WORD ON WELCH

COURTESY OF WINDHAM FOUNDATION

niversity of Vermont president Dan Fogel announced last week that he was stepping down a year earlier than expected for “deeply personal reasons.” The announcement came after the revelation in May that his wife, Rachel Kahn-Fogel, had a six-year amorous connection with a top university fundraising official. The results of an internal investigation into Kahn-Fogel’s behavior are expected next week.

Board chair Robert Cioffi said the university was “extremely fortunate” that Bramley was willing to step into the breach. “Quite frankly, there could not be a better choice for this job in light of John’s experience, skills, character and knowledge of UVM, in addition to his outstanding scholarly record,” said Cioffi. “Even though he will be in this role for a relatively short time, John is not going to be a ‘caretaker,’ and will be pushing our key initiatives forward.” Fogel will be on paid leave from the university until December 31, 2012. He plans to return as a tenured English professor in January 2013.

the Adirondack issue When you only write about a region once a year, it’s not hard to find

stories. Especially when it comprises more than 6 million acres. The ADIRONDACK PARK’S “FOREVER WILD” MANDATE makes human habitation both special and challenging. Kevin J. Kelley explores the issue in his saga about developers vs. environmentalists. Ken Picard reports on controversial MILITARY SURVEILLANCE missions over the park. He also inquires about a famous ursine resident upstate who laughs, we like to imagine, at the term “BEAR-RESISTANT CONTAINER.” Lauren Ober talks to a woman obsessed with the region’s DISAPPEARING PHONE BOOTHS, and listens in at a summer camp for YOUNG CLASSICAL MUSICIANS. Meanwhile, Dan Bolles gets a surprising reception BARHOPPING IN PLATTSBURGH. All this and more about our friends across the lake.

Natural Attraction There’s a reason the New York Times likened pioneer nature photographer Hobart Vosburg Roberts to a hunter armed with a camera. His innovative night photography was pretty stealthy back in the early 1900s — and it resulted in fascinating frames of leaping deer and feisty raccoons. See “Night Vision: The Wildlife Photography of Hobart Vosburg Roberts” for yourself at Blue Mountain Lake’s Adirondack Museum.

Tilting at Turbines

Wednesday, July 27 8-8 Thursday, July 28 & Friday, July 29 10-8

OPEN SEASON ON VERMONT POLITICS BY SHAY TOTTEN

f you like to visit Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom for its unspoiled natural beauty, better get up there quick. By next summer, 21 460foot wind turbines will likely be visible along more than three miles of ridgeline in Lowell as part of Green Mountain Power’s Kingdom Community Wind. If built, KWC will join the 16 turbines being raised this year on a nearby ridgeline in Sheffield by First Wind. The year after, another two dozen could be raised. Connecticut’s BNE Energy plans to erect roughly 18 turbines on the ridgeline that extends from Green Mountain Power’s Lowell wind farm south to Eden. Further north, a hillside farm in Derby Line is the site of a two-turbine project. Vermont’s environmental organizations aren’t saying much about these alternative-energy efforts. They seem to be sending a message that the greater good outweighs any and all potential environmental impacts derived from exploding ridgelines and building roads in some of the most sensitive mountain regions in the state. I mean, really, what could go wrong? GMP reported last week that some of its contractors cut down trees they weren’t supposed to, and one of the landowners who is providing conservation easements for the project went ahead and “improved” an existing logging road on his property. He also filled in a beaver pond. Whoops! No word yet from the Agency of Natural Resources on whether GMP or the landowner will face penalties for the screwups. ANR is still assessing the damage. Don’t hold your breath. In early February, the agency cut a deal with GMP to allow the Lowell project to go forward, despite concerns about bear habitat and the development’s impact on high-elevation waterways and wetlands, among other issues. Previously, ANR scientists had said there was no way to offset the ill effects of the wind project. The turnaround came after a heavy lobbying effort by GMP and pressure from Gov. PETER SHUMLIN — a longtime supporter of putting wind power on Vermont’s ridgelines. It was pure coincidence, of course, that GMP’s CEO MARY POWELL chaired Shumlin’s inaugural ball committee

— raising $190,000 from Vermont’s political and corporate elite — just a month prior to ANR’s decision. GMP gave $5000 for Shumlin’s party, while the Burlington law firm that represents GMP in regulatory proceedings — Sheehey Furlong & Behm — donated $2500. Coincidence that two of GMP’s board members, LIZ BANKOWSKI and KATHY HOYT, served on Shumlin’s transition team, and former GMP executive STEVE TERRY helped write Shumlin’s telecommunications plan for the state. Terry has been a key behind-the-scenes broker of GMP’s wind-power projects in Vermont, including Lowell’s Kingdom Community Wind. Coincidence that ROBERT DOSTIS, a GMP director of external affairs and

S TE VE WR I G HT, W IND - FAR M O P P O N EN T

community relations, took part in an energy policy focus group earlier this year assembled by Department of Public Service Commissioner ELIZABETH MILLER. The group included JAMES MOORE, the clean-energy advocate for Vermont Public Interest Research Group, a major advocate for wind development in Vermont. Miller’s department represents ratepayers in all cases before the Vermont Public Service Board and offered no objection to Kingdom County Wind. Another coincidence: Miller’s husband is a managing partner at Sheehey Furlong & Behm. ERIC MILLER doesn’t handle any GMP cases, Commissioner Miller told “Fair Game,” so she doesn’t anticipate having to recuse herself from any of the power company’s cases before the PSB. Miller’s former law-firm partner — JAMES SPINK — now works with her husband.

Don’t you just love how cozy a small state can be? Of course, when Gov. JIM DOUGLAS was running the show, his relationships with Entergy and Omya raised eyebrows among the state’s environmentalists. Omya officials regularly donated to Douglas’ campaigns, and, in return, the governor’s regulators overlooked concerns that the company was polluting groundwater. Ditto Entergy. When Entergy began leaking tritium in 2010, Douglas called for a “time out” in lieu of regulatory action. To date, Vermont’s largest environmental groups — VPIRG, Vermont Natural Resources Council and the Conservation Law Foundation — have been either silent or supportive of GMP’s wind project. One exception: Last week VNRC filed comments critical of draft water-quality permits being issued by ANR, claiming they provide less protection than agreements at comparable high-elevation ski-area developments at Stratton and Stowe. Only two, smaller environmental groups are flat-out opposing Vermont’s soon-to-be wind farms: Energize Vermont and Vermonters for a Clean Environment. “There is a gold-rush mentality,” said LUKE SNELLING of Energize Vermont. “We’re looking at these proceedings before the PSB and ANR as acceptance processes and not regulatory processes. The regulators are helping to get it done — rather than to get it right.” GMP spokeswoman DOROTHY SCHNURE counters that GMP mitigation efforts represent “an example of how these projects should be done.” She says GMP needs to break ground on Kingdom Community Wind by August 1. The turbines must be up and running by the end of 2012 in order to qualify for $40 million in federal tax credits. Is ANR fast-tracking the project for GMP? ANR Secretary DEB MARKOWITZ rejects the charge. While Gov. Shumlin sees it as a priority, she says she has her own priorities. “When the governor says he’s supportive, it tells me, as we’re deciding what gets to the top of the pile, that this is a priority,” said Markowitz. “Good customer service is also a priority — if they have an external deadline and we just try to meet that deadline, it doesn’t mean we shirk responsibility and cut corners.” ANR’s “customer service” approach

to GMP’s project irks VCE’s Annette “They bend over backward to meet GMP’s timeline and then try to tell us that there are no politics involved. Who are they kidding?” Steve Wright was Vermont’s fish and wildlife commissioner under Gov. mAdeleine Kunin and later worked at the National Wildlife Federation. Wright, who lives in neighboring Craftsbury, is a vocal Lowell wind-farm opponent. “The governor is free to make deals,” said Wright. “But his appointees also have an oath to protect the natural resources of the state and represent the citizens of the state.” Wright said Vermont is destroying tens of thousands of years of geological history to make room for one short-term power project that will last, at best, 40 years. Where are the environmental groups, Wright asks. “Why aren’t they acting with outrage that these mountains are being blasted away into rubble?”

It All Adds Up

He’s Not Dead Yet

City councilors who fêted outgoing chief administrative officer JonAthAn leopold with flowers and a standing ovation at his last council meeting should have waited a bit longer to kiss the disgraced CAO goodbye. Leopold will continue to consult for the city through at least the end of August. Mayor BoB KiSS made Leopold his right-hand man when he was first elected in 2006. The CAO gets credit for keeping the city on solid fiscal footing. He’s also the architect of Burlington Telecom’s $16.9 million “loan” from Burlington taxpayers. “The plan is for Jonathan to continue to do work for the city on a temporary basis for the purpose of a smooth transition in the clerk-treasurer’s office,” said Joe reinert, assistant to Mayor Kiss. Details of the arrangement should be finalized by week’s end.

Enviros may be reserving judgment on the development of Vermont’s ridgelines, but they’re expressive about Gov. Peter Shumlin’s decision to lease two Ford Expedition EXP Limited Extended 4x4s. Since cars account for 40 percent of Vermont’s greenhouse gas emissions, “Fair Game” figured the state’s “green police” would object to Shumlin’s choice of wheels. “Unless the governor has decided to hold cabinet meetings in his vehicle, the Expedition is overkill. It’s the kind of gas-guzzling behemoth that contributes mightily to our nation’s addiction to oil and is a climate catastrophe,” said pAul BurnS, VPIRG’s executive director. “There are far better vehicle choices out there for a leader who is otherwise such a champion of clean energy and climate solutions.” JAKe BroWn, spokesman for VNRC, added, “The choice of energy-inefficient SUVs like Ford Expeditions for what appears to be routine transportation is, at least at first blush, disappointing.” Maybe the gov should consider an SUV hybrid. m

The University of Vermont is going to pay a hefty price for president dAn Fogel’s early resignation. Just hours after he tendered his resignation — a year earlier than anticipated — trustees approved a revised severance package that gives Fogel 17 months of paid leave, from August 1, 2011, until December 31, 2012. That means he’ll soak up another $600,000 in salary and benefits before all is said and done — and without having to actually, you know, work. His benefits include an $1800-a-month housing allowance, a car allowance and an on-campus office. Fogel will also receive a “wellness fund” of up to $20,000 to spend before the end of 2012. Meanwhile, UVM is budgeting roughly $320,000 to find Fogel’s permanent replacement and will have to pay his temporary replacement, too. On Monday, UVM named former provost John BrAmley as the interim president. Fogel’s last day will be July 31. Bramley starts August 1. Bramley’s salary of $320,500 comes with but one perk: a car allowance. He won’t receive any deferred compensation or a housing allowance to commute from his home in Colchester. As an emeritus professor, Bramley already receives retiree health benefits from UVM. In all, Fogel’s departure will cost UVM a cool $1.26 million, or the equivalent of 55 in-state students, or 30 out-ofstate students, paying full tuition, room and board.

No wonder the university has to raise the price of college.

Tupper Lake, site of the proposed development, ranks among the poorer communities in the Adirondacks, with a median household income of less than $36,000. Everyone agrees that the town, about 75 miles west of Charlotte, Vt., needs the economic equivalent of a truckload of Red Bull. And the resort project represents exactly that, according to Republican State Sen. Betty Little, one of the most powerful politicians in the region. The Adirondack Council, the area’s strongest environmentalist group, argues that the deluxe “great camps” planned for the site would require new infrastructure and do nothing to help Tupper Lake’s depressed downtown. Hundreds of acres of trees would have to be felled to make way for the housing units, leading to soil erosion and the degradation of nearby lakes, the council adds. One of two new sewage-treatment plants required would discharge 10,000 gallons of treated effluent into a pond that would also be used for snowmaking. Those uses will forever alter the pond’s ecosystem, the resort’s opponents maintain. The Adirondack Park Agency — a New York State government body that acts as a sort of zoning board — is the “decider” on this proposal and all others involving major developments in the park. Like the referee in a high-stakes sporting event, it elicits boos from both sides. “The APA doesn’t balance economic considerations to the extent that it should,” Little complains. But according to John Sheehan, director of communications for the Adirondack Council, claims by some locals that the APA glows an iridescent green amount to no more than “folklore.” He points out that the agency has never rejected a development permit in its 40-year history. Little’s response: “The APA has never

he skirmishes that erupt in Vermont over the state’s Act 250 development law are nothing compared to the battles over land use in the Adirondacks. How uncompromising does it get on the western side of the lake? Curt Stiles, chairman of the Adirondack Park Agency, quotes his predecessor as saying, “People here would rather fight than win.” It’s not that Adirondackers are more predisposed to combat than their counterparts across the lake. Rather, the conflicts over development arise primarily from the unique nature of the contested terrain: 130,000 people living inside a park that’s roughly the same size as the state of Vermont. Not only that, but the park’s 6.1 million acres are a crazy quilt of public lands deemed “forever wild” alongside private property that includes farms, mines, timber operations, industrial parks, hunting camps, million-dollar second homes and tatty trailers. Given such a complicated amalgamation, battles over land use are inevitable — though the champions of the various factions are not always predictable. Republicans sometimes take strong conservationist stands; Democrats can be pro-development; green organizations don’t oppose every major building project, and one nature-preservation group promotes timber harvesting of its woodlands. The latest controversy surrounds the biggest project ever proposed for the park: the $500 million Adirondack Club and Resort. Philadelphia-area developer Michael Foxman, the principal in a partnership called Preserve Associates, wants to build about 700 homes and lodging units on parts of a 6300-acre site that includes the revitalized but stillstruggling Big Tupper ski area.

denied a permit because people either give up trying to get one or because it gets altered in a way the APA wanted.” Speaking for his agency, chairman Stiles observes that state law effectively prohibits the APA from rejecting a proposal out of hand. As an initial action, the agency can only approve a permit — with or without conditions. If its assessment is negative, the project must go before an outside adjudicatory body for a ruling, which then becomes the focus of a subsequent review by the APA. The agency is neither pro-conservation nor pro-development, Stiles insists, saying its designated duty is to give fair weight to competing interests within the context of state law. The APA’s job, he says, is “to match the use with the land.” Sounds straightforward, right? But achieving that outcome is seldom easy. And Stiles, 68, is done mediating. He’s leaving the APA next month after a four-year term as chairman. Libertarian attitudes are common in the Adirondacks, where Republicans hold most legislative offices. Views of the don’t-treadon-me variety are colorfully expressed by Fred Monroe, executive director of the Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board. Monroe warns, for example,

that “extreme environmental zealots” are pushing to impose land-use restrictions even tougher than the current regs, which many locals regard as unbearably onerous. For example, Monroe and other property-rights advocates in the park’s 103 towns and villages point scornfully to a regulation that permits construction of only one principal building per 42.7 acres in some privately owned parts of the park. The APA’s fiercest critics are also unhappy about restrictions on development in designated rural areas of the park, which require building lots of at least 8.5 acres. There’s also concern over a 3.2-acre stipulation for property where only lowintensity uses are permitted. But the agency imposes few permit requirements in settled Adirondack “hamlets,” where no minimum lot size is required. Hamlet boundaries are also broadly drawn to allow for future expansion. In addition, the APA says nothing about lot size in industrial areas of the park. Property-right activists may view the park agency with suspicion, but they can be downright hostile toward environmental lobbyists pushing for stricter enforcement or a tightening of land-use regs.

Entergy Gambles $35 Million to Refuel Vermont Yankee

Burlington

Entergy’s board of directors has voted to refuel Vermont Yankee in October, essentially betting $35 million that the Vernon nuclear power plant will remain open beyond March 2012. VY received a 20-year license extension from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission earlier this year, but the state of Vermont has refused to grant Entergy permission to operate beyond next year — a dispute that’s now the subject of an Entergy-instigated federal lawsuit. Entergy had argued that uncertainty about its 2012 status put refueling plans at risk and could force the plant to shut down. Judge J. Garvan Murtha rejected that logic when he recently denied the company’s request for an injunction. He said Entergy’s decision to refuel amounted to a calculated business risk. In a statement, Entergy’s chairman and CEO J. Wayne Leonard wrote: “Our board believes both the merits of the company’s legal position and the record strongly support its decision to continue to trial scheduled to begin on September 12. On that basis, the decision was made to move forward with the refueling as planned.” During a typical 30-day refueling outage, around 120 fuel assemblies, or onethird of the reactor core, are replaced with new fuel assemblies. Workers use the outage to perform NRC-required inspections and other tests that cannot be performed while the reactor is operating. Up to 1000 additional skilled laborers are called in to perform the work. The October refueling will allow the nuke plant to keep running until at least March 2013. S H AY TO T TE N

After months of saying next to nothing, state prosecutors have finally filed their official response to claims that the breath-testing instruments Vermont uses to convict drunk drivers are unreliable. In a 15-page motion, state prosecutors argue that the DataMaster DMT, the infrared breath tester used in Vermont since 2008, is dependable technology that has been approved for evidentiary use by everyone who has scrutinized it — the courts, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, even the state chemists whose complaints about the instruments exposed the problems in the first place. While acknowledging missteps that led to dozens of DUI cases being dismissed or bargained down to lesser charges, the state argues that the machines themselves are dependable. But criminal defense attorney David Sleigh, who is challenging the DataMaster on behalf of a client facing his fifth DUI, says the state health commissioner never approved the DataMaster DMT, as required by state regulations. Only the BAC DataMaster, the predecessor to the DMT, was approved, Sleigh says, arguing that evidence collected on the newer breath testers should be off limits. Deputy State’s Attorney Stuart Schurr rejects that argument, noting that two health commissioners approved “the DataMaster using infrared technology” — in 2006 and again in 2010. In the court filing, Schurr argues that the old DataMaster and newer version are so similar in engineering and design as to make reapproval unnecessary. In response, Sleigh points out that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration apparently saw a difference when it required the DataMaster’s Ohio-based manufacturer to submit the DMT for testing before placing it on the list of approved devices for evidentiary breath testing. “You can’t approve a brand,” Sleigh says. “You have to approve a device, and there’s no evidence that the commissioner ever approved the DMT.” A ruling is expected in the next few weeks.

Unmanned Military Drones to Start Training Flights Over the Adirondacks B y K En Pi CA R d

drones when they’re launched in August, largely because they fly at 30,000 to 50,000 feet with turboprop engines. “The average hiker, paddler, kayaker, backpacker is not ever going to be aware that they’re there,” he says. “They fly very high, and they’re very quiet.” The drone’s stealth is exactly what concerns Melanie Trimble, director of the capital region chapter of the New York Civil Liberties Union in Albany. Her organization has voiced objections to the flights, in part because it’s unclear what the drones are doing and what kind of safeguards will be in place to protect the privacy of the people below. Trimble acknowledges that military planes have trained over the park for years. But she asserts these flights are fundamentally different in nature. “Most of the other military aircraft aren’t taking pictures and recording what

they’re seeing,” she says. “But drones work that way. That’s why they’re there. It’s different from maneuvers or flybys to train pilots.” One concern, she says, is that the military could be photographing or videotaping civilians at their homes. Thus far, it’s unclear what those photos and videos will be used for, how long they will be stored, and whether they’ll be shared with other intelligence or civilian agencies, such as state and local police. If so, they could constitute warrantless searches. For this reason, she says, the NYCLU plans to file freedom-of-information requests with various military agencies in New York State to get more conclusive answers. As Trimble puts it, “If you’re going to spy on us, we’d at least like to know why and where and what you’re doing with all that information.” m

military aircraft soaring over the park as its natural flyers — and for good reason. For 22 years, Woodworth has served on New York’s Governor’s Task Force on Military Overflights. The special advisory council was created in 1989 by then-Gov. Mario Cuomo to address public concerns about B-52s and other noisy jets that were flying at low altitudes over the park. Wildlife biologists at the time feared the massive bombers were scaring away endangered bald eagles and peregrine falcons. “Believe me, when you were on the ground and a B-52, with eight big General Electric turbojets, came over at 500 feet, it shook the ground,” Woodworth says. The B-52s were probably the loudest and most disruptive of planes swooping low over the park. Woodworth points out that many other jets, including F-16s from the Vermont Air National Guard, and A-10s from the Massachusetts Air National Guard, have also made use of the Adirondacks for training purposes. The number of flights is declining, though, according to Woodworth. Training over the Adirondack Mountains was most popular during the Cold War, he explains, when the U.S. military’s primary focus was on Europe, not the Middle East. The Adirondacks look a bit like southern Germany, where military planners imagined the possible advance of Soviet tanks. Today, he says, it’s preferable to send air squadrons to the American Southwest, where conditions are more akin to what pilots experience in Iraq and Afghanistan. In short, Woodworth says he doesn’t believe the public will even notice the

easoned bird watchers can add one more winged creature to the 200-plus native species that routinely soar over the Adirondack Mountains: the MQ-9 Reaper drone. Earlier this year, the New York Air National Guard announced it would use the airspace over the 6-million-acre park to conduct surveillance training missions. The unmanned Reapers, which are assigned to the Air Guard’s 174th Fighter Wing, will be piloted remotely by crews based at Watertown’s Fort Drum and Hancock Field in Syracuse. The drones are not expected to carry any weapons, according to published reports. Thus far, public reaction to the training flights has been mixed. Sen. Charles Shumer (D-NY) supports the drone flights and has also come out in favor of expanding their use in upstate New York. The Adirondack Mountain Club essentially shrugged off the news, saying the drones will not compromise the region’s tranquility as much as previous military flight training programs have. But antiwar groups and civil libertarians are voicing their opposition. Notably, the New York Civil Liberties Union points out that the high-altitude surveillance planes, also known as “the big eye in the sky,” will eventually be deployed to Afghanistan for spying missions and bombing raids. That means their training missions across the lake could violate privacy and due-process rights of Adirondack residents and visitors.

Surprisingly, though, Monroe is lukewarm in his support of the Adirondack Club and Resort. Due to potential environmental and infrastructure impacts, “it’s not an ideal way to improve Tupper Lake’s economy,” he remarks, “but it’s the only way they’ve got.” Nor does Monroe view the APA as an inveterate enemy, saying it has softened its stance over the past 25 years.

segments of “forever wild” land in the Adirondacks provide secure migratory routes for wildlife such as moose, which returned to the park in the 1990s after hunting and habitat changes forced them out of the park 100 years earlier. The absence of roads in many parts of the forest preserve also protects it against invasive species, Carr notes. The park’s environment is “healthy and getting healthier,” Sheehan declares. He cites gains in controlling emissions from smokestacks as far away as China that produce acid rain, a destroyer of life in many Adirondack lakes. And with the lessening of acid rain will come a gradual rollback of the mercury pollution that Carr calls “one of the most disheartening things I’ve witnessed” in his 20 years at the Adirondack Nature Conservancy. Just a couple of weeks ago, he saw a fly fisherman hook “a beautiful trout that was clearly sick because of mercury.” After tourism, which is the region’s single-biggest industry, public-sector employment is the major source of income in the Adirondacks. The timber and mining sectors remain important, too, despite the loss of thousands of jobs since the mid-20th century due to mechanization.

balance economic considerations to the extent that it should. Also in the category of blurred battle lines: Little, a green nemesis, finds that Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo “is doing a great job.” Meanwhile, Sheehan notes “the golden age of conservation” in the Adirondacks coincided with the reign of Republican George Pataki, who served three terms as governor beginning in 1995. He notes Pataki exceeded Republican Gov. Nelson Rockefeller in “his quest to complete acquisitions for the park’s forest preserve.” Contrary to the charge that it’s beholden to “extreme environmental zealots,” the Adirondack Council did not try to block construction of a 430-acre “ski village” alongside Gore Mountain. This project, envisioned to include hotels and town houses, is near an existing hamlet and may therefore provide direct economic benefits to current residents, Sheehan says. Further confounding outsiders’ assumptions about the region’s politics, the Adirondack Nature Conservancy promotes timber harvesting on many of the tens of thousands of park acres that it owns. Executive director Mike Carr says it takes no position on the Adirondack Club and Resort proposal; it’s not an advocacy organization. A key aim of the conservancy, he explains, is to protect the environment in a way that benefits the region’s economy.

oviegoers who have seen the early-summer trailer for DreamWorks’ Cowboys & Aliens, in theaters this Friday, might be forgiven for wondering, WTF? The film appears to start like a traditional Western, with Harrison Ford as a crusty sheriff and Daniel Craig as a mysterious loner. Then the aliens invade. By the time the title flashes on the screen, ending the preview, audiences are often giggling in excitement, disbelief or both. So, is Cowboys & Aliens the new Men in Black? No, said HAWK OSTBY of South Burlington, who cowrote the film’s screenplay based on a graphic novel created by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg.

“You’re very close to camp with a title like this,” acknowledged Ostby, 44, speaking on the phone from San Diego, where he’d flown to attend Saturday’s premiere at Comic-Con. One of the first priorities for the film’s writers, he said, was “setting the tone. We’re not making a spoof here; this is a serious movie. Don’t come expecting a comedy.” Also, don’t come expecting to wear 3-D glasses just because C&A is based on a comic book. Ostby said director Jon Favreau “was pretty specific about doing it in 2-D.” Ostby and his L.A.-based writing partner, Mark Fergus, also coscripted Favreau’s earlier comic-book hit, Iron Man. Before that, the duo went to the

Through magic, Prospero brings Ferdinand and Miranda together and then steps aside as they cast their own romantic spells over each other. While The Tempest lists occasionally with uneven performances, Blachly’s cast is strong where it most needs to be. As Prospero, Rossano steers the play confidently with a keen ear for Shakespearean verse, a commanding stage presence and a notable range. He is equally convincing as protective father, exacting slave master and vengeful royal. Perhaps even more important, he is an engaging and reliable soliloquist — a critical role in The Tempest, as in many of Shakespeare’s plays, where it falls to the hero to put the play’s events into the broader context of life’s rich pageant.

localmatters Greens and Developers « p.17 remain in or relocate to the Adirondacks. Parts of the park are losing population “at an alarming rate,” State Sen. Little notes. Hamilton County, which lies entirely inside the park, had 10 percent fewer residents in 2010 than in 2000, according to U.S. census data. Morehouse, about 75 miles northwest of Saratoga Springs, recorded a population decrease of 43 percent over the past decade. But there are plenty of people — and money — in resort towns such as Lake Placid and Saranac Lake, Sheehan points out. Some less conspicuous locales have also become enclaves of wealth where full-time residents of the New York City area have built pricey getaways. Those second homes “were once seen as saviors of the Adirondacks,” APA chairman Stiles recalls. Now, he adds, they’re considered “a challenge” because of the inflationary impact they have on local property values. All that makes it difficult for persons of modest means to buy a home in the park. Cuomo has worked to encourage development of moderately priced homes by signing a law that increases housing

density in parts of the park. The governor wins applause from almost all quarters for that initiative, even as environmentalists and developers alike anxiously await further moves by Cuomo that will shape the park’s future. The governor will soon offer nominees for five of the 11 seats on the APA board, including the chair. All of them will likely be ruling on the Adirondack Club and Resort proposal, which has generated 30,000 documents since the project was launched seven years ago. A decision is expected in 2012. No matter how green-minded Cuomo proves to be, though, the Adirondacks will probably never match Vermont’s image as an American Eden. Eco-consciousness and marketing are generally more advanced in Vermont than in the Adirondacks, Sheehan concedes. He cautions, however, that both places have their “blind spots.” In the ’Dacks, he says, “we tend to fall in love with big developers who promise to transform a community economically.” Vermont’s myopia? Sheehan offers, “You’ve got something of a soft spot for dairy farms despite their environmental effects.” m

Feedback « p.7 Rodeo Abuses AnimAls

I was disappointed to see the Pond Hill Pro Rodeo glorified by “Stuck in Vermont” as an honored family tradition [July 6]. Animals used in rodeos are subjected to abusive conditions in order to guarantee they’ll perform as expected by the paying public. Without the use of spurs, tail-twisting, and bucking straps cinched around their abdomens and groins, these frightened and often docile animals typically wouldn’t even buck. The rodeo experience for animals consists of electric prods, twisted necks and being violently slammed onto the ground. “Retirement” is a one-way trip to the slaughterhouse. Even when animals aren’t injured — and they often are — they still suffer from fear and pain during rodeo events. Often, the animals’ injuries are internal. In 1979, a veterinarian who worked for 30 years as a meat inspector in slaughterhouses did an interview with the Humane Society of the United States. C.G. Haber said he saw scores of animals that had been discarded from rodeos and sent to slaughter. Tough as he was when it came to animal suffering, he was sickened by the condition of the rodeo animals. He said that he

had seen animals “with 6-8 ribs broken from the spine, and at times puncturing the lungs” and “as much as 2-3 gallons of free blood accumulated under the detached skin.” What may be “Christmas” for the “cowboys” and their audience is nothing short of cruelty for the animals. lori Kettler

sAlt isn’t the solution

I was disappointed to see the phrase “undersalted” in [“Eat, Cruise, Clap,” July 13]. Insufficient salt is an easily cured condition; the reviewer gave an interesting method as an example. But, for many of us, correctly salted for you makes food inedible for us, and there is no way for us to reduce the saltiness. Some of the reasons are taste; some of them are medical — the recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommended reduced sodium intake. Either way, if one’s food is not sufficiently salted, that is correctable. If it is oversalted, that is not correctable except by abstaining. Your reviewer could do us all a service by endorsing mildly salted food and reviewing effective ways to increase saltiness for those who wish to and are allowed to. Richard suitor Winooski

Celebrating Its First Anniversary

Tempestuous « P.19 acting may lack the nuance of some of their elders’ work, their youthful vitality helps feed the play’s voracious appetite for whimsy. The pairing of wreck survivors Stephano (CLARKE JORDAN) and Trinculo (DAVID KLEIN) hits and misses. As they meet up with Caliban and drink their way through the ship’s salvaged booze stores, they hit the play’s broadest comedic notes — sometimes squarely, sometimes not so. Surely, playing drunk on stage doesn’t call for subtlety — and Klein’s character is a jester, after all. Still, the intensity of hamming it up in these scenes seems out of sync with the rest of the play. That this production doesn’t sail smoothly through every scene may owe something to the wide-ranging ages and experience levels of its cast members. That every player is so fully on board, however, must owe something to Blachly’s directorial skill. In his program notes, he recounts the “welcome refuge

Lara Croft series, which is “very exciting,” Ostby said. So, no more comic books? “When you have some success in one thing, you tend to get pigeonholed into it,” Ostby said with a chuckle. Since he grew up in Norway, American comics weren’t part of his childhood. But he was revved by his Comic-Con experience last weekend, saying, “It’s quite wild. It’s pretty spectacular.” Fergus and Ostby first teamed up in New York about 15 years ago, but they’ve “never worked in the same room,” said Ostby. Though he chats every day with Fergus, Ostby does most of his writing from his home in Vermont, where he lives with his wife, MONICA, president of group-gifting service INLU.COM, and their kids. “I’m more efficient at home,” he said. “I love to have my routine. It’s nice to look out the window and see trees.” In addition to their work on big Hollywood projects, Fergus and Ostby have “two originals we’re hoping to get going,” said Ostby. One he described as a “mashup between a heist film and a prison movie,” the other as “Deliverance meets Southern Comfort.”

At a meeting last spring of the organized by local filmmaker JODA HODGE, Ostby talked candidly about the initial process of pitching First Snow in 1999. Some major Hollywood players loved the script ... until they found out it ended on a downer that couldn’t be rewritten. “We weren’t ready,” Ostby said. Instead of basing their career on one breakthrough deal, he and Fergus slowly worked their way up. Original projects, Ostby noted from San Diego, are a hard sell in today’s Hollywood. “As movies get bigger and more expensive, you try to minimize the risk,” he said, “and part of that is picking brands that are already in the public consciousness” — such as Cowboys & Aliens. Still, there’s definitely something original about a sci-fi Western. While Cowboys & Aliens may not be based on a director’s vision, like Inception — a trend-bucking example from last year — Ostby hopes it will give this summer of familiar-looking blockbusters a kick. “You hear so many people grumbling that there’s nothing new,” he said. “Well, here’s something that’s new and fresh.” STOWE FILM SOCIETY,

the Straight dope bY CeCiL adams

Dear cecil, Just how safe is it to shelter in your basement during a tornado? When I was growing up in the midwest, I was given the impression that the basement was a pretty safe place to be if a tornado hit your house. But surely there must be cases of people being crushed by debris or sucked out and thrown into the air while they are hiding in their basement. When we read about fatalities from a tornado, how many of these people were sheltering in their basements, thinking they were safe? mark Pietrzyk ome people — perhaps a dwindling number — don’t think the recent wild weather has anything to do with climate change. Maybe it doesn’t. Just the same, I’d pay attention to the following. Might be some news you could use. So far this year we’ve had at least 537 tornado fatalities in the U.S., a huge increase over the 45 deaths in 2010, and the most since 1936. The reason for this alarming leap undoubtedly is the large number of tornadoes this season, although there has also been a noticeable increase in the percentage of especially destructive tornadoes. To start with the obvious, one

place you don’t want to wait out a tornado is in a mobile home. This year, trailers have accounted for nearly one in four fatalities, and a 10-year review of 18,717 tornado deaths found that 44 percent happened in mobile homes. The safest place to be is in a reinforced concrete building, but if that’s not an option, a basement really is your best bet. An analysis of the Oklahoma tornado outbreak of May 1999, which featured an EF5 (i.e., scale-topping monster) twister, found that out of 40 deaths, 133 severe injuries and 265 minor injuries, the total

harm inflicted on people holed up in basements amounted to just one minor injury. In the Joplin, Mo., area — where the death toll stands at a staggering 155 following the tornado of May 22 — 82 percent of homes had no basements. What’s the safest corner of the basement? A common belief is that since most tornadoes in the U.S. travel from west-southwest to east-northeast, the southwest side of the basement is the safest place to hide out. The originator of this advice may be John Park Finley, one of the first serious meteorological researchers, who studied hundreds of tornadoes in a career spanning the late 19th and early

20th centuries. Finley said you should never take refuge in the east side of a basement, and specifically warned against the northeast corner — he reasoned that debris from the house would be blown in that direction. Unfortunately, he was wrong, especially where brick or stone houses are concerned. In 1966 Joe Eagleman of the University of Kansas studied the wreckage of the EF5 Topeka tornado of that year and concluded that if you had a full basement, the northeast corner was the safest place to be and the south side the most dangerous. Why? External debris knocked down southern walls and blew in through south-facing basement windows; when winds shifted the whole house to the northeast, the southwest corner of the basement was where the upper stories fell in. Can basements be dangerous regardless? Absolutely. In April, an Iowa couple took cover in an all-concrete “tornado room” they’d built in their basement only to have the wind rip away the 8-inch-thick slab that served as its ceiling. Their pickup truck was then flung into the basement, flattening their pool table but leaving the remains of the

bunker (and them) unharmed. No basement? Running for it won’t do you much good, but driving for it might. A study of the May 1999 Oklahoma City tornado concluded that those who fled in vehicles were much less likely to be injured than those who stayed put. No vehicle, either? A review of the “core remnants” of houses hit by EF3 tornadoes found the safest places were an interior bathroom or closet. Another study of that Oklahoma City tornado found that, safety-wise, interior hallways were a distant second to basements. Looking ahead, a backyard storm cellar like Auntie Em’s is starting to sound like a good investment. If you’d like your house to survive, too, you can take some relatively simple precautions. Homes typically come apart in high winds because the roof gets blown off and the exterior walls collapse inward. Using hurricane straps to sLug steel signorino anchor your roof to the house is cheap and easy, and other steel reinforcements can be used to strengthen the walls. Flimsy garage doors are another common source of house failure — the wind blows them in, then blasts through the house and rips the walls and ceiling apart. A 1982 review found that in 104 cases of home roof damage after a tornado in Grand Island, Neb., nearly 50 percent started via the garage. Steel or reinforced garage doors are the solution. Give it some thought. Times are changing. One wants to be prepared.

So that was all peachy keen, but it turned out his operation was kinda sketchy. I was always having to run after him to get paid, and then half the time the checks would bounce.

Sometimes the biggest things in life just kinda happen. So, you’re trying to make a life together with the woman?” “I am. I’ve already screwed up one marriage, and I don’t want to repeat that.

This is an intense, physically demanding job I’ve taken on as my life’s work. At times like this, the cliché is a truth that bites at me: I ain’t getting any younger. It was four in the morning when I pulled into the Riverside Avenue Cumby’s to gas up. As I got out and began the pump procedure, a sandyhaired man wandered up to me. He was perhaps 40 and garbed in backwoods attire: clunky work boots, worn jeans and a flannel shirt. His demeanor was unthreatening, though he clearly wanted something from me. “Hey, are you still working?” he asked. “Could you take me out to Essex Junction?” I didn’t hesitate. Like an opera, my workday is not over ’til the fat lady sings, and this guy had just hooked her off the stage. “Sure,” I replied. “Just let me gas up, and I’ll take ya.” “Wait — before you get the gas. I got 12 bucks on this prepaid debit card. A Benways cab was just here, and the dispatcher couldn’t run the card. But I’m pretty sure I can use it at this station to buy your gas. Would that work for ya — if I gotcha $12 in gas?” The whole thing sounded convoluted, but it would take only a moment to test his offer. I said, “Yeah, go in there, and let’s see what happens.” He walked into the store and, in less than a minute, the pump display screen registered, “Begin pumping.” I did, and it cut off automatically at $12. I swiped my own card to complete the fill-up. “Oh, what a friggin’ day,” my nowcustomer volunteered as he took the shotgun seat and we got rolling. “I just came back to Vermont for my cousin’s funeral, and then this morning my aunt died.” “I guess that’s a rough day,” I commiserated. “Where’d all this happen? Here in Burlington?” “Nope, the whole family’s up in Irasburg. I got a ride in earlier today, and I’ve been hitting the bars. I got a niece who lives in Essex Junction, and she’s letting me crash at her place tonight. I called her to try to get a ride, but she was sleeping and had to get up for work at seven. I shouldn’a even called her. I don’t know what the hell I was thinking.”

isitors to the Adirondacks can’t help but spot New York’s second-largest land mammal, the black bear, around virtually every turn. Admittedly, most of those bear sightings occur in gift shops and antique stores. The fuzzy or woodcarved likenesses are often portrayed paddling canoes, swinging tennis racquets or squatting on their haunches with a fishing pole in hand. A small percentage of Adirondack Park visitors are lucky — or unlucky — enough to see a real bear in the wild. The region is home to New York’s largest bear population, an estimated 5000 black bears, with adult females ranging in size from 150 to 250 pounds, and adult males from 200 to 600 pounds. Confrontations between bears and humans are likely to be of the unwanted variety, especially in the backcountry, when hikers and campers fail to secure their food and other odorous items (toothpaste, soap, insect repellent) out of the animals’ reach. Gone are the days when backpackers could simply find a tall tree limb from which to hang a food bag overnight. Black bears are curious, intelligent and highly resourceful, and these denizens of the Adirondacks figured out long ago that tasty morsels can be had in those nylon stuff sacks dangling from ropes. For this reason, New York passed a law in 2005 requiring all overnight campers in the region to use bear-resistant canisters between April 1 and November 30. But even that method hasn’t been foolproof. Since 2007, state wildlife biologists and frequent visitors to the eastern High Peaks have learned of at least one ingenious bear who has figured out how to open the BearVault, a popular and allegedly bear-resistant food canister. The adult female, nicknamed “Yellow-Yellow” for the yellow wildlifetracking tags she wears in each ear, has gained notoriety for her digital prowess. The relatively small (125-pound), shy creature has become so adept at opening BearVaults that, in 2008, the device’s manufacturer redesigned the lid. But Yellow-Yellow soon figured out the new

have made a living off of campers’ food during the summer,” Reed explains. “They have nothing better to do than sit and fiddle with the canister and try to figure it out.” Also, Reed doesn’t believe YellowYellow is the sole culprit in all the break-ins reported by campers. “We do know that those canisters have been broken into at two locations on the same night. So we know there’s more than one bear doing it,” he says. “Yellow-Yellow is one of a number of bears that use that area, but she’s become the symbol of the High Peaks bears.” Is Yellow-Yellow leading an entire gang of rogue bears who fiddle with

each new canister design, as if it were a Rubik’s cube, until they unlock its secret? Maybe she’s even lured her cubs into a life of crime? Improbable, Reed says. Yes, YellowYellow is nearly 20 years old — four years ago, wildlife biologists determined her age by extracting one of her teeth and counting its rings, like a tree stump — and she’s known to have raised several litters. However, Reed points out that most cubs leave their mother before their second winter, either to scope out their own territory or because she chases them off so she can breed again. In short, Yellow-Yellow’s offspring may have seen their mama bear crack open a can or two, but Reed doubts it’s happened often enough for them to learn the trick themselves.

f it seems as though wildlife biologists know a lot about Yellow-Yellow and other Adirondack bears, there’s good reason for that. In 2004, the DEC launched a comprehensive twoyear study of the black bears of the eastern High Peaks, which included outfitting them with radio and GPS collars. The study was designed to help state wildlife managers get more accurate estimates of bears’ numbers, ages, sexes, sizes and home ranges. “That’s one of the things we learned in the High Peaks project that was kind of surprising,” Reed notes, about the size of bears’ territories. “We had bears that would go 40 or 50 miles in a matter of a week to a food source. Somehow they knew the food was there, and the only way they could have known was from experience.” Why do wildlife managers need to know, for example, that one adult male would travel from the High Peaks to Keeseville — about 45 miles as the crow flies — just to snack on a good crop of acorns? One practical reason is to determine the odds of trapping and successfully relocating a “nuisance” bear. “When bears get around humans and are rewarded for it with food, they start to get pretty bold,” Reed explains. “Bears

been grazed out, but before the fall’s berry crops appear. August is also a high-use time for backpackers in the High Peaks and hence the most common juncture for bear-human encounters. How common are bear attacks in New York? Unlike in the western United States and Canada, they’re exceedingly rare. Reed tells of one woman who got scratched by a bear about six years ago when it reached around her lean-to to grab her backpack at the same time she did. Occasionally, sows will “bluff charge” a human when they’re startled, he adds, but full-blown attacks are virtually unheard of. There’s only one record of a person being killed by a black bear in New York — a baby in the Catskills, who was mauled more than a decade ago. Nevertheless, bear-human encounters are bound to become more common, especially as New York’s black bear population and habitat grow. In fact, this year the DEC is opening up new regions to bear hunting along the New York’s border with Vermont and

occasionally break into houses and come right through the door.” Under DEC protocol, a home invasion is considered a “class 1” offense for a bear, meaning that if it’s caught, it must be destroyed. Lesser offenses, such as occasional raids on trash cans or campground Dumpsters, are more likely to result in a bear earning a one-way trip out of town. However, Reed admits the DEC has had poor luck in relocating bears; one traveled 70 miles to return to its point of origin. The most effective bear relocations tend to involve young males, before they’ve become established in a territory. One- and 2-year-olds haven’t been to enough places to know where they are, Reed says, whereas older, more worldly bears are more likely to find their way home. Right now, Reed and other DEC biggame managers are entering their busy season. August is the most active month for Adirondack bear sightings, when many descend from higher elevations where the greens have all dried up or

The Lake to Locks Passage extends from Rouses Point to a spot near Albany where the Hudson and Mohawk rivers converge. It ranks as New York’s only federally designated “All-American

Most storefronts sit vacant; there are no pedestrians in sight at 4 p.m. A subsequent Internet search reveals that almost 20 percent of Port Henry’s 1150 residents subsist below the poverty line. The last segment of the route juts east and north onto the lake’s Crown Point peninsula, where a free ferry will float a tired cyclist back to Vermont. It’s a dramatic finale, with the sun starting to sink behind the new Champlain Bridge scheduled to be completed in mid-October.

At the Meadowmount School of Music, concertgoers see the classical stars of tomorrow BY L AUR E N O BE R COURTESY OF MEADOWMOUNT SCHOOL OF MUSIC

t’s not often you can see world-class classical musicians play for the price of a burrito in Burlington. Typically, tickets to hear a touring soloist cost three or four burritos, or more if the musician is a superstar such as Hilary Hahn, Lang Lang or Hahn-Bin. But at the Meadowmount School of Music in Westport, N.Y., $7 buys you a front-row seat to watch the world’s up-and-coming young classical stars in action. The campers, who range from precocious 10-year-olds to seasoned college students, may not have scored major recording contracts or headlined their own shows yet, but they will. If you catch them at Meadowmount, you can say you saw them before they hit it big. That was my plan as I crossed Lake Champlain on the Essex-Charlotte ferry on a recent Wednesday, en route to watch one of the school’s 18 summer concerts. Meadowmount, founded in 1944 by Judith and Ivan Galamian, is a summer camp for the extremely talented. Classical string players and pianists from around the world descend on this Adirondack enclave every summer for intensive instruction, master classes with distinguished alums and chamber music training to prepare them for life as professional musicians. Each summer, the school’s top students are selected to give thrice-weekly public concerts in July and August. What may look like a standard Adirondack summer camp, with its wood-paneled cabins and giddy, braces-faced teenagers, is actually a proving ground for the next Yo-Yo Ma or Joshua Bell. From the ferry dock, I drove the 14 miles to Meadowmount along winding roads, past overgrown farms, and through stands of pine and spruce. I arrived on the sprawling campus of white and forest-green buildings running alongside County Route 10, just minutes before the 7:30 p.m. show. In the parking lot, I found cars with license plates from as far away as Illinois, Louisiana and Minnesota, most likely belonging to summer residents of the Adirondack Park who’d come for a

All Meadowmounters are officially required to comport themselves appropriately, not just in their attire but also their behavior. I didn’t see one glowing cellphone while I was there, nor did I witness obnoxious gum snapping or even bored slouching. I found a chair in the 500-seat Ed

Lee and Jean Campe Memorial Concert Hall and settled in for an evening of spirited performances. Over the years, the venue has played host to many of the great contemporary classical musicians, including Ma and Bell, Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman, Kyung-Wha Chung and Jaime Laredo, music director of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra. All are Meadowmount alumni.

Attendance at the concerts is mandatory for the young musicians, and seated behind me were three female students, gabbing about the program. “Oh, man. It looks like it’s gonna be a long show,” one girl huffed. “Yeah, but I love that Ravel piece,” her friend replied, referring to “Pièce en forme de Habanera” by Maurice Ravel, which would be performed by cellist Genevieve Tabby. Teachers had selected the pieces their students would play. Without introduction, the lights dimmed; when they came back up, the evening’s first performer, 16-year-old cellist Emily Camras of Illinois, was ushered into the spotlight by her classmates’ whoops and cheers. Camras, dressed in an emerald-green strapless gown and ballet flats, tucked right in to Sonata for Solo Cello, op. 25, no. 3, by mid-20th-century composer Paul Hindemith. The auditorium was so quiet, I could hear Camras inhale as she played. The Hindemith piece was technically demanding and intense, and Camras’ pinched face reflected its difficulty. When she finished the five-movement piece, the crowd — primarily students — leaped to its collective feet and gave her a rousing round of applause and a few shouts — an uncommon sound at classical-music venues. Admirers rewarded Camras with bouquets of flowers, homemade cookies and bags of M&M’s, no doubt sent by parents in care packages. Next up was Tabby, an undergraduate student at the Cleveland Institute of Music, who has been playing the cello since she was 9. In addition to the short Ravel piece, Tabby tackled Beethoven’s Variations on a Theme From “The Magic Flute,” WoO 46, and Niccolò Paganini’s Variations on One String on a Theme by Rossini. Tomoko Kashiwagi accompanied her on the piano. Wearing a red halter dress and heels, Tabby played with her eyes closed as she swayed to the music. Her touch on the airy Beethoven piece was so light, she hardly seemed to be bowing at all. Her fingers danced up and down the cello’s neck with no apparent effort. The Paganini piece, a jaunty work full of firework flourishes, required a heavier hand. Tabby delivered, and her fellow campers responded again with a standing ovation

at Meadowmount, they must audition every year for a turn in the spotlight, says Eric Larsen, the school’s director.

With full room and board, Meadowmount’s program costs $6000 for seven weeks. For students and their parents, that is the cost of success. Competition is “fierce” in the professional music world, says Larsen, and Meadowmount exists to give students an advantage. “We are known as a ‘practice camp,’ and our students come with the intention of practicing,” he writes in an email. “They know, or will soon find out, that it is this intense practice and discipline that will give them the edge in school or orchestra auditions, competitions and, for the older students, job interviews.” My evening at Meadowmount finished with the somber Piano Trio no. 2 in E Minor, op. 67, by Dmitri Shostakovich, performed by Canadian violin virtuoso Shannon Lee and top Korean cellist Minji Choi, accompanied by pianist Yoana Kyurkchieva. The pair, true strings technicians, were less expressive but every bit as precise as their fellow campers. Choi’s playing was aggressive and suspenseful; during one of the movements, she plucked at the cello’s strings as if playing a guitar. Lee’s work was liquid and elegant, despite the sometimes atonal arrangement. Cheers and hollers followed their performance. The concertgoers filed out of the hall, and everyone returned to the quiet of the starlit Adirondack night.

and a bouquet of flowers. I quickly came to realize that everyone gets a standing O at Meadowmount. While that may not be great training for the real world, it certainly illustrates the camaraderie of the place. For a group of elite students bound to compete with one another at some point for top spots at conservatories such as Juilliard or in renowned symphonies, these kids seemed pretty chummy. Though I’d switched off my cellphone, I spent the concert unable to shake the racking fear that it would ring and ruin a performance. My anxiety stemmed from the observation that everyone in the concert hall — students, faculty, parents, community members — sat motionless, rapt by the playing. Even a sneeze, two of which I had to stifle, would have seemed uncivilized. It was easy to forget we were watching (mostly) children at a recital, such was the performers’ level of talent. Chelsea Smith, a towering Juilliard student in a cherry-red, Empire-waist frock, performed the last piece before intermission. She seemed confident and self-assured — no surprise, given her bio in the evening’s program, which quoted a review calling one of her previous performances “elegant and poetic, with enchanting moods and engaging colors.” Smith dug into Jean Sibelius’ Violin Concerto in D Minor, op. 47, with gusto, accompanied by Claire Mallory on piano. During the piano interludes, the violinist stretched her fingers and rocked gently to the music. The threepart piece seemed physically exhausting; Smith’s bowing arm never ceased seesawing over the strings. At the end, she let out a sigh and clasped her chest. Again, the crowd rose to its feet. Fans pushed presents — which, curiously, included a piece of toast — into the soloist’s arms. Getting a spot on the summer performance roster isn’t easy. Students — who have to audition to enter Meadowmount itself — must try out for the privilege. This year, roughly 45 were selected to give performances during the school’s 18 public concerts. Regardless of how many summers students have spent

One woman’s quest to find the last phone booths in the Adirondack Park B Y L AUREN OBER

also moved by nostalgia — hence her attachment to the phone booth. It was while living in England, pursuing a master’s degree in the history of design, that Haas first became smitten with the iconic red phone boxes that dotted country corners and city sidewalks. When she found one still intact (many have been relieved of their phones), she used it to call home, rather than the more current payphones papered with advertisements for buxom female escorts. “If you’re going to make a phone call in a phone booth, you’re going to make a phone call in a red British phone booth. You’re not going to go to the new 1997 British Telecom phone booths,” Haas says. “And it rains a lot there, so you need some cover.” She so appreciated the red phone boxes for their unique design that, every time she saw one on her travels, she took a picture. Typically those photos also included her old Raleigh bike, Rusty, on which she toured the country. When Haas, who is now an archivist at the 1932 & 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympic Museum, moved to Jay a few years ago with her husband, Drew, she noticed the town had a phone booth right on the village green. “I was very excited because the phone booth in Jay was an older style, so it had character to it and it had a phone in it,” she says. Armed with 50 cents, Haas walked down to the phone booth to try a call, only to discover that it was out of order. She wrote about the experience on her blog, then followed up the post by seeking out other local phone booths to see if any worked. When she happened on a phone booth in Keene Valley, next to some vending machines in the parking lot of the Valley Grocery, she tested it out. Like the Jay phone booth, it was broken. Haas became determined to find a functional phone booth. People who read her blog gave her leads, which she followed, mostly to no avail. Once she became convinced she had seen a phone booth at the High Peaks Information Center on the LAUREN OBER

lison Haas is a collector of obsessions. Road signs, antiques, bear poop and yard gargoyles (but only those dressed in festive costumes) are just a few of the things that fascinate her. For the past three years, she’s been cataloguing all of these curiosities on her blog. Its name, Along the Ausable, refers to the 94-mile Ausable River, which flows through the Adirondack towns of Upper Jay, Jay (where Haas lives), Lake Placid, Keene, Keene Valley, Wilmington and Ausable Forks on its way to Lake Champlain. One of Haas’ fixations is phone booths, or rather lack thereof, in the Adirondack Park. Not just payphones, but booths that grant some privacy to the person making the call — the kind that shielded Clark Kent as he transformed himself into a tights-clad superhero. Not surprisingly, the Adirondack region, like most of the country, is steadily losing such facilities. Frontier Communications, a Rochester, N.Y.-based company, owns 240 of the remaining payphones in the park and is its largest terrestrial phone-service provider. Of those payphones, a “very limited number” are enclosed phone booths, according to a company spokesperson. As cellphones become ubiquitous (and people lose their ability to retain phone numbers), payphones rarely see any use, even in rural areas with poor cell coverage like the Adirondacks. Often payphones bring in less money than it costs to service them, giving telecommunications companies little motivation to maintain them. As a result, payphones are becoming a rare sight across the landscape. Phone booths, which have played supporting roles in ridiculous movies, college pranks and countless relationship dramas, are even more uncommon. For example, in New York City, of the 13,659 active payphones, only four are housed in booths, according to a 2009 Huffington Post article. In the Adirondacks, where cell service is spotty at best, payphones are still necessary to hikers coming off the trails, motorists who break down or people who simply don’t have access to cellular technology.

The park is slowly becoming more wired with the gradual installation of more cell towers — disparagingly referred to by locals as “Frankenpines” for their flimsy camouflage as evergreen trees. But there’s still a long way to go before cell reception blankets the park. Meanwhile, the egalitarian payphone has become a victim of the

park’s march to modernity, and Haas, for one, isn’t willing to let it go without some kind of memorial. Haas, 33, is covered in freckles and wears a broad, permanent smile. To say she’s quirky would be an understatement. On the day we meet, she’s wearing a purple velour tracksuit — she’s catching a flight to Lake Tahoe to visit a friend later in the day and thought it would be funny to show up wearing something gaudy and “old-ladyish.” Haas is one of those people who loves oddities and visual non sequiturs.

Adirondack Loj Road. But when she got there, she found nothing. Not long after that, Haas says, she discovered a “half phone booth” — the kind that comes equipped with a sort of dome. She asked the woman who was using the phone if she could photograph her for her blog. The woman, whom Haas remembers as “distraught,” said no. “She was not entertained by that,” Haas recalls. Haas wasn’t bothered by the refusal, since the phone didn’t meet the criteria for a booth. Later, she found one in Ray Brook, between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake, that was the holy grail of phone booths. Built in the Adirondack style, this one had a peaked roof and rustic wooden siding. And it worked. Haas calls it a “gem.” Now, looking for phone booths in the park has become a bona fide obsession. “We’ll be driving, and I’ll be, like, ‘Drew, phone booth!’” she says. Then she’ll try to get a photo, or at least note where she saw it. Haas knows there are still phone booths near Blue Mountain Lake, Gore Mountain and Keeseville, but isn’t sure if any of them work. In November of last year, Haas’ beloved phone booth in Jay vanished. Frontier, which owned the booth, had removed it because it had fallen into disrepair and didn’t generate income, she learned. That set Haas on a mission to find the phone

booth, which she thought belonged in town whether it was usable or not. She felt a connection to the booth, she says. For her, it was a place to stow a jacket when she went running. For others, such as neighbors who remembered the booth’s operational days, it was how they got a ride home after playing at a friend’s house. For still others, the phone booth recalled shenanigans from their teen years, when they used it to make prank calls. Haas called Frontier and asked where the phone booth had gone. The employee she reached told her a coworker had taken it but wouldn’t give her any more information. She called the Jay town supervisor and asked him if she could use a town vehicle to collect the phone booth if she found it. “I said, ‘I’m going to find it if I have to go to New York City to get it.’ Because I was imagining it went where phone booths go, in some basement in Manhattan,” she says. “And he looked at me like I was crazy.” Haas’ amateur sleuthing paid off when she found the Jay phone booth tucked behind a garage that belonged to a Frontier employee. She’s thinking of asking the employee to donate the phone booth to Jay as a part of the town’s history, but she hasn’t yet worked up the nerve. While Haas laments the loss of the phone booth in the Adirondack Park, she has other things to keep her engaged. It’s unlikely that antiques will ever fall victim to evolving technology. And if they do, there are always yard gargoyles. m

pend a little time in Plattsburgh, N.Y., and you’ll get the sense that the city has a bit of an inferiority complex. The blue-collar burg of just under 20,000 residents — closer to 80,000 in the greater P’burgh area — has been mired in an economic rough patch dating at least to 1995, when the Plattsburgh Air Force Base closed. The city’s historic downtown is dotted with empty storefronts, its outskirts dominated by chain restaurants and strip malls. An oasis of culture it is not. But, hey, Phish played there once. And at least there’s a Target. Part of the problem is, well, Burlington, the city’s relatively well-todo neighbor to the east. Mention the Queen City to a young Plattsburgher, and you’re likely to get a reaction somewhere between longing admiration and sullen jealousy. For fans of the television show “The Simpsons,” Plattsburgh would be like Shelbyville to Burlington’s Springfield. D’oh. On a recent steamy Saturday evening, three native Burlingtonians trekked from their bustling hometown to the great unknown — to us, at least — that is Plattsburgh. Our quest: to discover the heart and soul of the city, one bar at a time. Among our delegation were this reporter, photographer Ben Hudson and farmer Rob Rock. What follows is a running diary of that evening, presented as accurately as possible. However, in certain instances, names have been changed to protect the innocent/underage/ intoxicated.

We check into our hotel room on the third floor of the La Quinta Inn & Suites off Route 3. The beds appear to have been hastily made, and one is missing its pillows. We’re not sure if this is a good or bad omen.

7:49 p.m. La Quinta Inn & Suites

Rob opens a bottle of Harpoon IPA while Ben mixes a whiskey and ginger ale. I sip a beer and leaf through a complimentary hotel pamphlet outlining local attractions, activities and services. I find it curious that the pamphlet’s publisher decided to group restaurants, bars and churches in the same section. That can’t be a good omen.

8:16 p.m. La Quinta Inn & Suites

All dolled up and with a pregame beverage in our bellies, we head down to the

front desk to ask the clerk to call a cab. While we’re waiting, we mention we’re in town to do a story on Plattsburgh nightlife and request suggestions for places to go. The clerk’s deadpan response: “There’s nightlife in Plattsburgh?” It’s hard to tell if she’s joking. On our way out the door, she adds, “Whatever you do, don’t go to Rumors.”

Me: So we’re totally going to Rumors, right? Ben: Fuckin’ A. Cabbie: Don’t go to Rumors.

8:29 p.m. The Naked Turtle

Our first stop is this waterfront joint, which I have been told is the Plattsburgh equivalent of Burlington’s Breakwater Café. That’s not true. Cavernous and impossibly kitschy, the Naked Turtle is like Breakwater on steroids. And Bud Light Lime. We head to an outdoor bar on an enormous deck overlooking a marina and order a round of beers. Sun-bleached revelers line the wooden railings clad in tank tops or Hawaiian shirts, Docksiders and swim trunks. Boat people. In a far corner, a guitarist plays acoustic covers

of classic-rock songs. The television is showing a replay of a New York Yankees game from earlier that day. Ben wonders aloud if they might switch the TV over to the Red Sox game currently being played. A middle-aged man two stools over greets his request with a look of disgust. “We’re not in Kansas anymore, Ben,” I say.

9:42 p.m. The Naked Turtle

After a light dinner, we depart, but first we stop to ask the hostess for a bar suggestion.

We’re on our way to a college bar called Peabody’s, wondering why our Burlington-ness is so obvious. “Have you guys seen any hipsters tonight?” Rob asks. Ben and I exchange glances and realize that we have not. Just then, a trio of plump young women wearing midriff-baring tube tops roughly six sizes too small stumble past us. “Shut the fuck up and let’s go get naked, you slut!” screams the middle one, laughing and pawing at her friend’s top. Mildly horrified, Rob stops in his tracks. “I think I miss Burlington.”

10:23 p.m. Peabody’s

11:49 p.m. The Green Room

This is the first truly packed bar we’ve found. It’s also the strangest, in a way. In one room, a cover band is playing on a corner stage. But between songs, the unmistakable, inescapable throb of house music emanates from a dance floor in the adjoining room. “I think this bar has an identity crisis,” says Rob.

11:52 p.m. The Green Room

We order drinks as the band launches into a decent cover of Cee Lo Green’s “Fuck You.” As we walk to the dance floor with our drinks, the bartender calls out to us. “Hey, Dan!” he shouts. “You look taller on TV.”

2:18 a.m. Outside the Green Room

The bars have just let out, and the scene in downtown Plattsburgh would be familiar to anyone who has seen the corner of Church and Main in Burlington on a weekend night after closing time. Shouts echo from all directions. A fight breaks out a block down the street — in front of Rumors, I’m told. Outside the Green Room, two young, vagabond musicians are busking for a mildly interested crowd of drunks, including a dude in a visor who repeatedly requests “Free Bird.” After a couple of songs — none of which are by Lynyrd Skynyrd — I approach and drop some cash in their guitar case. “You know,” I say, “you guys would probably have better luck in Burlington.” “We just came from there,” replies the guitarist. He looks at his friend and adds, “I think we should probably go back. Soon.” “Us, too,” Ben replies, emphatically. “Although we never did make it to Rumors…” m

And we never told her where we’re from.

I went to this bar once a few years ago. It’s a great room and a good concert venue. But tonight the band, a tight little duo called the Mumbles, plays on the floor by the front bar, rather than on the spacious stage in the back room. We play pool with a pleasant couple, Bubba and Mike, and split a two-game series. Between games, I order a round of whiskey shots at the bar. “Singles or doubles, hon?” asks the bartender. I look at her incredulously. “Excuse me?” “The shot. Do you want a double?” Then it dawns on me. They don’t

We mention we’re from Burlington. “Yeah, no shit,” he says. “I could tell that from a mile away.” We laugh nervously and change the subject. We tell him we’ve been warned to avoid Rumors. We ask if we should go anyway. “Sure,” he says, dragging on a cigarette. “If you want to catch something.”

n the late 1800s, Saranac Lake, N.Y., with its robust mountain air and preternatural quiet, became a destination for legions of people afflicted with tuberculosis. Dozens of Victorian “cure cottages” sprang up there, their enclosed porches designed to expose sufferers to the fresh air that was thought to be part of the cure. Patients ate three hearty meals a day, but not necessarily foods we associate with recuperation: copious amounts of raw milk, meat and eggs. Fat, people believed, paved the road to recovery. Whether the air or the food was responsible, thousands of people left Saranac Lake in good health, and its reputation as the place to kick TB persisted until the 1950s. Today, however, the classic convalescent diet of whole milk, game and other meat, and fermented vegetables may seem as quaint as the cottages. The Adirondack culinary cure has fallen victim to modern trends in healthy eating, fed by the belief that fat clogs our arteries and regular consumption of meat inclines us toward all kinds of ailments. But one Adirondack chef is bucking those trends and reviving the tradition. Cathy Hohmeyer’s kitchen lies eight miles outside Saranac Lake on the shores of smaller Lake Clear. Here, at the resort she owns with her husband, Ernest — Lake Clear Lodge & Retreat — she fuses the hearty fare of those cure cottages, the German and Polish dishes she learned from her mother-in-law and the local and foraged foods of the mountains, all with an eye to improving our constitutions. Hohmeyer touts the healing virtues of this “Adirondacks-Alpine fusion” fare, as she calls it, and says it’s her best shot at answering a tricky question: What exactly is Adirondack cuisine? “We’ve taken different traditions and developed our own,” says Hohmeyer, 50, a petite woman with gray-green eyes. The

backbone of her menu is local meat, dairy and produce, supplemented by whole foods that are fermented and sometimes raw. Ernest Hohmeyer points out that his wife’s fare uncannily resembles medieval European cuisine, with its bone broths, lots of cultured and whole-milk dairy, roasts, and absolutely no fear of fat. Together, the Hohmeyers run the lodge — with its historic main building and sprinkling of cottages — on 25 acres beside breezy Lake Clear. Cathy’s relationship with the lodge’s kitchen predates her marriage to Ernest: She first got a job there during high school and cooked alongside Omi Hohmeyer, his mother. A LISTEN IN ON LOCAL FOODIES...

Polish native married to a German, Omi taught her young charge the hearty dishes of the couple’s homelands — schnitzels, rösti and rouladen among them. The elder Hohmeyers had purchased the rundown property in 1965; they settled their family of five in the one-room lobby for the months it took to refurbish the place. One of the first people young Ernest met in school was Cathy; she fell from a slide as they were joking and broke her wrist. The two wouldn’t talk again until years later. First, both left the area; Cathy pursued a career as an occupational therapist in Washington, D.C., while Ernest went off to grad school. They returned around the same time, and when Ernest and his parents decided to sell the lodge, in the early 1990s, Cathy showed up looking to lease the place. “I was going

to learn to run the resort. I didn’t want to see this place disappear,” she says. After she fell in love with and married Ernest, the couple purchased the inn from his parents in 1994. While researching its history, they discovered that the main lodge had actually been built by Cathy’s family, the Otises, as a post office in 1886. “She had no idea,” says Ernest. Today, the main lodge and its restaurant seem caught in an earlier time, with their wood-beam floors, ceilings and walls; chairs made from birch limbs; woven branches along the ceiling; and table runners, beer steins, plates and bowls decorated with pine trees and various Adirondack scenes. A giant moose head surveys the entrance to the dining room. The subtly kitschy ambiance is deceiving, in a way: Behind it lies the Hohmeyers’ ambitious vision of the lodge, which for decades has hosted the usual vacationing families, couples and outdoor enthusiasts, as a wellness oasis. Some of the cottages have hydrotherapy showers, and the Hohmeyers recently built an airy retreat center to entice health-minded groups and conferences, as well as to hold cooking demos. At the heart of their plan is Cathy Hohmeyer’s kitchen, where she quietly plays with a toolbox of ingredients and techniques to render an “Old World ethnic fusion” with tinges of cure-cottage cooking. Dumplings, for instance, may come made with quinoa and local vegetables. A cucumber salad might be dressed with raw apple cider vinegar; a stroganoff filled with grass-fed and natural meats and game; a pudding infused with a few drops of lavender essential oil. “‘Low fat, no fat’ is kind of making us sick,” says Hohmeyer, explaining the theory behind her culinary practice. Hohmeyer’s interest in healthy cooking and whole foods grew over the years as she helmed the lodge’s kitchen, and eventually she connected with the Weston A. Price Foundation, the D.C.based nonprofit devoted to spreading the word about “nutrient-dense” foods such as raw milk, raw vinegars and cultured milk products such as kefir. FAT WITHOUT FEAR

“Let’s Eat! Adirondack Food Traditions.” Chief curator Laura Rice recalls that the recent vogue for all things gustatory helped inspire the museum to produce an exhibit on eating. “We wanted to do something here that would give people an outlet for their foodie inclinations,” Rice explains. “And even if you’re not really into food and cooking, you do eat.” “Let’s Eat!” also showcases the museum’s own collection. Rice continues, “This is an exhibit with very few loans ... maybe five or six objects.” Everything else — from dainty hotel china to hulking castiron stoves — comes from the museum’s staggering archive

Where can you witness top chefs competing in a campfire cook-off and take a workshop on making s’mores? These are just a few of the items on the menu at the ADIRONDACK MUSEUM’s second annual the Adirondacks Are Cookin’ Out event this Thursday. Activities at the daylong festival cater both to foodies and families. Demos, walks, talks and hands-on workshops run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the museum’s grounds in Blue Mountain Lake. Five chefs from the region’s popular restaurants and resorts duke it out for the informal title of “hottest chef in the Adirondacks.” They prepare their choice of dishes, but have to cook ’em the really old-fashioned way: over an open campfire. Competitors include chefs RICHARD BROSSEAU from Lake Placid’s WHITEFACE CLUB & RESORT and JOHN VARGO of the EAT ’N MEET GRILL in Saranac Lake. A prestigious panel of palates will judge the results, including Indian cuisine maestro Suvir Saran, who competed in the most recent season of Bravo’s “Top Chef Masters.” Visitors can watch the cooks sweat onions (and bullets) or choose from a dozen other things to do. Naturalist Edward Kanze leads walking tours of edible plants around the museum grounds. Demos include techniques for smoking and grilling fish and cooking with fresh herbs. Among the can’t-miss kid-friendly workshops: grilling pizza and — mmm — preparing gourmet campfire s’mores. The idea for the celebration grew from a special exhibit that opened last year,

She also drew inspiration from cookbooks such as Sally Fallon’s Nourishing Traditions, which refutes vegetarianism page by page as it advocates for the powers of animal protein. It was probably only a matter of time before Hohmeyer, who is also pursuing a doctorate in naturopathy, researched the foods that TB patients ate during their convalescence in nearby Saranac Lake. “Once you were diagnosed, the idea was to keep up your weight. They pushed eggs, milk, bone broths,” she says. Hohmeyer leafed through cookbooks of the era, developed recipes, and

Near Hohmeyer’s workstation, a pile of foraged orange lobster mushrooms and another of pale, teardrop-shaped roots await her knife.

began holding interpretive dinners and demos of some of her techniques and the philosophy behind them — such as one called “The Forgotten Cure: Cure Cottage Cuisine ” at a recent festival. Those techniques include using essential oils, such as basil oil in a trout dish, or “unbelievably earthy” pepper oil. “It takes super-little,” Hohmeyer says, to affect the taste of a dish. “And it bumps up the vibrational level of the food,” she adds, evoking the naturopathic concept that each food has an energy level that can be measured in megahertz. Hohmeyer carefully controls cooking temperature to preserve the nutrients in the foods she buys from local farms or picks in her garden. When she can, she soaks and sprouts grains to neutralize the acids that can cause allergies; she uses yogurt and sour cream liberally; and she lacto-ferments vegetables, including her own red cabbage. “I never thought I’d use sauerkraut [in the lodge] until I had the real thing,” she says. Her sous-vide cooker “helps preserve

Those who eschew beer can choose from a list of 20 wines by the glass, most of them sustainably made. Each night, Hohmeyer explains the four or five entrée choices — an herb-encrusted Canadian salmon accompanied by sour cream infused with locally distilled vodka, perhaps; or the Adirondack Alps Hasenpfeffer (rabbit stew); a crisp, slow-roasted local duck; a bratwurst; or a pike-filled rösti.

Heady Topper, the popular double IPA from the Alchemist Pub and Brewery, will soon be trickling out across Vermont — in cans. The pub is almost through with a brand-spankin’new 15-barrel brewery, cannery and tasting room about a mile from its current digs in Waterbury. The new brewery, on Crossroad Road, has double the capacity of the seven-barrel system used in the pub. Last winter, co-owner (and brewer) John Kimmich hired Jim Conroy — formerly of Stowe’s Shed Restaurant & Brewery — to helm the new brewery and cannery, and Conroy has been in training all spring. Heady Topper is the first, and so far only, Alchemist creation to emerge from the brewery and will be distributed in Burlington, Montpelier and Stowe starting later this summer, says co-owner Jen Kimmich, though the brewery is currently awaiting its fermenters. If the distribution runs smoothly, the Boston market could be next — but nothing is written in stone. “We’ve never been able to sell growlers, because we brew to capacity, and the growler doesn’t preserve beer very well,” says Jen Kimmich. Light, in particular, can damage a

beer. But canning, she says, does the job. “The can presents us with a unique opportunity to put a very special beer in a container that will protect it from the harsh realities of leaving my loving embrace,” writes John Kimmich on the brewery’s website. The roughly 4000-squarefoot space will also have a tasting room and retail shop, and visitors will be able to take a self-guided tour. Jen Kimmich hopes the retail shop will open by Labor Day.

COURTESY OF LIQUIDS AND SOLIDS AT THE HANDLEBAR

ake Placid, N.Y., is full of touristy eateries, but townies used to favor a dive down by the train tracks called the Handlebar. It had a following, “since as long as I can remember,” says Keegan Konkoski, a decadelong resident. It still does, but not as a dive. Last summer, Konkoski, a longtime bartender, and her business partner, chef Tim Loomis, took over the space and turned it into a restaurant with a concept unlike the old rough-and-tumble pub — or anything else in the Adirondacks. Liquids and Solids at the Handlebar is the region’s first gastropub, a showcase for exuberantly creative cuisine that makes use of a burgeoning local community of young farmers. It is also 4:16 PM very likely the only restaurant in the Adirondacks with a mustache-andbicycle theme. Bike parts decorate the establishment, which seats 60 inside and 20 in its outdoor lounge in the back. Posters of handlebar-sporting, turn-of-the-lastcentury penny-farthing riders cover the walls. A pair of giant wooden mustaches, crafted by the restaurant’s “handyman,” Loomis’ father, hang from the ceiling, inviting guests to try on some comically large facial hair. Loomis sports a wild beard of his own. When he emerges from the kitchen to greet guests, Konkoski says, “People are like, ‘That can’t be the chef; he’s so young and bearded and not in whites.’” Both in their early thirties, Loomis and Konkoski are restaurant veterans, former personal partners who are now coupled only in business. Loomis, a Lyndonville native, left the Northeast Kingdom to study culinary arts at Paul Smith’s College. After doing rounds as a chef, butcher and winemaker in Sancerre, France, he settled in Lake Placid, where he cooked in venues from dives to upscale resort restaurants. Before striking out on their own, Loomis and Konkoski worked together a combined four years at different establishments around town. When they moved

forward with their own restaurant, they met with a business consultant, but they already had a vision in mind. “We had both decided we don’t want the white tablecloths; we just wanted awesome food and great presentation,” says Konkoski, the more talkative of the pair. The presentation begins with the bartender herself. Konkoski wears artfully heavy bangs with not a hair out of place. On a recent hot Saturday, she is dressed in a black-and-gray-striped tie-neck blouse and a black ruffled vest. Her darkly romantic look turns out to be a play on another visual theme at the restaurant. Both the men’s and women’s bathrooms are decorated in a similar stripy motif — pink-on-pink for girls, gray-on-gray for boys — and plastered with current and historical burlesque photos. Konkoski’s friendly demeanor and eye for style may bring some regulars to her bar, but it’s her unique drinks that are getting her name out there. How about a cilantro daiquiri with spiced rum? Or Smoked Ale, flavored with smoked ginger, cardamom and coriander syrup? Though the Lavandula, with its raspberry purée and lavender syrup, sounds awfully appealing, Konkoski says the Salad & Gin has become her trademark. “When I came up with it, I said,

‘This will make me famous, or no one will like this,’” she recalls. “But we’ve sold so many,” she adds in wonder. The refreshing cocktail is made from five-times-distilled No. 209 gin; herbaceous, chlorophyll-green Chartreuse; and a veritable garden of cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and thyme. It’s lightly salted, with fresh lemon and lime giving it the illusion of a vinaigrette-dressed summer salad. Konkoski makes all of her syrups and purées herself and says her inspiration is whatever is local and fresh at the moment. “Same with Tim and how he makes his own stocks,” she says. “That’s why we don’t have high prices.” Loomis is crafting more than just stocks from scratch. He and his team make everything at the restaurant except the bright-red Glazier franks featured in his pigs in a blanket. The quirky, juicy, regionally popular hot dogs are wrapped in puff pastry and accompanied by stripes of blisteringly hot mustard and cooling puddles of sweet zucchini relish. Most of the Liquids and Solids menu consists of small plates, with only five

looking feline friend? Percy is full of character, too! He loves flopping over on his back and showing off his tubby tummy. He is playful and social, always beckoning you to come visit the community cat room in which he resides. Due to a knee condition he has called luxating patellas, he will need a home committed to keeping his weight down.

they get business — and sometimes more. “We want to give back more than we consume,” says Konkoski. To that end, the kitchen sends its compost to a farm called Atlas Hoofed It in Vermontville, where the scraps feed eight hogs. In return, their flesh eventually makes it onto diners’ forks. The pigs at Kilcoyne Farms in Brasher Falls never ate Loomis’ handiwork, but their crispy pork belly with grilled frisée lettuce is a revelation. Cubes of pig flesh are rendered so that not a hint of fat remains. The velvety chunks are breaded and fried into something like meat croutons atop the warm, char-speckled lettuce. Mustard vinaigrette provides an acidic counterpoint to the earthy flavors, which also include toasted pumpkin seeds. Sweet figs and musty blue cheese add even more complexity. Cookbooks from famously carnivore restaurants such as Au Pied de Cochon and Ad Hoc line the shelves of Liquids and Solids. A menacing photo of a skull and crossbones carved from a steak, with bullets for teeth and knife and fork crossed like femurs, looms over the bar. While there’s no shortage of meat here, desserts also provide an exciting reason to visit Liquids and Solids. That said, sometimes even the sweets include flesh. Special cannoli recently noted on the brown-paper menu above the bar were filled with crisp, salty bacon and rich, ultra-dark chocolate cream. A regular offering of vividly hued banana ice cream is no less creative. It’s covered with tempura-fried chunks of banana and frozen slices of chocolatefilled crêpe that resemble tiny pinwheel cookies. Elegant, homemade, rosemaryscented whipped cream and a decidedly un-homemade maraschino cherry complete the fun. If such a dish sounds not just eclectic but random, that’s kind of the point. Just as the art on the restaurant’s walls came from generous friends, the food appears on plates as farmers make it available. “Really it’s all cobbled together,” says Konkoski. “And it turned out OK.” m

entrée-size dishes and a few daily specials. The bill of fare changes constantly; according to Konkoski, about 20 new items appear each month. The prices are smaller than the plates. A saucepot filled with ultra-crisp, bistro-style fries is just $2. At $12, the charcuterie board is the most expensive of the “smalls.” The creamy, French country-style pork terrine; sweet and comforting chickenliver mousse; and saline, fatty duck prosciutto could feed a table of four. The slices of grilled baguette, enough to accommodate all the meat, are spread with tangy cranberry mustard and topped with pink pickled onions. There are also pinkie-sized gherkins, only lightly pickled and tasting of summer. Loomis says that when the restaurant opened last year, local diners considered charcuterie little more than a curiosity. “Now, as word gets out and we build our reputation, people are more willing to try,” he says. They’re also sampling the beeftongue taco, oxtail scrapple and even fried Brussels sprouts, which the chef considers his breakout success. “People always come in for it, wanting the recipe,” Loomis says. “That’s a surprise hit that will never go away.” As they geared up to open last summer, the two worked hard to establish relationships with familiar faces from the Lake Placid Farmers Market, as well as with young farmers just starting out. After only a year of word of mouth, Loomis says, “Farms are approaching us. It eliminates a lot of legwork.” “They’re realizing that they can pawn off all the nasty bits on him,” adds Konkoski. The business plan from the beginning was “farm to fork.” The restaurant’s logo features that motto, along with a chicken with a spoon and fork for legs preparing to take a sip from a shot glass. The choice is ironic, says Konkoski, because “chicken is the most over-farmed animal” — and rarely appears on the menu at Liquids and Solids. Duck confit and chicken-fried steak are more common choices. Because so many farms supply the restaurant (Konkoski reels off five beef suppliers, each for a different cut), the menu offers no sourcing information. But if the farms don’t get printed props,

These days, the term “horsepower” has little to do with its roots. But at Shelburne Farms’ annual Green Mountain Draft Horse Field Day, ungulates in action display their might and muscle on the fields as a reminder of Vermont’s earlier days of agriculture. In fact, farmers across the state still use teams of Percherons, Clydesdales and other breeds for logging, plowing and haying. Using modern and antique equipment, steeds bred for strength demonstrate these traditional farming methods on Saturday. Watch the teamsters hoof it from the sidelines, or hop a wagon ride around the grounds for some perspective.

Here Comes the Sun

Naked yoga. Vino and vinyasa. Doga (yoga class for people and dogs). Yoga has certainly caught on in some wacky ways of late. For purists, nothing can beat early-morning sun salutations. Look no further than Yoga on the Mountain, where yogis of all levels complete the asana sequences — 108 of ’em, to match the number of mantra-counting beads — as daylight rises over Mt. Philo. Since “sun salutations are really vigorous,” as Vermont Community Yoga Project program director Lindsay Foreman notes, instructors offer a handful of variations — some may even involve dancing. The VCYP benefit funds yoga opportunities for kids and those without the financial resources to take classes at a studio; that is something to dance about.

rom fluttering their own shirts to simulate a high-speed train chase to maneuvering rolling set pieces midscene, the cast of QNEK Productions’ The 39 Steps is practically part of the crew. Four multitaskers — Brian Kilday, Shannon Harkey, Damian Mooney and Phil Gosselin — morph into more than 100 characters in this Tony Award-winning comedy-thriller, which spoofs Hitchcockian storylines. After witnessing a murder in the London theater, innocent bystander Richard Hannay is roped into a madcap mystery that might explain what those 39 steps are all about. Puns, film-noir attitude and scenes done in slo-mo pack the laughs into this spy story.
