MAN-ASS AFFAIR Just the other day, for some unexplainable reason, I was strolling around Manhattan, and I started wondering what ever happened to Rusty DeWees. It’s been a good handful of years since The Logger first chopped his way to the top of the Vermont stage. And, even after milking its success as hard as his well-calloused hands would allow, it would be hard to imagine that the Green Mountains’ premier good ol’ boy was still drawing any sort of crowd with his axeswinging, pseudo-woodsman humor. Golly, was I ever wrong. As it turns out, Rusty is still seen as one sexy redneck by the ladies of Vermont. And who was I to question his continuing level of success? Certainly there is no greater benchmark for fame than appearing nude, chestnuts cupped, on the cover of our beloved alt-weekly [Seven Days, August 1]. It’s well known in the halls of 255 S. Champlain that I have no knee-jerk hatred of man ass as cover content. No, my sadness at seeing Rusty so splayed had little to do with not wanting to feast my eyes on his ’70s pornstar fur, but more with the fact that the Vermont arts scene has

yet to find a suitable replacement for such a cartoonish star. Isn’t it time our state’s bright minds come up with someone else to love? Ethan Covey

farmer. Now, why didn’t he also put that in his book? Remy Chevalier WESTON, CT

Chevalier owns and operates hempprotein.com, the first online re-seller of certified organic hemp protein powders.

BROOKLYN, NY

Covey is a former music editor at Seven Days. WILLIE SPEAK UP? I’m surprised that the author of the news flash about hemp [“Weed Whacking,� August 29] didn’t bother to ask the owner of the hemp clothing store Save the Corporations (from themselves) for his opinion! I’m also curious to know how an industry can possibly hope to thrive when you have an army of war-on-drugs crusaders trying to shut it down at every opportunity. It’s like building a sand castle during a hurricane with the tide coming in! This year, Farm Aid is being held in New York on September 9 on Randall’s Island. I also find it interesting that Willie Nelson’s new book about biodiesel out on Fulcrum Press makes no mention of hemp anywhere in the text, in effect sanctifying Monsanto GMO corn & soy. Willie is all over YouTube with interviews advocating a return to hemp agriculture for the American

Save the Corporations is located in Brattleboro.� HEMP WILL BE BACK I think you should talk to Arthur Hanks of the Canadian Hemp Trade Alliance (CHTA) before you print such a story [“Weed Whacking,� August 29]. You’ll find that the truth is quite different. “Nabi Chaudhary, senior economic analyst for Health Canada, said the drastic drop in

production is a direct result of a declining hemp market. ‘[Farmers] didn’t see that the market was there in 2007, so they cut down on their acreage,’ he said, explaining that many hemp farmers were stuck with a surplus of crops left over from a ‘stagnant’ market following the 2006 growing season.� This statement is uneducated at best. The market is (and always will be) there. You will find that,

Âťwebpage Âť 08 Presidential Poll online

George W. Bush’s days as president are numbered, and the race to replace him is heating up. Seven Days News Editor Patrick Ripley writes this week that Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama has picked up a few bigname local supporters — Vermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell, State Treasurer Jeb Spaulding and former Burlington mayor Peter Clavelle have all endorsed the senator from Illinois. We’re taking this opportunity to conduct a non-scientific reader poll — who’s your favorite candidate? Tell us whom you’d choose to top the Democratic and Republican tickets in 2008. Vote online this week at www.sevendaysvt.com. We’ll announce the winners next week in this column. Only 14 more months before you can vote for real. Âť can blogging save civil liberties? The Vermont chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union asks that question in a panel discussion in Middlebury on Monday, which happens to be Constitution Day. I’m on the panel, along with Bill Simmon of “Candleblog,â€? who won a Daysie award this year for being Vermont’s best nonpolitical blogger. National political writer and blogger Steve Benen, of “The Carpetbagger Report,â€? is also on the panel, along with Fred Lane, author of The Decency Wars, and Middlebury College writing professor Hector Vila. The conversation takes place Monday, September 17, at the Ilsley Public Library in Middlebury, starting at 7 p.m. Steve Benen and I are on

another panel this weekend at the Burlington Book Festival, entitled “Writing in the 22nd Century.� University of Vermont Professor and author Tom Streeter is speaking with us, as is my esteemed colleague Paula Routly, publisher/co-editor of Seven Days. Jeff Rutenbeck, Dean of Creative Communications at Champlain College, will moderate. Should be fun. Come see us on Saturday, September 15, from 1-2 p.m. in the Alumni Auditorium at Champlain College.

“The Revolution pops up in lots of unexpected places. Network newsrooms and local TV stations are really the last places where this will happen. Particularly networks. But as with the web, small start-ups out in the sticks are the places where change will come first. Vermont is a pretty good definition of ‘out in the sticks,’ but there, far from the psychological pressures of ‘real’ TV makers, Eva Sollberger has started generating some pretty compelling

The steady march towards full rights for women has certainty reached the domain of marriage ritual. Bachelor parties — a long-time staple for the groom and his cohorts — have given rise to the bachelorette parties (originally dubbed “hen� parties), where the bride gets to, well, go nuts and embarrass herself as much as her future husband does at his shindig. I’m not sure how this ritual plays out in other parts of the country, but here in the Queen City, it has become de rigueur for the bride and her pals to eventually wind up downtown carousing the bars and clubs. These bachelorette posses are immediately identifiable amid the hubbub of a weekend night crowd: they are the ones whooping it up on the street, arms in the air, dancing and yelling like maniacs. The matron-of-honor is generally the organizer and instigator-in-chief, leading the pack from club to club. But the woman of the evening is, of course, the bride-to-be, and she is identifiable by the tiara and veil. (The demure and oh-so-dainty accoutrement of a giant inflatable penis has also become a popular carry-along.) A beautiful and giddy bride graciously agreed to a photo by an anonymous cabbie this past weekend. Please rise in your seats — here comes the bride. . . See the photo and read more online. . .

More Doom and Gloom About Newspapers I was just reading a book review of -30- The Collapse of the Great American Newspaper, a collection of essays about the state of journalism, and noticed some comments about St. Mike’s prof David Mindich, who contributed to the book. Robert Franklin, who wrote the review, was impressed by what Mindich had to say: “...the most interesting ideas come from journalism Prof. David T.Z. Mindich, who argues that solutions lie outside the newsroom and must ‘create a society in which young people feel that reading quality journalism is worthwhile.’ Mindich would require more TV news programming, including some for kids. If he ran the world, he’d also diversify newspaper and broadcast ownership, test civic knowledge on college-entrance exams and promote ‘meaningful’ politics and the teaching of quality journalism. ‘There is even evidence that, despite conventional wisdom, quality sells,’ he writes.� Not sure I like the “more TV news programming� part — I haven’t watched TV news in years — but I think Mindich is on the right track.

WINOOSKI — When the City of Winooski worked out a deal with the state to pour $174 million into its downtown infrastructure, local officials promised taxpayers they wouldn’t have their pockets pilfered to help pay for the improvements. Even Governor James Douglas offered his support, repeatedly touting the effort as a model for smart urban growth. The downtown revitalization project was the largest ever attempted in Vermont and, at the time of its approval in 2004, was the largest state-guaranteed project in the country. But now, with the tax impact of the project fixing to land squarely on the shoulders of local homeowners, city officials are scrambling to keep their no-tax vow.

“It’s frustrating to see that they built this great big downtown and half of it is not filled [with tenants], and the ones that are down there are mooching off all of us poor homeowners who are paying the taxes,� says Eileen Fraga, a Winooski homeowner whose tax bill jumped $1000 as a result of a state mandated citywide reappraisal in April.

to the city’s unique situation, each pointing to different aspects of taxation procedures. All mention the impact of the downtown revitalization and the establishment of a tax income finance (TIF) district that encompasses the rebuilt area. For many Winooskiites, that’s a touchy subject. “I’m not getting into this,� says Rep. Clem Bissonnette (DWinooski), when asked to discuss the recent reappraisal and establishment of the TIF district. Bissonnette was mayor of Winooski during much of the redevelopment project’s initial stages and has been lauded by state officials for his role in it. “I’m not ready to have a conversation with the press about the TIF,� Bissonnette reiterates. The TIF district was approved by Winooski voters in 2000 and first came into play in 2005, says City Assessor James Trzepacz, explaining that state legislation surrounding the district is unique and extremely complicated. “I think it’s new for all of us, and that there’s a learning curve and we can’t just conduct business . . . because that’s the way we did it in the past,� Trzepacz says. “It’s a whole new dynamic

says Susan Mesner, a state tax economist. She explains that municipal development projects can at times be a double-edged sword. The revitalization project “may be great for redevelopment in one sense, but there is this problem that it’s non-taxable,� she says. “[The money] has to be made up for in some way.� For now, at least, that difference appears to be coming out of homeowners’ wallets. Terry Zigmund has lived in Winooski for eight years and is facing an $1100 increase in her tax bill. “You do the math,� she says. “I don’t know how many people have that extra money sitting around to pay taxes. I am self-employed, so I just have to hustle more.� A glass artist, Zigmund also shares a studio in Burlington’s South End. But local officials have not forgotten their promise. “When we started to talk about downtown redevelopment, we told folks that the downtown redevelopment wasn’t going to cost the taxpayers extra money,� says O’Brien. “We feel that’s a moral obligation on our part.� The mayor explained that city and school officials have already met with state tax representatives to challenge the latter’s handling of the TIF district. “We’re trying to figure out, how did the state treat the TIF district, and is that how it is supposed to be treated?� he says. The city assessor is currently re-evaluating numbers sent to the state and suggests there should be an 8- to 9-cent reduction in the city’s municipal and

opened up last month’s quarterly tax bills. Some found their property values had doubled and their taxes had spiked as much as 20 percent. The shock is still reverberating through this already economically fragile locale. “People are living in Burlington for less money and send their kids to, probably, a better school district,� complains Ann Atkins, a 16-year resident who grew up in the Onion City. “I mean, let’s face it, the Winooski School District is not the best.� When she got this year’s tax bill, asking for an additional $1600, it was the last straw. Atkins promptly planted a “For Sale� sign on her front lawn. She says she’s noticed others in the community doing the same. “How long are we going to be stuck?� she wonders. State and local officials attribute the drastic increase in taxes

because of the Winooski project.� City Mayor Mike O’Brien said he was as surprised as anyone when he opened his tax bill. “I fully expected there was probably going to be some sort of shift in the burden of taxes from commercial to residential, but I didn’t think it was going to be as significant as it was,� he says. The downtown revitalization, which is funded with a combination of local, state and federal loans, includes the rotary, parking garage, commercial and retail development, public infrastructure and the new home of the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation — the city’s largest employer. As part of the state loan agreement, some TIF properties are tax-exempt. “What I think has happened is that there were taxable properties in the [TIF] district that were replaced with tax-free properties,�

education tax rates, which would mark a substantial decrease in homeowners’ tax bills. More meetings with state officials and local public meetings on the matter are expected within coming weeks. “I think we have a good argument,� O’Brien says, “but it’s an argument we have to make to the state.� Susan Mesner of the state tax department says her office has not yet been presented with any information that would change their calculations. It “would have to be a pretty compelling argument,� she said. “But we are still in discussions with them.� “I feel strongly about fighting,� declares O’Brien. “How far we go is a decision that will be made by myself, the city council, the school board and the citizens. We’ll go as far as we have to go until we get an answer that is satisfactory.� >

A volUnTeer cleAnS UP ScrAP TireS in The WinooSki river lAST SATUrdAy

MONTPELIER — Last Saturday, more than 40 volunteers climbed into rowboats on the Winooski River in Montpelier, and it wasn’t to take a sunset cruise. The boaters were dredging scrap tires, a common throwaway item that continues to turn up in Vermont’s waterways and spark debate over what the state should do about the dumping. In addition to being unsightly and disturbing riparian life, submerged tires can adversely affect river ecosystems by leaching substances such as cadmium, according to the Vermont Natural Resources Council. Two Vermont legislators have taken notice and are drafting a bill that would require tire distributors to charge an extra $1 disposal fee on each tire sold. The bill, which Representatives Jon Anderson (DMontpelier) and Jim McCullough (D-Williston) plan on introducing this winter, would funnel the money directly to the state’s 10 solid-waste-management districts, which collect and dispose of tires. Opinions are mixed regarding the effectiveness of the proposed legislation. While environmentalists welcome the bill as a step in the right direction, a tire-industry lobbyist questions the severity of Vermont’s tire-dumping problem, and a regional solid-waste-district director suggests the bill frames the debate too narrowly. McCullough, who serves on the House Fish, Wildlife and Water Resources Committee, said the tire bill is just one of several he’s been working on that address an “ongoing” statewide problem. He’s been working on tire-specific legislation for more than a decade. Tire dumping “is one of those things that’s pretty hard to document,” admits the Williston rep who runs the Catamount Outdoor Center. “But it appears that there’s a pretty substantial problem.” According to 2003 Environmental Protection Agency figures, Americans discard approximately 300 million tires a year — the equivalent of one tire per citizen. In Vermont, that would translate to more than half a million tires. In 2003, about 100 million tires were recycled in the U.S.; some 130 million were burned as “tire-derived fuel.” Last November, tires made

local headlines when Vermont environmental groups and Republican Governor Jim Douglas criticized an International Paper facility in Ticonderoga, N.Y. — across the lake from Addison County — for planning to burn tires as a source of fuel without proper pollution controls. After a brief test burn, the Tennessee-based company discontinued the project. The leading opponent of Anderson and McCullough’s bill is the Maine-based New England Tire and Service Association (NETSA). Speaking with Seven Days from a charity golf event in Massachusetts, NETSA Executive Director Dick Cole says that, unlike in other New England states such as Maine and Rhode Island, “There are no major illegal dump sites in Vermont.” He bases his claim on information provided by national lobbying organizations such as the

than 40 volunteers salvaged tires. NETSA’s Dick Cole attended as a self-described “observer,” checking to see whether the tires were recently dumped or leftovers from previous years. His evaluation of the cleanup is still pending. This Thursday, Cole will join Montpelier High School students for a second river cleanup. But Ann Smith is wary of his cooperative spirit. “I don’t want to see this one cleanup held up as ‘here’s the answer,’ or a proof,” she cautions. “It needs to be looked at as a broader issue.” Officials at Montpelier’s Central Vermont Solid Waste Management District (CSWD) also recognize tire dumping as a serious issue facing the state, but say more needs to be done. In the last 10 years, CSWD has cleaned up almost 9000 tires from 55 illegal dump sites, including the Winooski River. Dis-

Tire Industry Association and the Rubber Manufacturers Association. In addition, Cole wonders why tires are being singled out in the first place. “[Of] those that have written Representative Anderson, almost all of them have said that it’s not just tires,” he insists. “It’s computer stuff, couches, TVs, shopping carts, all kinds of things. Do we now tax a dollar on every TV that’s sold . . . on and on? Or do we try to enforce the current laws?” Ann Smith, program director for the Montpelier environmental group Friends of the Winooski River, sees Cole’s point — sort of. “Last year, we pulled 72 tires out of the river,” she counters. “I don’t think we had a single couch or TV.” But Smith does worry that consumer tire-disposal fees — which range nationwide from zero to several dollars per tire — can encourage illegal dumping. Friends of the Winooski River sponsors annual river clean-ups. At last Saturday’s event, more

trict Director Donna Barlow Casey says that even if this new bill were to pass, it wouldn’t be much more than a “good step.” That’s because the extra money would only be a “minimal” help in balancing an already tight operating budget. “I think that the ultimate solution on tires is some sort of effort to create markets and . . . producer responsibility,” Casey suggests, “around a system that allows the tires to be remanufactured or recycled in a way that’s environmentally beneficial.” Casey’s vision won’t be realized for a while, however — if ever. Last year, CSWD recovered fewer than one in 10 scrap tires. “Right now, even if all the tires were able to be collected and no more to be illegally dumped, there aren’t sufficient uses for the end material for that system to be sustainable,” she notes. “And there’s not a lot of work being focused on pushing that responsibility upstream.” >

Board game ends in attack

Taking Sides Prominent Vermont dems Back oBama

BURLINGTON — The Barack Obama train continued to chug through the Green Mountains this week, picking up steam along the way — not to mention three key passengers from Vermont’s political scene. Attorney General William Sorrell and State Treasurer Jeb Spaulding will announce their endorsement — the first from Vermont officials of their stature — of Obama this Wednesday, September 12, at Club Metronome in downtown Burlington. Former Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle will also announce his backing. Sorrell says both Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Sen. Obama (D-IL) sought his endorsement. Clinton’s camp contacted the AG as recently as last week, but he says he told them he’d already made up his mind to support Obama. “I think he’d be a great president. I think he’s a very smart guy and has a tremendous range of life experience,” says Sorrell. “I am not trying to say negative things about any Democratic candidate for president. I just have positive things to say about Barack Obama.” Clavelle, speaking Tuesday morning about his motivation to support the freshman senator, called Obama the candidate for change. “After years of George Bush in the White House, it’s time for . . . a new vision, a new spirit,” he says. Spaulding could not be reached for comment as of press time. With the Vermont primary a little more than six months away, on March 4, Clavelle says it’s time to get on board. “The train’s leaving the station, and you either watch it go by or jump on. I don’t think it’s early at all, given the front-loading of the primary schedule. For those who care about the election cycle,” he emphasized, “now’s the time to get involved.”

SOUTH LONDONDERRY — If you thought stashing funny money under the Monopoly board was foul play, consider what a South Londonderry man allegedly did to his checkers partner. Vermont State Police arrested Solomon Henderson, 35, of South Londonderry, earlier this month after a board game he was playing with fellow resident Howard Thompson turned into an assault. Police said Henderson struck Thompson in the head with the board, opening up a gash on his head. Thompson was treated and released from an area hospital. Henderson was charged with aggravated assault.

The endorsements from prominent Vermont politicos are yet another indication that Obama may be the state’s Democratic choice for the presidential nomination. An August fundraiser at the Norwich home of Bill and Jane Stetson netted more than $250,000 for the Obama cause; the Illinois senator is, so far, the leading fundraiser in Vermont. Sorrell, Spaulding and Clavelle will make their announcement at the Club Obama Organizing Party, which will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. at 188 Main Street in Burlington. » Vote in our presidential poll online.

Grange Update LocaL outcry staLLs FerrisBurgh Project

FERRISBURGH — Plans for a $2.75 million reconstruction of the historic Ferrisburgh Grange, which was destroyed by arson more than two years ago, suffered a setback after a group of locals spoke out against the proposal at a select board meeting late last month. Due in part to that opposition, the board opted not to approve the plan in time for an August 31 deadline with BreadLoaf Corp., the project’s manager. Now contracts will have to be re-bid, which could inflate its cost. Questions over whether the Grange should be resurrected in an expanded, multipurpose form spurred the debate. “It’s a poor mix,” Ferrisburgh realtor and local civic activist Carl Cole says of the plan to include town offices in the Route 7 building. He suggests the Grange Hall, completed in 1868, should be rebuilt in its original configuration, with town offices shifted to a more efficiently designed structure that could be built on adjoining land. “We have enough money to do both projects,” Cole insists. Silas Towler, a leading advocate of the pending proposal, calls Cole’s alternative “totally unrealistic.” He notes that the plan to include the offices and a community center in a 7700-square-foot version of the Grange Hall had been approved by Ferrisburgh voters in 2004. Local officials appear determined to move ahead with that plan. The town’s zoning board issued a building permit last week, but it doesn’t take effect until a 30-day appeals period has passed. Cole doesn’t plan to file an appeal of the permit but says he won’t be surprised if someone else does, and that would stall the project until next year. But he’ll acquiesce if officials do go forward with the original plan. “I won’t be party to something that tears the town apart,” he declares. KEVIN J. KELLEY

Got Milk With babies at their breasts, a small group of mothers camped out in front of Applebee’s restaurant at University Mall last Saturday afternoon as part of a silent protest against the company’s policies regarding public nursing. The local feed-in was a response to an event that occurred at a Kentucky Applebee’s, where a nursing woman was asked to cover herself. In South Burlington, just under a dozen protestors, including mothers, infants and one father, spent the noon hour in front of the restaurant. While babies nursed, the adults chatted with passersby, several of whom offered words of encouragement. One of the mothers, Tabitha Escobedo of Colchester, nursed 9-month-old Ava while her husband Ernest sat nearby. “I’m totally behind it and I think they should be able to breastfeed whenever they want,” he said. “One hundred years ago this wouldn’t have been an issue,” said South Burlington parent Julie Wahlin as she nursed her 3-year-old daughter, Anna. The Applebee’s corporate office stands by its decision to make nursing mothers cover up, but has agreed to offer blankets for them to do so. PATRICK RIPLEY

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

“Of all the ways that chicken can be preapred, the lemon Garlic Chicken is one of the best. We use Misty Knoll chicken breasts, stuffed with Vermont chevre, then glaze in the oven with lemon and garlic.”

Vermont’s New Voice?

N

ever heard of him. Neither had the members of Vermont’s congressional delegation, but, hey, life is full of surprises. The latest arrived quietly in the Saturday edition of the Rutland Herald/Times Argus. The news was that Vermont has a brandnew voice in Washington. In addition to U.S. Sens. Patrick Leahy and Bernie Sanders and Rep. Peter Welch, we’ve also got Craig Pattee, a New Hampshire native who’s president of Dutko Worldwide — www.dutkoworldwide.com/professionals/ craig_pattee. The Pattee contract, worth about $70,000 over six months, went out quietly and without going to bid. Pattee, a Mitt Romney for President supporter, will represent Vermont interests “in the morass that is Washington,” according to Gov. Jim Douglas’ spokesman Jason Gibbs. “I’m glad the Douglas administration realizes that they need professional help if they are to stem the tide of damage headed Vermont’s way from the Bush administration,” Democratic House Speaker Gaye Symington told “Inside Track” this week. Democratic Rep. Welch’s Chief of Staff Bob Rogan told yours truly he didn’t recognize Pattee’s name. “Never heard of him,” said Rogan. “Look forward to working with him.” A few eyebrows were raised by the fact that the state contract was not put out to bid. If anything, it was kept rather hushhush. Spokesman Gibbs said the Douglas administration “needed boots on the ground” in Washington in early August. Strange that they didn’t even notify our elected team on Capitol Hill, eh? Vermont’s Washington troika had to read it in the paper like everyone else. When we followed up this week, Jason the Argonaut spun it like this: “Much of the work that we’re doing in D.C. is related to the National Governors Association and building consensus among governors, something the delegation can’t do,” he said. “Their focus is on legislation, and helping Vermonters receive various federal services and the day-to-day sniping of Washington.” Nice, eh? However, noted Speaker Symington, “It’s a sorry state of affairs that so many states have reached the point of having to hire expensive partisan political lobbyists to protect themselves from their federal government.” Dr. Deb vs. Novartis — Very interesting interview, in Saturday’s New York Times, with Daniel L. Vasella, chief honcho at the $39 billion Swiss-based Novartis pharmaceutical company. “Health-care costs have increased to 16 percent of gross domestic product,” said Vasella. “That creates enormous pressures on the system.” No kidding. We in the United States spend the most but get far from the best results when compared to countries where universal care and coverage is provided as a right of citizenship. Everyone’s in. Health, not profit, is the priority. In Vasella’s view, however, everything

B[ced =Whb_Y 9^_Ya[d

would be better if we just had “better patient education and better nutrition,” and dealt Ryan Creed with the unhealthiness brought on by “lack of exercise and being overweight.” There exist, he said, “huge liabilities” for doctors, hospitals, pharmaceutical and insurance companies. It’s an over-$100-billion-afor current menus year industry, he said. Everybody’s got to take their cut, eh? The Novartis CEO was asked by the Times if he had seen Sicko, Michael Moore’s enlightening summer movie, the one that dramatically exposed the downside, waste 2x5-paulines081507.indd 1 and unhealthy greed of America’s profit-driven and crumbling health-care system. No, Mr. Novartis had not. “But I know,” said Vasella, “[Moore] has great skill in mixing things which are true with things that are skewed or biased.” Really? Unfortunately, the pharmaceutical CEO did not provide a single fact to back that little credibility smear job. And, unfortunately, the once-prestigious New York Times did not ask him to. But “Inside Track” couldn’t let Vasella slide. We forwarded the interview to Vermont’s leading health-care-for-all activist, Dr. Deb Richter, a Cambridge, Vermont, family practitioner. She has seen Sicko many times. And the good doctor even set up her “Vermont Health Care for All” table outside the movie theaters, signing up folks on the VHCA petition calling for universal health care in the Green Mountains. That’s something Vermont’s Statehouse Democrats appear to have dropped the ball on. “The facts in Michael Moore’s movie are dead on,” said Vermont’s point-person on health-care reform. Richter provided a World Health Organization report that made the dry observation, “For its income level, the United States has an unusually high proportion of its population without health insurance protection.” Richter also attached the statistics from the Paris-based Organization for Economic 2x5-Leunigs091207.indd 1 Cooperation and Development showing how life expectancy in the United States has dropped several notches compared to that in other countries with universal coverage, including Canada, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Spain, Denmark, Finland, France mashed potatoes, and Greece. Michael Moore, said Dr. Richter, “has local seasonal veggies backed up every single fact with peerwith a sweet reviewed data published in well-respected and spicy glaze. journals.” Moore’s data, said the Vermont firebrand, “is right on the money. The U.S. trails behind every other leading industrialized nation in all measures.” How much longer can we go on pretending it ain’t so? Let’s face it: “Profititis” is killing us.

Howard Dean signed, behind closed doors — the civilunions law that put Vermont in the forefront of equal rights for same-sex couples. As history has unfolded, none of the fire-and-brimstone warnings that the Green Mountain State would become a Sodom and Gomorrah for gays and lesbians has come to pass. In fact, things have become so mellow that the only gay bar in Burlington closed down. Several other states have followed Vermont’s lead in instituting civil unions, while Massachusetts went all the way and made full marriage legal for samesex couples. Robinson argues that Vermont civil unions fall short of providing all the protections and benefits of civil marriage. One of the benefits of civil marriage, she said, is “the legal status of being married.� The very fact that this conversation arouses such intense debate, said Beth, “is a testament to the importance of that legal status of being married to so many people across the spectrum.� But doesn’t the Vermont Legislature have more important “bread-and-butter� issues to address? “I guess that we’ve done a bad job,� replied Robinson, “or the media’s done a bad job, of communicating what’s happening, because in fact the whole point of this commission is that the legislature isn’t spending a second on this issue. This isn’t a legislative commission.� She’s referring to the Vermont Commission on Family Recognition and Protection, a.k.a. the Gay Marriage Commission, which was established a month ago. Of the 11 members, just two are members of the legislature — one from each chamber. “This is happening outside of the Statehouse,� Robinson said. “It’s happening through volunteer time. It’s happening around the state in public hearings. It’s not something that, by design, is going to take any legislative time.� In fact, keeping the issue outside the Statehouse, said Robinson, was “a critical piece of this strategy� for the Democratic leadership — House Speaker Gaye Symington and Sen. Peter Shumlin. Both Symington and Shumlin, Robinson noted, “have been very clear that the legislature is not going to take it up next year.� Markie Mark the talk-show host also inquired about the behind-the-scenes chatter that suggests Speaker Gaye and President Peter came up with the study commission as a way to keep Robinson and the Freedom to Marry folks at bay . . . in the short term. “It’s certainly a more incremental path than I would personally like to be on,� Robinson answered

frankly. But she said she recognized the “concerns and trepidations about going back� to the allout battle of 2000 “are pretty widespread, and I agree it makes sense for us to get this conversation back into the grassroots of Vermont.� A check of the commission’s page on the legislative website shows the group’s first public hearing has yet to be scheduled. For the latest, go to www.leg.state.vt. us. Scroll down and click under “Issues of Interest.� Dubie Correction — Got it wrong in the print edition last week. Republican Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie has been in the final running for the Federal Aviation Administration’s top job, chief administrator, not the number-two spot of chief operations officer. An announcement is expected any time, but as we go to press there’s still no word. Pins and needles. If Doobie-Doo, our favorite American Airlines pilot, is picked to be the new FAA administrator, he is expected to resign his LiteGov post. What Happens? — According to Bill Russell, the veteran chief of the Vermont Legislative Counsel, it’s a different situation than in 1991, when Gov. Dick Snelling died and Lt. Gov. Howard Dean was sworn in as governor. In that first term, Ho-Ho was “the lieutenant governor acting as governor.� It was understood by the great legal minds of Montpeculiar that there was no vacancy in the Lite-Gov to fill. This time, if Dubie were to get the FAA post and resign, it would be different. “There would be a vacancy,� said Chief Bill, “and the governor would have the opportunity to appoint someone to fill that vacancy.� Names such as former GOP Statehouse standouts House Speaker Walter Freed of Dorset and State Sen. John Bloomer of Rutland immediately come to mind. Russell Staying On — Attention! Plans for Bill Russell’s retirement have been put on hold, we learned this week. Bill turns 65 in November. Been there since 1972. But after meeting on Monday with the management consultant/ facilitator hired by the legislature to define his job, “The process is beginning to get very, very elaborate and taking a long, long time,� he says. Besides, he has nothing planned for retirement. The legislature has been the drill for Bill since Richard Nixon was president. Media Notes — Questions in media land over whether or not a line is crossed if a political writer not only attends a fundraiser for a political candidate, but forks over a financial donation, too! The case involves UVM English professor Philip Baruth, who in his other life is a political blogger, and a pretty decent one, too. Baruth is the author of Vermont Daily Briefing, winner of

SEVEN DAYS | september 12-19, 2007 | track 17A

a Daysie for Best Political Blog as voted by Seven Days readers. Baruth also appears on the “Vermont This Week� press panel on Vermont Public Television. The Vermont press was not allowed entry at the August 12 closed-door Barack Obama fundraiser in Norwich, which reportedly raised more than $250,000 for the presidential hopeful, the most ever at a Vermont political fundraiser. Baruth, an unabashed Obama supporter, was allowed in. In fact, he interviewed Obama and wrote extensively about it in his blog and later discussed it on the “Vermont This Week� press panel. Yours truly was on his left. Times Argus Editor Sue Allen was on his right. And when yours truly asked him after the program if he had made a financial contribution to Obama’s campaign to gain entry, he admitted he had. The blogger/professor declined to say, however, how much he donated. That fact will become public record when the campaign finance report is filed. Philip Baruth is a fine gentleman and a good writer. But a line is crossed, is it not, when one unabashedly touts a political candidate, even donates money to their campaign, and then joins the “press� panel on public television to discuss the race?

Wedding Bells — The Ol’ Dean Team got together in Winooski on Friday for the biggest reunion since the magical-mystery-tour presidential race of 2004. Howard Dean may not have won the Democratic nomination, but a lot of good things came out of the Dean Campaign, including romance! Co-Deputy Campaign Manager Tom McMahon and Kristen Morgante were married at St. Stephen’s Church. Kristen was Campaign Manager Joe Trippi’s assistant. This time around, Joe is managing John Edwards’ bid. “Howard was acting like the proud father, glowing with pride,â€? Co-Deputy Campaign Manager Bob Rogan told “Inside Track.â€? About 200 attended, said Bob, now chief of staff for Congressman Peter Welch. “It was an eclectic mixture of political operatives from around the country.â€? Started almost a half-hour late, too, because of that Winooski rush-hour traffic. The reception followed at the “newâ€? Hilton in Burlington. Ho-Ho, now the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, was in good shape, said Rogan. Dr. Dean said he lost 24 pounds since the height of the presidential race. Time flies. Mr. Rogan, who previously worked on the Fifth Floor for Ho-Ho, turns 48 on Wednesday, as this edition of Seven Days hits the street. Happy birthday! ďż˝ Read “Freyne Land,â€?

Robinson is an agricultural advisor for the Hemp Industries Association. POWER-HUNGRY POLICE When I think of the police, I do not feel safe. I feel angry. The other day I was getting my morning coffee when I saw an event that sparked that anger. A car traveling into Winooski from Burlington entered the Winooski traffic circle in the righthand lane. At the same time, a police car in the circle passed the outlet towards Burlington and continued around the circle. If the two cars had been in the same lane, the police car may have had to slow down. If the police car was signaling (I couldn’t tell) to change to the right lane, the car entering still did the right thing (when entering a roundabout, keep moving unless you are going to hit another car). The police car’s reaction: Mat the gas and nearly t-bone the other driver. If this is any other driver, he is an asshole with road rage who is unfit to be on the road with other drivers who are aware that they are not the only car on the road. Why should the police be allowed to behave in this way? 2:25:57 PM The incident I describe is small potatoes compared to Tasering someone for not doing what you say [“Brattleboro Stunned by Police Use of Tasers on Protestors,� August 1], but it is an abuse of power nonetheless. Enough is enough. Les Wetmore WINOOSKI

MORE THAN A WOMAN Emily Carr is, hands down, the best artist this side of the Atlantic. Thanks to art critic Marc Awodey for helping to spread the word about this extraordinarily gifted Canadian [“True North,� August 15]. His review touched on a couple of important issues. First, Carr was sensitive to Native American culture and was herself tied to a Canadian art milieu actively seeking to define its own identity. Secondly, that Carr can be seen as important to Canadian art as Frida Kahlo is to Latino art and Georgia O’Keeffe is to U.S. art. This analogy . . . is likely to continue to gain strength, but I think only as an artifact of the increase in attention to Carr’s work. I’m not enthusiastic about the comparison. It seems to perpetuate the idea that women’s work remains a separate category, a division that Carr herself struggled with. Sadly, at the same time that Carr was welcomed into the studios and homes of contemporary art stars — “The Canadian Seven� — she was told that she would be one of them if only she were a man. Carr’s work suffers at the hands of those curators who

superimpose history for the sake of narrative. The MontrĂŠal show, for all its organization, only incidentally allows for the real authenticity of her work to emerge. The “cult of authenticityâ€? could not have been as precious to Carr as it seems to be today. But if we evaluate her work through that lens, the originality of her later works — paintings and drawings portraying the deep woods and remote coastal regions — hits at a visceral level. As a painter myself, I continue to learn much from her, and this show knocks me out. Karen Dawson BURLINGTON

BATTLE BOOZE While John McCardell, Jr. makes some compelling points [“All Stirred Up,� August 22], I am always wary of solutions that add more of the problem to solve the problem. Drinking to excess, clearly an ongoing problem with today’s youth in our country, is an issue with many complex underlying causes and many serious negative implications for both individuals and society. So, why allow a whole new margin of even younger people an easy, legal route to alcohol? I would also note that a great deal of male-centered thinking is apparent in this movement to lower the drinking age. Several people raise the argument: If young men are old enough to die for their country at 18-years old, why aren’t they old enough to drink legally? To my mind, a more enlightened question would be: Why are we sending 18-yearold youths, and anyone else for that matter, to die in wars created by men and fought by men? Perhaps if the young people of America, who are growing up in an increasingly alienating world, did not have the all-pervasive stress of losing their lives or those of loved ones to fruitless wars, there would be less need for blitzing out on alcohol. Stephanie Calanthe Victoria BURLINGTON BAD MEDICINE Ken Picard’s report on the HPV vaccine [“State Health Department Calls HPV Vaccine Watchdog Group a Bunch of Worry Warts,� August 22] presented only part of the boondoggle that’s coming to light about this product. The Merck campaign for Gardasil, the HPV vaccine, is not designed to wipe out HPV or cervical cancer (which, Picard pointed out, is rare in Vermont); rather, it seems designed to make money for Merck. A recent financial analyst’s report on Merck said that the company is banking on Gardasil to pull it out of the financial hole created by its Vioxx fiasco. The company’s own quarterly statements report spending on marketing at nearly twice the level of spending on R&D in order to introduce the vaccine worldwide. The academic research on the efficacy of the

vaccine, reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, was supported by Merck. According to Corpwatch.org, the company rushed the vaccine through an outsourced, third-world bunch of trials, with little third-party supervision; efficacy of the vaccine beyond three years or so is not known. States are now paying money to Merck for the vaccine — essentially giving the company money to conduct ongoing experiments on young women. The approach is not just sexist — it’s wrong. A colleague who practices in Boston City Hospital and works closely with an epidemiologist said that the major problem with the current promotion of the vaccine is that it ignores half the carriers of HPV: males. The epidemiological equivalent of the current strategy would be to vaccinate for smallpox by going down only one side of the street. Clearly the point is not to eradicate the disease; otherwise, all potential carriers would be vaccinated ‌ Katharine M. Hikel, MD HINESBURG

THANKS FOR THE COVERAGE I want to thank Ken Picard, and Seven Days for employing him. Week after week, Ken keeps us informed about important political trends in the state — the latest example being his coverage of the disturbing “rights of conscience� bill introduced in the last legislative session [“VT’s ‘Rights of Conscience’ Bill Would Shield Health Care Pros Who Deny Care, Prescriptions,� August 29]. There’s so much information like this (e.g., his explanation of Burlington’s zoning revision) [“ZZ-Z-Zoned Out?,� August 15] that matters to me and is hard or impossible to find elsewhere. It sure ain’t in the Free Press — “free� of hard news, I think they mean. Seven Days could maybe skate by with shallower contents. I really appreciate the fact that, instead, you provide some of the most substantive journalism in the state. Julia Curry BURLINGTON

BY KEN PICARD

Woody Allen once said that sex is dirty only if it’s done right. Something similar can be said about political art: It creates controversy only when it’s done right. For more than 40 years, Peter Schumann has been creating controversial art. His Glover-based Bread and Puppet Theater, which he founded in New York City in the early 1960s, has long been a fixture at antiwar protests and other massive public demonstrations. His papier-mâché puppets, with their evocative and often eerie visages, challenge the status quo, mock the powers-that-be and take aim at the instruments of violence — whoever perpetrates it. But some members of Vermont’s Jewish community are accusing the German-born dancer, musician and puppeteer of crossing the line with his mural featured in this year’s South End Art Hop. The 70-foot connected series of latex-on-cardboard paintings will be on display each weekend in September at the former Maynard Auto Supply building.

“Independence Paintings: Inspired by Four Stories” was prompted by Schumann’s recent trip to the Palestinian West Bank, as well as his reading of John Hersey’s The Wall, about the Warsaw Ghetto. In the paintings, Schumann compares the treatment of the Palestinians by the Israel Defense Force to the Nazis’ treatment of the Jews of Warsaw during the Holocaust. The day after Friday night’s Art Hop opening, the activist group Vermonters for a Just Peace in Palestine/Israel sponsored a talk by longtime B&P puppeteer Joel Kovel. Kovel is also the author of a book entitled Overcoming Zionism: Creating a Single Democratic State in Israel/Palestine.

But even before Schumann’s painting had been seen in Burlington, local pro-Israel activists were already decrying it as a “softcore denial of the Holocaust.” According to several people who attended Saturday’s event, about a dozen of the 100 or so people in attendance tried to disrupt the

event by handing out leaflets, waving Israeli flags and badgering the speaker. One protester reportedly carried a sign that read, “Puppets lynch Jews,” with a drawing of a Jew being hanged. Rabbi Joshua Chasen of Ohavi Zedek Synagogue urged his congregants to see the exhibit before passing judgment on it. Chasen says he hasn’t asked that the exhibit be taken down, but he does find it deeply troubling and offensive. “I readily accept that not every criticism of the policies of the State of Israel is anti-Semitism,” Chasen writes. “But attempts to de-legitimate the existence of a Jewish State within living memory of the Holocaust send shivers down the spine of many of us Jews who . . . know in the sinews of our souls that we still live in the lifeboat that the State of Israel provided for the Jewish people in 1948.” Neither Schumann nor a spokesperson for the South End Art Hop could be reached for comment as of press time. >

New Joe on the Block at UVM BY MIKE IVES

The University of Vermont’s new Davis Center is hogging all the attention up on the hill. OK, the recently opened monolithic structure does represent UVM’s most ambitious building project in recent memory. But on the other end of campus, the

placed java spots. At least that’s the word from Fleming Museum Executive Director Janie Cohen. “This is something we’ve been wanting to do for a long time,” she explains on a recent morning at the designated site. “Museum visitors should be able to meet a

Robert Hull Fleming Museum is quietly renovating its lobby in anticipation of a new gift shopcum-coffee lounge with wi-fi. For artsy students with early morning classes, caffeine enables consciousness. The Davis Center notwithstanding, UVM’s campus still needs more strategically

friend, take some time, you know.” The space Cohen refers to is, like the museum itself, a blend of disparate styles. The 1930s lobby wall — incidentally, the building’s former outer façade — is blood-red brick. An adjacent floor, which was added in the 1980s, is regal marble. Tall

glass panels surround the space. Fittingly, Cohen says, the new enterprise will serve multiple purposes. Against the wall, tables will hold carafes of Speeder & Earl’s coffee and trays heaped with baked goods. A nearby nook will offer museum merch, such as tote bags. “I’m hoping that UVM students, but also people beyond UVM, will see this as an unusual place to have a meeting,” Cohen says. “It’s public, but there’s some privacy in it, too.” The details of this new socializing spot, she suggests, will crystallize later. But not too much later: The as-yet-unnamed gift shop-coffee lounge opens September 20, to coincide with a reception for the fall exhibitions. “This is such a gorgeous architectural space,” muses Cohen, gesturing at the wall, floor and windows. “It’d be a shame not to take advantage of it.” >

A New Gallery Ups the Arts Ante in St. Albans Some college students spend their leisure hours stumbling through bars. Not Stina Plant: While attending Syracuse University in the late 1990s, she and her friends hit art shows and gallery openings. “It was a heady experience, and it never got old,” says Plant, 29, now living in East Fairfield, Vermont. “When I landed back in St. Albans, I wished I could bring back some of that experience.” And so she has. Last weekend, during a day-long open house that attracted dozens of artists and well-wishers, Plant opened the first downtown art gallery St. Albans has seen in years. Its name: STAART. This northern Vermont town has seen an artistic surge in the past two years, with the formation of local consortiums such as the St. Albans Artists Guild and the Bishop Street Artists, and shows at the historical museum. Yet the city has lacked a permanent arts spot. Plant spent many a late night — after her day job as a photographer for the St. Albans Messenger — scheming and hoping for a space that would enable her to organize the local arts community.

Lost missives and photos from around the world have appeared in the pages of this popular, zinelike publication since it launched in 2001. Why put other people’s junk on display?

That novel broaches the hot-button issue of Alzheimer’s — and the questions it raises about memory and the workings of the mind. Protagonist Noel Burun’s mother, only 58, is starting to show heartbreaking signs of the disease. Noel, in an irony not lost on him, is gifted with a photographic memory. He’s also a synaesthete, meaning that his brain processes one sort of sensory input via another — in Noel’s case, he “sees” sounds as color. Meanwhile, loner Noel’s one friend, Norval Blaquière, has made a small bet to sleep with 26 women in 26 weeks in alphabetical order of their first names (the Alpha Bet). He’s stalled at “S.” His next prey could be either Noel’s mother, Stella, or the beautiful Arabic-Canadian one-time film starlet Samira Darwish, who has memory problems of her own. Yet another quirky character in The Memory Artists is JeanJacques Yelle, a teddy-bearish eBay addict who lives in the junk heap formerly known as the Montréal cemetery gatehouse. Pause here for a big breath and a paranoid look over your shoulder. These five characters come together not by accident but through the machinations of a certain Dr. Emile Vorta, a neuropsychologist at the University of Québec. Like a Wicked Witch of the North rubbing his hands together delightedly, Vorta declares in the novel’s Foreword that combining these particular people has proved no less potent than “throwing five volatile compounds into a beaker and

Moore adds, “A cure, though, is probably a decade away, tops.” Meanwhile, in flagrant disregard of his character Norval’s opinion that “authors should be read and not heard,” Moore will read from his novel this Saturday. What kinds of experiments will the postmodern trickster conduct on his unsuspecting Burlington audience? “Two things to watch for,” he writes. “A visual re-enactment of something colossally embarrassing that happened to me at a reading in Paris; and a quick quiz of the audience to see who suffers from synesthesia (in mild cases, people sometimes don’t even know they have it, or that the condition has a name).” > The Memory Artists by Jeffrey Moore. St. Martin’s Griffin, 336 pages. $13.95. Jeffrey Moore will read from his novel on September 15 at the Burlington Book Festival, Waterfront Theatre Great Room, Third Floor, 11:30-12:30 p.m.

MORTGAGE RATES DROP DESPITE MORTGAGE ‘CRISIS’ Despite the endless news stories about the ‘Mortgage Crisis’ conventional fixed rates have been slowly but steadily declining in recent weeks. From a high of around 6.875% percent in June, rates have decreased to approximately 6.375%-6.50% for a 30-year fixed 0 point loan. How can this be with all of the talk about interest rates spiking and credit tightening? Simply put, it is only ‘unconventional’ loans that have been affected by the recent upheaval. However, if you can document income, have decent credit and are looking to borrow below the conventional limit of 417k, mortgage money is widely available and rates are down. So when does it make sense to refinance? If you have an adjustable rate mortgage or need cash for debt consolidation, college education or1x4-RyanBooks090507.indd home improvement, now may be a good time. You should also consider refinancing if you have a home equity loan or line of credit. The prime rate is currently at 8.25% and, in many cases, the rates on home equity loans may be even higher. What about the costs to refinance? If the cost to refinance is zero, as it is with a true no-cost refinance program, then refinancing, even if you recently purchased your home, makes sense as long as the new rate is lower than your current ‘blended’ rate (the rate that includes your mortgage, home equity and any other debt being paid off). Furthermore, if rates drop after you close, you can simply refinance again with no closing costs. The only downside of the no-cost refinance is that you will pay a slightly higher rate than if you pay closing costs to refinance.

all worthwhile human knowledge

What’s the dubious part? Mammoth meat exists; ergo, someone’s tried to eat it. Forget “Fear Factor� — anyone old enough to remember when hot food was regularly served on domestic flights can tell you: some people will eat anything. Old-time paleontology lore is full of tales in which half-starved explorers or hunters defrost an icebound mammoth carcass, but most of these are impossible to verify and sound far-fetched at best. In a fairly skepticalseeming 1872 item, The New York Times passed along a report from some French adventurers trying for the North Pole who claimed to have found in Russia so many well-preserved mammoth specimens that for a time they “lived entirely on mammoth meat, broiled, roasted and baked.� The nature novelist James Oliver Curwood, who traveled extensively in northwestern Canada, told the Chicago Tribune in 1912 about dining with Indians who’d happened upon a frozen mastodon (not the same as a mammoth, but close enough for our purposes); he described his steak’s color as “deep red or mahogany� and its flavor (somewhat unimaginatively, I’d say) as “old and dry.� Accounts once flourished of “mammoth banquets� held in Saint Petersburg and Paris, but most sources now consider these apocryphal. Anyone picturing a whole delicious world of mammoths up there in nature’s freezer case needs to face some basic facts. First, undamaged carcasses don’t turn up too often. Only a few near-intact mammoths have been discovered in the last 30 years or so — the extremely well-preserved calf found in Siberia this May being the latest — and a 1961 article in Science magazine reports that of 39 carcasses found to that point just 4 were reasonably complete. True, more remains will emerge as global warming thaws out the permafrost, but this brings us to our second problem: the meat that does survive is nearly always revolting. The Science article says that “all the frozen specimens were rotten,� and though some firsthand accounts of long-ago mammoth finds have claimed the flesh looked OK, typically it smelled horrifying and only wild scavengers and the locals’ dogs would eat it. Even when mammoth meat isn’t actually putrid, it still doesn’t make great eating. According to Richard Stone’s book Mammoth (2001), Russian zoologist Alexei Tikhonov (who figures in articles about the recent Siberian find) once tried a bite and said, “It was awful. It tasted like meat left too long in a freezer.� With this in mind, it makes sense that the most legit claims of dining on prehistoric meat don’t involve big juicy sirloins but rather the odd edible chunk or two.

Dear Cecil, My dad and I were discussing how long meat kept in the freezer remains safe for consumption. He mentioned that an organization called the Explorers Club had thawed out a prehistoric woolly mammoth, cooked it, and eaten it. This seemed dubious at best to me, so I thought I’d ask that great font of wisdom, Unca Cece. Has anyone in modern times ever eaten a preserved piece of prehistory? Garth Lewis, via email

What a Shame

S

hame gets a bad name in America, and most of the time yours truly can be found among its detractors. Especially where sex is concerned — and in America, sex is usually concerned — my judgments are few. If it’s safe and consensual, I say, hold your head high. So I hereby absolve two objects of recent public sexual shaming: Gregory Viens, arrested in Moretown for sneaking into his boss’ barn to shtup the cows; and Idaho Senator Larry Craig, nabbed playing footsie with an undercover cop in a Minneapolis airport men’s room. In the first case, according to the Valley News, the local vets certified that “no harm came to the cows.” In the second, harm would have come to no one. Defense-of-Marriage Craig’s taste for the urine-scented assignation warrants no self-loathing, congressional investigation or arrest.

When Larry Craig stands at a podium beside the wife and kids and proclaims, “I’m not gay,” he isn’t exactly lying. Still, the man isn’t off the hook. Of what should he feel ashamed? The easiest way to describe Craig’s wrongdoing is hypocrisy, a word increasingly apt for the entire GOP. Indeed, as the deviant predilections and sex-crime convictions of a growing list of elected officials come to light (for a comprehensive catalogue, see armchairsubversive.com), the right wing of the party is beginning to look like the chateau in Pier Pasolini’s film Salò, where the upper echelon of Italy’s fascist officers enacts upon a group of youths the sexual tortures described in de Sade’s 120 Days of Sodom. It’s almost axiomatic that the most aggressive public moralizers are the perviest practitioners in private. But the workings of shame make the discrepancy between Craig’s public “family values” stance and his semi-public “wide stance” more complicated than hypocrisy. Psychologist Elliot Aronson, whom I mentioned last month, notes that a person suffering cognitive dissonance labors internally to erase contradictions between his word and his deed, or between the way he sees himself and the ways others see him. As Aronson told Susie Bright in her always on-target blog, “Everyone can spot a hypocrite except the hypocrite himself.” Self-justification isn’t just internal. The sociologist Laud Humphreys, in a much admired 1970 study of homosexual public sex titled “Tearoom Trade,” found that more than half of his men’sroom cruisers were married and living with their wives; only 14 percent considered themselves gay. To appear — and feel — certifiably straight, these self-described heteros commonly adopted fiercely conservative public personae. Humphreys called the posture a “breastplate of righteousness.” In other words, when the righteous Larry Craig stands at a podium beside the wife and kids and proclaims, “I’m not gay,” he isn’t exactly lying. For “Poli Psy” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Judith Levine, email levine@sevendaysvt.com.

one thing, Mr. and Mrs. Craig may regularly enjoy marital congress out there in Potatoland. But even if they don’t, if Larry doesn’t consider himself gay, who are we — especially those of us clamoring for a cultural and legal space between genders and sexual “orientations” — to call him gay? And if he honestly believes he isn’t gay, can we even call him a hypocrite? The one label the senator has undeniably earned is bigot — even if his actions stem from self-hatred. For his long and valiant crusade to encode his homophobia as the law of the land, he should be truly ashamed. At first, Craig’s humiliation seemed to have inspired humility. In his resignation speech, he confessed — five times — that he was “humbled” by the support of his family, his friends, his constituents and numerous Idaho party apparatchiks (congressional Republicans went notably unmentioned). Did he feel he didn’t deserve it? And why? Hard to say; he was vague. For a moment, I fantasized the senator, brought low by his own misguided legislative philosophy, repenting, being born again in true brotherly love and tolerance, and making amends to all those who have been similarly persecuted. Then I snapped awake, probably to the voice of Michele Norris on “All Things Considered” reporting that Craig had already decided to fight to reverse his guilty plea, in hopes of retaining, if not his Senate seat, then a shred of his reputation. In the meantime, Senate Republicans will have to employ an ethics investigation as suspects use their jackets in a perp walk, to cover their own sullied heads. Many political commentators have suggested that laws such as the Defense of Marriage Act “drive” gays and lesbians to desperate acts in public places because they can’t do it legally — say, after

putting the kids to bed and watching a rerun of “Law and Order.” I repeat: Nobody should be arrested for the victimless crime of consensual sex. But some of us wonder sadly what will happen to eros when there is no more shame, which by definition always has its public side: It is a set of socially enforced and personally internalized rules of conduct. Consciously or not, Larry Craig may be wondering the same thing. Shame can kill libido. It can also be a powerful aphrodisiac. I suspect that many gay men of the generations that came of age before Stonewall forged deep erotic associations between getting off and the possibility of getting caught. Younger gays, growing up in somewhat friendlier times, may not relish rough or risky public sex as much as their older brothers did. But the fact remains: For a hit of forbidden sex, plenty of people will drive themselves to the docks, the dunes or the alley. Or take a plane to the airport rest room. Repressive laws keep the thrill of risk alive by keeping the danger of apprehension real. Politically and erotically, a guy like Craig gets to have his cock and eat it, too. In the end, Craig’s wrongdoing isn’t a matter of saying one thing in public and doing another in private — and not just because what he did, or was about to do, happened in public. As both supporters and opponents of same-sex marriage or gay service in the military know, sex laws are not just about “privacy” rights. Sexuality is a social fact, and expressions of desire and identity — from wearing a dress and a beard to smooching under a streetlight — are public, political acts. The Religious Right has scoured the public space of sexual speech and images, as well as sexual acts. It counts on the threat of sexual stigma to silence potential objectors. Then, once in a while, a guy bent on scouring, like Larry Craig, gets scoured. It’s a shame he can’t feel ashamed of the former, not the latter. m

Victrola’s Secret

A spin doctor keeps old music makers alive

S

t. Johnsbury’s Rod Lauman lives in a three-story, yellow 1883 house that’s furnished and decorated in a brooding Victorian style. One of his three cats, a white female, is named Victoria. STORY Within these walls Lauman operates PATRICK Victrola Repair Service, where he services TIMOTHY and sells Victrolas. Yup, those wind-up MULLIKIN phonographs with the big horns that make a vocalist sound as though he’s holdIMAGES ing his nose while he sings something that JEB WALLACE- invariably comes out “voh-doh-doh-deeBRODEUR oh-doh� at 78 rpm. A Victrola repair service? Is this some kind of Monty Python skit? On the contrary. In fact, 42-year-old Lauman suggests he’s been laughing all the way to the bank since 1990, when he started repairing these units. It’s a fulltime job. In an average year, he services 400 Victrolas from across the country, to the tune of roughly $150 a pop. That’s not counting the 50 to 100 refurbished

2x7-VTEnergy091297.indd 1

9/10/07 2:33:32 PM

and restored units that he sells for about $450 each. Some go for several thousand, he says with a grin. Are there really that many antiquated music players floating around? Oh, yes, says Lauman — who, with his T-shirt, jeans and trim goatee, doesn’t look anywhere near as fusty as his surroundings. “Wind-up phonographs were made in large numbers, 10 million or more from each of the big manufacturers,� he explains, noting those makers were Edison, Columbia and Victor. Victor, which trademarked the term “Victrola� in 1906, sold so many units that its brand name become synonymous with the device. “Even if 98 percent were sent to the dump, it would leave a few million [Victrolas] in existence,� Lauman continues. “It’s hard to calculate. They are so scattered and in different basements and attics all over the country.� It seems many are finding their way to Lauman’s workshop.

To the iPod and iPhone generation, which sees the 25year-old CD player as prehistoric, the hand-cranked, spring-powered Victrola must look pre-big bang. (Kids: Google “big bang theory” on your iPhone to understand this joke.) But the Victrola was the home entertainment system of their great-great-grandparents’ generation. The phonographs had a retail price of $25 to $30 in the early 1900s; buying one was the equivalent of getting a flat-screen television today. Speaking of TV, observant folks will recognize the Victrola as the model for the Grammy Award statuette. (Grammy is short for gramophone.) In fact, multiple Grammy-winner Beyoncé Knowles owns one of Lauman’s players, a Victor Model 4, which her staff gave her as a birthday present, he says. They also supplied the diva with a good supply of Lauman’s steel tone-arm needles. Why? If you actually want to play a Victrola, instead of just basking in its antique charm, those backups are a must. Steel needles, Lauman says, last for two plays at best. “By the second play it’s cutting the bottom of the groove. By the third play, you’ll get distortion.” Need for needles, Lauman says, draws customers to his business, where he soon entices them to purchase more of his services. “They’ll call for needles, and then I’ll tell them this is a mechanical piece. Everybody and his brother has squirted some oil on it, and nobody ever cleaned it,” he explains. “That caked-up mess of 80 to 100 years needs to be removed. Many will send it in for servicing.” A basic cleaning runs about $150, though surprise malfunctions inside the machine may mean replacement parts or additional hours. Crunch the numbers, and suddenly the idea of a Victrola repair service doesn’t seem quite so farfetched. It never did to Lauman, who became interested in wind-up phonographs through his grandparents. They owned an old Edison disc player. “I played with it as a kid, doing skits with neighborhood kids, like vaudevillians,” he says, describing what sounds like a none-too-typical ’70s childhood. “A couple of times it stopped working, and I tinkered with it. I was 13 or 14. These are very basic motors, not rocket science, typically with three or four gears.” Later, Lauman got inside more complex music makers such as the Edison cylinder player, which predates the disc player. Both amplify sound through a horn, but the former plays back music recorded on a >> 31A

A restored unit fairly glistens after its nickel parts have been buffed free of years of rust,

Lauman’s workshop has the same old-time look and feel as the products he repairs. He uses no electronic devices to calibrate the tasks he does precisely by hand — often, he says, using sheer intuition. “I have to be a woodworker. I have to be able to work with 2x5-FLYNN090507.indd the gearing itself. I have to make sure it sounds right,� Lauman explains. He uses a

That’s just what collectors of old 78s are looking for: Like their vinylloving brethren, they just want to hear their favorite music in the format it was first recorded. Many wind-ups reside on the dusty shelves of antique shops, but Lauman says the pieces he works on are more likely to be family heirlooms. Money for repair and restoration doesn’t tend to be an issue, and the family often wants the phonograph’s cabinetry refinished as well. (The original Victor Victrolas distinguished themselves from their competitors by enclosing the players in ornate wooden cabinets, a concept that soon caught on.)

handful of freedoms have almost always been a part of American democracy. Even when they didn’t exactly apply to everyone or weren’t always protected by the people in charge, a few simple but significant rights have been patently clear in the Constitution: You can’t be nabbed by the cops and tossed behind bars without a reason. If you are imprisoned, you can’t be incarcerated indefinitely; you have the right to a speedy trial with a judge and jury. When that court date rolls around, you’ll be able to see the evidence against you. The president can’t suspend elections, spy without warrants, or dispatch federal troops to trump local cops or quell protests. Nor can the commander-in-chief commence a witch hunt, deem individuals “enemy combatants,” or shunt them into special tribunals outside the purview of our 218-year-old judicial system. Until now. This year’s Project Censored presents a chilling portrait of a newly empowered executive branch signing away civil liberties for the sake of an endless and amorphous “war on terror.” And for the most part, the major news media weren’t paying attention.

“This year it seemed like civil rights just rose to the top,” said Peter Phillips, the director of the 31-year-old Project Censored, the annual media survey conducted by Sonoma State University researchers and students. They spend the year patrolling obscure publications, national and international websites and mainstream news outlets to compile the 25 most significant stories that were inadequately reported or essentially ignored. While Project Censored usually turns up a range of underreported issues, this year’s stories all fall somewhat neatly into two categories: the increase of privatization and the decrease of human rights. Some of the stories qualify as both. “I think they indicate a very real concern about where our democracy is heading,” said writer and veteran judge Michael Parenti. The Oxford American Dictionary defines censorship as “the practice of officially examining books, movies, etc., and suppressing unacceptable parts,” which Phillips said is also a fine description of what happens under a dictatorship. When it comes to democracy, the black marker is a bit more nuanced. “We need to broaden our understanding of censorship,” he said. After 11 years at the helm of Project Censored, Phillips thinks the most bowdlerizing force is the fourth estate itself: “The corporate media is complicit.

There’s no excuse for the major media giants to be missing major news stories like this.” As the stories cited in this year’s selections point out, the federal government continues to provide major news networks with stock footage, which is dutifully broadcast as news. The George W. Bush administration has spent more federal money than any other presidency on public relations. Without a doubt, Parenti said, the government invests in shaping our beliefs. “Every day they’re checking out what we think,” he said. “The erosion of civil liberties is not happening in one fell swoop but in increments. Very consciously, this administration has been heading toward a general autocracy.” Carl Jensen — who founded Project Censored in 1976 after witnessing the landslide re-election of Richard Nixon in 1972 in spite of mounting evidence of the Watergate scandal — agreed that this year’s censored stories amount to an accumulated threat to democracy. “I’m waiting for one of our great liberal writers,” he said, “to put together the big picture of what’s going on here.” Here are the top-10 most underreported or ignored stories of the past year.

1. Good-bye, habeas corpus

The Military Commissions Act, passed in September 2006 as a last gasp of the Republicancontrolled Congress and signed into law by President Bush that Oct. 17, made significant changes to the nation’s judicial system. The law allows the president to designate any person an “alien unlawful enemy combatant,” shunting that individual into an alternative court system in which the writ of habeas corpus no longer applies, the right to a speedy trial is gone, and justice is meted out by a military tribunal that can admit evidence obtained through coercion and presented without the accused in the courtroom, all under the guise of preserving national security. Habeas corpus, a constitutional right cribbed from the Magna Carta, protects against arbitrary imprisonment. Alexander Hamilton, writing in the Federalist Papers, called it the greatest defense against “the favorite and most formidable instruments of tyranny.” The Military Commissions Act has been seen mostly as a method for dealing with Guantánamo Bay detainees, and most journalists have reported that it doesn’t have any impact on Americans. On Oct. 19, 2006, editors at The New York Times wrote, in quite definitive language, “This law does not apply to American citizens.” Investigative journalist Robert Parry disagrees. The right of habeas corpus no longer exists for any residents of the U.S., he wrote in the online journal Consortium. Deep down in the lower sections of the act, the language shifts from the very specific “alien unlawful enemy combatant” to the vague “any person subject to this chapter.” “Why does it contain language referring to ‘any person’ and then adding in an adjacent context a reference to people acting ‘in breach of allegiance or duty to the United States’?” Parry wrote. “Who has ‘an allegiance or duty to the United States’ if not an American citizen?”

This year’s Project Censored presents a chilling portrait of a newly empowered executive branch signing away civil liberties for the sake of an endless and amorphous “war on terror.”

Reached by phone, Parry told The Guardian, “This loose phraseology could be interpreted very narrowly or very broadly.” He said he’s consulted with lawyers who are experienced in drafting federal security legislation, and they agreed that the “any person” terminology is troubling. “It could be fixed very simply, but the Bush administration put through this very vaguely worded law, and now there are a lot of differences of opinion on how it could be interpreted,” Parry said. Though U.S. Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) moved quickly to remedy the situation with the Habeas Corpus Restoration Act, that legislation has yet to pass Congress, which some suspect is because too many Democrats don’t want to seem soft on terrorism. Until tested by time, exactly how much the language of the Military Commissions Act may be manipulated will remain to be seen.

2. Martial law: coming to a town near you

The Military Commissions Act was part of a one-two punch to civil liberties. While the first blow to habeas corpus received some attention, there was almost no media coverage of a private Oval Office ceremony held the same day the military act was signed, at which Bush signed the John Warner Defense Authorization Act, a $532 billion catchall bill for defense spending. Tucked away in the deeper recesses of that act, section 1076 allows the president to declare a public emergency and dispatch federal troops to take over National Guard units and local police if he determines them unfit for maintaining order. This is essentially a revival of the Insurrection Act, which was repealed by Congress in 1878, when it passed the Posse Comitatus Act in response to Northern troops overstaying their welcome in the reconstructed South. That act wiped out a potentially tyrannical amount of power by reinforcing the idea that the federal government should patrol the nation’s borders and let the states take care of their own territories. >> 34A

votes in the House and cleared the Senate unanimously. Months after its passage, Leahy was the only elected official to have publicly expressed concern about section 1076, warning his peers on Sept. 19, 2006, “We certainly do not need to make it easier for presidents to declare martial law. Invoking the Insurrection Act and using the military for law-enforcement activities goes against some of the central tenets of our democracy. One can easily envision governors and mayors in charge of an emergency having to constantly look over their shoulders while someone who has never visited their communities gives the orders.� In February, Leahy introduced Senate Bill 513 to repeal section 1076. It’s currently in the Armed Services Committee.

President Jimmy Carter was the first to draw a clear line between America’s foreign policy and its concurrent “vital interest� in oil. During his 1980 State of the Union address, he said, “An attempt by any outside force to gain control of the Persian Gulf region will be regarded as an assault on the vital interests of the United States of America, and such an assault will be repelled by any means necessary, including military force.� Under what became the Carter Doctrine, an outpost of the Pentagon, called the United States Central Command, or CENTCOM, was established to

ensure the uninterrupted flow of that slick “vital interest.� The United States is now constructing a similar permanent base in Africa, an area traditionally patrolled by more remote commands in Europe and the Pacific. No details have been released about exactly what AFRICOM’s operations and responsibilities will be or where troops will be located, though government spokespeople have vaguely stated that the mission is to establish order and keep peace for volatile governments — that just happen to be in oil-rich areas. Though the official objective may be peace, some say the real desire is crude. “A new cold war is under way in Africa, and AFRICOM will be at the dark heart of it,� Bryan Hunt wrote on the Moon of Alabama blog.

The Warner act defines a public emergency as a “natural disaster, epidemic or other serious publichealth emergency, terrorist attack or incident, or other condition in any state or possession of the United States� and extends its provisions to any place where “the president determines that domestic violence has occurred to such an extent that the constituted authorities of the state or possession are incapable of maintaining public order.� On top of that, federal troops can be dispatched to “suppress, in a state, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination or conspiracy.� So everything from a West Nile virus outbreak to a political protest could fall into the president’s personal definition of mayhem. That’s right — put your picket signs away. The Warner act passed with 90 percent of the

African countries — in particular, Nigeria. According to the 2007 Congressional Budget Justification for Foreign Operations, “Disruption of supply from Nigeria would represent a major blow to U.S. oil-security strategy.� Though details of the AFRICOM strategy remain secret, Hunt has surveyed past governmental statements and reports by other independent journalists to draw parallels between AFRICOM and CENTCOM, making the case that the United States sees Africa as another “vital interest.� Source: “Understanding AFRICOM,� Bryan Hunt, Moon of Alabama, www.moonofalabama.org/2007 /02/understanding_a_1.html, Feb. 21, 2007.

4. Secret trade agreements

As disappointing as the World Trade Organization has been, it has provided something of an open forum in which smaller countries can work together to demand concessions from larger, developed nations when brokering multilateral agreements. At least in theory. The 2006 negotiations crumbled when the United States, the European Union and Australia refused to heed India’s and Brazil’s demands for fair farm tariffs. In the wake of that disaster, bilateral agreements have become the tactic of choice. These oneon-one negotiations, designed by the U.S. and the EU, are cut like backroom deals, with the larger country bullying the smaller into agreements that couldn’t be reached through the WTO. Bush administration officials, always quick with a charming moniker, are calling these free-trade agreements “competitive liberalization,� and the EU >> 36A

considers them essential to negotiating future multilateral agreements. But critics see them as fast tracks to increased foreign control of local resources in poor communities. “The overall effect of these changes in the rules is to progressively undermine economic governance, transferring power from governments to largely unaccountable multinational firms, robbing developing countries of the tools they need to develop their economies and gain a favorable foothold in global markets,” states a report by Oxfam International, the antipoverty activist group.

5. Shanghaied slaves construct U.S. Embassy in Iraq

Part of the permanent infrastructure the United States is erecting in Iraq includes the world’s largest embassy, built on Green Zone acreage equal to that of Vatican City. The $592 million job was awarded in 2005 to First Kuwaiti Trading and Contracting. Though Americans staff much of the project’s management, most of the workers are from small or developing countries such as the Philippines, India and Pakistan. According to David

home countries from working in Baghdad because of unsafe conditions and flagging support for the war, but once they’re on Iraqi soil, protections are few. First, Kuwaiti managers take their passports, which is a violation of U.S. labor laws. “If you don’t have a passport or an embassy to go to, what do you do to get out of a bad situation?” asked Rory Mayberry, a former medic for one of First Kuwaiti’s subcontractors, who blew the whistle on the squalid living conditions, medical malpractice and general abuse he witnessed at the site. The Pentagon has been investigating the slavelike conditions but has not released the names of any violating contractors or announced penalties. In the meantime, billions of dollars in contracts continue to be awarded to First Kuwaiti and other companies, at which little accountability exists. As Phinney reports, “No journalist has ever been allowed access to the sprawling, 104-acre site.” Source: “A U.S. Fortress Rises in Baghdad: Asian Workers Trafficked to Build World’s Largest Embassy,” David Phinney, CorpWatch website, www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=14173, Oct. 17, 2006.

At the airport, their boarding passes read Dubai. Their passports are stamped Dubai. But when they get off the plane, they’re in Baghdad. Once on site, the workers are often beaten and paid as little as $10 to $30 a day, CorpWatch concludes. Injured workers are dosed with heavy-duty painkillers and sent back on the job.

largest dragnet raids in U.S. history. Armed with fistfuls of arrest warrants, they ran three separate raids around the country that netted 30,110 criminal arrests. The Justice Department claimed the agents were targeting the “worst of the worst” criminals, and then-Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said, “Operation FALCON is an excellent example of President Bush’s direction and the Justice Department’s dedication to deal both with the terrorist threat and traditional violent crime.” However, as writer Mike Whitney points out on Uruknet.info, none of the suspects has been charged with anything related to terrorism. Additionally, while more than 30,000 individuals were arrested, only 586 firearms were found. That doesn’t sound very violent, either.

SEVEN DAYS | september 12-19, 2007 | feature 37A

Though the U.S. Marshals Service has been quick to tally the offenses, Whitney says the numbers just don’t add up. For example, FALCON in 2006 captured 462 violent sex-crime suspects, 1094 registered sex offenders and 9037 fugitives. What about the other 7481 people? “Who are they, and have they been charged with a crime?” Whitney asked. The Marshals Service remains silent about these arrests. Whitney suggests those detainees may have been illegal immigrants and may be bound for border prisons currently being constructed by Halliburton. As an added bonus of complicity, the Justice Department supplied local news outlets with stock footage of the raids, which some TV stations ran accompanied by stories sourced from the Department of Justice’s news releases without any critical coverage of who exactly was swept up in the dragnets and where they are now.

7. Blackwater

The outsourcing of war has served two purposes for the Bush administration, which has given powerful corporations and private companies lucrative contracts supplying goods and services to American military operations overseas and quietly achieved an escalation of troops beyond what the public has been told or understands. Without actually deploying more military forces, the federal government instead contracts with private security firms such as Blackwater to provide heavily armed details for U.S. diplomats in Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries where the nation is currently engaged in conflicts. Blackwater is one of the more successful and well connected of the private companies profiting from the business of war. Started in 1996 by an ex-Navy Seal named Erik Prince, the North Carolina company employs 20,000 hired guns, training them on the world’s largest private military base. “It’s become nothing short of the Praetorian Guard for the Bush administration’s so-called global war on terror,” author Jeremy Scahill said the on Jan. 26 broadcast of the TV and radio news program “Democracy Now!” Scahill’s Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army was published this year by Nation Books.

8. KIA: The neoliberal invasion of India

A March 2006 pact under which the United States agreed to supply nuclear fuel to India for the production of electric power also included a less-publicized corollary — the Knowledge Initiative on Agriculture. While it’s purportedly a deal to assist Indian farmers and liberalize trade (see story 4), critics say the initiative is destroying India’s local agrarian economy by encouraging the use of genetically modified seeds, which in turn is creating a new market for pesticides and driving up the overall cost of producing crops. The deal provides a captive customer base for genetically modified seed maker Monsanto and a market for cheap goods to supply Wal-Mart, whose plans for 500 stores in the country could wipe out the livelihoods of 14 million small vendors. Monsanto’s hybrid Bt cotton has already edged out local strains, and India is currently suffering an infestation of mealy bugs, which have proven immune to the pesticides the chemical companies have made available. Additionally, the sowing of crops has shifted from the traditional to the trade-friendly. Farmers accustomed to cultivating mustard, a sacred local crop, are now producing soy, a plant foreign to India. Though many farmers are seeing the folly of these deals, it’s often too late. Suicide has become a popular final act of opposition to what’s occurring in their country. Vandana Shiva, who for 10 years has been studying the effects of bad trade deals on India, has published a report titled Seeds of Suicide, which recounts the deaths of more than 28,000 farmers who killed themselves in despair over the debts brought on them by binding agreements ultimately favoring corporations. Hope comes in the form of a growing cadre of farmers hip to the flawed deals. They’ve organized into local sanghams, 72 of which now exist as small community networks that save and share seeds, skills and assistance during the good times of harvest and the hard times of crop failure.

9. The privatization of America’s infrastructure

In 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower ushered through legislation for the greatest public-works project in human history — the interstate highway system, 41,000 miles of roads funded almost entirely by the federal government. Fifty years later, many of those roads are in need of repair or replacement, but the federal government has not exactly risen to the challenge. Instead, more than 20 states have set up financial deals leasing the roads to private companies in exchange for repairs. Politicians are lauding these public-private partnerships as the only credible financial solution to providing the public with improved services. But opponents of all political stripes are criticizing the deals as theft of public property. They point out that the bulk of benefits is actually going to the private side of the equation — in many cases, to foreign companies with considerable experience building private roads in developing countries. In the United States, these companies are entering into long-term leases of infrastructure such as roads and bridges, for a low amount. They work out tax breaks to finance the repairs, raise tolls to cover the costs, and start realizing profits for their shareholders in as little as 10 years. As Daniel Schulman and James Ridgeway report in Mother Jones, “The Federal Highway Administration estimates that it will cost $50 billion a year above current levels of federal, state and local highway funding to rehab existing bridges and roads over the next 16 years. Where to get that money, without raising taxes? Privatization promises a quick fix — and a way to outsource difficult decisions, like raising tolls, to entities that don’t have to worry about getting reelected.” The Indiana Toll Road, the Chicago Skyway, Virginia’s Pocahontas Parkway and many other stretches of the nation’s public pavement have succumbed to these private deals. Cheerleaders for privatization are deeply embedded in the Bush administration (see story 7), where they’ve been secretly fostering plans for a North American Free Trade Agreement superhighway, a 10-lane route set to run through the heart of the country and connect the

Mexican and Canadian borders. It’s specifically designed to plug into the Mexican port of Lázaro Cárdenas, taking advantage of cheap labor by avoiding the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, whose members are traditionally tasked with unloading cargo, and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, whose members transport that cargo around the country.

Often these countries are on the brink of having their debt relieved by the lenders in exchange for putting the owed money toward necessary goods and services for their citizens. But the vultures effectively initiate another round of deprivation for the impoverished countries by demanding full payment, and a loophole makes it legal. Investigative reporter Greg Palast broke the story for the BBC’s “Newsnight,” saying, “The vultures have already sucked up about $1 billion in aid meant for the poorest nations, according to the World Bank in Washington.” With the exception of the BBC and “Democracy Now!,” no major news source has touched the story, though it’s incensed several members of Britain’s Parliament as well as the new prime minister, Gordon

The vultures effectively initiate another round of deprivation for the impoverished countries by demanding full payment, and a loophole makes it legal. 10. Vulture funds: Devouring the desperate

Named for a bird that picks offal from a carcass, this financial scheme couldn’t be more aptly described. Wellendowed companies swoop in and purchase the debt owed by a third-world country, then turn around and sue the country for the full amount — plus interest. In most courts, they win. Recently, Donegal International spent $3 million for $40 million worth of debt Zambia owed Romania, then sued for $55 million. In February an English court ruled that Zambia had to pay $15 million.

<BACK TO SCHOOL>

Capital Campaign Montpelier’s fine arts college will soon be fact, even if a fiction writer led the way

t first glance you wouldn’t take Thomas Greene for a college president. Just 38 years old, he’s a long way from gravitas, and his boyish face doesn’t help. He’s a three-time published novelist whose primary professional passion is writing, STORY and he’s eager to get back to it. But NAT WINTHROP meanwhile, he’s got a college to buy. And get accredited. And reinvent. Much of the work is already done. A IMAGE financial package is on the verge of JEB WALLACE- approval, the core curricula are ready to BRODEUR roll, and, if all goes well, the Montpelierbased Vermont College of Fine Arts will get a green light on accreditation next spring. So how did Greene become not only a college president but a community and academic hero, about to open the nation’s first graduate institution devoted exclusively to the fine arts? Here’s the story. In 2001, Union Institute and University (UI), the Cleveland-based “university without

walls,” purchased Vermont College from Norwich University of Northfield, Vermont. The private military academy had itself purchased, in 1978, a package of adult-degree programs from a financially strapped Goddard College — along with the campus of what was once a junior college in Montpelier. Fast-forward to 2006. Facing its own financial hardships, including a federal challenge to its financial-aid program, Union decided to offload the 168-yearold Vermont College campus. In April of that year, University of Vermont trustees negotiated to buy it — and its three Master’s in Fine Arts programs — but ending up walking away from the deal. Local residents were alarmed to learn that among the remaining prospective buyers of the campus were developers who sought to turn some of its historic buildings into condominiums. That’s when Greene, who had

recently been hired to manage the MFA programs, stepped in. “I thought UVM would have been a great asset to the city of Montpelier,” he says, explaining that Union Institute had initially intended to sell only the physical campus while holding on to its various low- and non-residency degree programs. When UVM backed out, Greene says, “It sort of knocked things loose, and in some ways it created a pathway for how we could do it.” Other faculty and staff got excited about the idea of taking on the college. But, Greene recalls, “They said, ‘We can’t lead it, Tom. If you lead it, we’ll follow.’ We started working on it right away . . . In a lot of ways, we had no idea what we were doing.” But 17 months later, Greene is poised to turn his dream into a reality — the Vermont College of Fine Arts. Virtually 100 percent of the 70-plus

part-time Union Institute MFA faculty members are on board. Greene’s plan is for the new college to buy the 11-building, 33-acre campus from UIU, then lease space back to it, as well as to the New England Culinary Institute and Community College of Vermont. In this way it will become the center of a consortium of institutions of higher learning that offer non-traditional degree programs. Since April 2006, Greene has found a business partner, put together an Alist board of trustees, raised nearly $400,000 to cover interim and transitional costs, and created a financing plan to handle the multi-million-dollar purchase price. He is well under way to securing accreditation for the fledgling college — the final step before the purchase can be finalized. Both sides expect to sign a binding purchase and sale agreement within days.

Greene acknowledges it’s been something of a rollercoaster ride over the past year. As recently as May, he had expected to close on the UI deal by early August. But, chastened and wiser from the arduous process of birthing a college, Greene is confident the deal will indeed be consummated in due time. “Both parties are working in good faith, and everybody’s in agreement about what we’re trying to do,” he says. “We’re working together to get this done as quickly as we can.” UI president Roger Sublett agrees. “I think we’re on track to bring it to a successful conclusion,” he says. Pending its accreditation, the Vermont College of Fine Arts is operating as a college-within-a-college: It has autonomy in terms of curriculum and faculty, while UI provides infrastructure and support services such as registering students and processing their requests for financial aid. Both parties expect a seamless transition next year, should all go according to plan. Greene brims with enthusiasm and confidence when explaining his long-term vision for the VCFA. “I think the beauty of it is, you can build the kind of institution you want in

haven’t. We’ve shared basically each piece of it and have done everything together. He brought credibility with Union Institute,” explains Greene. “Doing this project alone would just have been impossible.” Though Greene considers him a full copartner, Kaplan is technically a consultant. His VCFA business card lists no title. What attracted him to the project, Kaplan says, was “the importance to the community. You don’t often get the opportunity to help make something like this happen. Maybe once in a lifetime.” Kaplan has been negotiating leases with UI, NECI, CCV and several other tenants, including the Family Center of Washington County, the T.W. Wood Art Gallery, International Coins and Currency and other local educational nonprofits. NECI, which moved its headquarters to the Vermont College campus in June 2006, will lease additional buildings for student housing. “What started out as an attempt to save jobs and to save the campus has grown into something much broader and bigger,” notes Greene, “to create a campus that is rooted locally but whose reach is global. “It’s been kind of crazy, but it’s good,” continues the writer, whose third novel, Envious Moon, was published by Harper

terms of the people, the faculty you want to work with, with a progressive mission from the ground up, and having a place where it’s fun to come to work every day,” he says. If the blond, athletic Greene is an unlikely college president, so is the local businessman he recruited last summer to be his partner. Bill Kaplan, an East Montpelier resident who moved to Vermont after a successful career in real estate, had been working parttime on an assortment of conservation and community-building projects when a mutual friend suggested he and Greene meet. Both men are married to writers and are fathers of young children. Kaplan has no professional background in academics or the fine arts; he saw his role as “a temporary volunteer” at first, and didn’t think he’d still be involved more than a year later. “He woke up one morning and had a day job,” jokes Greene. “Bill has a very keen business acumen — he knows how to deal with real estate, how to run a business,” remarks UI’s Sublett, adding that Kaplan brings “a fresh vision, a creative, innovative approach . . . It’s very refreshing to work with him and Tom.” Both Greene and Kaplan point to their complementary skills and experience and symbiotic partnership. “You would think we’d play different roles based on our backgrounds, but we

VC alumni — including authors Wally Lamb and Katherine Paterson — have collectively published more than 450 books and won nearly every prestigious writing award offered in the U.S. The Atlantic Monthly recently placed the school’s MFA in Writing program in the country’s top five of its kind. On a Saturday afternoon in early August, more than 150 families and friends congregate in College Hall Chapel to honor the 2007 crop of 18 graduates of the MFA in Visual Art program. The ceremony opens with a slide show of images, set to music, of the graduates during each of their five 10day residencies on the Vermont College campus over the past two years. It’s immediately evident this is not a traditional graduation. No caps and gowns, no mortarboards, no esteemed speaker dispensing hackneyed pearls of wisdom.

worked closely with the students describe them — their personalities, challenges, fears, endeavors and triumphs — one at a time. Relatives and loved ones dispense the diplomas. The graduates, ranging in age from twenties to sixties, come from all over the country, and from diverse socio-economic and professional backgrounds. Their fields of study are as varied as their appearances: videography, painting, sculpture, photography, digital animation and other technical media. Most of the students were accomplished artists before enrolling in the program to recharge their batteries, challenge themselves or explore new art forms. Case in point: New York City sculptor Judith Lipton. “I was looking for rigor in my work and a community to work in to take my art to the next step,” she explains. Lipton has explored, mostly in her Manhattan studio, several new media over the past two years, including rice paper,

about the possibility of becoming the first college in the country to focus exclusively on the fine arts,” he enthuses. In the 1990s, before stepping back to focus full-time on his writing, Greene worked as a senior administrator and director of public affairs both at Norwich University and Vermont College. He says it occurred to him in 2001, when Union Institute first purchased the MFA programs from Norwich using the property as collateral, that Vermont College itself could have done that. “In fact,” he recalls, “there was a lot of celebration around the Union [purchase]. The phrase that was used was, they were ‘reuniting DNA.’” Greene explains that UI itself was born at a 1960s Goddard College symposium of progressive colleges, where it was dubbed the Union for Experimenting Colleges and Universities. Over time, this consortium evolved into a degree-

It’s a transformative experience . . . There’s a sense that age melts away; we’re all in this heady, hothouse atmosphere where we’re all playing for keeps.” The graduation reception takes place immediately below the chapel in the T.W. Wood Gallery, where the graduates’ work is on display. NECI, now headquartered on campus, caters the event. Rupert Nesbitt, a 39-year-old freelance illustrator from Newport, Rhode Island, and a new VC graduate, discusses the proposed sale of the campus and three MFA programs as he stands in front of his animated digital images. “I’m thrilled,” he says. “This is a program that challenges a lot of ideas. It’s good to have it independent.” “What draws us to Vermont College,” says David Jauss, chair of the MFA in Writing program, “is that we get tremendous colleagues and great students. It’s incredibly rewarding work.” Jauss concedes the pay is low, but describes the level of support for the VCFA concept among faculty and staff as “astronomical.” “There’s so much excitement

One of the first trustees recruited to the Vermont College of Fine Arts board was Montpelier Mayor Mary Hooper. “When the Union Institute announced that it was no longer going to be able to maintain this campus, I was very, very concerned about the property and the future of Vermont College,” she says. “The creative energy and the programs contribute greatly to Montpelier, and define who we are as a city and a people.” Hooper cites the capital city’s many independent bookstores. “Generally, you wouldn’t find five bookstores in a community of 80,000, let alone 8000,” she asserts. Hooper says of the VCFA, “It’s totally appropriate to Montpelier and to the central Vermont community, which is so rich in the arts, writers and other creative elements. I have a dream of the same thing happening with music and maybe dance and theater . . . It’s much more exciting than if UVM had been a partner.” Hooper is part of a “worldclass board” of trustees that Kaplan says has a local and a national perspective. It “can achieve national acclaim and not lose the character of Vermont College,” he suggests. The board includes several working artists

He knew what had to happen.” UI President Roger Sublett says Greene’s VCFA proposal best fit his institution’s criteria: “We were looking for a buyer who was willing to maintain the integrity of the campus and programs for the citizens of central Vermont,” he explains. Adds trustee Joan Grubin, “He brings the most enormous, youthful energy, enthusiasm and tenacity around the project.” But if Greene and Kaplan could put together a business plan and a curriculum, neither of them knew much about getting a college accredited. It’s a lengthy process, Greene explains, that includes a 200page self-study and a site visit from representatives of the New England Association of Schools & Colleges, with whom he met last month. “They laid out a pathway to do it, a very aggressive schedule,” reports Greene. Though accreditation normally takes about two years, he expects a decision by their board in April. Hogan emphasizes that the VCFA is “a financial asset to the community; it ensures that that beautiful campus will endure, in terms of its history and tradition.” He suggests that the consortium of colleges on the hill will attract skilled faculty and provide a spectrum of learning opportunities — not just for long-distance students but for Vermont residents — in the form of seminars, colloquia, lectures, readings and art exhibits. “These kind of enterprises are not straight lines; these types of projects are always a few steps forward, a couple steps back,” adds Hogan. “It’s not going to be easy, but it’s all going to be worth it.” So, if the Vermont College of Fine Arts becomes a reality next spring, will Thomas Greene continue to lead the way? “I’ve always wanted to get back to my literary career, to be a full-time novelist, and I’ve been clear with the board about that from the start,” he says. “I’ll get it up and running smoothly; I’ll stay involved however long it takes, but I want to get back to where my heart is.” �

Strolling into the gallery proper, Hankins cautions that the creations in this show shouldn’t be confused with average “arts and crafts.” Rather, she chose pieces with strong “conceptual underpinnings.” In 2005, the curator took a similar approach with her exhibit “New Turf ” — a collection of conceptually innovative representations of landscape. By spotlighting familiar terms such as “craft” and “landscape,” she attempts to attract Vermonters who might not go out of their way to look at contemporary art. But she’s not talking down to her audience, Hankins notes. “I’m really conscious of the fact that bringing contemporary art to Vermont doesn’t make sense.” True to her intent, the pieces in “Material Pursuits” embody both folksiness and intellectual rigor. Jane South’s “Untitled (Paralleling),” for example, is a three-dimensional labyrinth of paper-and-balsa-wood cages, spokes and machine gears. It’s as if Charlie Chaplin’s seminal film, Modern Times, had been converted into a hobby-

Titled “Silk Purse,” Pepe’s is one of three commissioned site-specific installations for “Material Pursuits”; another is a group of surreal, jumbo-sized crocheted sleeves that hug several trees on the north lawn. The latter, which could be leggings for a Cyclops, were stitched by Tunbridge resident Alisa Dworsky. It’s funny to hear Hankins, dressed in artchic black, talk about Pepe’s stringy affair as if it were a Cézanne. “What’s really interesting [about this piece] is it has this everyday, common sensibility,” she observes. “And to do that in a neoclassical setting is . . .” Hankins trails off, then adds, “It says, ‘Let’s transform this space.’”

store window display. Hankins says she appreciates the way South offsets an “industrial aesthetic” with “cartoonish humor.” Other works explore different, but related, social themes. One notable example is James Esber’s portrait series of Abe Lincoln. Just like Van Gogh portraits, all three Lincolns have been distorted through rich swirls of red, blue and mustard yellow. The catch? They were made with raw, unfired plasticine instead of paint. As with South’s industrial-looking labyrinth, Esber’s thematic commentary is whimsical but assertive.

gests, the Brooklyn-based artist subtly questions how representations are influenced by history and temporality. For visitors without any art-history credentials, this exhibition might seem like wild innovation. But, as Hankins points out, the use of common objects in “high” art goes back to the early 20th century. Picasso affixed “found objects” such as rope and newspapers to his canvases as early as 1912; in 1917, Duchamp exhibited a urinal and called it art. The impulse to re-cast everyday materials was also explored in the 1960s by such artists as minimalist sculptor Robert Morris and fiber artist Sheila Hicks. If “Material Pursuits” harkens

“conceptual underpinnings” through low-tech materials. The sculpture, a hanging ball of fabric flowers containing foot-long wire helicopters, was inspired by the 9th-century bas-relief from Assyria — a.k.a., present-day Iraq — on display in the adjacent Marble Court. All the flowers in Schneider’s work are native to Mesopotamia. Hence, while “Bouquet” could be mistaken for the centerpiece in a florist’s shop, it’s also a complex reference to Middle Eastern history and American imperialism. Though “Material Pursuits” showcases a host of mid-career artists, it offers glimpses of a

the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City. And just last week her first book, KnitKnit: Profiles and Projects from Knitting’s New Wave, was published by Stewart, Tabori & Chang. Speaking with Seven Days by cellphone while walking the sidewalks of New York, Gschwandtner admits that her art is, in some respects, a throwback. She used leftover slides in this exhibition partly to honor the knitter’s credo of mending and reuse. “In the ’70s, which was the generation where women rejected handcraft as a form of domestic activity, textiles exploded,” Gschwandtner explains. “That was a similar time where there were big shows which includ-

Hankins cautions that the creations in this show shouldn’t be confused with average “arts and crafts.” Rather, she chose pieces with strong “conceptual underpinnings.” younger generation as well. One of them is Sabrina Gschwandtner, 30, of Brooklyn, a knitting maven, filmmaker, performance artist and writer. Her “Phototactic Behavior in Sewn Slides” is a procession of ethereal photographs that have been mutilated by a sewing machine. Gschwandtner’s piece is the latest move in an audaciously homey counter-countercultural career. In 2002 she founded KnitKnit magazine, a publication “dedicated to the intersection of traditional craft and contemporary art.” Earlier this year, her installation “Wartime Knitting Circle” was featured in an exhibition entitled “Radical Lace and Subversive Knitting” at

ed artists and crafters together.” According to Gschwandtner, younger artists are making headway in today’s art world by juxtaposing craft with unusual forms of media. Knitting, for example, has become a useful medium for commenting on “hyper-consumerism.” In “Material Pursuits,” her abstract knitslideshow sits next to a digitally savvy “abstract quilt” wordily titled “December 29, 1890, Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota, the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper in the Final Hour before Dawn.” Created by the second-youngest contributor to the show, 34-year-old New Hampshire artist Anna Von Mertens, the work represents a precise image of the night sky on the

Hanging from a 10-foot-high silver bar is a perfect circle composed of maroon and yellow thread spools. At first glance, the spools don’t appear to conform to a recognizable pattern. But, as Hankins explains, each spool represents a pixel of a large, computerized image of “Portrait of a Man” by the 15th-century Dutch painter Jan van Eyck. By peering through a nearby acrylic sphere, a viewer realizes that the high-techiness of Sperber’s creation simply helps reconstruct an antiquated image. Where does the art of her piece lie, then? In the spools themselves, the shades of van Eyck’s portrait, or the process by which the two intersect? These are questions for viewers to ponder. Curator Hankins herself isn’t looking for definitive answers. When she first started contacting artists about the exhibition, Hankins recalls, “Co-opting Craft” seemed like a suitable working title. “But once I finalized the list of artists and objects,” she says, “I realized it was about a lot more than that. I think ‘Co-opting Craft’ suggests a division between art and craft, and the show moved to the point where the artists didn’t really see the division. So why use that word?” This week, Hankins starts a new job as associate curator of modern art at the Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C. — an institution specializing in 20th- and 21st-century American and European art. So it makes sense that when she discusses her UVM show, she plays the art-historian card by asserting that “Material Pursuits” isn’t about the age-old “Is it art or is it craft?” debate. “Somehow,” Hankins muses with an elusive smile, “it’s more back to 1:20 PM Page Duchamp’s idea1 that art is everything.” �

back to at least the mid-20th century, then perhaps it’s no surprise that most of the show’s artists are middle-aged or approaching it — all but one over 30. Many of them, such as 59-year-old art professor Kathleen Schneider, have been straddling the line between “art” and “craft” for decades. “In terms of that dichotomy between the craft aesthetic and the conceptual, the meaning for me in my work has always come from a synthesis between what the object looks like and how it’s made,” Schneider says in a phone interview. “So the show really suited my aesthetic at heart.” Just like Hicks’ creative textiles, Schneider’s piece, called “Bouquet,” conveys powerful

day American forces massacred Native Americans on a Sioux reservation. Hankins praises Von Mertens for her ability to blend “high” and “low” technologies. That’s one way to put it. According to the curator, a subtheme of “Material Pursuits” is the celebration of, well, obsessive compulsion. Vermont artist Kathleen Schneider isn’t offended by that suggestion — her works exude a meticulous attention to detail. She thinks Hankins’ curatorial effort “exemplifies a turn in younger artists — although I’m not a younger artist — back to . . . working with their hands and working with less heroic, less formal, materials.” That’s increasingly important, Schneider adds, in an art world where some artists aren’t directly involved in the creation of their own works. For her part, Hankins concedes she had trouble coming up with a name for this show. Before “Material Pursuits,” she had toyed with such names as “The Craft Show” or “Coopting Craft.” According to Gschwandtner, the latter wouldn’t have worked. Why? She insists that, today, the distinction between “art” and “craft” is being upended not just by fancy artists but also by hordes of twenty- and thirtysomething knitters and crocheters — men and women alike. “There’s a huge audience of young people who’ve embraced knitting and crocheting and sewing as a creative activity in response, I think, to a different culture,” notes the artist. “I think it has to do with . . . the increasingly technologically based society and people who are increasingly involved in work where they don’t see the end result of what they do.” In “Material Pursuits,” Devorah Sperber’s piece “After van 2x2-beadcrazy091207 9/6/07 Eyck” throws Gschwandtner’s comments into ironic relief.

Red All Over

T EXHIBIT “Paint the Gallery Red,” artworks that pay homage to the hot days of summer. Main Gallery, Studio Place Arts, Barre. Through September 22.

ARTWORK “Samurai Trio” by Candy Barr

PHOTO Marc Awodey

here’s more to red than meets the eye. In South Africa it denotes mourning. In China it’s the color of good luck. To some it signifies love; to others, war. At Studio Place Arts in Barre, “Paint the Gallery Red” includes the handiwork of 27 artists presenting nearly 40 pieces in all media. Every one of the works emphasizes that cardinal hue in all its long-wavelength magnificence. Janet Van Fleet and Mary Admasian, of Cabot and Montpelier, respectively, remind viewers that the word red has as many variations as does the pigment. “Red Read” consists of ceiling-hung, clearPlexiglas panels, 4 feet off the ground and covered in vinyl letters spelling words such as “Rumored” and “Sacred.” “Red” in the words and phrases appears in crimson, while the rest of the letters appear in white. Depending on where

Studio Place Arts may be conjuring elemental forces with such an incarnadine exhibition. the three-letter word winds up, the words and the color itself are seen anew. Montpelier artist Robert Hitzig plays with words a little differently. His richly shellacked, 19-by-38-inch, vertically wall-mounted “Flame Maple” is created from two beautifully figured curly (or flame) maple boards. Hitzig finished them with a red tint, taking the fiery connotation of the color literally. He could have also used that title for charred pieces of wood, but Hitzig’s vermillion shellac finish is far more interesting and beautiful than a literal rendering of flamed maple would have been. Three claret-colored paper bowls, each about 22 inches in diameter and hung in a vertical row, share the title “Canyon Lands.” Fiber artist Sandy Jefferis of Jericho invented white patterns for the top and bottom red bowls and a distinctive brown-andblack “Z” shape for the middle piece. Jefferis’ thingauged paper bowls are wonderfully formed, and her simple, direct designs are vaguely pueblo-like. Pria Cambio of Montpelier presents a textile piece entitled “Carpathian Dreams.” It’s an opulent shawl woven from red, reddish brown and black fibers, draped over the shoulders of a female torso mannequin. In addition to her fiber works, Cambio

creates solid paintings, and the mediums appear to inform each other in her approach to color. North Ferrisburgh sculptor Lilian Aye gave a piece of 20th-century industrial detritus a new life, and a nice patina, in creating “Unicorn 21st Century.” A piece of weathered, red-painted machinery forms the outline of an equestrian head in the graceful, 28-by24-inch pedestal piece. It is reminiscent of a horse from the Parthenon frieze — except for the tall steel projection that forms the mythical beastie’s horn. Though paintings don’t dominate this exhibition, there are quite a few fine ones. “Samurai Trio” by Warren artist Candy Barr is a 30-by-40-inch whimsical oil of two female nudes posed before a stiff samurai warrior in full regalia. The passionately red, East Asian seraglio image is very nicely painted.

Blue replaces green — the complement of red — as a foil to the warmer hues of Barr’s palette. Fairfield painter Gail Salzman, on the other hand, revels in the red/green dichotomy. Her diptych “Red-Green” consists of two 11-by-11-inch panels with the title hues appearing in translucent, irregular shapes, layered as if interwoven. Salzman’s nonobjective images convey shallow, subtly illusionistic layers of dimension. Evidence of the pigment red ochre in human graves dates back to Neanderthal times, and examples of its use in archaic cultures appears worldwide. So Studio Place Arts may be conjuring elemental forces with such an incarnadine exhibition. At the very least, viewing “Paint the Gallery Red” quickens the pulse. m

Among the 20 paintings and drawings installed in the Montpelier artist’s monumental masterpiece, “The Transfiguration of Pan” (pictured) is particularly impressive. Given its scale — 10 feet tall and 6 feet wide — the courthouse lobby is one of the few regional venues that can do the painting justice. The show is on view through October 5.

theborowitzreport Hedge Fund Managers’ March on Washington Largest Chauffeur-Driven Protest in Capital’s History

D

emanding further intervention from the Federal Reserve to protect their endangered fortunes, thousands of the nation’s leading hedge-fund managers marched on Washington today. Dubbed “The Million Mercedes March,” the protest was said to be the largest chauffeurdriven demonstration in the capital’s history. Limousines started jamming the streets of Washington at approximately 10 in the morning as irate hedge-fund owners converged in front of the Federal Reserve building to demand stronger action to protect their imperiled riches. Chanting “No Rate Cut, No Peace,” the furious money managers were pepper-sprayed by police as their protest threatened to take a violent turn. Tracy Klujian, a hedge-fund manager from Greenwich, Conn., said that simmering anger in the hedge-fund community was “a powder keg” waiting to explode. “We have yet to see the ripple effects of this crisis,” Klujian said. “When these guys have to freeze their trophy wives’ shopping allowances, there’s going to be hell to pay.” Klujian’s words seemed almost prophetic as a mob of angry trophy wives looted a

Ralph Lauren boutique in East Hampton, N.Y., later in the day, stripping the establishment of its entire fall collection. If the Fed fails to intervene, Klujian warned, an ugly situation among the nation’s wealthiest money managers will only get uglier. “A lot of these guys are mad as hell right

playing the electronic field

Hardcore Gamers Soften Up Are you turning into a casual gamer? Sure, you’ve played “BioShock” and look forward to “Halo 3” as much as the next joystick jockey. But when you get most excited about a new family game for the Wii, you know something has changed. Today’s hardcore gamer is as likely to feel a serious passion for easy-to-learn, easy-to-play titles as he or she is to sport a “Legend of Zelda” tattoo. The shrinking divide between the focused fan and the part-time player shows up clearly when you look at a set of new games for the Wii — “Carnival Games,” “Brunswick Pro Bowling” and “Tiger Woods PGA Tour ‘08.” At first glance, you’d expect gamers to clamor for “Tiger” on the motion-sensing Wii, or go giggly for a pro bowling experience. It turns out that a basic carnival challenge with a chance to win digital kewpie dolls provides the most fun of the lot. Want to play a little Skee-Ball? Move your hand forward as if you were rolling a little wooden ball, and your on-screen character hoists the orb up a ramp at on-screen targets. Simple. Want to shoot ducks? Just aim the Wii controller and pull the trigger. Easy. Up and down the midway, “Carnival Games” has every amusement covered, from a skill crane and dunk tank to coin tosses and towers of milk bottles. The only things missing are cotton candy and chili-dog stains. “Brunswick Pro Bowling,” by contrast, wants you to bowl like a pro. Seriously. Where the “Wii Sports” bowling game kept it basic, “Brunswick” tries to make it more real, and more complicated. The extra detail in the character models, the bowling alleys and even the ball and lane physics don’t do much more than make a mindless pastime into something somber. It’s not a

terrible game by any means, but it leaves you wishing it had nailed the strike. Likewise for “Tiger.” If there is any real point in pretending to play a sport, it’s that you can feel like a top-flight star. On the Wii, “Tiger” bristles with potential. But after you’ve duffed a dozen putts, you’ll feel like throwing your controller into the nearest water hazard. Difficult games and serious simulations have their place in gaming. As the quality of more casual titles continues to improve, though, developers have started to figure out that one sign of a top title isn’t how much fun players could have, but how much they do have. “Carnival Games” won’t keep you up until dawn trying to reach the next level. Then again, when company stops by, you can’t expect them to jump into a game of “Killzone.” In the future, we won’t divide

the gaming classes by how much players love their games, but by how much trouble they’ll endure to have a little fun. Who’s It For: “Carnival Games” for the Wii won’t change the way people think about video games. But start the game up at your next cocktail party, and it just might change the way you entertain. If You Like This, Try That: “Wii Sports” and “Wii Fitness” stand as two great examples of casual fun that never seem to wear out their welcome on the console. Best Part: A prize system that lets you swap smaller prizes for bigger loot makes it easy to get ahead in the game, regardless of your skill level.

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.

SEVEN DAYS | september 12-19, 2007 | astrology 57A

free will astrology RE AL september 13-19

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Metaphorically

speaking, I foresee glacier ice melting and molten rock flowing in your immediate future, Aries. I expect that hard solids will become fluid; permanent fixtures will be in flux. This is a good thing, believe me. Though it may unnerve you at first, you will have the power to change things you never thought could be changed in a hundred years. You will have the freedom to create new vessels for energy that has outgrown its old vessels.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): Here’s the problem as I see it: You’re not feeling sufficiently confident to trust your unique insights, and so you haven’t dared to communicate them. But it’s crucial that you do speak up. Even though you may not be as knowledgeable about the big picture as other people are, you possess a missing piece of the puzzle that they’ve got to have. You may even be an outsider or a latecomer with relatively little credibility in the eyes of those in the inner circle, but still: You know something they don’t know and need to know.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I wish I had

a holy grail to quest for, even if it was really small,” writes my Gemini reader Marta, who describes herself as a “wannabe Prometheus.” I have good news for her, as well as for all the rest of you wannabe Prometheans who have been pining for a raison d’etre, a burning desire or a not-quite-impossible dream to throw yourself into with 110 percent commitment: Look out of the corners of your eyes to spot the strange attractor (also known as the unauthorized magic) that is bobbing ever-so-seductively on the far horizon.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): According to a report in The Onion, behavioral scientists in Chicago have proved that many people are in fact not entitled to their opinions. “On topics from evolution to immigration reform, we found that 38 percent of the opinions people expressed were so off-base and ill-informed that they

5x6-WoodburyCollege091207.indd 1

actually hurt society by being voiced,” said one researcher. I’m betting, however, that only a small proportion of these unfounded beliefs and spurious theories will originate from Cancerians in the coming weeks. Your tribe is likely to be more scrupulous in your data-gathering and more rigorous in your reasoning than the rest of the population. In fact, I suggest you regard yourself as a role model whose job it is to demonstrate the beauty of thinking deeply.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Can you feel the moon tugging at the fluids in your body? Usually, you can’t. Are you aware of how large-scale cultural influences affect your day-to-day rhythms? Again, that’s typically beyond your capacity to sense in any immediate way. But this week, you just might be able to do both of those things. You’re more attuned than usual to the subtle currents that are unfolding within you. You’re also more alert to the impact that big cosmic energies and long-term historical trends are making on your unconscious mind. I advise you to take maximum advantage of this extra sensitivity. You could discover important clues about how to position yourself to thrive in the face of upcoming social transformations. (P.S. Listen reverently to the secrets your body tells you.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Writing in Salon. com, Scott Rosenberg recalled how in his youth he loved to play the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. “You’d have to choose not one but two ‘alignments’ for your character,” he mused. “Good and evil, of course, but also ‘law’ and ‘chaos.’ And among the people I ran with, ‘chaotic/good’ was the thing to be, because it let you trust other people and still have fun.” Your assignment in the coming week, Virgo, is to adopt the “chaotic/good” approach for the character you will be playing in your actual life.

LIbRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Plagued by back problems, my friend Eduardo went to a psychic healer in Brazil. He got his treatment while seated on a chair in a room crowded with other patients. The shaman massaged Eduardo’s spine

for a few minutes. Suddenly, out of nowhere, streams of black mud appeared all over his back. Was this some sort of stage magic? The healer announced that the mud had been the cause of the pain, and that he had exorcised it from Eduardo’s body. My friend rested there a while, musing on the improbable event that had apparently happened, and enjoying a new feeling of ease in his back. His bewilderment at the mystery of his own cure turned to stupefaction when he saw what the shaman pulled from the next patient’s belly: an old shoe. Now here’s an odd coincidence, Libra: One of the best gifts you can give yourself right now is to visualize a psychic healer (or your guardian angel) removing a load of mud and an old shoe from your body.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The experiment I’m proposing is something you should try only if you’re feeling adventurous. Don’t do it if you’re in a timid or self-pitying mood. Here it is. Empty yourself out completely, and do it gladly. With impish daring, lower your expectations all the way down to zero. Surrender every remnant of hope you might be tempted to cling to. With a jaunty nonchalance, pretend you have nothing to lose. And then open an enormous welcome in your heart for the messy, unpredictable sweetness of life exactly as it is. Say yes to the beauty of ambiguity and paradox. Free yourself to accept every person and every situation on its own terms. If you try what I’ve suggested, I bet you will be united with a potent blessing you didn’t even know you needed.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Right now you have what it takes to be a liberator. You can free people who are enslaved to their fears. You could also be a bridge-builder who provides wandering souls with the means to escape from the middle of nowhere. If you’re feeling especially heroic, you might even be able to serve as both a liberator and a bridgebuilder. To do so would almost certainly require you to be more of a leader than you’ve ever been before. But if I’m reading the astrological omens correctly, you have more than enough cosmic juju at your disposal to do just that.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Dear

Rob: In your book Pronoia you say, ‘The universe always gives us exactly what we need, exactly when we need it.’ I have a different view. I often find that I disagree with what the Universe decides is best for me. But that turns out to be a good thing. It’s fun for me to always be arguing with God! I learn a lot and generate a lot of high energy from trying to outmaneuver the divine will. What do you think about that? — Cagey Capricorn.” Dear Cagey: Whatever works! I think your approach may be especially useful for your fellow Capricorns to try now. Thanks for articulating it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I want to

call your attention to the title of a Christianthemed inspiration book by John Ortberg: If You Want to Walk on Water, You’ve Got to Get Out of the Boat. You don’t really need to read it, because simply meditating on the theme will yield all the insight you need. To jumpstart your intuition, I’ll add a corollary: If you want to talk to a burning bush, you should initiate the conversation. Don’t wait for the bush to break the ice.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Dear Rob: I

love your compassionate contrarianism. Your horoscopes are so spiritual they’re practical. They’re so earthy they’re cosmic. They’re antihero horoscopes for heroes, or maybe heroic horoscopes for anti-heroes. Here’s my question: Do you have any advice for my psychotherapist? You’re doing a better job than he is, and I’d like to give him some tips from you. — Pisces Gamer.” Dear Gamer: Tell your psychotherapist that what you Pisceans need these days is a dose of reversalism. That means you should experiment freely with seeing the other side of every story and tuning in to the opposite of what you’ve tried before. >

3:10 to Yuma HHHH

I

CUSTODY BATTLE Bale escorts Crowe to his date with the hangman, despite the deadly threat posed by his prisoner’s gang.

f you’ve suffered through gratuitous updates of old movies, such as The Wicker Man, I Think I Love My Wife, Halloween and The Invasion, you’re in for a treat. “New and improved” is a phrase that doesn’t often apply to these deals, but the latest from Walk the Line director James Mangold is almost enough to give remakes a good name. The 1957 original is a solid, though hardly classic, Western about a struggling Arizona rancher who hopes to reverse his fortunes with a highly paid gig escorting a charismatic killer to the train set to take him on a one-way trip to the gallows. It starred Glenn Ford and Van Heflin and was based on a story published four years earlier by Elmore Leonard — obviously an alien

< film>

who does not exist in Earth time. The new film is bloodier, smarter and far more psychologically complex. Russell Crowe is in fine form as Ben Wade, a Biblequoting stagecoach robber who leads a gang of killers he himself describes as “animals.” As the movie opens, he and his men have appropriated a nearby herd of cows to corral a group of Pinkertons on a secluded pass. The herd is the property of down-to-his-last-dime rancher Dan Evans, played by the shape-shifting Christian Bale. Evans and his two young boys track the missing beef to the scene of the crime and stumble on the robbery in progress. Once discovered, they’re graciously allowed to surrender their horses and leave alive, a generous impulse that comes back to bite the bandit big time. Because Bale promptly hikes into Bisbee to talk to the marshall. Crowe pays the place a visit as well, to bed and then leisurely sketch a raven-haired barmaid. He’s lightning fast with a pistol, but not as quick a draw when it comes to his sketchpad — a delay that allows local authorities to capture him before he can join his men on the outskirts of town. Bale accepts an offer of $200 from the burg’s top Pinkerton to join the small band of men who are willing take their lives into their hands by escorting Crowe to that train as the outlaw’s gang shadows them just out of sight. His move might appear impulsive and

implausible for a husband and father of two, were it not for the excellent job screenwriters Michael Brandt and Derek Haas do to lay its foundation. As winning as Crowe’s character is, you can’t help feeling for Bale’s, who’s suffered such a long run of bad luck that he’s lost a leg, the affection of his wife (Gretchen Mol) and the respect of his older son (Logan Lerman). He’s also this close to losing his home. When the rancher’s son unexpectedly joins the group along the way, the mission becomes more than merely a way for him to pay his mortgage. It’s a way to prove himself to the boy. The handcuffed outlaw is a cunning judge of character. Something in Bale connects with this, and the dynamic that develops among the three characters makes for a riveting exploration of human nature. The film sheds light on some of its darkest, most desperate corners. Others, key to the motivation of central figures, resist illumination. The final act will leave many a seasoned psychologist scratching his or her head. While one or two of the film’s plot points are baffling, all of it is first-rate fun, and the Wild West action is wilder than just about anything we’ve seen since the gory days of Peckinpah. Mangold and Leonard prove a marriage made in High Noon heaven. Both are pros at telling stories about men forced by circumstance to test their limits. The author’s been at it for more than half a century, of course. The director showed he’s no slouch with 1997’s Cop Land, a picture that contains more than a few parallels to this one. With 3:10 to Yuma, Mangold succeeds in transporting all aboard beyond the blockbuster badlands of summer and on toward the far more fruitful cinematic plains of fall. RICK KISONAK

Ten Canoes HHHH

I

OUTBACK DREAD A tribe cleaves to the old ways and worries about uppity sorcerors in Rolf de Heer’s anthropological drama.

t’s tough being a young dude among the Yolngu of Australia’s Northern Territory. Your battle-scarred older brother gets all the wives, and when you make eyes at the youngest and cutest member of his harem, he takes you aside and tells you a long, preachy story about your ancestors. The moral of which seems to be: Stay in your place, and be careful what you wish for. Oh, and don’t worry too much about what strangers might be doing with your turds. Like so many movies, Ten Canoes is based on archetype and fable. Unlike films with European sources, though, it’s resonant in some ways and resolutely strange in others. English-speaking narrator and well-known Australian actor David Gulpilil guides us through the swampy world of the Yolngu in an unspecified past long before the British colonists arrived. The indigenous actors speak their own languages — a “first” that may have helped the film win a 2006 special jury prize at Cannes and various other honors. As crafted by writer-director Rolf de Heer, it’s also a beautiful piece of filmmaking with a mood and a rhythm all its own. Australian films such as Rabbit-Proof Fence and The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith have shown how severely the colonists brutalized and dehumanized the “Aborigines.” Ten Canoes is different. The narrator starts off by mimicking Euro story-telling conventions — “Once upon a time . . .” Then he breaks off, chuckling, and tells his Anglophone listener, “It’s not your story; it’s my story.” And a complex story-within-a-story it is. In a sequence shot in black and white, the narrator introduces us to the aforementioned disgruntled young dude (Jamie Gulpilil),

son of David and his older brother, who are building canoes in preparation for a hunt. He tells us their world is separated from us by many generations. But soon the brother launches into his own tale, and the images melt into color, even as the story recedes into the more distant past of fable. There we meet young Yeeralparil (also played by Jamie Gulpilil), who covets the wife of his brother Ridjimiraril (Crusoe Kurddal). Though he’s too meek to do much about it, other forces soon threaten the stability of the small group of hunter-gatherers, who live in eerie — and, it turns out, illusory — isolation on their patch of fertile wetland.

Shot on location, scored to indigenous music and the incessant thrumming of insects, Ten Canoes looks and sounds like nothing else. By the standards of Hollywood movies, it’s slow indeed. (Even Gulpilil’s character, as the listener in the black-and-white segments, begs for more action — sex, violence, anything!) But de Heer uses long tracking shots through the landscape to give the narrative a hypnotic pull — and, though he finds extraordinary colors and textures in the swamp, the movie is never just a travelogue. The fluid, floating camera suggests that an invisible presence accompanies the characters. But is it the benign spirits of their ancestors, or something more ominous? Though it would be silly to call Ten Canoes a horror movie, it distills the essential ingredient of all horror movies: fear of the unknown. When a stranger strolls into camp, speaking a language that’s almost like yours, do you greet him as a brother or shun him as a sorceror? In fantasy sequences where the color is just a little off, de Heer shows us what the men fear: that the stranger will gore them with a spear, or take their souls and leave them walking zombies. No wonder they respond in ways that lead eventually to violence. So much for the happy-go-lucky life of huntergatherers that some pop anthropologists have touted. The world of Ten Canoes contains strife, sexual jealousy and untimely death — but also dick and fart jokes (the actors are virtually naked, though never in a sexual context), appealing characters and a surprising gentleness. It may be their story, but it has its ways of speaking to us. MARGOT HARRISON

AUTUMN…CREEPING IN!! NEW @

222

Soon we’ll have a roof but for now late summer sunlight is bouncing all sorts of designs off our beautiful new concrete slab. Who ever thought you could LOVE a concrete slab?? Drive by and you’ll see that walls are going up. Electrical lines, plumbing, refrigeration, duct work, lighting grids, storm water pond, grease trap, loading dock… the list goes on… it’s a work in progress with more moving parts than we ever imagined! We’re ge�ing there… we promise!

DELICATA

We have beautiful DELICATA straight from the farm… Arethusa Farm Organic Delicata 1.69 lb

ROASTED DELICATA SQUASH WITH POMEGRANATE & PINE NUTS 3 tsp 1.5 Tbs 1.5 Tbs 7 Tbs 2 Tbs

pomegranate molasses balsamic vinegar red wine vinegar extra-virgin olive oil bu�er 2 unpeeled medium delicata squash, 24 wedges total 1/4 C pine nuts, toasted

Whisk pomegranate molasses and vinegars in bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Season with salt and pepper. Re-whisk before using. Preheat oven to 450°F. Melt 2 teaspoons bu�er in heavy, large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add squash wedges. Cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer squash wedges to rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle squash with salt and pepper. Transfer squash to oven; bake about 15 minutes, or until fork tender. Toss squash and pine nuts with half of dressing in serving bowl. Drizzle with more dressing if needed.

POMEGRANATE MOLASSES??

Yes, and it’s a wonderful ingredient… a syrup-like reduction of pomegranate juice that has a really unique, tart-sweet flavor and is colored a gorgeous, deep reddish purple. It’s as thick as maple syrup with sweet and sour flavors that combine the best of balsamic vinegar with lush fruit. Great as an ingredient in an array of Middle Eastern dishes, it’s the sort of addition to sauces and stews that adds enormous depth of flavor but no one can ever identify. It lives on a shelf in our ethnic section.

NEWSFLASH FROM THE BREAD DEPARTMENT

We’re fortunate to have MONTREAL STYLE PITA back at HL thanks to Michele, who gets up early to drive it here from Canada! White and wheat varieties, Greek pita, Naan, Markouk bread, extra large, regular, extra large, regular sizes, and even bags of mini pitas are on our shelves. Great stuff.

Dining at Davis sampling the new “courses” at Uvm

by SUZANNE PODHAIZER

L

unch at the University of Vermont has come a long way since cafeteria lines and mystery meat. At noontime on a recent school day, the entire campus appeared to be converging on the new $61 million Dudley H. Davis Center — and it wasn’t for the “green” LEED certification; it was for the food. The building’s edible offerings — a café, pub and marketplace with a multiplicity of options — are even more impressive than its flushless urinals and gender-neutral bathrooms. On the “ground floor,” past a lounge with squishy chairs and pool tables, hungry academics can chill in a casual restaurant that serves beer and wine to students old enough to drink. No time to relax? There’s an airportstyle convenience store with snacks and frozen foods galore. Up a wide, curving flight of stairs is the main dining area, called The Commons Marketplace. Envision a classier version of a mall food court, where signs advertise the local vegetables being showcased each week and vegan selections are de rigueur. Plus, unlike at a food court, you can pick up items from various vendors and pay on the way out — three check-out stations accept cash, Catscratch, UVM meal points and credit cards. Coolers line the walls, filled with ready-to-eat fare and beverages including Vermont Soy soymilk and local cider. What’s competing with the grab-and-go cold sandwiches and containers of fruit ’n’ cottage cheese during the bustling lunch rush? Long lines form in front of Sakura’s sushi counter and a stand called Capers, which is tucked away in the corner and serves Mediterranean-inspired vegetarian fare. That particular day they served a savory baba ganoush flatbread sprinkled with pine nuts, cheese and flecks of parsley. Not as sexy-

SAmOSAS At SUkHI’S sounding, but every bit as satisfying, was the black beans and rice with salsa and slivers of perfect avocado. Across the way, at “590 Main,” students find comfort in a small selection of dining hall standards. One station holds turkey club sandwiches and slices of glistening cheese pizza; another serves up brownies and Rice Krispy treats. Slightly more adventurous students and faculty members queue up at Sukhi’s QuickN-Ezee Indian Food to get a taste of the

Southern hemisphere. The eatery began as a stand at the Ferry Plaza Farmers’ Market in San Francisco and expanded into a minor prepared-foods empire. At its Vermont outpost in The Commons, staffers serve up three Indian entrées each day, blending the company’s prepared sauces and spice pastes with freshly cooked meats and veggies. Sukhi’s slogan, “Indian food for everyone,” is code for: It won’t burn your mouth. That day, the trio of options consisted of chicken curry, lentil dal and matar paneer

— peas with cheese in a delicately spiced, tomato-based sauce. A plate piled with all three on a bed of long-grain rice rang up at $6.49. Not enough starch? A piece of puffy nan bread comes on the side. The gluey lentil stew was just OK; a bit more salt would have been nice. The peas in the matar paneer tasted canned — but hey, this is a university. (Hand shelling might precipitate an increase in tuition.) The ad>> 0 B

dictive chicken curry was the best of the three, with chunks of meat smothered in a sauce that hinted at garlic and ginger. It tasted great on the perfectly fluffy rice. Like the Indian dishes, the soup offerings at “Stocks and Stems” change daily, but five choices ensure there’s something for everyone. Last Thursday, these included beef noodle, egg drop, pasta fagioli, carrot rosemary and fresh tomato tarragon. Chef Bob Shea said the kitchen aims to offer two vegan soups each day, though sometimes it only manages one. The bright orange, carrot-rosemary puree passed the vegan test and the flavor one: The rosemary was detectable but not overpowering, and the mixture had the sweet flavor of freshly cooked carrots. The pasta fagioli resembled the Progresso version I ate as a child. There were beans, pieces of floppy pasta and a few beads of oil atop the reddish broth. The paler, gentler egg drop was elegant in its simplicity, tasting mainly of chicken broth. Tender slips of egg added textural interest.

cal products as they can.” By way of localvore conciliation, Bahan points out that a sauce made with local ingredients, perhaps maple, would be an excellent addition to WOW’s repertoire. If you want to stick exclusively to edible offerings from the Green Mountains, two food stands just outside the marketplace proper will do you right: a Ben & Jerry’s scoop shop and a branch of the hyper-popular burrito joint New World Tortilla. It’s clear that the UVM alums who own NWT are selling a slew of Thai chicken wraps on their old stomping grounds. The line of chattering chowhounds stretched out the door of the eating area. Exiting the building, it’s worth checking out the CAT Pause. The convenience-style store carries Advil, condoms, chewing gum and energy drinks, but is also stocked with mounds of Vermont products, most of which are prominently displayed. Hungry students can slog back to their dorms with everything from chai-flavored yogurt made by Woodstock Water Buffalo to local salsas and dips to frozen American Flatbread. An unscientific count found 24 brands from the Green Mountain state. At Brennan’s and in The Commons Marketplace, food is still

On my visit, the Buffalo II, a spicier version of the traditional hot wing sauce, fit the heating bill nicely; the soy-flavored Asian marinade worked if you like your wings both salty and sweet. Thick honey-barbecue and Polynesian sauces, on the other hand, were fairly cloying. The Polynesian was just a chunkier version of duck sauce. The default side dish — a serving of wilted fries — can be replaced with a healthy combo of carrot and celery sticks with Bleu cheese dressing. Early university press releases touted the “local foods” the Davis Center would offer. Pungent as its taste of the South may be, WOW is underwhelming in that regard. Paul Bahan, director of marketing for University Dining Services, explains that students gave WOW’s products top marks in a brand fair hosted by the University, and giving them what they want is a top priority.

Chef Shea admits that, though his staff makes as many soups as they can, they do resort to using packaged broth. “We would like to make at least veggie stock in-house,” he says, looking to the future. “That would be easier than getting a bunch of chicken bones.” Too bad they can’t use the leavings from Brennan’s Pub and Bistro downstairs. That establishment aims to get students chomping on as much chicken as possible. The pub, named after donors Robert and Carolyn Brennan, has partnered with a New Orleans operation named WOW Café and Wingery, and offers WOW’s American fusion menu chock-full of sandwiches, salads and, obviously, wings. Once cooked, the poultry is coated in the company’s sticky, pre-made sauces, and here they don’t stop at hot stuff or barbecue. Those who like their wings with an exotic tang can opt for one of many toppings, including Parisian lemon pepper, Polynesian or Asian teriyaki. They’re pricey, though. A dozen wings with the sauce of your choice costs $11.99.

Showing Off Shelburne Farms New cookbook features foods from VermoNt

A lucky group of food aficionados and weekend guests got a taste of Cooking with Shelburne Farms: Food and Stories From Vermont at a special brunch last weekend hosted by the Inn at Shelburne Farms. The new cookbook, by food writer Melissa Pasanen and Chef Rick Gencarelli, aims “to connect farm to fork,” said Pasanen. Attendees got to feast on a few recipes from the forthcoming title, including a selection of fresh vegetables accompanied by a delicate “spring herb mayonnaise.” A few unusual veggies, such as bits of Romanesco cauliflower and slices of tomatillo, stood out among the produce artfully arranged on a wooden board. Quoting Gencarelli, Pasanen told the crowd he said, “I barely have to trim them . . . I can just put these beautiful things out there and they speak for themselves.” More effort probably went into the repast that followed, which included just-bitterenough braised broccoli raab, juicy skin-on chicken breast topped with thick bacon and chicken-ofthe-woods ’shrooms, and apple blackberry crisp. Along with the food, organizers passed advance copies of the book, which won’t be available in stores until September 20. Instead of the conventional progression from app and entrée to dessert, its chapters are grouped by foodstuffs that are “connected to Vermont heritage,” Pasanen explains. There’s one on lamb, for example, and one on wild mushrooms, while milk and maple get a total of four: Each gets separate sweet and savory chapters. Unlike in most cookbooks, the folks who farm and forage the featured foods get to share the spotlight with their products. Pasanen’s stories are supplemented by black-and-white photos of the subjects by Jordan Silverman. Though the finished product doesn’t reflect it, the authors encountered their share of hurdles. “I spent the winter chasing Rick around my home kitchen with measuring spoons and cups,” Pasanen says, joking about chefs’ well-known distaste for measuring. In the interest of stunning results, the authors even specified the amount of salt rather than have readers season “to taste.” Why? “It’s amazing what the right amount of salt brings to the food,” Pasanen explains. When applied properly, it doesn’t make food taste briny but merely brings out the other flavors. Want to sample the book before buying? As part of the Burlington Book Festival, City Market will host a sneak preview reading and demo by Pasanen on Sunday, September 16 at 3 p.m. At 5 p.m. the following day, again as part of the BBF, the co-op will host a demo and book signing by Sissy Hicks, chef-owner of The Dorset Inn. She’ll sign copies of Elegant Comfort Food From the Dorset Inn, a compilation of her best dishes written by Jane and Michael Stern of Roadfood fame. Inside, you’ll find homey recipes for turkey croquettes, braised lamb shank, bacon-potato pancakes and more. According to Dorset Inn staffer Meaghan Meachem, the book is “an outsider’s perspective on Sissy, her food and the inn.” Whip up these recipes at home, and you’ll feel like an insider.

Lovin’ Their Cookies ferrisburgh couple make their Xo mark

Paul Seyler of North Ferrisburgh wanted to own a California-style burrito cart. His wife, Suzanna Miller, dreamed of a cookie company. While those two desires may sound like a recipe for disaster, the duo found a clever way to cooperate. “We joked about combining the ideas,” Miller relates. “We could make cookie dough, package it like a burrito and call it a DOUGH-rito.” And they did just that. At their new company, Vermont Cookie Love, they make cylinders of frozen cookie dough, wrap ’em up street-style in foil, and ship them to stores such as Fat Hen Market in Vergennes and the Shelburne Meat Market in Shelburne. The stores carry packages of pre-baked cookies, too.

Each of Cookie Love’s six flavors is named after a different type of affection. “Puppy Love” is a youthful combination of peanut butter and chocolate chips, while “Addicted to Love” is an appropriately chocolate-y mocha chocolate chip. And naturally the couple included “True Love,” which is a wholesome mix of oatmeal and dried cranberries. This autumn as the leaves whirl, look for a fresh flavor made with pumpkin and chocolate chips. The name? “Falling in Love,” of course.

The Old Brick Café in Williston, situated in a renovated 19th-century brick house, has closed. After trying to sell the restaurant for some time, owner David Herskowitz decided that continuing to run the cozy breakfast, lunch and brunch joint wasn’t in his best interest. Local patrons are sure to miss the eggs Benedict and espresso . . . Planning to PYO raspberries at Adam’s Berry Farm? This year, you’re out of luck. In a recent email, Adam Hausmann explained that “Due to repeated flooding in 2006 and early 2007, we lost a considerable section of our raspberry planting (over a half mile of row feet!). Fortunately, we have replanted what we lost and will be open again next season to the public.” Hausmann is planning to “honor his commitments” to his wholesale accounts. So berry-hungry eaters can still find the fruit at City Market and Healthy Living, as well as at local restaurants such as Penny Cluse, The Skinny Pancake, American Flatbread and The Inn at Shelburne Farms . . .

Was it a Vermistake? Last week, we wrote about a new condiment company called Vermustard. But after we went to press, the condiment company’s owner, Michael Adams, learned that the state had denied his application to use that name. He’ll be going with Green Mountain Mustard instead . . . Green Mountain Coffee Roasters has a winning formula for java sales, but that hasn’t kept ’em from monkeying with it. Earlier this year, the company began selling “Gombe Reserve,” a Tanzanian coffee named after a national park in the African country. The beans are grown sustainably by members of the Kalinzi farming cooperative. Who introduced the Vermont company to the Tanzanian coffee growers? None other than chimp champ Jane Goodall. The shade-grown coffee is produced “in cooperation with the Jane Goodall Institute,” boasts the GMCR website. On September 19, Dr. Goodall herself will travel to the wilds of Waterbury to visit company headquarters, where she’ll announce that Gombe Reserve coffee is “the world’s first product to carry that Jane Goodall ‘Good For All’ certification seal of approval,” according to a press release. Bueno Y Sano, located next to B-town institution Stone Soup, is scheduled to open next week. Owner Will Lowry can’t say exactly when the burritos will start rolling, so keep your eyes peeled. . . One of Barre’s two new coffee shops, Espresso Bueno, is throwing a grand opening party this Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. There will be prizes, and, of course, free samples. — SuzAnnE PODHAIzER

Think Globally, Eat Locally

UNBEATABLE MARTINIS.

Sodexho caters to local producers Sodexho used to be a bad word in Vermont’s fresh-food circles. In September 2004, Seven Days reported on a Champlain College junior’s crusade to get the French food-service multinational off campus, citing its alleged humanrights violations and ownership of private prisons. A year later, some UVM students raised objections to Sodexho on less altruistic — if no less appropriate — grounds.

deal. “I don’t specifically subscribe to the vegan lifestyle,” explains University Dining Services Marketing Director Paul Bahan, “but I find myself gravitating to those offerings because I like the freshness that I see.” The construction of the Davis Center was another culinary leap for UVM — and Sodexho. Thanks to its collaboration with the folks who are working to make the school increasingly ecofriendly, the conglomerate now has a showcase for its new and improved food ethics. Sodexho has formed an unusual partnership with Black River Produce, which brings in a quantity of fruits and veggies from places like Champlain Orchards, Arethusa Farm and Sam Mazza’s. It’s unusual because vendors who work with Sodexho have to jump through a number of hoops, such as coming up with a $5 million dollar insurance policy. Few local producers and distributors can pull that off. How did Black River do it? According to Bahan, “They had a policy of that size already, because they were already doing a good volume of business throughout the

On a blog none too subtly called UVM Barf, Nick Carter mocked the company’s PR claim that it tries to “evoke a passionate response” in dining-hall gourmets. He opined that “the only passionate response I’ve had towards Sodexho’s services at UVM has been passionate disgust.” That was then, this is now. At UVM, of late anyhow, Sodexho wears a friendlier face — one that’s more receptive, at least in appearance, to students’ expressed desires for environmentally sound practices and fresher food. Grub at the Groovy UV has been on an upswing since the Harris-Millis dining hall was spruced up seven years ago. Suddenly, food that used to sit in steam tables for hours was being prepared to order, and folks with food allergies could ask that unwanted ingredients be omitted. The newer Marché on the ground floor of the Living and Learning complex was one of the first “units” on campus to make meat-and-dairy-free food a regular

state . . . they came to the table and followed the criteria...” Now, small farmers and producers who work with Black River can send their produce to the University without paying for the insurance themselves. Although romaine lettuce and citrus fruits still arrive from afar, mesclun mix, corn and carrots are likely to be grown within 50 miles of campus. As fall progresses, the chefs will whip up delicious dishes with Vermont-grown apples, as well as butternut and delicata squashes. Over the past few years, Sodexho has been phasing in sustainable practices such as using “greener” cleaners and serving food on real dishes as a way to reduce the school’s environmental impacts. All of these are in full swing at the Davis Center. Composting is another important initiative. Educational posters, soon to hang in the dining area, show how the Davis Center’s back-of-the-house food-scrap program provides precious fertilizer to some of the very same farms that supply it with produce.

One thing dining services can’t do: collect compost alongside the trash and recycling that students discard after meals. “We made a decision with the UVM recycling department not to collect compost [post-dining] because it’s been contaminated 100 percent of the time,” explains Tom Oliver, operations director for the Davis Center’s eateries. What does he mean by contaminated? Oliver gestures at a young woman who’s in the process of scraping her pizza crusts and a few errant lettuce leaves into the recycling bin labeled “bottles and cans.” No matter how well his staff marks the containers, he gripes, empty chip bags and Power Bar wrappers end up mixed in with the apple cores and banana peels. They’ll have to find a way to do it eventually, though, because they plan to switch to compostable to-go containers. Where does the school stand in comparison with other campuses that use Sodexho? “We’ve been ahead of the curve for some time,” explains Bahan, whose work regularly takes him to schools around New England. In the past couple of years, he boasts, “Many universities that are also under Sodexho’s umbrella have come to us [for help] and are starting to do some of the things that UVM has done for years.” For example, local schools such as St. Michael’s and Champlain are jumping on the bandwagon. “Do they do it to the same extent we do? Not yet. But I’m sure they will be in the coming years,” Bahan proposes. Oliver describes himself as “the sustainability champion for 20 years,” but acknowledges that change can’t happen overnight. “We wanted to balance the needs of the students with our goal of sustainability,” he says. “I’ve learned that you choose your battles carefully.” And those battles are ongoing. Right now, poultry still comes primarily from out of state. “We could give Misty Knoll Farms our entire business of poultry on campus, but they don’t have the capacity,” says Oliver. Another one: finding ways to preserve Vermont produce for use during the long winter. “We’ve been working with people . . . to increase that through storage and processing,” Bahan states. Basil pesto, one of “the most popular flavors on campus,” is high on his list of products to make in-house and freeze. Helping market partners like Sukhi’s, Ben & Jerry’s and New World Tortilla meet the Davis Center’s sustainability guidelines is another continuing effort. “If we told the bulk of the student body that we were going to force New World Tortilla to be sustainable, that would be an issue, because they wouldn’t be able to afford the food,” Oliver points out. Still, he believes, “There’s little things that you can do . . . the whole thing is a process.” And right now, Sodexho’s operations at UVM seem to be in the process of getting a lot more palatable. >

A new quarterly gets a read on Vermont’s foodie scene

I heard this woman interviewed about food in Vermont, and I was totally captivated.

in September. EGM is part of a family of publications collectively called edible Communities, which already includes such far-flung titles as edible Missoula and edible Iowa River Valley. Business and life partners Tracey Ryder and Carole Topalian started it all by publishing a ’zine called edible Ojai in their California hometown, focusing on foods grown or manufactured close by. In the years since, it’s spawned about 30 variations. The edible concept, according to the company’s website, is to “transform the way communities shop for, cook, eat and relate to the food that is grown and produced in their area.� How does it work? Interested parties pick a territory and sign a “licensing and servicing agreement� with edible Communities, Schapiro says. Unlike many folks who arrange financing through the company, she was able to buy the edible Green Mountain rights outright. EGM’s stated mission is “to celebrate the culinary heritage of Vermont.� Oddly enough, 50-year-old Schapiro’s path to edible ethics began in front of the Golden Arches. In 1980, after earning an undergraduate degree from Cornell and a Master’s in communications from Boston Uni-

her to Vermont, where Kamman now makes her home. “I really wanted to go to chef school, and I was going to go to chef school, but for personal reasons, I moved to Philadelphia,� says Schapiro. Although she never realized that dream, Philly offered other ways to delve into fine dining. Schapiro made an off-hand comment to the chef at The Four Seasons that led to a regular volunteer gig. “The first day, I was prepping for New Year’s Eve. I worked for 12 hours and absolutely loved it,� Schapiro says. She kept it up every Sunday for six months. “I did everything from cleaning 30 lobster knuckles at a time to peeling 10 pounds of shallots,� she recalls with a smile, calling kitchen work “invigorating and seductive.� Schapiro also spent time in St. Louis. But in 2004, when her second husband, a doctor, was offered a position at UVM’s Fletcher Allen Health Care, “life began,� as she puts it. Once in the Green Mountain State, she quickly got involved in the local food movement. “I heard this woman interviewed about food in Vermont, and I was totally

captivated,� Schapiro says. The woman was Amy Trubek, then executive director of the Vermont Fresh Network. “I sent them a check,� Schapiro recalls. “Eventually I got connected with the organization, and hosted an event at my house with [cookbook author] Molly Stevens.� By this time, Schapiro knew she wanted a career “dedicated to food, somehow.� On trips to Boston and Portland, Oregon, she perused the local edible Communities publications. After a few nudges from her friends at the Fresh Net, she decided to buy in. “I put the first issue together in three and a half months,� she says with a sigh. “I had incredible support from the Vermont Fresh Network and Molly Stevens. Although we’re not officially partnered, I feel a sense of camaraderie and partnership with that organization.� When the first free issue hits the stands — it will be available statewide, thanks to PP&D Distribution — readers will find pieces on local vodka and the romantic Inn at Weathersfield, as well as an excerpt from the soonto-be-released Cooking with Shelburne Farms by Melissa Pasanen and Chef Rick Gencarelli. Schapiro whipped up the Weathersfield feature herself, but the rest were penned by other well-known Vermont authors and culinary enthusiasts, including Joyce Hendley of Eating Well, local cookbook author Andrea Chessman and Stevens, a James Beard awardwinner. Sean Buchanan of Wood Creek Farm and Vermont Public Television’s “Feast in the Making� pitched in. Another writer, Kathy Johnson, “who’s not really a foodie,� Schapiro says, told the tale of her family’s old-timey tradition of pickling and preserving. With her first issue in the works, the newbie publisher is already looking forward to the January edition. How does she feel now that the whirlwind is over? Just as enthusiastic about local food as ever. “I wish I had another stomach,� Schapiro says, “’cause there’s so much I want to try.� >

veryone’s heard the stats on Vermont and food by now. We’ve got more artisan cheese makers per capita than any other state, more farm produce sold directly to consumers, and all that good stuff. But when we aren’t eating great food or patting ourselves on the back for doing it, chances are we’re . . . writing about it. Seems like there’s always a new crop of local foodie reading material, whether it’s upscale mag Art of Eating, founded by Ed Behr, or Charlotte’s glossy bimonthly Eating Well or the many Earthfriendly tomes on food preservation and gardening that emerge from Chelsea Green Publishing. So it’s almost surprising that it took us this long to get edible Green Mountains. The new quarterly mag is published by Deborah Schapiro and will hit the streets the last week

Even when she worked at the House of Big Macs, Schapiro says, she was a vegetarian. Besides publicizing 30 Massachusetts McRestaurants, Schapiro was the “Ronald McDonald coordinator,� she recalls. “I went around to get kids excited about what today I’d hope they never eat.� But, she insists, “At that time, McDonald’s actually had quality. I tried to focus on those attributes.� She may have been knee-deep in fast food by day, but by night, the young woman who had grown up with her mom’s Hungarian cooking was dipping into haute cuisine. “I took a cooking class at a local high school, and it was with a woman who trained with Madeleine Kamman,� Schapiro relates.

sound bites

A few months ago, I reported that WRUV, UVM’s venerable free-form radio station, was moving from its longtime home in the basement of Billings Student Center to new digs in the recently completed academic monolith, the Davis Center. At the time, it seemed that some folks at the station were less than enthralled with change of locales. But now that the move is complete, some of the DJs are coming around. In particular, Jeremy Ayers, host of the station’s long-running live local-music showcase, “Exposure.” Ayers recently sent along a schedule for the first few weeks of the show — which has been temporarily moved to Monday nights, from 6 to 8. Christening the new studio this Monday are local indie-rock stalwarts Missy Bly and Ryan Power — the latter played a stunning show at the Green Door Studio last Friday, I’m told. The following Monday, September, 24, local rockers Party Star — who, as their MySpace page points out, “sound like a band called ‘Party Star’ should” — take to the airwaves. Then, on October 1, tune in for the noir-ish Americana stylings of St. Albans indie-rock trio Farm. You can tune your radio dial to 90.1 FM, or listen online at www.uvm.edu/~wruv.

CHEERIO, CUSH! The Cush returned safe and sound from a recent tour through merry olde England. Unfortunately, logistical snafus and financial limitations prevented the entire band from traveling across the pond. But according to an email I received from guitarist Burette Douglas, the trip was a blast, and fairly successful to boot. The band played a few gigs in London, with varying results, before heading to the tiny hamlet of Bradfield for a psychedelic-pop extravaganza, The Dream Machine festival. The fest drew fans from across the globe and exposed Burlington’s indie darlings to a diverse international audience, who also enjoyed the spacey sounds of acts such as Wales’ White Noise Sound, Norway’s Je Suis Animal and former Spaceman 3 collaborator Will Caruther. In Douglas’ own words: “We had great shows, sold a lot of records, and made some new fans and friends. I can’t wait to do it again. The crowds over there are very open. It made you feel good about being a musician.” Crikey!

STU-STU-STUDIO The Burlington music scene suffered a significant loss when Daryl Rabidoux and Co. packed up shop and moved their superb studio, Strangeways Recording, to Providence, R.I., earlier this year. While home recording is now easier than ever, there’s still something to be said for working with professional sound engineers, and it appears the Rabidoux void is about to be filled. Justin Gonyea, guitarist for local hard-core heroes Romans, is

opening a new recording studio/multi-use facility in a renovated warehouse in Fort Ethan Allen called Wasted City. The 1700-squarefoot space is slated to feature the typical studio accoutrements: a control room, live room and isolation booth. But the real clincher is the old-school equipment Gonyea plans to employ to record local musicians. The centerpiece of this gear-head’s wet dream is a 24-track analog mixing board that he uses to record directly to ADAT tape machines. No fancy-schmancy ProTools here, kiddies. Those who long for the lush, warm sounds of reel-to-reel recordings would do well to line up studio time now. Wasted City should be open any day now. It will also have a room that Gonyea will make available for performance or rehearsal.

LOBOTOMY What is the deal with Portland, Oregon? In the last few years, it seems that half of Burlington’s music scene has packed up and moved to Left Coast city. Maybe they just want to be closer to The Shins? Anyway, the list of local musicians who’ve split town to seek their fortunes — and maybe a date with one of the Suicide Girls — in Portland is too long to include here. But one Burlington ex-pat is coming back, briefly, and there should LOBOT be much rejoicing. Lobot drummer/vocalist David Evan is returning to town, so the band is getting back together. Actually, it’s only been five months since they disbanded so it’s hard to call it a reunion. But that’s what they’re calling it, so who the hell am I to argue? Other than the music writer guy, of course. If you never caught Lobot when they were together before, check ’em out this Sunday for an early show and barbecue at The Monkey House in Winooski.

stroll past and drop a dollar in their till is that these cats recently took the top prize on Keillor’s “People in Their Twenties Talent Show.” See what all the fuss is about as the group embarks on a two-night hootenanny — or is it a hoedown? — at The Monkey House this Thursday and Friday.

FOUND: AIRHEADS I like to make my excuses up front, so here we go: I don’t know much about these next items. This Thursday, Red Square is hosting an Air Guitar Contest. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that it’s exactly what it sounds like. So, if you want to be a rock star but have no appreciable musical talent — like that’s ever stopped anyone — head down to the Square to sign up by 6 p.m. Word has it that Advance Music is giving away a Fender guitar as the grand prize. I’m hoping it’s real. In other Square news, Found Magazine is swinging by the bar this Saturday night for a party featuring stuff they’ve found. You can even bring some stuff you’ve found. Then you and all that stuff can get your freak on with local hip-hop crew, Ill Intelleks. If you want to know more, find Cathy Resmer’s “State of the Arts” item on page 21.

MORE MONKEY LOVE In the world of old-time bluegrass, few benchmarks are more important than meeting the host of National Public Radio’s “A Prairie Home Companion,” Garrison Keillor. The fictional town of Lake Woebegone’s most famous resident has been instrumental in launching the career of many a young Americana act including Yonder Mountain String Band, Old Crow Medicine Show and now, semilocal old-timey whippersnappers, The Powder Kegs. When they’re not touring or recording in their adopted hometown of New Paltz, N.Y., you’ve likely seen the quintet busking on Church Street in Burlington this summer. What you might not realize as you

AUDREY RYAN, DISHES & PILLS (Folkwit Records, CD)

Is there any musical genre designation less descriptive than “singer-songwriter?” Even more so than “alternative” or “indie,” the singer-songwriter label is injudiciously tossed around the industry, cutting a broad, generic swath across the music-writing landscape. It’s a total cop-out. Rather than investing effort into actually describing what an artist sounds like, it’s much easier just to call any guy or gal with guitar or piano a singer-songwriter and be done with it. Sure, the term generally conjures up visions of some lonely dude pouring his heart into confessional tunes penned in the late-night confines of a messy bedroom, or an angst-filled girl channeling her rage through a keyboard in a coffee shop. But here’s the problem: In the club listings of this very paper, you will see Boston’s Audrey Ryan listed as a “singer-songwriter.” Yes, she sings. And she even writes songs. But as her new album, Dishes & Pills, unequivocally proves, she’s not just a chick with a guitar. Audrey Ryan is a chick with a guitar, keyboard, accordion, bass guitar, lap steel guitar, ukulele, piano, glockenspiel, violin, kalimba and a host of other noisemakers — including the intriguingly dubbed “weird harp thing.” The UVM graduate employs all of those instruments to near perfection on her second full-length album — released on the UK label, Folkwit Records. The result is a sprawling epic of indie-folk ingenuity. Ryan spent years traveling through Asia, Africa and Australia, and it’s likely that her experiences abroad informed her unique approach to songcraft. Structurally, her tunes are pure pop. But she infuses her arrangements with a jazz sensibility, expertly decking out the tunes with all the bells and whistles — quite literally, in most cases. Ryan has received a fair amount of regional press and has been favorably compared to a host of artists, from Joni Mitchell to Beck. While there’s some truth to those references, her work here more closely resembles the experimental folk orchestrations of Sufjan Stevens. Like Michigan’s eclectic tunesmith, Ryan excels at crafting quirkily diverse soundscapes that augment her intricate wordplay. Also like Stevens, her real strength lies in her subtly engaging songwriting; despite the wealth of aural delicacies found on Dishes & Pills, one gets the feeling that these songs would be just as effective if stripped down to guitar and Ryan’s charmingly expressive voice. Singer-songwriter? I guess so. But as is often the case, the term does a terrible injustice to Audrey Ryan. She releases her new CD this Saturday at Radio Bean, where, once upon a time, she painted the door red . . . as a chick with a paintbrush. DAN BOLLES

reviewthis PIERS FACCINI, TEARING SKY (Everloving Records, CD)

Why is it that European artists often have more interesting takes on traditionally American styles than their stateside counterparts? Norwegian singer Sondre Lerche consistently puts out records that turn the jazzpop genre on its ear. The same could be said of England’s Amy Winehouse. Maybe there’s something to that universal-health-care thing after all. With Tearing Sky, English songwriter Piers Faccini continues the trend, delivering 14 tracks of blues-inflected folk psychedelia that stand up favorably to anything released in the U.S. in the last year. Faccini’s second album gets underway with the subtly haunting pseudo-hymn “Each Wave That Breaks.” The song is a fitting intro to an album filled with Delta-tinged regret. The singer’s soothing voice lilts over sparse organ accompaniment, occasionally augmented by a ghostly backing choir. The effect is intimately touching. The next tune, “Sharpening Bone,” switches gears with a laid-back blues-folk vibe that wouldn’t seem out of place on an early Joe Henry album. Here Faccini employs a variety of percussive instruments to lay a foundation that almost borders on acoustic funk, with hints of world beat. Unlike many of his American contemporaries, however, he never lets the genre cross-pollination take center stage, and that keeps the spotlight on his deft songwriting talents. Faccini continues to traverse genre boundaries throughout the record, but he does so with great care and taste, blurring lines without pretension or losing sight of his bluesy roots. In particular, songs such as the sweetly reassuring ballad “The Road’s Not Long,” the bouncing poetic turns of “Sons and Daughters” and the album’s heart-wrenching closer, “Walk Over to You,” are brilliant examples of an artist in fine command of his craft. Tearing Sky is a terrific follow-up to Faccini’s debut, Leave No Trace, which covered similar ground but not nearly as skillfully. Here we find a maturing songwriter at the top of his game. Piers Faccini is appearing with Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals next Wednesday, September 19, at the Flynn MainStage. I imagine this will be the last time we see him as an opening act.

SEVEN DAYS | september 12-19, 2007 | music 15B

As Long as There’s Honky-Tonk… BY DAN BOLLES

A

l Gore invented the Internet, Lee “Scratch” Perry invented turntable scratching, and I invented Honky-Tonk Tuesday at Radio Bean. All three claims contain a modicum of distorted truth. Gore’s work as a senator was instrumental in funding the research necessary to create the Internet. Perry experimented with turntable scratching before DJ Grand Wizard Theodore and/or Grandmaster Flash refined the technique and brought it to the masses. And, yes, the honky-tonk sessions were technically my idea. But as is often the case when determining the actual originator of an event or concept, the truth is more complicated than it may seem. Two years ago, my good friend and then band mate David Stockhausen was a baristo at Radio Bean during the Irish Sessions on Wednesday nights. I have nothing against traditional Irish music — or the talented session players who still play on Wednesday nights. But, having tended bar at an Irish pub in Boston for several years, I’m all too familiar with how grating reels and jigs can become when one is subjected to them over an extended period of time, especially in a work setting. As such, I frequently found myself at the Bean on Wednesday nights out of sympathy for David. Over the course of several months, the idea evolved to borrow the Ceili premise for a different genre: honky-tonk. The regular-night idea works well with Celtic music, jazz and bluegrass, we thought, so why not country? We enlisted the help of local country-crooner extraordinaire Brett Hughes and proposed the idea to Radio Bean owner Lee Anderson. He readily accepted, and Honky-Tonk Tuesday was born. Stockhausen and I would handle front man/guitar

duties while Hughes manned the drums and provided direction with his wealth of country knowledge. We would invite anyone with a song to sing or instrument to play to join the party. The first few sessions were modestly successful, and occasionally hinted at the weekly institution the night would eventually become. But before you can take a step forward, sometimes you needs to take a step back and get rid of the dead weight — in this case, me. As my interest in Honky-Tonk Tuesday began to fade, Hughes was reluctantly forced into the spotlight. As I stopped showing up and he began recruiting heavyweights, the quality of the music increased exponentially. Folks such as pedal-steel guru Gordon Stone, former Phish bassist Mike Gordon — who would later nab several regulars to form the all-star country outfit Ramble Dove — and RAQ guitarist Chris Michetti rotated in and out every week. Word quickly spread that Radio Bean was the place to be on Tuesday nights. Soon, musicians from across Burlington’s vast musical landscape began showing up to lend their chops. The result: Burlington’s answer to the Grand Ole Opry. Last week, Honky-Tonk Tuesday celebrated its second anniversary with a cavalcade of honkers past and present. In addition to Stone and Gordon, Nocturnals bassist Bryan Dondero, jazz guitarist Nick Cassarino, Chrome Cowboy bassist Mark Ransom, Chuch drummer Justin Crowther and other local luminaries crowded the tiny North Winooski Avenue coffeeshop for a night of booze-swillin’, bootstompin’ fun. As evidenced by the throng of people standing outside the Bean for most of the night — and an inevitable visit from two uniformed members of the Burlington Police — Honky-Tonk Tuesday’s popularity has grown immeasurably since its

Radio Bean’s venerable twangy Tuesday turns two

inception, thanks in no small part to Hughes. Regular audience member Josh Talbert, 28, says the laid-back, welcoming atmosphere Hughes has created is key to the night’s continued success. “He treats everyone with the same level of respect,” says Talbert, adding, “Whether you’re Gordon Stone or just some guy from the audience, you’re welcome on that stage.” As the evening’s cast of characters rotated on and off the stage, Talbert’s assessment proved remarkably accurate: The head honky-tonker even allowed a certain local music critic to butcher a Merle Haggard tune. Regardless of who was on stage, Hughes maintained a playful professionalism. His interplay with the crowd and the band — especially with long-time pianist and singer Marie Claire, 24 — is pure country camp. Everyone, performers and audience members alike, eat it up. “That’s when it’s the most fun,” said Claire. “When the line

between the stage and the audience disappears and the whole thing just turns into one big party.” Lately, that’s exactly what the event has become; no one, including Hughes, really knows what to expect from week to week. Sometimes only one or two players show up. Other nights, the stage swarms with talent. Sometimes there are themes — murder ballads are always popular. Sometimes Hughes calls on the audience to make up a new tune on the spot — an original staple of the sessions. “That’s my favorite part,” says Talbert. “Every night is different.” Brett Hughes and Co. have turned HonkyTonk Tuesday into something more special than either Stockhausen or I could have conceived. The night now offers a musical crossroads and reflects Burlington’s vibrant music community. Who’d a thunk it? Happy Birthday, Honky-Tonk! Long may you live. �

triple play Cyrus Chestnut started young: At age 7, the musician and composer was already tickling the ivories at his family’s Baptist church. The standout jazz pianist grew up to gig with genre greats Dizzy Gillespie, Branford Marsalis, Chick Corea and Betty Carter. Among other albums, his solo career has yielded a redux of the Vince Guaraldi Trio’s A Charlie Brown Christmas. (The original recording was Chestnut’s intro to jazz as a kid.) Grounded in gospel and classically trained, he shows a familiarity with multiple genres, music theory and arranging that makes for a warmspirited, lyrical approach. Bassist Michael Hawkins and drummer Neal Smith round out Chestnut’s sound on a selection of delicately rendered standards and melodically inventive originals. Cyrus Chestnut Trio

scene@ HAMSTER BALL DERBY & CRITTER RUN PETCO, BURLINGTON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2 P.M.

pHoTo: maTTHew THorsen

I’ve never owned a hamster. As kids, my brother and I kept gerbils, and when we were raising our many generations of fuzzy nibblers in the mid-’80s, plastic exercise balls had yet to make the rodent-running scene. So it was with curiosity that I observed kids who’d brought their hamsters to Petco’s semi-annual, in-store Hamster Ball Derby, extracting their four-legged charges from carrying containers and snapping them inside colorful, translucent spheres. Only five kids had registered their rodents for the race, but their parents and siblings formed a decent crowd next to towers of glass cases labeled with descriptions of their inhabitants. (The “Long-Haired Teddy Bear Hamster” from Syria seemed to be in hiding.) Strands of triangular, white-and-black-checked plastic pennants gave a Monte Carlo ambiance to the enclosure where three parallel, 10-foot sections of black plastic track stood at the ready. Kids waited patiently to set their hamster balls on the track, which would keep them rolling straight. “Are his cheeks still full?” a mom called across to her middle-school-aged daughter. The girl peered inside the turquoise globe she held, then looked up with a worried face, nodding. Her dad reassured her, then explained to bystanders. “He ate the box on the way. Stuffed his cheeks.” There was a brief pause while one hamster ball was cleaned up from an incident of hamster poo, perhaps brought on by the occupant’s pre-race jitters. The store’s manager introduced himself and offered some timely info about raw cabbage curing “wet tail,” a euphemism for hamster diarrhea. In the first race, the blue-orbed box-eater got off to a slow start against Austin, a speedy hot ticket in a red ball that he propelled across the finish line in under 10 seconds. The three remaining racers went fuzzy-eared head to fuzzy-eared head next, their owners urging them on. “C’mon, Rocco!” A boy nudged his hamster’s plastic container, but Rocco and a timid critter named Honeydew lost the lead to Simba, an orange-and-white cutie the size of a large sweet potato. Before the final heat, the manager had the crowd mimic a last-round racing trumpet, then Austin made another no-pause beeline to win the grand prix. Every participant got something to take home, from stickers to a calendar featuring photos of hamsters lounging in little hammocks. Austin’s owner, Kristen Jensen, got four circular sections of black track to make a training circle for the champ’s next official run. But the actual prize couldn’t hold a candle to the teeny-tiny trophy. I hope Austin has a miniature mantel in his Habitrail. MEGHAN DEWALD

MARATHON RUN When the Chandler Music Hall opened its doors in 1907, courtesy of Randolph benefactor Colonel Albert Chandler, women were still wearing corsets, floor-length skirts and Gibson Girl updos. Attendees of the historic hall’s centennial shindig glimpse these and other bygone fashions in a pre-show sidewalk costume parade from Colonel Chandler’s home to the theater. Inside, more than 150 performers present a chronological whirlwind tour of plays, music, dance, novels, poems, operas and paintings that have premiered anywhere in the 100 years since the Chandler opened. Arts appreciators unwilling to sit for the full seven hours can take the show by halves — holding out for a onehour dinner break or the post-curtaincall party — or drop in for a half-hourlong decade, at $2.50 a pop. Bon voyage! ‘101 Premieres: PHOTO: BOB EDDY

CARRY THAT WEIGHT Church Street strollers see red this Saturday, when people power moves a full-size fire truck up a slight incline. Twelve-person teams each get two shots at tugging the truck 30 feet; after slowest times are tossed, the fastest overall wins. Why strain to move a double-axle service vehicle that weighs as much as 40 tons? It’s impressive, and folks will pay to see it: Each volunteer dozen needs donor pledges totaling $1000 to pick up the rope. The pull lightens the load for local LGBTQ teens by helping fund Outright Vermont’s advocacy and support efforts. No word on whether the truck’s water tank will be full, but spectators can expect cheerleaders, team songs and a prize for best-costumed pulling posse. Roll ’em! Fire Truck Pull

BELLE EPOQUE Michèle Sharik is an original in the world of handbell music. Most people know it as a seasonal phenomenon: Bellringing groups pop up at winter holiday concerts full of tintinnabulatory takes on traditional carols. They’re typically ensembles of nine to 13 musicians, given the level of coordination necessary to play a complicated tune while keeping time. But California-based Sharik is a soloist who carefully choreographs her concert performances. In The Golden Dance, she makes music from Renaissance England by lifting more than 250 pounds of bronze in rapid time, gracefully manipulating 44 bells that span three and a half octaves. See and hear Sharik (pictured) sound off in a concert assisted by Rutland ringer Karen James, and joined by clarinetist David Klock, bassoonist Lindra Moerdyck and drummer Mark Whitman.

Mistress

Maeve

Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust! Dear Mistress Maeve, I am so sick of buying cute little vibrators (I collect shades of purple) only to have them die on me shortly after purchase. I’m not talking about the batteries draining or the motor burning out; I mean when I’m turning the speed dial and the whole thing just suddenly stops, or it mysteriously won’t start, even with fresh batteries. Occasionally some twisting or disassembling/reassembling will bring them back to life. I suspect what is going on is that some internal contacts are not being made or wires have lost touch. I can’t imagine how to fix this without slicing through their silicone flesh with an X-Acto blade to isolate the disconnect. And then what? Wrap it back up in duct tape? I don’t think so. I’ve come to refer to this phenomenon as SVD (Sudden Vibrator Death). I bought an adorable lavender vibe at a local shop last week, which is acting suspiciously already. I tend to spend in the $15-30 range, afraid to drop more money on an uncertain proposition. Do pricier models boast better longevity? Molly

Dear Molly, To have your purple pal peter out, so to speak, is nothing short of a tragedy — especially if you’re about to orgasm (been there, done that). The old adage holds true, even for sex toys: You get what you pay for. Buying cheaper toys locally is a cost-effective option if you want to experiment with a new type of toy, if you have multiple partners and don’t wish to share dildos, or if it’s Labor Day weekend and all your friends are coupled and/or out of town so you decide to squelch your boredom by trying a larger-sized butt plug. (Or is that just me?) However, when you’re looking for a trusty vibe, do yourself a favor and don’t be a cheapskate. While I always advocate shopping locally when possible, well-known online companies such as Babeland.com and GoodVibes.com tend to have better return policies, making SVD less of a deterrent to purchasing pricier toys. Most will take a defective product back within 30 days and issue an exchange or credit. Plus, you get the benefit of user-generated critiques and ratings. Molly, just remember this: A $15 vibe gets you a $15 ride. So go ahead and invest in that high-end toy you’ve been eyeing that has all the bells and whistles — I’m pretty sure it comes in purple.

Many happy returns (or not),

MM

In our world and society, we spend much of our time in a quest for success. In our fast paced world we often lose sight of what is most important, ourselves and our relationships. Through different interactive and creative drama techniques including Playback Theatre, we will explore connection in a safe supportive and creative environment. About Playback Theatre_Moments of our lives can be touchstones, full of power and significance. Playback Theatre transforms personal stories told by audience members into theatre pieces on the spot, using movement, ritual, music and spoken improvisation. Sometimes a story becomes myth, sometimes a realistic enactment: some stories are tragic; others are funny or illuminating._Workshop participants will share in the often profound experience of hearing each other’s stories and bringing them to life. The Playback process develops intuition, insight, creativity and effective communication. It also creates community and connection among people by honoring the dignity, drama and universality in their stories. This workshop is for anyone interested in creating art from the specific and universal in our experience. 6 weeks Monday evenings 7-9 pm September 10, 17, 24 and October 1 and 15 $150.00 Limit 8 people Please Call: 860-6203 for informa-

I was looking for a roommate, someone responsible — a professional or a grad student. I placed the ad online with Seven Days, and, 15 minutes later, I had a phone call. 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. It makes sense — the readers of Seven Days tend to be intelligent and thoughtful people. LANE GIBSON ACTOR AND SOCIAL-SERVICE WORKER SOUTH BURLINGTON
