To a certain extent I agree with Walter Zeichners comments regarding changes at W NCS, a.k.a. The Point [“What’s the Point?” Dec. 11]. While there is much to be critical about, The Point is still one o f the best radio alternatives around. However, my question to both The Point and Mr. Zeichner is, why shouldn’t I expect more? Is it really good enough to be the best o f the poor choices? As long as we are willing to accept less, no one will give us more.

It was good to see Seven Days report some o f the details of recent events at W NCS [“What’s the Point?” Dec. 11], as I imag ine there’s a considerable overlap between the Seven Days and Point audiences. I’m not certain how a very limited playlist and constant sta tion IDs will attract new listen ers from other stations. I am cer tain that many o f us who made W NCS our station o f choice for years have substantially reduced our listening to them, sought out alternatives, or just tuned

Shumski’s description o f the Democratic Mayoral Caucus on December 17 as a “hijacking,” [“Inside Track,” Dec. 18], 94 Democrats and citizens voted to endorse Mayor Peter Clavelle while 89 voted for Councilor Montroll. In a town-meeting atmos phere where both candidates presented their views and asked

for the party’s endorsement, and where every person present had an opportunity to express their arguments and most bitter feel ings with the candidates present, a majority o f Democrats voted to put aside past wars with the Progressives and to support the candidate most able to begin to heal the rift and most able to implement, on a local, core level,

democratic values: universal health care, equal education, affordable housing, environmen tal protection, civil rights, womens rights, human rights and peace. It stands to reason that Shumski’s anger, then, arises from the new strength o f the Democrats who have decided that to further their agenda they

must end the fratricidal split, which has divided votes and only benefited the GOP, its can didates and its programs.

DOING UP DEAN I just read the latest issue last night and thoroughly enjoyed it, as usual. Quite an issue with your positive portrayal o f Dean, or should one say your allow ance o f his positive portrayal of himself [“Inside Track,” Jan 8], Is this an endorsement o f Howard by Peter Freyne? Once

again, Howard is very slick and seems that he has convinced, with such innocent subtlety, your paper into providing the public with yet another new side o f Howard Dean for President. He certainly fits into the mold now for presidential hopefuls and the “stuff” they feel they must spew to get elected. N ow he is a Bible-thumper and, to quote him, “I’m always amazed at the people who call themselves Christian who go out o f their way to treat people the opposite o f the way Jesus d id ... The part that says ‘love thy neighbor as thyself.’” Does this “Dean philosophy” contrast just a bit with the side presented by another [colum nist] for Seven Days, Michael Colby [“Left Field”]? Does the Vermont environment deserve to be loved enough to be allowed to exist in its pure state unpol luted by big business? As I stated above, again excellent reporting, and you are still keeping Vermonters on their toes, and now the nation, to figure out who Howard Dean really might be. Thanks so much.

Comment L a ra quotes

t present, it looks like Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle will cruise to victory on March 4 without a worthy opponent. Last month Mayor Moonie locked up both the Progressive Party and Dem o cratic Party endorsements. But Seven Days has learned that Republican spinmeister extraordinaire Rep. Kurt Wright came within a whisker o f signing up a leading Democrat to jump into the race as an Independent. And what a scheme it was! Wright, the only Burlington Repub lican in the House, told Seven Days that he hatched the scheme while listening to Clavelle on a local radio show last month. “He sounded smug,” said Wright, “like his re-election was a done deal.” Wright, who manages Kerry’s Kwik Stop on St. Paul Street, said he realized the “smartest” strategy for the GOP was to “stay out o f the race,” since the Rs would just go out and get “beat up.” It was obvious to Kwik Stop Kurt that the only way to defeat Clavelle was to encourage a Democrat to run as an Inde pendent, with the notion that Progressive Pete had unfairly swiped the Democratic endorsement from Democrat Andy

Montroll Kwik Stop drew up a list o f possible candidates. He told yours truly that Bill Keogh, a city councilor and state rep, as well as former city councilor Maurice Mahoney, turned him down. But his third choice, City Councilor Ian Carleton (Ward 1) did not. “I’d noticed,” said Wright, “that Ian had the spark to tussle with the mayor.” Carleton’s an attorney at Hoff Curtis. Holding up his thumb and forefinger so they were almost touching, Wright said, “Ian was ready to go.” Wright told Carleton he would make sure there was no Republican candidate to split the vote. And he promised to work hard to get out the ABC (Anybody But Clavelle) vote in his home turf, the city’s New North End. Things were looking real good. But then, said Wright, two things happened that thwarted his plan. One was Republican Councilor Kevin Curley’s indecision about enter ing the race. “We had a candidate who was thinking about running. He had to decide on his own time frame. I- can understand that,” said Kwik Stop, “but in terms o f this, it had to come together quickly.” Once word got out to Clavelle, he said, pressure would be brought to bear on Carleton. Everything was unfolding according to plan. At last week’s Burlington GOP cau cus, the decision was made not to run a candidate for mayor. Wright had deliv ered. But suddenly, Carleton got cold feet. Wright said that outgoing Democratic Gov. Howard Dean weighed in. Dean told Carleton to drop it. It would not be good for the Democratic Party and it would not be good for Carleton’s career. Carleton confirmed the scheme, but denied he was as close to running as

Kwik Stop indicated. He told yours truly that in the days following Clavelle’s vic tory at the December Democratic Caucus, many people had called him, including Republicans and disgruntled Democrats, urging him to run. “There were so many moving parts to this,” said Carleton, “and the moving parts were not coming together.” He said he “was not going to go off half-cocked.” Carleton also noted he is the Chitten den County Democratic Chairman. “Obviously,” he said, “I had to take my position in the party seriously.” But Carleton declined to say if Gov. Dean had discouraged him from run ning. One source told us that Dean had promised to personally line up the Burlington business community behind Clavelle if Carleton entered the race. The almost-candidate told yours truly this week that Progressive Pete “won the Democratic endorsement fair and square.” But winning that endorsement, he said, should prevent the mayor from endorsing city council candidates in wards where a Democrat and a Progres sive are running head to head. It would be the “noble” thing to do, said Carleton the Democrat. “As I’ve done in the past,” said Mayor Clavelle, “I will be supporting Demo crats, Independents and Progressives.” He said he’ll personally sit down with the council candidates before deciding. Asked about Carleton’s suggestion that he avoid races pitting Democrats against Progressives, Mayor Moonie said he had n’t come to a “final conclusion on that.” But Democratic State Auditor Elizabeth Ready has. Chainsaw Liz is already supporting Progressive Carina Driscoll, who’s running in Ward 3. The problem is, Carina is running against Democrat Gail Compton. Ready told yours truly this week that she wasn’t aware there was a fellow Democrat in the race, but she said she would continue to support Driscoll. Compton, a single mother raising five boys, said she had coffee with Clavelle Tuesday morning. “It went well,” she said. “He’s in a tough position. If he supports either can didate, he’ll make the other party angry. He should stay neutral.” As for Chainsaw Liz’s endorsement o f her Prog opponent, Compton said she was “surprised someone as politically astute as Ms. Ready” would support a candidate o f a different party “without knowing who was running.”

Baby of the Year” was a 5-pound 2ounce girl born one minute after mid night on New Years Day at Inova Fair Oaks Hospital in Fairfax County, Virginia. The infant girl was conceived through artificial insemination and has two mothers: Helen Rubin, 33, who gave birth, and Joanna Bare, 35, her partner. The biological father is a family friend whom the couple declined to name. • The first baby of the year in Hernando County, Florida, was a 7-pound 10ounce girl born to Cynthia Colon and

Les Lundberg, worship sales manager for Irwin Seating Co.., said that theater-style seats are especial ly popular in large, new Christian churches, Southern Baptist churches and synagogues. “For many first-timers, the only way they make contact with the church is on their behind,” said Steve Korn, a teaching pastor at CedarCreek Church in suburban Toledo, Ohio. “If they’re comfortable, like the service and the building, they’ll probably come back.”

• Churches are also installing better sound systems to amplify the word of God. Bigger churches have used such systems for years, but the Washington Post reported that even smaller churches are joining in, featuring dozens of microphones and high-performance speakers, as well as elaborate video sys tems that use strategically placed cam eras to project pastors, choirs and wor shippers on wall-size screens. “Worship is a form of entertainment,” said Al Perry, technical adviser for media min istry at Fort Foote Baptist Church in Fort Washington, Maryland, which included a $300,000 audiovisual system as part of its new $6 million sanctuary. “If people are not entertained, they don’t feel like they’re participating.”

Internet use, credit-card transactions, airline ticket purchases, and phone and bank records of anyone it suspects of posing a terrorist threat. The program falls under the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is head ed by retired Adm. John Poindexter, the national security adviser during the Reagan administration who was convict ed (later unconvicted) of lying to Congress in the Iran-Contra scandal.

After he got wedged in the chimney and had to be rescued, he explained that he got the idea from the chimney sweep character played by Dick Van Dyke in the movie Mary Poppins, which he had just seen. ®

t was New Year’s Eve, the busiest night of the year for cabbies — no close second. I was flat out when a call came in from the Amtrak station. “Two of us out here need a ride,” a woman said. “1 have to get to the Day’s Inn, and a young woman needs to get to some place called the Lund Home.” “Yeah,” I replied, “I know where both those places are. I’ll be there in about 15 minutes and I can take both o f ya.” As I sped toward Essex Junction, I thought about how cultural mores have changed since the Lund Family Center was founded so many years ago. Most people still call it the “Lund Home,” which I believe was short for the “Lund Home for Unwed Mothers.” But some things never change. There are still young women in need o f sanctuary, and the Lund Center provides it when they’re most vulnerable. As I came upon the train station, a black woman of about 40 waved to me. On the ground next to her was a small, tan valise; in one hand she held a shop ping bag overflowing with gold-wrapped boxes. She was plump — and I’ve got to say pleasingly so — and wore a violet, hooded coat. “Hey, thanks for coming,” she said as I pulled up. “I’ll go into the terminal and get the girl.”

“Yes, I am,” she said, handing me a 10 and a 20. “Keep the change. Happy New Year.” “That is really, really something,” I said. “Thanks a lot.” “Hey, I’ve been there,” she replied with a warm smile, and turned to walk into the hotel. I got back into the driver’s seat and we pulled away. “Guess what,” I said to the girl. “She just paid your fare.” “Omigod! That is totally sweet. I can’t tell you how much that helps me out. I really needed rhe cab fare to buy diapers. I Wish I couk thank her. If you see her again, r ase tell her I said thanks.” “I will,” I replied, thinking that would never happen. A half-hour later I received another call from the train station. “Could you take me to the Sheraton?” a woman asked. “I was supposed to be picked up to go to Killington, but there’s been a mix-up and I need to stay overnight in Burlington.” On my way back to Essex Junction the cellular rang again. “Hi, you gave me your card when you dropped me off at the Day’s Inn. I called my daughter in Hardwick and she suggested I go to Leunig’s restaurant tonight.” “I’m on my way,” I replied, and hus tled out to grab the Amtrak fare — a

I felt like I was in a movie, except you couldn't make this stuff up. I loaded the woman’s bags into the trunk and she returned carrying a bulky gym bag. Behind her walked a teenager, no more than 16, with bright rosy cheeks. She had a tiny, sleeping baby in a carrier. The older woman got in front with me, while the young mom climbed into the rear and seat-belted her infant. As we got underway, the woman turned to the back and said, ‘How are you doing, honey?’” “Oh, I’m doing great. Michelle slept the whole way up on the train. She’s such a good baby — I’m so lucky! That was awesome o f you to get the cab — the sta tion guy said it was gonna be a hard night to get one out here.” “That’s fine, dear,” the woman replied. “You just keep taking good care o f that baby. She is a darlin’.” “You staying in town for a few days?” I asked my seatmate. “No, I’m renting a car tomorrow and driving out to spend time with my daughter. She just got married and moved to Hardwick. The Christmas gifts are a little belated, but I know she and her new husband will appreciate them.” The Day’s Inn across from St. Michael’s College came up on the left, and we pulled around back to the lobby entrance. As the woman and I got out and I unloaded her stuff from the trunk, she asked, “How much is my fare and hers combined?” “Well, yours is $10 and hers will be $14. Are you gonna cover her fare?”

very stylish, thirtysomething New York City woman. On the way to the Sheraton, we stopped for the Good Samaritan lady, who again sat in the front. I spoke up right away. “So, the young mom was quite touched by your generosity, paying her fare and all, and she said to tell you thanks.” “Look,” the woman said. “When I was not much older than her, the father of my child walked out on us. It was right around Christmastime, and I didn’t have a penny to my name. A neighbor came by one night with a card. I opened it after she left and found three $100 bills inside. That allowed us to have Christmas, and I’ve never forgotten how much that meant to me.” We stopped at the Sheraton and I got out to unload the New York lady’s suit case and skis. She handed me $25. “This’ll cover both o f us?” she asked. “Don’t tell me you’re paying her fare?” I asked, now truly amazed. “That is too much.” “No, it isn’t,” she shot back with a touch o f that Big Apple swagger. “Buddy, that’s just the way it’s done.” I felt like I was in a movie, except you couldn’t make this stuff up. “Ma’am, you won't believe it, but that lady just paid your fare,” I said when I got back in the cab. The woman smiled, nodded once and didn’t say a word. The news o f the world had been dampening my spirits, but these two women made me feel there was hope for 2003 after all. ®

Dear Cecil, In the early ‘60s, my parents subscribed to Reader’s Digest. One story in there, just before JFK was assassinated, was about some Russian cosmonauts who were stranded in an expanding orbit around Earth — they were slowly but surely pulling away from the Earth and there was no means o f retrieval This was supposedly documented by some ham radio operators in the free world, who had picked up radio communications from the doomed cosmonauts. The general thrust o f the article was, “Look what those evil Commies have done now — they don’t even care about their own. ”Assuming that the article was a crock, what was the incident that precipitated the story — or am I the only one who hasn’t forgotten about those poor fellers? — Chuckleberry Calgary, Alberta Maybe you didn’t forget, Chuck, but you got the details a little cockeyed. Here’s the deal: (1) The story didn’t appear prior to the JFK assassination, but rather in the April 1965 issue — you can read a transcription at www.lostcosmonauts.com. (2) While ham radio operators were peripherally involved, most of the alleged transmissions were picked up by two brothers in Italy who operated an extraordinary homemade space listening post with a 40-foot octagonal dish antenna. (3) The brothers claimed to have heard signals from not one but three troubled Soviet spacecraft over a seven-month period. Their reports don’t correspond to any known accidents suffered by the Soviet manned space pro gram. But the Russians did cover up at least one cosmonaut death during the ’60s and went to bizarre lengths to expunge other cosmonauts from official histories. So if a few folks insist the Russians still haven’t come clean about their early space disasters (see above Web site), it’s not like they’re complete lunatics. Back to the Italian brothers. According to Reader’s Digest, Achille and Giovanni Battista Judica-Cordiglia and their team of 15 space enthusiasts heard three signs of dis tress from Russian rocketeers. On November 28, 1960, a

spacecraft supposedly radioed three times, in Morse code and in English, “SOS to the entire world.” A few days later the Russians admitted a failed launch on December 1 but said nothing about anyone on board. This was months before the flight of Yury Gagarin, who supposedly became the first human in orbit on April 12, 1961. In early February 1961 the brothers picked up the sound of a wildly beating heart and labored breathing — a dying cosmonaut? Finally, on May 17, 1961, two men and a woman were overheard saying, in Russian, “Conditions growing worse; why don’t you answer?... we are going slower... the world will never know about us.” No question, there’s a lot the Russians didn’t tell us dur ing the space race. In a chapter of his 1988 book Uncovering Soviet Disasters: Exploring the Limits o f Glasnost, entitled “Dead Cosmonauts,” space engineer and historian James Oberg relates several episodes: • On March 23, 1961, three weeks before Gagarin’s flight, cosmonaut Valentin Bondarenko died horribly after a fire in an oxygen-rich pressure chamber used for training, which started when he carelessly tossed a cotton pad on a hot plate. Bondarenko’s death was not acknowledged until 1986. • One cosmonaut was airbrushed out of a widely circu lated 1961 photo of the original Soviet space team, not because he’d died in the line of duty but because he’d been cashiered. Again, not until 1986 was the truth revealed: The missing man was Grigoriy Nelyubov, who along with two other men had been bounced from the cosmonaut corps in late 1961 after fighting with some soldiers in a rail station. Embittered and alcoholic, he was killed in 1966 when he stepped in front of a train. • Several other cosmonauts in training were also painted out of photos in books and other materials circulating in the Soviet Union. Most had been dropped from the roster for medical, disciplinary or academic reasons — the Soviets apparently wanteck.no suggestion that any cosmonaut was less than perfect. Did the Soviets conceal the deaths of cosmonauts besides Bondarenko? By 1973 Oberg had investigated a dozen rumors of cosmonaut deaths dating back to 1957, including two incidents that seem to correspond with reports from the Italian brothers. All proved baseless. Another bogus story, which ironically originated with the Moscow correspondent for Britain’s official Communist newspaper, concerned Vladimir Ilyushin, son of a Soviet aircraft designer, who’d supposedly been injured in a space shot prior to Gagarin’s flight. Oberg’s conclusion: Ilyushin was hurt in a car accident, and that incident was con flated with Bondarenko’s death. On the other hand, some acknowledged cosmonaut deaths were preventable, notably that of Vladimir Komarov, killed in 1967 when the chute on his Soyuz 1 spacecraft failed. A Russian engineer has acknowledged that the launch was ordered before the space craft had been fully debugged — probably for political reasons. For more, see www.fas.org/spp/guide/russia/piloted/ oberg8810.htm. Though the Russian space program clearly wasn’t the carnival of slaughter some in the west portrayed it to be, cosmonauts nonetheless took some appalling risks.

t was a dark and stormy night when I discovered that I’m a writer and — guess what — you’re a writer, too! O n the Internet, we can all be toiling authors and, without a stagnant editorial eye, instantly publish whole books, chapters or endless stanzas. The Internet is awash in online bad-writing contests. The only rub is that you generally need to be a good writer in order to write badly. But never mind, not only are we all writers, we are a ll poets'. Which is the only pos sible explanation for tTe flourishing existence of poetry.com. The site for the grandly named International Library of Poetry, poetry.com boasts an allegiance of 4.6 million poets, more than Shelley or Keats could have imagined in their most laudanuminspired dreams. The ILP will take any drivel, no matter how well intentioned, and publish it. You, as the honored, pre-press poet, are then invited to purchase one of their lovely hard bound books with your work crowded onto the page, or to consider the savings of buying two for friends. Hats and tote bags, needless to say, abound. The Internet widely warns against this site as a scam that plays on the tremulous vanity of its most ly elderly participants, but the ILP and poetry.com prosper nonetheless.

will be chaired by a Democrat. 3 — the number o f commit tees that will be chaired by a Republican. Next, lets look at the House: 74 — the number o f Repub licans in the Vermont House. 68 — the number o f Dem o crats in the Vermont House. 14 — the number of stand ing committees in the Vermont House. 14 — the number o f com mittees that will be chaired by a Republican. 0 — the number o f commit tees that will be chaired by a Democrat. The “Black Friday” release of Republican House Speaker Walter Freeds committee assignments even shocked some Republicans. One GOP senator used the term “nasty” to portray the Duke o f Dorset’s decision to deny Democrats a single chair manship in the evenly divided House. So was the decision by Freed, our favorite millionaire petroleum/tobacco dealer, to dump tal ented and experienced senior Democrats like Margaret Hummel o f Underhill, Alice Miller o f Shaffsbury and Sonny Audette o f South Burlington onto the Fish, Wildlife & Water Resources Committee. Audette and Rep. Bill Aswad o f Burlington were booted off the Transportation Committee. But transportation issues are their area of personal expertise. Aswad will sit on Education this biennium. Aswad’s resume includes four decades o f service on city and county planning panels. Audette retired as South Burlington’s public works director. Between them they’ve got about 70 years of transportation experience. These two guys know more about roads and bridges than you can possibly imagine. Unfor tunately for them, they also real ize the value o f bike paths and commuter rail. That’s probably why Speaker Freed yanked them. “After Black Friday,” said Aswad, “any thought o f a coop erative House working together is gone.” Audette agreed 100 percent. “I just had a heart attack,” said Sonny. “That was nothing compared to what this was.” “All that experience down the drain,” lamented Aswad. “All over petty politics,” echoed Audette. Nice going, Walt!

Deanwatch 2004 — Our favorite presidential hopeful finally showed up on the Republican radar screen. On Friday the Republican National Committee posted a full frontal assault on Howard Dean on its official Web site, www.rnc.org. Check it out! What you’ll find is a nasty attack on Ho-Ho for following the law. Dean signed and sup ports Vermont’s civil-union law that extends .the legal benefits o f marriage to same-sex couples. For him it’s a matter o f equal rights for all Americans. Equal rights, though, has long been a

Republican taboo. Just ask U.S. Sen. Trent Lott. And Dr. Dean supports the law that says women, not funda mentalist preachers, judges or Republican talk-show blowhards, have the right to control their own bodies. The RNC also completely distorted Dean’s posi tion on universal health care. Cool. Let’s face it. It’s no surprise the Republican Party would attack Dean on issues that fire up the party’s base o f gay-bashing, reli gious fanatics. Attacks like this one will only get Dean elected. Meanwhile, Seven Days has learned that Ho-Ho is having a little difficulty getting on the radar screen o f his beloved alma mater. Last week yours truly vis ited the Web site o f Yale Univer sity, where Dean graduated in 1971. To say Yale’s Web site reflects a pompous institutional attitude would be an understatement. In fact, Yale has a page that lists almost 300 “Yale Notables.” Both President George W. Bush and his dad are listed. So are Bill and Hillary Clinton, who went to Yale Law School, as did TV preacher Pat Robertson. There’s Meryl Streep, the actress, and Brian Dowling, the football player, as well as U.S. senators and gover nors. But there ain’t no mention o f the longest-serving governor in modern Vermont history and current presidential candidate, Howard Dean! We contacted the Yale Office-; o f Public Affairs to inquire why. The next day we received an email from Tom Violante, the assistant director for institution al issues: “We’re always pleased when people inform us o f another notable Yale alumnus or alumna who has been left off one o f the lists that are compiled from time to time. With so many dis tinguished alumni, it’s difficult to keep track o f everyone who makes a mark and we appreciate the help from the field. “We passed along the gover nor’s name to the compiler of this particular list, and it should be on the Web page soon.” As of Tuesday, Dean still hadn’t joined the other “notables.”

Job Switch for Justice Morse? — According to a rep utable Montpelier source, Associate Justice James Morse is about to leave the Vermont Supreme Court for a position in the new Douglas administration. Morse has been a judge since 1981. In 1988, Gov. Made leine Kunin appointed him to the Supremes. Chances o f the 62-year-old New York City native and Dartmouth grad ever making chief justice are between slim and none. That’s because current Chief Justice Jeff Amestoy appears to have many years of service ahead o f him. Asked about a Morse appoint ment, Douglas’ press secretary Jason Briggs replied, “I have absolutely no idea. I haven’t heard anything.”

DEMONSTRATION AND FREE SAMPLES! A Chat With Louise — Monday we had the opportuni ty to ask the new chairman o f the board at Fletcher Allen Health Care a couple o f ques tions. We wanted to know if recently departed hospital exec utives Thad Krupka and David Demers received golden parachutes like former CEO Bill Boettcher did. “They did not get a deal like Boettcher,” replied Louise McCarren o f Charlotte. “They didn’t get any severance,” she said. We asked, “Do you know the specifics of the arrangements?” “I do in principle,” said McCarren. “They got some salary extension.” We’d heard they received a year’s pay. Is that correct? “Well, it’s salary extension,” she replied. I don’t know all the details, but basically when they get another job, it stops.” “Salary extension.” Has a nice ring to it, eh? Incidentally, one o f the new trustees, Elizabeth Robert of Vermont Teddy Bear, was McCarren’s campaign manager when she ran for lieutenant govfiprtor irt.' 1990. McCarren ' lost the Republican primary to Michael Bernhardt, who then lost the general election to Howard Dean. And, McCarren said, she’s “looking forward” to working with the task force recently set up by Congressman Bemie Sanders to open up Vermont’s largest hospital to public scruti ny and restructure its gover nance. In fact, Louise reminded us of her part in the 1981 drama in which Ol’ Bernardo won the Burlington mayor’s race. “How did Bemie get elected to be mayor?” she asked. “He got 10 more votes than the other guy,” we answered. “What allowed Bernie to do that?” “Dickie Bove,” we replied. Bove ran as an independent and took about 1500 votes from incumbent Gordie Paquette. Sanders won by 10 vote's with 40.1 percent. “N o,” said Ms. McCarren. “Bernie Sanders showed up at my house at three in the morn ing because my husband was a superior court judge. He impounded all the ballots.” Louise’s husband, Ed Amidon, subsequently left the bench. He currently serves in the Vermont House. Sounds like the fact that Ed did his judicial duty makes Louise feel a little ownership o f Bernie’s political success. Interesting. ®

The Vision Thing

T h ere’s m ore to LA S IK surgery than m eets the eye

M STORY

PA M ELA PO LSTO N

y friend Jessica warned me about the smell o f burn ing flesh. And the stinging sensation that lasted for hours. “It hurt like hell,” she said blandly, the memory o f her eye laser surgery still vivid after two years. Out o f the eight people I know who have undergone “LASIK,” Jessica was the only one who gave it to me straight. Or so it seemed. But why had everyone else been unanimously positive when I said I was considering it? My research had already assured me that no one has been blinded by LASIK; I just wanted to know how much I had to suffer. I dialed up a few other friends who were still reveling in their triumph over myopia. “No, I didn’t have that much pain,” said Franny, sounding puzzled. I believed her. I called Tara. “No, it didn’t really hurt,” she agreed, though she confirmed the olfactory unpleas antness o f fried eyeballs. Satisfied with my scientific survey — two to one! — I decided the “no pain, no gain” credo did not have to apply to the miracle o f restored vision. I called my eye doctor. “I’m ready to go for it,” I said quickly, before I could chicken out. He set up a schedule for my pre-op tests and, eventually, an appointment at Laservue in Montreal. He sends patients to the Canadian crew because of their experience — more than 35,000 operations. The expectation o f perfect eyesight was thrilling, like meeting an extraterrestrial or something. O f course, that little matter o f getting my eyeballs sliced and zapped was scary as hell. It would prove to be a lot more than I’d bargained for.

tial risks are known, however, including permanent eye dryness, glare or “halos” around lights at night and, worse, actually losing lines on the vision chart. Everyone I know, however, has been delighted with the results. Still, in the weeks leading up to my eye surgery, a small, contrary part o f me felt like LASIK was cheating somehow. Was it right to over rule the bad karma that had caused me to get glass es at age 7? How could it be so easy? My childhood had been punctuated by visits to the opthalmologist... and getting stronger prescriptions every year. My mind spooled back in time, revisiting my “eye history.” I still blamed getting glasses on Mrs. Cowger — the second-grade teacher who inexplica bly liked a darkened classroom, shades pulled down, the old bat. I scooted my desk closer and closer to the blackboard until she called to tell my mom I couldn’t see. I remembered my first pair of glasses, with blue plastic frames, which I carefully removed before recess and, even so, managed to break on the first day. I was finally allowed, at age 16, to get contact lenses. They were hard plastic in those days, and how I struggled to get used to them! I nearly failed chemistry because my eyes were so scratchy every morning, I couldn’t pay attention to anything else. Things were better after I got new ones that fit, but it was too late for the periodic table. I lost one pair o f lenses underwater when some high school boys tossed me, screeching, into a swimming pool. Another pair disappeared when I threw up after too much vodka punch at a Polish wedding. More than once total strangers helped me

karma as a problem that science could finally solve. Au revoir, guilt. Bonjour, laser.

It was a gray day when Franny drove me to Montreal. I’d asked her to accompany me because she was an eye-surgery “vet.” When the border guard asked what we’d be doing in Canada, Franny told her I was getting “Laservue’d.” The woman smiled knowingly and waved us on. We checked in early at the clinic on Rue Beaumont and had some lunch at a cafe down stairs. I was too nervous to finish mine. My 1 o’clock appointment arrived. I filled out paperwork, paid for the surgery — $1600 American — and' had a battery of eye exams for the next hour. Everyone was good about telling me what would happen, and in excellent English. -What happened was this: In an anteroom, I lay down while a technician streamed rivulets over my eyes; one of the drops was an anesthetic. Then she stood me up and net ted my hair. I was otherwise normally dressed, including shoes. My surgeon, Dr. A. Gordon Balazsi, greeted me in the operating room and asked Franny if she wanted to watch. I took this to mean did she want to observe through the glass sur rounding the surgery area? She said yes and disap peared. I would later find out that my brave friend had observed the surgery on the video the doctor watched as he performed it, my eyeball filling the entire screen. Balazsi instructed me to lie down on the table and align myself under the equipment. He said to

The expectation of perfect eyesight w a s thrilling, like m eeting an extraterrestrial or som eth in g. O f course, that little m atter of getting m y eyeballs sliced a n d z a p p e d w a s sca ry a s hell. LASIK is short for laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis. Also called refractive surgery, it’s a procedure that permanently changes the shape of the cornea, thus changing how light focuses on the retina. It can correct nearsightedness (myopia), far sightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism, but can’t help you if you’re in over-40 reading glasses. While LASIK has been performed in other countries for more than a decade, this specific laser was only approved for use in the United States in 1998. That’s why the Food and Drug Administration says “the long-term safety and effectiveness o f LASIK surgery is not known” on its otherwise informative Web site (www.fda.gov/cdrh/LASIK). Some poten-

search on hands and knees for a lens that had popped out. During late nights at college, I’d remove contacts that felt like Scotch tape on my eyeballs and suck them to “clean” off debris. When I switched from hard to soft lenses in the mid-’80s, I suddenly developed astigmatism, as if my eyes had been released from a straightjacket and went crazy afterwards. After that, my “corrected” view of the world was still slightly impressionistic. All my life, 20/-20 vision seemed like an impossi ble dream. Except it wasn’t anymore. I considered all the other technological advances I’d embraced — microwave ovens, e-mail, cell phones — and decided that my poor eyesight wasn’t so much bad

keep looking at the red light overhead. Then some thing was placed over my right eyeball, I assumed to hold it steady. I felt a teensy bit o f pressure, then nothing at all. Balazsi covered my left eye and got to work. When I tell this next part, most people wince. A machine with a very tiny, very sharp blade came from somewhere and made a microscopic cut, then Balazsi manually lifted the cornea over, like a little lid. My red light became a red amorphous blob. Then came the lasering — eight “applications” per eye, each accompanied by a little whirring noise. This is where it got very trippy. And speaking o f drugs, I’d been given a Valium about 20 minutes

earlier, so I was totally relaxed. When the laser hit my eye, evaporating microns o f my cornea, I saw hundreds o f little tiny black squiggly lines. Wow, I thought, this is what burning flesh looks like from the “inside.” Cool. When the laser stopped, the squiggles disappeared. Then Balazsi replaced the corneal flap, and I sensed him gently “tapping” it in place. He re moved the thing holding my eye, covered it and repeated the process on the other side. The whole thing was done in minutes. I’m a little fuzzy on the post-op. Somehow I was outfitted with plastic shields over my eyes — taped to my face so I couldn’t remove them. They had lit tle holes for air, and were transparent so I could see to walk. But other than that I was to keep my eyes shut ior the next six hours. I popped four ibuprofen in the car. At the hotel I went to sleep, noting that my eyes were burning a little but did not “hurt like hell.” I woke up nearly three hours later and squinted my way to the bath room. The burning was gone, replaced by a mild scratchiness. I napped a little more, and eventually I could open my eyes — though the shields stayed on until the next morning. We went to dinner at a bistro two blocks away, where everyone stared at me except the waiter; he kindly pretended not to notice I looked like the victim o f some terrible accident. Dr. Balazsi approved my eyes the next morning and gave me a pair o f reading glasses that I would now need, along with some artificial tears I’d be needing a lot. The surgery severs tiny nerves in the eyes that are involved in tear production, and it would take them a while to grow back. Elated, I got in the car with Franny to return to Vermont, reading license plates and billboards like a first-grader along the way.

When I woke up on the fourth day after surgery, something was wrong. My left eye seemed to be coated in Vaseline, the visual acuity decreased. Panicked, I called my eye doctor, and though it was a Sunday he came in to examine me at his office. “It looks like you’ve developed a little keratitis,” he told me calmly, referring to an inflammation behind the corneal flap. He set me up with an opthalmologist that afternoon who would prescribe a treatment. Keratitis — diffuse lamellar keratitis, to be exact — is not typical after LASIK, but it’s not unheard of. In one study I read, 36 out o f 2711 eyes devel oped it. The cause is not well understood; could be a speck o f dust under the flap, or just the body’s immune response. The condition also has the more exotic name o f “sands o f Sahara syndrome” because that’s what it looks like under a microscope. My own sand dune was near the center o f my cornea, dulling my vision. The condition is not serious if treated immediately. Long story short, I used steroid eyedrops for a month and it went away.

Nearly two months after the surgery, my eyes are still dry but improving. It is surely more chal lenging to have LASIK in the winter. And a recent flight taught me that only the actual desert is more arid than the inside o f an airplane. I drink tons o f water, generally treating myself like a wilted plant. Others note me plying the artificial tears, but the most profound changes for me are invisible. The first, o f course, is being able to see without aid. Though I wear glasses for the mounds o f read ing I do, on the highway I’m an eagle. Well, almost. It’s really strange seeing clearly in the places I never could before — namely, in the shower and bed. I’ve had blurry baths since elementary school; what I can see now motivates me to clean the bath room more often. From my bed, I’m still amazed to see perfectly the walls, curtains, floor. The first few days, it was shocking to see myself in the mirror. That’s what I look like in the morning? Yikes. But an experience one night several weeks ago really stunned me. I had put down my book and reading glasses and, as I reached to turn out the light, I felt a sudden stab o f alarm. I had to see — I had no choice! The utter clarity momentarily unnerved me, and I realized how accustomed I had been to the soft focus at either end o f my day. Now it was gone. When I mentioned this to a bespectacled friend later, he replied that he liked “having the option of a relaxing, blurry view.” Exactly, I thought. I have lost one o f my options. I don’t want myopia back, but I did mourn its loss just a little. I noticed, too, that seeing well has made me feel more visible to others. Being in the blur was rather like when a baby thinks no one can see him if he puts his hands over his eyes; if everyone is hazy to me, perhaps I am hazy to them. Illogical, but there it is. I had always treasured my ability to withdraw, to be “not seen,” and now I realize what a trick o f the mind that was. Probably this will pass as I adapt to sightedness. The really incredible thing, though? I feel like my vision is better in the larger sense o f the word. I’m not claiming that LASIK made me wiser or any thing; maybe it’s just that my post-surgical affirma tion worked. When I came home from Montreal, I took Franny’s advice and performed a little ritual with my contact lenses and all the accompanying products. Nothing too esoteric; I just gathered them up and said out loud to the air; “Thank you for this incredible opportunity to have the gift o f sight. I will use it as a metaphor and an inspiration to see everything in my life more clearly.” Then I dumped the products in the trash. I had expected that LASIK would allow me to see the world with new eyes. But I never imagined so much o f the looking would be inward. ®

SEVEN DAYS.

K, I have symptoms. I’m cranky. I wake up nights in a sweat. I can’t concentrate on stuff like housework or the grocery list. Sometimes I for get what year it is. I don't think these symptoms are pre-menopausal. I’m tired o f hearing about menopause. Sure, STORY I’m fiftyish, have gray hair and knee creaks and K A T H A R IN E can’t hear the stereo unless it’s cranked. I want a H IK E L convertible and a sizzling affair, and I get dry heaves when anyone invites me to a baby shower. I MAGE So what? SU SA N Any female who’s survived teenhood in Amer N O RTO N ica should find menopause to be a piece o f cake. We have drivers’ licenses. We have credit cards. We can drink and smoke and get laid as much as we want. We can lip o ff at school board meetings and write letters to the editor. We can vote. W hat is the problem? The problem is that, just as we reach the pin nacle o f our powers, the commercial medical media insists on turning our condition into a diagnosis. In certain other cultures, some o f the benefits o f being an older woman include sexual freedom and the right to hold public office. We get hot flashes, night sweats and bad press. But still. These are not symptoms; they are reactions. Reactions to what, you might ask? Wake up and smell the pheromones. Let’s start with politics. If the tables were reversed — if there were 13 men and 37 women in the U.S. Senate, and 35 men and 400-som e thing wom en in the House — we’d see who got hot flashes. Fashion. If men’s secondary sex characteristics were covered up, restrained, fetishized, ranked too big or too small and fed on synthetic hor mones and environmental toxins, we’d see who got malignant lumps. Privacy. If men’s major genital organs were debated, voted upon, taken to the Supreme Court, tied to their parents and constantly made a matter o f public opinion, we’d see who devel oped dysfunctional bleeding. W hat year is this? W hat I’m saying is, this is not a particularly woman-friendly culture. I hate waking up in a sweat in the middle o f the night worrying about *. . a « * -w *v « m * * # • w j*

WRITIP Vermonters recall by Seven Days Staff

Dr. Charlie Houston: retired physician and mountain clim ber “We had walked for a month to get to the base of the mountain and climbed for three weeks more to reach 26,000 feet,” Charlie Houston recalls. “We were within reach of the summit, we thought, when a fierce storm struck us, imprisoning all eight of us in our tents. The storm raged for 10 days. On the second or third day, Art complained of pain in his leg. I managed to examine him and found blood clots had formed. He could not walk. He could not possibly climb down the difficult route we had followed.” While the storm continued to rage and the climbers grew weaker, Houston and his companions had to decide what to do. Some choices were out of the question. “We could not leave Art. We would have to try to get him down.” When the storm slackened slightly they bundled up Art, semi-conscious, and started to lower him down over rocks on a new route they had not seen before. The steep slope they had climbed was now an avalanche trap. “After four or five hours of labor, in blinding snow and wind, we lowered him over a small cliff, secured him by rope to one member of the party and tried to climb down. One of us fell, pulling everyone else off. By some miracle, our rope tangled with the rope by which Art was belayed. By an even greater miracle, Pete was able to hold the six of us falling.” They retreated to one side, but when they went back to bring Art with them, an ava lanche had swept him away. “Next day, all of us slightly injured, we managed to find our way down. It took four days to get back to security and safety at base camp in Pakistan.”

Brian Tyrol: co-ow ner of CAD Cut and skillet-thrower Brian Tyrol and his family were visiting relatives in Conway, Massachusetts, at the time of the Fall Foliage Festival. There was a parade with new fire engines and old citizens — Dot, 102, and Louise, 95 — followed by exotic foods and a belly-dancing demonstration by Cindy’s School of Dance. But the highlight of the day was the skillet-throwing contest. Though Brian was reluctant to enter, he bowed to family pressure. “You can just imagine the other entrants,” says his wife, Adelaide. “Huge, shaved-head motorcycle guys in black leather; strong, silent dairy farmers, 20-year-old body builders and a few enormous women of unknown vocations, though I know one was a cop.” The event lasted an hour and a half. When Brians turn finally came, says Adelaide, “My man threw that freakin’ slab of iron out of the park.” Brian’s brother brayed, “Free drinks at the Conway Inn!” Life was glorious. About 12 more contestants threw. Brian not only beat the record that day but bested the previous year’s champion as well. The contest was over and the family was heading out to collect kudos and the prize, people shaking Brian’s hand along the way, when they saw a huge, Nordic, 25-year-old demi-god striding across the battlefield. They stopped. The demi-god approached the booth and asked if he could add his name. Though entries had closed an hour earlier, the officials conceded. The man walked up to the line, flexed and threw — poorly. But a bystander said he had overstepped the line and should re-throw. Jie did, and beat Brian by a few inches. Brian won a pair of scissors. There were no free drinks at the Conway Inn. But the Tyrols still keep an old iron skillet in the boiler room for pre-fall-festival workouts, just in case.

Chuck Courcy: Rock Point property caretaker and kayaker

ILLUSTRATION: DAN SALAMIDA

When Chuck Courcy isn’t patrolling the cliffs and trails at the Rock Point Episcopal Center in Burlington, he’s out skiing, hiking or mountain biking. The former U.S. Navy submariner also enjoys being out on the water. Kayaking with a more experienced friend down the Huntington River one day in early spring, Courcy capsized. “It was only the third or fourth time I’d done whitewater kayaking,” he says. “And it was a little sketchy. We didn’t really know if the river was navigable.” The water temperature was between 35 and 40 degrees when he flipped over into it. “I was heading toward an over hanging branch. I heard my buddy say, ‘Don’t touch the — ’ and I was underwater instanta neously.” His wetsuit kept him somewhat insulated from the cold, but it didn’t help him breathe. “I was stuck under a tree, and I had all this water pressure pinning me down,” he explains. “I was definitely running out of air.” Courcy estimates he spent 30 seconds submerged before he managed to free himself, at which point he retrieved his boat and kept paddling down the river. Courcy has since given up whitewater kayaking. “At least until my daughter’s old enough to try it,” he says. “Then maybe we’ll take lessons.”

Gris Toomey: math cunricuium coordinator and hiker

Josh Bridgman: parking garage attendant am i playwright

It wasn’t exactly the Grand Canyon, but the 300-foot-deep rock chasm in Arizona seemed challenging enough to Cris Toomey a decade ago. The Burlington native, then a Prescott College junior majoring in outdoor and environmental education, was one of two “orienta tion leaders” guiding 10 fellow students on a required three-week “canyoneering” trip. “The ground was dry, but September is monsoon season in the desert,” recalls Toomey, now 31. “It had rained, so flash flooding was a possibility. As we descended along a small wash, half of our group stopped on a little ledge about a half-mile from the rim.” That’s when they heard what sounded like wind. “But we looked up and the trees weren’t moving,” Toomey explains. “We shouted, ‘Get up high!’ Everyone scrambled. Seconds later, a five-foot wall of water and debris came crashing down. We could’ve been killed.” For almost four hours, the torrent kept those escaping the ledge separated from the oth ers, who had taken shelter about 100 feet away. “We couldn’t cross until it subsided,” Toomey says. Although she now works in a less hazardous setting as the math curriculum coordinator for a Williston grade school, Toomey’s springtime vacation plans include canyoneering in Utah with 15 friends.

“The most ‘sports’ I usually do is chess,” says writer and actor Josh Bridgman, who prefers a rumpled overcoat to a sweatshirt any day. Though the 33-year-old bespectacled parking garage attendant has never played on a sports team, he fondly recalls a basket he made dur ing a basketball game in junior high. “Once, when I was in gym class in the seventh grade, I threw the ball and it went into the net.” Bridgman, who wasn’t even trying for a basket, scored from the right-hand comer of the floor. “I remember being very scared,” he says. “I was being chased... I was surround ed, too, by the opposing team. I just threw it. The hand of the gods took it and dropped it into the net. Everybody was surprised. They were like, ‘How did you do that, Josh?’ It was one of those, like, next-to-impossible things that happen. Kind of quantum, in a way. It ended up winning the game.” A customer at the Burlington City Parking Garage recendy handed Bridgman a free pass to a local gym. “I might try it,” he says, sounding skeptical. “But I might break my back or something.”

Arthur Kuinlit: retired internist and swim m er

Jennie Davis runs between three to six miles a few times a week. “But I’m not one o f those biking-hiking-craziness-all-the-time kind of people,” she insists. Last May she signed up as part of a relay team for the Burlington City Marathon. She planned on running five miles. But then her teammates started dropping out o f the relay. “One woman was sick, and one woman called me on the morning of the marathon and said, ‘I don’t feel like running.’” Davis decided to run anyway, and see how far she could go. Though she had never run more than eight miles at a time, Davis finished the entire 26.2mile race in four hours, 29 minutes. “I just felt like I could keep going,” she says. “All the people on the sidelines were cheering, and the people I met while I was running kept saying, ‘Come on, you can do it!”’ Davis says all the encouragement helped, but she isn’t sure what kept her going. “I have no idea how I ran it,” she says. “The funniest thing is that a friend of mine had been train ing from January on, and I came in 11 minutes after him.”

After running for about 30 years and competing in half-a-dozen marathons, Arthur Kunin found the cartilage in one of his knees deteriorating. “I had one of those fancy arthroscopic procedures,” the seventysomething retired M.D. relates. When the orthopedist warned him against hitting the pavement again, Kunin opted for a less punishing fitness regime. For the last year or so, about five days a week, the former med school prof has been swimming at the UVM pool. “It’s wonderful to slip into the water,” Kunin rhapsodizes. “It might be a little chilly at first, but it doesn’t matter what the stroke is: It’s just glorious. Your hands are in this warm fluid and you can feel yourself being propelled by your arms and your palms not forcefully, but very gracefully moving along.” He compares the solitary expe rience of swimming laps to being in a vast, Pre-Cambrian sea. Kunin’s specialty, nephrology, attracted him because he was fascinated by the problems of salt and water. “The kidneys are the most remarkable organ of homeostasis,” he explains. “Most dis eases are really a distortion of what ordinarily should be a constancy of the internal environment.” No wonder it’s been so easy for him to get in the swim o f his new fitness plan.

For about four years, Ken Picard worked outside o f Austin, Texas, as a park ranger on the lower Colorado River in an area known as Pace Bend Park: 1500 acres of limestone cliffs, sandy beaches, thorny mesquite trees, prickly pear cactus, white-tailed deer and drunk Texans. The park was a popular destination for water-sport enthusiasts, as well as Austin teenagers who tested their testicular fortitude by hurling themselves face-first off the cliffs to see who could survive the fall. As an Emergency Medical Technician, Ken was expected to mop up the sorry souls who lacked a self-preservation gene. “Among the few perks o f my otherwise tedious, low-paying job were the county’s training sessions, which were often as poindess as they were fun,” says Picard. “My most memorable class required that I suit up in fins, wetsuit, life vest and climbing harness, then climb aboard the skids of a helicopter and learn how to deploy into the lake. The exercise is known as a ‘10and-10,’ or leaping from 10 feet at an air speed of 10 knots. The odds that I would find myself in the county’s rescue helicopter suited up for such a task were about the same as if I put a bit in my mouth and won the Kentucky Derby. No matter. This was a hoot, so I played along.” Moving helicopters are mind-numbingly loud, so all commands involved hand signals. When his “commander” gave the thumbs-up, Picard unclipped his harness, turned outward, clutched the family jewels as directed by his instructor, and leapt. “Unfortunately, my com mander failed to inform the pilot that he was ready, so we all hit the water from a higher altitude at a faster speed. Ten feet and 10 knots it was not.” With the wind knocked out of him, he waited as the county Jet Ski approached to drag his limp frame to shore in a rescue basket. Then he got in line for another turn, which never came.

Years ago, Louise McCarren used to swim every day. “At 5:30 in the morning,” she says, “you have to remember to bring everything with you. One day — when I happened to have an important hearing — I reached into my bag and realized I had forgotten a blouse. I did have a yellow T-shirt, though. I put on the T-shirt, and the pearls, over a gray wool suit. But no one said anything about it. No one is going to say anything when you are chair of the Public Service Board.”

John McKone: Ski R ick sales associate and bike racer John McKone was part of a team in a multi-day race called the Cascade Cycling Classic. One “stage” was a 90-mile race that involved 8000 feet of climbing and multiple mountain sprints. “After the first two sprints,” he recalls, “we knew that we weren’t going to place in that stage. But still looming before us was a 25-mile climb up to the top of this mountain pass at 4000 feet.” McKone knew he was in for a tough day when he saw one pro get off his bike and run into the woods to get sick “I came around another turn and one of the elite climbers had his legs over his bike in cramps. I’ve never felt that bad — the tank was empty. I had tunnel vision, I was seeing spots, and I still had to finish an hour and a half o f climbing. I would have made a deal with the devil at that point to get off the bike.”

Freshman year at Middlebury, Don Eggert decided he was going to join crew. In high school he’d been mediocre in sports, and he’d heard that rowing was a good way to get buff. The only catch was that new members had to pass a swim test. The test took place on a weekend: two laps, any stroke, then 10 minutes o f treading water without touching the bottom. “It was just a formality,” Eggert says. “But I’ve never done laps. Ever. I did the first lap okay. The second lap I kind o f doggie-paddled. I’m sure I touched the bottom a few times. Then I had to tread water. I did it in the shallow end, and I kept cheating, touching the bottom when no one was looking. When the 10 minutes were over, I went over to the side o f the pool and tried to get out. I was aching all over. Going to the locker room, I was hunched over and almost crawling. I could hardly even lift my legs to change.” Finally, he stumbled out onto the college green. He could see the health office in the dis tance, and knew that he had to make his way there. “I took five steps, fell to my knees and threw up all over the green.” An older student who came to help assumed he’d been drink ing, Eggert says. “I felt compelled to tell him the truth: that I was a crew-loser who couldn’t handle a swim test. I ended up never doing any sports in college.” (?)

Post Holiday Blues Sometimes people can feel “let down” after the Holidays are over. They may feel exhausted by the amount of energy they put into the Holidays. They may feel financial stress when the bills begin to come in, or they may feel disappointed that the Holidays weren’t quite what they had hoped. It’s important to remember that this “let down” feeling should be temporary and pass once a regular routine is reeestablished.

alph Stuart is a detective o f sorts, but he’s no private eye. Private nose is more like it. For the last 15 years, Stuart has been the environmental safety manager at the University o f Vermont. When there’s something wrong with the air inside a campus building — usually a foul odor no STORY one can explain — he’s the one they call in KEN to sniff it out. And with about 120 build PICARD ings on campus o f varying ages, designs, uses and states o f repair, Stuart fields these I MAGE JORDAN kinds o f calls at least once a week. Most o f the time the problem is easy to SILVERMAN track down. Often it’s a chemical in one of the university’s 500 laboratories that isn’t properly ventilating out o f the building, or a janitorial crew has started using a new disinfectant or floor cleaner. Occasion ally, a mouse dies behind a wall and has to be removed. But every now and then the complaints are more serious and persistent than just a nasty smell. Sometimes a building is liter ally making its occupants sick. Those problems can take months, if not years, to figure out, if they’re even nailed down at all. In rare instances, Stuart, a certified industrial hygienist, can diagnose a build ing as “sick.” Stuart’s first case o f this kind occurred in Votey Hall after a 1988 fire caused extensive smoke damage throughout the building. When employees returned fol lowing the cleanup, Stuart began receiving numerous complaints, from lingering smoke odors to headaches, nausea and watery eyes. When it was discovered that diesel fumes were migrating into the building from a neighboring construction site, Stuart thought the problem had been solved. But months later many o f the build ing’s occupants were still complaining o f eye and skin irritation. “Every building has its own history that you have to unravel in order to understand where the air is moving and where the problems might be coming from,” he says. “It’s a full-scale investigation.” When test after test could not identify a chemical contaminant in the air, outside experts were brought in. Nearly three years later they finally tracked down the problem: Fiberglass used to dampen the

noise o f the ventilation system had been disturbed during the post-fire cleanup. It had flaked off, become airborne and spread throughout the building through the air vents. As people worked in their offices, the fiberglass transferred from their desks to their hands and faces and irritated their eyes. Eventually the building was thoroughly vacuumed and the prob lem corrected.

"Sick building syndrome" refers to a host o f health symptoms that afflict a sig nificant percentage o f a building’s occu pants but diminish or go away when the people leave the premises. Sick building syndrome was first identified during the energy crunch o f the 1970s, when many employers began reducing the amount of fresh air flowing into their office buildings in order to trim heating and cooling bills. It was also around this time that builders began constructing more airtight and cli mate-controlled offices, with windows that didn’t open. Not until years later did they realize these supposed “cost-saving” meas ures were in fact creating more expensive problems for the building’s workers. Oftentimes the reasons behind sick building syndrome are never entirely uncovered and are complicated by several unrelated factors. The most common cul prit is an inadequate or overworked venti lation system that is not drawing in enough fresh outside air. According to Bob McLeod, director o f the Vermont Occupational Safety and Health Admin istration, the federal limit for indoor car bon dioxide is 10,000 parts per million (PPM), but at about 1200 to 1500 PPM people will begin complaining o f head aches, lethargy, dry throats and “stale” air. The problem tends to be more acute in the winter, when Americans spend as much as 90 percent o f their time indoors. Sometimes the problem comes from a ventilation duct that is inadvertently suck ing in outdoor pollutants like carbon monoxide, which can cause headaches, nausea, lethargy or impaired vision. After construction or a renovation project, new materials like adhesives, sealants, carpeting and upholstery can emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can cause

SEVENDAYS I ja n u a ry 15-22, 2003 I f e a tu r e 25A

headaches, eye or respiratory irritation, even nervous system disorders, as well as other long-term health consequences. Other indoor pollutants can include biological contami nants like mold, bacteria, pollen, or insect or bird droppings, which can accumulate in air ducts and result in a host o f respiratory prob lems, allergic reactions, eye and nose irrita tions, or influenza and more serious illnesses. How widespread is the problem today? Although sick building syndrome itself is rela tively uncommon — the more frequent diag nosis is “building-related illness,” which can be traced to a single cause — both represent the extreme of indoor air quality issues that afflict

working in one particular part o f a building. Consider another case Stuart investigated at UVM several years ago, in the Waterman Building. Four employees who all worked in the same room were experiencing acute health problems, such as rashes, flushing of the skin and headaches, whenever they entered their office. Oddly, no one else in the building was experiencing those problems and when the employees left the room, their symptoms subsided. So Stuart began ruling out the usual suspects, running all the tests he could think of, with no success. He even brought in nationally recognized indoor airquality specialists from Harvard University

Currently, more than 80,000 chem icals are in commercial use in the United States, most of which have never been tested for their effects on human health. many American workplaces. In the last decade, buildings across the country have been diag nosed as sick, including the Chittenden Bank Building in Montpelier several years ago and even an office building occupied by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Washington, D.C., both o f which have since been cleaned up. Today, the EPA ranks poor indoor air quality among the top five environmental risks to human health. Nevertheless, the fed eral government has yet to set mandatory standards for indoor air quality in office buildings the way it has for chemicals used on industrial and manufacturing worksites. Moreover, employers can be reluctant to dis cuss these problems with their employees, fearing negative press and the potential for lengthy and costly lawsuits. Sometimes, the problem is not widespread and affects only a small number o f people

with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment. Still no luck. Next, they replaced the carpeting and ceil ing in the room, repainted the walls and installed all new work surfaces. Eventually the employees themselves discovered that their symptoms got worse whenever someone brought carbonless copy paper into the room. Although the problem has been stable for about two years now, Stuart admits that a definitive solution was never found. Diagnosing a problem is made more diffi cult by the ever-increasing stew o f toxic con taminants that find their way into our indoor environment, which the EPA estimates can be from two to 100 times more polluted than outdoor air. Currently, more than 80,000 chemicals are in commercial use in the United States, most o f which have never been tested for their effects on human health. Amazingly, federal law requires no pre-market health tests

or approval process for most o f the chemicals found in a typical office building. O f the 15,000 or so chemicals that have been tested, few have been studied extensively enough to assess their potential health risks, especially their combined or cumulative effects. „ Are people just becoming more sensitive these days to the implications o f that new office smell? In a sense, yes. The National Academy o f Sciences now estimates that 15 percent o f Americans are unusually sensitive to common chemicals found in their homes and offices. Diagnoses o f Multiple Chemical Sensitivity have grown so much in the last decade that its now recognized as a disability under the Americans With Disabilities Act. In recent years, many architects and builders have begun to sit up and take notice o f how their materials and designs are affect ing peoples health and comfort. The socalled “green building” movement has spurred a host o f healthier construction prac tices that take a more proactive and holistic approach to creating healthy working and liv ing environments. Green building practices consider all phases o f a buildings life cycle, from using materials that are less toxic to manufacture to those that conserve water and energy, to considering how materials will eventually be recycled or disposed of. Health facilities like hospitals and clinics in particu lar are becoming more aware o f the myriad toxic materials present in their buildings and o f how creating a greener environment can speed their patients’ recovery, especially those with compromised immune systems. Similarly, a group called Building For Social Responsibility has spent the last two years developing a green building rating sys tem called Vermont Build Green, whose aim is to promote sustainable building practices in homes. The standards they’ve adopted are similar to commercial space standard, called LEED — Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design — which were used in such buildings as Middlebury College’s Bicenten nial Hall and the Vermont Law School. Ultimately, what will also make for health ier indoor spaces is the occupants’ willingness to call attention to problems when they arise. “The motivation is supplied by our employ ees,” says Stuart. “When they’re uncomfort able enough, they make sure you are, too.” ®

DREAM W ORKS In 1984, Trent Lott called the Martin Luther King, Jr. national holiday "basically wrong." Though his record of racism cost Lott his Senate leadership post, within days, George Bush nominated segregationist judge Charles Pickering for a federal bench. What would Martin do? The inspiring activist, who would have been 74 Wednesday, might have preached persever ance — "We refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt" — tempered by non violence — "Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitter ness and hatred." Vermonters honor King's legacy with music, film, talks and a candlelight ceremony confirming an on going commitment to "lift our nation from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood."

Bootleggers and border agents, mob sters and moonshiners were all characters on the Green Mountain scene during the "noble experiment" known as Prohibition. Like most border states during the Roaring '20s, Vermont had its share of smugglers and gangsters roaming the back roads and waterways. These days, first-hand accounts of the time are hard to find. Fortunately for area history buffs, Northeast Kingdom writer Scott Wheeler rounded up more than two dozen witnesses — threequarters of whom have since passed away — for his folksy Rumrunners & Revenuers: Prohibition in Vermont. "It's a shame nobody else did this 15 years ago," says Wheeler. "All I did was pick up the pieces of this dying generation."

Thirty years after the Supreme Court recognized a woman's constitutional right to have an abortion, the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling granting reproductive freedom is now in a precarious position. While anti-abortion legislation has been chipping away at women's options for years, the recent Republican takeover could spell disaster for champions of choice. Like-minded Vermonters bring an added sense of urgency to this year's celebration. Mark the milestone by speaking out at a press conference, checking out a documentary flick about the realities of illegal abortions or gettin' down to some local sounds. It may be a hard "roe" to hoe, but a little bit of fun is still allowed.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, This is an appropriate question for Randy Cohen, ethics columnist for The New York Times, but I probably stand a better chance of getting an answer from you. My ethi cal dilemma is this: A good friend of mine seems to be getting involved with a woman whom I happen to know had a history of infidelity to her soon-to-be ex-hus band. I'd really hate to see my friend get hurt in the same way, but I don't know if it's my place to warn him about her. I mean, maybe she wouldn't be unfaithful to him, who knows? What do you think I should do? Baffled in Burlington Dear Baffled, Has your friend asked for your advice? Is the woman in question an ax-murderer? I assume from your letter that the answer to both these questions is no. Your concern for your friend is commendable. But you don't know what was going on inside the marriage that's now end ing or if, as you suggest, her behavior in that relation ship will carry over into this one. Don't lie to him if he asks. But poisoning the water at this point could need lessly undermine a perfectly good thing. Love, Lola
