Schlossberg recalls, was to build a three-dimensional model of human reproductive organs using nothing more than pipe cleaners, cotton balls, toilet paper rolls and tape. At first, she says, the students were too shy to use the proper anatomical names for male and female sex organs. Soon, however, these seventh- and eighth-graders could not just name the body parts but describe their functions. Later that year, the students watched a slide show

depicting people making love. Using realistic drawings, the slides demonstrate in graphic detail how people get it on, whether they’re thin or fat, tall or short, young or old. But as Gerrard points out, “OWL teaches you a lot of life skills that don’t necessarily have to do with physically how you go about your business.” In one role-playing exercise, for instance, the teens picked names of their fellow students out of a hat and then practiced asking each other >> 30A

human form is considered one of the most beautiful creations of nature,� Kowalski told his congregation in May 2005. “You could tell a child that your body is your most precious possession, and that this sculpture was made to teach us that no one’s body should ever be sold or degraded or abused by another person. “But with so many teachable moments,� Kowalski continued, “I’m afraid the governor’s office may have inadvertently sent out a bad lesson for any child old enough to watch the evening news — that breasts are dirty and bodies are nasty . . .� While the story has a 1950s quaintness, Kowalski says it reflects a cultural psyche that’s both obsessed with and deeply repressed about its own sexuality. Fundamentally, there’s no difference between Attorney General John Ashcroft’s spending $8000 on drapes to cover the exposed breast of the “Spirit of Justice� statue in Washington,

Ironically, while federal abstinence-only spending has ballooned in the last six years, a 2006 University of Pennsylvania study revealed that most Americans, regardless of their political view or religious affiliation, say they favor medically accurate and age-appropriate education. That education would include information on

out on dates. The exercise teaches kids how to accept romantic advances, and how to politely decline them. For Schlossberg, what’s particularly memorable about the lesson is that it didn’t assume people only make overtures to the opposite sex. One of the fundamental principles of OWL is that, in keeping with the Unitarian value of respecting diversity, issues such as bisexuality, homosexuality and gender identity are incorporated into the curriculum as normal aspects of human sexuality. “The course really helped me understand all the different kinds of sexual orientation and how deep and spiritual sexuality can be for people,� Gerrard says. Reverend Gary Kowalski is the minister of the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Burlington and was instrumental in bringing OWL to Vermont. These days, Kowalski says he’s become “evangelical�

about promoting comprehensive sex education. OWL, which has been taught at the UU church since 1996 — the Burlington congregation was the first in the country to “field test� the curriculum before its national release — is offered free of charge, to congregants and noncongregants alike, as space allows. “I think that our culture is very conflicted about sex,� Kowalski says. “Most of the values education that young people receive is from the broader culture, where they get these terribly, terribly mixed messages.� In today’s conservative climate, one can find those “mixed messages� emanating from some high offices. In December 2004, Governor Jim Douglas had a historically significant lamp removed from his desk in Montpelier because it depicted a naked woman. The lamp, a replica of the 19th-century statue by Hiram Powers entitled “The Greek Slave,� was an iconic image of the abolitionist movement. But as Jason Gibbs, Douglas’ press spokesman, told the Associated Press at the time, “It may, frankly, be awkward to explain why there is a nude Greek slave on the governor’s desk to a third-grader.� For his part, Kowalski saw that incident as a missed opportunity. “I suppose you might tell an 8-year-old that nudes have been painted and sculpted by artists for hundreds of years because the anatomy of the

D.C., and the flight attendant at Burlington International Airport who kicked a woman off a plane last December for refusing to cover herself while nursing her baby. Such incidents, Kowalski says, reveal a collective dysfunctional attitude toward something as commonplace as the human body.

It’s no coincidence that OWL was launched in 1996, the same year that President Bill Clinton signed into law a welfare-reform bill that included an “abstinence-only� provision. Since then, the federal and state governments have spent more than $1.5 billion on abstinenceonly-until-marriage programs, including $176 million last year alone. Many of these programs teach scientifically flawed, if not outright false, information. In December 2004, Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) pub-

both contraception and abstinence, according to the study. The Bush administration’s emphasis on abstinence-only programs has had some disastrous consequences, such as higher rates of STDs, teen pregnancies and teen births. An eight-year study by researchers at Yale and Columbia Universities found that 88 percent of sexually active teens who took an “abstinence pledge� — a central theme in many faith-based curricula — eventually had intercourse before marriage. Moreover, those pledgers who became sexually active were less likely to use condoms and more likely to experiment with riskier activities such as oral and anal sex than those who didn’t make the pledge. They were just as likely to contract an STD. On the basis of such evidence, in recent years about a >> 32A

half-dozen states have opted out of federal Title V, or abstinenceonly, funding. Vermont is not among them. Last year, Vermont accepted about $66,000 in Title V funds, which required a state match of about $49,000. According to Commissioner Sharon Moffatt at the Vermont Department of Health, that money was spent primarily on media campaigns — TV and radio ads, posters and pamphlets — educating parents of young teens about the links between drug and alcohol use and unintended sexual activity. Though Congress put the brakes on abstinence-only funding last spring, on September 27 it reauthorized Title V funding for another three months. Vermont law does require that students receive a “comprehensive health education� that includes instruction on HIV, other STDs and responsible decision-making surrounding sexual activity. Kate Cassi

like desperate decisions with no other options. “I try to get [students] to understand that a lot of people who say, ‘I would never have an abortion’ — when they find themselves caught in that situation, they feel trapped, just like that guy out West,� Ng explains. “And they may make a decision that they wouldn’t have thought they’d ever do, because they don’t see any other way out.� She adds, “I want students to understand that even if they’re pro-life, there’s more than just the baby who is the victim.� Ng says she also tells students that too much premarital sex can make subsequent relationships falter. That claim, she says, is based on research about oxytocin, a hormone released in the body during an orgasm that purportedly causes couples to bond. Ng’s assertion may be based on statements made by Dr. Eric James Keroack, a Massachusetts

marriage, according to Rice’s principal, Father Bernard Bourgeois. Subjects such as birth control and masturbation are not included in the curriculum, he adds, and any mention of abortion or homosexuality will “follow Catholic teachings to the letter.� That is, they’re both deemed morally wrong. While public schools in the state take a more comprehensive approach to adolescent sex ed, often they’re limited, too — not by religious dictates, but by the difficulty of cramming a lot of information into a small span of classroom time. Mike Brown is a health teacher at BFA-Fairfax. He says that in the past three to five years, the school’s health curriculum has “grown by leaps and bounds.� While he believes the community has been “very supportive,� Brown acknowledges that he has only nine weeks to cover a long list of adolescent health issues, ranging from

O’Neill, the HIV prevention coordinator at the Vermont Department of Education (DOE), explains that the state also provides all school districts with “health education guidelines� to help them create their own course curricula. That said, the DOE does not mandate or endorse a specific sex-education program, nor does it review, monitor or approve of the material students are taught. According to O’Neill, more than half of Vermont’s school districts and supervisory unions teach a locally developed health curriculum — meaning, the material out there can vary widely.

Not surprisingly, local parochial schools have adopted a faith-based approach to teaching human sexuality. For instance, the sex education curriculum at the St. Joseph School in Burlington, which begins in fifth grade, is taught as part of religious instruction and is based on the tenets of the Catholic Church. “We do have an obligation to follow the state’s policies regarding bullying and harassment,� notes Principal Evelyn Rogerson. But when it comes to sexuality, she says, “We talk a little bit about the STDs and that kind of thing, but not a whole lot.� Similarly, students at Rice Memorial High School in South Burlington are taught the basic biology of human sexuality, and the program places a “strong emphasis� on abstinence until

human sexuality to teen suicide, drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders and negative body images. Some public schools, like their parochial counterparts, offer less-than-thorough coverage of the birds and the bees. When Amelia Schlossberg was a sophomore at Burlington High School, an instructor with an abstinence-only approach came to speak to her class. The program, called “W8ng: Because UR Worth It,� is taught by Robin Ng of Hanover, N.H. “She came in and did this two-day presentation that was three hours long, with PowerPoints and all these flashy images,� Schlossberg recalls. “She compared having an abortion to this guy who got his arm stuck under a rock out West and had to saw it off with a dull blade. To me, that was a really bizarre comparison.� Schlossberg, who had already completed the UU’s OWL program by then, admits she found some of the woman’s presentation convincing. “Basically, her overall message is that if you have a lot of sex, it makes you bond less with your partner,� Schlossberg says. “And if you have a lot of sex before marriage, you’re more likely to get a divorce.� Seven Days contacted Ng, who confirmed that her lesson compares getting an abortion to sawing one’s arm off in the wilderness, since both can seem

gynecologist whom Bush appointed deputy assistant secretary for Health and Human Services. According to a November 17, 2006, story in The Boston Globe, “Keroack said teenage sexual activity blunts the brain’s ability to develop emotional relationships.� However, the Globe article also points out that scientists conducting research on oxytocin in rodents describe Keroack’s theory as “an extreme reading of the data.� Finally, Ng was asked what sort of information she imparts to her students about birth control methods. Ng says she tells students that, when it comes to preventing gonorrhea and chlamydia, condoms have a 50 percent failure rate “under reallife conditions.� The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention list the failure rate of male condoms at 2 percent and consider them “highly effective� in preventing the spread of HIV and other STDs — when people know how to use them properly.

Contrary to many of the scare tactics used by abstinenceonly proponents, OWL takes a more “sex-positive� approach to educating teens. According to the OWL “bill of rights,� teens may ask any questions they like about sexuality and discuss any sexual issues that interest them. They can expect to receive full and accurate information and be treated with respect by their instructors. >> 34A

Gaboriault, who spent 10 years working with kids as a social worker in Chittenden County, says one of the guiding principles of OWL is to create a safe space where teens can explore their own attitudes toward sexuality and interpersonal relationships. “You may have a kid seated in the classroom who doesn’t even know he’s gay yet.

dents’ privacy, the OWL classroom at the UU church remains locked all year long; only students and instructors may enter. That said, OWL does not preach a non-judgmental, “anything-goes� attitude toward sexuality, says Diane Freiheit, a Burlington sex therapist and OWL instructor. As she points out, the OWL philosophy recognizes that sex can be used to coerce, control, degrade and exploit people. As a result, the curriculum addresses not just physical safety, such as protecting oneself against rape and sexual assault, but also emotional safety, including maintaining positive body images and understanding the power differentials that can exist in relationships. Simply put, Freiheit says, the emphasis is always on expressing one’s sexuality in healthy and life-affirming ways. But not too early. While it bears scant resemblance to an abstinence-only program, the OWL curriculum for seventh- and eighth-graders remains abstinence-based, in that it strongly discourages teens from having sex prematurely. Moreover, the instructors all say their goal isn’t to usurp the role of parents as primary educators of their kids.

OWL changed his attitudes for the better. “One of the personal choices I made was not to engage in anything close to casual sex,â€? he says. “I now see sex as a spiritual thing and not just a physical thing.â€? Eventually, Kowalski hopes to expand the OWL program at the UU beyond the one course currently offered for middle-schoolers. Elsewhere in the country, Our Whole Lives lives up to its name with curricula that begin when children are in kindergarten; others are designed for adults well into their senior years. And Schlossberg, who just began her junior year at BHS, has moved on from OWL graduate to political advocate. Two weeks ago, she and Leah Marvin-Riley, a fellow OWL grad and student at Essex High School, spent five days in Washington, D.C., lobbying Congress to drop abstinenceonly funding in favor of more comprehensive sex education. Not bad for a young woman who, just three years ago, was too embarrassed to say the word “vaginaâ€? in front of her peers. Is there a spiritual component to OWL? Kowalski believes so. “I think love is spiritual. I think feeling at home in your own body is spiritual,â€? he says. “And I think being able to be intimate with another person, not just physically but emotionally, is spiritual.â€? ďż˝

RACIST RANT Hey! This is to the so-called liberals in Vermont. I’m really getting sick of you rednecks trying to pass yourselves off as nonracists. Stop following me around asking me if I need assistance in your stores. I can fucking read. I go shopping to get what I want, not to browse. Oh, yeah, and fucking Merchants Bank. I go in weekly to deposit or withdraw money and after being a customer for over a year and a half, I’ve got to show ID? Fuck you. You might not wear sheets in Vermont, but there is definitely racism here. So don’t kid yourselves. You are going to run into me when I’m having a bad day and I’m going to really, really embarrass you. I guarantee you will be in tears. Ruel Peterson BURLINGTON

WRONG PRIORITIES I agree with Walter F. Wouk’s letter [“Letters,” October 3] regarding the hoopla surrounding the MoveOn. org ad. What seems to have received little press attention here in Vermont is the fact that two-thirds of our congressional delegates have voted to condemn that ad. Given the amount of time they are spending capitulating to the White House and enabling Bush’s continued thwarting of the law, Congress and American ideals, you would think that Patrick Leahy and Peter Welch wouldn’t have the time to attack the free

speech of private citizens. After all, one of the reasons Welch rejected the impeachment option is that he didn’t want the distraction from doing real lawmaking. But it is nice to know that Welch is willing to go the extra mile to rein in out-of-control left-wingers exercising their Constitutional rights. Steve Zeoli HUBBARDTON

UNUSUAL BIAS I was very disappointed in your coverage of the Intervale compost facility fiasco [“Waste Not,” October 3] by Mike Ives. This type of biased reporting is not something I am used to from Seven Days. Yes, the Intervale composting facility is in its conception an eco-friendly way to recycle waste, but something has gone terribly wrong. The Winooski flows into Lake Champlain — our water source — and the Intervale has become a breadbasket of sorts. Spreading E. coli contaminants and heavy metals on its fields and gardens is not what I would call being “good stewards of the land.” What Mr. Ives did not mention in the article was the high E. coli and heavy metals count in the leech ponds. Where are these known carcinogens coming from, and how dare they and E. coli be spread on the surrounding farms and gardens? Composting can be a problematic business that needs to be regulated. The discussion of whether Judy Dow is an Abenaki Indian

or not is outrageous. Are we not all — regardless of our heritage — stewards of the Earth, and do I have to prove Indian heritage to criticize the Intervale Compost Facility’s practices? We should be thankful that Judy was willing to go to the authorities and the Intervale compost facilities with her observations for both health and historical reasons. Act 250 is in place to protect us, and the land. And, yes, even ecologically friendly businesses need to be kept in check. Kathleen Olwell BURLINGTON

FARMS ARE SACRED I read with interest the issues plaguing the Intervale Compost facility [“Waste Not,” October 3]. I see it as another useless endeavor of a power-hungry individual looking to make her mark. However, the bigger issue — as always — has been overlooked. There is a line in the article that highlights the inability of this state to get its agricultural crisis under control. The Intervale needs to decide if it’s a business or a farm. In the eyes of the powers that be, it can’t be both. Keeping farmers at the edge of collapse on a daily basis is the best way for the rest of society to continue getting cheap food. Intervale is a farm business that supplies much-needed services to area agriculture. Let’s find a way to make it evil. If more farms were run

as businesses, not rights bought by lineage, farmers would be better off in this state. Ask UVM if marketing or business management is in the curriculum for the agriculture Master’s program? Uh, no. If a shoe store owner doesn’t know how to operate within margin, the state doesn’t give two flying cow plops. I am pushing my word limit here, and this is actually a whole other article. Here’s a simple solution for the Intervale: Erect some fencing with Natural Resource Conservation Service dollars and throw 10 black-and-white heifers out there. The state will trip over itself to bail you out of this mess. Angela Maple JOHNSON

TEAM EFFORT I just want to clarify something about the summer camp program held at Barnes Elementary [“Class Dismissed?” September 26]. I did not run this camp alone. “Barnes Summer World Academy” was created through a collaboration of the Sara Holbrook Community Center, Burlington Parks and Recreation and the Burlington School District. Leisa Pollander from SHCC, Maggie Leugers and Dan Cahill from Parks and Rec and myself realized that many children in the Barnes neighborhood did not have anywhere or anything to do during the summer due to a lack of affordable spaces in summer programs. We also learned that

working parents did not enroll their children in the half-day summer school program because there was no safe place to go afterwards. With the help of the Mayor’s Office, the State of Vermont, the Vermont Children’s Trust Fund and many others, we were able to build on the SHCC summer camp program, led by Linda Hamlin for more than 40 years. Restricted by space at SHCC, the program typically maxed out at 36 children. By moving the program to Barnes, we were able to enroll 60 children. We also kept the same SHCC fees: $25 for two weeks of a fun, educational and safe alternative. The “Shelburne Farms Sustainable Schools Program” also trained the summer staff to empower children by learning how to make desired changes in their environment. Parents, children and staff still rave about what a blast camp was! We were out and about every day! Campers were treated to sailing lessons by the Community Sailing Center, swim lessons by the YMCA at North Beach, ECHO passes, UVM tours, which included lunch at the dining hall, a gift from Dean Fayneese Miller, and much more. We look forward to being able to offer this much-needed camp at Barnes for years to come. Sara Martinez de Osaba BURLINGTON

Acting on Hate

Theater preview: The Laramie Project

V STORY

KEVIN J. KELLEY

ermonters who attend performances of The Laramie Project at St. Michael’s College will likely be horrified anew by this dramatization of the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, a young gay man. But even in what Director Peter Harrigan calls “little lefty Vermont,” the play raises disconcerting questions about local homophobia and its potential consequences.

St. Michael’s College is hosting a Theatre & Social Justice Series this fall that includes the following events: Matthew Shepard’s mom, Judy, will give a talk on her son’s legacy on October 25 at 8 p.m. in the McCarthy Arts Center Recital Hall; The Laramie Project, written by Moisés Kaufman and directed by Peter Harrigan, runs October 31 to November 3, 7 p.m., in the McCarthy Arts Center Theater; and on November 3 at 2 p.m. in the Recital Hall, Tracey Tsugawa will moderate a panel on the topic, “From Wyoming to Vermont: How do Bias Incidents and Hate Speech Affect Us in Vermont?” All events are free and open to the public.

“You might go to the show thinking it’s an indictment of Wyoming, but you might come away with the realization that hate is present in every community — that it just escalated in Laramie,” Harrigan says.

2x5-InnerTrad101707.indd 1

Shepard was a 22-year-old student at the University of Wyoming in Laramie when he was severely beaten by two men, allegedly because of his sexual orientation. He was left tied to a fence until discovered by a passerby 18 hours later. Shepard died of head injuries on October 12, 1998, and his two assailants were subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder. Moisés Kaufman, the son of a Holocaust survivor, wrote The Laramie Project with other members of his New York-based Tectonic Theater Project. It’s presented in a documentary style based on news reports and interviews conducted by the troupe in Wyoming. The play premiered in 2000 and has since been performed in theaters and schools all over the country; Kaufman wrote a book, also called The Laramie Project, detailing the interviewers’ experiences in Wyoming. HBO commissioned a video version of the play in 2002. (Kaufman was nominated for a Tony Award for his directing debut, of I Am My Own Wife, in 2004.) Harrigan, a theater professor at St.

Michael’s, says the current staging of The Laramie Project grew out of his interest in “plays that tell stories about divisive issues.� For the students involved in the production, he suggests, the play “can go beyond being a line on a resume and become an experience that can shape their entire lives.� The show may have special resonance for the half-dozen or so actors who are also gay. The full cast consists of 16 student performers in a total of 32 roles. “It’s very empowering for me,� says Kyle McElheney, a sophomore who plays four characters in The Laramie Project. “I also feel completely drained after a rehearsal because the show has so much emotional power and personal meaning.� The murder of Matthew Shepard has even more immediacy for cast member Josh Bardier. He transferred to St. Michael’s this year from Providence College after being beaten by three men who called him “a fag who deserves to die,� he recounts. Bardier was hospitalized with jaw injuries following this attack, which occurred in downtown Providence as he was walking back to his dorm. To Bardier, a particular strength of The Laramie Project is that “it shows something like this can happen anywhere at any time. I never thought I’d be the one it happened to,� he says, “but it only takes a single person acting on hate.� Burlington itself is hardly free of homophobic hatred, Harrigan notes. Two weeks ago, the entrance to the Hunt Middle School in the New North End was spray-painted with antigay slurs and a swastika. And R.U.1.2?, Burlington’s gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community center, has been the target of several acts of vandalism this year, Harrigan points out. He warns that bias of this kind could metastasize and take on even more aggressive forms in the coming months as the Vermont Legislature addresses the issue of gay marriage. Harrigan has direct experience with Vermonters’ attitudes on such matters. He and his partner, Stan Baker, were among the three samesex couples who initiated the 1997 lawsuit that culminated in the legalization of civil unions. Vermont was the first state in the country to extend that right to gays and lesbians. Harrigan recalls those events with a mixture of pride

give permission for the small minority to ratchet it up to the next level. If you don’t intervene in time,” Tsugawa adds, “you do get to a situation that can lead to a Matthew Shepard murder.” Seeing The Laramie Project at the McCarthy Arts Center could make a decisive difference for

and dismay. The debate revealed deep-rooted and widespread prejudices that continue to fester, he says, though Vermont’s tradition of tolerance ultimately prevailed — in the Statehouse, at least. Harrigan believes that ethic of acceptance makes it less likely that a Matthew Shepard-like murder would happen here. But the odds against such an occurrence would be even greater, he says, if well-intentioned Vermonters learn from The Laramie Project that more must be done to combat antigay sentiment in the state. The

play may inspire audience members to ask, “Are they writing letters to the editor, voting in every election, donating time and money to organizations that need help in this area?” Harrigan posits. Tracey Tsugawa, a civil-rights investigator for the Vermont Human Rights Commission, emphasizes the importance of outspoken advocacy. Antigay epithets are common in schools around the state and must not be left unchallenged, she says. “Remaining silent when something like that happens will

some audience members. “The 18-year-olds here probably wouldn’t have been watching the news in 1998,” Harrigan notes. “It’s particularly important to tell the Matthew Shepard story to them.” The play is sure to spark “communication and conversation, which are always good things,” Bardier says. “Maybe it will make some people think what they’re saying when they call someone a homo or a dyke, or when they say, ‘Oh, that’s so gay.’” As an institution, St. Michael’s takes a strong stand against homophobic bias, Harrigan notes. Even though the Catholic Church regards homosexual acts as sinful, administrators at this Catholic

compassionate characters is a Catholic priest.” McElheney, 19, agrees that St. Michael’s practices what it teaches regarding tolerance. He notes that the student government was “110 percent supportive” of his effort earlier this year to strengthen the gay-straight group on campus, formerly known as Ally. Now called Common Ground, the organization has added several active members, McElheney says. Describing himself as a practicing Catholic, McElheney says he has little trouble integrating his religious beliefs and his sexual orientation. “Homosexuality isn’t an everyday topic in the Church,” he says. “It’s not like you’re going to Mass and they’re saying that gays are

truly at home.” Broadening the scope, Harrigan says that “straight America” generally seems more accepting of lesbians and gays today than at the time of Shepard’s murder. “Certainly you can see this in the entertainment media,” he says. Additional evidence includes passage this year by both the U.S. House and Senate of a bill extending federal prosecutions for hate crimes to include acts based on a victim’s actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or disability. Known as the Matthew Shepard Act, the bill may not become law, however: President George W. Bush has threatened a veto on the grounds that the legislation is “unnecessary.” �

ARTWORK Installation by Bong-gi Park

PHOTO Marc Awodey

t’s not unusual for colleges to host visiting artists, but the whole town of White River Junction appears to be hosting South Korean sculptor Bong-gi Park. He’s installed a brilliant, large-scale installation at the Cooler Gallery, and intends to produce two monumental outdoor pieces in and near the village over the next few weeks. Cooler Gallery Director Gaal Shepherd met Park during his 2005 fellowship at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, and she invited him to construct a piece in WRJ. Shepherd also began working on the town permits needed to let him do so. A government grant from his home country enabled Park, 41, to return to Vermont for two months. He’s tirelessly putting that time to good use. The main ingredients of Park’s untitled indoor piece are light, shadow, reflections, water and wood. He began by selecting four birch trees that could be easily toppled with their root balls intact, and then carved the trees into segmented, gracefully twisting forms with a chainsaw. The birches are now hung upside down from the 14-foothigh gallery ceiling. Park’s next step was to fabricate a 5inch-deep pool underneath the hanging trees. Both ceiling and pool bottom are black; the gallery walls are painted white. Twenty-nine thick birch treetrunk slices form stepping-stones around the inner edges of the roughly 20-by-15-foot pool. A carefully placed light illuminates gallery walls with eight

Townspeople gladly approved the plan. Park’s sketches suggest his Vermont works will be just as impressive as projects he’s produced elsewhere around the world. Many of Park’s creations, often simply titled “Breathe,” reflect his environmental concerns. A 2003 piece consisted of a tortoise-shell-like wood-

The main ingredients of Park’s untitled indoor piece are light, shadow, reflections, water and wood. large shadows of the hanging trees, and shimmering reflections appear when the water is stirred. It’s a dramatic, yet meditative, piece. If all goes according to plan, Park’s outdoor artworks will be completed by mid-November. One would be a sizable artificial island on a bank of the White River — right behind the eclectic Main Street Museum. The audacious design calls for dozens of piles to be driven into the streambed and covered with vegetation. In the tradition of many Land Art sculptors, Park uses natural materials — often just wood and soil. In downtown White River Junction, a standing, crescent-shaped piece, also of natural materials, is proposed for the site where a burned-out strip club once stood.

en form nestled in a “den” of twigs, sticks and saplings within a degraded area of a South Korean woodland that had become devoid of wildlife. In 2006, Park melted a 30-foot-long boat-shaped opening in the ice of a broad stream that had been bisected by a road. He laid 12 oars around the boat shape and oriented it in the direction of the stream’s diminished current. Other Land Art sculptures by Park are primarily playful. A “Breathe” piece in Noosa, Australia, was an undulating, ribbon-like dock slung about 50 feet into an estuary over a wooded, tidal beach. A piece sited in Germany called “Neighbor-Breathe,” which appears on Park’s website — user.chol.com/~parkbonggi — is a

wide mound of sticks and saplings. But it has an opening in the shape of a long furrow; in the pictures, children are exploring the mound’s curved interior. Park set branches and small logs perpendicular to the direction of the furrow, and then apparently tunneled through them with a chain saw. The resulting interior walls look like a matrix of wood cross-sections of various sizes. (While this is nearly impossible to explain in words, the curious can check it out at user.chol.com/~parkbonggi/e_ frame.html.) For South Korea’s 2006 Busan International Biannale, Park departed somewhat from his use of natural materials to recreate a group of three “luxury high-rises,” about 10 feet tall, from concrete in a vacant lot near the actual apartment buildings. He’s translated the title of the piece as “A two-picture program,” and photographed it with the real highrises in the background. In what may be a wry comment on those buildings, Park’s façades seem somewhat roughed up and worn. He also filled the structures with dirt — a conscious contrast to the apartments’ well-heeled residents. Considering Park’s Cooler Gallery installation along with his past achievements, it seems likely he’ll pull off his ambitious river piece and in-town sculpture by the time he’s due to leave next month. “Failure” just isn’t in the artist’s limited English vocabulary. m

Montpelier’s Lazy Pear Gallery is currently exhibiting Vermont photographer Wendy James, known for creating images that deceive the eye. This group of photomontages, shot in Italy, echoes the mysterious paintings of Italian surrealist Giorgio de Chirico. James employs similar shifts of scale and perspective while reinterpreting Italy’s Renaissance-era architecture and landscape. Ten photomontages are on display here, along with eight of her bright, lively oil paintings, through October. Pictured: “Reconsider.”

Still Saving the Princess

SUDOKU By Linda Thistle

If Mario’s not careful, he’s going to lose his job. Long Nintendo’s heroic mascot, the smiling erstwhile plumber faces stiff competition for his role from a kid in an elf suit with a sword and a boomerang. Link always receives second billing, while actually starring in the “Legend of Zelda” games. But for a growing number of Nintendo fans, his games, not Mario’s, are the ones that generate the most excitement. With the release of “The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass,” it’s not hard to see why. A skillful update and continuation of Link’s endless saga to save the hapless Princess Zelda, this new DS title tips its hat to the many conventions that made the series famous, while providing yet another massive update in terms of gameplay. Featuring treasure chests scattered throughout countless dungeons, with boomerangs and the smiling merchant Beedle, this game borrows heavily from previous “Zelda” games, most notably “The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.” The cutesy anime graphics and bigeyed, baby-faced Link annoyed fans when “Wind Waker” first took the franchise in a new direction. Longstanding players saw the game’s approach as kid stuff, when they were eager for their favorite hero to grow up. But this particular installment of the “Zelda” series was a needed change, and eventually it was viewed as a positive turn for the series. “PH” would have sold just fine if it merely brought classic “Zelda” adventuring to the DS. Gamers happily would have played through a slightly revamped version of the timeless “Zelda” classic “A Link to the Past.” What they got instead is a game that looks like the same

“The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass” DS Nintendo $34.99 E for everyone

old thing, even though it throws in enough new things to keep the most jaded “Zelda” aficionado entertained. For the first time in the series, the player interacts with everything in the world without buttons. Navigation, combat and other tasks require the stylus and the DS touch screen. Reduced to pocket size, the “Wind Waker”-styled graphics seem less silly and more artful. And where classic settings and items appear, they sport a re-design that makes the same old thing feel fresh. Take, for example, Link’s boomerang. Long a practical tool for light combat, in “PH” it turns into something else. When you draw a line on-screen, Link launches his boomerang, which careens through a physically improbable, but quite satisfying, trajectory. This device is the basis for all kinds of interesting puzzles, and during real-time battles, it quickly turns sketching lines into a

dramatic combat ballet. As with an old pair of boots, you can comfortably slip into Link’s latest quest on the way to exciting new adventures ahead. Who’s It For: If you’ve ever rescued Princess Zelda, then the time has come to strap on your sword and shield again. “The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass” ranks among the best the series has to offer.

theborowitzreport Bush May Lack Gene for Human Speech

A

team of genetic scientists stunned the world today by revealing that President George W. Bush may lack the gene necessary for human speech. The scientists, who had been studying the genetic differences between humans and chimps, made the discovery about the president almost by accident, a spokesman for the group said. “We happened to be looking at the blood work from the president’s recent physical,” said the spokesman, Dr. Alvin Kunen of the University of Minnesota. “We found extremely high potassium levels, indicating a banana-rich diet rarely found in humans.” Prompted by the banana clue, scientists probed the president’s DNA further and found “no evidence” of the gene that enables humans to speak. From the White House, the president had no comment. But even as some in the administration angrily questioned the scientists’‚ findings – arguing that the president often said things – Dr. Kunen said that many nonhuman primates were capable of producing basic, “speech-like” utterances. “In our experiments, we were able to teach a female baboon named Bonny to say such things as ‘tax cut,’ ‘evildoer’ and

‘regime change,’” Dr. Kunen said. “This should not be confused with actual human speech.”

In our experiments, we were able to teach a female baboon named Bonny to say such things as “tax cut,” “evildoer” and “regime change.” Dr. Kunen

In a related finding, the scientists said that former President Bill Clinton possessed an “abnormal double-gene” for human speech, meaning that it was “virtually impossible to get him to shut up.” Clinton’s DNA was culled during his second term in office, when the former president’s genetic material was widely disseminated.

ARIES

(March 21-April 19): In his book The Primary Colors, Alexander Theroux writes that yellow is the color of “early bruises, forbidding skies, dead leaves, dental plaque, foul curtains, speed bumps, and callused feet.” And yet, he muses, yellow is also the color of “the generous sun, butter, candlelight, ripening grain, translucent amber, and spring itself.” I suspect that in the coming week, Aries, you will have encounters with a situation that is as paradoxical as yellow. Whether your experience is more like wrapping yourself in foul curtains or basking in the generous sun may depend largely on whether you summon a determination to see the best in everything.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Speaking on

the authority of the expansive planet Jupiter, I hereby free you from all inferior temptations. In the coming weeks, you will, by cosmic decree, be enticed by only the finest, most uplifting temptations. That doesn’t mean you should automatically succumb to the charms of those temptations. The more important point is that you should allow them to influence you — to change you around every which way. Trust that the impact they have on you, as they invite you to follow them, will inspire you to express yourself more beautifully and upgrade your relationship with yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Last August, a

woman in Pennsylvania experienced a miracle when she cut open an eggplant. The seeds were arrayed in the shape of the word “God.” Felicia Teske regarded it as a divine sign that had been sent to comfort her for some difficulties she had recently experienced. She felt deep gratitude for the gift. Nevertheless, she cooked up the vegetable and served it to her family for dinner, though not before saving a slice that she offered for sale on eBay. I urge you to follow Felicia’s lead in the coming week, Gemini. Magnetize yourself to epiphanies and breakthroughs that will simultaneously feed your soul, your body, and your bank account. 2x2-beadcrazy101707

3:03 PM

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You could be

like a thunderstorm that rejuvenates a parched landscape. At the same time, you have the power to express yourself like a thousand-foot waterfall. Why not take advantage of both these potentials? Be both helpful and charismatic, nurturing and alluring. Be of humble service as you flout your magnificence. This is one of those grace periods when you can do good and look good and feel good. I hereby dub thee the Flow Master.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): For years, rural villagers

in China’s Henan province cooked and ate the giant bones they found buried in the earth. They believed they were ingesting what was left of flying dragons, thereby drawing on the creatures’ healing powers. But a year ago, scientists from the big city informed the villagers that the magic bones were actually the skeletal remains of dinosaurs, not dragons. In the wake of this revelation, some people have stuck to their belief in the curative properties of the bones, while others have decided that they were deluded and moved on. I expect that you will soon come to a comparable fork, Leo: You’ll discover surprising, possibly disruptive information about a source whose energy you’ve drawn on for a long time. Will you leave it behind or will you reinvent your relationship? I don’t know what the right decision is, only that you should trust your own intuition, not anyone else’s.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A study by the University of London’s Institute of Psychiatry concluded that overindulgence in text messaging and emailing typically leads to a ten-point loss in IQ, whereas pot-smoking causes a decline of only four points. You probably won’t have to worry about either of those dangers for a few weeks, though, since you’re entering an astrological phase when your mind will be working more efficiently than usual. In fact, given how smart you’ll just naturally be, you could actually afford to kill off some brain cells. Even if you toke up while texting, your IQ is likely to be above your normal level.

LIbRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In China’s Zhejiang province, many of the cities specialize in making a single product. For example, Datang township manufactures one-third of all the world’s socks. Wenzhou creates 70 percent of the cigarette lighters on the planet, and Songxia has cornered the market on umbrellas, churning out 350 million per year. I’m not necessarily saying that you should copy their approach, Libra. But if you have recently had inklings about cultivating a certain specialty you’d love to pursue with more intensity, the coming weeks will be an ideal time to set that process in motion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Dear Rob: Three

and a half weeks ago, I had a dream that I was an archaeologist excavating hell. I took comfort in the fact that I was just a visitor, not a permanent resident, but my stay there was . . . well, hellish. Whenever I found an interesting artifact buried in the hot dirt, it would spontaneously ignite. I narrowly avoided getting burned again and again. Anyway, my actual waking life has pretty much felt like that ever since the dream. Yesterday, though, I felt the torment lifting. And then last night I dreamed of floating in a fireproof boat along an underground molten river of lava that eventually took me out to a green meadow under blue skies. Whew! -Sizzled Scorpio.” Dear Sizzled: Your journey parallels that of many of your fellow Scorpios. Welcome back from hell!

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): While traveling long distances, birds are constantly napping. They can close one eye at a time, allowing one side of the brain to sleep. I hope you’ll be inspired by their technique in the coming weeks, Sagittarius — not by literally snoozing in mid-air as you soar across abysses during your leaps of faith, of course. Rather, I’m suggesting that you become a master of inducing utter relaxation for brief spells between each of your daring, heart-pounding exploits. Stay poised, good-natured, and full of grace even while you’re in the thick of adventure.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In his book

Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy, religious scholar Mircea Eliade speaks of Qaumaneq, a special capacity that may be magically obtained by Eskimo shamans. It’s “a mysterious light the shaman feels inside his head, an inexplicable searchlight, a luminous fire. It enables him to see in the dark, both literally and metaphorically speaking, even with closed eyes, allowing him to see through darkness and perceive things that are hidden from others.” Even if you’re not an Eskimo shaman, Pisces, you now have the potential to wield a power with resemblances to Qaumaneq.

Michael Clayton HHH

S

lawyers, guns and money Clooney stars in first-time director Tony Gilroy’s legal thriller.

ort of like an Erin Brockovich without the message, comic relief or push-up bras, Michael Clayton hinges on a class-action lawsuit brought against a conglomerate responsible for poisoning hundreds of people. The difference here is that the central figure, a corporate attorney played by George Clooney, works for the firm that represents the multinational giant — not the side trying to slay it. A self-described “janitor,” Clayton doesn’t work in a courtroom. His job is performed behind the scenes. He’s the lawyer other lawyers call when their clients get into messes that need cleaning up. At least, that’s the way things usually work. He finds himself in unfamiliar territory early in the film, when the mess he’s called in to tidy turns out to have been made by a friend who works for the same firm. Tom Wilkinson is typically mesmerizing in the

< film>

role of a senior partner who has snapped after investing six years in the case — only to come across internal documents proving the agro-chemical company knew its product posed a health hazard from the beginning. At a deposition in Milwaukee, where he is supposed to finalize details of a pre-trial settlement, Wilkinson instead tears off his clothes and declares his love for a dumbfounded young plaintiff. His state of mind isn’t helped by the fact that he’s manic-depressive and off his meds. Sydney Pollack plays the boss, who wants Wilkinson muzzled before his antics scuttle a pending merger. Tilda Swinton gives a jittery performance as the head legal counsel for U/North, the company being sued for billions. She’s in line for the top management slot and wants Wilkinson silenced before his attack of conscience can cost the company additional billions and her the promotion of a lifetime. Clooney’s character initially does his best to rein in the loose cannon because it’s his job to protect the firm’s interests. Before long, though, he finds himself doing so because he fears for his friend’s safety. As well he should. The directorial debut of accomplished screenwriter Tony Gilroy (whose credits include all three Bourne pictures), Michael Clayton is equal parts unhurried character study and paranoid legal melodrama. It’s really two very different movies deftly spliced into one, though I have to say I found the plotline in which Swinton’s rather ill-defined char-

acter hires high-tech hit men to be incongruous with the film’s down-to-earth, richly detailed portrait of its title character. Clayton is a man who’s made a mess of his life in many respects and struggles to find the moral courage to clean up his own act. Clooney plays his part beautifully. There’s a haunted look in his eyes, a pallor and fleshiness to his face that lend him a dazed, Dan Rather-ish appearance as he tallies the ways he’s wasted his time and talent — a failed marriage, a failed side business, a gambling addiction and the sacrifice of a once-promising legal career for a gig as a glorified bag man. Everyone in this excellent cast is at the top of his or her game. The same can be said of the talented team that shot, edited and scored the picture. The weak link is the man in charge. Gilroy’s direction has an old-school elegance to it. Ironically, it’s his screenplay that’s the problem. His writing is undermined here by an awkward mixture of hard-nosed realism and comic book nefariousness. I realize the film is a critical darling, but I just didn’t buy the Swinton character or the whole murder-as-legal-maneuver business. It seems like stuff that belongs in a completely different kind of movie, perhaps something more over the top and out there like The Devil’s Advocate, which envisioned Satan as the ultimate attorney (and which Gilroy also wrote). Of course, nobody is buying a ticket to see a Tony Gilroy movie. To the extent that an audience is lining up, it’s to see a George Clooney movie — and that, barring the actor’s occasional Ocean’s lark, is a term that’s become synonymous with thoughtul, topical fare. Think Good Night, and Good Luck. Think Syriana. Think the new documentary Sand and Sorrow. If that’s what you’re seeking in Michael Clayton, you may want to think again. RICK KISONAK

Across the Universe HHH

T

nay, jude Sturgess and Wood take great sons and make them . . . well, not really better in Julie Taymor’s Beatles musical.

here’s nothing quite as depressing as watching a bunch of clean-cut young theater geeks pretend they’re tripping on LSD. The movie version of Hair (1979) had its Disney-fied drug sequences, and so does Across the Universe, which does for the 1960s what Moulin Rouge did for the Belle Epoque: It takes an exciting, gritty era and turns it into a landscape the leading lady can gambol through without mussing her expensive blow-out. But also like Moulin Rouge, this movie wasn’t made by hacks, and its sheer audacity may make it worth seeing. The question is: How much tolerance do you have for a Beatles musical where the hero hails from Liverpool and is named Jude (Jim Sturgess), the heroine is Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), and a girl named Prudence has to be coaxed out of a closet? Director Julie Taymor (Frida, Titus, Broadway’s The Lion King) takes 33 Fab Four songs, recontextualizes them in a love story about the ’60s, and gives them to her young cast to sing. Then she pours on the daring, Day-Glo visuals, with big, Broadway-style numbers alternating with animated sequences and psychedelia. Anyone who’s seen the trailer has already witnessed some of the most striking shots in the movie: the dancers who leap in sync down a bowling alley; the white-robed wraiths who writhe in the sea as the hero sings the title song. Taymor is an artist, and she achieves the sublime trippiness she’s going for in several numbers, such as one where Jude’s avant-garde art project, which involves crushing strawberries on

canvas, merges with TV footage of Vietnam. (Yes, he’s singing “Strawberry Fields.”) The LSD and street- protest sequences feature cameos from the familiar giant stars of Bread and Puppet’s Domestic Resurrection Circus: Taymor, who interned with Peter Schumann’s troupe early in her career, has said in interviews that she “recreated” the puppet designs for the film. But Universe’s generic storyline and literalist approach to the songs pull it down. Even a relatively simple love song like George Harrison’s “Something” outclasses the relationship it illustrates here. (Jude and Lucy hit a rough patch when she thinks she wants a revolution, but otherwise it’s True Love.) The opening of “A Day in the Life” is used for its anthemic punch, but Taymor turns a song about growing numb to the incessant stream of bad and banal news into one about freaking when you read bad news that directly affects you. This script is to the Beatles’ lyrics what Muzak is to their sound: It takes the obvious parts and abandons the rest. Most of the actors are relative unknowns who can sing. Sturgess gives the songs as much depth as his wafer-thin character will allow, and his fellow Brit Joe Anderson, as Lucy’s Ivy League dropout brother, brings a punky kick to tunes such as “Happiness Is a Warm Gun.” As the bobby-soxer turned revolutionary, Wood has a nice singing voice, but when she tells her conservative mother, “We should all be radical!” she sounds as if she’s recommending a new hair gel. For folks young enough to be hearing many of

these songs for the first time, Across the Universe could be a great gateway experience. More jaded viewers may wonder how long it’ll be before we get the Nirvana musical that features a chorus of mental patients droning “Lithium,” or an albino and a biracial character who show up just to lend logic to the lyrics of “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” MARGOT HARRISON

T

he American tapas-bar craze made the term “small plates” a big buzzword. But decades earlier, restaurants across the country were already selling diminutive servings of food to accompany a favorite beverage. And these weren’t little dishes of marinated Manzanilla olives, or slivers of jamon accompanied by a glass of sherry. The restaurants were Chinese, the drink in question was tea, and the food was called “dim sum.” Burlington’s now-defunct Five Spice Café founded and fostered Vermont’s dim-sum tradition. Growing up in the Northeast Kingdom, I recall being carted all the way to Burlington by my city-raised parents for the sole purpose of chowing down dumplings and buns there. After Five Spice went up in flames, Burlington residents mourned the loss of peanut noodles, mock duck and house-smoked salmon. Two local restaurants with completely different vibes have since picked up the dim-sum slack. One is Zen Gardens, a sizeable Chinese restaurant that bills itself as authentic, located just off Shelburne Road near the Palace 9. The other is Tantra, a cozy, mostly Thai downtown establishment with pan-Asian leanings. Traditional dim-sum service calls for waiters to push rolling carts around a banquet hall. Hungry patrons choose from the delectable dishes on display; they’re transferred to the table, and the cart moves on. The best part: You can snag a new round of edibles each time the cart passes. Zen Gardens cuts the carts. A piece of paper, delivered to the table alongside the regular lunch menu, lists the available dim sum. After you’ve indicated your choices,

the server whisks the list away, and the food begins appearing at your table as soon as it’s cooked. Despite the language barrier, I was able to ask the server if it was possible to order the food in “flights.” Never having experienced the restaurant’s dim sum, my companion and I had no idea how many plates of food we’d need. In retrospect, starting with chicken feet was probably a bad idea. We pushed gelatinous, curved poultry toes around on our plates, trying to find the edible shreds among the bones. As a roasted poultry skin enthusiast and a bone-marrow advocate, I’d been convinced that I would enjoy the feet, imagining they’d be deep-fried and crisp. Instead they were mushy, unnaturally red and full of gristly bits. Eventually, we gave up trying to enjoy them, swigged some jasmine tea, and moved on to a more familiar offering: barbecued pork buns. Served in a picturesque bamboo steamer, these were snowy white and fluffy on the outside and filled with sweet ’n’ saucy shredded pork. A dab of spicy Chinese mustard helped to cut the sweetness. Warning: Those who prefer their sugar during dessert would do better with a salty and savory “pork and veggie bun.” I was less impressed with the pork spareribs. Cut into bite-sized pieces, the meat was ultra-tender, but you had to deal with the bone. The pork was piled in the center of the bowl, surrounded by a moat of greasy, black bean-flecked broth. Another miss: shrimp dumplings that tasted more like surimi — the whitefish puree used to make imitation crab — than shrimp. Luckily, two vegetable dishes provided respite.

We were less wild about the lobster balls, which we selected even after the server warned us that some customers don’t appreciate their gelatinous texture. We wouldn’t have minded that, if they’d had enough lobster-y flavor to compensate. Before dessert we ordered one more dish: fried shrimp rolls. Expecting something in

On a sunny Saturday afternoon during its dim-sum service, Tantra was nearly empty. Like Zen Gardens, Tantra doesn’t use a rolling cart for dim sum, at least not on slow days. The dim sum menu, with separate sections for dumplings and buns, fried foods, cold dishes and vegetarian fare, was delivered with a list of specialty drinks. Unlike the Chinese restaurant, this one encouraged us to relax and order one or two dishes at a time, then add more as desired. We began with an expensive serving of “blooming tea.� It arrived in a transparent glass pot filled with hot water, in which a bundle of green tea leaves hung suspended. As the bundle soaked, the tea “petals� began to open, disclosing red and yellow flowers secreted within. Although the spectacle was lovely, the tea looked more exotic than it tasted. There were none of the delicate floral aromas I’d expected. A more potent potable hit the spot. My Siam cosmopolitan consisted of super-smooth Grey Goose vodka, organic cranberry concentrate and tropical lychee juice. Delicious. The first hot dish to arrive contained chunks of salmon adorned with large slivers of ginger, served on an oval bed of peppers and onions, topped with a light sauce. Although the ginger pieces were kind of big, the dish was quite good. Next came a trio of halfmoon-shaped pork and Chinese

the remainder of the sauce from the salmon. We did the same with a sweeter serving of cabbage and chicken dumplings. While waiting for the next wave, we sampled a couple of cold dishes. The house-made cucumber pickles, sans seeds, were refreshing without being puckery. An invigorating plate of kim chi was just fiery enough that we had to eat it in small doses. The Chinese broccoli with brown sauce was excellent, although the sauce was a bit

the style of an egg roll but filled with seafood, I was pleasantly surprised to see a threesome of peeled shrimp with their fat tops wrapped in egg-roll wrappers and fried. These did come with their own, hot ’n’ sweet dipping sauce. The juicy prawns, encased in their crisp, brown flour shells, were perfect. Dessert consisted of coconut sticky rice with a fan of sherbet-orange mango and a sprinkling of black and white sesame seeds. The mango was PHOTO: MaTTHew THOrsen

chive dumplings. The crescents were meaty and vegetal, not greasy. They would have benefited, however, from some kind of dipping sauce. True, there was a bottle of San-J soy sauce on the table — it would have been nicer to serve it in a dish — but we were looking for something a little more subtle. The solution: dragging the dumplings through

In retrospect, starting with chicken feet was probably a bad idea. My dining companion and I pushed gelatinous, curved poultry toes around on our plates, trying to find the edible shreds among the bones. perhaps from a lotus — a lovely presentation. We sampled two desserts: the sesame ball, a glutinous round of deep-fried dough dotted with sesame seeds and filled with a dollop of sweet red-bean paste; and a couple of red-bean buns, made with the same thick dough as the barbecued pork variety. Folks with “texture issues� may want to stay away from the sesame ball. Others will love the novelty.

AS EATS AMHERST. . . “Wings Over . . . .” franchise sWOOps intO BurlingtOn

Amherst, Massachusetts, and Burlington have a lot in common, including hordes of hungry college students. As of last month, they have another similarity: Each town is home to a Bueno Y Sano burrito joint. So it should come as no surprise that another eatery with Amherst origins is popping up in Burlington. Wings Over Burlington will be located in the Blue Mall on Dorset Street. The take-out and delivery joint, slated to open in November, is one of more than 20 “Wings Over . . . .” franchises. According to Zachary Keller, 30, who owns the business with Jennifer DeMaroney, 31, the WOs are famous for their quick delivery, ultrafresh chicken and plethora of sauces, including “mustang” ranch, honey lime and garlic Parmesan, alongside the typical hot stuff. “I’m a picky eater, and I like pretty much every single sauce,” dishes Keller. They’ll also cook up burgers, veggie burgers, fries and ribs. Although Keller and DeMaroney are both locals and UVM grads, they discovered their calling in New York State. “There was a Wings Over Albany that was phenomenal,” raves Keller. Instead of going to med school — he planned to start at UVM in September — Keller opted to become a restaurateur. Plenty of bones in either business. In keeping with the airplane theme, Keller says, the décor is leaning toward “Vermont National Guard stuff.”

with our oven,” says Corkery. Unfortunately, at least one customer with a Saturday reservation was left out in the cold. On her blog, Penelope Wall of Eating Well magazine explains, “We walked up to Church and Main at 8-on-the-dot only to find the dining room completely empty and the lights turned off.” She hadn’t left her phone number when she made the reservation, so the restaurant had no way of getting in touch. Wall and co. had a great meal at Shelburne’s The Bearded Frog instead. But she says of Smokejacks, “I hope I can get in there soon. It’s one of our favorite spots.” Looks like she’ll have to call ahead. According to eyewitnesses, the restaurant has been packed. When Sean Buchanan of Wood Creek Farm in Bridport and Vermont Public Television’s “Feast in the Making” got a call from folks at the Food Network a few weeks ago, he didn’t know how they’d gotten his number, but he knew exactly why they were calling. Rumors had been flying that the cable channel was gonna pit Mark Bove and his old-school lasagna against one made by a celeb chef on “Throwdown with Bobby Flay.” “I had to tell them that everybody knew,” says Buchanan, laughing. Although Flay won the contest with his “rustic, Northern Italian” offering featuring braised, locally raised meats and veggies from Golden Russet Farm in Shoreham, Bove’s Neapolitan-style dish was a big hit, too. “When you close your eyes and imagine what Little Italy lasagna would taste like, that was it . . . it melted in your mouth,” Buchanan explains. It’s no wonder that a bunch of Food Network staffers stocked up on the leftovers. Says the business-savvy Buchanan, “I don’t necessarily know if the Boves really understand what’s going to happen when the show [airs].” He believes an appearance on “Throwdown” could increase business “10- to 20-fold.” “They’re going to be the next Newman’s Own,” he predicts.

BIRD FOOD phOenix features fictiOn and fOOd

Patrons of big bookstores such as Borders and Barnes & Noble can almost always get a jolt of java or down a Danish between the bestsellers. But local indie shops don’t typically go the refreshment route. Phoenix Books in the Essex Shoppes and Cinema plaza is going one step further. Its café will pour portions of Hemingway’s helper and Faulkner’s friend: alcohol. After passing an inspection by the Department of Health, “we’re permitted as a 25-seat cafe,” explains co-owner Michael DeSanto. There’ll be food, too. “In the morning, we’ll be offering pastries from a local bakery,” DeSanto says. Light fare, such as Vermont artisan cheese plates and veggie assortments with fresh dips, will come from nearby Sweet Clover Market. “At this point, everything is going to be prepared and cold,” DeSanto asserts. “If it looks like a soup or chili is going to work in winter, Sweet Clover will do that, too . . . We really think this is kind of a unique and special partnership between the two companies,” he posits. Look for local products — except on the wine list. “Right now we have seven proposed wines,” DeSanto says, noting that the selections will change regularly. The current vini varieties hail from California, Germany and Italy. And, while they’re not on the calendar yet, wine and food pairings are in the works. Coffee? The Phoenix’s barista hasn’t yet settled on a house brand, but plans to soon. Stop in through Friday for a free cup of espresso.

In other Food Network news, Colchester resident and competitive BBQer Rob Mongeon showed up last night on “The National Chicken Cook-Off.” One of 51 competitors, Mongeon was profiled extensively on the show, an honor reserved for a select few. Unfortunately, his Caribbean chicken medallions with baked plantains and mango sauce didn’t win a prize. The recipe is available on the Food Network website.

The wait seemed eternal, but on Sunday, October 7, Smokejacks quietly opened its doors after a two-month hiatus in the wake of a fire. “There’s a fresh coat of paint on the walls, and the banquettes have been re-upholstered,” explains Dining Room Manager Bridget Corkery. The place has some funky new barstools, too. Aficionados need not worry. Beloved dishes such as the sweet potato soup, “big bold” burger and seared yellow-fin tuna with cucumber noodles are still on the menu. There are a few cozy new items, too, as befits the advent of autumnal weather: a turkey-based “sloppy Jack,” Misty Knoll chicken ’n’ dumplings and a New Zealand cockle bake. The original plan was to re-open on Saturday night, but it didn’t work out. “We had problems

Chef Michael Kloeti of Michael’s on the Hill in Waterbury knows his way around lamb, chicken and beef, but what about bear? A couple of weeks ago, staffers were surprised to find a large cub hanging out in a tree that overlooks the restaurant’s parking lot. They dubbed him “Yogi.” After contacting the Vermont Department of Wildlife, the Kloetis blocked off a portion of their parking lot and hung signs reminding patrons that bears may look cute and cuddly, but even the little ones can be quite dangerous. The next morning, Yogi was gone. — SUZAnnE PODHAIZER

he Busy Chef ’s clientele reveals an interesting phenomenon: People who are willing to put considerable labor into a big family dinner may feel strange doing the same for just one or two. When it comes to cooking, everyone likes adding a pinch of spice, but it’s the hours of prep work that’ll kill you. Many harried people opt to eat out just to avoid the skillet and cutting board. Still, there’s something impersonal about take-out containers — and when you’ve invited a date to dinner, they can be downright embarrassing. What if you could skip to the fun stages of food production: Eat your beef Wellington and assemble it, too? Since 2005, northern Vermonters have found that sort of option at The Busy Chef, located in a strip mall on Susie Wilson Road in Essex Junction. Owner Cindy McKinstrie conceived the business as an alternative to endless take-out or nutritionally poor “kid-friendly” restaurants for what she calls “the dual-working family.” The concept is simple: McKinstrie concocts monthly menus, each complete with 12 seasonal main courses, and preps all the required ingredients. Patrons show up, throw meals together on-site, tote them home and toss them in the freezer. McKinstrie, a 53-year-old mother of three who has been in and out of the food industry since the tender age of 14, says one of her main aims is getting folks to dine with their loved ones. Ironically, The Busy Chef hasn’t been a big hit with families — or with people who want a hands-on experience with their foodstuffs. But it’s found a profitable niche in two different demographics: singletons and emptynesters, both full of people eager for what McKinstrie describes as “restaurant-quality food without the tax and the tip.” Venturing into The Busy Chef is like arriving at a sizeable buffet between meals. Stainless-steel “prep stations,” currently filled with the autumnal components of October’s menu, run down the middle of the room, which is separated from the open kitchen by a demi-wall. Beneath the shiny lids reside rows of plastic bins full of items such as caramelized onions, raw chicken legs and apple cider sauce, dotted by the protruding handles of stainless-steel measuring spoons and

cups. Drink coolers and a freezer stocked with Island Homemade ice creams and sorbets hum quietly along the walls near the cash register. Another wall bears metal metro racks stocked with spice jars, kitchen gadgets and paper products. On a recent Thursday afternoon, McKinstrie, dressed casually in a cheerful red shirt and black pants, with wisps of hair peeking from under a matching

McKinstrie says Vermonters haven’t been jumping at the chance to mix up ingredients and ladle out sauces themselves. So she makes sure “you can pick and choose how involved you want to be.” For a $2 surcharge per meal, McKinstrie will do the food packaging, a service she says 80 to 90 percent of her customers request. All she needs is two-day notice, given via phone or Internet, but last-

skullcap, hangs out in the back kitchen with her son, a TBC employee. They are chopping and cooking the ingredients that will be used for the next day’s meals. When a customer enters, McKinstrie walks out to greet her, ready to explain how it all works. But most regulars, and even newcomers, don’t need much instruction: They’re not here to get their hands dirty. Though semi-DIY food businesses have been a hit across the country,

minute shoppers can make good use of McKinstrie’s freezer full of grab-and-go items, such as smoked trout and corn quiche, barbecued beef and duck confit crepes. Or they can choose from the offerings of Anything’s Pastable, which shares TBC’s kitchen. Ellen Hagman typically makes about six meals at TBC per month, stocking up on a few extras from the freezer. The empty-nester says she’s one of the few customers who prefer

Fuss is an especially big issue for single gal Ellen Goodman, an employee of the Champlain Radio Group who is currently recovering from surgery. “I’m kind of limited in the amount of driving I can do,” she says. “[McKinstrie] was the perfect answer in terms of picking up a bunch of meals and having lots of wonderful food, but not doing all the work involved.” Even when mobility isn’t a problem, Goodman notes, “It’s a treat for me to have a wonderful meal, ’cause when you live alone, you don’t cook for yourself like that. It’s like a gift.” The Busy Chef’s clientele reveals an interesting phenomenon: People who are willing to put considerable labor into a big family dinner may feel strange doing the same for just one or two. Case in point: Julie Wick is an accomplished cook, but these days she feels comfortable letting someone else grate the ginger and sauté the shallots. When she was raising her family, “We sat down to dinner almost every single day. I was a complex cook. I used lots of herbs and spices,” recalls Wick, who puts three or four TBC meals on the table each week. But cooking that way for two seemed like a hassle, and now Wick likes to bring home McKinstrie’s Jamaican chicken or barbecued beef. “The meals really are gourmet; they do have all of those interesting ingredients and creative presentations,” she says. These are customers who know enough about food to care where its “interesting ingredients” come from. Many of McKinstrie’s arrive via Squash Valley, because “they’re the ones who can get me local when it’s available,” she says. Meats are delivered “fresh, straight from the farm” — Laplatte River An-

the DIY option. “It’s really the best way,” she explains. “If there’s something you’d prefer to leave out, you can do that and add more of another thing. You can put in more of a spice or less of a spice.” When Hagman’s in a rush, though, she’s not averse to letting McKinstrie do the work. “It’s like a godsend if you’re working, or even just from the relentlessness of coming up with food every night,” she sighs. McKinstrie says customers like Hagman “like great food and they’re tired of cooking. They’ve done it for 40 years. People are like, ‘I still want to smell the cooking in my house,’ but they don’t want to go through the fuss of it.”

Putting the Busy Chef to Work

What is “cooking” at The Busy Chef like? To find out, I made shepherd’s pie, carefully following instructions on a laminated card at one of the 12 prep stations. First, I propped a large Ziploc freezer bag inside a tall metal container, tucking the top over its sides to hold the bag open. As I prepared to stick a long-handled metal measuring cup into a vat of shredded, braised beef, McKinstrie politely asked me, as she does all customers, to make sure my scoops were level — premium ingredients often tempt people to do a little cheating, which would lead to higher prices. I began dropping measured portions of veggies on the meat, layering $ 1/piece M-Thu, 11:30-2 carrots, soybeans, onions and mushrooms. While the mushrooms and (dine-in only) carrots were easy to scoop, the still-frozen soybeans skittered around in their container. After ladling in a couple of cups of house-made beef jus, I was ready to zip the bag. A second one quickly filled with a mixture of mashed potatoes and Fine Dining, Authentic Taste & Affordable Prices • 2 Church Street, Burlington • 863-1988 grated Grafton cheddar. McKinstrie helped me squish the air from both bags. “Give ’em some love,” she said, hugging them to her body and mashing the two sides of the zipper together.

The top wasn’t yet brown, so I amended the instructions and broiled the casserole till it was. Once I’d added lots of salt, the pie was delicious.

A small shepherd’s pie (serving two to three) costs $24, and a large portion (serving four to six) will run you $46. While that’s still a good value compared with a restaurant, some 2x3-bigfattys100307.indd 1 10/1/07 2:56:38 PM may balk at throwing down nearly $50 for a down-home, country-style casserole.

BURLINGTON BACCHANALIA

Who doesn’t love a good orgy? Uh . . . I mean . . . um, is it getting warm in here? According to the press release for their upcoming show at Higher Ground, an evening with San Francisco’s unparalleled party people, Bassnectar, is “a modern-day social mosh pit of head-nodders and head-bangers, freaks and ex-ravers, hippies and hipsters, dub reggae heads, artists, fashion experimentalists, social activists and hip-hop enthusiasts, all packed into one steamy room of grinding, orgiastic expression and musical experimentation known as a bass ritual.� Kind of sounds like a John Cameron Mitchell film, no? Illicit innuendo aside, the project is the amorphous brainchild of inimitable Bay City DJ/producer Lorin Ashton and has developed a rabid national cult following by fusing elements of mid-tempo break beats, big beat, old-school hiphop and dub, drum-and-bass, glitch, IDM, electronica, death metal, grind-core, punk rock, alternative, folk, swing and jazz. And “sampling anything from the human history of sound and music.� Wow. I don’t even know what half of that stuff is. But it sounds like the ultimate musical casserole . . . with sex! Check ’em out for yourself this Friday at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge with support from two local partyjumpin’ wheel-spinners, DJ Haitian and djk.

LOCO MOTION Speaking of musical debauchery, it appears that Australia’s favorite heavy-metal convicts, Led LO/CO, are on prison release again. I know it’s been a while, but really, the penal system Down Under must be pretty lax for the number of times these drunken asses have been paroled. Whatever. I’m just glad they’re back. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the group, picture Spinal Tap playing nothing but AC/DC and Led Zeppelin tunes — spot-on and totally wasted. I think you get the idea. Honestly, drummer Waldo Smileton, bassist Preston Smalley, guitarist/vocalist Ivernall Peters and didgeridoo master Smithers Smithey comprise the most ass-kickin’, cock-rockin’ tribute band this side of Guns N’ Roses acolytes Paradise City, and put on one of the most raucous live shows you’ll ever see. To borrow a line from Tenacious D, “Caution: The Surgeon General of Rock warns that viewing this band is equal to 29 orgasms.� Sounds about right to me. See for yourself this Saturday as the band takes over Nectar’s for an evening of unbridled, guitar-wanking gluttony.

BY DAN BOLLES

PEACE! AMERICAN STYLE Few institutions in the canon of American songwriting are more compelling than the peace, or protest, song. From the clever ramblings of Woody Guthrie to the poetic condemnations of Vietnam Warera tunesmiths Phil Ochs, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez to more contemporary guardians of truth such as Bruce Springsteen, songs calling for humanistic solutions to violent conflict have a proud, storied tradition that began even before the dawn of pop music. Competition has equally deep roots in the psyche of American culture. For better or worse, it drives us economically, intellectually and artistically. Is there any more quintessentially American phenomenon than “American Idol�? (Well, OK, the show is a rip-off of the U.K.’s “Pop Idol,� but still . . .) What happens, then, when you combine the purity and passion of the traditional American peace song with a talBASSNECTAR ent show? I don’t know, and I’m not sure I want to find out.

But those with stronger stomachs for such contradictory concepts can discover the answer at Montpelier’s Langdon Street CafĂŠ next Wednesday, October 24, when the cozy capital city coffee shop hosts the 2007 Vermont Peace Song Contest. Sponsored by central Vermont’s Onion River Community Access Media (ORCA), the event will be hosted by local storyteller Peter Burns and recorded for public-access television. According to ORCA’s website, “It’s all about ‘sing-along-ability’ and whether your song can rival those of the Sixties.â€? Hmm . . . color me suspicious. It’s not that I question whether local songwriters can match the lofty standards of their forebears — many of them can, and do. And I don’t necessarily have a big problem with artists offering their work for competitive critique — though how you judge the quality of one peace song over another is beyond me. There’s just something about combining the two ideas that strikes me as disingenuous. To put it in bumper-sticker terms: Sing for peace, not prizes! Anyway, those who are interested in performing can find registration forms, performer releases and contest rules at www.orcamedia.net. Rules for peace songs? When will they ever learn, indeed.

ORRRRR . . . Those who prefer their activism without the Simon Cowell treatment would do well to find themselves at Club Metronome this Friday as the Vermont Workers Center and Iraq Veterans Against the War co-present “Another World Is Possible.� The show features performances by local rock legionnaires Workingman’s Army and rebel-folk turntable terrorists Second Agenda, along with a brief talk by IVAW member Matt Howard. The Vermont Workers Center is a member-run organization committed to advocating for workers’ rights and livable wages and working conditions for all Vermonters. Do you think Sen. Bernie Sanders is down with these folks? Since he’s scheduled to speak at the event, I’m guessing the answer is yes. If you’re not familiar with Iraq Veterans Against the War, you really need to read this paper more often. Dedicated to giving voice to the concerns of the people who stand to lose the most by continuing our ill-advised course in Iraq — that would be the soldiers — IVAW aims to educate the public about the realities of our government’s Middle East morass. You can tune into any mass-media outlet and accept what airbrushed talking heads tell you about the war as gospel. Or you can listen to the folks who’ve actually been there. I recently had an opportunity to hear Matt Howard speak about his Iraq experience at the release party for Wyld Stallions Records’ latest compilation, A Line in the Sand, and never has the gravity of the situation hit me so forcefully. Howard is the under-card at this event, but I’m guessing his will be the most powerful performance of the night. If only we had some way to judge . . .

reviewthis PRETTY & NICE, BLUE & BLUE EP (Self-released, CD)

When is it too soon to release a remix record? For Trent Reznor — a dude who drops remixes like Verizon drops calls — the answer is never. But what about unsigned indie acts such as Pretty & Nice, who have but one EP to their credit? Considering the feisty goodness found on their latest shortplayer, Blue & Blue, now is as fine a time as any. Readers may recall the overwhelmingly positive review I gave of P&N’s debut, Pink & Blue. That effort provides the sonic springboard for several of these “new” numbers. But if it weren’t for the shared titles, you’d be hard pressed to recognize ’em. This is, of course, in keeping with remix tradition. At this relatively early point in their career, Pretty & Nice are already one of the finest unsigned pop acts around. And who needs labels these days, anyway? Certainly not Reznor, who cut himself loose from his corporate overlords just last week. Of course, he has had the benefit of nearly two decades of industry support. Give P&N a little time to catch up. Local music aficionados are already familiar with the band’s musical credentials, namely, energetic guitar-rock that sounds like Gang of Four and early Joe Jackson doing battle with a colossal Japanese robot. The rest of the world will catch their drift eventually. Insouciant, fidgety, and with pop chops to burn, P&N seem destined to leave a fresh welt on rock ’n’ roll’s well-scarred hide. The disc opens with “Pretty Shells,” one of two brand-new, un-remixed cuts on the EP. Built on a scrunchy drumbeat, the song recalls electro-indie-rock alchemists Braniac, a little-known act that broke up due to the tragic death of its leader. P&N ably continue that band’s biomechanical approach to pop, with catchy falsetto vocals and shock-the-system guitar action. “Grab Your Nets” is another new one, with a killer speed-surf intro and a Buzzcocks-worthy chorus. From there, the EP drops into remix mode, with a shuddering take on “Gramophone,” a song I’d previously likened to something from the Dischord Records canon. Well, that’s hardly the case now, as this version sounds like a swinger’s resort on the moon. “Fortress” is retrofitted with a club-ready bass line and disco handclaps. If the intro seems silly, wait until the part where an indistinguishable vocal sample rapidly ping-pongs from speaker to speaker. I think I actually LOL’d, as the kids might say. Also transmogrified is “Speedboats,” which is reborn as a dub-house confection, while Pink & Blue standout “Research & Development” is given the glitch treatment. They managed to preserve the song’s sinuous guitar lines, however, which lend stateliness to the digital fuckery. Blue & Blue may “only” be a remix EP, but it requires no justification beyond its own excellence. My sole complaint is that now I want more. CASEY RAE-HUNTER

THE NIGHTBIRDS, THE NIGHTBIRDS EP (Self-released, CD) Oh, to be young and talented! With determination, hard work and a little bit of luck, the world opens before you like a Choose Your Own Adventure novel. To open the door on your left and find fame and fortune, turn to page 24. To open the door to your right and flame out, never achieving your full potential, turn to page 37. The power of choice can be a scary proposition when you’re young and talented — or so I’m told. And the mere prospect of having potential and trying to live up to it can be crippling. As such, some folks simply choose a lesser-known third option: closing the book altogether. With their self-titled debut EP, local rock trio The Nightbirds display a remarkable degree of youthful potential. Though rough around the edges, the disc showcases the burgeoning talents of songwriter Brendan Shinosky, whose heartrending lyricism is outstripped only by his emotive — and occasionally overwrought — vocal delivery. A while back, I caught the band in the intimate confines of Radio Bean and was immediately struck by Shinosky’s aching tenor. His voice is simply gorgeous. But deciphering his words in a live setting is tantamount to transcribing a conversation with Keith Richards over a fast-food drive-thru speaker. Enunciate, man. Back to the point, my overall impression of the band that night was that they were a young group with latent ability yet to be fully mined. Their new disc confirms that suspicion. The EP gets off to a shaky start. Album opener “The White Light” eventually settles in, but not before stumbling through a painfully disjointed intro in which Seth Gunderson’s drums never fully lock in with Jimmy Ladd’s driving guitar line. When everything finally does come together, the result is akin to a B-side from Ryan Adams’ Love Is Hell — Volume 1 or 2, take your pick. In fact, Adams’ self-destructive melodramatic mope-fest may well have served as a template for this entire recording. As on Love Is Hell, the contrived histrionics here are offset by moments of near brilliance. The disc’s second cut, “Nightmares,” and its fifth and final track, “City of Lights,” are telling examples of just what sort of music Shinosky is ultimately capable of producing. Impassioned but restrained, the singer shows reserve that could serve him well in the future — if not on the EP’s other three tracks. Loaded with potential, The Nightbirds are at the beginning of their story, and I imagine it will be a while before they’re forced to choose between the aforementioned pages 24 and 37. Here’s hoping they won’t choose option three before then. DAN BOLLES

Close Up the Honky-Tonk? Not a Chance Starline Rhythm Boys make it a two-fer — live recording weekend BY DAN BOLLES

A

h, summer in Vermont. Rest and relaxation. Camping trips. Barbecues. Languid afternoons at the swimming hole. We take our brief summer seriously in these parts because we earn it, dammit. But for some folks, the season spells work, and lots of it. In summer 2007, few people in the Green Mountain State were busier than the Starline Rhythm Boys — they average 150 shows per year. This weekend, the band is busy rustling up a live recording, over two nights at that inestimable honky-tonk, Charlie-O’s in Montpelier. The reigning kings of Vermont’s country and rockabilly scene, Danny Coane, Billy Bratcher and Big Al Lemery reached new heights this year with the release of their wildly successful album, Red’s Place. Reviewing it on these very pages, Casey Rae-Hunter had this to say: “Somehow it all sounds effortless, as if they’d been cryogenically frozen in 1945 and thawed out to save humankind. Or at least keep music honest.� Seven Days’ former music editor wasn’t the only one to take notice: Red’s Place has maintained a lofty perch on one of the only American music charts that really matters: Freeform American Roots (FAR), which monitors the playlists of Americana radio programs across the country. Starline’s disc debuted at lucky number 13 in July, alongside such notable company as Steve Earle and Merle Haggard. In August, the CD assumed the chart’s top spot. It’s still there. I wonder how Dwight Yoakam, Emmylou Harris and Jim Lauderdale feel about looking up-chart to the Vermont sensations? Not to

jinx them, but SRB’s last album, Honky Tonk Livin’, garnered the 2002 FAR Album of the Year Award. With that sort of success, most bands would be content to sit back, throw on a comfy sweater, and wait for winter to set in. But Starline are not most bands. This Friday and Saturday, the ’tonkers will hole up at Charlie O’s to record a live album for their new label, Cow Island Records. Which, incidentally, is also releasing a special SRB “Best Of� collection on 12-inch vinyl just in time for Christmas. As they do with all their projects, Starline are pulling out all the stops for their first-ever live record, slated for a spring ’08 release. Venerable studio whiz Chuck Eller will handle engineering duties, while Sean Mencher — longtime SRB producer and former member of the renowned rockabilly trio High Noon —will contribute his expertise and maybe a nifty guitar lick or two. Saratoga Springs-based pedal steel player Kevin Maul will add that highlonesome country sound. Starline’s wide selection of music will include a healthy mix of covers and originals. You might hear “Folsom Prison Blues� on either night. But don’t expect the Johnny Cash classic to show up on the record. Rather, the group will focus on a slew of obscure cover tunes culled from their encyclopedic knowledge of all things rockabilly. The goal is to produce a recording that accurately reflects the atmosphere of a Starline Rhythm Boys show, and the band has its bases covered. All that’s left is you. The quality of a live album is nearly as dependent on audience enthusiasm as is the performance of the band itself. As such, Charlie

O’s was SRB’s obvious choice to record the new release. If you’ve never been there, now would be a good time to go. From the surly bar staff to the obligatory kooky crap on the walls, no joint in Vermont brims with such authentic Americana kitsch as the second-floor dive on Montpeculiar’s main drag. Order the

It has to be hard to be a reggae-rock band. The concept of fusing island grooves

with American backbeats is hardly novel, and finding ways to push the envelope within the genre is a tricky proposition. Inevitably, hybrid acts will cite reggae stalwarts such as Bob Marley and Spearhead as influences, and then promptly disappear into an aural abyss of bands that, frankly, kind of sound the same. Enter Burlington’s

Pulse Prophets.

Drawing inspiration from traditional reggae as well as eclectic outfits such as Talking Heads, the group puts a fresh “higher consciousness� spin on the concept of genre fusion. Elevate your mind and shake your behind this Wednesday, October 17, at Nectar’s with local rock outfit Aimless Drifters.

muse music Like her fellow multi-platinum recording artist Enya, Loreena McKennitt specializes in breathy, Celtic-influenced ballads. But McKennitt’s 1997 album The Book of Secrets suggests her songwriting leans in a more, well, literary direction. (Texts she’s set to music include Prospero’s last speech from The Tempest and a poem by William Butler Yeats.) The Canadian singer, composer, harpist and pianist writes, produces and manages her own material through her Ontario-based record company. Last spring she released An Ancient Muse, her second album in 10 years, which sounds like a travelogue of the Mediterranean and beyond — assuming one went a-journeying centuries ago. McKennitt croons samples of her self-described “musical travel writing,” from Mongolia to the ancient Byzantine Empire, backed by an eight-piece band of international instrumentalists on oud, lyra, kanoun and nyckelharpa.

scene@ VERMONT YOUTH CONSERVATION CORPS FUNDRAISER WEST MONITOR BARN, RICHMOND, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 5-11 P.M.

pHoTo: maTTHew THorsen

Setting aside Vermont’s round barns, the West Monitor Barn in Richmond is surely the state’s loveliest, its raised central portion of roof — the monitor — elegantly backed by rolling hills. The Vermont Youth Conservation Corps restored the stately but ailing, century-old structure and then moved in two years ago. Since then, the environmental and conservation training nonprofit, which has employed 16- to 24-year-olds since 1985, has been able to do more watershedseeding, bridge-building and trail-resurfacing than ever before. Saturday night’s shindig was the VYCC’s second annual “Denim & Diamonds” fundraiser in support of these efforts. The event accommodated Vermonters’ preference for dressing down but provided plenty of opportunities to show off one’s carats — or, more often, costume jewelry — while bending over a silent-auction bidding sheet or stacking up plastic gambling chips. The event was sold out, prompting President Thomas Hark in his welcome address to proclaim himself delighted that Vermont’s best-kept secret, the VYCC, was now out. Dinner was prefaced by a slide show of smiling young faces and participant testimonials about hauling staggering amounts of construction materials, forming lifelong friendships, and — the VYCC theme — learning to take responsibility for all one’s actions. All of which seemed somewhat at odds with the evening’s focus on gambling. After passing around the baked pumpkins filled with creamed root vegetables, guests scattered, either to the dance floor, where the Chrome Cowboys had begun strumming, or the craps, roulette and blackjack tables to spend the fake $50 bill inserted into each menu. Our blackjack dealer, a twentysomething VYCC participant, admitted she didn’t know much about the rules. Such skills aren’t exactly necessary to clear brush for the Cross Vermont Trail, an alternativetransportation route the youth organization is building from Burlington to Newbury. That’s just one of the group’s many projects destined to make outdoorsy Vermonters happy. AMY LILLY

JOIE DE LIVRE Two years before his book The Maltese Falcon was published in 1930, Dashiell Hammett wrote of detective fiction, “Someday somebody’s going to make ‘literature’ of it.� Hammett would’ve been pleased to know that his hard-boiled story about international thieves tracking a jewel-encrusted statue has become a genre gem. The National Endowment for the Arts tapped it for a short-list of books used in “The Big Read,� a community literacy project. The Vermont Arts Council launches an all-ages reading and discussion of The Maltese Falcon this Sunday, when Sam Spade aficionados can hear Montpelier author Daniel Hecht and private investigator Susan Hanson shed light on actual and fictional modern mysteries. Lost Nation Theater performs dramatic readings, and readers don double-breasted suits and pinstriped pencil skirts for a period costume contest. ‘The Big Read’ KicKoff

The Civil War monuments we see today in even the smallest Vermont towns speak to the impact of war on our state. What was life in Vermont like while the Civil War was raging to the south? How did the Civil War affect Vermont towns and individuals — soldiers, their families, widows, and orphans? A look at the Civil War home front in the North — in Vermont and elsewhere — puts a human face on a war that is sometimes seen only in terms of clashing armies and great men, policies, and politics.

DRAWING CONCLUSIONS

A Hallo

When it comes to sports, marathons are ancient news. Graphic artists take up pens and pencils this Saturday in a new twist on the format that mixes creativity with a test of endurance. Ten narrative-makers stay up all night to lay out, draw and ink a comic book apiece as part of a nationwide challenge to stop procrastinating and make something to, er, Marvel at. Stop by to watch the sketchers slug coffee, or get your kicks picking up art supplies at midnight. Speaking of opuses with legs, fans of “Doonesbury” creator Garry Trudeau can catch the Pulitzer Prize-winning, politically conscious cartoonist in person Monday evening when he talks about his 36-year career at a benefit for White River Junction’s Center for Cartoon Studies.

GEORGIA ON MY MIND In the Caucasus Republic of Georgia, people used to make wine by burying special earthenware jugs called “zedashes” under the family home. The resulting vintages venerated one’s ancestors, and the annual opening of a zedashe carried great ritual significance. The Zedashe Ensemble strives to preserve unique, centuries-old polyphonic melodies and movement patterns in the spirit of its namesake. The mixed-gender, folkloric music-and-dance troupe’s nine members hail from a fortified hillside town in the heart of Georgian wine country, and their repertoire includes ritual circle dances, folk songs and ancient, three-part harmony chants from the Orthodox Christian liturgy. Tap into the Zedashe Ensemble at Dartmouth College this Wednesday, or wait to see them at Middlebury for free on October 25.

If you’re looking for relationships, dates, flirts, or to hook-up, this is your scene. WOMEN seeking MEN I LOVE TO LIVE! I love life, boys, sports, games, skiing, golf, going barefoot, getting my nails done and being a girl. Reading, watching “Prison Break” and “Lost” with my 16-year-old son, cooking for the hordes on a moment’s notice, drinking coffee on my porch, living near the bike path, walking my dog - oh, and the cat follows along! Only confident, happy men need apply! maidmarian, 51, #106925 KIND-HEARTED BUT FUN-LOVING I am a person who tries to treat others as I would want to be treated. I treasure my family and friends above all else. I enjoy reading, learning, talking with intelligent people, and also my alone time. I like the New York Yankees and the New England Patriots. On lazy days I enjoy sitting in the sun and relaxing. aamour, 43, #106928 FIVE FOUR THREE TWO ONE Take a chance. underwonder, 24, l, #106926 SEEKING KIND AND CREATIVE FOLKS Do you love spontaneity, bluegrass music, apple cider, swimming holes, warm bread, gardens, dancing, guitar music around a campfire, climbing trees, local food, other cultures, activism, natural building and dancing? New to Montpelier, am casting nets to expand circle of friends. Kindred spirits take the cold edge off these frosty fall nights. LunaLaughter, 28, l, #102582 START SLOW, HEAT, PERK I value honesty and passion, whether for justice, peace or your kids. I am energetic with a killer smile. I love hiking, rollerblading, biking, swimming and skiing. I’m looking for someone to enjoy Burlington with. I am independent and am looking for someone who is, too. Send me an email to see if we click! guysgirl, 51, #106904 SUGAR ‘N’ SPICE WITH SERIOUS BEDHEAD I love to flirt, play and make you laugh, but I’m a quiet, introspective girl too. There’s so much to explore here! If you’re enthusiastic, fun, intelligent and funny, let’s explore together. I’m all of those things, as well as a great listener, a passionate lover, and a great friend. (I have pictures! Ask me!). Tangerine6, 37, l, #106891 HIGH-ENERGY, FIT, FUN, ROMANTIC I am passionate, creative, spontaneous, positive, active and attractive (I hope). I run, practice yoga, and am very involved in the arts, theater, music and teaching. Looking for a partner in his 40s or 50s with a great sense of humor, kids or not. I love kids. Let’s bike, ski, sail, hike, cook, travel, talk, sing, dance and see what happens! Eli8, 52, l, #106869 EASYGOING, DOWN-TO-EARTH I’m a 48-year-young female who wants romance in her life. People say I have a great smile and am easy to talk to. I have a sense of humor but also can be serious when needed. Looking for someone who doesn’t want to jump in bed when we meet. Sorry about no picture, but I just got on and have no scanner. countrygirl1959, 48, #106850

CAUGHT UP IN THE EXCITEMENT I live in Montpelier and work in Burlington. I’m Alaska-bound. I believe in the healing power of tea, how blue the ocean can be, cycling, recycling, and good microbrews. I draw, run, scream, read, paint, write, dance, color, refuse and rethink. elementalgirll, 20, l, #104646 SEXY, INDEPENDENT, CONFIDENT, CHIC 23-year-old woman looking for man between the ages of 25 and 35. Must be over 6’ tall, adventurous, independent and financially stable. daisy28, 23, l, #106842 LOTS TO OFFER Pretty, blonde, in-shape and friendly gal who has a lot to offer. Would like to share good times with an honest, friendly man who is active and physically fit, and likes to go out. tallyho1, 41, #106829 MAY THERE BE PEACE WITHIN I try to welcome each day for the splendor it brings - the sunrise, the grace of a walk through the woods, the sound of the hummingbird as it hovers so lightly over the bee balm, a candlelit dinner, even if I’m alone, the voice of a friend or family member, and a good book or a film. luxluminum, 47, l, #106834 QUIRKY SCORPIO CREATRESS I am equally comfortable in intellectual, emotional and spiritual conversations. I love my kids. I love to move. I teach yoga, do Thai yoga massage, and love to dance. I love to make things with my hands. I really love to explore the world around me, and I love my cats. I love to make and eat good food. firedancer, 32, l, #106635 LOOK OUT; HERE I AM! It’s hard to describe yourself because everyone looks at you differently - but here goes! I am outgoing, busy, always working or going to school, love to have fun and try new things, love to travel to new and far away places or take road trips with friends! There you go: short and sweet just like me! :). cwrigs, 22, l, #106809 FAITHFUL, HONEST, OPTIMISTIC Is God important to you? Do children make you smile? Do you know that each moment is a precious gift? Does family really matter to you? I’m the devoted mother of two great kids. I prefer the simple things in life; walks, hikes, gardening, kayaking on the lake, singing, reading and church. Are you kind, patient and honest? Let’s talk. Isaiah40, 37, #106801

WOMEN seeking WoMEN

COLORADO CLIMBER I like: peace, nature, hiking, climbing, social justice, cooking, children, animals, music, gardening, reading, sustainability. I dislike: hate, drama, gossip, smoking, TV, sitting still too long, factory farms, US economic policies, WTO, NAFTA, World Bank, classism. The person I’m looking for is very independent and also wants to save the world. ssej, 20, l, #106920

QUIRKY, ACTIVE AND SLIGHTLY RECLUSIVE Not too long ago I considered myself new to the area. I am now beyond the new phase and would like to meet some people outside of work. I’m game for just about anything. I enjoy playing outside as well as reading inside. I would like to meet someone honest and sincere to share adventures with. mb, 29, l, #106913 OPEN AND READY I’m a single, sporty, artistic, funny, warm woman who’s looking for the same or something totally different! It’s about a “connection.” That’s what’s sexy! I’m open and willing to get to know a warm, fun, and kind woman. Body type, hair color, eye color it’s all superficial. Take a chance! organicjen, 35, #106873 BEWARE: PITBULL LOVER Looking for someone fun who loves animals, movies and coffee, and natural stuff in general, to hang out or go on a random trip with somewhere. Sense of humor would be awesome, especially if it’s dry and witty. DarkTigress, 21, l, #106841 SILLY, SERIOUS ME I am new to Vermont and looking to explore. I am busy but up for whatever. I am opinionated yet versatile. I’ll talk your ear off about social justice issues if you will let me. Really, I’m too cheap to pay for an account even though there are a few profiles up that I wouldn’t mind finding out more about. redcity, 22, l, #106832 I’M BORED. LET’S HANG OUT I am just getting out of a long-term relationship and I am looking for some cool women to hang out with. I like to do anything: work out, dog park, movies, drinks, coffee, whatever. I’m honest, in touch with myself, authentic, fun and bored. I’m looking for some real people to hang out with and who knows what else! vermontr, 23, l, #106769 “I YAM WHAT I YAM...” Can you finish that quote? It’s one of my favorites! I think I’m pretty damn cool (not in a conceited way). I enjoy life and spending time with my family and friends. I like to travel pretty much anywhere, anytime. I am happy when I am busy and on the go. I’m looking for someone new to share the trip. gretason, 28, l, #105556

MEN seeking WoMEN TO WHOM IT CONCERNS: I’ve given up hope that you exist. And if that makes you curious, you’ll just have to read the rest online. elfuego, 30, l, #101186 AMERICAN AUTHENTIC ECCENTRIC BUDDHIST ECLECTIC You are very intrigued. You find me not like other men. Manly, confident, but also androgynous and somewhat shy. You think, “Hmmm, maybe...” So, you write, I write back, you write back, I write back, will this EVER go FORWARD? (That’s 40 words. I saved some for you.). elkheart, 49, #106914 OUTDOORSY, ATHLETIC, FRIENDLY Energetic, educated yet able to relax, I’m seeking a woman with adventure in mind who remains responsible and caring. Road trips, snowshoeing, skiing and fishing are a must, but so is time spent with a good book. Tughill, 32, l, #106866 CANADIAN WHO LOVES VERMONT Hey, I’m a real outdoor enthusiast, from skiing in the winter to golf, hiking and biking in the summer. Vermont is my all-natural playground that I have come to love; Quebec just isn’t the same. So I’m here looking for some people who share my interests and have developed a love for the Vermont outdoors. liv4snow, 21, u, l, #106909

MAN SEEKING MUSE I’ve got my lifestyle, profession and interests fully rolling. Some chemistry would spice things up perfectly. I know - do what you love and you’ll meet someone. Getting a date isn’t a priority while running a marathon. And there aren’t many women stopping by my shop to restore old Harleys. So here I am. Wasabi, 33, l, #106905 PROTIST LOVER I am seeking someone like myself who does a lot and doesn’t really need someone so badly. Also, I want to meet someone who likes discussion and can agree to disagree. Biking? Yes. Dancing? Yes. Art museums? Sure. Overnight camping? Absolutely. Humor is probably my favorite thing. It’s like a light in the dark. I just keep it as my pet pit bull. Tchung, 35, l, #106902 COUNTRY Looking for a friendly companion who is looking for a solid relationship. sundown, 48, u, l, #106859 LOVE GREAT MUSIC AND BUILDING I am a happy person who enjoys life and good company. Building and creating things is my favorite pastime. I work hard, play hard and usually sleep early. I enjoy cooking, eating out, and traveling. Outdoor activity is a passion. You can expect a good listener, practicality, and a high-energy personality. Friendship is where we can start. silviculture, 44, l, #106889 FUNNY, CRAFTY, HONEST Looking for someone to get to know. vtbmxer, 31, l, #106887 HONEST, FUN AND HARDWORKING Hi! I am a hardworking guy who is looking for somebody to hang with. I am honest and open-minded. I spend my free time being active and I am looking for a girl who’s likeminded. If you are interested, drop me a line. Vtcoca, 31, u, l, #106888 FUNNY, WITTY AND SINCERE I’m someone who enjoys a lot of one-on-one. Not great in a crowd but can survive. Love to go out and also love to stay in. I like to pamper my dates. Hell, if you are willing to go out with me, it’s the least you deserve. If you are looking for some good company, let’s chat. djcal1025, 50, l, #106872 HOW DELIGHTFUL AM I? UTTERLY. I have boundless curiosity and a childlike fascination with the world around me, especially the people in it. Wickedly intelligent, sometimes funny, mostly rather dry. A quiet type for the most part with some exceptional outbursts of unbridled joy. I seek the inspired and inspiring: bright, fun, wickedly funny. A companion and sister-in-arms. Kailash, 35, l, #106864 HAPPY VT BAKER Hi! I like to have fun with friends. This includes watching movies, cooking, eating, walking, reminiscing, laughing, hanging out, discussing, planning, and generally just having a good time. Chefman07, 21, #106862 SEEKING SINCERITY Easygoing, laid back. Enjoy hiking, taking walks, eating out, and NASCAR. I have two great kids that I have every weekend. I would like to meet someone with similar interests who is sincere, motivated and kind, and who will allow me the opportunity to try something new. Trust, communication and honesty are important to me. ZEEK78, 29, l, #105839 FUN, HONEST, LIKES TO LAUGH Honest, fun, loving guy who likes being active outdoors. I enjoy friends and family, sharing good food, and conversation. It’s important to be caring and understanding with a positive attitude. I love kids and would like to have my own sometime soon. If you think and act similarly, please give me a call. pmot, 43, l, #106799

WOMEN seeking… NEW LESSONS TO BE LEARNED Shy, awkward and inexperienced, looking for a teacher of sorts, someone to be patient with me, open me up, help me learn to feel comfortable in my own skin, and show me things I might like to know.

I am voluptuous, plus-sized - there’s no disguising the fact - so if that’s not your type, don’t respond and waste my time, okay?

Mistress

Maeve

Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust! Captive Audience Dear Mistress Maeve, My boyfriend of a year and a half has always been forthcoming about his interest in getting tied up during sex. I’m open to the idea, but I’m just curious: Why do people want to get tied up? It seems counterintuitive to me. I mean, don’t you want to be able to move and touch and feel during sex? When I ask him, he just says, “It’s hot.” Yeah, I get that, but there has to be more to it, right? I have the bedposts and the silk scarves. I just need the reasons why. Best, Knotty Girl

Dear Knotty, Let me ask you this: Why do people ride rollercoasters? Because it’s a way to feel out of control and exhilarated in a (relatively) safe environment. Of course, comparing rollercoasters to bondage is far too simplistic, but it’s a good place to start. Your beau could simply want to try something new, or he could have deeper motivations. Some people find intense freedom through relinquishing control in the bedroom — being “forced” into enjoying sexual acts can release all kinds of pent-up emotion. Ultimately, you need to talk with your boyfriend and let him know that you’re happy to sling him up, but you’d get more enjoyment from the experience if he shared more of his feelings with you. Knotty, I commend you on your willingness to explore your partner’s desires and your eagerness to learn what lies beneath his craving for captivity. Who knows: With a little experience, you might enjoy keeping your man fit to be tied. Just remember, don’t tie his limbs too tightly, and always check to see that his extremities aren’t numb or tingly — you don’t want poor circulation binding you up.

Captivatingly yours,

MM

Bexley Howdy! My name is Bexley and I am a 3 year old neutered male Basset Hound mix. I was transferred to HSCC from a shelter in Florida. I am laidback, confident, and like to be top dog. As such I should be the only dog in the home, although I do okay with dogs I meet out on walks. I have lived with cats and would be fine with them in the home. I would love to find a family with kids 8+ years old – a place where I will get lots of attention and moderate exercise to keep me at a healthy weight since I have a long back. I am food-oriented and so should do well with training. I have attended classes before and know the basics. However, I would certainly benefit from additional classes to brush up on his manners and bond with his new people. I am a nice, easy-going and charismatic guy. Visit me at HSCC, 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday, from 1 to 6 pm, or Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. 862-0135.

Through different interactive and creative drama techniques including Playback Theatre, we will explore connection in a safe supportive and creative environment. About Playback Theatre. Moments of our lives can be touchstones, full of power and significance. Playback Theatre transforms personal stories told by audience members into theatre pieces on the spot, using movement, ritual, music and spoken improvisation. Sometimes a story becomes myth, sometimes a realistic enactment: some stories are tragic; others are funny or illuminating. Workshop participants will share in the often profound experience of hearing each other’s stories and bringing them to life. The Playback process develops intuition, insight, creativity and effective communication. It also creates community and connection among people by honoring the dignity, drama and universality in their stories. This workshop is for anyone interested in creating art from the specific and universal in our experience. Monday evenings, 7-9 pm, September 17, 24 and October 1 and 15. $150.00. Limit 8 people. Please call: 860-6203 for information. 130 Church Street, Burlington.
