Before I was a mortgage lender, one of my interesting jobs was... in the late 80s, I scooped and made ice cream nights at Ben & Jerry’s old shop on Cherry Street to help buy our first home.

My favorite hobby is... anything baseball: watching, playing, coaching, collecting. If I had $10.99 to spend, I would‌ scrape up $4.01 more and buy a malaria net for Africa (NetsForLife). Song title that reflects my life... “Life is a Carnivalâ€? by The Band, “Crazy Little Thing Called Loveâ€? by Queen, “Lost in the Supermarketâ€? by The Clash (my wife would say). The last book I read was‌ The Shaman’s Apprentice, A Tale of the Amazon

On a Sunday morning you will most likely find me... heading to church with my family. The first piece of real estate I bought was... a small condo in Hinesburg. Boy, was that scary! One thing people are surprised to find out about me is... my tattoos and body piercings. Ha!

APOLOGETIC MOTHERFUCKER I would like to personally apologize to Mr. Estrin [“Art = Life = Politics,” September 26] for flag waving and handing out leaflets. I would also like to apologize to Mrs. Parris for using Nazi-like tactics. I would like to apologize to Mr. Greene for being a motherfucker. I would also like to apologize to Vermonters for a Just Peace in Palestine/Israel (VTJP) for giving the other perspective of the Rachel Corrie accident. To the members of the VTJP, I am sorry I showed up at Peter Schumann’s exhibit. I am, however, quite confused about the Nazi statement. I am a member of Students Taking Action Now: Darfur (STAND). Does that seem quite hypocritical, or is that just my view? It appears to me that VTJP would like to have only their points of view heard in Vermont. I am sorry, but I have an issue with this. If VTJP really wants peace, they need to be willing to hear what members of the whole Vermont Jewish community and pro-Israel community have to say — not just the Jewish members of VTJP. I still feel that VTJP is missing the point of what upset many people in Vermont’s Jewish and pro-Israel community. The Art

Hop was not the appropriate venue for Mr. Kovel to be speaking. That is very clear in my mind because both sides of this debate are quite upset about what happened. Maybe VTJP will one day understand what was so upsetting about this speaker. L’shalom. Josh Neirman THETFORD

Neirman was a protestor at Peter Schumann’s Art Hop exhibit.

themselves to be not competent enough to organize fair political events. In the show that caused all the uproar, there was no attempt to present a balance of views. I made a disturbing piece of art that responded to what I believed the outcome would be of enacting an “Overcoming Zionism” policy. This piece was not included in the show because I “submitted after the entry due date.”

HOP OFF BALANCE The Art Hop issue [“Peter Schumann’s Art Hop Exhibit Sparks Controversy,” September 12] is not about censorship. Art Hop should show any art offered to it. The more practical question: Should the Art Hop schedule purely political events? I think not. If the Art Hop becomes a platform for political lectures, some people will then choose to distance themselves from this event. Next year, do we get an anti-abortion lecture and film? How about the political candidates running in November? Should they be scheduled for campaign speeches? The Art Hop administrators have shown themselves to be competent event administrators, but they have also showed

I think that there are many people in this community who have criticisms of Israel and concerns for the tragedy in Palestine/Israel. But linking these criticisms with the desire for the destruction of the Jewish state (the overt point to the Art Hop lecture) overwhelms any creative discussion. David Sokol

KNOW OUR ROLE In light of the incident at the 2007 South End Art Hop as reported in Seven Days [“Peter Schumann’s Art Hop Exhibit Sparks Controversy,” September 12], I would like to clarify the Peace & Justice Center’s role in providing fiscal sponsorship to various community groups.

Thanks to the miracle of modern technology, this guide is a workin-progress. If we missed your favorite spot, let us know and we’ll add it to the map. We’ll keep it online all winter so you can check back after the snow falls.

Reunion

A few nights ago, I sat at the US Airways arrival gate at Burlington Airport reading a USA Today. As I sat there reading, two little brothers — maybe three and six — were climbing all around the room. Their mom, a small and slender woman, perhaps Filipino, was keeping track of them in a careful, though nonoppressive manner. They were both sweet little kids, so nobody in the arrival area seemed to mind their exploration.

most PoPular stories last week on the Seven DayS website: 1.

compileD bY cAThY ResmeR excerpts from our blogs

“Outside Track: Invasion of the Privacy Snatchers” by Cheryl Hanna “Parima Fights City Hall — and Loses” by Patrick Ripley “Class Dismissed: Meet the parents who are buying into the Old North End’s schools” by Mike Ives “Livin’ in the 802: Hip-hop in Vermont? Damn straight” by Dan Bolles “Paper Cuts: Why are so many workers leaving The Burlington Free Press?” by Kevin J. Kelley

The mom occasionally checked in with a group of people standing over to the side, maybe a couple of other women and a half-dozen men. There was an excitement and anticipation among all of them. The US Airways flight finally arrived at half past 12, and the first passengers began wandering in. A big man, dressed in thick army boots and fatigues full of gray, green and brown blotches came through the inner door and sprinted towards us. The mom said to her boys, “There’s your daddy!”

For most of us, sledding is a cheap, accessible form of downhill recreation. It’s often free. The only trick is figuring out where the hills are. That’s why we paired the Mad River Rocket article with a “Hillside Guide” directing you to popular public sledding hills. The list appears in the paper, but it also exists online as a map. Check it out this week on our website.

Each month, Eva produces a halfhour compilation of “Stuck in Vermont” videos that airs Mondays at 8:30 p.m. and Tuesdays at 9:30

Eva also reviews movies on Tim Kavanagh’s show “Late Night Saturday” on WCAX, Channel 3. In her free time Eva produces “The Deadbeat Club,” which airs on Channel 15 Friday at 11:30 p.m. and Sunday at 9 p.m. Join Eva, her mom, and her sister — Seven Days associate editor Margot Harrison — as they discuss movies, art, celebrities, nature, politics and “babes.”

The man came through the gate, fell to one knee and embraced his two children, tears streaming down his face. The two boys were talking to him non-stop, telling him all the things he needed to hear — about a new bike and a puppet show they saw and important stuff like that. After a minute or so with the boys, he got up and embraced his wife, who came up just to the center of his chest. They didn’t say a word, just held each other for a long time. Read more online...

according to Conor Casey, a lobbyist with the Vermont State Employees Association. Casey, who also serves on one of the task forces, says he’s received phone calls from ANR employees who worry that the agency’s public services might deteriorate. And he says state legislators have called with concerns that ANR may be circumventing legislative processes. “These decisions . . . can’t just be implemented unilaterally by the administration,” Casey says. “My worst fear is that it’s the illusion of public input.” Members of two Montpelier-based environmental advocacy groups, the Vermont Natural Resources Council and Vermonters for a Clean Environment, echo that critique. Seven Days obtained a copy of an internal email that supports Casey’s claims. It was sent on September 4 by Senator Susan Bartlett (D-Lamoille), who co-chairs the

is disconcerting to anybody.” Manley’s former boss, Rich Phillips, isn’t surprised by that assertion. A 35-year DEC vet who retired in January 2006, Phillips characterizes the re-org as Crombie’s “pet project.” He has issues with what he terms the secretary’s “command and control” approach. Two months ago, Phillips was one of only half a dozen citizens to testify on the restructuring at an ANRsponsored public forum. In late August, he sent a letter to Governor Jim Douglas outlining his concerns, but says he hasn’t received a response. Douglas’ Press Secretary Jason Gibbs did not respond to a message left at his office inquiring about the letter. Laura Pelosi, ANR director of Policy Research and Planning, presided over the summer meetings and disagrees with Phillips’ assessment. She points out that ANR’s website allows for public input and provides minutes from the task-force meetings. “We’re trying to be as transparent as we possibly can,” she insists. But despite her assurance, ANR employees and state legislators remain “skeptical” of the process,

MONTPELIER — Vermont’s Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) is undergoing a massive reorganization. Agency honchos praise the process. But according to two prominent environmental groups, three long-time staffers, a workers’ lobbyist and a state senator, the “re-org” is plagued by a lack of transparency. Most complaints center around the reportedly domineering managerial style of ANR Secretary George Crombie. One staffer even suggests he dismissed former Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Jeff Wennberg, who officially “resigned” in August. DEC staffers represent half of all ANR personnel. ANR, which has an annual operating budget of more than $80 million, has traditionally housed three departments: DEC, Fish & Wildlife, and Forests, Parks & Recreation. After Crombie took office in January 2007, however, he reconfigured the agency into 18 crossdisciplinary “centers” to better address contemporary environmental issues. Accordingly, 18 agency-appointed “task forces” were created to consult on the re-org. DEC morale is “pretty difficult right now,” says Nancy Manley, director of DEC’s Environmental Assistance Office. The 19-year DEC employee, who co-leads one of the task forces, says her fellow employees are nervous about how the changes will affect their work environment. “People know that they’re going to have jobs, but they don’t know what those jobs are going to be,” she notes. “That kind of nebulous future

state’s Natural Resources Reorganization Committee (NRRC). The committee was created in 2005 to provide input on ways ANR can operate more efficiently. According to Bartlett, Crombie’s reorg has subverted NRRC’s work. “The words all sound good, but I’m hearing from many sources outside and inside the agency that it’s not all going so well. There has been no public process,” Bartlett writes. The email circulated through various senatorial and administrative offices in Montpelier. “There is total disgust at the lack of septic rules . . . I, in all honesty, don’t have any idea what’s going on,” she adds. ANR official Pelosi was the first addressee on Bartlett’s email. “We’ve certainly given Senator Bartlett and the others on the [NRRC] the information that’s available at this point in time,” she maintains. “We’ve invited them to come and attend the task-force presentations.” Pelosi says she expects the bulk of public comments to come in November, after the 18 task-force committees have released their final reports. John Brabant, an environ-

mental analyst who has worked at the DEC for almost 20 years, thinks both the NRRC and Pelosi are to blame for the apparent lack of public transparency. Late last month, he copied Pelosi on an email stipulating his concerns about the re-organization. He doesn’t expect a substantive response. “My constant complaint for 19-and-a-half years is, we have this tendency to close the public out of our processes,” he explains. “It puts us at a disadvantage in terms of doing the people’s work.” Senator Bartlett did not respond to requests for an interview. Like Rich Phillips, Brabant blames the re-org woes on George Crombie and other senior ANR officials. “George Crombie has been good to me, but his remoteness . . . has created a paranoia,” Brabant asserts. “It’s their approach, how they deal with people on a day-to-day basis, that’s gotten people all worked up.” According to Brabant, Crombie’s style isn’t just affecting employee sentiment. On August 15, DEC Commissioner Jeff Wennberg officially resigned after four-anda-half years of service. But Brabant suggests there was a lot brewing behind Wennberg’s departure. “It’s my understanding that he was let go,” Brabant states bluntly, citing an alleged rift between Wennberg and Crombie as the reason. “I think you’d have to talk to Jeff about that,” says acting DEC Commissioner Justin Johnson when presented with Brabant’s claim. Wennberg could not be reached for comment. As for low morale among DEC employees, Johnson’s not worried. “Whenever there’s a reorganization, then there’s concern, that’s natural,” Johnson suggests, adding that only a handful of employees have expressed concerns to him personally. That said, Johnson acknowledges the ANR could do better. “The secretary has made it clear that staff development is something we haven’t done as much of in the past as we should do,” he explains. “We need to nurture people and give them the opportunity to learn. “Is it easy along the way?” Johnson adds. “Absolutely not. But . . . if we can get it right, I think it will be great for the state.” A call to Crombie’s office requesting an interview for this story was not returned as of press time. >

Cost of Birth-Control Pills Skyrockets with Federal Deficit Reduction Act

Noel B. Allen, CWPC

BY KEN PICARD

VERMONT — When Vermont’s colleges and universities seek the federal government’s help in growing their student bodies, this probably isn’t the kind of “growth” they’re expecting. Tens of thousands of health clinics nationwide, including some student health centers on Vermont college campuses, have experienced a dramatic rise in the cost of birth control pills and other female contraceptives. The price hikes are the direct result of changes in the Medicaid rebate program included in the 2005 Deficit Reduction Act, which took effect January 1. As a result, many female college students have seen the cost of their oral contraceptives rise as much as tenfold, while other birth control methods have been discontinued on some campuses due to the cost hike. Clinic directors and women’s health advocates warn that the recent price spike could lead to more women using the “morning-after pill,” a less effective method of birth control, and perhaps even to more unwanted pregnancies on college campuses. Miriam Simon, a physician’s assistant at Lyndon State College in Lyndonville, reports that the price of Ortho-Tricyclen Lo birth control pills offered by her student health center jumped from $400 per case to $4000. That’s caused the wholesale price of a monthly dose of the pill to go from $2.70 to $27.70. In the past, Lyndon sold students the monthly pack for $5, and used the profits to subsidize screenings for sexually transmitted diseases. Currently, Ortho-Tricyclen Lo retails in Vermont drug stores for about $40 to $50 per pack. Simon says she’s called local pharmacists looking for cheaper, generic alternatives, but has been unable to find one that retails for less than $20. “A lot of these kids don’t have cars, and Planned Parenthood is about 10 miles away from here,” she says. “So I think there’s definitely an access issue here.” Simon also points out that some of her students take the pill for reasons other than contraception, such as controlling irregular periods or treating polycystic ovaries. In total, she estimates that about 50 women on campus are affected by the recent price increase. Gloria Vanderham, a spokesperson for Ortho Women’s Health and Urology, maker of Ortho-Tricyclen Lo, explains her company had no choice but to charge student health centers higher prices. She says the Deficit Reduction Act, which was championed by GOP members and the Bush administration, limited the number of institutions and nonprofit health centers that qualify as “safety-net providers.” Vanderham would not disclose the discounted price of the drug.

Rebecca Hill, director of health services at Johnson State College, has experienced a similar problem as have those at Lyndon State. She says her student health center has switched to a lower-priced generic pill in an effort to keep prices affordable for students. Nevertheless, students have seen the cost of the pill go from $5 to $15 per month. “Going from $5 to $15 in a student body that doesn’t have extra resources has had an impact,” she adds. Moreover, Hill says the center has stopped carrying the NuvaRing. “The Ring,” as it’s commonly known, is a flexible plastic contraceptive inserted into the vagina that slowly releases doses of estrogen and progestin, the same hormones as in the pill. It’s a popular method of birth control among college students because it doesn’t require taking a pill every day, and it lasts for 21 days. According to Hill, the Ring, which sold for $5 last year, would have increased to as much as $35. “We would have spent several thousand dollars to get it in here,” she says. “That’s meant that some women have had to change back to the pill when

most common form of contraception used on U.S. college campuses. According to a 2006 survey of 95,000 students conducted by the American College Health Association, 38 percent of sexually active students rely on the pill, compared to 37 percent who use condoms and 2.5 percent who used spermicide. Interestingly, 14 percent cited “withdrawal” as their preferred form of birth control. Colleges and universities aren’t the only ones feeling the pain. Nationally, about one in four Planned Parenthood clinics, which often serve low-income, rural or inner-city clients, have also seen their birth control prices go up, eating into and sometimes even eliminating what little profits they made on them. According to Emily Blistein from Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, Vermont has not been affected. But in other communities around the country, she says the impact has been “devastating.” The higher price for birth control was reportedly an inadvertent consequence of the 2005 Deficit Reduction Act, but recent efforts in Congress to fix the error and reinstitute the cheaper pricing have all run into roadblocks.

Many female college students have seen the cost of their oral contraceptives rise as much as tenfold. they’d rather be on the Ring.” Hill says many students must now find a way to the pharmacy in Morrisville — about 10 miles from campus — to purchase their birth control. And, on a campus where many students come from families with limited or no health insurance, even a $10 per month cost increase is significant. Hill estimates that about 100 Johnson State students are being affected. Vermont’s college health insurance plan, used by many students across the state, only covers $250 in prescription drug costs per year — less than the new annual cost of the Ring or Ortho-Tricyclen Lo. Birth control pills are still the

Peter Welch was one of 93 members of Congress to sign a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) asking that the old pricing structure be reinstated. But some Washington insiders predict that a solution probably won’t be in place before the end of the year. In the meantime, Hill at Johnson State has a suggestion for female patients who are having trouble paying for birth control pills: Ask your partners to share the cost. >

The Dean Machine A NEW BOOK LOOKS BEYOND CAMPAIGN HICCUPS, FOCUSES ON SUCCESSES

VERMONT — When Howard Dean stepped onto the stage in Iowa on that cold January evening in 2004, he removed his coat, handed it off, and rolled up his sleeves. Then, it happened: the “Dean Scream.” In a moment, the presidential candidate had redefined himself to the mainstream media, which then milked the sound byte to portray a cartoonish image of Vermont’s former governor. The impression would reverberate across the country and become bound to the Dean campaign, at least outside the friendlier Green Mountain State. But the impact of that campaign cannot be confined to a single sound byte or video clip. Well before the Scream, the campaign’s grassroots use of the Internet to raise money and galvanize supporters

The call sent two police officers to the scene, but instead of a fight or domestic dispute, police encountered an eight-legged assailant. While she was doing some packing, a woman in the home came face to face with a spider, reveals Sgt. Mike Schirling, a spokesman for the Burlington Police Department. Police quickly dispatched the creature. “It didn’t work out well for the spider,” says Schirling.

A Heart Attack Tab MAN IDENTIFIED IN EAT-FOR-FREE PLOY

BURLINGTON — They say there’s no such thing as a free lunch. But a free dinner? In Burlington, all you have to do is walk in a restaurant, order dinner, eat your fill, and when the bill comes, pretend you’re having a heart attack. That’s what some say a local man has been doing to get the most of downtown’s fine cuisine. Elias Elias, 56, of Burlington, has had several theft of services and trespassing charges filed against him since first being charged in August 2005, according to documents at Chittenden District Court. “We’ve dealt with the guy a dozen or so times in the last 18 months,” says Deputy Chief Walt Decker of the Burlington Police Department. Most recently, Elias pulled his heart attack routine at Burlington Bay, and his performance precipitated a call to the fire department, says Matt Young, street outreach team leader for Howard Center Human Services. The agency monitors downtown activity on Church Street and works with local emergency services to provide outreach to individuals with mental disabilities. Young says he has encountered Elias on Church Street in the past and has even been personally attacked by him, but still hopes outreach efforts will help him “pull it together.” Police say this type of theft-of-service call is rare. “If someone needs a meal, between the benevolence of the food shelf and the Salvation Army,” says Decker, “there’s usually a meal available.” Decker says Elias is expected to pay restitution for his dinners.

changed how campaigns have been run since. “Every campaign — including Republican campaigns — has a blogger, is soliciting money with email, is doing list building . . . Nobody did that before Dean with any effect,” says Thomas Streeter, co-editor of a new book out this month from Paradigm Publishers entitled Mousepads, Shoe Leather, and Hope: Lessons from the Howard Dean Campaign for the Future of Internet Politics. The book explores the impact Dean and his team had on national politics through the eyes of those closest to the campaign. Its pages are filled with essays written by supporters at various levels. “What this book does is take it beyond those few little sound bytes and tries to get a much richer understanding,” says Streeter. “[The campaign] changed what people imagined was possible in politics in the United Sates in a rather profound way.” Co-edited by Duke Law School Assistant Professor Zephyr Teachout, who was Dean’s Vermont-based director of online organizing during the campaign, Mousepads, Shoe Leather, and Hope describes the almost-magical effect the winds of political change can have on those caught in the breeze. Teachout describes her realization of the power of Internet politics as a sort of fairy-tale epiphany. “You feel like you’re sort of stumbling around the woods and you come across this strange town or strange land,” she says. “I didn’t know America was there. A lot of us didn’t.” Thanks to Howard Dean, now everyone knows. Mousepads, Shoe Leather, and Hope is available at www.paradigmpublishers.com. The 256-page book is $22.95 in paperback.

Arachnid Arrest BURLINGTON POLICE SAVE SCREAMING WOMAN FROM ASSAILANT

BURLINGTON — Fearing the worst, a Hayward Street resident contacted Burlington police last Saturday evening after hearing a blood-curdling scream coming from inside a nearby home.

MILTON — Modern technology has facilitated almost all aspects of life, including marijuana cultivation. And while it may help growers produce some of the best — and most expensive — weed around, it hasn’t stopped the feds from finding their crops. The cops have new gadgets, too. Benjamin Bernick, 33, formerly of Hinesburg, pled guilty last Tuesday to growing more than 100 pot plants last fall at a vacant home on Westford Road in Milton, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Vermont office.

When Drug Enforcement Agency agents stormed the home last September, they found 131 pot plants and 120 clones, court records show. The search revealed a high-tech growing operation that included carbon dioxide tanks and monitoring gauges, motorized track lighting, humidifiers and dehumidifiers, air-conditioning units and fans. Agents also found a complex system of motion-activated video cameras inside and outside the home. The cameras were wired to a laptop that broadcast a live video feed inside Bernick’s Hinesburg home. Agents value his high-potency strains of pot at $6000 per pound. Bernick could face up to 40 years in prison and a $2000 fine. He is scheduled for sentencing January 10. PATRICK RIPLEY

ould you believe Bernie Sanders of Burlington, Vermont, is the target of an attack TV ad this week in Costa Rica? It’s true. Independent U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders and U.S. Rep. Mark Michaud (DMA), traveled to Costa Rica 10 days ago. Their mission: to tell the people of Costa Rica it’s a lie the U.S. will punish them if they vote down the pending Central American Free Trade Agreement on October 7. Apparently, Ol’ Bernardo told “Inside Track,” “I’m now becoming a celebrity in Costa Rica, they’re running 30-second ads attacking me, and I’m not even running for the U.S. Senate in Costa Rica. Can you believe that?” Yes, indeed. When it comes to politics, we’ll believe almost anything. “On October 7, Costa Rica will be the first country in the world to have a national referendum on a free-trade agreement. The very first,” said Sanders. “The people who are supporting it are outspending the

opponents by at least 100 to 1.” According to Sen. Sanders, “What you have on one side are all of the monied interests who want this. On the other side you have students, environmentalists, religious groups, unions, who for a variety of reasons don’t want it.” It’s been “a very, very dishonest campaign,” he said. “And what their ruling class has been saying is, if the people of Costa Rica vote ‘No,’ the U.S. will rethink its overall relationship to Costa Rica — that a relationship that has been positive forever will become negative.” Sanders and Michaud went to tell the Costa Ricans that is a big lie. “We said, ‘You’re a free country, you’re a democratic country, the longest-standing democracy in Latin America. You vote however you want and there will not be retributions. The United States will respect your vote.’” Sanders also had Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi write a letter to their ambassador in Washington making that perfectly clear. Sanders’ Costa Rica trip got zippo for local press coverage. In fact, most people don’t know where Costa Rica is. But his visit did draw a big, scathing editorial attack in The Wall Street Journal. Ol’ Bernardo must be doing something right to earn that, eh?

Gaye Goes Nuclear — Finally! Democratic House Speaker Gaye Symington has visited a nuclear power plant! The speaker told yours truly, “It’s much smaller than I would have imagined it to be. The cooling towers are quite small. I kept waiting for this large thing to sort of for current menus emerge from the horizon and it never did.” Hey, size isn’t everything, is it? Besides, suggested yours truly, France is chock-full of them, and we like France, don’t we? The Tour de France, the Champs Elysée, the wine? 2x5-paulines092607.indd 1 “But I don’t think they’re all 40 years old,” responded Lady Gaye of Jericho, “and they’re not being operated at the same height of expanded design.” As everyone knows, Vermont Yankee, owned by Entergy Inc. of Louisiana these days, got a juicy power upgrade, and the money’s been rolling in. Plus, Vermont Yankee has a pretty powerful No. 1 cheerleader in Montpelier — Gov. Jim Douglas. Douglas vetoed the Democrats’ climate-change bill that would have taxed VY profits — and his veto was sustained! Subsequently, a big pipe in VY’s cooling-tower apparatus broke, causing both a power and a public-relations crisis. What did Symington come away with? “I am impressed by the extent to which they pay attention to who’s coming and going and what everyone’s doing,” she said. “There’s an awful lot of razorwire there.” Does Speaker Tree Hugger have a different take on Vermont’s lone nuke now? “I remain concerned,” said Symington, “that we have a facility that’s over 40 years old being operated at 20 percent above its capacity, and that the state relies on that 2x5-Leunigs091207.indd 1 facility for a third of its power.” There was apprehension in her voice as she told yours truly the “main issue” for her is, we’re “not doing enough concrete work to plan for the day when that plant can’t be operated, whether it’s going to happen in 2012 (when its current operating license expires) or sometime after. Veggies, Pesto, Eventually, we need to know what’s coming Provolone & side salad. post-Vermont Yankee.” Right now, folks, the sad truth is that we do not know. “We’re not facing up to that future, as a state,” said Symington. “I don’t think we’re taking it seriously at all. We’re certainly not ready to fill that gap in 2012. Somehow, we have to get beyond all the things we don’t like about each of the possible sources of electric power.” And, also, what we don’t like about each other, eh?

line of his press release was: “Symington’s Company Boasts Green Thumb — But Gives Environment the Finger.� The finger? What had RoperDope been smoking? “The left in Vermont has repeatedly used our environment as a tool for partisan politics,� stated Roper, of the party of the Christian Right. “The negligence at the Intervale illustrates that they are not only hypocrites, but unworthy of Vermonters’ trust as environmental stewards.� Just a little over the top, maybe? A week earlier, the Agency of Natural Resources charged Burlington’s Intervale Center with violating rules on the leachate from its compost. It is addressing the problem. (See story, page 03B.) You see, the Vermont House Speaker is, in one of her other roles, development coordinator at the Intervale Center. Been in the post since 2003. “The Intervale Center, to the extent that we’ve made mistakes, we’re out to fix them,� said Symington. “And we take this very seriously. If there was a violation, we will rectify it.� As for Roper-Dope’s rather “pointed� press release, Symington told “Inside Track� that she thinks it “really degrades the public conversation in this state. If any one of the high school students that works at the Youth Farm at the Intervale were to use that language, even in reference to their math homework, some adult in the room would shake their head and say, ‘Oh, kids these days, they just don’t show any respect.’� Speaker Gaye of Jericho called it “outrageous language to use in reference to one of the leaders of the state, and it demonstrates the extent to which the public conversation is being degraded.� Funny. Many would have thought Middlebury Jim, our guv, would have given Chairman Roper a tongue-lashing in public for his “giving the finger� statement. We have a call in, but no response as yet. Interesting. Not Big Brother? — Last week, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security made a surprise, rather secretive visit to Burlington, Vermont. Michael Chertoff — yes, the bald, skinny, scary-looking one — did a little shopping and made some brief rounds with his fellow Republican, our Gov. Jim Douglas. Gov.

several questions to him. Shortly after 2 p.m., the Associated Press’ Montpelier bureau moved a story about Chertoff coming to Vermont on Wednesday. Surprisingly, there was not a peep about it on WCAX-TV News — neither at 6, nor at 11. Like the guv’s office, Ch. 3 News certainly appeared to be keeping the visit a secret. Heck, the moose getting shot in Burlington was the big story on “Vermont’s Ownâ€? that night! Never did get a response from the guv’s office. Very hush-hush. Many surmise it was to prevent the appearance of — God forbid — Iraq war protesters at one of Chertoff ’s stops. You’d think our governor would want Vermonters to know that a prominent member of the Bush administration was visiting Vermont. After all, Sec. Chertoff was coming here to sign a “memorandum of understandingâ€? with Gov. Jimbo about how we’ve agreed to move toward a new “enhanced driver’s license.â€? Vermonters will be able to use it instead of a passport when they re-enter Vermont from QuĂŠbec. It’ll cost $15 to $20 more than our current driver’s license. In fact, no one’s sure when, or if, the whole new beefed-up border security requirements will actually take effect. After all, there’s a presidential election next year. “One of the cornerstone recommendations that the 9/11 commission made,â€? Chertoff told reporters at a hastily arranged presser in an abandoned state office complex in Burlap, “was the need to secure documentation that is used to enter this country. “People may be surprised to learn,â€? said Chertoff, “that today at the land borders, we see approximately 8000 different kinds of identification that are offered.â€? The secretary said those of us in a college town like Burlington “probably know it’s not that hard to forge a driver’s license — kids do it all the time.â€? What this means, said our charming Homeland Security Secretary, is “what the 9/11 commission identified as a weapon in the hands of potential terrorists is the ease with which people can get a phony ID.â€? So, Big Brother is the answer, eh? “I mean, I guess there may be people who think that having a driver’s license is Big Brother, and that’s between them and the state troopers,â€? quipped Chertoff. “I think everybody recognizes when you cross an international boundary,â€?said Chertoff, “you are required to show some kind of identification. So I don’t think this order, in any way, shape or form, looks like a Big Brother type of operation.â€? That’s a relief, eh? After Chertoff and Douglas completed their photo-op and made their exit, we asked motor vehicle commish Bonnie Rutledge if there is a date by which Vermonters will be

SEVEN DAYS | october 03-10, 2007 | track 17A

required to have either a passport or one of these new drivers’ licenses to enter the state from north of the border. “I believe,â€? said Bonnie with a Exploration of Mind chuckle, “the secretary stated that there’s not a date certain yet.â€? The new border-crossing requirement was originally January 2008, said Rutledge, a 37-year veteran of the Vermont DMV. “Now they’ve moved it out Identity • Creativity • Connection until next summer,â€? she said. And, she noted, “Chertoff had • individual and group identity said that that’s a little fluid right • friendship • emotional communication now, depending on how many • critical thinking • visual spatial problem solving states come on board. So they’re • fantasy, strategy and creativity looking at that.â€? So, with the election coming next November, this may never Andrea O’Neill, M.A., M.Ed. even happen, we asked? Doctoral Candidate, Psychoanalysis “Well, not being a politician,â€? answered Rutledge, “I can’t say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to that.â€? Ah, the voice of experience! Agency of Transportation 9/24/07 Secretary Neale Lunderville 2x5-andreaoneill092607.indd 1 assured us they will find the $1.5 million in the state budget for startup costs — assuming, of course, the march toward Big Brother Land continues. Neale, a.k.a. “The Boy Wonder,â€? who as a twentysomething campaign manager demonstrated his transportation skills while getting Gov. Photogenic elected twice, was asked if he knew when the new border-crossing ID requirement will go into effect. “We don’t know when DHS will say this is the final date,â€? said Sec. Lunderville. “We just don’t know what that date will be.â€? Hey, at least he’s honest. And late word Tuesday is that Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy is coming to Newport, Vermont, next Wednesday morning for a field hearing on the matter. Leahy, who calls Chertoff’s agency “dysfunctional,â€? says the EDL and/or passport requirement for Canadian border crossings is “a bad mistakeâ€? that will close businesses and put Vermonters out of work, while “not doing anything to stop terrorism.â€? What improves security, in St. Patrick’s view, is “enhanced intelligence,â€? not “enhanced driver’s licenses.â€? Pretty radical idea, eh? P.S. Rookie Transportation Secretary Lunderville is taking a little well-earned vacation time that, reliable sources say, will include a visit to Bratislava, Slovakia, on the banks of the Danube River.

The Peace & Justice Center (PJC) is a 28-year-old, statewide nonprofit organization that works on the interconnected issues of economic and racial justice, peace and human rights through education, training, advocacy, nonviolent activism and community organizing. For more than 20 years, the PJC has provided fiscal sponsorship to community groups and projects whose work fits within the scope of our mission. Current fiscal sponsors include: American Machine, Big Heavy World, Inter-American Center for the Arts, Sustainability and Action (CASA), Circles for Peace, VT Committee on South Africa, Vermonters for a Just Peace in Palestine/Israel, VT Peace Train, VT Pride, VT Says No to War Coalition and Vets for Peace. These community organizations and projects are all committed to grassroots organizing and civic engagement. With fiscal sponsorship, the PJC provides a way for groups to receive grants or other donations that need nonprofit status. The PJC does control how the money in our account is spent — it must follow Internal Revenue Service guidelines — but the PJC does not monitor or control the dayto-day work or actions of these groups. The PJC had no part in planning or implementing the Bread and Puppet exhibit at the Art Hop. The PJC supports free speech and the right of people to express themselves artistically. Simultaneously, we acknowledge the extent to which the events at Art Hop exacerbated an extremely tenuous situation. The Peace & Justice Center is reaching out to all parties involved in this local conflict in hopes of supporting dialogue and action that moves in the direction of peace and justice. Serena Chaudhry BURLINGTON

Chaudhry is the executive director at the Peace & Justice Center. THE NOTORIOUS K-I-D In response to the letter from the Winooski man complaining that the police are abusing their power [“Power-Hungry Police,” September 12], I have to disagree. In fact, we’re talking about a police force that is being outwitted by gangs of elementary school kids. When my bike was stolen from my front door in broad daylight, I went to the police. The apathy I encountered let me know there was no hope of ever seeing my bike again. “We’ll let you know if we see it,” I was told. Word on the street is that there are well-known “chop shops” that run steady businesses. Word from a local bike repair guru is that there are “notorious” gangs of elementary school kids stealing bikes. Notorious. Kids? Yikes. I was robbed. This was my only transportation. That bike is

irreplaceable to me. When I was listening to Mr. Bush’s recent speech about his commitment of resources to the safety of the people of Iraq, I couldn’t help but feel a little selfish. What about my own feeling of safety in my home state of Vermont? We have opened our doors to people from around the world. To the chronically homeless from across the country, Burlington is “the best place to be in the summer.” To parolees up and down the East Coast, Burlington is the place to go for “leniency.” Seems like this is a demand for more resources. The image of Burlington, Vermont, with its sailboats and fine dining, is in stark contrast to what is happening on the street, where syringes line sidewalks and people can’t feel safe from elementary school kids. Big-city crime has become a reality in towns throughout Vermont. And yet, funding for the police charged with maintaining public safety has not grown with the increase in population. If the police are helpless, where does that leave citizens? Does it lead us to the “I Spy” from the man whose fixie was stolen from his porch on Willard? Does it lead us to complacency? What is the plan for the future? What is the notorious elementary school kid going to be when he grows up? Stephanie Potter BURLINGTON

TOON RACE TABLEAUX This week’s strip by Ted Rall [“Modern Civil Rights: Which One is Worth Marching For?” September 26] portrays incredible ignorance, and through that, perpetuates the racism I assume he disavows. The “Jena Six” symbolize how racist U.S. society continues to be. Simplifying the situation in Jena to a bunch of black students beating up a white kid is a twisting of the truth worthy of Bill O’Reilly and Fox News. When black students in Jena decided to sit under the “white” tree for lunch, nooses were strung up the next day. Those responsible were dismissed as “pranksters,” but when black students protested, the Louisiana District Attorney threatened to “ruin their lives” with a stroke of his pen. That weekend, a young black man gets beat up at a party by white students. Next, a white man threatens black students with his gun, and was never held responsible. Instead, the black man who wrestled the gun away in self-defense was charged with theft. How does it reason that young black men (tired of being pushed around) who beat up a white student are charged, not with assault or battery, but with conspiracy and attempted second-degree manslaughter? On top of this, the trials are being held by all-white juries selected from all-white jury

pools. This is no justice but Jim Crow justice. Of course Seven Days has every right to print this comic, but if they truly want to be an alternative news source, they should read up on the issues before printing thoughtless articles, editorials or cartoons. Nicholas Parrish BURLINGTON

GENERAL BETRAYAL MoveOn.org’s ad “General Petraeus or General Betray Us?” accuses the general of “Cooking the Books for the Whitehouse” and claims that he is “a military man constantly at war with the facts.” Predictably, the White House and right-wing Bush supporters are feigning outrage. “Like the men he commands, (Petraeus) is risking his life to protect our freedoms here at home,” Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney wrote on the National Review blog, “The Corner.” While it’s true that our soldiers are risking their lives in Iraq, they are not fighting for “our freedoms here at home.” The tragic fact is that the men and women who joined the U.S. military with the honorable intention of defending American freedom are being misled by a dishonorable commander in chief who is actively engaged in the destruction of our civil liberties. Our soldiers are fighting and dying for a president whose attacks on our freedom since 9/11 include illegal surveillance conducted inside the U.S. by the Pentagon, illegal wiretappings, and FBI agents engaging in illegal calltracking efforts that violated the privacy of millions of Americans. They’re fighting and dying for a president who has eliminated the writ of habeas corpus, which is the main protection against an abusive government. Our soldiers are fighting and dying for a president whose only goal is to keep them fighting and dying until he can toss the remains of his ignoble war into the lap of his successor. Has the general betrayed us? “Ask the infantry and ask the dead.” Walter F. Wouk COBLESKILL, NY

CORRECTIONS • In a story that ran in last week’s issue [“Hawks and Doves Flock Together at Norwich Peace Conference,” September 26], Seven Days incorrectly spelled Norwich University President Dr. Richard W. Schneider’s last name. Also, the university is not the oldest military academy in the country. It is the oldest private military college. • In a recent “Inside Track” column [“The Pollina Possibility,” September 19] Seven Days incorrectly identified Gen. David Petraeus. He is commander of the multinational forces in Iraq.

As her father approached death, Carina Driscoll grew determined to develop the woodworking skills he had taught her “in a limited way.” David Driscoll, who died last year at age 59, had learned the trade from his own father, a finish carpenter in New York City. Carina became an apprentice to Vermont master craftsman Robert Fletcher with the aim of carrying on this family legacy. She says she viewed woodworking as “the thing my father would leave with me that I could have all my life.” Under Fletcher’s tutelage, Driscoll, 33, built a set of kitchen cabinets for the Burlington home she shares with her partner, Blake Ewoldsen, 35, and their 3-year-old son, Cole. But that proved to be just the start of Driscoll’s commitment to the craft. Along with Ewoldsen and Fletcher, she has become a co-owner of a woodworking shop and school near Costco in Colchester. The trio plans to make this 3000-squarefoot facility, previously occupied by the Dynastar ski company, “the No. 1 resource for woodworking in Vermont,” Ewoldsen says.

The airy, well-lighted space is already equipped with every machine and tool a woodworker might need. When prospective furniture makers “come here and see what we have, they kind of freak out,” Ewoldsen says while showing off lathes, several types of saws, a 20-foot-long sander and separate rooms where finishes are applied and works-in-progress are stored. The Vermont Woodworking School now has 15 dues-paying members who take classes with Fletcher or use the equipment to complete their own projects, which aren’t limited to tables, chairs and bookcases. An Essex insurance man, for example, is crafting cradles for his grandchildren. And musically inclined members have used the shop to shape guitars and didgeridoos. Everyone who takes the $295, eight-week introductory course learns to build a maple nightstand, Ewoldsen notes. The school also offers advanced classes to those “interested in devoting a significant part of their lives to woodworking,” he adds. Not surprisingly, there’s a political dimension to this en-

deavor for Driscoll, a stepdaughter of Bernie Sanders and a former Burlington city councilor and state representative. She sees an insecure future for woodworking in Vermont, even though hundreds, if not thousands, of state residents currently make money from the trade, with many more practicing it as a hobby. “It would be easy for woodmaking businesses to continue to move to China,” Driscoll says — especially since the governor is encouraging Vermont entrepreneurs to seek opportunities there. But the state actually plays “a dual and kind of contradictory role,” Driscoll adds. She notes that some state agencies are collaborating with the Vermont Woodworking School to preserve and propagate the craft. The three owners are undertaking their own initiatives as well. Last weekend, Fletcher and Driscoll attended the annual Vermont Woodworking Festival in — where else? — Woodstock, where, she reports, “there was a lot of interest and support for what we’re doing here. People really do want this to succeed.” >

FILM

Vermont Filmmaker Captures Candidates — and Maybe Criminals BY MARGOT HARRISON

Nathan Beaman is a guy with a camera who gets around. He’s edited raw footage of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Anna Nicole Smith. He just got back from “sweating [his] butt off” at the Oakland A’s spring training camp in Arizona, where he worked on a “Dominican baseball movie” from the creators of acclaimed indie Half Nelson. And he’s currently in negotiations with a serial killer. It’s hard to believe the 26year-old Burlington resident is only a few years out of Burlington College. Since earning his BA, Beaman’s taken film and commercial work where he could find it. Things really took off last March, though, when he posted his reel 2x8-UVMTheater091907.indd 1

9/13/07 12:08:31 PM

— a montage of footage he shot on various projects — on the Internet. “Within a week I had 30,000 to 40,000 downloads,” Beaman says. Some people asked him for shooting tips; others offered jobs, most of them out of state. And his one-man company, Urban Rhino Visual, got very busy. “I’ve had about four days off in the past two years,” Beaman says. It’s not hard to see why: Beaman’s reel is full of sumptuous colors and tricky lighting effects. But he doesn’t just shoot film; he cuts it. One of his big editing jobs was David Giancola’s Illegal Aliens. Another is a series of web videos called “Walk a Day in My Shoes,” sponsored by the Ser-

vice Employees National Union (SEIU). Each short film features a Democratic presidential candidate shadowing an SEIU member. Clinton visits patients with a nurse; Obama mops floors with a homecare aide; Joe Biden finds out if he could hack it as a janitor. Beaman has seen the candidates in candid moments — “a lot of really great stuff that I’m sure ‘The Daily Show’ would kill for,” he says, chuckling. But he doesn’t have much time to reflect on it, because the videos, shot by Montpelier filmmaker Peter Kent of Cyclops Productions, have to be ready to submit to the candidates’ lawyers in just five hours.

When Michael DeSanto and Renée Reiner announced their plans to open Phoenix Books in the Essex Shoppes and Cinema later this month, the headline was inevitable — and Publishers Weekly got there first. “Phoe-

writer Archer Mayor have formed a publishing company that is in the process of re-releasing Mayor’s first 12 books of detective fiction. The Book Rack’s demise left greater Burlington with only one sizeable independent seller of new

nix Rises to Replace The Book Rack,” the venerable industry publication trumpeted on September 25. Its 300-word article testifies to the fact that, with well-loved indie bookstores closing all over the country, the arrival of each new one is an event. DeSanto and Reiner are no strangers to the business. They owned The Book Rack & Children’s Pages from 1995, when the store was still located in Winooski’s Champlain Mill, to 2003, when they sold it to thenAssistant Manager Elaine Sopchak. Sopchak closed the store last March and has been providing marketing assistance to a number of local authors, including Howard Frank Mosher, Marjorie Ryerson and Rusty DeWees. She and Newfane

books: The Flying Pig in Shelburne. Since selling The Book Rack, DeSanto says in a phone interview, he’s turned his efforts outside the literary realm, coaching competitive runners and “dabbl[ing] in an art gallery that didn’t make it. It never occurred to me to go back into books,” he continues. “But with the closing of The Book Rack, we decided that would be the way to go. I can only report anecdotally, but we had heard that the people in the community were really missing it. I think there’s a tendency in life today not to really treasure what we have until we don’t have it anymore.” But a new store also meant a new business strategy. DeSanto says he made a conscious decision not to

the-art equipment, “I’m pulling the footage from the camera as [Kent] shoots,” Beaman explains. The short films, available on YouTube, have had a “really great response,” Beaman says. There’s talk of doing a second series with the Republican candidates; meanwhile, the Clinton campaign has contacted Beaman “about doing some stuff for them directly.” But Beaman has plans to expand beyond his work as a hired gun. In September, the Vermont Arts Council gave him a $3000 Creation Grant to help fund his planned documentary about Arthur Shawcross, also known as the Genesee River Killer. Shawcross murdered 10 pros-

titutes in Rochester, New York, between 1988 and 1990 — after he served 15 years for killing two children in Watertown, Beaman’s hometown. Beaman says he plans to focus on “the pattern in Shawcross’ life — how the judicial system failed so many times and, in essence, created this monster.” Growing up, he heard stories from friends’ older siblings about the killer, “small-town folklore kind of stuff.” Currently, Beaman has the New York prison system’s permission to interview Shawcross, but not yet that of the killer himself, who wants remuneration — something the state’s “Son of Sam” law forbids. That won’t stop Beaman. He hopes to get more

replicate the family-focused Book Rack. Instead the store will aim at a demographic he thinks may be under-served: “baby boomers” aged 40 to 65. To appeal to a more metropolitan crowd, Phoenix will not have a “cottage-y kind of grandmother atmosphere,” as DeSanto puts it. Instead, the store will have a café that serves espresso drinks, juices, teas and wine — “no soda!” he specifies. Nearby Sweet Clover Market will provide light, “tapas-style” fare. DeSanto told Publishers Weekly, “We will be a community bookstore.” How that will look is still “a work in progress,” he explains to Seven Days, but one component is a lively program of readings and events. He likes the idea of bringing in “authors involved in public discussion of issues today,” creating a public forum similar to The New York Times’ speaker series TimesTalks. “I want people to see the store as a place where they can go and talk and eat and issues will be alive inside the store,” DeSanto says. > Phoenix Books is located in the Essex Shoppes and Cinema between Carter’s and Vermont Toy and Hobby. The owners plan a soft opening next Saturday and an open house on Saturday, October 20, from 4 to 8 p.m. with samples of their offerings of food and wine.

producers for the film and start shooting in November in Watertown, he says. “I’m trying to track down surviving victims, get police and archival news footage.” Yet another project in Beaman’s hopper is a narrative film he’s scripted, a “World War II Anne Frank-ish type piece” about a German boy and Jewish girl who fall in love. For the moment, though, he’s focused on trying to work closer to home, so he can spend time with his 10-month-old daughter. Does he have any advice for others trying to break into the film industry? “Nothing’s ever below you,” Beaman says. “Do anything anyone asks you to do and learn something from it.” >

Curses, Foiled Again Mario

Technicalities After serving 20 years for shooting a police officer while committing a burglary in 1966, William Barnes, 71, was charged with murder when the victim died in August. Philadelphia’s deputy medical examiner labeled the death a homicide, blaming a fatal infection on the gunshot wound that left Officer Walden T. Barclay paralyzed for 41 years. “I turned my life around,” Barnes wrote in a letter to the editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer from his “hot, humid, dingy cell here at Graterford Prison,” pointing out, “This time, I feel that I am a victim of circumstance.”

Orlikoff, 49, was sitting in a car outside a bank, police in Gloucester, Va., said, when Christina Finney drove by with her family and thought he looked suspicious. “He had on a hat, a tweed jacket and big sunglasses. It was too hot for what he had on,” she told the Newport News Daily Press. “I thought, ‘That’s a disguise. He looks like he’s going to rob the bank.’” Moments later, she spotted him through the drive-up window holding up a teller. Finney called police while she, her husband and three children followed Orlikoff’s getaway car. At one point, she said, he “slowed down to 25 miles an hour to obey the speed limit.” Police took up the chase, which ended after Orlikoff abandoned his car when his pursuers

as well as ruptured eardrums and broken jaws. “It’s going to hit where it’s going to hit, but once it contacts metal, the metal conducts the electricity,” Dr. Mary Ann Cooper of the American College of Emergency Physicians told the Associated Press. Michael Utley, a former stockbroker from West Yarmouth, Mass., who survived being struck by lightning while golfing, has tracked 13 cases since 2004 of people hit while talking on cell phones (www.struckby lightning.org).

Rage of the Week Angry at being mocked as a “nerd” over the Internet, Navy Fire Controlman 2nd Class Petty Officer Russell Tavares drove 1300 miles from Virginia to Texas to confront his taunter and burned down the other man’s trailer. The feud began when John G. Anderson, who runs a haunted house outside Waco, posted online views that irked Tavares, whose screen name was “PyroDice.” The two argued back and forth until Tavares obtained Anderson’s name and address from the Museum of Horrors Haunted House website and headed for Texas. Authorities said he threw a piece of gasoline-soaked plastic foam into the back of Anderson’s mobile home and lit a flare. “I didn’t think anybody was stupid enough to try to kill somebody over an Internet fight,” said Anderson, who the Associated Press reported planned to spend $30,000 to surround his home with fencing topped with barbed wire. “Before this happened,” he pointed out, “the rule was: Nobody messes with the haunted house guy.”

on Leonardo Molina, 29, in Argentina’s San Luis province, the emergency surgery continued with light from cell phone screens. “The generator, which should have been working correctly, didn’t work,” a hospital official told La Nacion newspaper. “A family member got some cell phones together from people in the hallway and took them to provide light.” • Emergency physicians report a jump in patients needing treatment for burns from freak accidents while using personal electronic devices, such as beepers, Walkman players and laptop computers, outdoors during storms.

He added that confiscated videotape shows the animals being nailed to a wooden board, stabbed repeatedly and decapitated while Farrell and her 42-year-old husband engaged in sex acts. Farrell did not give any other motivation besides what was obvious on the video, Smith said, adding, “She said they were sexual fantasies.” • Verle Peter Dills, 60, was arrested in Sioux Falls, S.D., with evidence indicating that his hobby is setting up a camera in public places and having sex with road signs. “We don’t know how long he’s been doing this,” Police official Loren McManus said.

He said he stole the car so he could drive to nearby Geneva to turn himself in there.

the straight dope

With Talk Like a Pirate Day still fresh in memory and Halloween coming up, now seems a reasonable time to clear some pirate questions off the books. Next week we’ll discuss other piratical behavior; today we’ll stick to Jimmy’s concerns. Did pirates ever bury treasure? It’d be strange if not — everyone else was doing it. For much of human history, if you had some covetable stuff you hoped to hang onto, couldn’t or didn’t want to put it in a bank or the equivalent, and owned a shovel, burial was Plan A. (That’s why, for instance, rural Britons still find pots of long-buried Roman coins.) Those who’d obtained their valuables under sketchy circumstances — say, while holding a cutlass to the previous owner’s throat — were only more likely, I’d imagine, to employ such DIY security measures. As one obvious requirement for this practice is a burial site that others aren’t likely to stumble on but you yourself can find again, it makes sense that pirates, who as seafarers dealt with maps regularly, might jot down reminders of where they left the goods. But it’s tough to prove they did. Another element crucial to burying treasure is the need to keep the whole business squarely on the QT. For this reason or another (maybe simply a reluctance to let loot out of one’s sight), the history shelves contain few solid cases where pirates buried treasure, and practically none involving maps. Privateer Sir Francis Drake is known to have buried the proceeds after raiding a mule train in Panama, for instance, but he left guards behind and didn’t stay away long. A rogue English captain named Stratton buried six chests of silver near the mouth of the York River in Chesapeake Bay, but an associate turned him in before he could recover it. John Rackham (nom de piraterie: Calico Jack) once buried some plunder on a Caribbean island, but no one mentions his making a map, or even a return trip. Though it’s not where the premise first appeared, Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island was instrumental in planting the treasure map concept in the popular consciousness. Some suggest a model for the title locale was Cocos Island, off Costa Rica’s Pacific shore; discovered in 1526 and noted for its coconuts, the island became a stopover for merchantmen, naval ships and pirates. Cocos lore is bursting with primo

pirate-story material: several vast hoards, vividly described and valued today in the high nine figures, that supposedly were buried there circa 1820 by captains William Thompson, Bennett Graham, and (my favorite) Benito Bonito; deathbed instructions from the principals on how to retrieve the stuff; cryptic diagrams etched into boulders; and so on. Efforts to locate the treasure, though, turned up nothing. An 1850s expedition brought along one Mary Welch, who’d sailed with Graham and had a map purportedly showing the site of his trove. Key landmarks, however, had apparently disappeared in the intervening decades, and the search came up dry. The pirate most associated with buried treasure is probably the 17th-century captain William Kidd. With the authorities in pursuit, Kidd left chests containing 100 pounds of gold and silver plus other precious sundries with a guy named Gardiner, who reputedly interred it on an island he owned off Long Island’s eastern end. After Kidd was jailed in Boston in 1699, Governor Bellomont of Massachusetts Colony tracked the booty down, though its recovery was hardly the stuff of legend: he tricked Kidd into admitting Gardiner’s involvement, then applied mild pressure to Gardiner, who folded. The haul turned out to be worth the equivalent of $4.2 million today. Kidd was said to have buried more elsewhere, and in later years alleged Kidd maps surfaced on occasion, but at least one was exposed as a fake; anyway none panned out. In 1945 a buried-treasure find was covered in the Chicago Tribune, though admittedly the article is pure stenography, relating the protagonist’s account without a scrap of independent evidence. (Here I considered a dig at 1945 journalistic standards, but recalling pivotal WMD reportage I thought: nah.) It’s a good story, though: While gathering book material, writer Edward Rowe Snow heard (from a source who soon died mysteriously) about treasure left by a pirate turned lighthouse keeper in Boston Harbor. Hidden in an abandoned house on a harbor island he found an old volume written in Italian. A rare-books librarian noticed pinpricks marking certain words, which proved to convey coded directions to a Cape Cod site; there with metal detector and spade Snow finally unearthed a small chest of antique coins worth (then) about $2000. No fortune, but more than anyone got from that Oak Island debacle covered here a while back.

soft-spoken man with a French accent had reserved me for an airport pickup. His destination was Hinesburg, where he was picking up a used Toyota he’d bought on the Internet. I had almost turned down the call due to my policy on airport pickups: If the fare isn’t going out of town, I decline. Meeting a customer arriving on a plane entails a significant amount of time. If the fare doesn’t pay well — let’s say, at least $40 — it’s just not worth it, and I politely advise the person to grab the first cab on the airport taxi queue. Hinesburg was borderline, according to this standard, but it was a slow afternoon, and, well, I liked the guy’s voice. This illustrates how strict my policies are — not exactly etched in stone. At the arrival gate, I held up a sign reading “Sekou.” I was unsure whether this was the man’s first or last name — or maybe it was like Cher, or Madonna. As the passengers wandered in, a man in a tailored, dove-gray suit over

His skin color was quite dark, and the name immediately made more sense: The man was most likely from West Africa, where the French established colonies. “Mr. Sekou?” I asked, extending a hand. “I’m Jernigan and I’ll be driving you to Hinesburg.” “Just Sekou, please,” he said, completing the handshake. “Thank you for meeting me.” Sekou carried only a small bag for what I gathered would be a day trip. I love that, because it means no standing around at the luggage belt. We walked together to my waiting taxi, embarked, and zoomed off. We glided onto Kennedy Drive, which is now a dream come true for drivers — four wide lanes, everything exquisitely marked. Granted, it took the Egyptians less time to build the pyramids, but in my book the splendid final result justifies the long wait. I glanced over at my seatmate and said, “So, Sekou, you came up from Jersey, do I got that right?” As an ex-New Yorker, I still tend to excise the “New” — one of the many subtle and not-so-

I watched my customer gazing out at the soft hills, the green fields and the occasional sorority of meandering Holsteins. As we neared the village of Hinesburg, he said, “I really like this place.

And what’s that feeling?” Sekou paused and seemed carefully to consider the question. Then he smiled as the answer came to him. He said, “It’s the feeling of peace. Vermont has that, and so does my African village.” >

<WINTER SPORTS>

Blades of Glory Nordic skating has crossed the chilly North Atlantic and set up shop in Vermont

inter outdoor enthusiasts, brace yourself for a bit of a downer: It doesn’t snow in Vermont as much as it used to. VPIRG pegs the decrease at 15 percent since the 1950s, and temperatures have been STORY on the rise. But even when the hills are KIRK like brown elephants in January, nearby KARDASHIAN lakes and rivers are usually frozen. Four words describe a sport that thrives on IMAGES the simple equation of winter = ice: C O U R T E S Y O F cross-country iceskating. JAMIE Also known as Nordic skating or HESS tour skating, the activity is best differentiated from old-fashioned American pond skating by its equipment. Nordic skaters wear cross-country ski boots (skate-ski boots are best) that attach to skate-ski bindings mounted on a blade of hardened steel 15 to 19 inches long. There are two basic methods: “trail skating,” which you do on a path plowed on the ice with an ATV, and “wild skating,” which knows no bounds but ice thickness. But where are you going to find all that frozen water? Vermont, it turns out, is one of the best places in the country to be a Nordic skater, since it’s predictably cold and has large expanses of ice on Lake Champlain and the Connecticut River, not to mention lakes Willoughby, Memphremagog, Morey and Fairlee. And if some local tourism promoters have their way, Nordic skating could soon become to winter on “the West Coast of New England” what wind surfing is to the summer. Like any fringe sport, Nordic skating in the U.S. has its guru. Jamie Hess wouldn’t describe himself that way, but the fact is indisputable. The 53-year-old Norwich resident owns a shop there called The Nordic Skater. He’s the main importer and distributor of Nordic skating equipment in North America, publishes an email ice report, and organizes tours and clinics. Hess has alert, enthusiastic eyes in a sun-creased face, attesting to all the time he spends outdoors as a biker, runner, skier and skater. Sitting on a settee too formal for the occasion, in the living room of the Norwich Inn, Hess will happily talk Nordic skating for hours. He’s full of

W

facts and figures and trivia about the sport. “Centuries ago,” he explains, “when people didn’t have time for frivolous recreational activities, skating was a form of transportation and way to get out to your hunting grounds in the winter.” Like skiing, he goes on, skating probably originated in northern Europe, where it was first accomplished by strapping sharpened cattle bones to prehistoric feet swaddled in animal-skin moccasins. Northern Europe is where Nordic skating stayed for thousands of years. Today it’s a competitive sport, like Nordic skiing or even a winterized sister of bike racing: Skaters travel upwards of 200 kilometers in a day, clad in Spandex bearing the sublimated graphics of sponsors. In terms of effort and speed, Nordic skating most closely resembles biking — athletes can move at 20 miles per hour, or even faster with the wind at their backs. Hess discovered the sport for himself in Sweden in 1999. All it took was one dismal winter for the avid cross-country skier to realize there’s always good ice, even when there’s no snow. In fact, Nordic skaters prefer a minimum of snow — it means smooth gliding and no plowing. “In a way,” Hess says, “the success of the sport around here has been made possible by global warming.” Fifty years ago, it would have been almost impossible to keep the ice clear. Linda Howes, 51, learned about Nordic skating through Hess two years ago, and she had similar reasons for giving it a try. “Our winters have been kind of iffy,” she says. “We’ve been missing those really good snowfalls.” A nutritionist who lives near Lake Sunapee in New Hampshire, Howes likes to keep active year-round, and she found Nordic skating was a “way of making friends with winter when there isn’t any good snow.” Before trying the sport, Howes was a cross-country skier with bad memories of iceskating as a kid — her skates were uncomfortable, cold and unsupportive. That all changed with Nordic skating, she says. No longer must you sit on the shore of a cold, windswept lake and urge frozen fingers to tie laces. Since

you can drive and walk in skate-ski boots, you can put them on in a warm place and click into the blades in a matter of seconds, without taking off your gloves. Howes and Hess both describe the boots as warm and supportive, enabling skaters to stay outside for hours in comfort. That’s all well and good, but what about safety? Skating on thin ice may be a cliché, but literally speaking, no one wants to take a swim in 32-degree water. Nordic skaters aren’t keen on an impromptu dip, but some are more cavalier about it than others. Hence, the definition of a “safe” thickness of ice “depends,” says Hess, “on if you’re Swedish or American or something else.” Swedes, he explains, will skate on

THE PALISADES

ice an inch-and-a-half thick, carrying a backpack with a sealed compartment containing dry clothes. For them, falling through the ice is practically a sport in itself: “They brag about how many times they fell through,” Hess relates. In the U.S., thickness standards are a little tougher, but not much — about 2-and-a-half inches on lakes, and 3 to 4 inches on rivers. As a precautionary measure, skaters wear special ice picks — plastic handles with steel tips — that hang from a necklace and can be used to hoist oneself from the water. For even better protection, they often carry Nordic skating poles to test the ice thickness. The poles look like burly cross-country skiing poles with no bas-

kets. The test is simple: Jam the carbide tip into the ice; if the pole goes through, skate somewhere else. The color of the ice is also a hint: Black ice has few air bubbles and is the safest; white or gray ice has lots of air bubbles and is more apt to soften on a warm day. Safety, however, is only a concern for “wild” skaters, since an area that’s been plowed by an ATV can surely hold a couple of people. Currently, only one body of water in Vermont has a regularly plowed path for

Nordic skating: Lake Morey, in the Upper Connecticut River Valley just off I-91. Hess says the 2-mile-long path is a great place for beginners to learn the sport, since the conditions are predictable and other skaters are likely to be around. But Lake Champlain is set to be the next hub of Nordic skating activity, thanks to a combined effort of the Lake Champlain Islands Chamber of Commerce, Burlington nonprofit Local Motion, Hero’s Welcome General Store and, of course, Jamie Hess. Last year, the Chamber of Commerce got a “Creative Communities” grant from the Vermont Council on Rural Development, one goal of which was to develop business opportunities in the islands’ off season. The grant committee brainstormed, says Ruth Wallman, director of the Chamber, and concluded that “what we have up here is ice, and lots of it.” All that thinking spawned a February event with a catchy name: Great Ice in Grand Isle. More than 300 people showed up at City Bay, in front of Hero’s Welcome, where Brian Costello of Local Motion plowed a half-mile-long path. Hess brought up a vanload of demo equipment and turned the hibernating island into a bustling ice carnival. Given the turnout at last season’s event, all the players are excited to offer Nordic skating again this year. Wallman says the Chamber may organize a trek through the Alburgh Passage, while Costello, a long-time iceboater and recent Nordic skating convert, is scheming up ways to make the perfect path with a custom-crafted outdoor Zamboni. His plan is still in the concept phase, but may involve “an extra-large, industrial-size snowblower” with a sweeper behind it. Costello is also checking into ground-penetrating radar, which would allow the operator to determine the thickness of the ice more precisely — essential when maneuvering a giant snowblower over a fragile surface. Yet more ideas include making a second plowed path on Malletts Bay — protected from the wind, it’s one of the first areas to freeze — and offering a shuttle service from Burlington to the islands when the conditions are good. “It’s kind of a ‘build-it-andthey-will-come’ effort,” Costello says optimistically. Snowblowers and plowed paths will help encourage newcomers to the sport and the islands. But for most Nordic skaters, wild skating is where it’s at. Linda Howes recalls a tour last year from the Basin Harbor to the Palisades and up the New York shoreline. “It was one of the most exhilarating days I’ve ever had on the ice,” she says. “We saw a bald eagle, we saw a peregrine falcon; there were ice climbers on the Palisades; we saw fish through the ice . . . It was just stunning.” �

t’s tough getting into the winter sledding state of mind when it’s 80 degrees outside, most of the leaves are still on the trees and I’m dripping with sweat, even in shorts and a T-shirt. But as I hoof it up the west side of Prickly Mountain in Warren, the sledding potential of this wooded glade comes into mental focus. Soon, it’s clear why Whitney Phillips, the 28-year-old president of the Mad River Rocket sled company and an extreme-sports enthusiast, dragged me up here: to show off a deep, 0.4-mile-long half-pipe naturally carved into the side of the mountain.

“This is the gulley,� Phillips announces proudly, as though he had dug it himself over his summer vacation. “When it gets buried in snow, this is where it’s at. This is the fun stuff.� Indeed. It doesn’t take much effort to imagine how “freesledding� junkies — a relatively new winter sport linked to the short, maneuverable Rocket sleds — will put this terrain to good use once it’s blanketed with several feet of snow. There are plenty of rock ledges and cliffs to launch 360s, back flips and barrel rolls. Downed logs as long as tour buses jut out of the

HILLSIDE GUIDE There are plenty of slopes in Vermont, but not all of them are suitable for sledding. So where do you find downhill action for your Mad River Rocket — or your battered inner tube, or cheap plastic sled? Try some of these popular public sledding hills. We asked around the office, made a few phone calls, and consulted the online sledding guide at www.hammerheadsled.com to find them. We can’t guarantee these hills are 100 percent safe, but we can tell you that this is where the locals go. Slide and glide at your own risk. Sites are free unless otherwise noted. Check out the Seven Days website — www.sevendaysvt.com — to see these sites on a map. If we missed your favorite spot, let us know, and we’ll add it to the Hillside Guide. 1. Burlington Country Club: You don’t have to be a member to ride down the moderately steep hill near the clubhouse. 2. Callahan Park, Burlington: There are two small hills, one steep and one not so steep, near Christ the King Elementary School. 3. Landry Park, Winooski: This moderately steep, kid-friendly hill overlooks the baseball fields. 4. Hard’Ack, St. Albans: You can also ski, snowshoe and skate on an outdoor rink at this municipally owned recreation area. 5. Mount Philo, Charlotte: The road to the top is closed to traffic in the winter, which means it’s open for sledding. Lots of twists and turns on the long ride down. 6. Rocky Ridge Golf Course, St. George: There’s a long, straight slope close to the clubhouse. 7. La Platte Nature Park, Shelburne: This kid-friendly bunny hill is located behind the Shelburne Post Office, with lots of parking nearby. 8. Casey Hill, Underhill: Be careful on this popular but very steep slope, located at the intersection of Mountain and Pleasant Valley Roads. Not for the faint of heart. 9. Ralph Myhre Golf Course, Middlebury: There are a few slopes to choose from — one features a sharp turn to the left that makes it a challenge. 10. BFA-Fairfax: There’s a moderately steep hill behind the elementary school that the kids use during recess. Not a great place to go on school days. 11. Catamount Outdoor Family Center, Williston: Slide down their groomed sledding hill after an afternoon of skiing, snowshoeing or ice skating. Trail fees at this outdoor park run $15, but sledding is just $2 each for all ages. 12. Marshall Hill, Stowe: If you rent a sled at Umiak Outfitters, they’ll send you to this steep hill behind the elementary school, near Jackson Ice Arena. 13. Cobble Hill, Milton: Sledding is only safe on part of this 300-foot vertical slope, but a skilled rider could tackle the whole thing, depending on conditions. There are no facilities yet, but owner Rick Sharp plans to build a barn with a snack bar and bathrooms by 2009. If the gate is closed, you’re still welcome. Park outside and hike in. 14. Lincoln Gap Road, between Lincoln and Warren: The road is closed to cars and trucks all winter long, but serious sledders hike more than a mile up and ride down. Beware the precipitous drops and hairpin turns. Approach from the Warren side. CATHY RESMER

During the upcoming season, the park will be open for limited use; only Rocket sleds will be allowed on the hill. When Prickly Mountain opens to the public in 2009, it will likely be restricted to organized groups and invited guests.

Moreover, Phillips says that the popularity of YouTube has led to other teens producing similar videos, which have only boosted the Rocket’s international appeal. “Nobody’s paying these kids to do it; they just do it,” Phillips notes. “Then I call them up and say, ‘Do you guys want some free sleds?’ And they’re like, ‘You’re damn right!’” As a result, Phillips has been able to phase out his national sales force in favor of 10, eight-member teams — from Alaska to California to Colorado to Vermont — who shoot most of the videos and spread the gospel about freesledding. This year, the company’s pre-season orders are up 15 percent over last year; the American-made sleds, made of 100 percent recycled plastic, are now being sold in Canada and Japan. The Rocket’s increasing global popularity hasn’t dimin-

That said, Phillips emphasizes that the sled park idea isn’t driven entirely by self-interest. The long-term goal is to create a model for other environmentally friendly sled parks sans big-footprint lodges, clear-cut trails or high-speed lifts. Most of the wood logged this fall will be used for building mini warming huts and other modest improvements on the property. This winter, Phillips says they’ll use an environmentally friendlier snowmobile with a trailer attached to shuttle riders up to the top of the half-mile, 1211-vertical-foot slope. Eventually, he hopes to bring in an old VW Bug engine powered on veggie oil to run a small lift or rope tow. Since the goal is to keep the park as close to nature as possible, that means no Snowcats or artificial snowmaking. “The cliffs are what I’m really stoked about,” Phillips says, eyeballing the steep hillside. “Now all we need is a lot of snow this year.” �

Hibernal ellow leaves light up the evening with their yellow prayer which I fold into the thin dress of myself. Late autumn being the attar of least resistance, as I am made of this falling and that rising. As I am turned by the turning. Here the scenery means souls travel in packs. And here the scenery reveals a certain illumination that is grosgrained into me — directions for sleeping and dreaming. A faith so simple it gently anoints my feet. A faith so clean it scrubs everything into a pure blankness. I dreamt of God for seven days. Seven nights and days, expanding into a densely packed silence in early snow, sparse and white in which a single sorrow sang: All rest and unrest derive from illusion. The edges of dream in me. Their oceanlike lapping one kind of this faith. For staring out windows, I was called lazy. Deep into the frozen lake, fish do not dream, but are frozen to exist until spring. Let each pain and cloud approximate distances. Let now be the four-cornered table at which I sit. Birds and monarchs dispersing — They are like dreams or flowers in the air: Foolish to grasp them. — By Elizabeth Powell (From The Republic of Self, New Issues Poetry & Prose, Western Michigan University, 2001)

Drills for the Hills How top Vermont skiers and riders get in shape for the season

W STORY

SARAH TUFF IMAGES

hether you ride one plank or two, fat powder skis, skinny cross-country skis or climbing skis for earning your own turns, you know that skiing and snowboarding require a tuneup of the body along with the boards. So Seven Days asked some of the Green Mountains’ greatest how they get buff for the white stuff.

JEB John Egan, WALLACESugarbush Adventure Learning BRODEUR

Center Director, Moretown, 49 “Skiing’s a motion sport — there’s nothing stagnant about it. Running the Long Trail is great. I look for rocks, logs and other terrain differences to jump off or over so that I can work on my foot-eye coordination. I’m also on my mountain bike three times a week, and I’m a big fan of dirt bikes. And I usually ski somewhere in the southern hemisphere in August. This year it was Chile.” Donna Weinbrecht, Olympic gold-medaling moguls skier, Killington, 42 “For moguls skiing, everything is an explosion: plyometrics and intervals with harder and shorter recoveries. In the summer I like to swim — I mix it with running for my cardio. When I run, I might only go 3 miles, but I’m trying to do 2 minutes at maximum and then rest. You also want to work on your abs; that’s where your power and balance comes from. And for moguls skiing, you feel like you’re doing squats all the way down the mountain, so you have to focus on your back, too.”

Andy Newell, U.S. Cross-Country Ski Team, Shaftsbury, 23 “For fitness, I do VO2 max intervals of rollerskiing or uphill running two to three days a week, with a 30minute warm-up, four 7-minute intervals just above threshold, five minutes of recovery between intervals and a 20-minute cool down. For strength, it’s 20 minutes of plyometrics, plus Russian dead lifts, weighted pull-ups, explosive pull-ups and 30 minutes of working on the core with a medicine ball.” Brian Mohr, skier and photographer, Moretown, 32 “Never stop skiing — head to the Arctic, then to South America, and then you can come back East. Otherwise, we get out into the woods three or four times a week; my favorite thing is to pretend that the woods are full of snow and we’re skiing. By twisting and banking and jumping and running around the trails, you really work all the little muscles and maneuvers and recoveries you experience when you’re skiing. We swim like crazy, in the Mad River and ponds and lakes. And surfing is

the ultimate training for skiing. There’s nothing that gets us closer to the feeling of sliding down the face of a snow-covered mountain than the act of sliding across the face of a breaking ocean wave.” Asia Magriby, U.S. Freeskiing Champion & Jay Peak Resort spokesperson, St. Bruno, Québec, 31 “I just delivered my second boy, Logan, so I’m not really in training yet. But a usual fall schedule for me would be going to the gym twice a

week for an hourlong spin class to strengthen the legs and butt for the ski season, and then twice a week doing a one-hour boot-camp class. It’s circuit training that works the anaerobic capacity and builds muscle with lunges, squats, push-ups, jump roping and ab exercises. I was also doing at least one yoga and then one Pilates class to make sure that my core was strengthened. A weekend activity was hiking Jay. I felt really great and strong for the ski season.”

Yale Cousino, Burton Snowboarding Team, Lincoln, 24 “To get in shape for the season, I go to the gym every day and ride my bike.” Rachael Miller, founder of Stormboarding, Burlington, 36 “I road bike as long as I can keep my fingers and toes warm. Inside, I like to do a Pilates-inspired workout that starts with light aerobic bits and pieces followed by floor work with an

emphasis on core, legs and some upper body. We also worked with Geoff Regan at Poulin Performance to put together an excellent presnowkite-season, three-month program with weights and the stability ball — you can see some of the workouts at www.stormboarding.com. From all this, last year I had more longevity on the slopes and no sore stomach muscles on the first day of jumping with the kite.” Doug Lewis, 1984/1988 Olympian and Sugarbush Race director, Fayston, 43 “My favorite thing is to run up Sugarbush. I run up the mountain once a week alternating between Mount Ellen (record: 39 minutes) and Lincoln Peak (36 minutes). I run the work roads. Not only is it a great cardio workout, as your heart rate hovers right at anaerobic threshold, but also your legs get wicked strong. Even the downhill portion works the legs. I love being up on the ridge of the Green Mountains, breathing the fresh air and enjoying the awesome views.” Hannah Kearney, U.S. Freestyle Ski Team, Norwich, 21 “I get in shape the old-fashioned way: by following a difficult program balanced with running, weight lifting, sprints, cardio, yoga, Pilates, core work, hikes, bikes, tennis and cardio.” Chris Rotax, Burton Snowboarding Team, Monkton, 22 “Around the fall I like to fill up truckloads of snow from the local hockey rinks and practice snowboarding on rails at my house in Monkton. I also do a lot of leg work at the gym and eat healthily.” Liz Stephen, U.S. Cross-Country Ski Team, East Montpelier, 20 “One of my favorite gym exercises is a push-up, pull-up routine in which you do a certain amount of push-ups and then hop right up to the bar for pullups. Start with low reps until it gets easier, adding a set each week or so: five push-ups, three pull-ups; six push-ups, four pull-ups, etc. Core stability is key when you’re [skate-skiing] or striding out classic skiing. Lie down with your back on a foam roller with your arms out and your lower abs tucked in, keeping your back flat along the roller. Then lift each leg, one at a time, into the air; hold it and bring it down.” David Babic, U.S. Freestyle Ski Team, Washington, 28 “The best way to prepare for the season is by skiing.

job loss that permeates any workplace where people make something that could be made more cheaply somewhere else. Add to this scenario six characters stretched thin — financially and emotionally — by the vagaries of blue-collar life, and America’s dark industrial heart is exposed. Lantz clearly intends such a critical examination in this new work. In a program note, he asks: “When so much is demanding America’s attention these days, will we be known, not for how we looked

at our serious problems, but for how we averted our gaze from them?” One way to answer that question with a resounding “no” is to write a play that focuses tightly on the little people entangled in the works of the American Dream — as Arthur Miller did in Death of a Salesman, which Lantz mentions in his note. But for all Lantz’s noble initiative in writing, directing and producing “a play about us” — as the show’s tagline reads — American Machine strays, at times, into what feels like a polemic. The play has an immense heart, and it succeeds in stirring empathy for its characters and their plights. But those plights are so familiar, sometimes to the point of cliché, that Lantz fails to do full theatrical justice to the sharp bite industry takes out of the bodies, minds, souls — indeed, American dreams — of its agents. While this is compelling working-class agitprop drama, it doesn’t challenge Norma Rae’s seat on the break-room throne. This is not to say that the dilemmas Lantz’s characters face are trite. On the contrary, they’re surely realistic — and worthy of bringing to the stage. The graveyard shift includes Lona (Teresa Lorenco), a single Latina mom at risk of losing custody of her child. Another single mom, Teena (Bridget Butler), is burdened by three kids and a broken-down car. Winkie, played by Bill Toscano, is triply cursed by laziness — which he celebrates — a diet of trash television and a wicked bad haircut. Colin Cramer’s college boy Lane, working a summer job at the plant, is both judged for his privileged status and sexually objectified for his boyish good looks. As the man responsible for keeping the machines working, Buddy, played by Dennis McSorley, is a wizened veteran with decades of service to the company under his belt; his chief complaint seems to be management’s refusal to upgrade the machinery. The shift’s leader, Ipsy, played by Seth Jarvis, is a kind of lovable loser wracked with physical limitations. But neither his cleft palate, his limp nor his palsied hand impairs him as much as his naïve pride in American Machine’s output. The plot of American Machine is subtle: it revolves around the creeping specter of factory closure. There’s a bit of workplace romance, both requited and unrequited, various non-work dramas that play out during break time, and an instance — a contrived, incredible instance, to be blunt — of someone outed for concealing his true identity. Given the broad strokes with which Lantz paints, each actor is challenged to portray something other than a character type, and the ensemble as a whole strives to become something other than a class. This is a tall order, and the strain of filling it shows often enough to subvert the verisimilitude the play achieves in other moments. It’s a matter of quality control. Lantz seems to have directed his play loosely, here and there allowing exaggerated portrayals to undercut nuance. Toscano’s Winkie is the most outsized character in the cast. Whether bossing the new kid around, bitching about the empty Coke machine or stoking a pipe dream of

heyday, when the factory made parts for Lincoln automobiles. Even more touching is Ipsy’s admiration of Buddy for having married his childhood sweetheart. The longing in Ipsy’s voice during this scene is so palpable that Buddy seems embarrassed for him, and Ipsy’s clumsy efforts to follow his friend’s example in pursuing a romantic interest are heartbreaking. Frequently in the play, Jarvis recalibrates the Machine by drawing attention back to the inner life of this character struggling stoically to be bigger than his decrepit human form. Ipsy, unlike the other characters, has been drawn against factory-floor stereotypes. He’s not the foreman with a superiority complex. On the contrary, he’s painfully aware of his inferiorities, among them an inability to pass a community college course in statistics. And when he tries to motivate others to do good work, he focuses on the positive — not the threat of getting canned, but the opportunity to do something of which they can all be proud. This single role gives the play more poignancy than its evocation of the shifting landscape of American industry.

another worthy example of this phenomenon. That tale of small-town discord resonated with audiences not because it confronted a Big Idea head on, but because it allowed individual characters’ struggles to stand in for broader issues at work in our culture — homophobia, shame, religious fundamentalism. These are not small ideas. And Jim Lantz, now two plays into his work as a dramatist in Burlington, is no small presence on the local theater scene. He has taken a mighty swing at a formidable topic in American Machine. Indeed, independent theater itself is one of the riskier enterprises in our vaunted creative economy. That American Machine connects sometimes, and misses at others, doesn’t diminish the valiance of the effort. As Ipsy tells his crew, exhorting them to excel, “Greatness isn’t made. It’s assembled.” It’s an apt metaphor for this play. American Machine showcases Lantz’s ambition to say important things. Some of the noise out on the factory floor comes from powerful dramatic conflict. But some of it is the rattle of parts not in the best working order. �

it would be wiser to leave me alone, even though I was an irritant, because the adverse publicity . . . would outweigh any benefits,” he reflected shortly after apartheid’s fall. Although Fugard continued to write in South Africa, it became clear by the late 1970s that he needed to stage his works abroad. It was the only way to keep writing integrated plays on challenging themes and see them fully realized on stage, in collaboration with favorite, now-exiled, longtime associates such as the Londonbased Mokae. In the United States, Fugard began working closely with Lloyd Richards, who had broken Broadway’s color barrier in 1959 when he directed Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun. In ’79, Richards became dean of the Yale School of Drama and director of its Repertory Theater. He made Yale a home to playwrights who confronted difficult issues, particularly race. Two of his most productive relationships were with Fugard and August Wilson, then a little-known African-American playwright whose work Richards helped bring to national prominence. During Richards’ 12-year tenure at the Rep, Fugard directed more than half a dozen of his plays. A trio of the Yale productions went to Broadway and ultimately garnered Tony Awards. “Master Harold” was the first Fugard

play to make its world premiere outside South Africa. Unlike many writers who coyly avoid questions about creating fiction from fact, Fugard frankly admits he draws stories directly from real life. “Master Harold” is Fugard’s most autobiographical play. Published diary entries show he used names of real people and places, and the confessional details are both heart-warming and gut-wrenching. Based on something that happened when Fugard was 13, the play is an exercise in self-exorcism. “Don’t suppose I will ever deal with the shame that overwhelmed me,” he wrote in a 1961 journal entry. And yet, 20 years later, he put that shame on stage. He turned a transient episode of childhood ugliness into a play of enduring power and beauty.

Fugard turned a transient episode of childhood ugliness into a play of enduring power and beauty. The tale takes place on a rainy afternoon in 1950, in Port Elizabeth, Fugard’s hometown on South Africa’s Eastern Cape. There are no customers in the somewhat shabby St. George’s Park Tea Room. Employees Sam and Willie banter about an upcoming ballroom dancing competition while doing their routine cleaning tasks. The owners’ son, 17-year-old Hally, comes by after school and joins in the verbal jousting. As the three joke, laugh, and recall old stories, it becomes clear that the two older black men and the young white boy have a long history together. The family servants are Hally’s real family. A phone call brings news that ruptures Hally’s good mood. His crippled, alcoholic father is coming home from the hospital, and Hally dreads the disruption. He’s spent most of his life caring for the demanding, drunk invalid. Hally’s frustration rises as he fails to talk his mother into keeping the old man in the hospital. Sam tries to calm the agitated adolescent, but Hally lashes out. He can’t vent his anger on the pathetic father who isn’t there. And so the gentle, patient and loving surrogate father who has always been there for the young boy becomes the teen’s target. When Hally threatens to play the race card in their relationship, all three men know it’s the one thing he can never take back. When “Master Harold” opened at the Yale Rep in March 1982, I was a freshman. The Rep offered dirt-cheap season tickets to undergrads, and I subscribed — my first experience with the stage, beyond highkicking it in the chorus of “New York, New York” for the senior variety show in high school. I was a naïve blonde from multicultural Honolulu. Hawaii’s two-century tsunami of Asian, European and Pacific immigration ensured that no ethnic group held a majority, and many individuals’ ancestry was a veritable global stir-fry. The greatest shock of coming to the mainland for college was discovering that racism and prejudice still thrived, even in the supposedly liberal Northeast. I had studied the civil-rights >> 44A

movement in American History class. I thought racism was history, as in over. Yale was an island of privilege in New Haven’s struggling inner city. The white population had long since fled for the suburbs, so town-gown tensions took on uneasy racial undertones. I was appalled that stereotypes went largely unquestioned among my classmates, who came from all over the country. Dining-hall tables magically “self ”-segregated. Because my dates and crushes sometimes included men of color, one roommate teased me relentlessly about having a “thing” for black men. To me, it seemed ridiculous when I learned that many people never considered dating outside their race. In Hawaii, this would have led to a population crash! So when I put aside my Latin homework and settled into my seat on that cold spring night to see “Master Harold,” my halcyon assumptions about racial harmo-

Steve Stettler saw the original production in 1982 when it came to Broadway. Lonny Price had taken over the role of Hally. At the time, Stettler was a teacher and a graduate student. “I remember being completely blown away by the play,” he says. “It’s remained [a] very strong image of an unforgettable night in the theater for 25 years.” A Weston patron who had also seen the show in its first Broadbway run called Stettler “out of the blue” to relay how “this play remains so strong in [her],” he says. This passion fueled her to raise funds to bring several busloads of students and faculty from Northfield-Mount Hermon School in Massachusetts to see it this year in Weston. “It’s the kind of play that grabs hold of you and doesn’t let go,” Stettler remarks. For director Hal Brooks, staging “Master Harold ” at Weston is his first immersion in Fugard.

In 2007, the play continues to connect with young people. Weston’s “Master Harold” received an “overwhelming response,” says Stettler, from its school matinee audiences — numbering more than 1000 middle and high school students. He found that the kids readily identified with teen protagonist Hally. Jones believes “the student audiences were some of the best audiences . . . They get that these three guys have a wonderful relationship, and that it goes askew . . . And I think that’s the heart of the play.” Also at the heart of the play, for me, is a question Sam asks. The ballroom competition preparations continue as the story unfolds, and Sam uses collisions on the dance floor as a metaphor for how people are always “bumping into each other” in life. At the end he asks, “Are we never going to get

ny were already in turmoil. Zakes Mokae played Sam. Danny Glover portrayed Willie. Zeljko Ivanek was Hally. I left the theater stunned. How can skin color come between people who love each other? It was a concept far outside my experience. Fugard’s indictment of apartheid is so searing precisely because this is not a political play. And yet racism’s corrosive effects seep into the quiet tearoom and eat away at a family. Society not only dictates twisted laws but can also twist people’s hearts. “Master Harold” naturally affects not just impressionable young theatergoers but actors, directors and producers as well. Participants in the current Weston production share some vivid recollections of their first contact with Fugard. Actor Guiesseppe Jones, who plays Sam, first encountered the play when he was cast as Willie for a 1991 production in Nevada City, a small northern California town. “The most intense part about the experience was that some season ticket holders turned in their tickets because they didn’t want to see a play with black people in it,” he recalls. (Twenty-five of 700 subscribers canceled, according to The New York Times.) Despite the controversy, “the show eventually wound up being a huge success,” Jones remembers, with community support leading to sold-out performances and standing ovations. Weston Producing Director

He explains how his own college experiences deepened his connection to the play. “I remembered very vividly, while approaching this material, the divestment movement at Yale,” he says. (In the mid- and late ’80s, students advocated purging university endowment portfolios of companies doing business in South Africa.) His friends helped build a symbolic shantytown on campus. “I looked at it with admiration, but I was not part of it. I very much sat on the side and watched,” Brooks notes. “The police went in very early one morning and tore down the shanties,” he recalls. His activist friends suffered serious consequences in the subsequent protests and clashes with authorities. “I remember thinking, ‘Wow, it’s amazing that these folks have put themselves on the line for this.’ And . . . that’s exactly what [Fugard] is talking about at the very end. He’s having Sam say to Hally, ‘You don’t really have to sit on the sidelines. You can do something. You don’t have to sit on that apartheid, Whites Only bench.’” “That was my point of connection,” Brooks continues. “To not be that person who sits along the side, or to not have the audience be those people who sit along on the side and say, ‘Oh, that’s really bad,’ but actually to do something. Now I don’t know if that means storming the bursar’s office, but it certainly means maybe taking a more active step than I was willing to take at that age.”

it right?” Sam poses the question in a broad context, but the elephant in the South African tearoom is, of course, race. My naïveté on that subject is long gone, and two or three news stories crop up every week to flog my remaining optimism into submission. Racism remains the elephant in many rooms of American society. Toward the end of my conversation with Guiesseppe Jones, I indulge in some freewheeling speculation. My pet theory: South Africa’s postapartheid Truth and Reconciliation process might just give that country — despite the rawness of its wounds — a faster shot at healing. In the book No Future Without Forgiveness, Archbishop Desmond Tutu asserts, “To forgive is indeed the best form of self-interest, since anger, resentment and revenge are corrosive of that . . . greatest good, communal harmony.” Jones acknowledges that, in America, “I don’t think we want to confront. And we don’t want to forgive.” Readers should be skeptical of anyone christening something a “must-see.” But there is a stunning moment toward the end of “Master Harold” — and if you see it, you’ll know exactly which one I mean — that I can picture as clearly today as when I saw it a quarter-century ago. Fugard taught me something about myself, about how strongly I feel. It’s a rare moment in theater, or in life, that does this, and it’s one I still cherish. �

TAKING NOTE OF VISUAL VERMONT

MAKING ART IN THE BARN

Artists Take Over Former Phish HQ

n her 1929 book A Room of One’s Own, Virginia Woolf flayed a common bias by suggesting that a woman could be a man’s creative equal, given her own money and the space in which to do so. Also implied in that equal-opportunity scenario, of course, is uninterrupted time. Though Woolf was specifically referring to writing fiction, her book title became a catchphrase for the personal liberties that any artist, regardless of gender or medium, requires to produce good work. Nearly 80 years later, gender inequality isn’t the issue it once was, but that money-room-time thing is still the artist’s Holy Grail. And, to mix the religious metaphor, its twoword mantra is studio space. Virginia Woolf, meet Trey Anastasio. Huh? Yep, musicians need creative space as much as writers and visual artists do. In fact, to avoid pissing off the neighbors, they need sound-proofed, or isolated, space. Anastasio chose the latter option when he built a rehearsal and recording studio in the woods about a decade ago for his band, Phish. But after the beloved Vermont jam-rockers broke up, the capacious, rustic building, dubbed simply “the Barn,” was used sporadically until this past year. Rather than sell the property, the former frontman did something altruistic: He turned it into an artists’ retreat.

Specifically, Anastasio teamed up with Burlington City Arts to offer a residency program he dubbed the Seven Below Arts Initiative. According to the BCA website, its purpose is “to foster artistic development and support arts education in the state of Vermont.” Known for his support of local arts education, Anastasio previously collaborated with BCA on one of its annual Print Projects. BCA Director Doreen Kraft turned to Burlington sculptor Lars Fisk to design and manage the residency program. “Trey just came up with this notion that he’d like to see visual artists use the Barn,” says Fisk. “I had done a few of these [residencies] myself in other places, and I wanted to do something like them here.” It was another logical pairing, as Fisk had been a designer at half-a-dozen Phish shows. He had also been trying to create a residency program at a Pine Street studio

enclave. “I’m not sure if Trey imagined me being involved,” Fisk says. “But when Doreen suggested to him that I might be the first artist, Trey thought, ‘Great!’ I’d be the first participant and the guinea pig; I could jump-start the program.” Though Anastasio’s initial concept was that a single artist would live and work at the Barn for an entire year, Fisk immediately proposed expanding the project. “Why not push it into a smallish community?” he says. “I felt the potency in this program could lie in the fact that a group could support and learn from one another.” The result: The Barn was renovated to include three bedrooms and three semi-private work spaces, along with a shared kitchen and bathroom. Three artists at a time can come for two-month stints — April-May, June-July or August-September. (Winter is out, as the dirt road is too steep to contend with.) Along with the space and time comes a $2000 stipend. This year, Seven Below’s first, the April-May session was a bit of a trial run, allowing the organizers to work out the kinks. Along with Fisk, two local artists — Scott Lenhardt and Elliott Katz — were handpicked to “really flesh out the place,” he says. A seven-person committee, including artists and “people from the Phish world,” selected the artists for the following sessions. Anastasio’s sister, Kristy Manning, manages Seven Below. In the session that just ended, four artists rather than three were on hand. That’s because multimedia

artist Carlos Ferguson lives and works out of an Airstream — the silver trailer, retrofitted to accommodate his film-based, “visual-experience” art, was parked for the last two months down the winding driveway from the Barn. That is, when he wasn’t on location in the Burlington area showing his vintage home movies. Fisk envisions expanding the residencies even further: “I proposed building cabins on the property,” he says of the forested 65 acres. Or the program could host another day resident who didn’t need a bedroom — a local artist, or an itinerant, self-sufficient one like Ferguson. The residencies have few requirements other than “a history of rigorous work”: Artists can be at any stage in their careers, come from anywhere, and work in virtually any genre the Barn can hold. As at any such colony or retreat, the artists who apply for a Seven Below residency “want to be pulled from their everyday life,” explains Fisk. “They might have a full-time job; people in a dense city can benefit from being drawn into the quietude of this place. It’s for people who otherwise may not have the space or time.” A plum perk of managing the Barn is studio space of his own — Fisk is working on some models for larger works. Though a painter can work effectively here, he notes, the Barn is not currently well suited to large-scale sculpture. His responsibilities also keep his “residency” from becoming a self-indulgence. “It’s been really interesting to be a participant as the same time I’m an administrator,” Fisk says. “I can’t really embrace

the sort of ‘remote detachment’ because I’m responsible for all these other things. I’m not sure I want to do that indefinitely.” But Fisk is planning to stay on for a while, and he isn’t complaining; he clearly appreciates the camaraderie with other artists and the opportunity to develop the endeavor, virtually from the ground up. “It occurs to me, this is sort of an extension of what I’d been doing with Phish,” he reflects. “It’s an orchestration of individual projects. It’s not entirely surprising,” Fisk adds, “that since the recording studio was more and more dormant, Trey would re-energize this place with a visual-arts slant.”

ment of disconsolate, starryeyed Phishheads. Suffice it to say that the impressive, angular structure, reconstructed from an actual barn, hugs a wooded hillside in Chittenden County less than 30 minutes’ drive to downtown Burlington. The silence, and sense of isolation, belie its proximity to civilization. The place is, in every sense of the word, a retreat. With the advantages of electricity and running water. The side door of the Barn opens onto a sort of mudroom next to the bathroom. Walk into the kitchen beyond, and the space immediately opens up — both above and below. The ceiling of

In addition to Fisk and Ferguson, the artists in the August-September residency are Josh Reiman, a former Vermonter now living in Ithaca, New York, and Anna Schackte, from Brooklyn by way of South Carolina. Reiman’s work, mostly produced outdoors, is a photodocumentary he’s calling “Anthro-Apology.” Or at least, that will be the result. Leading a visitor down a path and into a

inside a 30-foot-high pyramid. The last “artifact” Reiman is building himself from hay bales. And, of course, he’s taking pictures along the way. “I wouldn’t be able to do this without this opportunity,” Reiman says of Seven Below. “I’m amazed that someone gave up their property for this.” Anna Schackte’s work is, on the surface, more traditional: She paints landscapes on canvas

Rather than sell the property, Trey Anastasio did something altruistic: He turned it into an artists’ retreat. Virginia Woolf aside, another book title instantly springs to mind at the Barn: A Room with a View. The 1908 E.M. Forster novel — and its 1985 film adaptation — took place in scenic Florence, Italy, but the forestand-mountain vista that greets visitors here has its own rugged splendor. In fact, it’s a wonder Seven Below residents can tear themselves from the windows long enough to get anything done. The exact location of the Barn is well guarded — a reporter is sworn to secrecy — perhaps to prevent an encamp-

the main room is two stories high; on the floor, only partial walls enclose the studio spaces, and they have no doors. This makes the space feel simultaneously cavernous and intimate; at one end, vast glass doors are thrown open in good weather, framing a view of Mt. Mansfield and letting in a flood of soft white light. Small bedrooms are tucked on this level and on a loftlike second floor. Visitors free of acrophobia can also make their way across a narrow, suspended catwalk to a one-person elevator, which creaks slowly up to a cupola-cum-lookout-post above.

JOSH REIMAN BUILDING HIS PYRAMID

clearing in the woods, Reiman explains that his idea “stems from looking at artifacts from history and figuring what the history is all about from them.” For this project, he’s creating “a culture that never existed,” he says. This involved creating seven representative characters, then making their costumes, jewelry, artwork . . . and offerings for a “tomb”

in oil and oil-based enamel. “But they’re not strictly naturalistic,” she understates. “They’re constructed landscapes” based on geographical locations, current events and her own vivid imagination. One of the several paintings she’s working on at the Barn looks like a geometric abstraction from a distance. But the neatly arranged rectangles,

explains Schackte, are “islands” that represent “future leisure locations.” She adds, “I decided I wanted my own manmade picture of islands, but on a grid. They’re not dissimilar from islands in Dubai.” All of Schackte’s paintings are works in progress at the moment, so it’s hard to envision where they’ll end up. “Right now I’m liking the idea of shapes remaining spare — they connote buildings without getting into fussiness,” she says. For Schackte, there’s a small irony in leaving the concrete pastures of New York for bucolic Vermont and then painting . . . buildings. You can only take this artist out of the city for so long. “But it’s a real treat for me to get out of New York in August,” Schackte concedes, echoing Fisk’s earlier supposition. “It is so quiet and secluded.” She also likes the option of interaction: “I’ll get the boys in here for a feedback session,” Schackte says. “It’s nice to have a dialogue once in a while.” Ferguson, for his part, has enjoyed Vermont and Burlington so much that he’s thinking about staying. Originally from Iowa, the itinerant artist has lived “all over.” Last Wednesday, he hosted a session of “Art:21” at the Firehouse Gallery, and on several occasions he’s shown his “found” and edited movies from the 1940s to ’60s on a screen outside his mobile projection booth, the Airstream. Fisk is thrilled that Ferguson might stick around. “That Carlos feels so welcome in the community he would consider moving here, that’s just made this whole thing so worthwhile,” he says. “It’s just the most perfect outcome for me.” �

Garden of Stone

A EXHIBIT SculptFest07: The annual outdoor exhibit features site-specific installations by 13 artists. Carving Studio and Sculpture Center, West Rutland. Through October 28.

ARTWORK “Working with Memories” (detail) by Nora Valdez

PHOTO Marc Awodey

lot of metamorphism must have gone on in West Rutland at the dawn of time. According to that unimpeachable source, Wikipedia, marble “is a metamorphic rock resulting from the metamorphism of limestone, composed mostly of calcite (a crystalline form of calcium carbonate, CaCO3).” In the 1800s, Redfield Proctor’s Vermont Marble Company thrived in West Rutland; today, his disused quarry yard off Marble Street still thrives — as the home of the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center. Approximately 200 sculptures of every size and form now dot the post-industrial landscape. Thirteen of those outdoor sculptures compose SculptFest07. This year’s SculptFest includes site-specific works by artists from three continents, as well as pieces that utilize two of the old quarry pits, now filled with water. California artist Shannon Wright’s “Feral Fence” is a 10-foot-tall chain-link fence made of pristine, gleaming steel, running 40 feet along the rim of one of the old quarries. A jumble of Y-shaped barbed-wire fence-post caps are woven with three strands of prickly wire, as if to suggest the old quarry is a treasure not be trespassed on. Of course, it’s an absurd fence, and possibly a wry critique of some of the border schemes currently being discussed in Washington, D.C.

“Nature and Transcendence” is a great theme for an exhibition of site-specific works. Massachusetts sculptor Jessica Leete built another quarry piece, entitled “Sculptural Continuum.” Twenty-three floating discs, ranging from about 10 to 30 inches, were cast and heaped with marble dust. A line of white dust was also spread around the quarry pond’s edges. At one end of the pond, a 5-foot-long marble plumb bob hangs from a dilapidated crane. It’s as if ghosts still work there, ferreting out whatever stone is left. Red maple leaves float among the white disks. “Working with Memories” by Nora Valdez, also from Massachusetts, features a completely different sort of space but equally haunting forms. The intimate piece nestled under trees includes three female figures carved from that locally ubiquitous material, marble. Valdes sited her piece along the Carving Center’s main back pathway. Each figure is about 5 feet tall and stands among rough-textured rocks and lichens. The figures wear dresses and are chunky, yet oddly graceful.

Two other pieces in the show are primarily about color. Manhattan artist Elisabeth Marsh enlisted a bright-yellow garden hose to create what may be the largest piece in the show. Large and insidious, that is. Pieces of hose slither all the way up the show’s back pathway. Sometimes it appears in sections of several feet, with both ends buried. Elsewhere, smaller lengths pop up like worms on a sidewalk. In a large, uprooted tree-root ball, fanned open to resemble Medusa’s hair, thumb-sized pieces top the tips of the roots. It’s a visual background element that highlights the gestalt of the entire area, around and between more self-contained pieces. Ohio sculptor Ashley Warren’s “Sense of Wonder” plays with the colors of the site, which will inevitably change as autumn approaches.

Warren wrapped the trunks of seven white birch trees in ribbons of material in several shades of red, extending from the ground to heights varying from about 4 to 7 feet. Because the reds are so close in hue, they become almost iridescent in sunlight. On a cloudy day they will look somewhat different. When the birch leaves turn yellow and other splendid fall colors appear in West Rutland, the redwrapped birches will take on yet another demeanor. This year’s SculptFest curator was the distinguished Castleton State College drawing professor Bill Ramage, and the show’s theme is “Nature and Transcendence.” It’s a great theme for an exhibition of site-specific works: The nature part is everywhere; the transcendence idea remains elegantly imprecise. m

theborowitzreport New CBS Reality Show, “Kid Detention,” Sends Kids to Guantanamo

F

resh on the heels of their reality show “Kid Nation,” in which children are sent to perform hard labor on a ranch with no adult supervision, CBS announced today that it was readying a new reality show in which children are sent to the federal detention camp at Guantanamo. The new program, called “Kid Detention,” is expected to be ready for broadcast in time for November sweeps, with the following promotional slogan: “One detention camp. Forty kids. No lawyers.” CBS said that filming would begin as soon as 40 children are “randomly rounded up.” Within hours of its announcement, CBS found itself under fire from the organization Amnesty International, which warned of possible human rights violations if the children are sent to Guantanamo. In an attempt to rebuff such criticism, CBS spokesperson Carol Foyler told reporters, “Nothing worse is going to happen to those kids than if they were on ‘Two and a Half Men.’” Foyler also attempted to dismiss Amnesty International’s complaint that the kids at Guantanamo would not be permitted to have lawyers.

“We want to recreate the experience of being detainees, and of course that means no lawyers,” Foyler said. “Besides, just like the other detainees, these kids haven’t been charged with any crime.”

Besides, just like the other detainees, these kids haven’t been charged with any crime.

If “Kid Detention” takes off in the ratings as expected, Foyler said, the network was considering launching another series, “Kid Rendition,” in which the children are flown to Egypt for further questioning. Elsewhere, after the president of Columbia University called him a “petty and cruel dictator,” Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad denied the existence of Columbia University.

Keeping It Fresh Seeing double? If the games on your wish list sound strangely familiar, it’s probably for a good reason. The franchise remains as much a part of video games as the joystick and the Red Bull-fueled “Halo 3” all-nighter. Sequels persist as a driver of industry success. Like other forms of software, video games tend to get better with each release, brimming with new features, bug fixes and enticements to upgrade. Two new games show how to blend creativity with cranking out derivative products. “Heavenly Sword” and “Medal of Honor: Airborne” exemplify two ways to apply a new coat of paint, and both succeed in bringing you back to a familiar place. Dubbed “Goddess of War” since its first public showing, for its by-the-book replication of the hit “God of War,” “Heavenly Sword” has “rip-off” written all over it. While the game borrows most of its good ideas — epic drama, tortured hero and massive on-screen carnage unleashed in a fury of button presses — it also manages to add a few new bits. For one thing, the switch from a male to a female lead gives an unexpected heft to the narrative. It’s easy to believe that a woman warrior has a chip on her shoulder when she’s constantly being told she’s not up to saving the world. Taking advantage of the PlayStation 3 hardware, the game also leaves its big brother behind in the visuals category, whether it’s displaying hundreds of on-screen enemies or adding detail that makes the bad guys look cool. “Airborne” has a tough battle in front of it. While the “Medal of Honor” series deserves a ribbon for bringing World War II action games to life in all their first-person glory, the old soldier seems like he might be ready for a rest. Not only is there

a glut of WWII games that makes it hard to sort your “Call of Duty” from your “Brothers in Arms,” but the entire enterprise of battling the Axis has lost some of its charm. This time around, instead of having troops fight through a linear set of missions, “Airborne” drops them into the action feet first. This minor adjustment to the action helps breathe life into the genre and provides a short but sweet mini-game at the beginning of each battle, as you guide your paratrooper’s boots onto the ground. Starting from this idea, the game pushes the notion of landing anywhere on the battlefield and finishing the fight from any number of strategic positions. Sure, these are small updates rather than design breakthroughs. But, as the pizza-shop owner who threw ham and pineapple on a pie can tell you, sometimes you just need some extra ingredients to

freshen up a classic. Who’s It For: Franchise games offer new chapters in beloved series and up-to-date versions for gamers who are new to the game. If You Like This, Try That: It never hurts to go back and play older games in a franchise. Sometimes the old games are just inferior versions of the latest and greatest. Then again, sometimes the original still burns brightly with the fire that sparked the series in the first place.

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each 9-box square contains all of the numbers one to nine.

Difficulty this week: HHH H = Moderate HH = Challenging HHH = Hoo, boy!

Best Part: Buying spin-offs and franchise games rarely disappoint. You know what you are going to get, and generally you get what you pay for.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Vegan Erotica is a company that sells S&M bondage gear suitable for vegans. Its whips, harnesses, collars, cuffs and restraints are made of fake leather. So it’s now possible for you to conduct puckish experiments with sexual power dynamics and yet not be responsible for harming any animals in the process. This development serves as an apt metaphor for your current astrological omens, Aries, which recommend a paradoxical blend of tenderness and force, a judicious mix of compassionate concern and playful aggressiveness, and daring attempts to pull off mischievous healings.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The curious

paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change,” said psychologist Carl Rogers. I suggest you make that your guiding principle in the coming weeks, Taurus. You’re overdue for a purge of bad habits and a surge of fresh approaches, but that won’t happen unless you can conjure up a relaxed acceptance towards those bad habits — as well as a big dose of selfforgiveness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In Buddhist

legend, the udumbara is a rare flower that blossoms unexpectedly every few millennia. It portends the imminent arrival of a miraculous breakthrough, as it did when it appeared near a lake at the foot of the Himalayas before the birth of Buddha. Many people in Fremont, California believe they recently saw the udumbara blooming on an oleander tree, its threadlike stalks erupting with tiny white blooms. Was it real? Alas, no scientists were on hand to confer the blessing of authentication. But that doesn’t matter for my purpose, which is to let you know that you’ll soon have a close brush with the equivalent of an udumbara. Be alert. Don’t be so lost in your fantasies that you’re blind to the fantastic omen that’s right in front of you. You’ve got to actually see it in order to be ready for the wondrous event it foreshadows.

jobs. cars. gear. music. pets. stuff.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Amputees

sometimes experience agonizing sensations that seem to originate in the part of their bodies that has been severed. Called phantom pain, it’s a very real feeling, although it does not actually come from the missing arm or leg. Those of us who have possession of all our limbs sometimes experience the psychic version of phantom pain. We suffer terribly despite the fact that the source of our suffering is long gone from our lives. The good news, Cancerian, is that now is an opportune time for you to heal your phantom psychic pain. You will receive unexpected help from the universe if you formulate a strong intention to relieve the mysterious ache. w

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): You can drive a car even though you have only a vague idea of how the engine works. You can swim despite the fact that you’re unfamiliar with the laws of physics and the intricacies of biology that underlie your ability to pull off that feat. Please keep this in mind as you weave your way through the interesting challenges of the coming days. It won’t be crucial to reach a deep understanding of what’s going on. Far more important is that you trust your intuition to show you the right thing to do and say at the right time. Knowing the big picture won’t be essential to mastering the everchanging details.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Water that is

too pure has no fish,” wrote Zen teacher Ts’ai Ken T’an. Keep that advice close to your heart in the coming days, Virgo. Your clean, clear ideas will become sterile unless you mix in some quirky, unruly emotions. Your spiritual intentions may become awkwardly rigid unless you loosen them up with a bit of healthy blasphemy. So please don’t push for utter perfection. Be careful not to burn away every last flaw or banish every last messy doubt. In order to know the truth, you’ll have to consort with BS.

LIbRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Would you be willing to get down on your knees in the dirt

and howl out adamant prayers? Would you be crazy enough and sane enough to beg the gods, muses and guardian angels to dissolve anything that’s interfering with your ability to be your authentic self and live the life you were born to live? Until you do, you may have to tolerate being less than authentic and living only part of the life you were born to live. The good news is that it’s a perfect moment to start smashing the obstructions to your happiness.

then used his whole body to shape his creation, crawling and walking on it. Sometimes he’d employ trowels, sticks, pieces of glass, and other objects to further manipulate the paint. He’s your role model for the coming week, Capricorn. I hope he will inspire you to expand the way you carry out your specialties. Try new techniques. Involve more of yourself in the process. Be willing to get messier than you’ve been before.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): According

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “A person

to the indigenous people who lived in the Americas before Europeans arrived, the world is populated with spiritual powers that take the shape of animals and plants and natural forces. In other words, there are many forms of intelligence, not just the kind that reside in human brains. And it’s possible to communicate with these other intelligences; we can tune in to their alternate modes of knowing and seeing, thereby expanding our narrow understanding of reality. To do that, however, we can’t rely on spoken and written language; we have to be receptive to their nonverbal language. We also have to be humble enough to recognize how smart they are, and how much they have to offer us. I mention this, Aquarius, because it’s a favorable time to learn from spiritual powers that reside in things like hawks, horses, oak trees and rivers. Nature is primed to tell you intriguing, unimaginable and useful secrets.

is a poet if difficulties inherent in his art provide him with ideas,” said Scorpio poet Paul Valéry. “He is not a poet if they deprive him of ideas.” Riffing off this definition, I nominate you to be the zodiac’s honorary poet for the next three weeks. You’re in prime position to capitalize spectacularly on your problems, both by generating wildly useful ideas and by drumming up fascinating opportunities for yourself. To assist you in your labors, I offer two more aphorisms from Valéry: (1) “Two dangers constantly threaten the world: order and disorder.” (2) “The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.”

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Russian scientists have discovered gold deposits in the dust of decayed tree stumps. The phenomenon occurs in forests growing in ground where there is gold ore. Over the course of centuries, the trees’ roots suck in minute quantities of the precious metal, eventually accumulating nuggets. According to my reading of the omens, you have the potential to carry out a comparable process in the coming years — and right now is a perfect time to formulate a conscious intention to do so. For best results, of course, you should place yourself in regular proximity to the source of the metaphorical gold you’d love to patiently suck into your sphere.

of the improvements I expect you to be enjoying by the end of October: a new, more practical treaty with your evil twin or nemesis; good reasons to eliminate superfluous middlemen and middlewomen who claim you can’t live without them; a knack for avoiding other people’s hells; the ability to adopt an enlightened version of tunnel vision and call on the power of having a one-track mind; and an enhanced grasp of the mysterious workings of money and the marketplace, which could ultimately lead to some financial magic.

The Kingdom HHHH

I

A FAIR SHEIK FBI investigators implore a Saudi royal to give them access to the crime scene in Peter Berg’s politically charged procedural.

f Michael Bay had directed Syriana, the result might have been a motion picture much like The Kingdom. While its subject matter is ripped from some of today’s most incendiary headlines, the film’s suspense and action provide counterpoints to the politics, creating a viewing experience that satisfies on a surprising number of levels. Surprising indeed — in part because the movie was directed by Peter Berg, a filmmaker whose name has not exactly been synonymous with cinematic excellence. His credits include, for example, the laugh-free 1998 black comedy Very Bad Things and 2003’s The Rundown, which chronicles the adventures of a bounty

< film>

hunter played by The Rock. To say Berg has taken his game to a new level would be an understatement. The director gets a significant assist from a Grade A cast. Oscar winners Jamie Foxx and Chris Cooper star as FBI investigators who take their lives into their hands by flying into Saudi Arabia against the wishes of the U.S. Attorney General, here played by the ever-superb Danny Huston. They want to track down the mastermind behind a horrific terrorist attack on an American compound housing oil-company personnel. Sure, Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman play agents on the same team, but the two are so outclassed by the work of other members of the cast that they might as well be in another picture altogether. The two cultures waste no time in clashing. The Americans are met at the airstrip by a sizable military presence under the leadership of — well, it’s not always clear, and that’s the point. At different times, different Saudi officers assert authority over apparently different but commingled armed factions. Ashraf (Paradise Now) Barhom turns in a finely calibrated performance as the colonel responsible for disarming the foreign infidels, limiting their access to the bombing site, and making sure they return home unscathed

in five days so as not to upset the precarious apple cart of international relations. Little by little, though, rules relax, and a handful of people on both sides establish a level of trust. The viewer is rarely sure which Saudis want the culprits caught and which would just as soon go Daniel Pearl on the Americans. For that matter, neither are the Americans. Consequently, the tension and sense of unspeakable danger lurking around the next crowded corner are relentless and intense. On the one hand, The Kingdom consists of a murky, politically charged procedural through which beams of common humanity periodically burst. Foxx and Cooper do nicely understated work as strangers searching for any friendly face in a strange land. The few times they encounter one, the movie tempts one to say to oneself that maybe there’s hope for peaceful, respectful coexistence between these two worlds after all. On the other, the film is brutally unsentimental in a way Hollywood movies almost never are. If there’s a moral to the story, it’s that finding the man who planned the attack barely matters in a society that has institutionalized hatred of the West. As we’ve learned throughout the Middle East, capturing or killing one terrorist leader results in little more than his replacement by another, and the recruitment of any number of new jihadists to his cause. This isn’t just a monster. It’s a monster that regenerates. That’s a pretty heavy subtext for an action film — but Berg and company make it work. The first in a series of Middle East-themed movies scheduled for release this fall, The Kingdom never rises to the level of award-caliber cinema. At the same time, its creators handily solve the mystery of how to make a popcorn movie that offers serious food for thought. RICK KISONAK

In the Valley of Elah HHH

S

STRIFE DURING WARTIME The craggiest man in Hollywood gets a little craggier, as a career soldier struggling to understand his son’s fate.

eeing the war on CNN is one thing. Being on the streets of Baghdad or Basra is another. That’s why Iraq Veterans Against the War have staged the pieces of scary street theater they call Operation First Casualty, in which passersby get a taste of life in a war zone. It’s also why Tommy Lee Jones, playing military dad Hank Deerfield in the new movie from writer-director Paul Haggis, pores over photos his son sends him from Iraq. When the young man goes AWOL from his base at Fort Dodd, Jones gets hold of his cellphone and downloads videos his son took on patrol. They’re corrupted and pixellated, but the flashes we see make it clear some very bad shit is going down. Haggis is Oscar bait personified. He wrote Million Dollar Baby and wrote and directed the message-y Crash, so it’s no surprise to see him take on another controversy. And he does one thing very right in this movie: He makes the hero someone who sincerely believes that — as he puts it — the Iraq war is “bringing democracy to a shit-hole.” More importantly, Haggis cast Jones, who doesn’t play straw men. Early in the movie, when Hank sees an American flag hanging upside down and hastens to correct it, the message is clear: The guy is an über-patriot. But as Jones explains gently why the flag needs to be upright, he makes the moment more than a talking point, earning the audience’s respect. After the police discover his son’s dismembered corpse in a field near the base, Hank decides it’s up to him to find out what happened. He’s a Vietnam vet and a retired military policeman, but the young MPs

aren’t exactly rushing to his aid. They’ve got a war to deal with, and they suspect the young soldier was a bad egg who got involved with drug gangs and paid the price. Jones’ only ally is Charlize Theron, playing a civilian detective with a chip on her shoulder. Together they get to work finding out whodunit. The movie’s title refers to the place where David killed Goliath. Haggis clearly believes there’s deep meaning to be wrung from this Old Testament allusion, but what it is is anyone’s guess. Is Hank a David going up against the military Goliath, which doesn’t want him to concern himself with what his son really did and saw in Iraq? Maybe, but if there’s a critique of the military here, it remains frustratingly underdeveloped. Perhaps that’s because In the Valley of Elah is trying too hard to also be a TV-style drama about the trials of a female cop. Way too much screen time goes to Theron’s character, her professional rivalry with Jones and their inevitable rapprochement. Theron isn’t a bad actress, but she lacks the skill to flesh out a thin, schematic role. (The cop has issues with the military, but just what they are is never explained.) So she settles for pulling her hair back, scowling and pitching her voice low, lest we remember she’s a glamorous movie star. It’s too bad Haggis didn’t give us more time with the young soldiers, instead. The film poses a compelling question: How does Hank, who apparently saw action in Vietnam, feel about the atrocities he thinks he’s glimpsing in the cellphone footage? “They shouldn’t send heroes to Iraq,” one soldier hisses at

Jones, implying that this war is uglier than any other. But isn’t that what they used to say about that other war? How does Hank make the transition from telling his frightened son to suck it up and deal — just as he probably did in Vietnam — to doubting everything he used to hold dear? By keeping the transformation murky, Haggis robs himself of a great opportunity to demonstrate how a dose of reality can alter hearts and minds. MARGOT HARRISON

< food> Waste Not? Burlington’s compost facility tries to digest environmental and aboriginal charges PHOTO: maTTHew THOrsen

by MIKE IVES

O

rganic matter cooks while it’s breaking down into compost. But the combo never gets as hot as it has at the Burlington Intervale, where a series of alleged environmental and land-use violations has ambushed one of the largest — and most successful — composting operations in Vermont. At the center of the controversy is Intervale Compost Products, a 16-acre not-forprofit composting operation located on the city’s floodplain. In operation since the mid-’90s, the facility receives such stinky items as manure, decomposed leaves and food waste from big-time suppliers such as Ben & Jerry’s, Saputo Cheese Manufacturing and the University of Vermont. Over nine months, the gunk is collected into piles and then converted into soil-enriching compost. At least, that’s what used to happen before the state of Vermont took action against ICP. In August, investigators from the Agency of Natural Resources accused the facility of, among other things, dumping contaminated wastewater onto nearby community garden plots. A few months earlier, the Natural Resources Board deemed that ICP should be classified as a “commercial enterprise” rather than a “farm.” If the facility doesn’t comply with the accompanying new requirements, it could be shut down by next summer. Meanwhile, to the dismay of herbivorous Burlingtonians, the facility has stopped accepting food-waste donations in accordance with legal stipulations. ICP’s predicament stems in large part from complaints filed by Judy Dow, a member of the Vermont Commission on Native American Affairs. Dow, 53, grew up near the Intervale. Over the last year, she’s

been publicly criticizing the composting operation as an environmental and archeological hazard. She claims ICP is perched atop an Abenaki burial ground, though she refuses to furnish documentation to back up her assertion. Intervale Center Executive Director Kit Perkins has responded to the alleged violations with cautious diplomacy. But beneath the public relations veneer, ICP employees — who are not allowed to speak with the media on the organization’s behalf

— are indignant and frustrated. Even some politicians have gotten involved. Last week, Vermont’s Republican Party issued a statement accusing Intervale farmer and state rep David Zuckerman (P-Burlington) and Speaker of the House Gaye Symington (D-Jericho), the Intervale’s development coordinator, of being “clueless” environmental stewards. Zuckerman, who serves on the House Agriculture Committee, characterizes that statement as “unfortunate.” “People are making it into something po-

litical,” Judy Dow claims, but, “It’s not that at all. It’s a story about abuse to the land.” What is going on at the Intervale? How do squash rinds and leaf piles threaten responsible land-use policy and Native American rights? The roots of the present controversy stretch back to 1980, when the Burlington Electric Department planned to build the

Combine in a medium bowl: 1 half t baking powder, 1 half t cinnamon, 1 half t baking soda, 1 c flour and 1 half t nutmeg. Mix these two bowls of ingredients together and fold in 2 c peeled, thinly sliced macintosh apples and 1 half c finely chopped walnuts. Bake in a greased 9” square pan for 35-40 minutes. Cool and cut like brownies.

Joseph C. McNeil Generating Station. Since the Intervale is a flood plain, engineers wanted to bulk up the McNeil plot by excavating sand from the presentday ICP site, which was then a cornfield and junkyard. Before tearing up the so-called “borrow area,” they commissioned an archeological study of the turf in question. As it turns out, the results were archeologically “significant” — that is, littered with pottery shards and possible cremation remains. Months later, a follow-up study of the lower Winooski River Valley ranked the Intervale as the most sensitive archeological site in an area stretching as far as Westford, Starksboro and Bolton. In the mid-’80s, Gardeners’ Supply founder Will Rapp partnered with the City of Burlington to develop a small, rotating composting operation. A few years later, the Chittenden Solid Waste District joined in, and Intervale Compost Products was born. By the late 1990s, ICP had settled on the present site as its permanent location. According to Karl Hammer, owner of Montpelier’s Vermont Compost Company and a consultant for ICP in the ’90s, the Burlington operation eventually “became a fairly substantial, commercialvolume compost facility.” Although he’s technically a competitor, Hammer is philosophically aligned with ICP’s composting efforts; he’s a strong proponent of local food security. He says the project has never operated perfectly. “I have to say, having been there, we all knew that indigenous aboriginal folks had lived on the Intervale,” he says. “It sort of never came up in the deliberations.” That said, it wasn’t as if Hammer and other industrious composters planned to disturb the archeological site. He stresses that, while he once plowed the plot to a depth of 8 or 10 inches, previous farmers regularly dug to depths of 24 inches. Subsequent changes facilitated ICP’s steady growth. In 2002, a new liquid-waste contract drastically increased food-waste intake. In 2005 and 2006, ICP constructed stormwater-holding ponds — the ANR calls them “leachate”-filled “lagoons.” The composting piles grew taller and more concentrated. By 2007, ICP was ostensibly in compliance with agricultural and environmental permits, but it was a much larger operation than when it started. Who cares? The State of Vermont, for one. Years before ICP’s creation, the agriculture and natural resources agencies had signed an agreement stating that if more than half of a farm’s products are produced on site, the property is exempt from Act 250 regulations. According to

Hammer, that agreement was designed to help farmers manage pollution without incurring unnecessary bureaucratic oversight. In the process, it created different regulations for farms and farmlike businesses. Fast forward to May of this year when, acting on Judy Dow’s complaints, the Natural Resources Board determined that ICP was a commercial operation, arguing that “most of ICP’s

Resources Board asking him to clarify Vermont Compost Company’s status as a farm or a commercial operation. He’s making a case for the former. Underlying the Act 250 conflict is a stickier issue: whether or not the Intervale’s composting operation is damaging the burial ground. “As we learn more about the concerns around archeological resources, PHOTO: maTTHew THOrsen

composting materials come from either residences or commercial business in Burlington.” Now everyone in the Intervale — even cultivators who have had nothing to do the compost project — has to abide by Act 250. Farmers, for instance, are prohibited from putting down stakes and erecting winter greenhouses. Ironically, ICP has had to curtail its own wastewater irrigation project. “When we talk about the state’s ability to manage these things,” Hammer admits, “there’s much confusion.” Earlier this week, he filed his own Act 250 papers in Montpelier. He received a letter in March from the Natural

we’re being extremely careful to follow the proper regulatory processes,” notes Perkins. But she adds that it’s never been clear what is considered legal in the first place. “Some of the regulations that are being applied to regulate this facility are not customized for compost operations,” she grouses. “They’re [either] solid-waste rules, or they’re environmental rules like Act 250.” For Dow, that argument doesn’t fly. “The problem is, this is not agriculture, this is a business,” she insists. “Because it’s a business, they have a totally >> 0 B

The Oasis calls iT quiTs; Parkway makes a cOmeback

There’s nothing “over easy” about selling the family business. Unless you’re second-generation Oasis Diner owners David and Jon Lines. After running the local eating institution for 10 of its 53 years, the brothers are no longer taking orders, short or tall. They sold the business — and the vintage diner that houses it — to bar owner/ brewer Glenn Walter of Three Needs. Walter plans to turn the place into a Jewish deli along the lines of Swartz’s in Montréal. “We’ve done pretty well with the diner,” says David, who took over the place when his dad retired 10 years ago. “Stratty” was a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat who enjoyed a good debate, and the diner attracted news junkies and politicians, including locals Phil Hoff and Pat Leahy, and visiting celebs Walter Mondale and Bill Clinton. The Lines brothers maintained that tradition and others: The place was only open for breakfast and lunch and never took credit cards. “New energy, new life, new people will regenerate it,” says David, who inherited his father’s love of following current events. “My dad is very cool with it. He knows it’s a good time for us to do something different.” No fries with that. When one diner door closes, another opens: The Parkway Diner, a South Burlington institution since 1955, is back in business after a change of ownership and six-month hiatus. The building itself is still owned by George Hatgen, who originally ran the diner, then leased it for 10 years to the Alvanos family, now owners of the Pine Street Deli. Hatgen’s son Peter Hatgigiannis, a partner in the Maria Catherine restaurant group, has taken over the diner’s operation. According to Hatgigiannis, the Worcester diner car has been completely refurbished, from the booths to the newly handicapped-accessible bathrooms. As far as the food is concerned, he says to expect a “very simple, casual menu” featuring faves such as hot turkey sandwiches and lobster rolls prepared by a “chef from California.” “We were heartbroken to hear the diner might not reopen,” Hatgigiannis says of himself and his business partners. “I left the Ritz-Carlton for this.” Seriously.

Maybe you’ve heard of the “Soup Nazi” — that “Seinfeld” character based on a real Manhattan vendor, whose manners were as nasty as his broth was savory. Meet his kinder, gentler Vermont counterpart: The Soup Mama, also known as Lorraine Murray, 25, runs a bicyclepowered soup delivery business in Burlington. She cooks up warm winter comfort food and sells it by the quart. Each Wednesday, the Old North End resident posts a featured soup on her blog, http://thesoup mama.wordpress.com. She takes orders Wednesday through Saturday via email. Then, on Tuesday, Murray peddles the goods to your doorstep. If you’re not home, you can leave a cooler and a check. The price changes weekly depending on ingredients. This week’s black bean soup is going for $8 a container. The varieties are governed by “whatever mood I’m in, whatever strikes me, whatever I think people would like,” Murray explains. Look for minestrone in the future — and yes, there will be soup for you. And sandwiches? The Henry Street Deli recently changed hands, and the new proprietors are making “better sandwiches with fresh-baked breads that are delivered every day,” boasts co-owner Manny Romanko. Romanko, 40, describes the Deli as a “quaint little market on a quiet street” in Burlington’s Old North End. He and his wife Tamra Yandow, also 40, recently purchased it from previous owners who decided to retire. “We live right across the street . . . it was a nice opportunity,” Romanko says. The duo has slowly been making changes, such as introducing McKenzie meats and offering morning pastries alongside Fair Trade organic coffee from Vermont Artisan Coffee & Tea Co. Although they’re still feeling a few things out, Romanko says they’re also looking for input from local folks: “We’re trying to get feedback from everybody to make it more of a community market.”

Vermont is on the national radar for food-focused tourists. Last week, the Travel section of USA Today gave the Green Mountain State a pat on the . . . belly? Just in time for the leaf-peeping season, author Jerry Shriver extols “the homespun artistry of boutique farmers, artisanal food producers and market-driven chefs” that drives the state’s gastro-tourism. In his introduction, Shriver credits Ben & Jerry’s and NECI with helping lay the foundation for Vermont’s food culture. He also lauds Laura and Michael Kloeti of Michael’s on the Hill in Waterbury as “champion[s] of local ingredients” before it became hip. Which eateries caught Shriver’s attention this time around? Hen of the Wood, also in Waterbury, for one. There he enjoyed the “market-fresh” menu, including “silky” corn soup drizzled with truffle oil. Taste of Burlington gets plaudits for the chef’s paintings, as well as the “New England Classics” on the menu. Shriver was also impressed by the commitment Steve and Lara Atkins of Richmond’s Kitchen Table Bistro make to local producers. They partner with “about 30 farmers, cheesemakers, bakers and brewers,” he enthuses. Finally, Shriver mentions Butler’s at the Inn at Essex. He particularly enjoyed Butler’s simple dishes, such as cooling cucumber-tequila soup and strawberry-balsamic sorbet. Currently, those summery favorites are

gone from the menu, replaced by cooler-weather fare such as creamy potato and celeriac soup and pumpkin crème caramel.

different set of rules to follow, and they didn’t follow the rules . . . If they’re not happy with the laws, they just need to change them,” Dow continues. “They keep saying, ‘We didn’t know, we inadvertently did this, we didn’t know.’ Well . . . it should be their job to know.” The plot thickens. Though Dow is a member of the Vermont Commission on Native American Affairs, her legitimacy is questioned by the Franklin County-based St. Francis/Sokoki band of Abenaki. According to Fred Wiseman, a tribal historian and Johnson State College professor, most concerns over Abenaki burial grounds are addressed by archeologists from either the University of Vermont or the University of Maine at Farmington. Regarding Dow’s archeological concerns, Wiseman reports, “As far as I know, I have not been contacted by either of those [schools].” April St. Francis Merrill, chief of the Abenaki Nation of Missisquoi, St. Francis/Sokoki band, offers a harsher critique of Dow. She says that her fellow tribespeople are incensed over the woman’s actions. “Judy Dow claims that she represents all the Abenaki people,” notes Merrill. “She doesn’t represent them, so I don’t know where she gets off saying that, just because she’s on a commission.” According to the chief, the burial-ground controversy is the latest chapter in a larger narrative. After decades of lobbying, the Abenaki were granted

the burial section was protected, that was our major concern. That’s always been our concern with any historical site, that they’re not desecrated.” The chief is planning to visit the Intervale this week to see the situation for herself. Equipment Steward Craig Barratt, a 27-year-old Swanton native who has worked at ICP for five years, may be uniquely qualified to assess the compost conflict — although he stresses that his views are his own, not ICPs. On a recent Thursday afternoon, he descends from a bright-purple dump truck to speak with a reporter, sporting rugged overalls, a John Deere hat and a trim beard. According to Barratt, whose father is a registered St. Francis/Sokoki band Abenaki, recent

state recognition in May 2005 by Governor Jim Douglas. St. Francis Merrill claims that the victory opened the door to peripheral figures who claim to be Abenaki reps. Dow, an artist and basketmaker who teaches Native American heritage classes, maintains she doesn’t consider herself a member of a particular tribe. Furthermore, Dow says she never claimed to speak for all Abenaki, only for the stateappointed commission. Either way, the two women hold opposing views on the Intervale situation. While Dow condemns ICP, St. Francis Merrill praises it as a model of sustainability. “When the Intervale first started,” notes the latter, “we thought it was kind of a good idea — that we recycle, and reuse, and go back to Mother Earth . . . as long as

articles in The Burlington Free Press have inaccurately portrayed ICP staff as “buffoons.” He contends that the allegations about solid-waste and water-quality violations are either untrue or misleading. As an example, he points out that one violation was merely an issue of misclassifying liquid waste as solid waste. “We just don’t feel like the whole story’s getting out,” he laments. “It hurts when you see the things that have been written about us.” Speaking to the alleged violations, Barratt concedes that the recent excavation of stormwater-holding ponds may not have been the smartest move. However, he doesn’t think current scraping procedures damage archeological remains, noting that machinery goes down 6 inches at most.

Barratt, who makes $17 an hour plus benefits, doesn’t consider his gig at ICP just any day job. He talks about compost as if it were his spiritual salvation. “I didn’t even know anything about composting before I started working here,” he explains. “I just had heavyequipment experience, and that’s how I got the job. But I’ve come to love this place, and I believe in what we’re doing. It’s opened my eyes.” Considering his attachment to ICP, it’s understandable that Barratt seems annoyed by Dow’s behavior. He says she’s “gotten under [his] skin” by “snooping” around ICP with her camera. “It’s not a factor of ‘Where do we start negotiating?’” he says, scratching his head. “Judy Dow’s negotiating point is, ‘You guys leave!’ And it’s kind of hard to negotiate with someone when that’s their demand.” Frustration aside, Barratt’s still hoping to find common ground with Dow. In March, he attended a talk she gave at the center and learned a thing or two about the Intervale site. “We’d love to give the Abenaki a spot to repatriate remains, or plant flowers, or pray,” he says. The composting saga has unearthed an unreported irony: According to a state archeologist, the alleged burial ground that Dow wants to preserve at all costs is significant for another reason: Back in 1979, researchers turned up the first evidence of early corn cultivation in Vermont. The date of those corn harvests stretches back a bit further than either Dow’s or Barratt’s lifetimes — to 1200 AD. As sea gulls soar above the nearby compost piles, Barratt pauses to watch a bulldozer dump a load. Judy Dow “told us that this has historically been a great area for the Abenaki,” he muses. “If it was their breadbasket, I don’t see why it can’t continue to be a bread basket.” Breaking into a smile, he adds, “Compost is an integral part of it. I mean, you have to feed the soil to make plants grow.” >

-town’s famously potent “hurricanes” and conch fritters disappeared when Auggie’s Island Grill closed in July. Its alcohol-free successor, Bueno Y Sano, which translates “Good and Healthy,” is going a different route. Right next door to vegan-friendly Stone Soup, it offers an array of fresh, Mexican-flavored wraps that you choose yourself from an à la carte menu. There’s not a bottle of Cuervo in sight. Bueno Y Sano, a family-owned chain, began in 1995 as a small operation in the multi-college town of Amherst, Massachusetts. It wasn’t long before owner Bob Lowry opened a second branch in nearby

also available — and a squirt of hot sauce helped in the flavor department. The side of pico de gallo — made, as it often is, with hard, underripe tomatoes — didn’t. While vine-ripened fruit is expensive and often unavailable, a squeeze of lime juice and bigger sprinkles of cilantro and salt would do wonders for the condiment. The “pico” did add color to the plate, though. How does Bueno Y Sano stack up against cross-town competitor New World Tortilla? Over there, the options are fewer and predetermined, but each “burrito” is flavorful and unique. For example, NWT is famous for its chicken club wrap with bacon, cheddar and Grey Poupon; for the Mexican-style

purple onions. The tangy vinaigrette was even better when mixed with a few dribbles of leftover sour cream. A generous sprinkle of optional grilled chicken, plus the ubiquitous rice and beans on the side, made the salad filling enough to function as a meal in itself. My only gripe about the greens: A smaller, cheaper, side-salad option, minus the extras, would be great for gringos who want some extra vitamins without all the frills. I get why the rice and beans are practically naked. If the beans were laced with loads of toasty, funky cumin, every dish would taste like the spice. If they were freshened up with lime and cilantro, same deal. One possible solution: Pump the

Northampton. Earlier this month, his brother, Will Lowry, brought the concept to the College Street space formerly occupied by Auggie’s. Two separate visits to the newly built wood-and-glass restaurant yielded wildly different results. The ordering scheme is a little unusual. Each item has a standard price: $5.25 for a basic cheese quesadilla or a bean-rice-cheese burrito, for example. Additional fillings are priced individually and can be mixed and matched at will. Spinach, sautéed mushrooms and chickpeas with red curry are a dollar each. Grilled shrimp will run you an extra $4.25. After lengthy deliberation, we settled on two burritos: a veggie version with seitan and a pricey selection with shrimp, roasted red peppers, and sautéed spinach and garlic. Both were mildly disappointing. Although the portion size and quality were good, our chosen ingredients seemed to swim in a sea of bland rice and beans. Even with completely different “extras,” the two burritos tasted kind of similar. A side of sour cream — yogurt is

chicken Vera Cruz laced with jalapeños; and especially for the Thai chicken burrito, which has a bunch of crunch thanks to the generous layer of ginger-peanut slaw. Oddly enough, the best burrito at Bueno is its own take on Thai chicken. At BYS, the just-spicy-enough burrito features peanut sauce and red cabbage slaw. The quantity of cabbage is smaller, but slivers of mint give it a fresh, exciting flavor. Verdict: Depending on where I find myself when hunger strikes, I’d happily chow down either restaurant’s version. I was better informed on a second visit to BYS, and the result was a delicious experience. Knowing that the rice and beans would be on the side, I opted for a hearty quesadilla piled with bite-sized pieces of grilled flank steak, mushrooms and zucchini between two toasted tortillas. The meaty and sweet, vegetal flavors were perfectly balanced, and since the filling wasn’t smothered in starch, I could actually taste the cheese. A salad with lemon vinaigrette was crisp and colorful, made of bright green Romaine lettuce topped with grilled red pepper and

rice and beans up, but don’t wrap ’em up in the burritos. Or offer a spicy version and a plain one. The two hot sauces that patrons can pump from a dispenser near the fountain drinks had just the right degree of zest — the “mild” hinted at heat, while the “hot” started my tongue on a slow, steady burn. What was missing? The “medium” version mentioned on the menu. Plus, a wider array of sauces, à la Mexicali, would be nice. Another way to spice things up would be adding refried beans and corn tortillas. The new joint still needs to bump up the flavor quotient. Another quibble: While the basic system seems logical, some of the pricing is inconsistent. A portion of chicken, barbecued or plain, is always $1.50, but Portabella ’shrooms cost $1.75 in a burrito, $1.25 in a quesadilla and $1 in a salad. Huh? If they toss a smaller portion into the tossed salad, shouldn’t the add-ins be cheaper across the board? Once you figure it out, Bueno Y Sano is also economico. Burlington’s newest DIY eatery is open from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily. >

TICK TICK TICK . . .

Who doesn’t love a good summer vacation? Having been out of school for a good 10 years now, I can only look back fondly on hazy days spent swimming, grilling and lazily reading Stephen King novels in a hammock between bouts of sipping sun tea and napping. Sweet, sweet napping. Actually, I’m pretty sure summer vacations are the only reason anyone becomes a teacher these days. I suppose there’s the whole “shaping minds” thing, but let’s be honest: It’s the vacay. On that note, I’m pleased to announce that the everindustrious folks at Tick Tick have emerged from their summer-long hiatus with a pair of shows guaranteed to tickle the unfunny bones of indie music fans statewide. A few months back I wrote — more than a few times — quite glowingly about Portland, OR-based chamberfolk duo Horse Feathers, and practically begged you to check out their show at The Skinny Pancake — the venue’s debut show, no less. Much to my delight, a few of you actually showed up. Score one for me! Those who attended were treated to one of the most intimately stirring evenings of music to take place in Burlington for quite some time. A high school chorus teacher once offered me these sage words of advice: The best way to engage an audience and trick them into paying attention is to lower your voice. The theory being that people are more apt to perk up and listen when you make them work to do so. I don’t recall seeing Horse Feathers in any of my chorus classes as a teenager, but it’s a lesson they seem to have mastered. Maybe there’s more to teaching than lengthy vacations after all. Blending darkly poetic lyrics with dense orchestral arrangements featuring nimbly plucked banjo, weeping violin and eerily bowed saw, the band achieved something that night which is all too infrequent in live music, local or otherwise: awed and respectful silence among the audience. This Friday, Horse Feathers bring their affecting brand of cinematic melancholia to The Monkey House in Winooski, with Seattle’s grievously angelic indie-pop chanteuse Johanna Kunin and our own noirish Americana trio, Farm.

. . . KA-BOOM! In the previous bite, I mentioned there were two upcoming Tick Tick shows. Typically, I’d kill two birds with one column piece and give you the run-down for both shows in the same feature. But this is not your typical show, and I’m not your typical columnist. Or so I’d like to think. Anyhoo . . . Have you ever heard of The Capstan Shafts? Unless you’ve already read the CD reviews in this issue, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that all but the indie-geekiest of you have not. It’s OK: Until two weeks ago, neither had I. The Capstan Shafts is the stage name of über-prolific Lyndonville songwriter Dean Wells, who has released 17 albums . . . in the last

five years! Eat your heart out, Ryan Adams. Taking full advantage of the ever-expanding online resources available to independent musicians, Wells has built a rabid cult following on the Internet, even catching the ears of pseudo-indie cyber monoliths such as Pitchfork Media and the All Music Guide. My disdain for Pitchfork has been well documented in HORSE FEATHERS these pages. But for once, I have to give credit where it’s due. Pitchfork Senior Contributor Matt Lemay succinctly — and snarklessly — hit the nail on the head when he referred to the tunes on the Shafts’ new disc Environ Maiden as “Smart, sharp and emotionally resonant indie-pop songs.” I couldn’t have said it better myself. Word on the street is that Lemay might actually make the journey from Chicago to Vermont for this Saturday’s performance at The Stannard Church. I know what you’re thinking: Why would a writer for one of the most prominent music websites in the world travel to a small town in northern Vermont for a show in an old church? For starters, The Capstan Shafts have never played a live show. Ever. That’s right. Despite the voluminous quantity of Wells’ work, he’s never performed in front of anyone. I’m guessing he needs the tune-up before heading to NYC to play a showcase gig at the upcoming CMJ showcase.

CROC HUNTER I have a confession to make: I hate Crocs. By no means am I a fashionista, but those fugly little plastic shoes bug me as much as, if not more than, any number of my other personal fashion biases, including visors, oversized sunglasses and fanny packs. Especially fanny packs. Anyway, despite my enmity towards comfortable plastic footwear, I understand that many people — maybe even some reading this column — love them. I also understand that many people who wear Crocs also love Guster. Here it seems, we reach an impasse. Admittedly, I’m not a huge fan of the Boston-based acoustic jampopsters. Oh, sure, I used to listen to Guster during my brief stint at UVM as a Teva-wearing English major. But somewhere between freshman year and dropping out three semesters later, I came to the crushing realization that Guster is, in fact, not for lovers — as the bumper stickers erroneously claim — and I just lost interest. It happens. However, Croc-clad college-rock fans — and non-jaded lovers, I suppose — will be delighted to know that the band is headlining the Crocs Next Step Campus Tour with support from folk-rock singer-songwriter Brett Dennen. So throw on some brightly colored plastic sandals and head over to UVM’s Patrick Gymnasium this Saturday for an evening of sensitive dudes in comfortable shoes. Croc and roll.

Having spent the last few months touring the East Coast and California, the pair enthusiastically return to Vermont armed with a slew of new tunes and stories from the road. Burlington’s version of Ian & Sylvia kicks off a week’s worth of gigs this Wednesday, October 3, with sultry all-girl altcountry trio The Wailin’ Jennys at the Higher Ground Ballroom. Then, the Queen City’s Mitch & Mickey head to

3:10 TO SOUTH BURLINGTON ::

“I hear that train a-comin’, it’s rollin’ round the

bend, and I ain’t seen the sunsh . . .� Sorry, there’s just something about the name of NYC-based, Southern-rock revivalists

Steel Train that brings to mind Johnny Cash. It’s not that they sound anything like the Man in Black, because they don’t. Rather, they’re reminiscent of reverb rebels My Morning Jacket, or perhaps a grittier version of The Flaming Lips. Awkward and seemingly disparate comparisons aside, these guys rock with a swagger that Cash himself would likely have found favorable. And they’re developing a nice little following of tight-jean-clad hipsters to boot. Check ’em out this Saturday at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge with the indie-licious Kings for Queens and philosophizin’ rockers Socratic.

reviewthis THE CAPSTAN SHAFTS, ENVIRON MAIDEN (Rainbow Quartz Records, CD)

Dean Wells, a.k.a. The Capstan Shafts, is an artist to pay attention to. Putting aside the considerable quality of his songwriting and his knack for effective under-production, one is left to contemplate the nature of his success. The Lyndonville-based one-man band has a national presence, which he achieved by word of mouth and a series of enthusiastic recommendations across the sprawling blogosphere, as well as on notable websites such as Pitchfork Media and the All Music Guide. Take note, aspiring indie heroes: The Capstan Shafts have embraced and been embraced by the new musical paradigm. The ease of file transferring and overabundance of amateur and professional opinion have worked to Wells’ advantage. Of course, to make the most of this model, one’s songs have to deliver, because the surplus of opinion is negligible when compared with the plethora of bands and artists looking to make their mark. The songs on The Capstan Shafts’ new album, the unfortunately titled Environ Maiden, are quite good. Wells admittedly has taken his cue from the similarly prolific Guided by Voices, at times sounding remarkably like the band’s secondary songwriter, Tobin Sprout. The songs are arranged simply, rarely exceed 90 seconds, and feature bare-bones production — all qualities that serve to draw attention to the band’s strengths. Those include a keen pop sensibility, delivered with an urgency that comes off as paradoxically casual. The tens of Tobin Sprout fans reading this article need not worry. Whereas Sprout doesn’t have the creative resources to compose a consistently engaging album, Wells has no shortage of musical ideas. Environ Maiden is The Capstan Shafts’ 17th album, and it doesn’t want for vitality, sincerity or vision. Environ Maiden is clearly the product of blind passion for well-constructed pop songs. Though I’ve never met Mr. Wells, I have not the slightest doubt that his first encounter with, say, Guided by Voices’ Bee Thousand was revelatory. At its best, the relationship between music and listener is profound and deeply affecting. The impact of hearing your favorite album for the first time, or that listen when you finally recognize its greatness, should be on par with any other milestone event: your first day of school, first kiss, near-death encounters. These — along with realizing that Queen’s A Night at the Opera contains a raw wisdom that can change your life — experiences may permanently shift your perspective. Dean Wells knows this. Put your hand to your forehead. Is your brow furrowing? Maybe you should spend some time with The Capstan Shafts. There’s a lesson you should learn. HERB VAN DER POLL

POSSUMHAW, MADTOM (Self-released, CD)

I have yet to find an acceptable term for old-timey music played by a jam band. On their second CD, Madtom, talented local group PossumHaw prove themselves capable of putting together authentic-sounding oldtime string-band music, juxtaposed with jam-rock sensibilities. Perhaps we should call it “jam-timey”? The group was one of only a few Vermont bands selected to play this year’s prestigious Champlain Valley Folk Festival, and they are part of Vermont’s new wave of exciting young acoustic musicians. Primarily composed of two guitarists, a banjo picker and a mandolin player, PossumHaw features strings prominently in their sound. Despite the relatively traditional makeup of the band, the instrumental breaks are sometimes a bit too noodly for my taste — picture the lounge of a UVM dorm circa 1972, with six stoned guys jamming away to “Sugar Magnolia.” However, when Colby Crehan takes command, things snap right to it. The guitarist-pianist has written nearly all the material here and capably sings lead on many tracks — even harmonizing with herself on the Gillian Welch-esque mood piece “Backpage Waltz.” Rounding out the singer’s compositions, husband and chief harmonizer Ryan Crehan does a solid job with the aforementioned banjo. One of the CD’s outstanding features is that it demonstrates how well the band knows their genres: When a song is meant to sound high and lonesome or bluegrass bop, it delivers. That’s not to say that the band plays derivative music, as many of the PossumHaw originals — including the catchy “Stoneysides” and my current favorite, “Young Lynn” — feature compelling stories strengthened by riveting musical arrangements. Madtom was recorded and mastered at Northern Track Recording in Wilmington, and the album’s overall sound is warm and alive. That said, a few minor flaws detract from the overall performance: Ryan Crehan’s banjo is at times diluted by too much “fingerpick scraping the string” — a symptom, perhaps, of miking the instrument too closely. Both lead guitarist Charley Eiseman and mandolinist Matt Kolan are fine pickers, and both could have been mixed louder at times to make their presence felt more forcefully, especially during the breaks. Overall, the mix works well. In particular, the album’s second cut, “Come Up and Find Me,” makes you want to do just that. All in all, Madtom is a very enjoyable and well-played disc. PossumHaw show off their jam-timey chops and celebrate the release of their new disc Wednesday, October 10, at Nectar’s, with local mountain-blues mavens The Eames Brothers. ROBERT RESNIK

“802” Redux

More on the hip-hop story, with a little help BY DAN BOLLES ast week, I wrote an article for this paper titled “Livin’ in the 802,” which highlighted some of the up-and-coming hip-hop artists in and around Vermont. As the genre and attendant culture has grown in popularity and relevance nationwide, so, too, has the lakeside hamlet of Burlington seen an increase of hip-hop artists and fans. It was my feeling the genre had been vastly under-reported in Seven Days. Being in a unique position to do something about it, I decided to explore the current scene. Despite its front-page over-selling as “VT’s hip-hop history,” the article was intended to simply serve as a primer for those who, like myself, were woefully unfamiliar with the local scene. While some degree of historical perspective was offered, in no way was the piece meant to serve as the definitive record. To do that, I’d need a series of articles, if not an entire issue. During my brief tenure as music editor, I have on numerous occasions come clean about my relative ignorance not only about local hip-hop but the entire genre. By committing to stories such as this one, I hope my education will be swift and, ultimately, comprehensive. So it’s always a pleasure when folks who have knowledge to share write in

L

THE

with previously untapped perspectives. Such was the case last week when a letter from Infinite Culcleasure — better known to local club-goers as DJ Infinite — slid across my desk. Here it is: Let us please set the record straight: A conversation about “VT’s hip-hop history,” especially in Burlington, is grossly incomplete without acknowledgment of WRUV and Melo Grant. If you grew up in Vermont and loved hip-hop, you probably grew up listening to Grant’s voice while she spun music you hadn’t heard before anywhere else. Melo has been playing hiphop in Burlington for almost 20 years. I touched down in B-town in 1991, before Red Square existed. Club Metronome was Border, Second Floor was Club Toast and Fattie Bumbalattie was spelling his name out one syllable at a time on the mic beside a very impressive acid-jazz group. From 1991 until Higher Ground opened in Winooski, one could only find local hiphop publicly in two places: WRUV by way of the incomparable Melo Grant, and a young Latino stand-out by the name of DJ Luis Calderon, or in the basement/attic/ apartment of some misplaced urban impresario. Before the noise ordinance became unreasonable, we didn’t have to rely on downtown venues to have a good time. We’ve still got the flyers to prove it. Just to give an example of what the

social climate was at the time, the President’s office at UVM was taken over by Black, Asian and Hispanic students in order to force a more diverse curriculum and faculty on campus. A very popular radio station operating in the area would occasionally announce their slogan, “100% hip-hop and rap-free radio” just to clarify where they stood in terms of hiphop music — although they did play SaltN-Pepa and Naughty By Nature. I won’t get too deep into the politics of how hip-hop culture has been received by Vermont in the past decade. But I do strongly suggest that Vermont hip-hop historians dig a little deeper, while being cautious of romanticizing a so-called hiphop renaissance in Vermont. Some local hip-hop honorable mentions and shout-outs include: DJ A-Dog, Anton, Benny L, Big Country, Big J, Dubee, ELV, Joey K, Rhino, and Rugger (Tim Diaz), Akbar a.k.a. First God, Trey, Trauma Unit, Shabar, Flex Tone Massive, 69 Main Street, 25 Orchard Terrace, L Burners, Higher Ground (in Winooski), Club Toast, Vinyl Destination and Pure Pop. Damn straight. I. Culcleasure As I said in the original article, hiphop has been alive and well in Vermont almost as long as the genre has been in existence. However, in recent years, local

fans have been treated to an explosion of artists and promoters doing things that have gone largely unrecognized by Vermont media. It was my hope that last week’s feature would serve as an introduction to folks who are interested in hip-hop but know little about the scene in their own town. The piece was not the last that will be written about Vermont hip-hop in these pages, and the artists featured in it are not the only ones who deserve attention. I’d like to thank Mr. Culcleasure for taking the time to set me straight. Perhaps at some point down the line, we’ll give Vermont hip-hop the “Ken Burns treatment.” I’d also like to thank the local hiphop artists who reached out and introduced themselves to me since the article ran — I want to know who you are. In the words of GI Joe, knowing is half the battle. Or, as GTD might say, kill the disease, spread the cure. That said, I’m not a mind reader. If you’re upset that you’ve never seen your name in print, do something about it. “Livin’ in the 802” was written because people like Nastee and Burnt MD made conscious efforts to bring me up to speed on what they do. That’s how it works. So come on, Burlington. Holla back. �

Do you like Beck? Here at Seven Days, we like Beck quite a bit, thank you. We also like stuff that Beck likes, for example, psy-

Dr. Dog. The eclectic magnate recently employed his trusty “two turntables and a microphone� to remix a version of the band’s single “The

Girl� for a special vinyl 7-inch. To say the least, we’re intrigued. So much so that there’s a good chance you’ll see a few of us at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this

linear thinking What’s the intellectual landscape of a man of God? Award-winning playwright Rinde Eckert provides an answer in Horizon, a highbrow homage in song, sketch and rumination to the teachings of influential American theology scholar Reinhold Niebuhr. In it, an unconventional teacher of ethics at a Christian seminary works all night on his last lecture after having been pressured to resign by dogmatic powers within his church. During a deliberative evening, he talks with his wife, argues with his dead brother’s ghost, and procrastinates by working on a comic allegory about two immortal masons who have been building the same church foundation for more than a thousand years. Eckert (pictured) plays the lead in a three-person cast that includes actors Howard Swain and Middlebury grad David Barlow. ‘Horizon’

scene@ OKTOBERFEST

JACKSON ICE ARENA, STOWE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29,11 A.M. pHoTo: Jon TaYLor

Ah, Oktoberfest. When else is it acceptable to drink beer in public at 11 in the morning, outside of sporting events? For that matter, where else can you go where people look at you funny if you’re not drinking this early? Stowe held its 11th annual Oktoberfest in the rigidly cold Jackson Ice Arena last Saturday and, from the traditional tapping of the first keg onward, the beer flowed endlessly. Three styles of Otter Creek drafts were offered, from the light Vermont Lager to the dark Copper Ale. The real star of this selection, however, was the seasonal medium Oktoberfest brew, which was crisp and refreshing, particularly before the crack of noon. As I sipped my beverage and awaited the arrival of my parents — who were visiting from Connecticut — I passed the time by admiring the gusto of Ken Schumann, reprising his prestigious role as the Stowe Oktoberfest burgermeister for the 11th consecutive year. Roughly translated, the burgermeister is the mayor of the celebration, and his job is to make sure his guests enjoy themselves. As lederhosenclad oompah band The Krazy Firemen played traditional polkas, Schumann made the most of this title and its duties, leading the crowd in traditional toasts and dances. Most importantly, he made sure to keep himself well hydrated, which he assured me was a task in itself. “I practice drinking beer all year long to prepare for this weekend,” Schumann said with a slight smirk. “Beer treats me well all the time.” This was his theme throughout the day, as he gestured with a gigantic wooden beer stein to elicit cheers from the crowd. My parents finally entered the arena to join the other rambunctious attendees and we shared a drink together, toasting to Oktoberfest and good times. When my father and I sat down to eat our bratwurst and sauerkraut, my mother observed, “Basically, it’s about eating and drinking. That’s the gist of it, right?” Right on, Mom. Cheers. JON TAYLOR

photo couRstey oF: Ballet FolkoRIco de mexIco

Think “ballet,” and what comes to mind usually involves tulle and toe shoes. But the Ballet Folklórico de México is a dance company famous for flashier costumes. Founded in 1952 by acclaimed choreographer Amalia Hernández, the troupe has since become a world-touring cultural repository of south-of-theborder dance styles. Hernández used her training in classical ballet and modern dance to create formal stage settings of steps once seen only in Mexico’s village squares. The Folklórico’s 58 performers serve up a confetti-sprinkled fiesta, featuring giant stick puppets, ruffle-skirted ladies stamping their feet atop wooden boxes, live mariachi music, a lariat-spinning cowboy, and sombreros swirling in an authentic Mexican hat dance. UVM anthropology prof Luis Vivanco fills in cultural contexts for the Mexican moves in a pre-show talk. Ballet Folklórico de México

CROWD CONTROL Four years ago, California businessman Ed Hartman had an epiphany while waiting in a hospital for his grandson to be born: What would the United States look like if — just like China and India — one billion people lived there? (The nation’s head count recently reached the 300 million mark, and demographers predict it will pass 400 million by 2040.) Concerned that too many U.S. citizens assume they don’t need to worry about the environmental concerns that accompany overcrowding, Hartman wrote The Population Fix: Breaking America’s Addiction to Population Growth. In it, he critiques society’s “more is better” mentality, hypothesizing that, while government, business and the media benefit from a boom of potential customers and constituents, overpopulation equals doom for individual quality of life. Hartman tackles the controversial topic and possible solutions in a talk based on his book.

RIVER RITES The Winooski River isn’t Vermont’s longest waterway (that title goes to Otter Creek), but it does flow through the state’s most populous towns. Not surprisingly, it has its share of ecological problems. The Friends of the Winooski River, a Montpelier-based nonprofit, focuses conservation efforts where they count: At the headwaters, where small changes make a big difference downstream. This Saturday, a kid-friendly festival helps educate the public about how to go with the Winooski watershed’s flow. Volunteers gather at 9:30 a.m. to plant a riparian buffer of native tree seedlings. After lunch, folk singer Colin McCaffrey provides a soundtrack for ecology exhibits and reed-requiring craft demos; a guided canoe trip and nature walks celebrate native species; and streamside landowners get info from hands-on workshops on aquifer health and stream dynamics.

If you’re looking for full-on kink or BDSM play, you’ll get what you need here. WOMEN seeking… CINDERELLA WITH THE DOUBLE DS You know, I’m refusing to give up! 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? I’m looking for a little bit of the wild side with some domination thrown in, but admittedly, I’m somewhat of a novice at things. I’d love some help in that department. biggrlzdocry, 32, #106753 NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE I am full-figured and lonely.

SexySecret, 21, #105152 DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS I love to say no - think you’re good enough to make me want to say yes? Can you afford to own me? Ooh, Daddy, I like it rough, but you’d better be sweet and reward me for all I do for you or this kitten will grow claws! mama_pajama, 38, u, #104953 I NEED SOMETHING NEW I’m looking to have fun with a hot girl who wants to go down anywhere.

Mistress

Maeve

Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust! Dear Mistress Maeve, I don’t think there’s a tactful way to ask this question. Then again, you don’t seem to mind tactless. When I’m sitting on my girlfriend’s face (I’m a lesbian), I always stop short of orgasm because I feel like I might pee when I come. The pressure builds up, and as I’m about to come, I get the very distinct sensation that usually happens right before I pee. Is this normal? Is it even possible to pee when I’m coming? I hope you can help me, because this is our favorite position, and it’s so disappointing to stop short of the grand finale.

i Spy... Good to see you again. You were on crutches sadly. I wish I had said something.Unforunately I watched you hobble away.You seem really intriguing.Maybe If your available we can share our stories of battle.Hope you feel better soon. When: Sunday, September 23, 2007. Where: Waterfront. You: Man. Me: Woman. #902458 Beautiful Blonde Bridesmaid, Nectar’s 9/29 I’m so sorry I forgot your name - how RUDE! You got my thoughts, my curiosity and my card with my office number. I would love to finish the conversation we started. I may even stop my night job, who knows? I really don’t think you are one of those girls I told you about. Prove me right. When: Saturday, September 29, 2007. Where: front of Nectar’s/Manhattan Pizza. You: Woman. Me: Man. #902457 Katie’s new computer I helped you move your files from your ex’s old machine to the new one. Hope all those agricultural spread sheets come in handy. Drop me a line if you want some more keyboard short cuts : ) When: Wednesday, September 26, 2007. Where: local computer store. You: Woman. Me: Man. #902456

Signed, Coming or Going?

Dear C or G, You’re right. I don’t mind tactless, especially when we’re talking about an issue that prohibits you from enjoying your favorite position. Unlike men, who have a little on/off switch that prevents them from peeing during orgasm, women can urinate during sex. If you notice that you “leak” a little pee when you laugh, cough or exercise, you’re more likely to leak in bed, too. This type of leakage is more common among older women and women who’ve had a baby. Women can reduce this type of incontinence by performing Kegel exercises (ask your doctor, or check my blog for a link). If you don’t experience leaks at other times, chances are you’re just getting confused. When your partner’s tongue is working your clit, it’s nearly impossible for her not to stimulate your urethra, as they’re located only about a fingertip’s width apart. The pressure of her tongue combined with the pressure you create by “sitting” on her face is likely to make you feel the urge to pee, but it doesn’t mean you will. My advice is to urinate right before you have sex, then relax and let it flow (so to speak). Chances are you won’t urinate, but a little pee never hurt anyone, anyway. You never know — the experience might be so hot that neither of you will know if you’re coming or going.

Warm and wet,

MM

P.S. And always remember to urinate after sex — it will help keep those pesky urinary tract infections away.

The guy told me his name and what he did — he’s a teacher — and I asked him if he was free to come over and check out the place. Within half an hour of placing the ad, I had found the ideal roommate.
