My favorite lunch place is... the middle of the lake with a picnic basket and friends...preferably ones with culinary skills! (You know who you are!) My most prized possession is... an original sketch by Chuck Jones of Bugs Bunny made out to me personally.

If I had a private jet I would… obviously be stinkin’ rich…which would mean that I would have the luxury of insuring that my parents could retire young, foot-loose and fancy-free, right alongside me!

My favorite hobby is... my boat. In my business, summers are very demanding, but each time I take a spin to watch the sunset, it’s a mini-vacation! Something I would like to do, but haven’t had the chance… understand the stock market, hike Mt. Mansfield, fly an airplane, visit Tokyo, snorkel in Fiji, sell 100 houses in 12 months, drive up the Pacific Coast Highway in a convertible. The best part about summer is... hot, balmy nights when you drive home from dinner with the sunroof open and all the windows down and it’s still 80 degrees!

Before I was a Realtor, one of my interesting jobs was... My mom chuckles about my first entrepreneurial venture: in junior high school I would go grocery shopping with her and buy gum and candy in bulk packages…I would then sell my inventory from my locker to fellow students at retail, earning a healthy 100 percent-plus profit!

IT’S YOUR LOSS Count me in as a taxpayer in Winooski whose jaw dropped when I received my tax bill [“After Revitalization and Re-assessment, Winooski Takes on the Tax Man,� September 12]. But instead of throwing a “For Sale� sign on the

front lawn and dissing the Winooski School District, I took pride in the fact I’m now living in a $200,000 house. Who would have thought? Little ole lower-middle-class me? I’m sure that cages are being rattled in City Hall, and I trust The Powers That Be to do something righteous about the unhappy homeowners. In the meantime, I am glad to live in Winooski and am proud of the parents who believe in their child’s potential, as well as teachers’ and administrators’ abilities to get the best out of the public education system. Winooski is what we make of it. I feel sorry for the folks who have decided to leave our city while we are still polishing up the silverware and setting the table. Wendy Whaples Scully

proposal, inanimate institutions such as hospitals, HMOs and insurance companies are capable of having a conscience — at least when it comes to denying care or coverage! What about insisting on coverage based on the institution’s supposed conscience? You don’t hear much about that, eh? Maybe the legislature should take that up. Jessica Oski BURLINGTON

TUITION TREMORS I attend a private college and I am feeling the direct hit of decreased federal spending for higher education.

Just this past year, my tuition went up 5 percent, which made a grand total of $37,405. Seeing that I am completely financing my own education, price increases like this make it an increasingly difficult task. At this rate, it will be $60,000 to attend my college in 2017. My question: Who will be able to afford this ghastly figure? Middlebury College itself is not exempt from such cost increases. In the 2006-2007 year, attending cost $44,330. So when I hear that institutions are being investigated for possible financial kickbacks for directing students to particular

lenders [“Feds Visit College,� September 5], it disgusts me to think that colleges are benefiting even more from our financial struggles. What are the colleges doing with all our money? Where are these financial kickbacks going? They keep asking for more money, and I just keep giving it without seeing the direct benefits of paying more. How could this happen? Are they not required to complete a statement of where all their funds are coming from and where they more letters >> 18a

Whaples Scully is a former Winooski school board member. CONSCIENCE CHECK I was fascinated to read Ken Picard’s article about Vermont House Bill H. 315 — an act relating to health-care rights of conscience [“VT’s Rights of Conscience Bill Would Shield Health Care Pros Who Deny Care, Prescriptions,� August 29]. The bill, if enacted, would allow hospitals and healthinsurance companies to refuse to participate in any “health care service that violates its conscience.� According to this

EMBRACING BREASTS Applebee’s response of offering blankets to all nursing mothers is unacceptable [“Got Milk,� September 12] because it promotes the idea that breastfeeding is a shameful act. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding exclusively for six months and advises mothers to continue breastfeeding for at least one year. The World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding for two years. Women who follow this advice are not just making a lifestyle choice. They are following doctors’ orders. Mothers have many reasons to be out in public and often cannot wait until it is “more convenient� to others to feed their baby. If our culture embraced breastfeeding as the norm, current statistics regarding children’s health would surely improve. As a result, more women may choose to breastfeed and more may stick with it longer. Businesses should adopt breastfeeding-friendly policies and should consider posting the International Breastfeeding Symbol in their storefronts. Chelsea Clark

»webpage » 08 Presidential Poll online Last week we reported that three influential Vermont Democrats have endorsed Senator Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential race, and we asked you to vote for your favorite candidate in an online poll.

plenty of information on his official campaign website, www. ronpaul2008.com. If you’re wondering why he won so big in our poll, check out the unofficial VT Ron Paul profile on MySpace. Here’s what it says, under “About Me”:

Turns out Seven Days readers like Obama, too. Our Democratic candidate poll attracted 188 voters, 29.3 percent of whom chose Obama. Senator Hillary Clinton came in second, with 18.6 percent, and Representative Dennis Kucinich nabbed 15.4 percent. Long-shot candidate and Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd edged out former vicepresidential candidate John Edwards, 10.6 to 7.4 percent. We asked you to vote on the Republicans, too, and that race was a blowout. More than half of the 129 respondents — 54.3 percent — would like to see maverick Texas Congressman Ron Paul at the top of the Republican ticket. Who is Ron Paul, you ask? If you look online, you’ll find

Pants on Fire!

You’ve probably heard about Bill Simmon’s upcoming projects involving late local rock icons The Pants. If you haven’t, here’s the synopsis: A little over a year ago, Tommy Law, Pistol Stamen, Hutch and Tad Cautious reunited for a one-night-only blowout at the Higher Ground Ballroom. The crown princes of Burlington’s alt-rock renaissance rocked like it was Club Toast in 1996, enthralling a room full of aging hipsters eager for a nostalgic romp down memory lane. Or so I’m told. You see, I wasn’t there. That same day happened to be my grandmother’s funeral in Jamestown, Rhode Island. Aside from the obvious emotional distress, the real insult added to injury was missing the only band reunion I’ve ever been truly excited about — though The Pixies and Big Star had their appeal, I must admit. I’ve written this before, but The Pants were hugely important in my formative years, and Tom Lawson’s songwriting is directly responsible for my decision to pursue music as a youngster and beyond. Whether he knows that — or cares — is kind of irrelevant. But it’s the truth. But back to Bill Simmon. The Candleboy is producing a pair of DVD projects centered on the reunion. One is a concert film; the other a documentary retrospective on the band and the impact they had on Burlington’s music community. In the concert film, there’s a scene in which Neil Cleary relays a message to the band, sent by my sister, Ariel, that my siblings and I had done a version of the classic Pants ballad “Wounded (You’re So Fine)” at my grandmother’s wake — we’re Irish, so drinking and singing is a big part of any family gathering, especially the sad ones. We performed the song in tribute to the band that we all loved, out of remorse for missing the show. In our weaker moments, each of us toyed with the idea of trying to make it back to Burlington in time to catch it — and I’m honestly not so sure my grandmother wouldn’t have approved. But obviously, we stayed. Flash forward to this year. I met Bill at the Seven Daysies awards party and he proposed the idea of The Bolles Family Singers recording our version of “Wounded” to be included in the documentary. Flabbergasted and more than a little flattered, I eagerly accepted without consulting Ari or Tyler. Honestly, I would have done it solo, if I’d had to — thank God I didn’t. A few weeks ago, we descended on Egan Media and recorded the song that served as the soundtrack to all of my romantic follies from age 16 to, well, now. It was surreal, to say the least. We recorded it live, with acoustic guitar, upright bass and banjo and had to drop the key a whole step — my range ain’t quite what it used to be, and I’ve always had trouble matching Tom’s tenor. But it sounded good. Really good. I think. I’m not sure when the finished product will be available, but when I know, so will you. In the meantime, you can keep an eye out over at Candleblog — which you should anyway. It’s really good. Read more online... Posted September 18 by Dan Bolles

BURLINGTON — Mary Lake, 23, says she learned a lot during her one-year stint as a copy editor at The Burlington Free Press. “I worked with some of the best writers and editors I’ll probably ever meet,” she commented last week, a few days prior to quitting the paper. “The people there are very talented and hardworking, but they’re just overwhelmed. I learned what good journalism is and also how a publication can be not nearly as good as it should be.” Lake, a St. Michael’s College journalism graduate, is leaving the Freeps in search of more flexibility, variety and a sense of personal achievement. She feels freelance reporting will give her all that — more of it, anyway, than her former employer provided. Frustration and alienation helped push the native Vermonter out the door of the state’s largest daily. “What’s going on at the Free Press doesn’t make any sense,” Lake declares — not angrily, but mournfully. “Everything they’re doing is the opposite of what they should be doing to produce a great newspaper everyone can trust.” The prime problem, in her view, is that the Freeps has “too many products and too few producers.” The paper should either

reverse its recent expansions or hire more staffers, but it is doing neither, Lake observes. In the past year, the Free Press has started publishing five free weeklies targeted to Colchester, Essex, South Burlington, Williston and Franklin County. Meanwhile, the paper is enlarging its freestanding weekend section and jazzing up its website with video and interactive elements. At the same time, it has been losing reporters and editors — lots of them. The Free Press has been without a managing editor since last year. Eleven newsroom employees — roughly a fifth of the paper’s core staff — have departed in the past few months. Only a couple of those vacancies have been filled. The brain drain extends to other departments, too. The total workforce at 191 College Street has dwindled from 211 fulltimers a year ago to fewer than 170 today, according to a current Free Press reporter who, like several others, agreed to speak only if guaranteed anonymity. The exodus could continue and maybe even accelerate in the coming months. “Everyone I know at the paper is looking for another job,” Lake says. Another journalist describes the mood in

the newsroom as “gotta get out while the getting’s good.” The reporter notes that it’s better to be searching for a new position while you’ve still got a job. Fear of retribution — including firing — is the reason most often cited by half a dozen current Free Press employees for not attaching their names to their comments. Even some former newsroom workers worry about the repercussions of being identified. “It’s scary to say anything because Gannett owns so many newspapers,” says one reporter-turned-publicist. “I could be blacklisted if I ever tried to go back into journalism.” The employment numbers supplied by an anonymous Free Press source cannot be confirmed. The Gannett Co., the Virginia-based owner of the Free Press, does not divulge payroll breakdowns for the 85 dailies in its stable. And Free Press Executive Editor Mike Townsend, designated by Publisher Jim Carey as the go-to guy for this story, declined to provide tallies of newsroom staffing. Townsend also would not comment on a hypothesis shared by many Freepsters, past and present, which might explain what’s happening to the 180-year-old newspaper. “I’m not going to

say they’re wrong or right about anything in that respect. There’s a lot about the economics of the media now that none of us understand,” Townsend says. Gannett, the largest newspaper publisher in the United States, has a reputation within the industry for hypersensitivity to the bottom line. With 23 U.S. television stations and 17 United Kingdom publications also among its holdings, Gannett last year pocketed profits of $1.2 billion on revenues of $8 billion. Not too shabby. But the conglomerate’s profit margins have been narrowing in the age of the Internet due to declining revenues from newspaper advertising and circulation. Meanwhile, Gannett’s share prices have been tanking on Wall Street as investors fret over the future of old-school media brands. The company does say that its local newspapers’ combined classified advertising revenue plummeted 13 percent in July. And Gannett’s annual reports show that the Free Press’ paid readership averaged 45,406 on weekdays and 52,008 on Sunday last year — 6000 and 10,000 fewer, respectively, than in 1998 when Chittenden County’s population was significantly smaller than it is today. Free Press employees interviewed for this story generally believe the paper remains among the most profitable of Gannett’s U.S. print properties. Rumor ranks it 6th out of 85. But none of the paid help knows for sure, because Gannett doesn’t divulge earnings reports for individual papers to employees. Townsend isn’t talking numbers, either. In order to maintain profitability in the face of diminishing revenues, the theory holds, the Freeps has decided — on orders from headquarters in Virginia — to squeeze expenses by leaving job openings unfilled and by chopping employee perks. As a result, the remaining employees are being required to do more work for the same pay. Some argue that their compensation is actually being reduced. The company’s recent decision to stop paying for about 100 staff parking spaces is saving the Free Press as much as $100,000 a year, but it is costing employees several dollars a week in garage charges, meter fees and parking tickets. There’s also resentment over management’s rejection of a staff petition seeking an increase in the paper’s 30-cents-a-mile reimbursement rate for work-related car travel. The Free Press doesn’t pay for reporters to attend professional development conferences. And until a few months ago, “there was this guy who went around turning off lights all over the building,” Lake notes. “It was pretty funny because he’d often turn them off in the men’s room when someone was in there.” In addition to sapping morale — which one veteran reporter describes as “the worst I’ve ever experienced at a newspaper” — this corporate penny-pinching is damaging the quality of journalism at The Burlington Free Press, according to newsroom sources. With fewer reporters and editors expected to generate and process

ever greater amounts of content, “It’s inevitable you’re going to rely more on press releases and wire copy,” the same reporter says. “This paper is broken. There’s no real desire to improve.” The greatest loss from the new order may be stories that never get written. “There’s less in-depth reporting because the paper can’t pull anyone off their regular beat and give them a couple of weeks to develop an analytical or investigative piece,” says one Free Press reporter. The paper also can’t adequately cover important beats, this source adds. No reporter is assigned full-time to Fletcher Allen Health Care or the Burlington school system, for example. The Free Press also no longer maintains a year-round bureau at the State House in Montpelier. Short, light and fluffy is now seen as the ideal form of newswriting at the Free Press, according to some reporters. At a newsroom

says, some journalists did denigrate Gannett as profit-obsessed while extolling The New York Times Co. as “the best steward of newspapers in the country.” But the turmoil in the ink trade unleashed by the rise of electronic media has changed all that, Jurkowitz adds. “It used to be that the good guys and bad guys were easily discerned. Now, some of those distinctions have gotten blurred,” he says. Gannett is also not alone among legacy media companies in responding to a shifting, shaking industry landscape by experimenting with unfamiliar forms of information packaging and delivery. In fact, the company has ventured more boldly than most newspaper chains into uncharted terrain. The Free Press’ enhanced emphasis on local news is in keeping with one of Gannett’s chief tenets for success in the 21st century. It assumes that most readers can easily get national and international news from Internet

What’s going on at the Free Press doesn’t make any sense. Everything they’re doing is the opposite of what they should be doing to produce a great newspaper everyone can trust. MARY LAKE strategy session, one reporter says, Carey held up a copy of People magazine as a model the Free Press should be striving to emulate. The Freeps’ overseers in Virginia don’t show much concern for journalistic standards, suggests St. Michael’s journalism professor Traci Griffith. “Gannett is a corporation first and foremost,” she observes. “It just happens that this corporation does news. It could just as easily produce potato chips.” But potato chip makers don’t have the special responsibility to the public that newspapers are supposed to have, Griffith adds. “If journalists want to hold onto all that’s said in the First Amendment, we’ve got to accept the responsibilities that go with it,” she declares. Griffith is referring to the press’ historic role as a monitor of powerful interests and a champion of the right to know. Griffith does concede, however, that the forces buffeting Gannett and its franchises are raging throughout the entire media industry. Free Press employees are hardly unique in experiencing cutbacks and “speedups.” Hundreds of journalists have been pink-slipped at major metropolitan dailies in the past couple of years. A newsroom source says Freeps publisher Carey has mentioned layoffs as a possibility. Gannett doesn’t deserve to be singled out as a cold-hearted villain, suggests Mark Jurkowitz, associate director of the Washington-based Project for Excellence in Journalism. A decade ago, he

sites but have much greater difficulty in learning from the web what’s happening in their own communities. And media consumers do hunger for local news, Gannett believes on the basis of marketing surveys. The company thus sees intense localism as the key to continued prosperity. On most days, therefore, the second page of the Free Press’ Vermont section is divided into four parts, each devoted to a particular community. This socalled quad contains stories and photos about Colchester, Essex, South Burlington and Williston. Many of the words and images will later be “re-purposed” for the free weeklies distributed to all suburban households that do not subscribe to the Free Press. “The quad is an example of marketing driving the paper rather than news,” says a former Free Press reporter who tracked the towns. “It’s all about advertising. ‘Fill the quad, fill the quad,’ we were always being told. But it may well be that there’s no real news coming out of Essex, say, on a given day. So what are we going to do? Put in a picture of someone’s dog?” Shots of pets do occasionally make their way into the quad. And the slot reserved for Colchester was recently filled with a preview of a local Wiffleball tournament. The ultra-local approach embraced by the Free Press also features come-ons to readers to “get published.” The practice of local matters >> 12a

encouraging town residents to write their own news stories is sometimes referred to as “citizen journalism.” But to one former towns reporter at the Freeps, “It’s not good journalism. It might not even be journalism.” Gannett’s vision of newspapers as relentlessly localized in their content involves a greater reliance on journalistic technology. The company wants reporters to spend full days in the field, equipped with an array of digital devices that enable them to post stories and pictures directly onto the

jobs are hurtling toward extinction, Townsend adds. “There’s no end of the road for local news,” he says. “There’s also an incredible hunger for sports coverage.” Staff morale isn’t so bad, Donoghue says. “I’d describe it more as a wondering attitude — people wondering what the future will hold.” Journalists at the Free Press and elsewhere do have good reason for feeling insecure in their jobs, Donoghue acknowledges. “It’s all a little scary when you see hundreds of people nationally being laid off.” Would the situation be different if the Free Press were owned

Gannett is not alone among legacy media companies in responding to a shifting, shaking industry landscape by experimenting with unfamiliar forms of information packaging and delivery. paper’s website at almost hourly intervals. These mobile journalists are referred to as “mojos.” The Free Press has tried to develop its own squadron of mojos, one reporter recounts. “We got trained in shooting video, and we were all given laptops so we could file from wherever. But there’s not been much followthrough. The website is getting more and more glitzy, but it’s in-house techies who are driving that, not so much the reporters.” For all its faults and struggles, there are many positive aspects of the 2007 incarnation of The Burlington Free Press, according to several current and former journalists. Not surprisingly, those offering favorable assessments are much more willing to be quoted by name. Doreen Wright, for example, says she had no major complaints during her 35-year, mainly copyediting career with Gannett — 22 at the Free Press and 13 at USA Today, the company’s trendsetting national daily. “The only reason I left was to get a life change,” says Wright, who has been work-

2x6-laneseries091907.indd 1

ing at the Essex Reporter for the past two months. “I like being on the day shift, Monday to Friday.” Jeff Dickinson, a graphic artist who left the Free Press in June after 10 years, sees Gannett simply as “a business that’s trying to find ways to continue making money.” The company is putting considerable effort into website development, he says, “because that’s where advertising revenues are growing. What’s wrong with that?” Dickinson also challenges the charge that the Freeps seldom reports in-depth. Reporters Candace Page and Molly Walsh both write those kinds of stories, he says.

The currently high rate of attrition may indicate nothing exceptional, Dickinson proposes. “The Free Press has always been a starter paper for most reporters,” he says. “Young journalists work there two or three years, they get some experience and then they move on. “ Mike Donoghue, a sports reporter who started filing for the Free Press in 1968 while still in high school, agrees that the spiking turnover may prove to be of little significance. The paper has experienced spates of resignations in the past, Donoghue recalls. And those exiting the newsroom in recent months had a variety of motives, he points out. Some were lured away by offers of higher pay in marketing or public relations; others left Vermont because a spouse was relocating; a few simply reached retirement age. And at least a couple of former Freepsters are eager to return, Townsend says, noting he’s received resumes for copy editor openings from ex-employees. It isn’t as though newsroom

by locals, rather than a conglomerate with 50,000 employees? Probably not, says Griffith of the St. Mike’s journalism department. “It’s such a tough climate out there now, I don’t know how a locally owned business could cope better than Gannett.” Jeff Pinkham, who left the Free Press in June after eight years as a sports reporter, now writes for a newspaper with an ownership arrangement that some journalists would view as ideal. The Idaho Falls Post Register has been employeeowned for almost a decade. So it’s a better place to work than the Free Press, right? Pinkham isn’t sure about that. “There’s less red tape here,” he says, “and we can change direction more quickly than a paper owned by Gannett. But I’ve only been here a month. Ask me how I feel a year from now.” > Kevin Kelley teaches journalism and English at St. Michael’s College. Mary Lake is a former student. Donoghue and Griffith are colleagues.

Fletcher Allen Downsizes Nurse-Midwife Program to Dismay of Supporters

Send & receive neighborhood news at:

by KEN PICARD

BURLINGTON — When Carolyn Schmidt gave birth to her first child several years ago, she delivered her baby with the help of a certified nurse-midwife at Gifford Medical’s Montpelier birthing center. She speaks for the small percentage of women who opt for midwives over physician-assisted births when she says she wanted someone helping with her labor and delivery who viewed pregnancy as a “normal condition,” not an illness or medical emergency requiring drugs and invasive care. So when Schmidt moved to South Burlington and got pregnant again earlier this year, she once again sought out a nursemidwife — this time through the Claire M. Lintilhac Nurse Midwifery Service at Fletcher Allen. And, as she’d done with her first child, Schmidt scheduled a water birth, a delivery option many women say is easier on mother and baby alike.

for a long time and was based on the declining number of women opting for midwifery deliveries, says Fletcher Allen spokesman Mike Noble. According to Noble, the program has been steadily losing money each year, even as the overall number of hospital births — between 2100 and 2250 annually — has remained constant. Between 2004 and this year, the program lost $482,278. Interestingly, a spokesperson for Gifford Medical Center says their midwife-based birthing program “continues to thrive” with four nurse-midwives and three OB-GYNs. Of the 300 or so births per year, between 60 and 70 percent are midwife-assisted. Dr. Roger Young, who runs the unit that will absorb the nursemidwife staff at Fletcher Allen, says he can’t say for sure why the hospital’s number of nurse-midwife patients have been declining. However, he suspects it’s due

the Vermont Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals, which represents Fletcher Allen’s five nurse-midwives. Although Henry could not discuss the details of the current negotiations — the hospital is saying that as many as three nurse-midwives could lose their jobs due to this change — she is surprised that the administration would be talking about profits before patients, especially when it comes to mothers and babies. “This is a decision that has to be driven from the patients’ side,” Henry says. “We have medicine units that lose a tremendous amount of money in the hospital. But we would never dream of saying, ‘We can’t take care of your 80-year-old ventilated mother,’ because it can’t be about money all the time.” Ironically, Fletcher Allen’s recent financial statements show the hospital is in good finanPhoto: joRDAN sIlvERmAN

But Schmidt’s December baby may not have that exit strategy. Two weeks ago, Fletcher Allen notified her, along with several dozen other expectant mothers, that the hospital is eliminating its stand-alone nurse-midwifery program and will soon incorporate it into the hospital’s low-risk obstetrical practice. As a result, the state’s largest hospital, which handles about a third of all births in Vermont, will no longer provide 24-hour nursemidwifery services. In effect, Schmidt’s chance of delivering with a nurse-midwife will be determined by fate — i.e., if a nursemidwife is on call the day she delivers. And, since most physicians aren’t trained in water births, that, too, may no longer be an option. “This isn’t what we signed up for,” says Schmidt. “To change it midway is a little distressing.” The decision to eliminate the freestanding nurse-midwifery program, which has been around since 1975, has been under consideration

to a number of factors, including competition from other midwife providers in the community, as well as more women being amenable to “high-tech deliveries.” But others in the community are challenging the hospital’s accounting and are asking that the decision be reconsidered. Crea Lintilhac is president of the Lintilhac Foundation, which helped found the hospital’s nurse-midwifery program in 1975. Since 1987, the foundation has provided about $2.8 million in financial support to the nurse-midwife program. Lintilhac says that she and her husband, Phil, were never consulted about the hospital’s decision to phase it out; they were simply informed it had been made. “It’s always been our dream that midwives would increase in number and flourish and spread across the landscape,” says Lintilhac, who delivered her third child with a nurse-midwife at Fletcher Allen. “This is a program that we would like to fight to keep.” Jennifer Henry is president of

cial shape this year. On a yearto-date basis, Fletcher Allen’s net income from operations was $21.7 million, above its budgeted $13 million for that period. Another key financial indicator, earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization, stood at $60.1 million for the first three quarters — significantly more than a forecasted $53 million. Marti Churchill is a nursemidwife who’s been working at Fletcher Allen for 14 years. Due to her seniority, she says she’s not worried about losing her job, but is concerned what it might mean to have the midwife program absorbed into a more clinical-minded approach to birthing. “It’s a different model of care. It’s certainly not how I see midwifery,” Churchill says. “Do I think that I have something to offer women in that situation? Absolutely.” The nurse’s union and the hospital administration plan to meet again on this issue on the next two Tuesdays, September 25 and October 2. >

Just look at how the “Vermont Left” is struggling to find a credible potential challenger to the GOP governor of the only state President George W. Bush won’t set foot in? Former Democratic State Sen. Matt Dunne of Windsor County, defeated in the 2006 Lite-Gov race by the Republican incumbent Brian Dubie, is looking like the Ds’ best shot at the moment. But Dunne is holding off on a decision about a gubernatorial bid until November. It’s quite clear that Gov. Scissorhands is a shoo-in for reelection in a three-way contest. Democratic State Sen. Peter Shumlin of Windham County, the colorful senate president pro tem, has even been publicly floating the name of GOP State Sen. Vince Illuzzi from the Northeast Kingdom, as an “independent” candidate Democrats could possibly back. This week “Inside Track” learned that Shumlin has also been quietly floating the name of Progressive Anthony Pollina as a gubernatorial candidate Vermont’s Left could unite around. Progressive State Rep. David Zuckerman of Burlington told yours truly that Shumlin first broached the subject of a Pollina nomination last April. “He came up to me at an event in Montpelier,” said Zuckerman, “and said we’ve really got to talk about how we’re going to get rid of Jim Douglas, and I think Anthony Pollina should really consider running.” Dave the Prog, chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, said Shummy told him he would “be willing to talk to other Democrats about getting behind Anthony if we don’t have someone else.” Zuckerman said he found the leading Democrat’s pitch “mildly surprising.” After all, there’s been some bad blood between Democrats and Progressives — “remnants from the past,” is how he phrased it. But, said Farmer Dave, Peter from Putney suggested that if the Dems and the Progs “talk together and get over some of that stuff, he could put that behind him and they could move the state forward.” Jim Douglas, are you listening? Rep. Zuckerman said Sen. Shumlin also called him a couple months later. Shumlin “was still interested but didn’t want to be public about it, since he’d been doing so much public work about getting Vince [Illuzzi] to run. Shumlin was calculating and trying to figure out who the best candidate to beat Jim Douglas would be.” Certainly Pollina has been sounding like a candidate of late, giving fiery “Bernie Sanders-style” speeches around the state. “Jim Douglas is always telling us what we can’t do, whether it is about health-care reform, energy efficiency or economic development,” Pollina told the Vermont Labor Council last weekend. “I want Vermonters to start talking about what we can do. The governor should be Vermont’s leading cheerleader, but Douglas is always

saying something negative about the future of our state,” said Pollina. Shumlin could not be reached for comment. He did not respond to voice messages left on Tuesday. But Lindol Atkins, president of the Vermont Labor Council, told yours truly on Tuesday the issue of a Douglas opponent did come up at their annual meeting in Killington on Saturday. The state AFL/CIO, said Atkins, “appointed a committee” to sit down with the Democratic State Committee and 2x5-Leunigs091207.indd 1 discuss a Douglas challenger. “We keep hearing they have a viable candidate,” said Atkins, “but we want to know who the hell they’re talking about.” Atkins denied rumors the state labor council had taken any action whatsoever Bison Chili...$8 on a resolution supporting Tony the Prog’s From Apple Ridge Farm candidacy.

What a guy, eh? Question: How can it be allowed to continue? Answer: The fact is that in the Senate, the Democrats need 60 votes to halt a GOP filibuster that would block a vote calling for serious withdrawal by certain dates. Right now, the 51 Democrat senators (including Independents Sanders and Joe Lieberman of Connecticut) can only get two or three Republicans to defect and cast antiwar votes. There surely is a point down the road where enough Republican senators will wake up, smell the coffee, and realize their continued pro-war stance will have a personal political price. Unfortunately, we’re not there yet. The fact is, the Iraq war remains a touchy subject. The big antiwar protest march in Washington on Saturday got scant news coverage. Hey, Saturdays are for college football, right? It was clear that Bernie and the vets had agreed beforehand not to get into a public discussion of current Iraq war policy in front of the cameras. All anyone on the panel wanted to talk about was what a great job Sanders and Congress had done in thumbing their collective noses at the White House for shortchanging veterans in the proposed budget. Ed Laviletta of Highgate, Vermont’s national legislative officer for the Veterans of Foreign Wars, said they were “not talking about our current war per se. We’re talking about the wounded and the people that need it and the people from previous wars that need to be taken care of. This is what we’re praising Bernie for. Nothing else. “Our delegation from Vermont is top-drawer when it comes to these issues,” said Laviletta. “We don’t look to the right or the left of it. We’re looking right down the center to veterans’ issues and nothing else.” “That’s what we’re talking about today,” confirmed Sanders, “and I’m very proud of the work the committee has done.” Afterwards, out in the hallway, one of the veterans’ group leaders, a Vietnam-era vet, said he’d had gone back and forth on whether the Iraq war was the right thing to do. Despite the presidential lies that got us into it in the first place, at the moment he said he felt that supporting the current Bush budget request to keep our troops in Iraq and the war going was “the right thing to do.” That probably explains why the senator did not want to get into questions about Iraq war policy. But last week, when Gen. David Petraeus, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, made the Bush administration’s continued war-funding pitch on Capitol Hill, who did the British Broadcasting Corporation turn to in the U.S. Senate for a reaction?

Bernie Sanders of Vermont, that’s who! “This war has been a disaster from Day One,” Ol’ Bernardo told the BBC’s Katty Kay. “It is a disaster today.” Sanders made no bones about it, telling the Brits that the United States “has got to bring our troops home as soon as possible. We need a whole new approach to combating international terrorism. While we are bogged down in Iraq spending billions and billions of dollars, Osama bin Laden remains free. Al-Qaeda is growing in strength. The Afghanistan situation is deteriorating. Pakistan is deteriorating. Al-Qaeda is growing all over the world. It was Al-Qaeda that attacked the United States of America. We have got to address that and get out of Iraq as soon as possible.” Certainly most Vermonters — most Americans — agree with him, eh? But Sanders wasn’t going to go there at Monday’s presser, and his reluctance to do so was a reminder of the 1960s when the White Houses of Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon and the Military Industrial Complex they represented, equated “support for our troops” with “support for the war.” Not! True support for our troops means not sending them to fight and die for a lie, doesn’t it? As the classic tune “Where Have All the Flowers Gone” asks: “When will we ever learn?”

moving people to and from the airport . We got a lot of traction and a lot of work was done.” Salmon the Seabee told us he “had always been interested in the military, but I had a knee injury from high-school football, didn’t think I could get in.” But the Navy had a special program for older folks, and in 2000, just before his 37th birthday, he gave it a shot. “I passed the physical and got sent off to the Seabees,” said the Vermont State Auditor, “and I didn’t know what the Seabees were!” Live and learn, eh? He soon found out the Seabees are “the dirt-sailor division — the construction battalion.” Salmon informed us, “There’s a lot of pride around the Seabees since World War II, and the attitude is can-do. No matter what tools you have, you get it done.” What — didn’t the son of a governor sign up to be an officer? “In reality,” Salmon told us, “I was too old for the officer program, but I wanted to serve anyhow. It’s been a great experience.” Salmon’s name also came up at last Thursday’s Obama for President rally/fundraiser in Burlington. Endorsing Obama were Attorney General Bill Sorrell, State Treasurer Jeb Spaulding and former Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle. Salmon could not attend, but his statement was read to a cheering audience. Salmon told yours truly he thinks Obama is “a catalyst.” He said the Illinois senator “is unafraid of addressing problems in the United States. One of the problems politicians have is, they like to address apparent problems and not drill down to real problems,” said Young Tom. “So I like him for that reason. I think we’re ripe for a change. We need renewal and, from reading his book and watching him operate, I know he has full commitment.” But what’s wrong with Hillary Clinton? “Not the right person for the job,” he replied. “It would be wrong person, wrong job.” When we mentioned his name is often mentioned as a future governor, Salmon quickly deflected the question, saying he’s focused on the annual state audit. But what does our Democratic Auditor think of Democrats, Progressives and Independents getting behind an Anthony Pollina gubernatorial bid? “Oh, yeah, I see that as a possibility,” said Young Tom. Tony the Prog would be “running in the same vein as Bernie,” said Salmon. Meanwhile, State Party Chair Ian Carleton insists the Democrats will absolutely, positively have a gubernatorial candidate to take on Jimbo. Maybe it’ll be Carleton himself? Just kidding. �

Democrats’ Future? — Looking beyond 2008, one name that regularly pops up in Democrat circles as a future something-or-other is that of our current freshman State Auditor Thomas M. Salmon. After all, it’s in his genes! The 44-year-old rookie from beautiful Bellows Falls is the son of Thomas P. Salmon, Democratic governor of Vermont in the 1970s and president of the University of Vermont in the 1990s. Young Tom has also been getting good reviews for his work as auditor. Smart guy. Rubs a lot of people the right way, is what we hear. And this week yours truly learned something about Young Tom we did not know: He’s a member of the U.S. Navy Reserve serving as a builder second-class, in the Seabees. He signed up back in 2000. In fact, Salmon just returned from two weeks on the U.S.-Mexican border, helping to install a 15-foot wall to keep out the bad guys smuggling drugs and other things into America. “It was like any good mission,” said Young Tom. “The military is very uncomplicated. They call, you go. You do what they say. Stay on mission and you come home.” This mission involved “14hour days pouring concrete.” He Read “Freyne Land,” Peter’s blog online at sevendaysvt.com. also “cut some steel and drove To reach Peter Freyne, email the commercial bus a little bit freyne@sevendaysvt.com.

IDIOTS RULE What a nice ruling in regards to the right to pull over motorists for no reason [“VT Supreme Court Says Police Can Stop Drivers Who Are Not Breaking Law,” August 22]. Just beware of driving after using Listerine first thing in the morning. You might not get fined, but you may be reprimanded (or even fired) by your employer after you show up to work late because you were pulled over. At least it will help increase police officers’ daily quotas and take their attention off less pressing matters, like drug use, vandalism, robberies, etc. So let’s all clap hands like idiots while every ruling body in this nation whittles away our rights one by one until we finally become the fascist dictatorship that the founding fathers fought so hard against (even though they were all racist, elitist, sexist hypocrites). It’s not that I really care about this one particular issue — it’s just another example of what I see happening all the time — but the fact that it happened in good ole Vermont makes it that much worse! Pratt obviously wasn’t drunk if he wasn’t swerving around or driving recklessly. First it’s Pratt; next it’s your son or daughter. Drinking a few at a show and then driving home is par for the course. If one is responsible, there will be no harm. And for every driver pulled over after a concert just for the hell of it, there’s probably a few that drive right past who are drunk as a skunk. So let’s set our priorities on the reckless, swerving drivers and not focus on maybes. I believe that’s what checkpoints are for. Dave Gordon BURLINGTON

ALCOHOL EDUCATION When you’re a mom, going against the efforts of MADD feels wrong. However, I found myself cheering the former president of Middlebury College and his risky stance on lowering the legal drinking age [“All Stirred Up,” August 22]. Underage drinking is a very serious issue to parents, school administrators and communities, but the current system is continually failing us. I have grappled with this topic for years as I attempt to arm my daughter with the knowledge she needs to take with her into the world and return home safely. Our conversations often discuss the chances of her breaking the law. School administrators need the same opportunity for transparency with their students regarding what is really happening on campus. Although the drinking age has changed since I was in college, I do not see fewer students drinking. The difference I see is that students seem better informed than we were. I read a study conducted by Dr. Robert

Foss at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Center in 1997, 1999 and 2002 which found that a large majority of students tested by a breathalyzer (rather than relying on selfreports) demonstrated light to moderate drinking habits. I think we need to continue to better educate adults on how to educate and model better behavior for our children on the effects of alcohol. Tara Arcury SHELBURNE

FOSSIL FOOLS As a seasoned skateboarder, runner and cyclist in this town, I am compelled to respond to Rick Edmonds’ letter “Close Call” [August 15]. His letter is yet another rant by a driver who feels entitled to the entire span and scope of the road. Drivers with this attitude are inconvenienced when their maximum speed is compromised by a sustainable form of transportation. I have, on countless occasions, confronted injury at the fault of inattentive drivers. My demise has nearly been spelled out by drivers who refuse to come to a complete stop when making a right turn. Anyone who bikes or skates in traffic has been heckled by a hassled driver who loses seconds in sharing the road. Those entangled in the web of car culture need to become aware that we boarders, bikers and runners are always on hyper alert. We know, without question, that we cannot rely on the distracted driver to recognize us as “equals.” I encourage Mr. Edmonds and all other disgruntled fossil-fool addicts to park your Hummers and experience the streets of Burlington at a more human pace. Doing so would benefit the health of all in our community. Noel Bumpas BURLINGTON

GRINDING GOOF Thanks for the article [“Laid to Rust,” September 5]. Those who were in Burlington when the EPA made their first proposal for the Pine Street Barge Canal will have some understanding of how outrageous their “clean-up” plans can be. While you folks were able to scale back the giant sarcophagus they had proposed, here in Strafford we have not been so fortunate. We are getting a large cleanup project, as well as unintended degradation to the very river they were suppose to be improving. Two minor corrections: I had suggested gridding or sectioning off — not “grinding” off — the waste piles in order to try different experimental remediation techniques. Second: My “old Ford pick-up truck” mentioned in the article ain’t that old. Hell, I am still making payments on it. John Freitag SOUTH STRAFFORD

Editor’s Note: Freitag is an environmental activist who has opposed the Elizabeth Mine Super Fund cleanup effort. A correction about the grinding-gridding mixup was printed in last week’s issue.

I still have a big-ass voice.” Local fans can rejoice, because — hallelujah — the singer and her band are reuniting. And, yes, it’s for another benefit show. Tammy Fletcher & the Disciples perform this Friday, September 21, at the Unitarian Church in Burlington for Volunteer Vermont. The charity group formed 10 years ago, led by Rev. Mark Bolles — then pastor of the Charlotte Congregational Church — after he and some of his congregation traveled to Summerton, South

Once upon a time, Tammy Fletcher was the benefit queen, performing 30 or more shows a year for local nonprofits with her gospeltinged r&b outfit, The Disciples. But the group “took a break” a few years back, and Fletcher has been keeping a relatively low profile near her home in Eden with husband Joe DiLiberto and son Dakota Foley. That is, if you can call starting another band, taking on a new job as a paraeducator in Eden Central’s third grade, and becoming a diabetes

activist “low-profile.” One thing’s for sure: Part of Fletcher disappeared from sight forever. The formerly full-figured diva has lost 140 pounds, and gained a more positive, philosophical attitude. “I’m just trying to change my life and be healthy — I became a diabetic,” she reveals. “It’s an emotional rollercoaster, the way you have to eat and think about food, to maintain a fitness program, be a wife, a mother, a teacher and a foster parent — I have a young man with Asberger’s syndrome . . . Unfortunately, my music has taken a back seat in all that, trying to make a living and keep insurance,” Fletcher adds. “The state of Vermont is not very accommodating in that respect.” Nobody said she was less outspoken than before. Or less sassy: “I’m half the woman I used to be, but I’m still a ton of fun,” Fletcher assures. “And

Carolina, to help rebuild black churches that had been burned in arson fires. The two communities have continued their relationship, with the Vermonters making an annual trip south to work on various projects. In gratitude, Summerton is sending the Prayer House Mission Gospel Choir to Burlington for Friday’s concert. Fletcher says she’ll perform first with the Disciples, followed by “the real gospel singers.” Then, in what will surely be a rafter-shaking finale, the Vermont musicians — Fletcher, guitarist Bob Hill, bassist Stacey Starkweather, drummer Simon Plumpton and pedal steel player Jim Pitman — will join the choir. For her part, Fletcher is delighted to participate in the benefit. “I just believe that one has to give to get,” she says, adding, “I know there’s a reason why I am where I am . . . I love to sing,

and I love to bring joy to people.” Though Disciples gigs may be few and far between, Fletcher, now 48, is spreading the joy with a new band called Mountain Girl, with her son — on mandolin — and longtime cohorts Hill and Starkweather. She’s also working on a more personal project: an album “about things that have affected me in my life,” Fletcher says. That includes the death of her mother almost a year ago. “That was a turning point for me,” she confides. The album, slated for release next year, will feature “a whole host of guys,” Fletcher says, including former Disciples as well as Vermont folk legend Pete Sutherland and pianist/producer Chuck Eller. “They’re all folks I really admire and think are terrific,” she notes. “The music is a little bit different than what people are used to me doing, but still soulful, with tongue-in-cheek humor. “The older I get, the more creative and uninhibited I will become,” Fletcher vows. “I think we’ve come to a place in our society where the powers are confused, and so are the people . . . We’re looking for leaders that are sensible, and that we can believe in and trust.

New Burlington Play Generates a Publicity Machine BY PAMELA POLSTON

Word-of-mouth is potent advertising for everyone from plumbers to playwrights. James Lantz happens to be one of the latter — his latest work, American Machine, opens next Tuesday at the Flynn Space. But Lantz is not relying on the old-fashioned, no-tech kind of word spreading. In what may be a first-of-its-kind marketing approach — at least ’round these parts — the Burlington writer has

That’s not all. Lantz has planned a special “Bloggers Night� — September 27 — when “we’re going to invite about 20 of Burlington’s bloggers to this show gratis,� says a recent post. “The only thing that we ask in return is that our bloggers do what they do best: blog about what they saw.� The playwright, whose previous work was last year’s The Bus, is careful to note that the bloggers

comes close to matching the hype — never mind the carefully built set, exhaustive cast selection and rigorous rehearsals — American Machine should be a hit. What’s it about? The “part parable, part cautionary tale� addresses the disintegration of the American dream through the lives of six factory workers, whose job building cars has devolved into one making buckets and mops for Wal-Mart.

In what may be a first-of-its-kind marketing approach, the Burlington writer has been covering his electronic bases. been covering his electronic bases. Besides the play’s website, Lantz maintains an American Machine blog and e-newletter. The Flynn — which co-commissioned the work — follows the play’s progress on its blog. Neighbors and friends around Burlington are posting notices in support of the play on their Front Porch Forums (in part because opening night is a benefit for the Burlington Schools Food Project). And FPF founder Michael Wood-Lewis touts the play on his blog, called Ghost of Midnight, where Lantz reciprocates with a rave about Front Porch Forum.

Lost Nation Takes on a Play with a Past, and a Present

2x2-AffectionatelyCats080807.ind1 1

8ZaZWgViZ ;Vaa

BY ELISABETH CREAN

How does a notorious party boy with a drinking problem, son of his country’s ruler, overcome his dissolute past and rise to the challenge of leading a nation in wartime? Not very well, in contemporary America, it seems. But in Shakespeare’s Henry V, the playwright paints a different picture of how a forceful and effective leader can emerge after an unpromising start. Lost Nation Theater’s production of the classic opens in Montpelier this week. Shakespeare drew his inspiration from historical chronicles of the real medieval English king’s travails and triumphs. The wayward, womanizing Prince Hal, seen in the Henry IV plays, straightens up once the crown is on his head. Threats to his sovereignty and to England’s safety surround him, from the French across the English Channel, conspiring nobles at home and pesky Scots and restive Irish on either side. Henry V focuses on a climactic turning point in the grueling Hundred Years’ War with France, the Battle of Agincourt (1415). The king’s mission is accomplished, but he remains acutely aware of the human cost. Sally Wood, who is co-directing with LNT Artistic Director Kim Bent, contradicts the common characterization of Henry V as a pro-war play. “It’s more a pro-good-leadership play,� she says. Both she and actor Paul Molnar, who stars as Henry,

emphasize how the young monarch comes of age during the play. “He’s got a lot to prove,� Wood reflects. In the earlier plays, “He’s a complete punk-ass kid — fighting with his father, drinking with Falstaff, sleeping around.� When he first takes power, his advisors “don’t trust him as far as they can throw him,� she says. And yet, he listens carefully to their counsel, Molnar notes. “He’s reluctant to go to war at the beginning, and he asks all the right questions.� Henry goes into battle only once he secures the essential justifications of the day: hereditary right and church approval. Both Wood and Molnar agree about the heightened intensity of putting on a war-themed play during a controversial current conflict. “It’s our responsibility,� says Molnar, “to think about those issues . . . There are human conditions that exist in this play that are also relevant now, and those are the themes that I think we have to explore.� For Wood, the modern context makes it “even more important now to focus on the man . . . Different from our leaders today, Henry is the first guy out on the field.� This is what makes Henry a hero, Molnar believes. “He doesn’t just send his troops off and say, ‘Go win this war for me. Go get the land and the title and the money.’ He is the first one across the line . . . Of course, it’s unheard of now. But there’s something to

that — that it’s not just mouth honor. He commits fully his soul and body to what he believes.� Wood and Molnar welcome the audience to see Shakespeare’s characters and ideas through a 21st-century lens. “That’s the hope,� Wood states enthusiastically. “What you don’t want . . . is distance. You want to see something that you recognize in these guys. And hopefully, after the show, you’re having a beer and you can say, ‘Man, can you imagine if we had Henry here?’� > Henry V, directed by Sally Wood and Kim Bent, produced by Lost Nation Theater.

Curses, Foiled Again A man with

a shotgun entered a convenience store in Albany, N.Y., and set the gun down on the counter so he could use both hands to stuff money from the register into his pockets. A surveillance video shows clerk Hafiz Alam grabbing the unattended weapon and pointing it at the man, who fled. The man returned seconds later and struggled with Alam for the gun. It fired, but neither man was hurt. The robber drove off, but a witness wrote down his license number, which led police to Justin Walker, 22.

Fair or Foul? Army Lt. Col. Bryan Hilferty was umpiring his 8-year-old son’s Little League baseball game in Alexandria, Va., when a disputed call

Odd, strange, curiOus and weird but true

news quirks made him realize he needed to read the rulebook. After failing to find a copy at sporting-goods stores or on the league’s website, he called a local league official, who, The Washington Post reported, told Hilferty that, in order to prevent lawsuits, the league no longer makes its rules available to just anyone. Hilferty contacted the national Little League office, which wasn’t impressed when Hilferty pointed out that he has a secret clearance and works at the Pentagon. “We don’t give preferential treatment,” representative Lance Van Auken said. “Everybody has to abide by the same rules.” Chronicling other instances of Little League’s penchant for secrecy, the Post pointed out that the first Little Leaguer to become president is George W. Bush.

Rollover Minutes Zachariah Smith, 18, was sending a text message on his cell phone while crossing railroad tracks when a train struck him, hurling him about 50 feet. He was hospitalized in serious condition. “The horn was blowing like mad, and the kid was text messaging,” said Mayor Richard Ellison of Elmwood Place, Ohio, where the accident occurred. “The kid apparently was just daydreaming.” Cure-All of the Week Encouraging people to smoke marijuana will ensure a calmer atmosphere for next year’s Democratic National Convention, according to some Denver residents. “Tens of thousands of people are going to come here to protest and

By RolAnd SWEET rally,” said Mason Tvert, executive director of Citizens for a Safer Denver, which is behind a ballot proposal requiring lax enforcement of the city’s pot-possession laws. “If we allow alcohol use to be at the center, we’re asking for trouble. But if we allow protesters to use marijuana, then maybe they’ll be less inclined to use alcohol and cause problems.” • Gregor Spalding, 30, admitted growing marijuana at his home in Blairgowrie, Scotland, but a court showed him leniency after he explained that he had intended to use the drug to relieve pain caused by constant itching around his genitals. Spalding said prescription medicine had failed to stop the pain of pruritus, so he decided to grow marijuana after read-

ing about it on the Internet. His doctor confirmed his condition.

Mounting Evidence Florida

authorities charged Walter Duque, 22, with illegally stockpiling 20,000 cubic yards of horse manure — enough to fill 1000 dump trucks — in piles up to 15 feet high on his five-acre ranch in Loxahatchee Groves. Investigators from the state Department of Environmental Protection were tipped off after neighbors complained about the growing piles and the odor, although the complaints began in 2002, five years before Duque’s arrest.

Better Than ToMacco Hong Kong-based Golden Dragon Group asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to approve its battery-powered cigarette, which the company said is a substitute for smoking, not an aid to quitting. It delivers nicotine without the smell or the carcinogens associated with smoking. The electronic nicotine-delivery device, known as Ruyan (meaning “like smoking”), is an atomizer, costing $208, that uses cartridges containing pure nicotine, each costing about $4 and good for some 350 puffs. Inhaling turns the nicotine into smoke-like vapor, according to Scott Fraser, vice president of Golden Dragon subsidiary SBT, which developed the Ruyan. Handicapable After a Florida court

sentenced him to five years in prison for felony driving and other charges, Michael Francis Wiley, 40, who has already spent three years in prison for habitually driving without a license, told the Associated Press he is through driv-

ing. Wiley taught himself to drive after losing both arms and a leg in an electrical accident when he was 13. He starts the car with his toes, turns on the lights with his teeth, shifts with his knees and steers with the stump of his left arm.

Slightest Provocation A Home Depot store manager in Seattle told police that a man at a self-service checkout stand trying to buy a pry bar and hacksaw inadvertently hit the button for Spanish on the computer screen. According to the police report, the man “became frustrated that the machine was speaking Spanish” and bashed the computer with the pry bar, shattering it. He ran from the store, leaving the pry bar in his shopping cart. Tiles of Trouble Mah jongg can

cause epilepsy, according to Hong Kong doctors who found 23 cases of people who had suffered mah jongg-induced seizures while playing the fast-paced Chinese tile game. Even watching it can trigger seizures. The doctors, whose findings appeared in the Hong Kong Medical Journal, concluded that the distinctive design of the mah jongg tiles and the sound they make crashing onto the table during play may contribute to the syndrome. The article said the only cure is to avoid playing.

“Joe, toilet water for everyone! The bitch said ‘yes’! ”

the straight dope

by CECIL ADAMS

all worthwhile human knowledge

Dear Cecil, Major plot points in two somewhat recent movies have involved the evacuation of a town due to it being intentionally flooded by a new dam. Has this ever happened in real life? Are there submerged towns scattered about this great land containing untold riches, ripe for harvest? Mattyj, via email Has this ever happened? You’re kidding, right? There’s roughly 1.5 million people from central China who can answer that one, although some are probably still pretty busy house-hunting. After about 12 years of work, the Three Gorges Dam (largest in the world? ring a bell, Matty?) on the Yangtze River was declared structurally complete last May; by the time the reservoir fills up, about 1000 former towns will be underwater. (A couple of extremely endangered species may be wiped out as well, but that’s another column.) For about as long as the need and the technology have existed to create reservoirs, authorities have been acquiring inhabited land and submerging it. And yes, this is longstanding practice in the U.S., too, if that’s the great land you mean. When New York City started running low on clean water in the early 1800s, for instance, the answer was to build the Croton Dam, which meant flooding hundreds of acres where people were living and working. A few decades later the reservoir needed an upgrade; this time four towns and 400 farms were condemned to make way, and as a bonus six cemeteries’ worth of bodies had to be dug up and reburied. The same kind of thing happened all over: The former towns of Conowingo, Maryland, and Kensico, New York, now lie beneath reservoirs that share their names; what was once Oasis, Missouri, sits at the bottom of Table Rock Lake, and Shasta Lake contains what’s left of Kennett, California. The inundation process is usually fairly gradual once the dam’s in place — depending on geography it can take years or even decades for a doomed town to disappear entirely. Unsurprisingly, the sunken treasure to be salvaged from such towns consists largely of mud-covered masonry and the occasional shard of Fiestaware, as those getting displaced by a new dam usually remember to pack their doubloons and gemstones. There are exceptions, of course; in any event divers like to explore the underwater ruins for fun if not always profit. A guy I knew who regularly dove in Midwestern reservoirs reported seeing abandoned cars, concrete stairs to nowhere and, once, the intact kitchen counter of a mostly decayed house, still

equipped with ancient utensils and appliances; his most prized find was a brass plaque recovered from a cast-iron stove. All pretty cool, but not the sort of thing to put dollar signs in the eyes. In some cases, though, dams do jeopardize items of broader significance. The textbook example is the Aswan High Dam in Egypt, which in the early ’60s threatened ancient ruins in the Upper Nile Valley. With waters already rising, a multinational effort helped dismantle nearly two dozen monuments and move them to higher ground; in gratitude Egypt gave a few to countries that pitched in, which is how the 2000-year-old Temple of Dendur wound up at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Archaeologists in Sudan are now scrambling to unearth barely explored Kushite settlements before a new Nile reservoir, near the city of Merowe, covers the area (it’ll displace about 50,000 people, too), while last month in Turkey the fight continued over the now-completed Yortanli Dam, which stands to flood the Roman and Byzantine ruins at Allianoi. Though valley dwellers around the world can’t be thrilled about it, further hydropower development will definitely stay on the agenda, as we pursue energy sources that don’t require dumping CO2 into the atmosphere. According to the International Energy Agency, water power now accounts for 16 percent of the world’s electrical generation — a figure that could theoretically be tripled. While Europe and the U.S. are using roughly three-quarters of their potential hydropower, Asia has exploited only about 25 percent, and Africa is at just 7 percent, meaning a lot more habitation is bound to get wet. Not all the lost towns stay lost, though. The old French village of Tignes — flooded by a major hydroelectric project in 1952 despite violent protests and sabotage — reappears whenever the reservoir is drained for dam maintenance. Earlier this decade low snowfall in Washington State caused the town of Kosmos, underwater since 1968, to reemerge from Riffe Lake, revealing roads, railroad tracks, and building foundations. And in the last year severe drought in New South Wales, Australia, has left the town of Old Adaminaby (submerged 1957) sitting in the dried bed of Lake Eucumbene, its remains exposed to looters and souvenir hunters. As reported by ABC Canberra News, the old-timers say it’s quite something to see: there’s Six Mile Bridge, gone 50 years but risen again from the muck, with the Eucumbene River flowing underneath, just like it used to.

ey, man, could you pick me up at the sandwich shop? I need to get out to River Road.” It was Chase on the line, a regular customer for about a year now. Throughout the spring and summer, he’d been painting houses with a contractor friend, but that work was drying up as fall approached. Wanting something steady to get him through the winter, he’d recently taken a job managing a chain of local delis. Chase was waiting for me at the curb as I pulled up to the store. We’d never talked much of his past, but he’s clearly post-college age — maybe as old as 30. His hair is brown and wavy, brushed back behind his ears, and his facial features are strong. Everything about the guy suggests forthrightness, including his simple attire, which looks clean even after a hard day on the job. As he climbed into the shotgun seat, I noticed Chase was carrying a small brown bag. It smelled like dinner. “Ya got a sub in there?” I asked. “Are you kidding? I can’t even look at the fuckin’ things anymore. This stuff is from that cool Thai place next door.”

it’s tough for me now on this fast-food salary. i’m really something of a shopaholic, if you want to know the truth. “cHase”

“So, I see you’re still crashing at your friend’s place out in Essex.” “Yeah, just another couple weeks, though. I found a great sublet in the South End.” We sliced through the UVM campus, which was flooded with newly returned students. I always enjoy my conversations with Chase. He’s knowledgeable about the world — not from books, but from living. He projects an air of competence that makes me wonder why he hasn’t pursued a professional career. Chase is the type of guy I’d have sought out as a friend when I was young. Back then I was attracted to people who appeared solid and together, perhaps because I was so all over the map myself. Some things don’t change much, I thought, steering around a jaywalking collegian. We spun around the cloverleaf, drove from Exit 14 to 15, and merged onto Route 15. Chase said, “Hey, Jernigan, I’m real sorry, but I don’t think I can tip you for this fare. They still got me technically in this ‘training period,’ so the pay sucks. I’ll take care of you next week, though. Is that cool?” “No problem whatsoever, man. Don’t worry about it.” When Chase had the dough, he always tipped me large — my kind of customer. “This summer you were raking it in, though, weren’t you?” I asked.

2x3-chapinorchard091207.indd 1 “Oh, man — I was making mad money. Remember that one Friday I told you about, when Paul and I really pushed it and I took home, like, $900 for the day? I don’t even know what the fuck Paul made that day. Jeeeez.” Chase paused for a moment, contemplating the fat days of summer, then added, “It’s tough for me now on this fast-food salary. I’m really something of a shopaholic, if you want to know the truth.” I thought of the times I’d picked him up at Radio Shack or some sneaker store, his arms loaded with merchandise. “Yeah,” I said with a laugh, “I can see that.” “The problem is,” Chase continued, “when it comes to money, my frame of reference is totally distorted from my years dealing the chronic.” This was something I’d not heard before. I suppose, after riding around with me for a year, I’d gained a level of trust in his eyes. “Now, by ‘chronic,’ you’re referring to marijuana, right?” “Yeah, that’s it. In my early twenties, me and a friend were probably moving about 300 pounds a month. We had this Montréal supplier who would deliver the stuff to a Newport drop-off. The jack was sick. Towards the end I had, like, five or six separate bank accounts, each one 2x5-kfasALMARTIN091907.indd 1 with just over $9000. You don’t want to Join the Co-op! go over 10, because that’s when the IRS checks on things.” “How’d you get the pot over the border?” I asked. “That’s a lot of product.” “We were careful. My partner and I would spend, like, days preparing at the border section, wrecking the motion detectors and whatnot.” “What made you get out of it?” “The Canadians were busted, and copped a plea where they ratted out the entire supply chain. My partner ended up doing some time. To this day, I’m not exactly sure why they nailed him and not me. Maybe because he was the one who mostly dealt with the Montréal guys. Anyhow, I figure I must have escaped by, like, the skin of my teeth.” We arrived at his temporary digs in Essex, and Chase paid the fare. Before getting out he said, “You know, I rarely tell anyone about my past because they think I’m totally bullshitting. But why would I make this shit up? To impress chicks or something? Like, how lame is that? At this point in my life, I’m kind of ashamed of it, to tell you the truth.” “Well, I believe you, Chase,” I said, looking right into his eyes. “It’s great you got out of that world — it’s fool’s gold, man. I truly believe it. The karma eventually catches up with you.” Chase smiled and chuckled. “Sure don’t need any more of that bad karma,” he agreed. >

A NAME JOB LOCATION IMAGE Matthew Thorsen

s an audience member at the Flynn, you’ve probably paid no attention to that man behind the curtain — Gary Lemieux, longtime production manager for Burlington’s performing arts center. Since 1984, he’s supervised just about everything that happens backstage, from the complicated set changes of a Broadway show to the lighting and sound for student matinees. Gary Lemieux Now 60, Lemieux has helped Production Director, Flynn Center for the Flynn become more technologthe Performing Arts ically sophisticated, and aided in Burlington the theater’s acquisition of a $110,000 Steinway. The Burlington resident doesn’t just push the right switches — he also pushes paper: Lemieux analyzes budgets, works with unions, and manages payroll for the 50some crewmembers who put together the shows. On a quiet Saturday morning at the Flynn, Seven Days turned the spotlight on Lemieux. SEVEN DAYS: What were you doing before you came to the Flynn? GARY LEMIEUX: I was in the business, touring, doing production work. I worked as a roadie and came back here in ’84, and the Flynn was just starting up full-time. Later, I went back on the road, but came back on in ’92 and have been here ever since. SD: Did you always know you wanted to be involved in the theater? GL: I’m a master electrician by trade. So I actually got into the entertainment business while I was working at UVM. I met two students who were in the theater department . . . we hit it off and they sparked an interest in the theater, which I had really not been terribly interested in. We formed a lighting company, and that was the beginning. SD: What was it that sparked your interest? GL: Just live performance. You gotta have a love for it. It’s the kind of business — you’re never going to be rich, but there’s enough reward. My job is multifaceted. I have to please the audience. I have to please the artist. I have to please the administration. We do more events on an annual basis than you’d find in major the-

ater complexes all over the country. We have a very, very busy season as a regional theater. It would be a much less interesting community if it didn’t have this theater. SD: What were some of the groups you worked with on the road? GL: Oh, let me see. Melissa Manchester. Todd Rundgren. REO Speedwagon, Johnny Cash. That was a Canadian-American tour up in the Great Lakes. SD: Who was your favorite to work with? GL: Touring? It’s hard to say. I did a summer tour of state fairs with Charlie Daniels in ’79 or ’80. Country-rock — they appreciate their people, their crew. They don’t pay as well, but it’s less snooty; it doesn’t come with all the expectations you have when you’re out touring with REO Speedwagon. But I enjoyed Todd [Rundgren], too. We probably had the first laser ever to tour in the United States. SD: What about your favorites here at the Flynn? GL: Mandy Patinkin — that was a marvelous show. He singularly was one of the largest shows that we’ve ever mounted here at this building for one person. But there have been

so many artists in and out . . . it’s hard to pick a favorite. My dad, rest his soul, was a huge Johnny Cash fan, and I had the opportunity to bring him down and have him spend some time with Johnny Cash. That was a huge moment. SD: Wow. GL: Yeah. But some of the most exciting things happened early on. Probably to seal my love for the challenge of the theater was [this]: We did Maurice Béjart’s Ballet of the 20th Century, which was 100-plus dancers, when we were an infant here. [Primarily a movie house since its construction in 1930, the Flynn became a center for live productions in 1981.] There used to be a pin rail, like you’d find on a sailing ship, and it was all ropes and sandbags. Originally the Flynn was going to be a vaudeville house, and then talkies came out, so they didn’t develop much; there was just a place to hang a screen. In order to get from one side of the stage to another, you had to run down a spiral staircase, go across dirt floor, pallets and boards, and run up a spiral staircase on the other side. SD: What are your hours? GL: The worst-case scenario is, I would be here at 7 a.m. and then be here through the load-out and get out of here at 2:30 or 3 a.m., and then be back at 7 a.m. the next day. That’ll happen five or six times this season. SD: What’s the most complicated show you’ve done? GL: From a standpoint of rigging and the layers, I’d say shows like Rent, The Full Monty. Everything flies, and there are heavy mechanical pieces. SD: What’s it like to be back here during a big show? GL: It’s such a mixture of emotions. Knowing that, ultimately, I am where

the buck stops. I’m responsible. I take that very seriously. It’s thrilling. You’d like to sit back and take it all in, what you put together. There’s anxiety. SD: How many shows have you seen from the front? GL: Relatively few. I don’t believe that I’ve sat in a seat for an entire show since I’ve been here. SD: What show would you want to see? GL: Well, we had James Taylor, and I got to spend several days with him. That would be the type of show. I may sit in the audience for Arlo Guthrie. But this is where I feel more comfortable. I’ve been in this business for well over 30 years, and I’m not a big crowd guy. I’m a control freak. You have to be, in this business. SD: What do you do in your off time, to relax? GL: I ski; I hunt. I four-wheel. And in the summer, I have my own business I do part-time, a company called Encore Productions. Diversity. Moonlight in Vermont. [Laughs.] I do outdoor festivals, and electrical installations at the auditorium when it works out with my schedule here. Waterfront Park — I do all those events for the city. Jazz Fest, Brewers Fest, Maritime Festival, whatever. SD: Do you have any sort of apprentice? You’ll have some pretty big shoes to fill, eventually. GL: There are some individuals. It takes a certain personality. Obviously you have to understand all the elements — electrics, carpentry, sound, basic stagecraft. That’s a given. But you also have to understand the personalities involved and be a people person. And you’re never not working. This job is 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That would be the biggest relief if I stepped down. m

Heartbreak Kid

Neil Cleary returns to Burlington to celebrate the release of I Was Thinking of You the Whole Time this Thursday, September 20, at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge, with support from local rockers The Jazz Guys and old friends Activists/ Dictators.

t’s fun to play the villain,� says Neil Cleary with a wry smile, stirring his Bloody Mary in a secluded booth in the back of a dimly lit Irish bar in Somerville, Massachusetts. “They get all the best lines.� Cleary is as about as mild-mannered and unassuming as they come, so those words might come as a surprise to people who think they know him well. The 35-year-old songwriter has been a working musician for more than 15 years and has built a wellearned reputation as a gifted writer with a knack for earnest, heart-on-sleeve musings — as evidenced by his well-received solo debut, the alt-country-tinged Numbers Add Up. He’s also blessed with a razor-sharp wit, which takes a turn for the devilish on his new album, the pop-rockish I Was Thinking of You the Whole Time. A departure from his earlier work both in style and scope, the record allows Cleary to assume the role of charming rogue and pose a question seldom heard in modern pop songwriting: Just who the hell is the guy breaking hearts in all those sad love songs? The answer might shock you. It’s Neil Cleary. “It’s actually a phrase that was said to me once,� Cleary explains, referring to the provocative title of his latest effort. “At the time, it really didn’t help at all,� he admits. “But I realized that the person who said it really meant it.� Cleary became enamored of the contradiction implicit in that “I was thinking of you� sentiment: There’s a brutal honesty in coming clean about betrayal, yet it’s rooted in deep, heartfelt regret. “I had that phrase in my head for a while,� he says. “I almost tried to write a song with that title, but I couldn’t quite get all the pieces together. I decided I wanted to make it an album.� He pauses before continuing, with a grin, “And I knew I wanted it to be a sleazy album.�

Two heavy influences on Cleary’s new record are Aimee Mann’s Bachelor #2 and Liz Phair’s gender-bending masterpiece Exile in Guyville, in which the songwriter turns convention on its head by assuming the part of the reckless philanderer. “I was very attracted to that,� says Cleary. “She [Phair] talks very openly about hurting and getting hurt and takes the idea of this womanizing posturing and translates it to the woman’s point of view.� He clarifies, “Not that she’s the one doing it so much as she’s sort of parodying it and examining it.� “There are so many songs about heartbreak that, specifically, women have written that I admire,� Cleary says, then adds, “But who is the person on the other side? We never, ever see them, and we certainly never hear from them in a song.� Cleary decided that voice needed to be heard, if only to provide a clearer picture of the full spectrum of romantic heartbreak. The album’s centerpiece, “That Girl’s in Love,� is the first song he wrote from his new perspective of a ruthless Lothario. “She’ll never see it comin’ now / ’cuz no one’s ever let her down. / Well that’s about to change, ’cuz tragically / that girl’s in love with me,� he croons deviously, setting the tone for the entire album. “I typically write pretty earnest stuff, or I at least want to be artful about it in some way� he explains. “But with that song, it was just evil. Not at all like I typically flatter myself to be.� Cleary was as surprised as anyone by the words spilling into that song. But, rather than shy away from his newfound persona, he embraced it. “I just said ‘fuck it’ and finished the song as pessimistically and comically as I could,� he says. It ended up being the cornerstone of an entire concept. “It encouraged me to write more songs like that,� Cleary explains. “Because Numbers Add Up was so earnest and heart-

felt, it became fun to explore hook-ups and letdowns and sort of take on this roguish character who says and does everything that you thought they might.” One of Cleary’s greatest songwriting strengths is his ability to engage listeners by making his subject matter accessible and identifiable, using witty turns of phrase and a boyishly charming delivery. Or, as Toronto Globe & Mail music writer Carl Wilson put it, Cleary has “the mellow tone of James Taylor and the psychological acidity of a young Elvis Costello.” However, when the speakers are miscreants like the ones found on I Was Thinking of You the Whole Time, the singer’s charm could be a double-edged sword. How will the album’s wily duplicity affect fans expecting the bashful sincerity they’ve grown accustomed to in Cleary’s previous work? “I was pretty sure I was going to make a lot of women angry,” Cleary says with a chuckle. “But in fact,” he continues, “I’ve had a handful of women say to me that they’re really glad that I wrote about that, because nobody says it.” He pauses, smirking and stirring his drink, before summing up his album with typical conciseness. “Songs of the super-villain,” he quips, as our eyes wander toward the waitress leaving our table.

Neil Cleary wasn’t always a lady-killing libertine. Actually, it’s not really fair to say he’s one now, either. But how did he go from wide-eyed troubadour to reckless romantic rapscallion who might make even Tom Waits uneasy? Though Cleary was born in New York, he moved to Vermont when he was 3 years old with his exceedingly musical family. (His cousins are Joe and John Cleary, of local bluegrass stalwarts The Cleary Brothers.) Neil discovered his interest in music through his older brother Tom, now a noted local jazz pianist. At the time, the elder Cleary was a “four-track Svengali,” according to his younger brother.

“I used to beg him to let me play on his recordings,” remembers Neil. “All through high school and college he was, like, a basement rock star. And he was inspired by my dad.” Cleary’s father, Bill, was rooted in traditional American songwriting and even penned a few theatrical musicals himself. “He was really a student of songwriting and passed that along to my brother, which eventually trickled down to me,” Neil says. “But I only really started writing when Tom went off to college.” After a brief stint as an undergraduate creative-writing student at the University of Iowa, Cleary returned to Burlington and got his start — like many a local musician before

and since — playing open mikes. “I was in this poetry class and discovered that I had no interest in poetry, but really was into words in songs,” he explains. “I was not cut out to be a poet by any means, but it really got me to thinking about songwriting.” Finding the singer-songwriter gig to be a lonely endeavor, Cleary began seeking out other musicians, eventually collaborating with current Activists/ Dictators co-founder David Kamm to form the experimental rock group Famous Potato. “We’d just get together and make the most aggressive noise you could imagine,” says Cleary. “We’d pretty much just jam and then reassemble those parts into songs. That was really fun and hasn’t been topped in my band experiences.” Cleary followed his stint in Famous Potato with one as the drummer for legendary local rockers The Pants. “That was really more of a straightforward rock songwriting experience,” he says. “But I really responded to

Cleary until the band started to see some degree of legitimate success, and he found himself on the outside looking in. “I just started to care too much,” he explains. “The first time I got offended by a decision I wasn’t included in, I was like, ‘Wait. This is lame.’ I just wanted to be in their band . . . but I’m just the drummer.” He smiles, then goes on, “I’ve seen enough ‘Behind the Music’ episodes to know that the drummer really doesn’t have any direct input with the rest of the band. You’re not a songwriter; you’re not a singer. You’re a drummer, and if you’re happy doing that, do it. Otherwise, shut up.” Cleary’s departure from the band was amicable — they remain friends to this day. His time with The Essex Green engendered connections and collaborations with a number of artists in the collegerock mecca of Atlanta — most notably Bill Doss of Olivia Tremor Control, one of the original three Elephant Six collective projects. Those connections would soon serve him well. In 2004, Cleary left New York

Not that I’m saying I’m, like, getting on in years. But there comes a tipping point when getting a check for $500 every week becomes more appealing than the sporadic $800 check.” While not as lucrative as his hired-gun work, Cleary’s solo career has seen modest gains since his days in New York. He’s been able to travel around the U.S. and to Europe, touring behind his first album. And he’s developed artistically. The thematic continuity of Numbers Add Up was more coincidence than focused intent, he says. “It just kind of happened that all those songs covered similar territory. But Thinking of You is the first time I’ve set out to explore one concept in a single album.” Four years after he embarked on that journey — “I work slowly,” Cleary explains — he glows like a proud father as we examine the finished product. It’s time for the album’s promotional push. “Now, this is when the real work begins,” Cleary says. “I’ve always kind of gotten that back-

One of Cleary’s greatest songwriting strengths is his ability to engage listeners by making his subject matter accessible and identifiable, using witty turns of phrase and a boyishly charming delivery. [singer/guitarist] Tom Lawson’s songs, being a songwriting geek.” By the time Cleary parted ways with The Pants, he’d invested his energies in creating his own music with a project called Stupid Club. But, like so many good local musicians, he became frustrated with the professional limitations of Burlington. Wanderlust set in, leading the songwriter first to Austin, Texas, and then, in 1998 — perhaps predictably — to New York City, the ultimate melting pot for aspiring artists. “I think I was really just looking for a peer group of songwriters, and to some degree I found that in New York,” says Cleary. “But I also wanted the band experience,” he adds, explaining, “It’s really lonely, playing songs on your own.” Cleary started a Hank Williams tribute band, which helped introduce him to a community of musicians and ultimately led to a solo residency at a rough-and-tumble East Village bar called 9C. “9C led to a lot of really great experiences and people in the city,” says Cleary. “But meanwhile, I was touring with a lot of other bands.” For instance, he toured as a drummer for The Essex Green, composed of members from former Burlington alt-rock outfit Guppyboy. The arrangement suited

and set out on an ill-fated solo tour of the Southwest that would have major ramifications for the arc of his career. He was back in Austin when a small creek near the house where he was staying overflowed its banks, flooded the place and destroyed his equipment. Adding insult to injury, his car was towed the following day, depleting his funds and sending him home to Vermont. “I had no intentions of ever returning to Burlington,” Cleary says. But his stay would be brief. Almost immediately, Cleary was contacted by singer-songwriter Erin McKeown, who needed a drummer for an upcoming tour. He accepted and toured the U.S. and UK, along the way appearing with the singer on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien.” He followed that with a stint as Bostonbased songwriter Laura Cortese’s touring drummer, which enabled him to avoid extra-musical employment for two years. Cleary’s work as a touring sideman has afforded him the time to focus on his burgeoning solo career while maintaining a modest income. It’s an arrangement that many solo artists would kill for, but he’s starting to feel the strain of juggling freelance gigs. “It’s great when you’re playing music,” he says of working as a professional musician, “but a lot of times you don’t know where your next check is coming from.

wards . . . I still don’t know who to shop my record around to. I still don’t know any managers.” On I Was Thinking of You the Whole Time, Cleary’s Don Juan anti-hero eventually begins to understand the folly of his womanizing ways. He even sounds repentant by the time he sings, “You never knew / all of the lies I was telling you were true,” on the album’s closer, “You Never Knew.” In real life, Cleary — now living in Boston — has discovered that, for better or worse, the choices he’s made will inform the decisions he makes in the future. His willingness to play second fiddle has certainly aided his own success, but one gets the sense that he can’t help feeling he’s sacrificed some personal artistic aspirations by aiding others in their pursuits. There are certainly parallels between a rake who exploits the trust and naïveté of a romantic conquest and a music-industry exec who takes advantage of an unsuspecting artist. Perhaps that knowledge is what gives Cleary pause as he discusses the next step in his development as a solo artist. “I’ve always been fairly idealistic about it, but I’m only now beginning to understand the professional side of things,” he admits. “It’s knowledge that you pay for.” Don Juan would surely agree. � 2x8-JSC091907.indd 1

it’s showtime! 2007-08 Performing Arts Preview utumn brings a rush of anticipation to most of us for one reason or another: a Pavlovian response to school starting even when you’re not a student anymore; eagerness for cooler weather and the splendor of foliage, or for sliding down slopes at breakneck speed . . . Wait! Well before the snow falls, theater curtains around Vermont will rise. And if you like to come in from the great, cold outdoors to the warmth and magic of live performance, our selection of season highlights should make you giddy with glee. Sure, certain music lovers are probably bummed to discover that the Lane Series has cut its opera offerings in half this year, from two to one: Puccini’s Tosca by Teatro Lirico D’Europa, in March. Faced with the considerable expense of importing large casts and sets, the Lane just said no — once, anyway. But the good news is, that decision freed up the budget for even more . . . other stuff. “It’s a very different Lane Series,” says Manager Natalie Neuert. “There’s much less classical, and a lot more world music.” No word on whether those pesky visa problems are still plaguing artists from beyond our borders. But not to worry: Fans of big, flamboyant productions can give their regards to Broadway — the Flynn is bringing four nationally touring musicals. Then there’s jaw-dropping dance, from the classical St. Petersburg

A

Ballet to the sexy Argentinian Tango Society to the athletic choreography of Alvin Ailey. As for classical music, the Lane still has plenty on the program: an early-music ensemble, a hip young string quartet and a — gulp — virtuoso oboist, among others. Middlebury College offers even more, and with that acoustically perfect concert hall, who can blame them? Ditto Dartmouth College’s Hopkins Center. But the schools don’t have to carry the whole load of highbrow fare. The Vermont Symphony repeats its popular Made in Vermont concert series, Capital City Concerts are still, well, capital, and the Vermont Contemporary Music Ensemble — which turns 20 this year — appeases edgier tastes with an ambitious schedule. Most Vermonters apparently haven’t seen a roots-music band they didn’t love, and that explains why regional Americana, traditional Irish/Celtic/ Arcadian, and folk or indigenous sounds from just about everywhere fill this season’s brochures. Talk about globalism . . . in a good way. At its most fundamental level, live performance is about making personto-person connections. Sometimes it’s about absorbing differences among languages, cultures, religions, political views and human histories and rising above them. And if that’s not a natural high, we don’t know what is. So get your tickets now, people: It’s show time. PAMELA POLSTON

LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO

4-ISH

Barre Opera House, October 7, 7 p.m. $10-$32.

Flynn MainStage, February 20, 7:30 p.m. $27/$21.

The next time you find yourself singing “Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes,” give credit where it’s due: Paul Simon may have written the song, but the authentic African harmonies are pure Ladysmith Black Mambazo. This band of Zulu South Africans began singing a cappella more than 30 years ago, with a style born in the townships outside Johannesburg. The music’s proper name is Isicathamiya (is-cot-a-me-a), and it can be traced back to weary goldminers who sang during the long bus rides between their homes and the mines. To create the powerful, reedy sound, a clarion vocalist generally rises above and mixes with the background voices. The effect is otherworldly, mesmerizing and often spiritual. Ladysmith Black Mambazo was largely a secret of apartheid-era South Africa until Simon made them the centerpiece of his 1986 Grammy-winning album Graceland. Ladysmith followed that up the following year with their own Grammy, for the Simon-produced Shaka Zulu. They earned yet another in 2005 for Raise Your Spirit Higher. In between, Ladysmith sang on the soundtracks of Coming to America, The Lion King Part II and Cry the Beloved Country, among others. Their latest album, titled Long Walk to Freedom (2006), put the singers back in the studio with pop stars, including Emmylou Harris, Melissa Etheridge, Natalie Merchant and Taj Mahal. Ladysmith Black Mambazo bring their unique music to Vermont for their last U.S. performance of the year.

It’ll be too cold to skate outside in February, but members of the extreme sports group ISH will be cruising quarter-pipe ramps on stage at the Flynn. The Dutch troupe’s international cast of performers and athletes fuses inline skating, theater and hip-hop in their newest show, 4-ISH. It includes a live DJ and a guy who does a dead-on impersonation of a beat box. It’s funny, too. A review in The New York Times describes a vaudevillian moment when a clownish character is upstaged by rollerblading breakdancers. “That contrast between sleek staging and technology and comically human ineptitude is at the heart of the hourlong show, which had audience members of all ages roaring with laughter and cheering,” raves writer Jennifer Dunning. Flynn Center Artistic Director and Chief Programming Officer Arnie Malina describes 4-ISH as “very acrobatic” and “literally head-spinning.” But do extreme sports belong on the same stage used by the Vermont Symphony Orchestra? Absolutely, says Malina. He likens 4-ISH to “contemporary circus arts” acts such as the Golden Dragon Acrobats of China. “On the highest level, it’s intellectual and zany and inspired,” he says. “And on the more popular level, it’s spectacular daredevilry.”

What exactly is traditional Scottish folk music? For a crash course, it might be best to start with Back of the Moon, a young, hip band of Scots — three men and one woman — and work backward. Judging from their repertoire, “Scots trad folk” results when highly skilled musicians play any combination of fiddle, border pipes, whistle, guitar, piano, flutes and bodhran, or Irish war drum. Throw in some stomping and the spectacle of a Scottish stepdance, and voilà. Carol Green, the do-it-all producer of Middlebury’s After Dark Music Series, first heard Back of the Moon at a music festival in Scotland in 2004. Like the Scottish broad sword wielded by medieval warriors in time with battlefield bagpipes, Back of the Moon’s music “just kind of goes through you,” she declares. That may be especially true when the quartet’s big sound — by turns serious, driving, somber and mirthful — is contained in a 200-person venue such as After Dark’s home in the United Methodist Church. In their seven short years together, BOTM have racked up numerous awards, including Best Folk Band at the 2005 Scots Trad Music Awards. Their latest recording, Luminosity, was also nominated for best album. Gillian Frame (viola, fiddle, vocals), Ali Hutton (border pipes, whistles, bodhran), Findlay Napier (guitars, vocals) and Hamish Napier (piano, flutes, vocals) tour regularly through the U.K., Canada, the United States and much of Europe. Find out why traditional Scottish folk music is one of the country’s biggest and best exports when Back of the Moon come to Middlebury this November. Get to the church early for a light meal — don’t worry, they probably won’t be serving haggis. KIRK KARDASHIAN FIND OTHER TRADITIONAL MUSIC IN THE 2007-08 SEASON AT WWW.SEVENDAYSVT.COM.

KARRIN ALLYSON

Lane Series at UVM Recital Hall, February 14, 7:30 p.m. $30. Talk about a sweetheart deal: Grammy Award-winning jazz vocalist-pianist Karrin Allyson gets the Lane’s most feel-good gig of the year. Says Manager Natalie Neuert, “We got into this idea of romantic chamber jazz on Valentine’s Day — it’s a good sell.” Indeed, nothing like a blonde with a sexy voice and magic fingers on the ivories to make the heart go pitter-pat. Another artist who fits that description — Diana Krall — may have better name recognition, not to mention a high-profile marriage to pop star Elvis Costello. But Allyson, whom Neuert calls “a musician’s musician,” is not exactly hiding in the woodwork. Her latest recording, Footprints, which snagged a Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album, won over critics and fans alike despite its risky conceit: setting original lyrics to instrumental jazz standards from the 1950s and ’60s by the likes of John Coltrane and Dizzy Gillespie. “People went nuts over it,” Neuert says. “She just did it so well that [the tunes] sounded like they’d always had words.” Footprints was, amazingly, Allyson’s 10th recording. A Midwesterner who grew up in Omaha, Allyson cut her teeth on the Kansas City jazz scene, so it’s no surprise to find that she can swing and bop with the best of ’em. Now a New Yorker, she continues to charm audiences with a warm, down-to-earth stage presence, and to thrill with jaw-dropping musicality. Allyson comes to the Lane Series with a quartet, so expect, says Neuert, “a full, lush sound.” PAMELA POLSTON

TOSCA, TEATRO LIRICO D’EUROPA

Lane Series at the Flynn MainStage, March 7, 7:30 p.m. $37-$56. The University of Vermont’s Lane Series features one opera instead of two this year, but Puccini’s Tosca teems with more theatrical and musical excitement than many pairs of lesser works. The larger-than-life characters face experiences and emotions on an epic scale — doomed love, jealousy, spying, torture, sexual blackmail — all while singing gloriously. Puccini put a sinister twist on the classic love triangle storyline. As the Napoleonic wars rage up and down the Italian peninsula, political chaos reigns in Rome. The head of the secret police, Baron Scarpia, arrests the painter Cavaradossi for harboring a fugitive. With the artist’s execution looming, Scarpia makes the young man’s lover, the beautiful singer Tosca, an ugly offer: sex in exchange for Cavaradossi’s freedom. Scarpia thinks she can’t refuse. But good singers know how to improvise, and the glint of cutlery from Scarpia’s supper table inspires Tosca to, ahem, carve out a creative response to his proposition. Lane Series Manager Natalie Neuert considers Tosca “an audience favorite� because of the irresistible combo of great music and great characters. Tosca is a “really sympathetic heroine� as well as a grand diva, and the cruelly manipulative Scarpia is “one of the great villains of opera,� she says. Teatro Lirico’s traditional Tosca puts the “focus on the singing,� Neuert vows. The tale’s true love ends with a memorable tragic flourish, but Puccini’s ethereal music brings smiles through the tears.

Middlebury College Center for the Arts Dance Theatre, Landmine/Map of the World, solo, October 6, 1:30 p.m. Free. Capital Life Triptych, with Dance Elixir, March 8-9, 8 p.m. $15. You don’t have to go the Middle East to appreciate its long and elegant reach. Leyya Tawil, a choreographer of Syrian-Palestinian descent, grew up in southeast Michigan among the largest population of Arabs in the United States. A “multi-source� perspective informs her dances — and, one hopes, it will also inform all the white-bread undergrads she’s likely to teach over the course of a two-year artist residency at Middlebury College. Tawil kicks off her tenure with a performance composed of two solos. Landmine explores the idea of “stance� as both a physical and psychological position. Using iconic postures of power and submission, “it communicates through pure symbolism,� Tawil explains. Map of the World is a little more postmodern. Tawil draws a map on stage using movement and gaffer’s tape and talks about what she’s doing as she performs. “I give images to different aspects of the world as I see it.� Oh, and she wears a short red raincoat while she works through kinetic cartography. Sound too avantgarde? “The thing about my work is, people say they don’t get it, but when they start talking about what they don’t get, it’s clear that they got it,� Tawil assures. Meaning aside, Tawil moves beautifully. She uses her height — 5’9� — to full advantage, and her limbs seem to go on forever. Hers is a fitting image for the symposium to which this performance belongs, entitled on “Islam and Politics in a Globalizing World.� In a follow-up discussion, Tawil will explode myths about Middle Eastern women. In December, she’ll debut a piece for 15 freshmen taking dance for the first time. And in March, Tawil’s San Francisco-based company, Dance Elixir, comes to Midd for a performance called Capital Life Triptych. PAULA ROUTLY

KEO WOOLFORD, I LAND FlynnSpace, April 4 & 5, 8 p.m. $24.

On the dance scene, hip-hop is happening in the Champlain Valley, more than one might expect. But hula? Not so much. All the more reason to take in Keo Woolford’s I Land next April at the FlynnSpace. To Vermonters who certainly don’t know their kahiko (ancient) from their ‘auana (modern) hula, the native Hawaiian brings an autobiographical, one-man show blending storytelling and dance. The co-choreographers? Famous hula master Robert Cazimero and hip-hop artist Rokafella. Woolford is an actor and singer as well as a dancer, with a diverse list of credits spanning Honolulu to London. In the late 1990s, his boy band, Brownskin, was the Hawaiian equivalent of ’N Sync. He later starred in a West End production of The King and I. But like many Hawaiians, he has struggled with issues of identity, especially when living away from the islands. Mixed ethnic heritage is the norm in Hawaii. How does one adjust from an environment of cultural fusion to the conflict, stereotyping and racism so prevalent everywhere else? Woolford’s journey contained two additional twists: issues stemming from adoption, and questions of sexual orientation. On stage, he taps into the island tradition of “talk story” — spinning yarns among friends — to work through complex topics and emotions. Anger alternates with humor; spoken word with dance. Flynn Center Artistic Director Arnie Malina saw an in-development version of I Land as part of the “Under the Radar” newworks conference last year in New York City. He found it “very moving,” but also “very funny and very spiritual. And it really deals with hula as the life language of Hawaii,” he says. “The hula is a major tourist ingredient to Hawaii, and it also has its very serious side. And men doing the hula is another provocative aspect of it.” Is Malina afraid of the marketing challenge — that potential audience members will see promo photos of a man in a grass skirt and wonder snidely, à la “Gilligan’s Island,” “Where’s his coconut bra?” “That’s the very reason that it’s part of our season,” Malina asserts. “We’re interested in work that will provoke and bring further understanding.” To that end, Woolford will also teach hula classes as part of a Flynn residency. Way to shake off a long Vermont winter! ELISABETH CREAN

WILLIAM YANG, SHADOWS Hopkins Center, March 29, 8 p.m. $18. Many Americans think of Australia as a land of vast, empty, arid spaces, the last true frontier. Photographer and performance artist William Yang has a different read on it. In his multimedia piece Shadows, coming to the Hopkins Center in March, the Chinese-Australian artist uses monologue and big-screen slide projections to paint a picture of a landscape marked by violent dispossession. From the 1820s to the 1930s, Australia’s English colonists racked up an ignominious record of massacring the land’s indigenous inhabitants, often with scant or no provocation. During World War II, the nation’s government interned about 15,000 suspected enemy sympathizers, including many German-Australian residents and European refugees from Nazi persecution. Those two experiences, different as they may be, form the core of Yang’s presentation, which asks whether a nation that’s been reft this way can ever find reconciliation. As a photographer, Yang chronicled Sydney’s underground arts scene in the 1970s. When he started accompanying his images with spoken narrative, he found a form that allowed him to explore questions about his own gay and Chinese immigrant identity, to considerable acclaim. Shadows is his first non-autobiographical piece. Commissioned by cultural festivals in Sydney and Adelaide, it led Yang from a group of Aborigines in New South Wales all the way to Berlin, where he examined the Holocaust memorials Germany has created in an effort to heal its own wounds. Described in Hop materials as “part diary, part documentary,” the performance features original music by Colin Offord, who bridges East and West in his

compositions. Offord will present his music and instruments of his own invention — such as the “Great Island Mouth Bow,” an African-inspired tree trunk equipped with strings — in a program called “Discovering Australasian Music,” on March 29th at 11 a.m. MARGOT HARRISON

VIRGINIA RODRIGUES Flynn Mainstage, October 25, 7:30 p.m. $37/$30. “Celestial” is one way to describe the voice that emanates from Bahian singer Virginia Rodrigues. “Elegant,” “refined” and “lyrical” are other adjectives critics have used, but words fail to corral her vocal quality. Too poor for lessons, Rodrigues grew up singing in the Catholic Church, and later worked as a manicurist, domestic and cook. She intuitively learned the projection, intonation and phrasing that Brazilian music legend Caetono Veloso noticed in the late 1990s, when he heard Rodrigues at the rehearsal for a play about social iniquities. (The singer is an ardent critic of Brazilian racism.) Veloso took his “discovery” to Rio de Janeiro for an official debut and negotiated her first solo recording, Sol Negro, in 1998. Fans of Brazilian music sat up and took notice. In fact, two world-music heavyweights — Joe Boyd of Rykodisc and David Byrne of Luaka Bop — competed for the rights to release the CD in the U.S. Hannibal Records, a subsidiary of Rykodisc, won. When the disc appeared in North America, The New York Times dubbed Rodrigues “the new voice of Brazil.” New listeners may be surprised to find not the synth-driven samba of the Rio music scene, but something more nuanced, delicate and rootsy. Proud of her Bahia culture and influenced by candomblé — an African religion practiced primarily in Brazil — Rodrigues sings with a spiritual intensity, often backed only by native percussion instruments or a harp. Sol Negro employs choir-like backup singers as well, which speaks to Rodrigues’ assertion that her music is “of the people.” As she told an interviewer in 1998, “My music is for everybody . . . most of all, it is music that reaches your heart.” In 2000, Rodrigues released her second disc, Nós; her third, Mares Profondos, came out in 2004 on Deutsche Grammophon’s eDGe imprint. She sings entirely in Portuguese, but her voice translates to beauty in any language. PAMELA POLSTON

DOUBT, BY JOHN PATRICK SHANLEY Northern Stage at Briggs Opera House, November 1-18, 8 p.m. $17-$56. Vermont Stage Company at FlynnSpace, January 23 - February 3. $23-$31.50. “Doubt has gotten a bad reputation,” said playwright John Patrick Shanley in a 2004 interview in The New York Times. “People who are utterly certain are vulnerable to a brand of foolishness that people who maintain a level of doubt are not.” Some will hear that as a caustic comment on the Bush administration. But Shanley’s play Doubt — produced this season by Burlington’s Vermont Stage Company and White River Junction’s Northern Stage — isn’t about politics, at least not overtly. Set in a parochial school in 1964, it’s about the battle of wills between charismatic Father Flynn and strict Sister Aloysius, who suspects him of becoming inappropriately involved with a male pupil, the school’s first African-American. Though Shanley’s plays broach weighty issues, he’s also a crowd pleaser. He won a 1987 Oscar for his screenplay for the witty romance Moonstruck, then wrote and directed Joe Versus the Volcano, a Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan flop that’s since developed a cult following. Doubt established Shanley as a stage dramatist to be reckoned with, garnering the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play. Vermont Stage Company Artistic Director Mark Nash, who plans to play Father Flynn himself, says he saw Doubt “in New York a couple years ago and was blown away by it.” Though the possibility of pedophilia in the Church is the story’s “jumping off point,” Nash adds, it’s not an exposé but a “mystery” that explores deeper questions: “What lengths do you go to to protect someone? Is it OK to lie because you suspect someone?” New York audiences reportedly wouldn’t stop debating the play’s moral quandaries after the curtain fell — so expect some lively post-theater discussions this season.

THE ROSE ENSEMBLE, “SLAVIC WONDERS”

3x1(cmyk)-open247.indd 1

11/21/06 12:34:53 PM

Lane Series at UVM Recital Hall, November 30, 7:30 p.m. $25.

Classical Christmas-season concerts usually present a familiar lineup of Handel’s Messiah, Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker and the like. But the Minneapolis-based choral group The Rose Ensemble will sing audiences into a holiday mood with a program of rarely heard Eastern European motets — i.e., religious songs not intended for the liturgy — and folk ballads dating back to medieval times. Accompanied selectively by a few instrumentalists, including a percussionist, the dozen-member group will sing mostly a cappella, as it offers up a feast of haunting Bohemian medieval chants, Russian Orthodox vocal music and songs from 17th-century Poland. The 12-year-old Rose Ensemble specializes in early music that might otherwise languish in archives: Their other programs include 19th-century Hawaiian songs and music from “the secret society of Notre Dame de Paris.” Lane Series Director Jane Ambrose first heard The Rose Ensemble in an unforgettable performance in a Minneapolis cathedral in 2001 — and kept after them until they were able to fit in a stopover in Vermont. Their busy schedule includes a weeklong tour of Spain just prior to their one-night stand at UVM. “I was so happy to get them because of the large Slavic population we have here [in Burlington],” Ambrose says, adding that native speakers should have no trouble understanding the songs: The Ensemble had language coaches in Ukrainian, Russian, Polish and Latvian. For non-Slavic audience members, she says, the concert will be one of “unfamiliar music for a very familiar season.” AMY LILLY

BRIDGMAN/PACKER DANCE

Flynn MainStage, March 28, 8 p.m. $36/$26. Art Bridgman and Myrna Packer don’t expend a lot of energy recruiting fellow dancers. They create their own “company” using video projections of themselves. Using a technique called “video partnering,” the long-committed couple — they’ve been a duo on and off stage for nearly three decades — populates the stage with visual aliases and interacts with them in ways that are both visually arresting and thought-provoking. At the Flynn, a trilogy of pieces will thoroughly explore the approach, with eye-popping results. In “Seductive Reasoning,” Bridgman and Packer dance “both with each other and with their dream partners in a dizzying foursome,” notes Village Voice dance critic Deborah Jowitt. In “Under the Skin,” the “two wear hoopskirts that act as screens. His image can appear to creep under her garment. She can acquire his legs, and viceversa. As they embrace, so do their projected selves, but in different ways.” Time-delay software in “Memory Bank” allows the dancers to engage with versions of their own bodies as they were moving seconds before. Got the picture? In the swirl of lights, costumes and entwined parts, reality blurs with the imaginary. And, of course, that’s the intended effect. Technology can be a huge distraction in dance, which, at its most elemental, is beautiful bodies moving through space. But Bridgman/Packer land — gracefully — on the proper side of the fine line between artful enhancement and cheap gimmick. “Video projections have seldom been used so adroitly or with such profligate imagination,” suggests Jowitt’s colleague at The New York Times. These couple-conscious creations take the art form to a new place. PAULA ROUTLY

Over the Wall Censorship or anti-semitism? Inside the furor over an Art Hop exhibit

says. “The work was simply the result of my experiences there.” But critics of his installation, which premiered at Johnson State College and was later shown in Boston, have called it “anti-Zionist,” “anti-Semitic” and “softcore Holocaust denial.” Those critics include Ian Thal, a Massachusetts-based actor, writer, puppeteer and mime. In a series of recent blog entries, Thal explains that he terminated his longtime relationship with Bread and Puppet Theater after Schumann’s piece was shown at the Boston Center for the Arts in February. Local opposition to Schumann’s exhibit was stirred up by Ric Kasini Kadour, a Burlington writer and gallery owner, who circulated emails about the piece before it had even opened. Kadour wrote an essay for Art Map Burlington entitled “Art Hop Exhibition Takes on Palestinian/Israeli Conflict — Wades into Anti-Semitism and Holocaust Denial.” In it, Kadour repeats many of the charges that were leveled against Schumann in Boston — that the piece equates the Israeli/Palestinian conflict with conditions in Nazi Germany, trivializes the Holocaust and undermines historical fact. For his part, Schumann has repeatedly denied the accusations of antiSemitism and Holocaust denial — after all, he and his family fled Nazi Germany when he was 10. He says his critics not only misinterpret his work but “overinterpret” it. “I’m not saying that what’s happening in Palestine is the same as what happened in Warsaw . . . but it’s certainly a reminder,” Schumann says. “I don’t understand how a people so terribly violated can now violate another people so badly.” The Art Hop controversy was intensified by the fact that “Independence Paintings” was sponsored by Vermonters for a Just Peace in Palestine/Israel (VTJP), a political advocacy group associated with the Peace and Justice Center that is organizing other events around the

exhibit. According to the group’s website, its mission is to “support the survival of the Palestinian people and to end the illegal, immoral and brutal Israeli occupation through education, advocacy and action.” In the days leading up to the September 7 Art Hop opening, calls and emails began pouring in to SEABA’s board of directors and Art Hop staff,

including several from Rabbi Joshua Chasan of Ohavi Zedek Synagogue in Burlington. In them, Chasan decried Schumann’s exhibit as “essentially antiSemitic” and accused VTJP of “hijacking” this year’s Art Hop. Unlike some critics, however, Chasan stopped short of asking the South End Arts and Business Association, which puts on the Hop, to remove Schumann’s exhibit. IMAGE COURTESY OF DAVID SOKOL

he Art Hop debate raging this week in Burlington isn’t just about what’s hanging on the walls, but about what’s happening beyond the canvas, at the nexus of art and politics. It’s about walls themselves — walls that protect or imprison us, walls we hide behind, and walls that separate us from one another and from the truth. To shift the metaphor: Art is supposed to cast light in the darkness. But whether this controversy generates enlightenment or just a lot of heat and smoke remains to be seen. As does who will get burned. The trouble started with a South End Art Hop installation by Peter Schumann, the 73-year-old Silesian-born founder and art director of Bread and Puppet Theater. In November 2006, Schumann visited Beit Sahour, a small, mostly Greek Orthodox town near Bethlehem in the Palestinian West Bank. For 10 days, he tried to teach Palestinians between the ages of 18 and 60 about performance art. Schumann’s goal, he tells Seven Days, was to hear Palestinian stories about the pains and indignities they’ve suffered at the hands of Israeli soldiers — checkpoint searches, home incursions, property destruction and the deaths of loved ones — and then to turn those stories into street theater. Against this backdrop, Schumann was reading The Wall, John Hersey’s famous account of the extermination of the Warsaw Ghetto Jews by the Nazis. Out of this experience, Schumann, no stranger to controversial art, created “Independence Paintings,” so named because the street performances were held on Palestine Independence Day. The paintings, done on blackened cardboard in his distorted and free-wheeling style, depict people in various states of anguish and persecution. The figures are juxtaposed with “random” quotations from Hersey’s book and descriptions of the Palestinian street theater. “This wasn’t a missionary painting job, where I set out to use the words of John Hersey because I wanted to be hard on the Jewish community,” Schumann

Now Carrying Baby Clothes! “As you know, I am not afraid to criticize Israeli policies and have been side by side with Palestinians during a home destruction by the Israelis and protecting olive farmers near Nablus,� Chasan writes in a September 7 email to fellow Vermont clergy. “[But] this is not about Israeli policies. This is about hatred for Israel the State, which bleeds directly into hatred for Israel the people. The standard of public discourse in Burlington is being lowered.� SEABA Executive Director Carlos Haase, who’s been on the job for just three months, quickly issued a statement in response to Chasan’s and others’ phone calls and emails. In it, he wrote, “The South End Arts and Business Association (SEABA), and by extension, the South End Arts Hop, are strongly committed to artistic freedom of expression. We don’t pass judgment on any artwork, that is, we neither condone nor condemn any work. We encourage everyone to see the artwork on display and come to their own conclusions about the materials.

Neirman’s flyers featured photos and captions depicting eight other “Rachels� who lived in Israel and were killed by Palestinian violence. “I came in pretty close-minded and upset about it,� Neirman says about Schumann’s exhibit. “But after listening to community members speak, [I realized that] he has every right to be there.� That said, Neirman echoes the sentiments of others at the Israel Center of Vermont when he says that Art Hop should be about local art, not about advancing one group’s political ideology. “I feel it was done for political reasons, not artistic reasons,� he adds, “and the Art Hop was an inappropriate venue for it.� From all accounts, no one — not Schumann, not VTJP and not the Israel Center and its supporters — was happy with the out-

I’m not saying that what’s happening in Palestine is the same as what happened in Warsaw . . . but it’s certainly a reminder.

Opposition intensified on Saturday, September 8, and quickly shifted away from Schumann’s exhibit to the Art Hop itself for its decision to give a “non-arts group� — i.e., VTJP — a public forum to advance its political agenda without providing a countervailing viewpoint. At the September 8 event — also criticized by some people because it was held on the Jewish Sabbath, when some could not attend — Schumann’s discussion of “Independence Paintings� was followed by a talk by Joel Kovel, author of the controversial book Overcoming Zionism: Creating a Single Democratic State in Israel/Palestine. Accounts of the Saturday event differ widely, depending on the observer. Supporters of Schumann and Kovel describe a group of “attackers,� numbering a dozen or two, who tried to “disrupt� the event by waving Israeli flags, badgering the speakers, muttering loudly and circulating inflammatory leaflets. One flyer, drawn by Burlington artist David Sokol, reads “Puppets lynch the Jews,� and features an illustration of a Jew being hanged by a parade of puppeteers, presumably from Bread and Puppet. Several VTJP members and others in attendance later said they felt uncomfortable and even “physically threatened� by Kovel’s opponents. But critics of the Saturday event, including members of the Israel Center for Vermont, counter that while they were offended by Kovel’s presence at Art Hop, they behaved respectfully toward him and Schumann. Some prefaced their remarks that day by saying that Schumann had every right to present his work, but that the Art Hop was no place for Kovel’s “political diatribe� against Israel. Among those critics was Josh Neirman, a junior at the University of Vermont and president of the Chabad House Jewish Community Center. Neirman was one of several people who circulated flyers at the Schumann/Kovel talk. One flyer took aim at a Bread and Puppet per-

come. According to several sources, state Senator Hinda Miller (D-Chittenden) approached Haase and said she would “go after� the Art Hop’s sponsors and encourage them to withdraw their financial support for SEABA and future Art Hop events. Several other members of Burlington’s Jewish community reportedly asked WCAX-TV and other large Art Hop sponsors to pull their funding for next year. Thus far, no sponsor has done so, according to SEABA board President Mark Stephenson. An offer by Art Hop to the Israel Center to allow an opposing presentation to Schumann’s work was refused. Community anger, resentment and mutual name-calling sparked meetings the following week. Members of the Israel Center of Vermont, who met at the Burlington office of Kelleher Samets Volk on Tuesday morning, drafted a letter to the Art Hop, SEABA’s board of directors, Art Hop sponsors and the Burlington City Council. The letter attacks Kovel and his book, describing it as “antiSemitic,� “poor scholarship� and “historically and factually inaccurate.� But the letter comes down hardest on SEABA and Art Hop. “In sanctioning this speaker, the staff and board of SEABA committed an egregious judgment error and moral and ethical breach and permitted the event to be high jacked [sic] by a discredited author arguing a fringe political position,� the letter reads. “In so doing, SEABA has suffered a significant loss of public confidence and support.� The letter then urged the board to: issue a public apology for allowing the Kovel lecture; adopt a formal policy that “only art presentations� be included in future Art Hops; conduct formal reviews of Art Hop programs before they’re approved; and open all future SEABA board meetings to the public. For their part, VTJP members also met the following week at the Peace and Justice Center to discuss how the group should respond to the criticism. Mousa Ishaq, a Palestinian-American living in Essex Junction, says he was saddened by the response to the Kovel talk, but was not surprised by the threats against Art Hop sponsors. “This is a superb case of bullying for the ultimate purpose of silencing, censoring and not allowing the Palestinian narrative to be

Are you at risk for breast cancer?

9/11/07 10:39:35 AM

The Vermont Cancer Center at the University of Vermont and Fletcher Allen Health Care is conducting a clinical research study to determine the effect of taking a drug (Lipitor- a drug commonly used to lower cholesterol) on breast density, a known risk factor for developing breast cancer. Participants will be randomized to take either Lipitor or a placebo daily for 1 year. Participants will also have annual mammograms, physical exams and routine blood draws.

To participate, women must: • be at least 35 years of age and premenopausal • be at increased risk for developing breast cancer due to a family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer, a prior abnormal breast biopsy or a known genetic abnormality.

told by anybody, in any form, whether it’s art or otherwise,” Ishaq says. “This is not any different from what President Carter was subjected to because he touched the third rail of politics, the Palestinian issue.” VTJP member Bob Greene says he was outraged to witness how the Schumann/Kovel event devolved and resents the way his group has been mischaracterized by its opponents. “We’ve been called a thinly disguised hate group and anti-Semites, despite the fact that a quarter of our regularly attending members are Jewish, including one who escaped Hitler,” Greene says. “These are dangerous, ugly libels. If we were a group that had money or made money, we’d sue these motherfuckers.” VTJP member Hilary Martin admits that her group could have chosen a less controversial speaker to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian issue. That said, she’s troubled by the suggestion that SEABA should prohibit all politically charged talks at future Art Hops. “It would be awful if someone wanted to do a piece about universal health care next year and a talk about it wasn’t allowed,” she says. “That would be tragic.” Nina Parris says she sees something more insidious in what happened at the Schumann/Kovel presentation. Parris, who turned 80 on September 11, is a VTJP member and a Holocaust survivor. Incensed at being accused of being a Holocaust denier and a “self-hating Jew,” she thinks there are times when comparisons to the Nazis are appropriate. “If you think back to the 1930s, what happened the other day and the tactics that were used by the group that was creating the ruckus were exactly the tactics that were used by the Nazis in every meeting, whether it was trade unions, artists’ groups or on university campuses,” she says. “When this is a tactic

The fact that this whole thing occurred is perhaps the best kind of political art because it fostered this intense debate — a hateful debate, but a debate. SANDY BAIRD, ATTORNEY/ACTIVIST adopted by Jews, something is rotten in Denmark.” Underlying this week’s controversy are both the exhibit’s timing and its symbolism. Last week marked the beginning of the Jewish High Holidays, the most solemn and reflective time of year on the Jewish calendar. This time last year, many in Vermont’s Jewish community were equally outraged by a talk given at UVM by DePaul University Professor Norman Finkelstein, who speaks and writes about the link between criticism of Israel and charges of antiSemitism. Just last week, Finkelstein

announ-ced he was resigning from the Chicago university, ending a long battle over his tenure. To some community members, the juxtaposition of these two incidents is no coincidence. Finkelstein, the son of Nazi concentration camp survivors, has also been called a Holocaust denier and anti-Semite. For his part, he has described antiSemitism as “the Jewish race card” that gets played whenever anyone, Jewish or otherwise, attacks Israel’s policies. Others in Burlington say such far-reaching speculations entirely miss the point of this week’s con-

troversy. While there’s a place for political art at Art Hop, they maintain, the event’s discussions and presentations should focus on local art, not advancing a one-sided political agenda. Burlington attorney and longtime political activist Sandy Baird says she’s bothered by the suggestion that art and politics can be separated and divorced from their real-world context. She also thinks there may be a silver lining to this brouhaha. “The fact that this whole thing occurred is perhaps the best kind of political art because it fostered this intense debate — a hateful debate,

but a debate,” says Baird. “And isn’t that what political art is all about?” On Monday night, SEABA’s board met for four hours to discuss the Schumann/Kovel controversy. Although it did not cancel the Sunday, September 23 screening of the controversial film, Occupation 101, which is also sponsored by VTJP, it refused to allow new events to be scheduled around Schumann’s exhibit. And, it formed an ad hoc committee to discuss the four demands made in the Israel Center of Vermont letter, which will report back in 30 days. �

ARTWORK “Who Knows Why?” (detail) by Tony Moore

PHOTO Marc Awodey

he current exhibit at Brandon’s Gallery in-theField draws on the ancient theme of memento mori in art. Ceramic sculptor Tony Moore’s “Paradox in Form” examines a central conundrum of existence: that each hour of life brings us another hour closer to death. But Moore’s work isn’t all doom and gloom; rather, it reminds us that human handiwork can challenge that paradox by leaving lasting imprints on the world. Memento mori loosely translates from Latin into “remember you are mortal.” The phrase has spawned centuries of skull and funerary-urn images in still-life paintings, friezes, even New England needlepoints. Moore’s “Thou,” a 36-by22-inch gravestone form that is about 3 inches thick, firmly fits into that genre. The word “THOU” is inscribed on this ceramic headstone, recalling Ebenezer Scrooge’s tombstone as revealed by the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come in “A Christmas Carol.” Moore also pressed a handprint at lower left, and several leaf forms onto the sculpture’s red and black-singed, woodfired surfaces. “Thou” sits on a wall-mounted shelf. Its face is smoothed, but the gravestone’s edges appear as rough as coarsely graveled concrete. Moore often mixes pebbles and grit into his clay. The leaf in “Thou” is a fragment of iconography repeated in these works — the geranium leaf print turns up everywhere. Like the human soul thriving within the confines of a physical body, geraniums will bloom continuously indoors when tended well. Moore’s 35-by-22-by-3-inch “Preparing the Way” is a blank gravestone image; like each person’s future, its narrative seems yet to be written. Organic white patches, similar to leached calcium carbonate or salt, spread across the piece, and geranium leaf prints again appear. Moore cut the edges of “Preparing the Way” into a cruciform shape, placing 4-by-4-inch squares of negative space at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock around the piece. Another empty square is cut, windowlike, into the headstone’s top third. “Trophy” is a wall-mounted collection of 15 buildings, each 9 inches high and installed on a 72by-108-inch grid of little shelves. This aggregate work also employs iconographic forms. Eight buildings have spires, and seven have distinctive mastaba shapes, reminiscent of the earliest Middle Eastern temples. Three buildings in the latter group are topped with odd vessel forms. “Smoke Screen” is a similar work, but all of its buildings seem to be small cathedrals. Several are imbued with a subtle blue glaze, which also appears

Moore’s work isn’t all doom and gloom; rather, it reminds us that human handiwork can leave lasting imprints on the world. in many of the 150 self-portrait heads that constitute Moore’s monumental “Who Knows Why?” A British-American artist, Moore received his MFA from Yale, and his work has been exhibited on both sides of the Atlantic. He’s also a former exhibition installer at the Guggenheim Museum. So it’s not surprising that “Who Knows Why?” was installed at Gallery in-the-Field with museum-quality precision, taking the gestalt of the elegantly designed venue into account. In the work, Moore’s relentlessly repeated, disembodied ceramic heads lie in a precise arrangement on the gallery floor. They are also stacked into a 7-foot-tall vertical, cagelike structure; the faces are cheek to cheek and slightly upturned. The floor pieces in “Who Knows Why?” are the color of parchment, while blue specimens reside in

the cage. Though each individual head is like a death mask, and the tall cage recalls the Catacombs of Paris, Moore’s 150 self-portraits aren’t necessarily macabre. Instead, each evokes a successive soul with its own identity, even though all the heads are virtually identical. Their beautiful glazing contributes to their peaceful appearance. As is obvious from the hues of blue-gray, umber, red oxide, black and white sprinkled across the exhibition, Moore is a superb ceramics technician. An exhibition sign discloses that he fires his pieces for six to eight days in an 18-footlong “hybrid Anagama-Norborigama Japanesestyle wood-fire kiln” of his own construction. In that kiln, Moore commingles inferno and earth. The works that emerge from it tell a story of spiritual transcendence. m

WATER SHED The black-and-white photography of Connie Imboden, showing at Pine Street Art Works in Burlington, creates a kind of abstract poetry with nude figures without altering or manipulating them. By examining how illuminated female forms are refracted and reflected under water, Imboden’s work achieves a visual grace. Her dramatic contrasts of value suggest subtle movement in the figures’ supple yet ethereal forms. Imboden is an artist of international stature. Her exhibition, titled “The Beauty of Darkness,” shows why. It’s on view through October 2.

HEAD HONCHO Philip Hagopian’s “Self Portrait #218,� pictured here, has got to be the most brilliant self-portrait to have appeared in Burlington in a very long time. A masterful technician and storyteller, his oils range from decorative to humorous to topical. But the search for form evidenced in this work — one of 13 now installed at Speeder & Earl’s coffee shop on Pine Street — transcends Hagopian’s more illustrative images. This view of himself is timeless in the Rembrandt tradition.

playing the electronic field

The Road Less Traveled Too many games. Gamers lament that, while their world overflows with interesting things to play, they’ll never have a chance to get to them all. Greg Costikyan at Manifesto Games wants to make it worse by pointing out hundreds of new games you’ve probably never heard of. With the motto “One interesting game a day,” Playthisthing.com is leading the charge Manifesto started. They’re shaking up the game business by getting people to look past blockbuster titles to novel, provocative and just-plain-weird electronic entertainment. Ever consider sitting down to a game that simulates political gerrymandering? Play This Thing! urges you to give “The Redistricting Game” a go. Based on the very real art of manipulating political boundaries to sway elections, the game manages to teach you a few things about the messy business of getting people into public office while providing a compelling strategy challenge. “Playing With Fire” offers an abstract puzzle game in which burning things helps you find a solution, while “Eternal Daughter” serves up old-school side-scrolling adventure that is comparable to Game Boy Color. “Tragedy of the Bunnies” is a simple allegory demonstrating that private property isn’t such a bad thing, and “Defcon” entertains by explaining lucidly why nuclear war exists. “Defcon” also exemplifies why Play This Thing! stands out as an important as well as an interesting Internet diversion. For less than $20, “Defcon” is a masterful variant of speed chess where nothing is left to chance, as you attempt to outnuke players across the network in an eerily sterile situation room.

a look at games like this. The site’s recommendations range from casual puzzles and adventure titles to art games and interactive advertisements. Many of the games are free; some are downloadable demos, and others are traditional tabletop games that require a visit to the local hobby shop. What they all have in common is their ability to tickle the fancy of one of the hard-boiled editors who supply the site reviews each day. Packed with games, links and information, the site stands as one of the most impressive videogame offerings in a long time. PTT was designed both to promote the independent games sold on the Manifesto site and to stimulate a real appetite for something new in gamers whose taste has grown dull on mainstream pabulum. It balances business with a back-to-basics attitude. Just to keep the record straight, it should be noted that the site isn’t solely about selling product. Open forums invite anyone to suggest games for review and to track games

slated for a turn on the site’s home page. Coupling these forums with reader ratings, PTT promises to turn into one of the best resources on the Web for finding and tracking fringe games. Who’s It For: Got some time to kill during your lunch break? Or are you just curious about what creative people can come up with when not trying to program the Next Big Thing? A visit to playthisthing.com provides plenty of distractions and surprisingly smart amusements. If You Like This, Try That: Head over to sister site manifestogames. com and demo top independent games. If you like them, pay for the full game and keep on playing. Best Part: Even as developers continue to crank out interesting new product, there’s plenty of stuff about to get swept into the dustbin of history.

theborowitzreport Exhausted, Thompson Quits Race, Calls Weeklong Campaign ‘Punishing’

S

aying that he was “totally exhausted and drained,” former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson withdrew from the race for the Republican presidential nomination today. Mr. Thompson’s move surprised supporters and rivals alike, since the Tennessean had announced his candidacy just a week earlier. But in his announcement, Mr. Thompson made it clear that the “punishing” schedule of a presidential candidate was not to his liking: “I am putting in seven, sometimes eight-hour days, and that is not what I signed up for.” When asked when he began having second thoughts about his decision to run for president, the former senator replied, “I’d say halfway through my announcement on the Leno show -- I could definitely feel myself fading.” The erstwhile candidate said that his week on the campaign trail made him long for his days as an actor on the NBC series “Law and Order.” “We’d find out that there was a murder, and bam, an hour later it was quittin’ time,” he said. Davis Logsdon, chairman of the political science department at the

University of Minnesota, offered this comment on Mr. Thompson’s surprising decision: “This should end the debate over whether Fred Thompson is ‘lazy like a fox’ or just plain old lazy.”

This should end the debate over whether Fred Thompson is “lazy like a fox” or just plain old lazy. Davis Logsdon

For his part, Mr. Thompson scoffed when a reporter asked if he was departing the race to spend more time with his family. “Oh, please, that’s even more exhausting than running for president,” he said. “Right now I just want a nap.” Elsewhere, intelligence experts say that Osama bin Laden’s physical appearance in his new video indicates that he is alive and planning to date.

language of Tierra del Fuego, mamihlapinatapai is a word meaning “gazing into each other’s eyes, each hoping that the other will initiate something that both desire but which neither one wants to start.” If I’m reading the astrological omens correctly, you’ve been experiencing some version of this poignant deadlock lately. It may have made sense for you to refrain from making the first move up until now, but it no longer does. Get yourself in a generous mood and provide the jumpstart you’ve both been hesitant to try.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Symphonie

Fantastique is widely regarded as one of the most important pieces of music of the 19th century. French composer Hector Berlioz wrote it in 1830 as a response to being rejected by the woman he loved, hoping to seduce her with the power of his artistry. Your assignment in the coming week, Taurus, is to emulate Berlioz: Capitalize on a refusal you’ve had to endure; create a masterpiece in rebellion against a repudiation you’ve experienced; make a thing of beauty to compensate for being shunned or ignored. (P.S. The woman in question, Harriet Smithson, eventually married Berlioz.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I feel worst

when I’m not learning,” writes Harker, one of my readers, “whether it be the stickier details of things I’ve almost mastered or the fresh spring wind of something entirely new to me.” If you share that perspective, as many Geminis do, I’ve got some good news for you: In the next 30 days you could learn more about love and intimacy than you have in the past two years. For those of you who are brave enough to shed your knowit-all romantic theories, the coming weeks could be like an intensive workshop in the fine art of creating exciting togetherness.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): Neuroscientists at Britain’s Bristol University have concluded that playing in the dirt can make you feel really good. That’s because most soil is crawling with

species of bacteria that interact favorably with the human body, strengthening the immune system and stimulating the brain in the same way antidepressants do. The astrological omens suggest that you capitalize on this discovery, Cancerian. You can obtain great health benefits from playing in a sandbox, wrestling with a friend in the dirt, creating mud pies, or smearing clay on your face. In fact, having any kind of messy, down-to-earth fun is highly recommended.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The nature of your

imminent future has certain resemblances to what happened at a Chinese zoo, where a baby tiger named Sai Mai was breast-fed by a mother pig and fully accepted by her piglet “siblings.” As your ruling metaphor, we could also use the scenario that unfolded at an animal facility in Kenya, where a young hippopotamus named Owen was adopted by a giant, 120-year-old tortoise. In other words, Leo, you should expect exotic pairings that lead to unprecedented expressions of symbiosis and synergy.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you use email, you have a spam filter. You block out the sales pitches, fake information, and random noise that constantly flow toward your inbox. In the coming week, I urge you to expand your concept of what constitutes spam by shielding yourself against all the other junk food for thought that besieges you. Be ruthlessly discerning about the toxins that spew from the radio, TV, Web, newspapers and magazines. Minimize your contact with narcissists who think “conversation” consists of you soaking up their compulsive self-revelations. You might even erect a psychic spam filter to repel the fearful images that sometimes bubble up from your subconscious mind.

LIbRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Art critic Simon Schama prefers not to think of Van Gogh’s “Wheatfield With Crows” as the work of an unhappy madman battling with suicidal urges. Rather, he prefers to see it as the seminal masterpiece of a modern genius who

launched modern painting. Without denying that the first theory has some validity, he chooses to emphasize the truth of the second interpretation. I urge you to adopt a similar approach as you evaluate the meaning of recent events in your life: Don’t repress the pain they unleashed, but on the other hand, play up and celebrate their gloriously redemptive aspects.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Of all the signs in the zodiac, you routinely enjoy the most interesting problems. No one else can compete with your talent for dreaming up original sins, either. I expect that in the coming weeks, you’ll once again assert your mastery in these two areas, leaving the rest of us muttering in amazed awe as we behold the beautiful, stinking, useful, hellacious, intriguing messes you stir up. Congratulations in advance for the resourcefulness and courage I know you will summon from the abyss of your subconscious mind.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Homer Simpson, star of the TV show “The Simpsons,” has a continually evolving list of the many feats he hopes to accomplish in his life. Among the fantasies that have come true for him are being the manager of a country-western singer, keeping a diary while living in the wilderness, devouring the world’s most massive hoagie, and seeing Stevie Nicks naked. In accordance with your astrological omens, Homer is your role model in the coming week. May he inspire you to carry out one of your lifelong dreams, and to add three more lifelong dreams to your list for the future.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Three

hundred years ago, a Miwok Indian family slept on the land where my home now stands. I salute them. I celebrate them with a sense of wonder and curiosity. Three hundred years from tonight, who knows what will be here? A Chinese mosque? An android research facility? A polyglot, polyamorous, multicultural commune? Whoever may be here then, I salute them. I celebrate them with wonder and curiosity. In

accordance with your omens, Capricorn, I urge you to use what I just did as a starting point for an extended meditation. Gaze both backwards and forwards in time with a spirit of playful reverence. Spur your imagination to fantasize about the people who have preceded you and who will follow you. Feel the way your destiny has been blessed by the past, and think about how your life will bless the future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Dear Rob:

Every night recently, I’ve dreamt I’m committing crimes like fraud, robbery and embezzlement. (No murders, thank God!) It’s getting so I’m not that happy about going to sleep. I feel bad about the mayhem I’m perpetrating. (Although I did have a fun car chase once.) I don’t dream about the fruits of the crimes, just the criminal activities themselves. Is this something Aquarians in general are going through? I can’t tell if I feel guilty about something, am psyching myself up to be an outlaw, or have just been watching too many episodes of ‘Law & Order.’ — On the Lam.” Dear On the Lam: My guess is that your dreams (like those of many Aquarians) are prodding you to find more meaningful, productive ways to express creative rebellion in your waking life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Mythologist

Joseph Campbell wrote books that describe the archetypal elements of the hero’s journey. Borrowing his perspective, I want you to know that it’s a perfect moment to take on the role of the hero and carry out an extended exploration of the underworld. Although it’s dark and odd down there, it happens to be the realm where your soul feels most at home. And your ego? It will probably feel like an exile, at least initially, but I bet it will ultimately find the underworld to be unexpectedly interesting and rewarding. For best results, Pisces, make a forceful decision to wander through the place with an adventurous spirit; don’t wait around for fate to command you to make an appearance. Dive down! Dig deep!

film reviews No End in Sight HHHH

H FIGHT CLUB Ferguson traces a multitude of mistakes in Iraq back to an inner circle with minimal military experience.

ow many years, how many lost lives, how many readily avoidable blunders have we witnessed since our commander-in-chief stood on the deck of that aircraft carrier under a sign declaring “Mission Accomplished” and announced that combat operations in Iraq had reached an end? The answers to these and dozens of other questions about how the invasion wound up as badly bungled as it did can be found in this exhaustive and authoritative documentary from first-time writerdirector Charles Ferguson. This filmmaker’s approach is virtually the reverse of the one trademarked by Michael Moore. The voice of No End in Sight isn’t the director’s. The outrage, bewilderment and contempt aimed at the architects of the Iraq disaster aren’t his, either. Ferguson’s masterstroke is his decision to tell this tragic story in the voices of irrefutable witnesses to the quagmire-in-the-making: officials at the Pentagon, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Intelligence Council, the U.S. Army and the Marine Corps, and former Bush appointees such as Richard Armitage and General Jay Garner. A great many voices are heard, all with one thing in common: incredulity at the way expert advice was consistently trivialized and even dismissed outright by a small inner circle of armchair warriors with virtually no military experience. The director pulls back the curtain to reveal a handful of administration officials who set events in motion as though playing with toy soldiers. We see

them shifting the focus from those responsible for the attacks of 9/11 to a dictator who was known to have no connection to Al-Qaeda — just for the hell of it, basically — and then making one staggeringly stupid mistake after another in the wake of the invasion. The film shows clearly how Rumsfeld, Cheney, Rice, Bremer and their assistants — with the president just barely in the loop — themselves set the stage for the insurgency. They needed no help from Osama bin Laden. U.S. forces failed to protect the Iraqi Museum and Library, occasioning the loss of the country’s national heritage while giving its people the message that their liberators placed little value on it. By allowing widespread looting to continue in the wake of the assault on Baghdad, as American soldiers looked on, the administration effectively told the city’s residents they would have to look to Muslim

militias for protection of their lives and property. And the stupidest move of all: By disbanding the half-million-man Iraqi army (which could have been used to restore order), the war’s planners instead sent hundreds of thousands of suddenly unemployed, angry, heavily armed fighters into the streets, where they continue to blow up American personnel on a regular basis to this day. No End in Sight is the most important film of the year thus far. More significantly, it’s the most comprehensive, clear-eyed account of the Iraq debacle and the arrogance behind it that we have. If it doesn’t win the Oscar for best documentary, we’ll have to conclude that its studio hired the same geniuses who sold this war to handle its award-season marketing campaign. RICK KISONAK

The Brave One HHHH

I SYMPATHY FOR LADY VENGEANCE Jodie Foster plays a crime victim who gets empowered, but not in a good way, in Neil Jordan’s revenge drama.

s it possible to make a liberal vigilante movie? In The Brave One, Jodie Foster plays Erica Bain, a mousy Manhattan talk radio host who’s closer to Ira Glass than Rush Limbaugh. When she wants to discuss American violence, she quotes D.H. Lawrence and Emily Dickinson, not Clint Eastwood’s “Make my day” speech. And when a caller suggests that the vigilante who’s been gunning down street thugs is doing the city a service, she cuts him off, looking mortified at such right-wing blather. Which is odd, since Erica herself is the vigilante. But this latest from Irish director Neil Jordan is an odd movie. Where one might expect a rabble-rousing female version of Death Wish, it’s actually a study in grief and ambivalence, as moody and murky as the director’s Oscar-winning The Crying Game. Also like The Crying Game, it pivots on the unlikely but compelling relationship that develops between two unhappy people — here, Foster and an insomniac homicide detective played by Terrence Howard (Hustle & Flow). Like the lovely London hairdresser in that other movie, Foster’s character has a secret, though the “equipment” she’s concealing is a 9-millimeter automatic. Will Howard, who’s investigating the vigilante slayings, find out? And will he care? It all starts when mild-mannered Erica takes the dog for a walk in Central Park with her hunky doctor fiancé (Naveen Andrews of “Lost,” just as under-used here). When muggers jump the couple in a tunnel and begin beating them, Jordan fractures the violence in a way that distances us, showing us much of the action through the viewfinder of the attackers’ video camera. (Yes, these thugs belong to the YouTube generation.)

Erica wakes from a coma to find her lover dead and her life empty, except for a nagging fear that something like this might happen again. She buys a gun, and when the occasion arises, she uses it — first in what might still be construed as selfdefense, then in increasingly tepid blood. When trouble doesn’t find her, she starts to look for it. Vigilante dramas have their roots in Elizabethan revenge tragedies, which carried the pious message that “an eye for an eye” merely perpetuates the cycle of violence. At the same time, they catered to the audience’s desire to see bad guys bite it. For all its subtlety, The Brave One does the same thing. The city Erica experiences is a paranoid’s fever dream, with evil lurking around every corner, and Jordan and the screenwriters put us in a position where it’s hard not to cheer for her when she pulls a Bernhard Goetz. But we also see how her own violence sickens and bewilders her, even as she starts to depend on the rush she gets from being judge, jury and executioner. Foster’s taut, slow-burn performance makes all this plausible — though it should be noted that she does more husky, anguished whispering than Haley Joel Osment in The Sixth Sense. The screenplay hints that Erica’s story might be a parable for something bigger, like the situation of New York — or America, for that matter — reeling in the wake of a horrific surprise attack. “I always thought that fear belonged to other people . . . until it touched me,” Erica tells her listeners. References to the war and suicide bombers suggest that the movie is an elegy for more than just one woman’s innocence.

But hackneyed TV-cop-drama devices pull The Brave One down, as does an ending that’s too muddled to resolve anything. Howard does amazing work as the detective, who seems to be half courting this perp and half waiting to pounce on her. Too bad, when he finally decides what to do, the movie gets cheesy. Erica’s taken way more than an eye for an eye at that point, and we’re left wondering exactly who’s going to save the city from this liberal gone postal — or her from herself. MARGOT HARRISON

< food> Got Raw Milk? Though it’s barely legal, unpasteurized milk is making a comeback PHOTO: kirk kardasHian

by KIRK KARDASHIAN

O

n a small farm in the shallow valley of North Chittenden, the Elliott family is doing something ancient yet avant-garde. And they need to be discreet about it. They are drinking, and selling, raw milk. You wouldn’t know it by looking at the family’s porch, on which a cooler of fresh eggs announces itself with a modest sign.

Even though the sale of raw milk is legal in Vermont, that doesn’t mean the state recommends it. There’s no cow in the back yard, and the field across from the house is empty. Up the hill a ways, however, a brown Jersey cow named Godiva stands with her head down, pulling green grass from the ground and macerating it between her teeth. The milk from her udders is expressed twice a day, yielding about three gallons, and is put into plastic jars in the Elliotts’ kitchen refrigerator. They sell it to about six other families for $1.25 per quart. No pasteurization, no homogenization. Just milk, plain and simple. Well, not quite. The sale of milk ceased to be simple sometime in the early 1800s, when fledgling urban areas started to feed “swill” grain — waste

from breweries and distilleries — to cows, and people got sick by the thousands from drinking tainted milk. High infant mortality and disease rates continued through the end of the 19th century before two different remedies were proposed: set rigorous standards for milking operations, or pasteurize the stuff to kill the germs and bacteria. Pasteurization — the process of heating a liquid to re-

duce its harmful organisms — won out, but it wasn’t until 1987 that the Food and Drug Administration prohibited the interstate sale of unpasteurized milk. In-state sales of milk are still regulated by individual state governments. It’s unlawful to sell raw milk for human consumption in 15 states, while 26 states allow the sale of raw milk with various limitations. California is one of the few

places where you can buy raw milk in the grocery store. Vermont’s raw-milk laws strike a middle ground, according to Byron Moyer, chief of the dairy section at the Agency of Agriculture. Basically, Vermonters can sell fewer than 25 quarts of raw milk per day without having to procure a milk-handlers’ >> 0 B

license, which comes with a set of strict, expensive guidelines for commercial dairy farms. Additionally, raw-milk purveyors can’t advertise their product, and it can only be sold on the farm where it originates. “The legal term for that,” Moyer says, “is caveat emptor — buyer beware.” The rationale behind the on-site rule is that if someone sees the farm and the cow, then they are ultimately responsible for assessing its cleanliness. Even though the sale of raw milk is legal in Vermont, that doesn’t mean the state recommends it. Following the lead of the FDA in March, the Vermont Department of Health issued a reminder about the health risks associated with drinking unpasteurized milk. “Raw milk potentially contains a wide variety of bacteria — including salmonella, E. coli, listeria, campylobacter and brucella,” the warning states. State epidemiologist Curt Lohff adds flatly, “Consuming raw milk may be harmful to your health.” Those are measured words, however, compared to statements from John Sheehan, the Dairy and Egg Safety Director of the FDA. According to him, drinking raw milk is “like playing Russian roulette with your health,” and it “should not be consumed by anyone, at any time, for any reason.” Tim and Stacey Elliott, both 35, don’t appear the least bit worried. Neither do their five children, ranging in age from 2 to 12. The Elliotts have been growing their own beef, pork and chicken for four years. They started milking this past February, when the kids begged their parents to adopt a neighbor’s Jersey calf. “I said, ‘All right, as long as you promise to milk it,’” Tim tells. He’s the fifth-generation Elliott to farm in what used to be called the Holden Valley, a quiet, out-of-the-way neighborhood anchored by the North Chittenden Wesleyan Church. By day, Tim is a project engineer at Omya. Although he doesn’t have a bumper sticker declaring it, he says he’d rather be farming. Not long after the Elliotts brought Godiva into the family, they had to begin milking her. The family — though not lacking in child laborers — wasn’t about to start a commercial dairy operation with just one cow. Instead, says Tim, “It was a good opportunity to save money for ourselves with milk.” Quarts these days at Shaw’s start at $2. So they purchased a milking machine — a vacuumoperated mechanism with suction cups — and, in the tradition of eons of dairy farmers before them, made cow’s milk part of their daily

diet. Soon the family was getting calls from friends who wanted to do the same thing. Because they had a surplus, the Elliotts attracted a few customers. Connie Mackintosh, 40, is one of the regular ones. She grew up drinking raw milk, but went through a period when none was available to her. At about the same time she had to revert to pasteurized milk, she got a bad case of eczema, a type of skin rash. Her dermatologist said it was caused by stress, but Mackintosh, who lives in Shrewsbury with her husband

and four children, didn’t believe it. “I said, ‘I really don’t think I have a stressful life. I love my life,’” she recalls. She decided to give up milk, her main beverage, and the eczema went away. She’s been drinking raw milk for four years now with no skin problems; her family goes through nearly a gallon a day. The Mackintoshes and Elliotts are examples of the increasing number of people who believe that raw milk has special nutritional and immune system ben>> 0 B

Raw Milk Regs • • • • • • •

Vermont farmers can sell fewer than 25 quarts of farmfresh milk per day to the “end user” of the product. Sales are limited to on-farm sales only. Farmers cannot advertise that they sell farm-fresh milk in any way, except by “word of mouth.” Farmers can supply the containers for the milk, and they can fill containers supplied by the customer. Farmers can have a refrigerator available with filled containers, but they cannot have a sign on the refrigerator indicating prices or availability of farm-fresh milk. The Agency of Agriculture has the authority to inspect farms and require sanitary practices. If the farmer violates the 25-quarts-per-day regulation, the Agency of Agriculture has the authority to fine the farmer up to $1000 per violation.

Rural Vermont recommends that customers purchasing raw milk look for the following farm practices: • Cows graze on pasture and are fed hay when in barns during winter. • Cows receive minerals as supplements or from mineralized soils and plants. • Grain feeding is a minor dietary component. • Teats of cows are clean and dry before milking. • Cows are milked in a clean barn or milking parlor. • Milk is kept chilled. • Farmers are working “in tune with nature” to ensure the absence of pathogens — i.e., cows are not pushed to produce large quantities of milk, soil is fertile, and cows live in a low-stress environment.

Big Chile’s Back . . . Almost A FRESH START FOR THE FUNKY FUSION OPERATION

Big Chile Republic was never easy to find on a map — or in the phone book, for that matter. Burlington’s erstwhile underground food-delivery service operated out of a residential kitchen for two and a half years before it closed up shop in May 2006. It was a sad day for food aficionados who had come to appreciate Chris Hechanova’s steak tacos with cilantro mojo delivered to their door. The good news is that Big Chile is coming back, this time with a real, physical location: in the Colchester strip-mall locale recently occupied by Junior’s. The eatery has also hired a “managing consultant.� Mark Gauthier of Red Square and Club Metronome fame helped craft the new incarnation of BCR, which adds sit-down dining and take-out to the original delivery concept. “Initially, we’re just going to have a small dining room,� Gauthier explains. “After we get everything worked out, we’ll open up a larger dining room upstairs.� Although many eateries fight for Burlington real estate, Gauthier claims that he and Hechanova believe a Queen City locale would actually limit their market. What was appealing about Colchester? “Being located near the highway, it really fit for us delivery-wise . . . so we could expand.� Gauthier is not sure when Big Chile will open. “The process has run into some snags,� he explains. October is the earliest hungry patrons can expect servings of Hechanova’s garlicky Filipino adobo chicken and cauliflower cakes with sweet pea coulis. Gauthier says that Hechanova’s cuisine �is a little bit difficult to describe. Chris has such a unique way of blending spices and herbs together.� Pressed, he called it “Spanish with Philippine and Asian influences.� Hechanova is one of a growing number of New England Culinary Institute dropouts who have stayed in Vermont and made it a tastier place. Until recently, he worked as sous-chef at the acclaimed Kitchen Table Bistro in Richmond. Kitchen Table owners Steve and Lara Atkins never finished at NECI, either.

Let ’Em Eat Cake SWEET TREATS ON THE RISE IN STOWE

When Michelle Hines says that she’s running a “cakeryâ€? and not a bakery, the 31-year-old isn’t just trying to be cute. At her soon-to-open business, located inside of soup ’n’ sandwich joint Jamie’s on Main in Stowe, you won’t find ĂŠclairs,

pies or croissants. “Wedding cakes are really my specialty,� says Hines, but she quickly adds that she’ll also offer “cakes by the slice� and whole cakes that customers can just come up and buy. Celebrating a birthday or anniversary? With 24 hours’ notice, she’ll do special orders, too. Hines, who studied “baking and pastry arts� at Johnson & Wales culinary school, was recently a pastry chef at Topnotch Resort and Spa, Spa also in Stowe. But after a year at the fancy lodge, she was ready to run her own biz. “I was just going to do it out of my house,� Hines explains, but Jamie Persky and Mark Rosman, Rosman owners of Jamie’s on Main, offered to let her work from their operation. “They’re very good friends,� she enthuses. At the opening on Thursday, she’ll serve up twists on traditional offerings, such as carrot cake with white chocolate cream cheese frosting and lemon layers filled with either “blueberry or caramel jam.� On the fancier side, there will be sexy sweets such as Hines’ almond espresso marjolaine, a decadent concoction of “yellow and chocolate layers soaked in espresso rum simple syrup, nestled between layers of almond meringue, chocolate ganache, espresso mousse and chocolate mousse.�

Hungry, Hungry Hardwick COMMUNITY-ORIENTED CUISINE COMING AT CLAIRE’S

They say too many chefs spoil the soup. Does the same go for investors? Using Robert Fuller’s Bobcat CafĂŠ as a model, four restaurateurs who call themselves the Hardwick Restaurant Group, LLC are seeking backers to supply $1000 each in exchange for that amount of food credit over the next four years. Taking a page from the successful CSA farming movement, the HRG is calling its effort a CSR, short for “community-supported restaurant.â€? The crew plans to open a friendly, neighborhood-oriented eatery named Claire’s, after deceased East Hardwick artist Claire Fern. Claire’s was going to open last March. That didn’t happen, but Linda Ramsdell, owner of the Galaxy Bookshop and one of four partners in the restaurant, is convinced that the second time will be the charm. Ramsdell and her three compadres — Mike Bosia, Steven Obranovich and Christina Michelson — are planning their grand opening celebration for Valentine’s Day. “We’re not thinking of it as the romantic, intimate Valentine’s Day fare but as a big community party,â€? relates Ramsdell. In August, the foursome called a community meeting to report out on their progress — construction on the fire-damaged Bemis Block, where Claire’s will be located, should be completed this November. Their other goal: to encourage the community to get involved. After the meeting, 15 attendees were impressed enough to commit a grand each to the CSR effort. As of press time, the group has found 30 of the 50 investors they’re hoping for. Additional financing will come from “other sources,â€? Ramsdell says.

efits that pasteurized milk does not. Proponents of raw milk say the pasteurization process kills valuable enzymes, vitamins and beneficial bacteria. Further, they claim that homogenization — the process of breaking down the fat cells so they are evenly distributed throughout — creates molecules the human body doesn’t know how to process. The implication is that run-ofthe-mill pasteurized and homogenized milk is an unnatural, maybe even unhealthy, cocktail

that bears little resemblance to the real thing. The Vermont Department of Health doesn’t see it that way, stating, “Research has shown that there is no meaningful nutritional difference between pasteurized and raw milk.” The FDA has also taken great pains to dispel what it believes are myths about pasteurized milk — notably that it causes lactose intolerance and allergic reactions and may contribute to heart disease. The truth about raw milk probably lies somewhere between the two extremes, with a handful of concessions and

exceptions offered by each side. For example, Tim Elliott would not drink raw milk from a grain-fed, commercially milked cow. Cows, he says, were not meant to eat grain — their stomachs just aren’t designed to process it. “They were created to eat grass, so that’s the way we intend to do it,” he asserts. Elliott is also of the opinion that commercial dairy farmers don’t have time to make sure each of their cows is as clean and healthy as it should be. “When you’re doing raw milk,” Elliott says, “you’ve got to make sure the animal’s healthy, and that

TeaT ToTaler Dairy farmers are getting almost twice as much money for liquid milk than they were a year ago. And while that’s good news for Vermont agriculture, the memory of bad times is still vivid. “Two thousand six was the year that nobody made money,” says Margaret Huessy-Laggis, a local spokesperson for the lobbying group Dairy Farmers Working Together. “Everybody was hurt; it didn’t matter how big or small or where you lived.” The solution, according to Huessy-Laggis, 45, of Hardwick and her cohorts, is a new plan to stabilize milk prices. The proposed addition to the federal Farm Bill would pool a fraction of farmers’ profits into a fund to prepare for lean times. Huessy-Laggis is a persuasive and experienced spokesperson for the industry. Although she doesn’t deal directly with chapped udders and piles of manure, she was married to a dairyman for 15 years and now makes her living as a contract lobbyist. Her lengthy resume starts with an ag degree from the University of Vermont. Huessy-Laggis worked for Senators Jeffords and Leahy in Washington “throughout the ’80s” and during the 1990 reauthorization of the Farm Bill, and here in Vermont she’s “done a tremendous amount of agricultural work,” she says. That includes lobbying for the U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company and groups vilified by the anti-GMO crowd, such as the Biotechnology Industry Organization and CropLife America, of which Monsanto and Syngenta are “proud members.” For dairy farmers in her native Vermont, though, Huessy-Laggis is offering her persuasive skills gratis. With the legislature not in session, she’s volunteering her time to speak out for the commodity milk crowd. “I have my own personal reasons for wanting to help, and I have a set of skills that I was willing to offer and that this group couldn’t have afforded,” she explains. Why aren’t the farmers doing all the talking themselves? “They’re much more articulate than I am,” she suggests diplomatically, “but much more nervous [around the media].” Last October, Huessy-Laggis was invited to the first meeting of Dairy Farmers Working Together (DFWT), which included farmers from Vermont, New York and New Hampshire. The gathering was prompted by intense frustration over the low prices of 2006, she says. That year, the price of milk dipped to about $11 per hundred pounds, or “hundredweight.” (This year, it’s up to around $20.) Caused by a surplus of merely 4 percent, the price drop affected farmers across the board, Huessy-Laggis says: “It’s the first time that everybody said, ‘I don’t want to visit this nasty train station again.’” Without seeing “anything on the horizon that was going to help them,” members of the DFWT decided to step up and offer their own solution. “The people that were meeting aren’t on the boards of any co-ops,” says Huessy-Laggis, referring to cooperative associations of dairies. “They hadn’t been tainted by 25 years of being unable to get a coalition together nationally. They didn’t have any of that baggage, just had the feeling that we want to try for something better.” Their proposed solution is a regulation mandating that dairy farmers put 13 cents per hun-

dredweight of milk they sell in a fund. That fund would be used to hire expert economic analysts and marketers who would forecast the fluctuations in the milk market for 12 to 18 months in the future, then work with farmers to manage the milk supply and with consumers to encourage consumption. Although the plan wouldn’t guarantee farmers a profit, Huessy-Laggis says, it would “help stabilize the price of milk so farmers could do some long-range planning.” She points out that even “a tiny little surplus can cause a drop in prices paid to farmers,” as in 2006. Right now, an organization called Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) does something similar on a voluntary basis, although it only collects 10 cents per hundredweight of milk sold. “Voluntarily, we haven’t gotten enough money from people to make CWT work,” Huessy-Laggis claims. “Only 67 percent of milk is covered. It hasn’t been a steady, successful participation program.” Under the new plan, farmers would no longer need to contribute to CWT, and their dime would go toward the 13 cents paid into the new pool. Most interested parties agree that the pricing problem needs a holistic solution, but bringing farmers nationwide to consensus is no picnic. “The dairy industry is made up of very independent people, so it’s been hard to come up with a nationally unifying kind of plan. It’s been very regionalized,” Huessy-Laggis says. But with public support from dairying groups in California, Florida and other states, she feels the group has a good chance of getting its proposal on the Farm Bill. “This is the only idea out there; there is nothing else,” she insists. “If dairy farmers want a change, they’re kind of in a position to work with us and make the plan the best it can be, or they can stick with the status quo.” While awaiting the outcome of the Farm Bill, what can local government do to help dairy farmers? In Huessy-Laggis’ mind, not much. She explains that, because most of our fluid milk is purchased by out-of-state entities, our own government “has little control. We’re the numberone exporter of dairy products per capita,” she continues. “In Maine, they consume almost everything they produce in the state. We [Vermonters] consume less than 10 percent of the milk produced in Vermont.” With a small population and a large number of dairy farmers per capita, Vermont also can’t collect enough tax dollars to bolster the farmers when times are rough. Huessy-Laggis suggests some ways to stabilize the price of milk over the long term might be to “retire herds of cows or expand overseas markets” — China, for instance, “looks like this huge empty pit of opportunity for dairy products,” she says. She’s not so optimistic about the potential of companies that make value-added products with Vermont milk, such as the Vermont Milk Company and the Kehler brothers of Jasper Hill Farm. While Huessy-Laggis appreciates such efforts, she says, their milk usage isn’t high enough to make a real difference. “They’re great additions, but they’re not going to be the bedrock of the community,” she opines. “We’ll always depend on milk as a commodity.” > — suzanne podhaizer

mmm you’re feeding it the right stuff.” The ag agency’s Moyer understands the Elliotts’ perspective. Moyer was raised on a dairy farm in Middletown Springs, where he drank unpasteurized milk growing up with no adverse consequences. Moyer acknowledges, “To this day, it’s almost a routine practice for farm families and their employees to consume raw milk that’s produced on the farm — it’s a longstanding tradition.” All the

milk — turns out to be a great source of income for family farms, since it’s a year-round commodity that fetches far more per gallon than pasteurized milk, and all the proceeds go directly to the farmers. In contrast, the long-standing milk-distribution system, wherein farmers sell their milk at a fixed rate to regional coops, involves a slew of middlemen. It also makes it next to impossible to buy pasteurized milk from the farm down the road.

farmers realize that it’s essential for customers to know the farm the milk comes from. Moyer has heard that Rural Vermont might try to introduce new raw-milk legislation in the upcoming term, and he prefers to see what they offer before commenting on it. But he knows where he stands today. “I’m not the policy maker for the agency — the secretary is,” he explains. “But if asked, my recommendation to him would

same, the ag agency is deeply concerned about food safety and is not willing to compromise its protection of public health. But what about public access to local food systems and economic justice for family farmers? That is what’s driving Amy Shollenberger, director of Montpelier-based Rural Vermont, to scrutinize current food-safety laws. Rural Vermont has been focusing on raw milk for more than two years now, and Shollenberger says she’s “seen a significant increase in people who call us” looking for it during that time. Raw milk — or, as Rural Vermont refers to it, “farm-fresh”

Health regulations limit the public’s access to raw milk, and Rural Vermont is angling to fix that over the next two years by lobbying the legislature. In general, Rural Vermont has three goals for the farmer: to be able to sell as much raw milk as he or she wants, to advertise its sale, and to deliver pre-purchased milk to customers via CSAs or farmers’ markets, or directly to their homes. “What we’re not asking for is retail sales of milk,” Shollenberger stresses. That’s because farmers say they don’t need it, and it would likely be prohibitively expensive to comply with retail sales regulations. Plus,

be that we not promote this activity, because of the public health risk.” Meanwhile, Rural Vermont has been field-testing its ideas for raw milk by way of a series of ice cream socials — with, of course, raw milk — this summer. The Elliotts made ice cream for the event at Wood’s Market Garden in Brandon in June and say the turn-out was “impressive.” Back on the farm, however, raw milk is almost always on the menu. Tim cracks a fresh container and pours a glass for a Seven Days reporter. The one-day-old white liquid is cold, creamy . . . and tastes just like milk. >

BLUES IN THE FACE

I woke up this morning. And then I went right back to bed. Oh, I woke up this morning. With the Devil in my head. You know my baby gave me a warning. But I just got drunk instead. Make it talk, son! It’s probably a good thing that I don’t write blues songs for a living. Fortunately, the Green Mountains are positively crawling with able-bodied, Delta-souled tunesmiths, so I don’t have to. Judging by my above attempt at bluesy lyricism, we can all be grateful for that. Another thing we should be grateful for is The Lincoln Inn. Regular readers are likely aware that over the last few years, the Five Corners watering hole has made a concerted effort to provide highquality entertainment for music fans outside of Burlington and this weekend might prove to be the venue’s crown jewel. Celebrating its third year, the Burlington Blues Fest has quietly built a reputation as one of the best musical celebrations of the year — in Essex Junction. Maybe we ought to rethink that name . . . Sponsored by WCLX — 102.9 FM, The Album Station — the two-night festival kicks off this Thursday with a star-studded lineup of local blues dudes, including guitar guru Paul Asbell, mountain-blues maestros The Eames Brothers, traditionalists Blue Fox & the Rockin’ Daddies and the estimable Kip Meaker Trio. While Thursday night’s free-for-all is, well, free for all, Friday night is the main event and carries a relatively hefty price tag — especially since there’s never been a ticketed event at The Lincoln Inn. But it’s with very good reason, as Grammy-nominated blues guitarist Tab Benoit takes the stage with fellow Louisiana blues-pop collective Leroux. Benoit is as genuine as they come and has garnered worldwide acclaim for his gritty yet virtuosic guitar work and songwriting. Local blues heroes The Nobby Reed Project open the show.

BLOOZE CRUISE If you haven’t had your fill of 12-bar progressions and booze-soaked laments after checking out the Burlington Blues Fest, head over to Finkerman’s Riverside Bar-B-Q in Montpelier — or at least the parking lot — this Sunday for yet another fun-filled day of face-melting guitar solos. This time with a side of pulled pork. The capital city festival is entering its second year and, in addition to performances from local blues magnates such as The Socket Rockets, The John Lackard Blues Band, The Willie Edwards Blues Band and The Dave Keller . . . um, Blues Band, the real draw might be the afternoon workshops in which aspiring bluesmen

and women can learn from the pros. Bring your guitar, a harmonica in the key of C and a loud Hawaiian shirt. Apparently that’s de rigueur fashion in the world of VT blues. Who knew?

GET ’EM YOUNG As the jam scene is still struggling to fully recover in the wake of Phish’s departure, it occurred to me that many one-time Phishheads are now starting to reproduce, spawning a whole new generation of wiggly jam fans. Perhaps we’ll call them smolt-heads? Or maybe not. In any event, groovy parents seeking a kid-friendly way to introduce rambling guitar jams to their offspring would do well to make their way to the Higher Ground Ballroom this Sunday afternoon as Brady Rymer and The Little Band That Could take the stage for a free performance as part of the Children’s Dimetapp Breathe & Boogie Tour. Rymer has been called “kindermusic’s Jerry Garcia.” Seriously. While I’m not sure that designation would endear him to most parents, I’m guessing the term refers to the former From Good Homes member’s brand of rootsinflected kiddie jam-rock. Or TAB BENOIT maybe he drinks a lot of Dimetapp and Robitussin. Either way, he’s all the rage in children’s music circles, and his tunes are probably palatable enough for parents, too. Ridin’ that train, high on paste . . . I guess it’s a good thing I don’t write children’s music, either.

JAMES KOCHALKA, MOVIESTAR Memo to James Kochalka: Dude, slow down. You’re making the rest of us look bad. In addition to being a successful musician, comic artist, painter and the author of a brand spankin’ new children’s book, Burlington’s consummate superstar can now add “actor” to his considerable resume. Details are a bit hazy — i.e., hard to find through a Google search — but Kochalka has landed a part in an independent film entitled Mars as the co-host of a futuristic infotainment-style news show. Playing Mary Hart to Kochalka’s John Tesh is none other than Liza Weil from the Fox TV melodrama “The Gilmore Girls.” The sci-fi flick is scheduled for completion sometime next year. From what little info is currently available, the film appears to be part motion picture, part graphic novel, and is employing some nifty

SATURDAY 9/22

experimental filming techniques to achieve the effect. I have no idea what “rotoscoping” is, but apparently that’s involved, too. As details emerge, I’ll be sure to let you know more. Until then, I imagine Mr. Kochalka will once again busy himself in some wildly original and successful fashion, putting the rest of us to shame. Thanks a lot, James.

CHOICE CUTS I don’t know if you folks have noticed, but we’re in the midst of one of the most exciting stretches in Burlington’s long and storied musical history. Last week, I gave you the rundown of some of the week’s best bets. And if you didn’t go see Feist, all I can say is that I told you so — twice. As terrific as last week’s musical slate was, this week’s might be even better. Frankly, I hardly know where to begin. Maybe I’ll just sidestep the whole issue and tell you to peruse this week’s RICHIE HAVENS club listings and get out of the house. But then, what kind of music writer would I be? A lazy one, I suppose. The lineups at the clubs are pretty self-explanatory — and freakin’ awesome — this week, but a couple of shows happening at unusual venues merit some attention. This Friday, ’60s folk icon Richie Havens will perform at the Vergennes Opera House. If you don’t know who Richie Havens is, put the paper down and call your parents. Right now. The man is legend, plain and simple. On the experimental side of the folk spectrum, San Francisco’s bohemian freak-folk auteur Devendra Banhart makes a stop at UVM’s Davis Center Grand Ballroom this Sunday on the heels of his brilliant new album, Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon. You can read even more about Banhart in this week’s calendar section. So that’s pretty much it. Get out and tune in. �

the hipster-chic epicenter that is Williamsburg is exhausting. Thankfully, two Brooklyn bands that could care less for such voguish vagaries are coming to town to help Burlington’s confused masses stay cool. Or not cool. Whatever. This Saturday,

The Brooklyn Revue swings by Radio Bean for a show featuring two of the finest anti-folk acts NYC has to offer: The Creaky Boards and the provocatively named Ching Chong Song. Both bands have drawn rave reviews for their unconventional approach to folk songwriting and their performances are notoriously off the wall. Leave your CBGB’s T-shirt at home.

reviewthis ROB MEEHAN, HERE

OKKERVIL RIVER, THE STAGE NAMES

(Self-produced, CD)

(Jagjaguwar, CD)

Most Vermonters who’ve seen local musician Rob Meehan perform live probably know him as the longtime bass player for singer-songwriter Patrick Fitzsimmons. But on his first solo release, entitled Here, Meehan shows he can do more than just play a mean bass; he can also play guitar and harmonica, sing, and write interesting songs. Though one song on Here was co-written by central Vermont honky-tonker Mark Legrand, the other nine are Meehan originals. Their primary motif: lyrics about love and relationships backed by catchy rhythmic grooves. Fitzsimmons produced the disc and also plays drums (as he once did in his rock band, From Good Homes). Meehan has also enlisted the ever-amazing Gordon Stone, who contributes his signature pedal steel as well as banjo on five songs, along with Vermont singer-songwriter Jay Ekis on bass and Dan Myers, Greg Izor, Lena Gilbert, Don Sternecker and Jeff Meehan on a variety of instruments and vocals. Veteran Wood’s Tea Company vocalist Howard Wooden engineers and sings backup. Like Fitzsimmons has on his own discs, Meehan has wisely mixed the music in a way that draws attention to his unique vocals — he has a high, reedy voice that eerily recalls Neil Young at times. This similarity is sometimes distracting, however. The beat, strumming style, harmonica work and those vocals make opening track “Peepers” — one of my personal faves — sound like an outtake from Harvest. Stone’s lonely pedal steel adds to the Neil Young effect on “Better Offer,” while “Get Out While You Can” even starts with that “Down By the River” chord progression. The title track is reminiscent of “That Old Laughing Lady.” All that said, the songwriting and arrangements provide enough original texture to keep the music interesting and help it rise above comparisons. Meehan celebrates Here at a CD release party featuring his entire backup band at the Middlesex Town Hall this Friday, September 21. The music begins at 7 p.m. ROBERT RESNIK

Beauty in human failings is a theme that has been explored countless times since the dawn of artistic expression. From Greek tragedy to Shakespeare to Appalachian dirges to good old-fashioned country murder ballads, the fatal flaws and inherent vulnerability of human existence is fertile territory for poetic examination — so much so that few dark corners of our fallible souls remain untouched. So how, then, does one breathe new life into subject matter so profoundly panoptic and, frankly, overdone? Write what you know, that’s how. With their fifth full-length album, The Stage Names, Austin’s avant-folk septet Okkervil River has crafted a majestic ode to the frailties of a subject no doubt near and dear to the hearts of many reading this review: musicians and scenesters. The album leads off with “Our Life Is Not a Movie or Maybe,” which could reasonably pass as a missing track from Elvis Costello’s brilliant pop opus, Brutal Youth. It’s a deftly constructed realization that, for all of our brooding metaphoric agony, problems we poetically inflate remain essentially just regular problems. In their words, “It’s just a house burning, but it’s not haunted.” The album twists and turns through stylistic changes but remains tightly coiled around its opening sentiment. The bouncy r&b-tinged “A Hand to Take Hold of the Scene” sounds like sad-sack Conor Oberst fronting early Camper van Beethoven. “Savannah Smiles” is a heart-rending lament of the pain one discovers upon realizing one’s child is no longer that person in tattered old photos. I don’t have kids, and after listening to this I’m not sure I want to. The album’s centerpiece is the following track, “Plus Ones,” which gracefully weaves quirky pop references around the pitiable story of an aging scene hanger-on. “And no one wants a tune about the 100th luftballoon / that was seen shooting from the window of your room, to be a spot against the sky’s colossal gloom / and land, deflated, in some neighbor state that’s strewn with 99 others.” It’s the sort of song that Old 97’s front man Rhett Miller wishes he could still write. Okkervil River approach their subjects with incisive wit and affectionate understanding. You know these people. You’ve seen them at the clubs, in the coffee shops, sifting through the used bin of the fading indie record store. Perhaps you’re one of them. One of us. If so, you’d do well to pick up a copy of The Stage Names. Better yet, you could commiserate with the band and any scenesters with enough cash for a ticket this Monday at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge, where Okkervil River plays with idiosyncratic singer-songwriter Damien Jurado. We’re all getting older. Now we have the soundtrack. DAN BOLLES

SEVEN DAYS | september 19-26, 2007 | music 15B

An Open Letter to President Bush If you won’t come to Vermont, perhaps we’ll come to you. BY DAN BOLLES Dear President Bush, I know you’re not much of a reader, so I’ll try and keep this short and sweet and avoid using as many multisyllabic words as possible — at the risk of sounding like, well, you. So, the war thing . . . how’s that working out for you, really? According to Fox News, everything is just fine and dandy and we should all go back to shopping and driving big cars with Korean-made magnetic ribbons plastered all over the bumpers. I’m more of a public-radio guy myself, so, as much as I’d like to believe that, I have to admit I’m a bit skeptical. OK, I’m a lot skeptical. It’s not that I don’t love America — I do. And I’m pretty keen on freedom, too. In fact, I think most people who live here feel similarly. We just question the wisdom of engaging in a war with no clear objectives, no clear exit strategy and practically no global support. Oh, and there is that pesky issue of finding Osama bin Laden. Hint: He’s probably not in Iraq. But that’s a topic for another letter. Today, I’m writing to introduce you to a group of people I’m not sure you’re familiar with. Since you signed the orders to send them into harm’s way, you really should be. I know you’re not big on dissenting opinion, but these men and women actually spent time on the ground fighting your war, and I have to say, they’re none too happy with you at the moment. They call themselves Iraq Veterans Against the War. There are a lot of them and they have some remarkable stories to tell. You like stories, don’t you, Sir? You might not like these, I’m afraid. But it’s terribly important that you listen. For example, listen to the story of soldier Tomas Vincent Young, who was paralyzed from the chest down in the same battle that Cindy Sheehan’s son, Casey, lost his life. You remember Mrs. Sheehan, don’t you? I could go on, but I fear I might be losing your interest. Let’s talk about music, shall we? Enclosed you will find a copy of a wonderful new compilation called A Line in the Sand. The disc was put together by an enterprising young woman named Bridget Burns, the founder

and owner of a small independent record label here in Vermont called Wyld Stallions Records, LLC. And, yes, sir, that is a reference to the movie Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure — no doubt one of your favorites. In the interest of full disclosure, Ms. Burns is also a coworker of mine here at Seven Days newspaper. But don’t let that distract you from what I’m about to tell you. You need to give this album a spin. The opener, a slam poetry piece from Andrea Gibson entitled “For Eli” is especially moving. There’s a lot of talk about God and prayer, so I imagine that’ll pique your interest. It might cause you to reconsider your particular approach to Christianity, though. Just to warn you. The next track, d_Cyphernauts’ “You Got Your War,” actually features you quite prominently, Mr. Bush. Do you remember saying, “You’re free, and freedom is beautiful. But it will take time to restore chaos and order”? You did, and it’s all right here. The song’s pretty good, too. I think you’ll like it. After that is a stunning track from a semi-local musician, Moses Atwood, called “Wildflowers.” He writes about the toll your war is having on the families involved — American and Iraqi. Since your daughters aren’t serving, it might be a good idea for you to listen so you can understand what you’re putting these people through. In fact, the album is chock full of ideas and sentiments that you’d do well to consider, delivered in a variety of styles and genres that should please almost every taste — except the Toby Keith crowd, I suppose. My personal favorites are Ryan Harvey’s Phil Ochs-style condemnation, “Search and Avoid,” and the Ochs tribute, “Here’s to the State of Things” by Witt Wisebram. You remember Phil Ochs, don’t you, Mr. Bush? He was very popular when you were weaseling out of service during the Vietnam War. Anyway, I know I’m rambling on a bit, but I feel strongly that you could learn a thing or two from this record and the soldiers it benefits. In fact, I’d say you owe it to the soldiers you so cavalierly sacrifice behind the banner of democracy. It’s the least you could do — though I realize you’ve set the bar pretty low. In closing, I’d like to invite you to the Vermont release of

the CD at The Monkey House in Winooski — that’s a small town next to Burlington — this Thursday with In This Century, Slug’s Revenge and Whiskey Smile. The first two bands feature prominently on the disc. I know you’re not too enthusiastic about visiting our fair state — Vermont really is a state; look it up — but I think you’ll find we have some very passionate folks with interesting thoughts about your foreign-policy decisions. Since the CD release party is a benefit, we can’t put you on the guest list, but I’d be happy to buy you a beer. I wonder if they still have Magic Hat’s Jeezum Jim on tap? Hope to see you there. Sincerely, Dan Bolles P.S. If Dick Cheney needs a copy of A Line in the Sand, please don’t let him burn yours. He can go online and purchase his own at www.wyldstallionsrecords.com. Or, better yet, at any of Vermont’s fine independent record stores, should you folks find yourselves in the area. �

father of invention Biographies of Benjamin Franklin make it sound as if the founding father fit eight separate lives into one. And folks who happen to run into Franklin this week can be forgiven for thinking he’s still among the living. In a nationally touring production, veteran character actor Burdette Parks portrays the quintessential American personality where he felt most comfortable — in his print shop. When he wasn’t busy setting type, writing proverbs or being a scientist, statesman, economist or musician, Franklin tinkered with homemade devices such as bifocals, the odometer, his eponymous heating stove and the lightning rod. Expect musings that range from Franklin’s earnest outpouring of support for the Constitution to twinkly-eyed observations about his love of women. ‘Benjamin Franklin, Printer, Etc.’

It’s easy to challenge America’s crony-rich elected establishment from your couch. Last Friday at St. Mike’s, Vermonters learned how to do it at political events. For more than two hours, a 20-person crowd of college students and community members received lessons in the art of “bird dogging” — i.e., asking aggressive questions of impressionable political candidates. Topic of the day? Global health, or the lack thereof. First to speak was Leanne Rios, a New Mexico organizer from the White River Junction-and-Washington, D.C.-based Global Health Council. According to Rios, who wore dress pants and a sash, average Joes and Janes still hold sway over their congressional representatives. Her Power Point presentation featured a procession of faceless digital stick figures. Congressional folk “welcome hearing from their constituents, no matter whether you’re old or young,” she said at one point. “Wait — do you guys know what a constituent is?” The next presentation, by Jennifer Flynn of the New York-based Health Global Access Project, offered some actual bird-dogging tips. “When are people weak?” she asked rhetorically. “When they’re vulnerable. And when are they vulnerable? When they’re running for office.” After relaying some anecdotes from the 2004 election, Flynn moved behind a podium and pretended to be Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani. “Come on, everyone loves me, I’m America’s mayor, ask me some questions!” yelled the radical activist. Siham Elhamoumi, a 22-year-old organizer with the Vermont Global Health Coalition, stood up. “Eight thousand people die every day of AIDS worldwide,” she began. “Would you support $50 billion in funding for HIV/AIDS over five years?” “Giuliani” scratched his head. “Actually,” the faux contender confessed, “I’m here to discuss security issues.” MIKE IVES

KEEPING SCORE Earlier this year, 16 young, Boston-based musicians on the cusp of prestigious careers decided something was missing from their respective musical milieux, and started rehearsing together. The result? A Far Cry, a tightly knit group that plays with precise passion and exuberance, blending the intimacy of chamber music with the oomph of an orchestra — all accomplished sans conductor. Jesse Irons, a violinist and native of Berlin, Vermont, brings “the Criersâ€? to his home state for two concerts that accompany Arvo Pärt’s hypnotic, shadowy “Fratresâ€? and Tchaikovsky’s radiant Serenade for Strings in C Major with musicappropriate mood lighting. Montpelier flutist Karen Kevra joins the classical up-and-comers for a concerto by Johann Joachim Quantz.

PUP TALK Let’s face it — pugs look kind of ridiculous. So much so that in May, The Onion lampooned the flat-faced dogs in a fake story about a “recall” of 2007 “models” based on flaws such as, well, trouble breathing. Originally bred as lapdogs for Chinese emperors, pugs require a bit more care than your average canine, but their huge personalities and social natures more than make up for it. Closet fans of the wrinkle-headed, bug-eyed breed can show their puppy love at Green Mountain Pug Rescue’s fifth annual fest. (Proceeds fund veterinary care and adoptions for fawn, apricot, black or silver “mops” in need of good homes.) Be warned: An über-cute costume contest and pug-of-war races may inspire you to pony up for a new pet. Pug Social

POP & CIRCUMSTANCES People who’ve seen Devendra Banhart on YouTube, dancing around in his underwear, have a good sense of how the lanky folk-rocker rolls. He came to fame via a 2002 album that he recorded while hobo-ing around the world — mostly on friends’ answering machines. His subsequent output, a mix of eccentric acoustic warblings and avant-garde experimentation, has been described as indie-folk and “New Weird American.” On his new album, Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon, the neo-hippie poet and singer-songwriter pairs solo acoustic numbers with psych-folk songs, backed by an electric outfit unafraid to shake freedom chimes, bow a psaltery or bang on pot lids. Banhart and his band gig in UVM’s brand-new student center, sandwiched between shows in Montréal and Boston. Catch him if you can. DevenDra Banhart

Mistress

Maeve

Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust! Dear Mistress Maeve, I just started dating a guy from my office. We haven’t slept together yet, but I hope it happens soon! A couple months before we started dating, I overheard him and another male coworker discussing grooming habits, specifically how they prefer women’s pubic hair to be kept. I heard my guy say that he prefers “hardwood floors.” I’m assuming this means he prefers it completely shaven. I’ve never shaved my area. Any tips, Mistress? Sasha

Dear Sasha, I’m feeling a bristle, and it isn’t from your pubic hair. Just because he prefers hardwood floors doesn’t mean you have to give up your wall-towall shag. Before you remodel, make sure it’s what you want. If you decide to move forward with the hardwood, follow these six easy steps until you develop your own technique. 1. Trim your pubic hair with small scissors. This will remove a great deal of hair and save on the disposable razors. You may want to do this while straddling the toilet. 2. Take a long, hot bath or shower. The heat and water will soften the hair, making it easier to shave. 3. Take your position. I prefer sitting on the side of the tub, but you may find a position you like better. 4. Apply shaving cream or gel liberally to the entire area and let it sit for a minute. The shaving cream will also soften the hair. Be sure to choose a cream or gel for sensitive skin. 5. Start shaving. Using a disposable razor with an aloe strip, begin shaving from your bikini line to your labia. Pubic hair grows in all directions; don’t be afraid to go with and against the grain. Rinse your razor frequently, and take your time around the more sensitive areas. If possible, position a mirror so you can better see what you’re doing. 6. Rinse and condition. Once you’re satisfied with the hair removal, rinse the area and apply witch hazel or aloe to combat razor burn and unsightly ingrown hairs. Follow these steps, and you’ll be freshly shorn in no time. Just remember to take your time — razor nicks and uneven hair are not hot. Oh, and one last thing — whatever you do with your bush, please don’t talk about it in your office. Inappropriate talk like that can get you into a hairy situation at work.

Call for more information 802-279-0231. COMING OUT FROM WITHIN A creative-based drama group for those experiencing a need for connecting with Self and others. 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.
