Dear Cecil, In 2002 you said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Long a target of fringe groups, fluoridation is widely considered one of the great publichealth achievements of the last century.â&#x20AC;? My wife has shown me a lot of Internet back-and-forth suggesting a host of problems that can be blamed on fluoridation. Some say fluoride is industrial waste and that the mining industry duped us into thinking itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthy so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want it in our water. So is fluoride deadly or healthy, or do we just not know? James B., Columbia, Maryland

â&#x2DC;&#x2026;

Oh, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a pretty fair idea. Fact is, like a lot of things (Tylenol and water come to mind), fluoride can be either good or bad for you depending on how much you get. In small amounts the stuff is definitely salubrious. Though a few holdouts still argue, most research Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen credits fluoridation with the sharp drop in tooth decay seen throughout the developed world over the past 40 years. In the U.S., 67 percent of those drinking public water get fluoride in it and tooth decay has fallen 68 percent since the late â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s, leading the Centers for Disease Control to call water fluoridation one of the top 10 public-health achievements of the 20th century. Too much of a good thing, on the other hand â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking milligrams per kilo of body weight, not gallons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got problems, ranging from stained teeth and upset stomach to death. Although fluorideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to healthy teeth had been suspected earlier, the guy chiefly responsible for getting people to focus on the usefulness of having it in drinking water is Dr. Frederick McKay, who in 1909 began investigating a tooth discoloration so common among residents of Colorado Springs that it was known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Colorado brown stain.â&#x20AC;? After peering into the mouths of nearly 3,000 kids in the area and finding that 87 percent had stained teeth, McKay and colleagues went on to establish that (a) such teeth were unusually resistant to serious cavities and (b) the cause of both phenomena was the naturally high fluoride level in the local water supply. After further research showed that one part per million of fluoride in drinking water reduced tooth decay with minimal risk of stained teeth, Grand Rapids, Michigan, became the first city to artificially fluoridate its water in 1945. Thousands of other municipalities have done so since. For years antifluoridationists were mainly paranoids who thought it was all a Bolshevik plot. Today theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still paranoid, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve polished up their arguments. A sample: 1. Fluoride is industrial/mining waste. Fluorosilicic acid, a common fluoridating agent, is a by-product of phosphate fertilizer production, and phosphates are mined, so technically I guess you could say fluoride is mining waste. Big deal. Lots of useful commodities are made as a by-product of other processes, such as gypsum from burning coal and molasses from sugar refining. The suggestion that fertilizer tycoons have suckered the country into fluoridating drinking water to simplify disposal of their toxic waste is, to be gentle, a reach.

If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be... pizza. I lived outside of Chicago for 10 years, need I say more? Locally, I have a soft spot for Zachary’s.

on a Saturday night you will most likely find me... at home with my wife, a nice dinner, a glass of wine and a movie. In the summer, at Al’s with my son for a creemie.

Growing up I always wanted to be... normal.

Favorite movie: Chinatown.

The best part about winter is... shoveling, belowzero temps, ice and slush, freezing rain, blinding snow, wind chill. It’s hard to pick just one. Favorite book: Harold and the Purple Crayon.

Something that people are surprised to find out about me... I taught aerobics back in the early ‘90s.

If I could have dinner with any famous person, dead or alive, I would choose... my 12-year-old son (he’s only famous to me).

If I had a million dollars I would... get my wife the house she really wants, fund my retirement and give some to charity.

my weirdest superstition: I never leave in the morning without kissing my wife, because you never know.

Call of the Wild Can environmentalism and exhibitionism coexist?

I STORY

JUDITH LEVINE

t’s thrilling to watch people pulling together against global warming. Fights and fissures lie ahead. But a green Christmas from St. Louis to St. Petersburg has, for this panicked moment, inspired some previously unimaginable alliances. Businesspeople are lying down with regulators, Democrats with Republicans, religious fundamentalists with scientists. Amateur porn stars with Amazon Indians. I refer to Fuck for Forest, the brain(and bod-) child of a pretty, young Norwegian couple named Leona Johansson and Tommy Hol Ellingsen, who describe their project as “concerned humans” who “use their sexuality and love to direct attention to and collect money for the earth’s threatened nature.” Fuckforforest.com, founded in 2004, is an “ecological porn site.” It recruits tree-hugging exhibitionists to donate photos and videos of their pleasure-taking, signs up subscribers at $15 a month, and sends the proceeds to rainforest conservation and reforestation efforts in Ecuador, Costa Rica and Brazil. For a site dedicated to wild nature, FFF is pretty tame. Skinny, pierced and tattooed white people cavort in leafy settings. The occasional vegetable is introduced, as is mild fetishism. In one video, Leona in a blue wig employs an enormous leek to flagellate another woman. On the homepage, a woman in a gas mask kneels before a floating

endless escalation. On the other side are the discourses of restraint, where environmentalism resides. Here, need — as opposed to desire — and limited resources are assessed; a just and sustainable balance of the two is sought. Economically, restraint is closer to socialism than to capitalism, or at least to regulated capitalism than to unfettered free markets. If the pleasure people’s Utopia is Dionysian, the restrainers’ is Apollonian. It seeks satisfaction in rational moderation, and in saving some for later. Sustainability is by defi There are aesthetic differences between the two, as well as a kind of culture-nature divide. Broadly speaking, the pleasure politicos embrace technology, fashion, the contemporary arts, media, speed, novelty. The restrainers prefer the rural; they like slow processes, durable, old things, things that are born, not made. John Muir, co-founder of the Sierra Club and widely seen as the father of American environmentalism, found spiritual and emotional succor in nature. Like many of his successors, he had less use for the products of human imagination. “One day’s exposure to mountains,” he wrote, “is better than a cartload of books.” Neither side is monolithic or doctrinaire. Indeed, pleasurites are often critical of the consumer economy, especially its inexorable imperative to grow, obsolesce and discard. But they also take in stride the contribution that commerce makes to culture and community, identity and sexuality. Transpeople, for instance, are not above shopping the surgical and pharmaceutical mart to create bodies that match their selfimages. And activists like FFF, the casu-

books and you get the gist. So it was into this little DMZ that Fuck for Forest innocently stepped. There they discovered . . . a market niche! Green wankers! In its first year, 2004, the site raked in $100,000. Then FFF got stranded on one shore of the divide. No mainstream environmental organization would take their money. WWF (formerly the World Wildlife Fund) in Norway and the Netherlands declined. “[W]e cannot connect our brandname and logo to certain sectors of industry,” read the latex-protected prose of the latter. A San Francisco reporter calling American environmental organizations for comment on FFF

is morality when people are destroying the world?” Tommy asked the San Francisco reporter. The real obscenity, his comment suggested, is the rape of the emerald forests. But, good at getting it up again and again, FFF trekked south and found warm welcome among biologists and indigenous activists laboring to save both the nature and culture of the Amazon. Maybe these new beneficiaries are more relaxed about sex. Or maybe they just can’t afford to be picky. Who’s right? In one sense, both. The important tension between the two — restraint politics focus on the public good, pleasure politics on the rights and desires of the individual — is almost

chainsaw. It’s all rather . . . Norwegian. But Fuck for Forest is also an unprecedented hybrid. Leona and Tommy probably don’t know it, but their project represents the bridging of a historic divide between two political discourses, two heretofore separate spheres of activism. If we are going to save the Earth, it’s a gap worth closing. On one side of the divide are the discourses of desire — the politics of sexual liberation and personal freedom. These are the values of the Age of Revolutions, including our own, with its inalienable right to pursue happiness. For better or worse, they’re also the values of capitalism, with its confederate desire, its promise gratification, and its job to cycle the two in

al heirs of category-smashing movements from Pop Art to pro-sex feminism, regard as academic the lines between commercial and fine art, or porn and erotica. For their part, some of the most sophisticated restrainers — such as Adbusters or Reverend Billy, whom I wrote about last month — humorously, even affectionately, twist the tropes of the mainstream media and use it to get the message across. But there’s a strain of moral environmentalism that would throw the baby out with the gray water — that is, the imaginative, juicy, fun aspects of consumer culture with its devastating consequences. For such people, it’s not enough to love your bicycle; you have to hate your TV, too. It’s not enough to buy less and buy green; you have to condemn the whole enterprise of shopping as a crime and a sin and look down on shoppers (yourself included) as advertising-addled, instant-gratification-addicted zombies. Substitute a cartload of DVDs for Muir’s cartload of

met with “terse brushoffs.” You could charge the envirocrats with plain prudery. Giving them more credit, you could countenance their worries that some constituents might consider FFF a pack of exploiters, even sexual assailants of women. But sex itself, even sexism, was probably not the whole of it (for one thing, many of FFF’s models are men). Nor could these organizations have honestly objected to hawking product. After all, WWF Netherlands was defending not its principles but its pocketbook — its “brandname and logo,” metaphor of both. Seems to me that what made FFF’s lucre so filthy was the site’s cheerful marriage of sex and money. While Tommy and Leona were trilling about nature (sex) teaming up with nature (forests), their critics saw the commercial exploitation of naked bodies and the commercial exploitation of rainforests as a cynical alliance: Both despoil sacred nature for profit. In response to these snubs, FFF expressed bemused exasperation. “What

Way Beyond Poutine Montréal’s oddest restos offer cuisine with color — or in the dark

f this island city on the St. Lawrence has a quirky, nonconformist style, it’s largely thanks to the countless eateries that serve up personality along with their solid square meals. Parts of the burg boast an oddball joint on every STORY corner; flaky foodie joints are so pre& IMAGES KRISTIAN dominant that city dwellers are occaGRAVENOR sionally bedazzled by the boring. Case in point: When a Taco Bell opened recently, curious customers lined up for hours to get a predictable taste. Here, independently owned restaurants have fought back against the influx of menu multinationals. As a result, some downtown burger joints such as McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s have recently closed, while more interesting indies have sprouted up. In some of them, kooky cuisine is king, and the recipe seems to be working. Québec restaurant industry officials report several straight years of 5 percent growth. Those steady profits have led many an intrepid entrepreneur to transform that twinkle-in-the-eye into a real place to lay down tablecloth. Here’s a small but tasty sampling of some spots where a visitor may be able not just to chow down but to have an unforgettable experience.

chance to,” Alameddine explains. “Now their handicap has been transformed into a requirement at our institution.” The 10 waiters are thoroughly familiar with the lay of the land where they sightlessly transport meals from kitchen to table. Waiters must also escort anyone wishing to use the toilet. And yes, the bathroom is illuminated, as is the kitchen. Customers have the option of not knowing what they’re eating. “To go all the way with the experience, you should order the surprise,” says Alameddine. “It’s the chef ’s choice. Only when the customers finish do we tell them what they just had.” Turns out it’s not that easy to recognize food when you can’t feast your eyes on it. In general, the fare is Italian, French or Mediterranean. Alameddine ran a Lebanese place in a downtown food court for a few years before he spent some time in Lebanon and returned to Montréal, this time aiming to do something new. “Previously I was in fast food, and that’s a completely different line of business,” he says. “I thought we should do something different, because everything is franchises and nobody is thinking about concepts anymore . . .

furtively snuggle up. One young female journalist confesses that her table of mischievous ladies removed their shirts for a recent meal. She says the unusual situation inspired some randy impulses, but in the end the experience was pithier than she had anticipated. “The food wasn’t anything exceptional, but the overall experience was beautiful,” she says. “I felt like crying afterwards.”

In some of the new restaurants, kooky cuisine is king, and the recipe seems to be working. Whatever grown-ups might do at O. Noir, the place is also a hit with kids. “We explain to children that it’s totally dark and the servers are blind, and you will have to trust them to be your eyes,” says Alameddine. “The kids get excited — they want to take pictures with the blind servers.”

O. NOIR It’s hard to say what this place near the bustling corner of Guy and St. Catherine looks like. Many have eaten here, but none have actually seen the dining room. There are no candles, and it’s unknown whether any light bulbs roost overhead. This cozy place gives new meaning to “intimate.” It may be the only restaurant in North America where diners eat in the dark. That’s right, dark. Patrons enter a lit area where they are asked to store their cellphones in lockers and place their orders. Then they are guided by a server into a room as black as a raven’s tail. What’s more, the waiters are blind or visually impaired. Owner Moe Alameddine got this dim idea after visiting two similar eateries in France and Switzerland. O. Noir’s seats have been regularly filled ever since he turned on the stove and turned off the lights. “The customers love it. In French they say chapeau bas [hats off ],” he says. Diners also like the restaurant because it serves a good cause as well as meals. “I have hired some visually impaired people who had a dream of working in a restaurant but never had a

bring concept, design and good food all in one.” The restaurant certainly saves on decoration. Although customers will never know for sure, the dining room is reportedly presentable. “It’s nothing fancy, because it’s dark,” Alameddine says, “but that doesn’t mean there’s holes in the walls.” Meals run around $30 to $40 for a two- or three-course meal; 5 percent of profits benefit associations for the blind. Demand at the restaurant has been outrageous, so reservations are recommended. “We’re planning to expand, but it’s not easy,” says Alameddine. “It’s not like any other restaurant, because it takes a lot of effort to train the servers. It’s a big process feeding 55 people in the dark.” The occasional client may get a bit claustrophobic, but most are enthralled by the combination of sensory deprivation and stimulation. “Everything is heightened — your taste, your hearing. People end up speaking louder without even noticing it; all of the senses are on full alert,” reports Alameddine. Customers have also been known to take advantage of the darkness and

owners’ daughter; she also handles propaganda for the eatery. “It’s mostly meat that we serve — it’s not really a place for a vegetarian,” she warns. “Russians put sour cream on everything, and we serve lots of it.” The décor is heavy on Soviet symbols. Uncle Joe Stalin stares down from every side with menacing eyes aglow, and there’s no escape from the motif,

NOIR, 1631 St. Catherine W., 514-937-9727 Open nightly; seatings at 5:45 p.m. and 9 p.m. www.onoir.com RESTAURANT KREMLIN Half a century ago, downtown Montréal’s restaurant scene exploded with the arrival of Soviet émigrés. The new establishments, mostly Hungarian soup-and-sandwich shops, hosted patrons who groaned and blustered about the evils of the Iron Curtain. It’s backlash time, Babushka! Some former Soviets have been getting their restaurant revenge here since last July, when a full-fledged Staliniststyled restaurant began serving beef Stroganoff, hot borscht and vareneke (a.k.a. pirogies) to the urban lumpenproletariat. Owners Elena and Dmitry Shteingold formerly ran a Russian bar, but it went out of business after the Québec government declared indoor smokers to be enemies of the people. This Kremlin relies on family recipes to please its customers, according to Comrade Violeta Shteingold, 20, the

given that tablecloths are adorned with hammers and sickles intertwining. The Shteingolds, who come from Russia’s Black Sea area, hope they can reverse somewhat justified stereotypes about bad service in Soviet restaurants. Considering the state of eateries in Poland and East Germany during the mid-1980s, the couple’s standards may not need to be that high. One diner on a recent lunch break from the nearby International Civil Aviation Organization confessed he wasn’t thrilled with the service. “It’s a fun, interesting ambiance, it’s unique, and you won’t find anything like this place,” promises Shteingold, who left Russia as a toddler soon after the collapse of the U.S.S.R. The restaurant offers a wall of windows overlooking nearby Victoria Square, at the foot of the hill that divides the old city from downtown. On Friday and Saturday evenings, the Kremlin is awash in mayhem that includes various entertainments, ranging from magicians to Russian singers to karaoke. The Kremlin is a great place to practice your Russian singing and chat with sailors sampling small — or very large — amounts of vodka.

GRYPHON Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;OR It could take a lifetime to sample the culinary delights of villages in Ireland, Scotland and England.

Barnes or Bust An Old North End elementary school woos prospective parents

rom all appearances, Lawrence Barnes Elementary School is struggling. The aging building sits across from a Renta-Center on North Street in Burlington’s Old North End. The vast STORY majority of its students live in poverty. CATHY Roughly 20 percent of them are still RESMER learning to speak English. As a group, Barnes students consistently score lower IMAGES on standardized tests than their peers in MATTHEW other parts of the district. THORSEN Take the 2006 Developmental Reading Assessment, for example. Second graders from Burlington’s Edmunds Elementary School had an easy time with the test; 91 percent of them met or exceeded the state standards. The majority — 64 percent — achieved honors. At Barnes, more than half of the second graders failed the test. Thirty-one percent actually scored in the lowest possible range, with just six percent making honors. Assessment results like these give Barnes a bad rap. So much so that many middle-class parents who live nearby choose to send their children elsewhere —by applying for a variance to another Burlington school, enrolling the kids in a private school, or moving out of the neighborhood altogether. Dovetail, the district’s K-2 mini-magnet program at Edmunds Elementary School, also draws Old North End youngsters out of the neighborhood. It’s difficult to calculate just how many potential students Barnes loses each year, but anecdotal evidence suggests the number is significant. It seems

to implement a fix — they’ve embarked on a grassroots socio-economic integration campaign of their own. Instead of hoping to appeal to outsiders, Barnes boosters are trying to persuade Old North End residents to give the neighborhood school a chance. Leading the charge is Barnes’ energetic and relentlessly cheerful principal, Paula Bowen. A slight, shorthaired woman with a ready smile, Bowen claims her school’s bad reputation is undeserved. “Really,” she says, “I think it’s a PR problem.” Bowen touts Barnes as a diamond in the rough, and encourages parents to look past the school’s tarnished appearance to see the unique opportunities it offers. She points out that because it’s the smallest of the city’s six elementary schools — this year its K-5 classrooms serve between 150 and 160 students — Barnes offers small classes with low student-teacher ratios. That means teachers and staff get to know every student, lending the school a “family-like atmosphere,” as she puts it. Bowen claims her school’s low test scores are misleading — skewed by the school’s burgeoning refugee and immigrant population. Just a few English Language Learners can have a dramatic effect on test scores. Even when the ELL kids make significant progress, if they’re not at grade-level, the tests won’t show it. “It’s no fault of these students,” she says, “but I don’t think that it’s realistic to think that after being in the country for a year, you’re going to be

We were doing what any other middleclass family in this neighborhood does — we were leaving. We said, “97 percent poverty? That’s not something we want to be a part of.” KIRSTEN BERGGREN, OLD NORTH END PARENT that every Barnes parent or staff member knows someone who’s opting out. Barnes kindergarten teacher Shannon Roesch says her neighbor, who works for the district, applied for a variance to send his kids to Edmunds. “I don’t want to take it personally, because it’s not about that,” she says. “But it’s hard.” A school-board-appointed task force recently suggested that the students at Barnes and H.O. Wheeler — the other Old North End elementary school — would benefit from having more middle-class students in their midst. This spring, the school board will likely consider socio-economic integration proposals that will include plans to attract kids into the Old North End from other parts of the city. They may even call for closing Barnes, an option that’s been hotly debated in the past. But Barnes parents and administrators aren’t waiting for the school board

proficient in English.” She doesn’t see the school’s ethnic diversity as a liability, however, but as one of its biggest assets. Here students from a predominantly white, homogenous state can interact regularly with kids from other cultures. They learn that “you can all get along,” says Bowen. The principal also praises the Barnes teachers, and says that many of the “innovative” approaches promoted at the Dovetail program were actually instituted first at Barnes — multi-age classrooms, for example, and the Responsive Classroom curriculum, a holistic educational approach which integrates academic and social learning. She notes that Barnes was profiled last November in the national Responsive Classroom newsletter. “What is it that people think we don’t have?” she asks with a hint of exasperation. In her mind, all of the school’s assets

add up to an engaging learning environment. She says she’d be willing to send her two young children to Barnes, though she and her partner live in the Wheeler neighborhood, and may end up sending their kids there. “Barnes,” she says, summing up, “is what you think of when you think of an elementary school.” Getting prospective parents to think of Barnes that way isn’t easy. The best strategy, Bowen insists, is to get them to visit the school and see for themselves. To that end, the school and the PTO have sponsored an open house on a recent Wednesday night. They’ve invited neighborhood parents to tour the school and meet the staff — as well as enthusiastic Barnes parents and their kids — before the March kindergarten registration deadline. Kirsten Berggren and Robyn Battaile are among the parents greeting visitors in the lobby. They’re valuable ambassadors for Bowen, who is a passionate and articulate — but ultimately, paid professional — advocate for Barnes. It seems more likely that volunteers such as Berggren and Battaile will ultimately make the sale to other parents. The couple lives on Drew Street with their two young children. Two years ago, when their son Kyle was about to enter kindergarten, they applied for a variance to Edmunds. They did it in part because Battaile teaches history at Edmunds Middle School. But Berggren admits that Edmunds’ higher test scores were also a factor. “We were making classist assumptions, and thinking that Edmunds would be a better school,” says Berggren, a writer and lactation counselor who has a Ph.D. in anatomy and neuroscience. “We were doing what any other middle-class family in this neighborhood does — we were leaving. We

said, ‘97 percent poverty? That’s not something we want to be a part of.’” But when their son’s variance was denied, the couple did end up sending him to Barnes. They were surprised by how much they liked it; they plan to send their daughter to the school as well. “Ky had such a positive kindergarten experience,” Berggren gushes. “The quality of teaching has been outstanding. We are so happy.” Battaile agrees. He was particularly impressed when Bowen called them to introduce herself before they’d even enrolled their son in the school — she knew the names of all the Barnes students on their street. He adds that he loves the fact that his son is a part of such a multicultural environment. “That type of education is going to be rooted and grounded in reality for a long, long time,” he says. Twenty minutes after answering questions from a reporter, Berggren and Battaile are in Shannon Roesch’s kindergarten classroom, chatting with Andy Jones and Helen Rock. Jones and Rock are exactly the kind of parents Barnes is hoping to attract. Jones is the farm manager at the Intervale Community Farm; Rock does part-time office work. They own their house on LaFountain Street. The couple knows people in the Old North End who home-school their kids, or send them to the Schoolhouse, a private, K-6 parent-teacher cooperative in South Burlington. They know others who have moved away in search of better public education. Jones and Rock have two boys. Davis and his younger brother Ian are running around the room playing with toys. Four-year-old Davis will be starting school next fall. Jones says he likes the fact that Barnes is so close to their home; it’s barely two blocks away. “I grew up >> 26A

Addison Alternatives Why private schools find fertile ground around Middlebury

or a rural area, Addison County hosts a surprising number of secular private schools. The 26-year-old Bridge School was the area’s original elementary-school alternative. The Gailer School has STORY moved from Shelburne back to KEVIN J. Middlebury, where it originated in KELLEY 1989. More recent additions include the Aurora, North Branch and Red IMAGES Cedar schools, in Middlebury, Ripton JORDAN and Bristol, respectively. SILVERMAN Why are more than 200 of the county’s families willing to spend as much as $13,000 a year on alternatives to schools they already help fund through their property taxes? Is it a Vermont version of the national condition described by economist John Kenneth Galbraith as “private affluence, public squalor”? Not exactly. Middlebury and surrounding towns have a high proportion of well-educated and well-off residents, many of them affiliated with the college or with Porter Hospital. This socio-economic profile may help account for the proliferation of private schools. “Middlebury College does attract people who are used to having a range of choices in education,” says Alison Lockwood, who has a child at the Gailer School and is also the development director there. But a significant portion of Addison County’s population doesn’t qualify as affluent — or even middle-class. Its public school populations are economically mixed. Leaders of local private schools say some households sacrifice substantially in order to make tuition payments. And a few families must rely on the partial or full financial aid that the schools sparingly provide. It’s also not the case that the county’s public schools are underfunded or academically inferior. Year after year, taxpayers in many towns approve comparatively generous school budgets. Middlebury, for example, sets its perpupil expenditures at 122 percent of the statewide average. And on most student-performance criteria, Addison County public schools rank at or above the Vermont mean. Many private-school parents acknowledge that the county’s public system is sound. They justify opting out in purely positive terms. “We weren’t running away from something but toward something,” explains Ron Hallman, whose 16-yearold daughter, Anna, attends Gailer. The school’s “DaVinci curriculum” is modeled on a rounded, Renaissance-inspired approach to learning. “We were looking for a smaller environment that would better suit her learning style.” Jacquie Werner-Gavrin, director of the Red Cedar School in Bristol, emphasizes the virtue of variety. She presides over a K-12 “independent” school that encourages “participating in a democratic mixed-aged school community,” according to its website. “We need different types of schools for different types of students. Choice is very important,” says Werner-Gavrin, who taught for 10 years at the public Monkton Central School. All three of her children have attended Red Cedar. It’s the same story at Middlebury’s Bridge School, which is housed in a

renovated barn on the corner of Route 7 and Exchange Street. The private elementary school “wasn’t started in opposition to the public system,” notes Richard Nessen, who co-founded it in 1981. “Middlebury actually has an excellent public system. We tell parents that there are a variety of options and they should choose the one that’s best for their child.” A family with one child in private school may have another in public. Hallman, who is vice president for development at Porter Hospital, sends his younger daughter to Mary Hogan, Middlebury’s K-6 public school. Many private-school parents say they expect their elementary-aged kids will go to

alized it has to be and the less helpful it becomes to most kids.” Many private-school enthusiasts say administrators intent on adhering to a formulized method of education don’t welcome parental involvement in the public schools. “In our school, parents are in and out constantly,” notes Cal Birdsey, founder of the 26-student North Branch private school in Ripton. “How easy do you think it is to walk into Middlebury Union Middle School and participate in your child’s education?” Some parents of students at the middle school counter that MUMS does welcome volunteers. Persistent efforts on the part of par-

School along with 350 other students. “It was her choice, mainly because of sports,” he says. And MUMS does employ many “dynamic and interesting” teachers, he finds. On the other hand, “The yoke that holds them back is having to teach a state and federal curriculum,” Shunstrom adds. Creativity in the public classroom has grown even scarcer in the age of No Child Left Behind, private-school advocates contend. They regard the federal law, enacted in 2001 with the aim of promoting school accountability and higher educational standards, as a club used to enforce conformity. “Regula tions imposed on local schools by the central government” result in “box-like

Are you going to sacrifice your kid because you want the public institution to do better? The child is the number-one priority of most parents. RICHARD NESSEN, BRIDGE SCHOOL

public middle or high schools — often for the larger social environment or athletic opportunities. The “I’m-OK-you’re-OK” attitude usually expressed in regard to public and private schooling may be a reflection of small-town diplomacy. Press them a bit, though, and parents of private-school students do voice complaints about various aspects of public education. “Public school failed my child,” declares Gailer’s Lockwood. “He benefits from a smaller classroom environment,” which the Charlotte Central School didn’t provide, she says. The scale of public schools, even in thinly populated Addison County, is also a cause for consternation. “I’m not a fan of regulated education in large groups,” says Cheryl Faraone, a theater professor at Middlebury College. “The larger the school, the more institution-

ents can produce incremental changes in public education, says Nessen of the 67-student Bridge School. “But are you going to sacrifice your kid because you want the public institution to do better?” Nessen asks rhetorically. “The child is the number-one priority of most parents.” “The massive size of the public school structure” fosters rigidity, argues Erik Shunstrom, a teacher at the K-6 Aurora School in Middlebury. Bureaucratic inertia frustrates would-be public school reformers, adds Shunstrom, who taught for eight years at a public school in Los Angeles. He counterposes the individually tailored curriculum at Aurora, a “relationship-based” school with 26 students, to the “hot-lunch model where you get served what you get served.” But Shunstrom’s own daughter attends Middlebury Union Middle

situations” that stifle many students, says Lockwood, who is a Gailer School board member as well as administrator. In practice, No Child Left Behind has forced public schools to concentrate their resources on a minority of students who score poorly on standardized tests, adds Jeff Byers, a chemistry professor at Middlebury College. His seventh-grade daughter enrolled at Gailer in September after completing her elementary career at Mary Hogan, which is where his wife, Cathy, teaches. Byers was drawn to Gailer because when he’s had conversations with people associated with MUMS, he explains, “One of the first things they say when their guard is down is that academics is secondary to social development in grades seven and eight.” The middle school acts in accordance with >> 27A

walking to an elementary school,” he says. “I loved that.” Rock seems equally interested in Barnes. “We’re definitely checking it out,” she says. Barnes’ only probable competition at this point, they say, is the Dovetail program. Coincidentally, and unfortunately for Barnes, its open house has fallen on the same night as Barnes’. Vince Brennan, a Barnes parent and Burlington School Board member, calls the scheduling conflict “very unfortunate.” And it appears to have an effect on the Barnes turnout; at the end of the night, the visitor sign-up sheet by the door is only half full. Bowen dismisses any suggestion of intentionality on the part of Dovetail’s recruiters. She has asked the teachers there to spread the word that she’s happy to set up individual tours for parents interested in learning more about Barnes. But at least one parent who’s decided not to send her kids to Barnes says a visit to the school would not necessarily persuade her. Jessica Kell lives on Ward Steet with her husband, Shay Totten, and their three kids. Totten is the editor of the Vermont Guardian. When their oldest, Max, was preparing to enter kindergarten, Kell and Totten visited Barnes. “I liked Barnes a lot,” Kell remembers. “I liked the principal.” But, she says, “the kindergarten teacher at that time would not have been a good fit for him.” Instead, they sent Max to the Schoolhouse. They have enrolled their second son there as well. When they later decided to send Max to public school, where he could receive special-needs services, Kell says, she visited Barnes again. “There were so many great things going on there,” she says, “and I really liked the school, but there were no students there at that time with the same special needs that he has. It just felt like we couldn’t send him to a school where they

were going to have to make up a program for him from scratch.” They applied for and received a variance to Champlain. Kell says the family is once again considering Barnes, this time for their 3-year-old daughter. But Kell is troubled by the disparity in resources she sees between Barnes and Champlain. “They have an art room,” she says of the South End elementary school. “They have a music room. They have this library where you see parents hanging out in the morning and reading to their younger children.” “I was at Barnes a few weeks ago for a literacy celebration,” she continues, “and there’s a room in the school that I think is the artmusic-community room, but it’s definitely not what’s in the music or the art room at Champlain. It doesn’t even look like a combination of those things. It just looks like a room with a bunch of chairs in it. You don’t see materials scattered around and displayed the way you do in the other school. And that makes you wonder where the support is from the district.” She says she also worries about sending her daughter to a school that might close in a couple years. It’ll be “a tough choice” for her family, she says. That decision might be influenced by what other area parents do. Kell says she knows several people with kids her daughter’s age who live in the Wheeler district, and are already committed to sending their children there. If more Barnes parents she knows start doing the same, she might, too. In fact, Bowen says she thinks the tide is already turning. This year, 81 percent of Barnes kids are eligible for the federal free and reduced lunch program — that’s more than twice as high as the percentage at Edmunds, but it’s down from nearly 100 percent last year. Bowen sees this as a good sign. “To me,” she notes, “what that says is more people are looking at us and considering us.” �

this assumption, Byers observes, adding, “I don’t like that. It’s not what we want for our family.” Faraone cites “cliquishness in social circles” at the local public middle school as a factor that contributed to her daughter’s enrollment at Gailer. Parents worry that those social circles can exert powerful pressures on adolescents to engage in risky behavior. “There are different issues to contend with in public schools, and the environment at Middlebury Union High School is very different” from that at Gailer, says Hallman. At the same time, he acknowledges that teens and tweens will be exposed to the temptations of drugs and alcohol no matter where they attend school. “If we think they’re going to be isolated from society because they go to private schools, we’re kidding ourselves,” Hallman says. Often, however, the choice to invest thousands of additional dollars in a child’s education is made precisely because a family believes private school will yield more favorable returns. Some supporters of schools such as Aurora, North Branch and Gailer define these alternatives in at least tacit contrast to Mary Hogan, MUMS and Middlebury Union High School. North Branch, which takes the unusual approach of educating ninth- graders as well as seventh- and eighth-graders, is “completely different from MUMS,” says

nity of the like-minded. The “strong sense of being part of a whole” is among the attributes that attracted Becky Trombley to the Bridge School, which her 11-year-old daughter attends. But what about the larger community? Do private-school parents feel disconnected from the commonweal because they exclude their kids from one of a town’s most defining institutions? In Murphy’s case, the answer is “definitely.” Calling herself “very communityoriented,” the Lincoln resident says she laments the loss of involvement in her local public school, which she describes as “a wonderful place.” Other private-school parents say they experience no such alienation. Hallman, for example, notes that his 10th-grade daughter at Gailer maintains ties to many of the friends she made at MUMS. “I don’t feel any disconnection from the Middlebury community,” Hallman says. The biggest detriment to the commonweal, adds North Branch founder Birdsey, would be “having only one kind of school to attend.” Those drawn to the alternative kind exhibit characteristics common among transplants to Vermont, says Faraone, who came to Middlebury College 20 years ago. “A search for independence and autonomy is what brings many people to Vermont and also to private schools,” she observes.

head teacher Birdsey. Because the multiage setting at North Branch is “larger than a family but smaller than a system,” it appeals to parents who “want the kind of place where their kids are loved and known,” he suggests. Interdisciplinary education is emphasized at most Addison County private schools. Gailer promotes critical thinking, as opposed to rote studying, Lockwood says. The school fosters “pushback,” she notes. “We allow our kids to challenge any and every theory.” Lockwood further describes Gailer as “nimble” — a trait that many private schools tout. Sandra Murphy, the mother of two sons attending Aurora, values its support for “out-of-school adventuring.” Teachers there don’t object when Murphy, a freelance writer on natural-history topics, pulls her kids from school so they can accompany her and her husband on trips to western states. Private schools also provide parents and students with a ready-made commu-

That they tend to be more homogeneous than, say, the Vergennes public schools is not a concern. “There’s so much focus on social justice and economic disparities” in the Gailer School curriculum, Faraone says, that her daughter will learn that American society is hardly monolithic. Tom Buzzell, the associate principal at Mary Hogan, agrees that private schools such as Gailer make “strong community-service efforts that allow their students to have a full range of experiences.” Private schooling requires considerable sacrifice on the part of teachers as well as many parents. Salaries at schools dependent almost entirely on tuition income run well below what teachers make in Vermont’s unionized public schools. And paying the costs of a private education can strain even a middle-class family’s budget. “It is a sizable financial commitment,” says Trombley, a full-time mom whose husband works at IBM. But in a comment echoed by many private-school parents, Trombley adds, “This was the right choice for us. We had to do what is best for our child.” �

Dead Wrong Are Vermonters getting stiffed on the facts about home funerals?

A STORY

KEN PICARD Elizabeth Knox’s workshop on caring for your own dead, Saturday, February 3, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., Lake Champlain Waldorf School, Shelburne. $100. Info, 233-2640 or crossingcare@ earthlink.net.

ny mother can appreciate the bond that held Elizabeth Knox to her daughter on the day in October 1995 when 7-yearold Alison Sanders was pronounced brain-dead from the impact of an airbag that deployed during a low-speed car accident. Even after the life-support machines were disconnected and her heart stopped beating, Alison was still Knox’s child, and the mother needed time to let go. Knox had delivered Alison by natural childbirth and stayed home to raise her. She’d always put her daughter in car seats, taught her to wear a bicycle helmet and instructed her on table manners. To be told by the hospital nurses that “some stranger” would take over the care of her daughter’s body was anathema to her. “Not only was I sending my daughter to a place that I had no positive feelings about — the hospital morgue — but it was completely off-limits to me,” Knox recalls. “And yet, people are forced to make that choice constantly. I knew there was another way.” Knox, a fourth-generation Vermonter living in Maryland, decided to handle the funeral herself, though she was utterly ignorant about what it entailed. The hospital staff told her, incorrectly, that Maryland law requires a licensed mortician to transport the body. So Knox found a funeral director to bring her daughter home, where family and friends held a three-day vigil. Afterward, Knox rode with her daughter’s body to the crematory and watched as the body was loaded into the cremation chamber. Several hours later, she came home with Alison’s remains. The experience of caring for her daughter’s body after death had a profound effect on Knox and her family. “People all told me, ‘This was so lovely! This was so much better than my other

experiences of being in a funeral home,’” she recalls. “In the face of this terrible, terrible tragedy, that was not lost on them.” Two years later, Knox founded Crossings. The nonprofit educational organization based in Takoma Park, Maryland, teaches others how to care for their dead. Crossings has helped hundreds of families arrange their loved ones’ “after-death care” — the one- to five-day period between the time of death and the burial or cremation. Knox sees it as the final act of love a person can perform for a family member. She also travels around the country giving day-long workshops on caring for the dead. One such seminar is scheduled for Saturday, February 3, at the Lake Champlain Waldorf School in Shelburne. “People have a certain idea, because of their own projections and fears, that they can’t do this,” Knox says. “But without exception, they are all so grateful and so comforted and quite amazed at their own response.” The sense of closure that comes from doing a home funeral should make sense to anyone who has lost a close friend or family member. During a time of mourning, especially after a sudden, unexpected death, people want to feel useful. But all too often, the expression of condolence — “Is there anything I can do?” — has no response. In this country, where 99 percent of all deaths are handled by funeral directors, there’s rarely anything of substance for friends and family to do. But, as Knox explains, giving people a task — picking up the death certificate, buying more dry ice, building the coffin or digging the grave — provides a physical way to work through grief. Crossings doesn’t just walk people through the process of arranging a home funeral. It also clears up the

many myths and misconceptions surrounding the final disposition of the dead — embalming, transportation of the body and the need for a coffin. Knox says she all too often hears misleading or false information about home funerals being disseminated — most egregiously, by health-care workers and public officials who ought to know better. Before Knox holds a workshop, she contacts the relevant state agencies — typically, the attorney general’s office or state health department — to verify the laws for that particular state. Knox took these steps before a workshop scheduled in Vermont last fall, only to learn later that the information she received was inaccurate. (For unrelated reasons, that workshop was canceled.) This misinformation was especially surprising, she says, because Vermont is home to two of the nation’s leading public advocacy groups on funeral ethics: the Funeral Consumers Alliance of South Burlington and the Funeral Ethics Organization of Hinesburg. Now, the directors of both organizations say they’re shocked and incensed by the level of misinformation being distributed by Vermont officials. There are very few people in this country who have as much working knowledge of the laws and ethics of dealing with funerals and burials as Lisa Carlson. The Vermont native has that earthy sense of humor that comes from years of dealing with dead people — or, more accurately, with the sometimes inept and unscrupulous people who handle them for a living. As an author, public speaker and founder of the Funeral Ethics Organization, Carlson literally wrote the book on DIY funerals, Caring for the Dead: Your Final Act of Love. This 640-page tome is a stateby-state compendium of laws governing

the handling of the dead without an undertaker. Carlson, a consummate public speaker and storyteller, also wrote I Died Laughing: Funeral Education With a Light Touch. It’s a collection of jokes and cartoons that take an irreverent look at our passage into the sweet hereafter. But Carlson’s own introduction to home funerals was no laughing matter. In 1981, her 31-year-old husband, John, committed suicide by shooting himself in the stomach with a hunting rifle. The couple hadn’t done advance funeral planning, and Carlson didn’t have enough money in the bank to cover the cost of cremation, which at the time was about $750. Because of the nature of John’s death, an autopsy was performed. When the state’s attorney called Carlson to ask which funeral home he should notify to pick up the deceased, she informed him there wouldn’t be one. Carlson asked the official to please deliver the body to her house. “I’m sure he thought I’d gone off my squash,” she recalls with a chuckle. After John’s body came home, Carlson felt an overwhelming need to stay with him. She called a friend — a janitor at the school where John had taught — who helped her drive the body to a crematory in St. Johnsbury. When Carlson’s story about her home funeral appeared in The Burlington Free Press, she became a local cause célèbre. “For a year later, a week rarely went by without a phone call or letter from people wanting to know what to do and how to do it,” she says. “I felt so grateful that I’d had the information when I needed it, I felt obliged to share.” The result was Carlson’s first book, the 1987 Caring for Your Own Dead. It earned her national acclaim. The book was written up in The New York Times,

SEVEN DAYS | january 31-february 07, 2007 | feature 29A and Carlson appeared on “Good Morning America” and “CBS This Morning” and twice on “The Phil Donahue Show.” Little wonder Carlson is “shocked and embarrassed” that Vermont officials are promulgating what she calls misleading and false information about home funerals and burials. Worse, she adds, those officials seemed unconcerned about correcting their errors now that they’ve been brought to light. Like Carlson, Joshua Slocum is a funeral ethics watchdog who has little patience for bureaucratic bungling, especially when it affects people at their most vulnerable. As executive director of the Funeral Consumers Alliance, Slocum is typically the one who gets a phone call — whether from families or from the national media — whenever a body goes missing from a funeral, or some unsavory crematory operator is caught stashing unburned bodies on his property. In October, Slocum learned what Knox had been told about Vermont’s funeral and burial laws, and wrote a seven-page letter to Attorney General William Sorrell and Vermont Commissioner of Health Sharon Moffatt. The letter outlined what he called the “flatly incorrect and unsupported legal advice and inaccuracies” given out by state officials. According to Slocum, those errors included the “incorrect advice” by Vital Statistics Director Richard McCoy and Chief Medical Examiner Stephen Shapiro that Vermont families may not transport their own dead for burial, the “unsupported interpretation of Vermont statutes” that caskets are required for burial, and the “unsupported contention” that bodies crossing the Vermont border must be embalmed. The errors regarding caskets and embalming are particularly egregious, Slocum notes, because they conflict with the religious tenets of devout Muslims and Jews, who often bury their dead in direct contact with the earth and without embalming. As Slocum points

public,” Slocum tells Seven Days. “The errors from the state are bad enough. But to ignore constituents repeatedly is inexcusable. I never would have guessed in a million years that Vermont would react this way.” Seven Days’ efforts to clarify the state’s interpretation of the law were similarly stymied. Phone calls to the attorney general’s office were deferred to the Department of Health. And when Moffatt responded, her explanation left some questions unanswered. Reiterating her response to Carlson, Moffatt said, “There is no public health reason for any concerns around coffin-less burials.” She acknowledged some “gray areas” in the law about the coffin requirement, saying that “We appreciate the need to have further clarity about legislative intent.” But Moffatt couldn’t say whether the law permits families to transport their own dead: “That’s not an issue we’ve had an issue about.” Moreover, the state’s highest health official couldn’t say definitively whether a body must be embalmed when it crosses the state line; she promised to “get back” to us. A subsequent email from a health department spokesperson clarified that, in fact, Vermont has no such mandate, though other states and countries where the body is going to or coming from may require it. As to whether family members may transport their own dead, the email included a link to the Vermont statute dealing with the permit requirements for transporting a dead body. That statute mentions funeral directors and licensed embalmers, but says nothing about the rights of next of kin. Slocum is not surprised by Seven Days’ inability to get simple, straightforward answers. Reiterating his and Carlson’s understanding of Vermont law, he insists that Vermonters may transport their own dead, provided they obtain all the necessary permits. They may bury their own dead — with or without a casket — on their own property, provided local ordinance allows it and the grave is a specified distance

The errors regarding caskets and embalming are particularly egregious, Slocum notes, because they conflict with the religious tenets of devout Muslims and Jews, who often bury their dead in direct contact with the earth and without embalming. out, Vermont law is unambiguous on this matter. The statute reads: “A bylaw or regulation shall not be adopted to restrain a person in the free exercise of his religious sentiments as to the burial of the dead.” Slocum sent his letter to the attorney general and health commissioner in October. He claims he has yet to receive a response, either in writing or by phone. In December, Carlson sent a similar letter to Governor Jim Douglas complaining about the “misinformation” being offered by Vermont officials. The two-sentence reply she received from Commissioner Moffatt reads, “Health Department staff have reviewed the issue of whether a coffin is necessary for burial of a dead body. The Department believes there is minimal to no infectious disease risk associated with burial in something other than a traditional coffin and crypt, (e.g., shroud or green burials).” Moffatt’s letter, Slocum notes, does not clarify whether coffin-less burials are legal; it only states that the health department doesn’t believe they pose a public health risk. It says nothing about embalming requirements or the right of next of kin to transport a dead body. “I am shocked and infuriated at the indifference, bordering on contempt, that the state of Vermont has shown to those of us who are trying to bring accurate information to the

from wells and bodies of water. And, he says, families are never required to embalm the body, unless required to do so by a transporting agent, such as an airline. And even in those cases, alternative accommodations may often be made. Ironically, both Carlson and Slocum say they offered to write a simple, plain-English brochure about caring for your own dead on behalf of the health department. According to Carlson, their offer was declined. Why is it so important to pin down the facts? Slocum points out that the average citizen isn’t going to be as dogged as a consumer advocate, or a reporter, especially during the stressful and chaotic time after a loved one’s death. People have no reason to question what they’re told by government officials on these matters, he adds, even if that information proves to be wrong. In her own experience, Knox says it’s easy for families to just do what their told — by hospital staff, morticians, even other family members — rather than challenging their mistaken assumptions about home funerals. “It’s amazing the amnesia we have as a society,” she says. “In every room I lecture in there’s someone who says, ‘We cared for my great aunt that way,’ or whatever. In two generations, this information has been lost to us.” �

The Revolution Was Harmonized Theater review: Woody Guthrieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s American Song

arginalized lives leave faint traces on historyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pages. Voiceless classes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; serfs, slaves, servants â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are swallowed up by time, their individual stories missing from the narrative of kings and conquerors. The growth of litSTORY eracy and technology in 20th-century ELISABETH America expanded the documentation of CREAN human struggles, such as those that occurred during the dark days of the Dust Bowl and Woody Guthrieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Depression. The most familiar testimony American Song, from that era, however, is mute: stark, blackdirected by and-white photographs of haunted, hungry Mark Nash, faces; endless soup-kitchen lines and desicproduced by Vermont Stage cated farm fields. Company. The eloquent, witty and insightful FlynnSpace, voice of folk singer Woody Guthrie Burlington, (1912-67) helped bring those pictures to January 31 life. Guthrie wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speaking for those peoFebruary 4, Wednesday ple and their experiences; he was speaking through from them, having lived the hard times Saturday at and suffered alongside his countrymen. 7:30 p.m., Woody Guthrieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s American Song animates Saturday and his music, words and life into an engaging Sunday at 2 p.m. evening of theater. At the Vermont Stage $24-30.50. Company, director Mark Nash has assembled an outstanding ensemble that does Guthrie proud, singing, strumming and telling stories with gusto and glee. The bio-musical is a veritable modern stage epidemic. The central question each such show must answer is: Does it work as a piece of drama, or just rest on the musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laurels? American Song succeeds theatrically for two reasons. First, playwright Peter

Glazer had a wealth of Guthrieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own writings. The dialogue rings as true as the tunes because all the words in the show are Woodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Second, the story emphasizes themes with emotional resonance over a recitation of biographical detail. American Song captures how Guthrie sang and spoke from a place of deep compassion and hard-won wisdom, leavened with a sly sense of humor. On stage, Oklahoma, California and New York stand in for the 46 states he actually managed to roam. Six actors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; three men, two women and one boy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; play various characters Woody encounters in his travels. The men portray the singer himself at different ages. The performers accompany themselves and one another on a variety of instruments, including guitar, banjo and mandolin. A bass player and a fiddler also play on stage throughout the show. The score includes about two dozen Guthrie tunes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a fraction of the hundreds he wrote, but enough to hint at his protean identity in music history. Guthrie synthesized many strands of early American musical culture, from casual drinking songs to traditional African-American spirituals. He sometimes revamped old tunes with new lyrics, as he did with the spiritual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bound for Glory.â&#x20AC;? (This also became the title of his 1943 autobiographical novel, a source for some vivid passages in American Song.) The show alternates sets of uptempo num-

bers with slower ones, a method that both enhances dramatic pacing and highlights the diversity of Guthrie’s musical output. Act I focuses on the “hard travelin’” Guthrie did in his early years. The Oklahoma of his childhood was a rough-and-tumble frontier, where “the corn growed, the oil flowed and the farmer owed.” By his mid-teens, he had adopted an itinerant lifestyle, mostly singing for his supper. In the 1930s, Guthrie headed west across the dust-ravaged plains toward California, along with millions of other migrants. Large-scale government projects, such as building dams, provided scarce jobs. Desperate for work, thousands would camp at a remote canyon, waiting months for dam construction to begin. Act I concludes with an extended scene at a makeshift encampment. By 1940, Guthrie landed in New York City. Act II concentrates on his contradictory experiences of urban life. He observes the underbelly — poverty, anonymity, overcrowding. But he also recognizes that unionization and political organization give poor people strength in numbers. And he knows his songs play a role in telling their stories to the world. Disasters, natural and manmade, particularly move Guthrie. “If a cyclone comes or a flood wrecks the country, if a big ship goes down or the working people go out to win a war, yes, you’ll come up with a train load of things you can set down and make up songs about,” he says. “The Sinking of the Reuben James” recounts the wreck of a U.S. Navy destroyer torpedoed by a German U-boat; “Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)” mourns a planeload of Mexican immigrants lost in a fiery crash. The lyrics of both underline Guthrie’s emotional connection to individual loss. He refuses to let deaths remain faceless statistics. American Song does not milk Guthrie’s own tragic end; the show settles for a brief scene that acknowledges how Huntington’s disease stole his mind many years before it took his body. Rollicking choruses of “This Land Is Your Land” quickly follow, leaving the audience upbeat about Guthrie’s remarkable legacy. Vermont Stage’s production was strong on all fronts. The intimacy of the FlynnSpace created a perfect environment for the cast’s pure, unvarnished singing, which beautifully evoked the spirit of Guthrie’s sound. Woody’s own words, used in Act I to describe two women harmonizing at a campfire, express what the ensemble achieved: “It was so clear and honest sounding, no Hollywood put-on, wasn’t no fake wiggling. Instead of getting you all riled up mentally, morally and sexually, no, it done something a lot better, something that’s a lot harder to do, something you need 10 times more. It cleared your head up, that’s what it done.” In this era of overembellished belting, the ensemble’s clarity was a refreshing reminder of what

singing is supposed to be. No runs, no trills, no errors. Instead, it was soft, supple and subtle, always serving the simple melodies and poignant lyrics. The cast overflowed with multitalented musicians, singers and actors. Ensemble member Patti Casey doubled as music director. Along with director Nash, Casey and the cast deserve copious credit for creating a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. The hard work of mastering so much material came off as effortless. Audience members toe-tapped, head-bopped and even sang along on familiar tunes, because the evening felt more like a shared experience than a staged performance. Musical highlights abounded. Ellen McQueeney and Casey sang particularly well together, creating luscious, tight harmonies in several numbers. Eleven-year-old charmer Jan Monteagudo-Meese showed flair blowing the harmonica, playing the spoons and flashing his smile. Evan Beamer, Brett Hughes and Chuck Meese each brought a special kind of warmth to Guthrie’s songs: Beamer’s singing was more honeyed, Hughes’ edgier and more plaintive, and Meese’s wiser and more reflective. Perhaps most impressive was Beamer, who seemed completely at home on stage in his professional acting debut. Bassist Tyler Bolles and fiddler Joseph Campanella Cleary provided robust instrumental support throughout the performance. Nash marshalled strong production elements to reinforce American Song’s aura of authenticity. Jenny C. Fulton’s scenic design emphasized unpainted, rough-cut wood for the stage and many of the props. Her period costumes featured faded hues of pale denim blue, mocha brown and dusty rose. Pieced quilts, hanging from clotheslines at the back of the set, echoed these colors. Faults were few. Pacing lagged in some overly long numbers. Judicious snips to the script would have helped — and trimmed the bulky running time of nearly two and a half hours (with an intermission). Nash’s staging was inventive, but some actors occasionally turned their backs to the audience for overlong intervals. The unavoidable FlynnSpace poles were artfully clad in pine. But they made it unnecessarily difficult for the audience to see the historical photo slides, which weren’t projected high enough. Still, these are minor issues, given that this production of American Song is richly entertaining. It reminds us of Guthrie’s rightful place in a healthy American tradition that goes all the way back to colonial rabblerousers and tea-tossing troublemakers: the patriotism of dissent. In the poem “This Is Our Country Here,” Guthrie explained that when he spoke against injustice, he did so out of love for his country: “Because I seen the pretty and I seen the ugly and it was because I knew the pretty part that I wanted to change the ugly part.” �

All Lit Up

ight fascinates visual artists, yet it has always been a bit of a conundrum. Even after the invention of light bulbs, Paul Cézanne asserted, “Light is a thing that cannot be reproduced but EXHIBIT must be represented by something else “Art Now: Transparency,” — by color.” The contemporary participants in three-dimensional works in “Art Now: Transparency” at the mixed media. Middlebury College Museum of Art Middlebury College Museum conceive of light’s effects in a whole of Art. Through different way from the Impressionists. June 3. Notions of reproducing and representing the visible spectrum are not ARTWORK among the concerns addressed in this “Codex” by exhibit — that is, in pigment. Indeed, Richard Humann light seems to emanate from, rather PHOTO than fall upon, objects in the dimly lit Marc gallery. Awodey Seven of eight pieces in this show are sculptures. Seattle artist Mark Zipel took advantage of new technologies in the creation of his 40-by30-inch work “Leaf.” It features a graceful lanceolate leaf form — perhaps a long, pointed ficus — sandblasted horizontally onto a clear, gently arced glass surface. Zipel’s hyperrealism results from transferring a digitized leaf in the design process. When the design is applied to the curved glass, fine textures illuminated from

below make the silvery leaf appear to float above a base. Lighting thermoplastic resin generates a similar illusion in a piece by internationally known mixed-media artist Richard Humann entitled “Codex.” The 11-by-17-inch translucent open book contains dozens of jumbled, shimmering letters beneath

halves, called cuboids in geometry, refract the primary colors of light — red, blue and green — like large jewels. One cuboid is dominated by warm colors, the other by cool ones. Blended sapphire-blue and emeraldgreen reflections produce a rich yellow topaz within the warm-colored cuboid.

Notions of reproducing and representing the visible spectrum are not among the concerns addressed in this exhibit. its pages. Much can be “read into” this work — the symbolic motif of a glowing text, familiar in Western art, dates back to images of Bibles in medieval Christian iconography. Humann’s tome is both indecipherable and illuminated — though not in the same sense as an illuminated manuscript. Dennis Byng is a pioneering Lucite sculptor who’s been creating abstract geometric works since the 1960s. His 1974 “Split Cube” is sliced into two pieces positioned 5 inches apart. The

Middlebury art professor Hedya Klein’s “Xanadu” is a three-tiered wall of a dozen 12-by-16-inch wooden light boxes. Each presents blown-up photos of different manifestations of light reflecting from various surfaces, such as gemstone facets. The mounted light-box photos are misty, and the lack of sharpness and specificity renders the images nearly abstract. “Posture” by Marsha Pels is a 14by-12-by-24-inch vertical glass box housing a child-sized translucent crystal spine. It’s part of Pels’ series of

Third Reich-inspired works, “The Hitler Vitrines,” which appeared at New York’s Schroeder Romero Gallery in 2001. That show included various skeletal objects fashioned from crystal. The material is a direct reference to the orgy of violence on Kristallnacht, which is now seen as the opening salvo of the Holocaust. Curatorial notes for “Art Now: Transparency” reveal that good posture, especially in children, was among the Führer’s numerous dark obsessions. The eighth work in the show is a 2-minute video called “Ocularis” by Berlin video artist Bettina Pousttchi. It shows electromagnetic waves flowing outward from a dot of pulsing red pixels on a 14-inch Apple flat-screen monitor, like a red star on the ceiling of a planetarium. As the image glows and grows beyond the red spot, layers of iridescent color flood the screen. A fantasia of space music, described in the curatorial statement as a “somalike soundtrack,” accompanies the video. The effect is mesmerizing. “Art Now: Transparency” enable viewers to experience luminosity in a whole different light. m

playing the electronic field

Finding Frozen Fun Remember when the West was fun? Playing cowboys and Indians once took a central role in childhood roughhousing, but things have changed along with our understanding of history. Somehow, pretending to mow down an indigenous people with a sixshooter has lost much of its heroic appeal. These days, kids swap their Colt .45s and chaps for tactical assault rifles and Teflon body armor, and the bad guys run the gamut from foreign terrorists to extraterrestrial terrors. But beyond the switch in sets and setting, the story remains the same. In “Lost Planet: Extreme Condition” we’ve colonized the frontier, and now it’s time to clear out the natives. Cobbling together a plot that borrows its best parts from “Starship Troopers” and the Hoth scene from “The Empire Strikes Back,” “Lost Planet” returns to a more naive playtime, when killing the locals was fair play. In the fiction of “Lost Planet,” humans have fled Earth to homestead an icy, desolate world. Much to their surprise, the snow-cone planet sports a local civilization of giant bug creatures. These humans of the future — having retained their basic contempt for native culture — begin negotiating for real estate with a hail of machine-gun fire. Science fiction has always harbored a special kind of xenophobia in its depiction of space aliens as saliva-dripping, ray-guntoting sociopaths. And it’s hard to blame “Lost Planet” for picking up on this trend. It’s more fun to set aside morality and concentrate on the action when your opponent is a fast-moving, armored beetle the size of a school bus with spikes for teeth and a maniacal focus on eating you.

SUDOKU By Linda Thistle

“Lost Planet: Extreme Condition” Xbox 360 $59.99 T for teen

Fear for your life keeps things hot as you roam through the frigid game environments, taking out bugs and searching for the monstrous “Green Eye” that munched your recently departed dad. Digging through snowdrifts for weapons, wandering around abandoned buildings and underground bunkers, and, mostly, running and gunning for your life provide the thrills. A belt-clip zip line allows you to pull off Spider-Man moves, shooting up the sides of buildings and darting out of harm’s way. The game provides enough variety in environments and wave after wave of bug-eyed monsters to keep players from having to reflect much on the thinly sketched story, ponder the conspiracy that seems to underlie it all, or even reflect on why people would so desperately want to live on an ice cube overrun by mutant insects. It turns out, the game’s deeper meaning holds that snow looks cool and shooting at things — as the frontiersmen whose rifle practice

consisted of decimating American buffalo herds from moving steam trains could have told you — is fun. On those accounts, “Lost Planet” brings back the joy of a Wild West shoot-’em-up — without all the historical baggage. Who’s It For: The running-andgunning format of “Lost Planet,” so well-worn in the video-game world, benefits from a snowy location and tightly scripted action. If you like to visit exotic places and shoot things, this game delivers. If You Like This, Try That: “Gears of War” for the X360 combines visual power with brutal combat. Killing monsters in a military setting has never looked better. Best Part: Playing on the theme of subzero temperatures, the player must watch his character’s thermal meter. When your suit runs out of juice, you freeze to death. Killing bugs and collecting their heat keeps you going.

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

theborowitzreport Bin Laden’s State of the Jihad Address Short on Specifics

l-Qaeda terror mastermind Osama bin Laden delivered his annual State of the Jihad address last night and immediately faced criticism that the speech was short on specifics and little more than a laundry list of vague threats. Speaking from his cave in an undisclosed location in the mountainous region between Pakistan and Afghanistan, the world’s most wanted man began his address with an upbeat assessment of the global jihad against the infidels. “Friends, terrorists, extremists, and madmen,” Mr. bin Laden began. “The state of the jihad is strong.” The al-Qaeda leader’s 50-minute address was interrupted by applause at least 35 times, usually when Mr. bin Laden punctuated his remarks by saying, “Death to America.” Mr. bin Laden sounded themes that were familiar to audiences of previous State of the Jihad addresses, such as his warning that “Al-Qaeda must become less dependent on foreign sources of chaos.” As is his tradition, he also used

the address to acknowledge several “heroes of the Jihad,” including one terrorist, Sheikh Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, who risked his life by pulling another terrorist out of the path of a charging donkey. But the al-Qaeda kingpin was in for some blistering criticism in the official response to the State of the Jihad address, which this year was delivered by opposition lunatic Hassan el-Medfaii.

Al-Qaeda must become less dependent on foreign sources of chaos.

Mr. bin Laden

“What we heard tonight was little more than ‘stay the course,’” said Mr. el-Medfaii. “As a madman, I had to ask, ‘where’s the beef?’” Elsewhere, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) bowed out of the 2008 presidential race, stating, “I decided to run for president before I decided against it.”

free will astrology RE AL february 01-07

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I have one

little whisper of warning and one big blast of encouragement for you. First, the warning: Don’t be like the ancient Roman emperor Caligula, who declared war on Neptune, god of the sea, and commanded his troops to hurl their spears into the water. Now here’s the encouragement: If you heed my warning, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to go to war, metaphorically speaking. There’s a 95 percent chance that your cause will be just, a 90 percent chance that you’ll be able to enlist a solid fighting force, and an 85 percent chance that you’ll acquit yourself with resourceful courage.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In his book Perfect Love, Imperfect Relationships, psychotherapist John Welwood writes, “Psychological work focuses more on what has gone wrong: how we have been wounded in our relations with others and how to go about addressing that. Spiritual work focuses more on what is intrinsically right: how we have infinite resources at the core of our nature that we can cultivate in order to live more expansively. If psychological work thins the clouds, spiritual work invokes the sun.” In my opinion, Taurus, both approaches are useful, depending on the season of your life. For the foreseeable future, though, spiritual work should be your emphasis. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It’s a scary responsibility to give people astrological advice. What if I suggested that you call in sick (even though you’re not sick) so you could wander off into the Great Unknown in quest of close encounters with mind-blowing teachings? And what if in the course of following my suggestion you learned so many lessons about how to permanently expand your frontiers that you then decided to burn down a bridge to nowhere and give away most of your emotional baggage and live in greater devotion to your 5x1-houseoflemay013107.pdf 1/30/07 soul’s radically simple needs? Could I then get sued by someone in your life who really doesn’t want you to escape your traps?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’re being

compelled to get reacquainted with forbidden dreams and buried secrets and hidden truths. Be honest: It’s not so bad; it’s probably even a bit thrilling. Though it may generate some pungent and poignant dramas, you’ve got to admit that the dramas are pretty entertaining. And besides, if you can find a way to feel amused as you cooperate with these forbidden dreams and buried secrets and hidden truths, they will ultimately dissolve obstacles that have been postponing your future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In her book Traveling Mercies, Ann Lamott says the two best kinds of prayer are “Help me, help me, help me” and “Thank you, thank you, thank you.” The former was appropriate for you to unleash a few weeks ago, Leo, but these days the latter makes more sense. I know some of you may think that’s a waste of time. Of what practical value is it to express gratitude for what you’ve already been given? Here’s why: Expressing exuberant thanks tends to attract into your life even more reasons to be thankful; it turns you into a magnet for blessings. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When Martin

Luther King Jr. was 12 years old, he was so depressed he tried to commit suicide. I’m glad he didn’t succeed. He grew up to be one of my heroes: a peaceful warrior who fought for justice with militant love. Studying his life, I learned that it’s possible for a man to have both a well-honed intellect and a fierce spiritual faith. He showed me that uplifting passion, lyrical language, and inventive imagination are essential elements of political activism. He proved you can be devoted to divine mysteries without turning into a fundamentalist fanatic who hates nonbelievers. In accordance with the astrological omens, Virgo, I urge you to draw inspiration from a hero who means as much to you as King does to me. For extra credit, find 9:58:00 AM out how this indomitable soul managed to triumph over his or her life’s low points.

LIbRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “The disease of

that you don’t fully acknowledge? (3) Do you play down the power of a transformational agent that’s taboo or not fully accepted?

niceness cripples more lives than alcoholism,” said writer Raymond Chandler. That’s an exaggeration, in my opinion, but I think his point is important–especially for you Libras right now. As much as I love your ability to cultivate harmony, seek out beauty, and find the common ground between people, I encourage you to let the sweet and polite sides of your nature recede into the background for a while. Emphasize feistiness and grit. Tap into the fiery, primal aspect of your nature that drove you out of your mother’s womb and into this world in the hour when you were born. Be inspired by the creator gods and goddesses of ancient myth, who playfully forged millions of beautiful things using wind, mud, tears and lightning.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something,” wrote art critic John Ruskin. “To see clearly is poetry, prophecy, and religion, all in one.” Your assignment in the coming week, Capricorn, is to make Ruskin’s idea your method. In other words, lay aside everything you think you know, suspend your reflex to impose your beliefs on every situation you encounter, and behold the world exactly as it is. If you do it right, you’ll experience pleasure beyond measure. More than that, you’ll change everything you see into a more beautiful version of itself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Some people think of me as a pure Californian, marinated in Left Coast politics and raised on New Age memes. But the truth is I spent the first 12 years of my life in the Midwestern heartland, the next six years on the East Coast, then nine years in the South. I’m as mongrel a breed of American as it’s possible to be. Though I may bloom with Californian-style eccentricities, my roots are deep in downto-earth cultural memes. Now I’d like you to do for yourself what I just did, Scorpio, only more so. Remember in detail your origins. Take inventory of the places that have helped make you who you are. Note wryly the differences between what people imagine you to be and what you know you are.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Seven centuries ago, there were Christian religious fanatics in Europe who demanded that all women must cover their ears. Why? Because the Virgin Mary had been inseminated through that part of her body by the Holy Spirit. The fanatics feared that other women might be susceptible to the influx of invisible ear-penetrating entities that weren’t so benevolent. And how does this relate to you? While I’m not worried that you’ll be literally invaded, I do think you should be careful about what words and sounds you let slip into your ears. There’s a good chance you’ll be metaphorically impregnated by potent messages that arrive via that route. Make sure they’re positive messages that will make you thrive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Even though it’s illegal, marijuana is now America’s biggest cash crop, generating more revenue than corn and soybeans. Official government sources won’t acknowledge this fact, of course, and the major media would prefer to ignore it. Let’s use this situation as a metaphor for your personal life, Sagittarius. Meditate on the following three questions. (1) Is there a valuable asset that you neglect to account for when you take inventory of your total resources? (2) Is there a Big Important Thing

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): Patches of yellow forsythias and blue gentian flowers have sprouted high in the Austrian Alps this winter, appearing where snow usually dominates the landscape. I predict that you’re about to experience a metaphorically similar phenomenon, Pisces. There’ll be an unprecedented blossoming in a situation that has previously been unable to support growth. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of your frozen assets began to thaw as well.

film review

Notes on a Scandal HHHH

“

HOT FOR TEACHER Dench snagged a well-deserved Oscar nod for her portrayal of a delusional spinster who manipulates an unsuspecting colleague.

t takes courage to recognize the real as opposed to the convenient,” observes Judi Dench in Notes on a Scandal. The irony here is that her character, a spinster schoolteacher named Barbara Covett, is among the most delusional in movie history. Next to her, Fatal Attraction’s Alex Forrest is a paragon of mental health. Covett, a self-described battle axe, is lonely, bitter and more than a little predatory. When not delivering history lessons to Islington middle-school students she contemptuously describes as “future plumbers and shop clerks,” she spends hours in her cramped flat pouring her thoughts and feelings into notebooks. She grades her days. On good ones, she sticks a gold star to the page. They’re rare. The script has been adapted by playwright Patrick (Closer) Marber from Zoe Heller’s 2003 novel What Was She Thinking? and turns the entries into a series of deliciously acidtongued voice-overs (think Bridget Jones’s Diary meets Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?). As the schoolyear begins, Dench is provided with fresh prey in the form of a novice art teacher played by Cate Blanchette. Sheba Hart’s problem is an unchecked sense of entitlement. She has looks, money, a husband and the screwy belief that, having spent the last 10 years raising a child with Down syndrome, she’s earned the right “to transgress, to be bad.” Even as Dench is fantasizing about Blanchette,

Smokin’ Aces HHH

W IN THE CARDS Smokin’ Aces is an energetic action movie with more than a few genuine surprises and notable ensemble performances.

riter/director Joe Carnahan (Blood, Guts, Bullets and Octane) makes an overreaching but inspired effort at reinventing the dumb-gangsters-with-big-guns motif that Quentin Tarantino created and continues to modify. On a certain level, Smokin’ Aces is like a Robert Altman action movie (although Altman never made one) fueled by steroids and caffeine. A couple dozen colorful and violent characters converge on Lake Tahoe’s Nomad casino, where Las Vegas illusionist-turned-mob-wannabe Buddy “Aces” Israel (Jeremy Piven) waits to turn state’s evidence on Mafia kingpin Primo Sparazza (Joseph Ruskin). An erroneous rumor quickly spreads through the underworld that Sparazza has put a million-dollar hit out on Aces, and several groups of amateur and pro-

Blanchette finds herself fantasizing about a 15year-old student. When the older woman discovers that the younger has acted on her impulses, she’s overcome with unjustified feelings of outrage and betrayal. But then, cunning monster that she is, Covett remembers that knowledge is power. By not turning Hart in to school officials, Covett obligates her to play a role in her imaginary love affair. “I could gain everything,” she writes in her diary, “by doing nothing.” The arrangement is mutually beneficial, until Sheba is forced to choose between her family and her ever-more-controlling friend. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Unless you count fury like a really wacked-out woman scorned, which is much, much worse. Especially when the dialogue is as brilliantly barbed as it is here, and delivered by actresses as for-

midable as these. As directed by Richard (Iris) Eyre, Notes on a Scandal offers a literate, consistently perceptive portrait of two women well past the verge of breakdown and on a collision course with self-destruction. Bigscreen character studies don’t get more mesmerizing than this. Make a note to see it. You’re guaranteed a gold-star day. RICK KISONAK

fessional hit men (and women) take the bait. FBI agents Donald Carruthers (Ray Liotta) and Richard Messner (Ryan Reynolds) are dispatched to help protect Aces from the onslaught, not knowing that an infiltration of killers has already arrived, and will put an X over many an eye before the truth of Primo Sparazza is exposed. “He said the shit could get hot, could get heavy. I say cool. ’Cause I got two of the hottest, heaviest, bitches alive.” Assassin-broker Loretta Wyman (Davenia McFadden) relates her laconic description of Georgia Sykes (Alicia Keys) and her lesbian girlfriend Sharice Watters (Taraji Henson — Hustle & Flow) to the feisty soul sisters in a diner scene that dips its toe into Tarantino’s territory of tangy exposition. Carnahan’s razor-sharp postmodern dialogue infects the movie with an entertaining repartee that sizzles. However, he over-plots the movie with a tacked-on ending that ties up veiled loose ends and usurps the film’s overriding comedic tone with a dramatic phrasing that muddles rather than polishes. As amusing as it is to see Carnahan’s cartoon assassins clash in an inevitable barrage of bullets, the main glory is in the build-up. Scene-stealer Jason Bateman milks the comedy as quack attorney Rupert “Rip” Reed, a self-deprecating masturbation addict with a fetish for rabbit costumes and panties. Reed hires slimy Las Vegas bail-bondsman Jack Dupree (Ben Affleck) and his partners, ex-vice cop Pete Deeks (Peter Berg) and Deeks’ disinterested former partner Hollis, to catch Aces for jumping bail. The three characters are immediately familiar as marginally bad

guys we can root for. But Carnahan dodges expectation and throws in the first of many plot surprises. Only one of the three will make it to the end of the story, albeit a few fingers short. Although surrounded by well-drawn supporting characters, Jeremy Piven’s Aces anchors the frenetic action that swirls around him. When he isn’t tossing out and ordering up more prostitutes and snorting copious amounts of cocaine, Aces spends what he knows are his last hours practicing with a deck of cards. Jeremy Piven’s sleight-of-hand work with cards is impressive. The actor blithely uses his character’s dexterous skill to punctuate convoluted conversations with his right- and left-hand men, Sir Ivy (Common) and Hugo (Joel Edgerton). Piven remained Hollywood’s best-kept secret until the HBO television show “Entourage” gave him room to run. The experience seems to have enriched and energized Piven’s approach to his role, and the result is something powerful and full of absorbing subtext. He doesn’t merely give himself over to the part but invigorates the character with a pulsing rhythm of narcoticsdriven emotion. Whether the drugs on Carnahan’s set were real or not matters little; Piven regulates every second of his dynamic performance to good effect. Smokin’ Aces is an energetic action movie with more than a few genuine surprises and notable ensemble performances. Joe Carnahan was originally due to direct Mission Impossible: III, but was unceremoniously taken off the project before it went into production. It’s a shame, really, because he would certainly have gone to an even darker and more exposed place than J.J. Abrams was willing to take the script. Nonetheless, Joe Carnahan is a force of nature as a writer and a director, with an ability to consistently extract remarkable performances from his actors. Ray Liotta, who did terrific work on Carnahan’s Narc, adds palpably, with an expressive performance as an FBI agent on his last big mission. COLE SMITHEY

Fish List Tilley’s Café charts new courses on lower Church street by RUTH HOROWITZ

ow do you get your bearings with a menu that includes brie and caramelized onion quesadilla, ratatouille risotto, Southwest chicken Caesar salad and spicy tuna sushi? At Tilley’s Café, newly opened at the former Coyote’s Café site in downtown Burlington, the food is all over the map. Co-owners Newcomb Munt and Suzanne Johnson call it “Uncharted Cuisine.” The idea seems to be that you’ve stepped off lower Church Street and onto a schooner that might drift just about anywhere — as long as it’s got azure waters, warm breezes and fish that jump straight from the ocean and onto your plate. The décor drives home the point with a model yacht, a salt-water aquarium, trompe l’oeil murals depicting an

like a deck hand in a navy-blue polo shirt, pointed out the “water menu” — a tough sell, as it turned out; eau de Burlington won out over bottled Fiji and San Pellegrino. More effectively, she recommended two pieces of coconut-pineapple cornbread in the breadbasket that might otherwise have been overlooked. Moist and light and reminiscent of pineapple-upside-down cake, only without the cloying sweetness, the cornbread was the first of several pleasant surprises. Caesar salad seems pretty standard, but the one that came with the “Paniolo” steak order was nice and funky, with sheets of shaved Parmesan laid on top. Next came an outstanding — and enormous — short-ribs appetizer, with the meat cut into thin crosssection slices and grilled. How often does an appetizer necessitate a doggy bag?

To entice customers who might balk at braving the downtown scene, the restaurant is offering free valet parking — a Burlington first, munt believes. imaginary lower-latitude shoreline and, coming soon, an actual dinghy for kids to play in. Sure, it’s a bit Jimmy Buffet. And localvores might beef about the “ingredients sourcing” — grilled pineapple and mango in salads, guava buerre blanc on mahi mahi, and fresh fish flown in daily all the way from Hawaii. But the result turns out to be damned good. The service was attentive and professional on a recent weeknight. The waitress, dressed

Both the steak and Ahi tuna entrées arrived rare — exactly as requested. Even the garnishes delivered. The shitake mushrooms and julienned snow peas on the tuna proved to be perfect complements. And the silky wilted spinach under the escolar “Vera Cruz” had a mouth-watering, browned-butter taste. The only missed note was the lime and coconut crème brulée, in which the custard under the delicious crust had been unevenly cooked — too hard on the bottom and too soft on top.

The dinner was quite impressive for a restaurant that hadn’t even officially launched — Tilley’s “officially” opens this Friday. But the folks at the helm are hardly beginners. Chef Lisa Foster — a St. Johnsbury native and NECI grad — owned a bistro in Ohio and worked for several years in Hawaii, where she picked up the fusion approach evident in many of her dishes. Munt, 46, comes with 25 years’ experience in the service industry; he opened

restaurants for Four Seasons resorts and Tommy Bahama’s — the tropical-themed chain whose influence can also be felt at Tilley’s. Johnson, 44, ran a take-out restaurant in Snowmass, Colorado, and has extensive experience in sales, especially real estate, which she still does full-time. At Tilley’s, she handles behind-the-scenes marketing and front-of-the-house customer schmoozing. >> 0 B

The owners also know Burlington. Munt was born and raised here; he’s the son of Janet Munt, the former Democratic state senator from Chittenden County. After leaving home at 18 to attend Florida State, he moved to Southern California, where he trained as a stuntman before diving into the restaurant business. He returned to Vermont a year and a half ago, in time for his mom’s double kneereplacement surgery. It turned out to be the right move. While home, he received a business call from a woman whose name he didn’t recognize. Forty-five minutes later, they’d sorted out the misunderstanding, and discovered a spark. Today the two are not only in business together but engaged to be married. “He got me, three kids, two dogs, a cat and a pony,” Johnson says. Munt’s Tommy Bahama’s island vibe blends well with her nautical background. She grew up near the ocean, in Greenwich, Connecticut, and on Martha’s Vineyard. The “Tilley” in the restaurant’s name refers to her golden retriever — whose moniker derives from the tiller that steers a boat. But the restaurant is really a tribute to Johnson’s father. Frank Snyder, who died last June, was instrumental in the development of Stratton Mountain in the early 1960s, and had a passion for sailing. He was commodore of the New York Yacht Club and a competitor in 27 Bermuda races, according to his daughter. “He sailed halfway around the world with my mother,” she says. “It’s in my blood.” Her dad’s favorite boat, Chasseur, turns up in the mural at Tilley’s. The painting was produced by Lillian Kennedy, a long-time friend of Munt’s mother, and the woman responsible for the Roman scene at Sweetwaters. After getting her start in Burlington, she created landscape murals for Tavern on the Green and the Bronx Zoo, among other Big Apple venues. Now a resident of Boulder, Kennedy happened to be visiting Janet Munt when she heard about the nascent restaurant and offered to paint the walls. Her sun-and-water scenery says “vacation” — which is exactly what Munt wants customers to feel when they step inside. Munt and Johnson’s optimistic vision extends to the world outside, as well. After the fire last weekend at Five Spice Café and Big Daddy’s down the block, people suggested that the owners of Tilley’s — which didn’t suffer any damage — would benefit from the decreased competition. Johnson bristles at the suggestion. “We’re very sad,” she says. “It’s always better to have more restaurants than fewer. It’s sad to see such a big stronghold gone, at least temporarily.” If Munt gets his wish, whatever eateries reopen in the damaged spaces will be part of a revitalized

block. While the strolling, shopping and dining scene has made the Church Street Marketplace flourish, he points out, businesses beyond the pedestrian mall have struggled. Part of the problem is that lower Church Street’s eating and drinking establishments have tended to draw more for their drinks than for their eats. The lower-block crowd has been disproportionately college-aged, which can discourage young families and older clientele. The situation is most acute at 2 a.m., when about 4000 partiers pour out of the bars and converge at the corner of Church and Main. Munt calls the crowd “a logistical nightmare for the police.” He hopes to take the block in a new direction. To help cut down the 2 a.m. chaos, Tilley’s closes at 1. To entice customers who might balk at braving the downtown scene, the restaurant is offering free

on them as well.” Streetscape is an overarching concern. “I’d like to see the city and surrounding communities get on the bandwagon to revitalize the area outside the Marketplace,” Munt says. He argues that the outlying blocks could be brought back to their “natural beauty” with better sidewalks, new lighting fixtures and planters. To pay for these improvements, he suggests the city designate the area around the Flynn as a theater district, so it would qualify for federal revitalization grants. When he talks this way, Munt sounds more like a politician than a food purveyor. His inner policymaker comes through even more when he mentions that servers at Tilley’s are paid $5 an hour — $1.35 more than the going rate for waitstaff. “My mom and several other people are trying to get the service-industry a liveable

valet parking — a Burlington first, Munt believes. Says Johnson, “I’m coming from being a single mom with three kids. I can appreciate how hard it is for people to come out for dinner.” In addition to the kid-friendly dinghy, Munt and Johnson say they’ll provide stories at the tables, penned by her brother and illustrated by her sister, about Tilley the dog’s sailing adventures. But Tilley’s isn’t just trying to be family-friendly. To capture folks from the Flynn post-performance, the café will feature late-night fare from 11 to 1 — “a special we’ve run during the day that’s left over, soups, sushi,” Munt suggests. The aim is to “give people a viable alternative to pizza, hot dogs and gravy fries,” he continues, then adds, “Not that there’s anything wrong with gravy fries. I grew up

wage,” he explains, noting that a bill now before the legislature would phase out the difference between the state’s minimum wage for tipped and untipped workers. “We’re letting people know it’s OK to work in the service industry,” he says. “There are professionals working in the industry in this town.” He’s one of them — a fact that becomes clear by the end of a nearly perfectly orchestrated evening at Tilley’s. The restaurant’s slogan may be “Uncharted Cuisine,” but very little here has been left to chance. That’s a good thing for the customer. There’s nothing more relaxing than knowing you’re in good hands, even if your “vacation” only lasts as long as it takes to enjoy a pink grapefruit and avocado salad. >

College cafeterias aren’t known for their “cuisine,” but the University of Vermont plans to redefine dining at the new Dudley H. Davis Student Center. When it opens next fall, two faves — the Farmer’s Diner of Quechee and New World Tortilla — will be permanent food fixtures. They’ll adjoin the extensive “Marketplace” serving sushi, Indian cuisine, organic options and fresh bread. Brennan’s Pub and Bistro, named after donors Robert and Carolyn Brennan — no relation to “the Coach” — will offer some local products, too: Bruegger’s bagels and coffee from Speeder & Earl’s. You don’t have to be enrolled to eat. UVM contracts with national food service provider Sodexho; in the past, that arrangement has severely limited the school’s local buying options. To sell to Sodexho, farmers and specialtyfood businesses have to jump through more hoops than when they deal with a grocery store or co-op. But since 2005, UVM has been working with the Vermont Fresh Network and area farmers to serve students more fare from local sources. Black River Produce, now Sodexho-certified, has become one of UVM’s main purveyors. The University also gets veggies from Arethusa Farm in Burlington’s Intervale. With the Davis Center, UVM is taking another step towards sustainability by allowing independent restaurants to sell directly to students on campus. “It’s unheard of for a national contractor to invite in local businesses to share the wealth,” says Paul Bahan, director of marketing for University Dining Services. So what happened? Focus groups of UVM faculty and staff, community members and students were asked what kinds of food and services they wanted to see at the Davis Center. The overwhelming answer? Support local business. Last April, more than a dozen vendors visited the current student center at Billings and “demonstrated their culinary prowess” Bahan reports. UVM then asked them to submit business plans — including detailed info about pricing, menu options and the company’s commitment to sustainability and the community. On December 15, UVM announced the chosen candidates. Farmer’s Diner is particularly “environmentally conscious,” says Bahan, and “they’re very democratic in their pricing.” The Diner offers a “traditional, seasonal dinertype menu,” with 70 percent of ingredients coming from within a 75-mile radius. “We’re very proud that they’re going to be partnering with us,” Bahan concludes. New World is “very committed to using Vermont products whenever possible,” and “is an excellent value,” he continues. A third, non-local selection, the WOW Café & Wingery, is a chain based in New Orleans. They’ll work out of the Pub. The Davis Center team is talking with Sakura about a “sushi concept” for the marketplace. “You wanted local dining options,” Bahan boasts. “We’ve got ’em.” They’re learning . . .

Since the Blue Star opened and the roastery got cranking, the coffee has been available on the www.freshcoffeenow.com website.

Although web business has declined somewhat since Sutte began focusing heavily on the local market, he still sells about 750 bags in cyberspace each month.

Your new daily ritual.

n the third day of a nasty cold, I got tired of “sick-person food,” and decided to roast a chicken for dinner. I rubbed the bird with golden olive oil and sprinkled it with sea salt and pepper, then popped it in a 400-degree oven with a couple of plump beets. Cheerfully, I curled up in a wool blanket, prepared to snooze and daydream as I waited for the aroma of browning fat and savory meat to reach my nostrils and tantalize my diminished appetite. An hour later, I delicately sniffed the air. Nothing. Had I forgotten to turn on the oven? Nope, I could hear the hissing

I had been taking my sense of smell for granted, and like a neglected lover, it had run off. Cooks like me, who snub kitchen timers in favor of old-fashioned sensory cues, find ourselves at a loss when the nose goes. After years of cataloguing the scents of various foods at different stages of readiness, I no longer have to think about it. Toasting nuts smell rich when they begin to brown, but the scent turns “dark” right before they burn. Eggs on the verge of overcooking have a distinctive aroma. Perfectly prepared cabbage has a sweet vegetal bouquet; it doesn’t get stinky unless it’s overcooked. Usually, I can pull baking

a while. Everyone suffers a few ill effects when their olfaction goes astray. Sans the sense of smell, it’s harder to determine when the cat’s litter box needs to be cleaned, or when to take out the trash. The laundry “sniff test” goes out the window, too. And it’s really tough to tell how much garlic was in the Caesar salad you had for lunch — probably best to err on the side of Listerine. But aesthetic considerations pale in comparison to the potential dangers of a nose that no longer knows. Deadly gas leaks become undetectable, toast chars and blackens under the broiler, and it’s hard to tell if the milk is still safe to drink. Hint: Chunks

I greedily gobble spoonfuls of silky avocado that feel like caresses on my tongue. I nosh on wasabi peas, loving the way they make me gasp and send tears trickling down my cheeks.

gas and the lovely crackling of roasting poultry. I walked over to the oven, opened the door, and held my face in the escaping breath of steam. Nothing. Could my sense of smell simply be gone? I jangled around the house, straining to detect the fragrances of various household items. A jar of grated nutmeg smelled just like my lavender dish detergent, which had the exact same aromatic notes as a box of pungent sandalwood incense: nada. I began to panic. My career as a food writer is based on my ability to detect nuances of flavor and scent. With my sense of smell out of commission, my sense of taste would be seriously dulled as well. What good am I if I can’t figure out which herb a chef cleverly slipped into his Hollandaise sauce, or find the hint of guava in a glass of Viognier?

beets from the oven at the perfect moment. It’s a matter of picking up just the right amount of their distinctive, earthy-sweet aroma. But now I couldn’t. I knew the smell was there, filling my little kitchen and perhaps my neighbors’, but I couldn’t access it. Instead, I opened the oven every 10 minutes to squeeze the beets with my fingers, each time letting out all of the heat. Luckily, I could still tell when the chicken was done without sticking a knife in and releasing all its juices — I simply pressed its breast and thighs and felt that its flesh was just firm enough. I ate my dinner, but the event had lost much of its joy. Food writers and cooks aren’t the only people who are troubled by temporary anosmia — the technical term for losing one’s sense of smell for

are bad. Sampling sushi or enjoying raw oysters with your nose on break is scary, too. Is the fish fresh? Are the oysters good? Who knows? A disturbing but non-life-threatening symptom is a reduction in sex drive, which is probably due to an inability to detect human pheromones. Guess you won’t be needing those oysters, anyway. Because the pleasures of eating are strongly linked to the complex interplay of aromas with the four basic tastes — sweet, sour, salty and bitter — people with stuffy noses and a diminished sense of smell tend to eat less. When they do sit down to dinner, foods that are usually pleasant can seem unpalatable. The basic tastes are more pronounced, meaning that a mesclun salad can come off as bitter instead of balanced, and

cheddar cheese or canned soup may seem excessively salty. And in the absence of great flavor, a texture that can normally be overlooked may overwhelm. With my nose stuffed, the squeakiness of sauerkraut, a dish I usually enjoy, became unbearable. Luckily for me and other people who suffer from colds and stuffy noses, our anosmia is not forever. When the nasalmembrane swelling abates, aromas flood back. Not so for people who were born without the ability to smell, or who lose the power permanently due to Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or head trauma. The good news is that anosmia sufferers find ways to compensate so that they can still enjoy food, even in the absence of subtler flavors and aromas. Playing up visual appeal with colorful fruits and veggies is one way. Another is combining salty, sour, bitter and sweet flavors in the same dish to squeeze as much excitement as possible into every bite. Changing up textures and adding other stimuli, like hot spices, can do the trick as well. Day 10 of this cold, and my sense of smell is still MIA. But I think it may be on

the way back. This morning I held a damp pile of fresh orange peels to my nose, and the aroma was dangling just beyond my ability to detect it. Sometimes when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m distracted, I experience something that seems like a smell, but as soon as I try to hone in, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone. I make a point of sniffing the nutmeg each time I walk through the kitchen, just to let my nose know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m paying attention. Losing my sense of smell hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eliminated my interest in eating. But I have found myself enjoying different foods, based on enticing qualities I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think much about before. I greedily gobble spoonfuls of silky avocado that feel like caresses on my tongue. I nosh on wasabi peas, loving the way they make me gasp and send tears trickling down my cheeks. I linger over a bowl of cottage cheese, enjoying the texture of the curds. Eating foods at different temperatures helps, too. I chase a warm oatmeal cookie with a glass of cold soymilk. Yep, I definitely enjoyed that. But even with these compensations, I still crave the whole package. I want my new focus on texture and temperature to blend with my attention to subtle flavors. When I let vanilla ice cream melt in

my mouth, enjoying the satiny richness and the shock of cold, I still crave the delicate perfume. Even as I learn to appreciate how roasted potatoesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; crisp browned edges give way to a supple interior, I miss their earthy flavor. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made a silent vow to my errant sense of smell: If you come back, I will remember the crucial role you play in my life. I will regularly seek out thrilling new experiences for us to share â&#x20AC;&#x201D; stinky, washed-rind cheeses, exotic fruits and aged red wines â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never want to leave again. But until that happens, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still dinner to get on the table. Tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menu: Thai red curry. Red peppers, pink shrimp, glowing orange sweet potatoes and verdant basil leaves will provide a banquet for my eyes. The combination of spice, sweetness, acidic lime juice and fatty coconut milk will entice my taste buds. An extra drizzle of salty fish sauce will enhance the other flavors. The curry will be warm, and the just-tender veggies will yield agreeably under my teeth as grains of jasmine rice scatter in my mouth with each bite. Time to get cooking. >

HARVEY RIDES AGAIN

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Vermont jazz legend James Harvey. Seems he’s taken a break from composing and performing, having burned out on gigs in noisy bars. Can’t say I blame the guy; playing highwire improv for the inebriated or uncaring can take its toll on the musical soul. “It’s not so much how I feel about music,” he recently told me. “It’s just what I feel about how music fits into the culture. I’m just not comfortable with it anymore. But I wouldn’t feel any better if I was a painter.” Still, Harvey has a couple of appearances lined up. He’ll perform on solo piano at St. Leo’s Parish Hall in Waterbury on February 2, and at the Burlington Shambhala Center on February 24. Which begs the question: Why, given his aversion to performance, is he playing these PHOTO: KERRIE MATHES gigs at all? The answer is at least partly Higher Ground Ballroom on financial. “I might be taking a job that Thursday, February 1. requires me to go to school for a couple of The event, a benefit for months, and I’ll need my living expenses Vermont music advocates Big paid,” he says.

Ellington, Rodgers and Hart and The If you were born after the first Star Wars flick was released, allow Rolling Stones,” he offers. I never really thought of the Stones as me to explain: The original “Gong Show” featured an endless parade jazzy, but at Harvey’s fingertips, anything’s possible. of marginally talented individuals competing for prizes. It was a preCan we expect any future engagements? “To me, it’s a young cursor to “American Idol,” and perhaps the first broadcast in which man’s game,” Harvey says of performance. “Which is not to say that I train-wreck performances were not just expected, but encouraged. don’t like playing, and I’m sure I’ll do it once in a while.

Why aren’t there any good cockfights around here? But I couldn’t resist being part of the “Rawk Hawd Gong Show,” which takes place in the

SOUL PATROL While putting together the weekly club listings, I happened to notice a band called Soul V booked to perform at Winooski’s Monkey House on Saturday, February 3, and Langdon Street Café in Montpelier on Valentine’s Day. I had a sneaking suspicion that this group might be

related to Soulvation Army, a multi-member funk act that turned a few heads in ’06. My instincts were right on. SA and SV member Paddy Reagan recently filled me in on the finer points of each group. “Soulvation Army is the big band with 13 people now,” Reagan explains. “It’s got Mike Gorgone at the front, back-up singers . . . it’s a bit of a spectacle.” Reagan told me that Gorgone teaches music at a Massachusetts elementary school, and Soul V is a way for other band members to perform “with respect for our man Mike G.” It’s still a pretty big band, however, with an average of 10 musicians at any given gig. But Reagan stresses the two groups are musically distinct. “There’s definitely a different element when Mike’s around, based mostly on the energy he brings to the stage,” JAY FARRAR & CRESTON LEA he says. And that’s not the only Soulvation spinoff out there. Each Friday at 7 p.m., members of the collective assemble at Radio Bean for “Soul Sessions,” a semi-open jam featuring “whatever Soul V musicians we can get together and some sit-ins,” according to Reagan. Fans of the main group can get their fill when Soulvation Army returns to Higher Ground for a Mardi Gras kickoff gig on Friday, February 16. I’ve been told the band will be performing a tribute to Sly & the Family Stone with some special guests. Hope this clears things up.

IRON MAN I recently received an email from guitar maker/rocker Creston Lea about his impromptu performance in the Big Apple last week. “I went to New York to see some of my guitars get played,” he wrote. “And I ended up guesting with Gob Iron on Friday at Maxwell’s and Saturday at Northsix.” Gob Iron is the collaboration of singer-songwriters Anders Parker and Jay Farrar, both of whom have been known to rock Creston axes. “It’s hard to ask for a more gratifying experience than getting to watch a great show featuring three of your guitars, and then, at the most exciting part of the set, joining the show,” he wrote. “It was unexpected, and really fun.” Gob Iron recently released their debut CD, Death Songs for the Living, which features creative interpretations of old folk tunes. In other Jay Farrar news, a reconstituted Son Volt will appear at Higher Ground on Friday, April 13. Wouldn’t it be cool if Lea sat in at that show?

YOUTH OF TODAY::

Boyish singer-guitarist

Brett Dennen

trades in feel-good pop that doesn’t take the listener’s intelligence for granted.

Championed by the likes of John Mayer, he’s likely the Next Big Thing on the songwriting scene. But Dennen is as comfortable playing small shows as he is leading his band through sets at mega-festivals such as Bonnaroo. Either way, his lilting grooves and affable melodies are the main attraction. Hear for yourself when Dennen plays the Higher Ground Ballroom with Sara Bareilles this Saturday. Partial proceeds go to Chill — a Burton Snowboard foundation helping underprivileged kids get their ride on.

reviewthis THE POWDER KEGS, THE SEEDHOUSE

SCOTT TOURNET, EVERYONE YOU MEET IS FIGHTING A HARD BATTLE

(Self-released, CD)

(Illusion Records, CD)

Most Vermonters know Scott Tournet as the guitarist for the ever-ascendant Grace Potter & the Nocturnals. Touring and recording with that group is a full-time job, yet Tournet still finds time to produce and release music under his own name. His latest solo effort is the curiously titled Everyone You Meet Is Fighting a Hard Battle. The album is a guitar-driven affair, packed with the ’70s-style playing Tournet is known for. His singing is plain in a good way, devoid of pretense or affectation. It’s nice to hear a male rock voice free of macho mannerisms and artificial emotion. The disc offers quite a few gems. I was instantly smitten with “Homefunk,” which kicks off with a slinky bass line that’s soon joined by feisty chord vamps and choice slow-hand licks. Tournet’s buttery vocals are excellent, nicely complementing the tune’s sensual groove. “Judgment Day” is also quite interesting. It’s built on a modified J.J. Cale-style shuffle, upon which silvery guitar and subdued vocals compete for attention. The result is both familiar and forward-looking, and provides a fine example of Tournet’s broad musicality. There are a few ballads, such as the profoundly bleak “Share Your Grave.” Coarse vocals and melancholic guitar are met by moody fiddle from guest Patrick Ross. The blend, while beautiful, practically bleeds pathos. “Feelin’ Bad/Feelin’ Mean” is equally doleful, but a good deal more spacious. A muted, Mark Knopfleresque number, it boasts ghostly guitar flourishes and intimate, almost whispered vocals. Not all the tracks are as engaging, however. Some are built on repetitive chord progressions that might be conducive to live jamming but sound kind of dull on record. The biggest offender is “Sitting Here (Too Long),” which has plenty of axe action but little in the way of melody or hook. The rock-by-numbers “Sinkin’ In” suffers from a similar lack of imagination. “Tell You the Truth” contains a few nice slide runs, but sounds more like a GP&N reject than the locomotive blues workout it aspires to be. Everyone You Meet Is Fighting a Hard Battle is what we music critics like to call “uneven”: The good stuff is excellent, the rest, well, not so much. But chances are, even the weak tunes will sound solid live. Find out for yourself when Tournet and his band play the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge on Saturday, February 3, with Luke Eriksen.

Bluegrass is a genre that seems to find its way into a variety of listeners’ collections, from folkies to rockers. I’m no exception — I’ve always felt that when the air gets crisp and apples are ready for picking, there’s nothing like hearing a little pickin’. But I’m not sure The Powder Kegs’ debut, The Seedhouse, will be the soundtrack to any of my drives to the orchard next fall. The band — originally from Poughkeepsie, New York — brought its energetic take on bluegrass to local clubs last summer, quickly gaining attention. What can be summoned onstage isn’t always captured in the studio, however, and much of their debut sounds like second-generation Phish disciples running backwards to catch the O Brother bandwagon. The group’s lineup conforms to that of a conventional bluegrass outfit, albeit with the addition of harmonica. Things kick off with a spirited take on Woody Guthrie’s “Hard Travelin’.” Yet you only need to listen for about 30 seconds before the album’s chief flaw is revealed: These guys aren’t the most proficient instrumentalists. In other words, there’s a whole lot of strumming and not much picking. Fortunately, fiddle player Sam McDougle salvages the song with his dexterous fills. TPK tackle traditional songs such as “Cumberland Gap,” “Policeman,” and “John Brown’s Dream,” employing a similarly insipid formula — upbeat tempo, limited chords and vocals that range from pleasant to awkward. The lone original, “Take Another Shot (at Me),” isn’t much of an improvement. What was likely intended to be a show-stopping dobro solo is loosed partway through. Unfortunately, it reminded me less of Jerry Douglas and more of a kid who stumbles upon an instrument in his attic and spends a week working out something to play for his friends. When the band slows things down, as they do on reinterpretations of both Hank Williams’ “Lonesome Whistle” and The Rolling Stones’ “Dead Flowers,” they display a sincerity lacking in the faster numbers. In addition, the well-executed vocal harmonies prove there’s some potential here. The jam community will invariably eat this stuff up because it’s “fun” and you can dance to it. How true-blue ’grassheads will respond remains to be seen. At the moment, The Powder Kegs lack the technical prowess and creativity of other regional acts such as Breakaway or Banjo Dan. But with continued practice and the addition of a few more originals, their Seedhouse might bear fruit. JOSH LACLAIR

fresh eyre If you’re a girl, and you read a lot as a kid, there’s probably a dog-eared copy of Jane Eyre somewhere in your past. Charlotte Brontë’s romance novel was originally published in 1847, but its governess heroine still speaks to modern maids. Because of the book’s broad appeal, the New York-based theater troupe The Acting Company chose a production for cross-country touring that puts a new twist on Brontë’s classic tome. (Alums of the acclaimed company include Kevin Kline, among other Juilliard drama grads.) Playwright Polly Teale’s adaptation features stunning imagery and period costumes on a sparse set; it dramatizes the title character’s struggle to come of age as she weighs passion against religion and honor. Dear Reader, don’t miss the end. ‘Jane Eyre’ Discussion

scene@ “THE ONE” FASHION SHOW SHOWCASE LOUNGE, HIGHER GROUND, SOUTH BURLINGTON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 7 P.M.

photo: joRdan sIlveRman

There’s nothing like a fashion show to inspire spiffiness, even if the runway takeoff happens to be scheduled on a below-zero night. Attendees of Saturday’s benefit for the Boys & Girls Club of Burlington brought on the bling and Blahniks anyway, and compensated with luxe winter coats. While I bellied up to the crowded bar, development director Sara Wool explained that the club’s three Burlingtonarea branches include a newly renovated clubhouse in the city’s Old North End. For a mere $5 per annum, more than 1800 young people between the ages of 5 and 20 use the club, and it relies on donations and volunteers. The evening’s event seemed designed to raise both from the city’s twentysomething-to-fortysomething set. Nine sets of clothes made the rounds on models of both genders and all ages, featuring threads from sponsoring stores across the state. Almir Salkic, a young Burlington B&G Club alum who helped organize the event, opened the show with his eponymous label, and came out at the end of his segment wearing a blue blazer, with a model on each arm, to bow and blow kisses to the crowd. My favorite outfits were from Made Boutique, a Burlington-based, DIY-centric gallery featuring local labels Urban Farmgirl and Damn Fine Pants, among others. A blue, bell-shaped skirt with straps made way for a taupe dress that seemed ho-hum from the front, but when the model turned, an intriguing keyhole shape in back inspired audience “ooohs.” Models had fun playing with catwalk conventions. Younger ones tended to follow supermodel stereotypes, strutting and turning in time to the tunes. Older ladies danced their way around the stage, prompting hoots and hollers from their friends. Fundraising totals and thank-yous were announced between fashion sets. One $300 check came on the condition that MC Bill Price pronounce one of the models’ names correctly — Price, a teacher at South Burlington High, took it in good spirits, joking about phonetically writing out the moniker 100 times on a blackboard. The night’s highlight arrived when kids from the Burlington Boys and Girls Club modeled their own creations. The gaggle of giggling teens and preteens had been hanging out in the semicircular VIP balcony above the dance floor, and came down to display dresses, skirts, slacks, headbands, belts and deconstructed T-shirts of their own design, to waves of applause. Three tough-girl types who couldn’t have been much older than 13 strode to the front of the stage, sideways ponytails swaying, then carefully executed a simultaneous turn to show off ripped-sleeve vests and knotted knitwear. After the garment-district patrol, dance music inspired well-dressed donors to shake a tailfeather, and when I left, the shindig was well on its way to netting over $10,000 for area youth programs.

THE WORLD-FAMOUS

HARLEM GOSPEL CHOIR

NIGHTINGALE FORCE When it comes to classical music, it can be hard to get away from those guys in the powdered wigs. But women and people of color have also written reams of classical repertoire, and the five musicians of the Imani Winds are putting underplayed pieces back on the map. The decade-old group has consistently produced concert programs that defy categorization, specializing in adventurous works for wind combos by African, Latin and American composers. Jazz legend Wayne Shorter commissioned Imani to play his composition â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terra Incognita,â&#x20AC;? and the ensemble turned heads with its recent multimedia tribute to Josephine Baker. The quintet breezes into town to perform works by Elliott Carter, Argentinean tango master Astor Piazzolla, Cuban-born saxophonist Paquito Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Rivera, Cesar Frank and its own flutist, Valerie Coleman.

JUST SAYING NO Regardless of whose side you’re on in the most recent round of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it’s tough to deny the value of voices that call for civil disobedience and nonviolent resistance instead of armed escalation. “I was in Mohammed’s hometown when the wall was being built,” recalls S’ra DeSantis of Vermonters for a Just Peace in Palestine/Israel. She helped organize Vermont venues for Mohammed Khatib and Feryal Abu Haikal, two Palestinians from the West Bank who speak this week in Montpelier and Burlington as part of a national tour sponsored by the International Solidarity Movement. They explain their personal motivations for following the methods of Mahatma Gandhi, another activist who believed his country was languishing under occupiers. Hear for yourself.

If you’re looking for relationships, dates, flirts, or to hook-up, this is your scene. WOMEN seeking MEN STELLA BY STARLIGHT Easy-going, fun, smart, with a big heart. Things I love? Hiking Camel’s Hump, riding my bike in a skirt, walking downtown in the snow to the Crow Bookstore, cooking soup on a Saturday night while listening to P.H.C., snuggling with my kids, live jazz... The guy in my world will be kind, patient, strong and silly. MazinGrace, 39, l, #103605 CAMPFIRE GIRL SEEKS BOY SCOUT Can you come out to play?

CampfireGirl, 44, l, #103600 FEISTY, ARGUMENTATIVE, WARMHEARTED, SOULFUL I am an intensely independent professional who thinks playing is as important as working. Looking for a man who has his own life to share, play, dance and discover. Compassion, honesty, passion and empathy. Travel, friends, and dogs are a critical component to my happiness. Love of education is an ongoing theme, has taken me to exotic places to practice. otter, 53, #103598 SEARCHING FOR LIKEMINDED GENTLEMAN! SWF 23, seeking kind-hearted, down-to-Earth honest SM.

Evangeline, 45, l, #103588 SASSY, SAVVY, SLIGHTLY SIXTY Active, attractive, professional - serious to silly; seeking bright, witty “partner in crime” to relish life’s pleasures - from trips to “homey cheapo” to the symphony.

Readysetgo, 60, l, #103557 IMMEDIATE OPENING(S), APPLY NOW. Not THAT kind of opening! Intelligent, youthful, attractive woman likes music, museums, building stuff, taking stuff apart (and hopefully putting it back together w/no leftover parts), reading, watching people, music, waltzing, wine, sky, Manhattan, biking, cooking, having fun. Don’t want a prince, knight, or someone to “complete” me. Just a nice, comfortable companion to hang out with now and then. intheworld, 48, l, #103558

Rystall, 21, l, #103523 LADY IS LONELY AND LONGING I’m delightful and happy and honest and passion filled. I’m looking for honesty and compassion with a lot of serenity mixed throughout.

Nothing is hotter than just being interested. P.S. Desperately seeking my first I Spy. zephyrsgirl, 21, u, l, #103494 CLASSY WOMAN I’m an intelligent, active professional woman equally comfortable in jeans & cashmere. I love my profession but work to travel-Montreal, the Carribean, Paris (one of my favorites-the museums are great), Italy & London.

Dear Mistress Maeve, My boyfriend is a chronic masturbator. I wouldn’t mind so much if he would also pay sexual attention to me more than two to three times per month. I have been trying to figure it out for nine years, and it’s making me crazy. I have a head full of assumptions, and I feel that it’s his way of controlling me. Otherwise, everything else in our relationship is OK. I do talk to him about this problem, but he doesn’t change and refuses to go to therapy. Please help.

Lost in Love

Dear Lost in Love, Your boyfriend’s masturbation habits are not the problem here. If he were selfpleasuring 10 times a day, but still meeting your sexual needs, you probably wouldn’t care how many times he spanked his monkey. The problem is — he doesn’t seem to care about your needs. What’s worse is that you suspect him of withholding sex as a means of control in your relationship, and that’s a red flag. Whether consciously or subconsciously, a partner will sometimes withhold sex in a passive-aggressive attempt to regain power when he or she feels inferior. Does your boyfriend feel challenged by you financially, professionally, at home or otherwise? If so, this may be the root of the problem. In some extreme instances, a man’s inferiority complex can manifest as erectile dysfunction. Of course, this is all speculation. Because your man refuses to work on this problem or go to therapy, there’s no way to tell what’s really going on in your relationship. You can’t wave a magic wand and get him to change, so you’re the one who has to change. Look inside yourself — what are you willing to live with? You’ve invested nine years in this relationship. How long are you willing to wait to get a return on your investment? It’s time to draw a line in the sand and see if he’ll cross it to be with you. If he’s not willing to do the work to save your relationship, he’s not worth any more of your time. And one more piece of advice: Just because he’s not willing to go to therapy doesn’t mean you shouldn’t seek help for yourself. Whether you stay in this relationship or not, you deserve to have your feelings heard and validated — even if you have to pay someone to do it.

Not withholding,

It is for men who are who are dying to penetrate every bit of the world with their courage, their presence, their unbridled passion and relentless love, and their deepest burning, bubbling, brilliant desire. The group will function as a means for men to support each other and serve the greater good. We will be working with spiritual practices, the mind and body, and taking on our lives with the utmost integrity, impeccability and openness. The group is not a new age group, nor is it a group dedicated to therapy. Info, email zach@ handelgroup.com or call 917-8871276.
