I f they can build an interna tional space station with a price tag that ju s t skyrocketed to $100 billion, why can’t they....? Cure the common cold? — Andre Larocque co-owner, Murphy's
GUILT BY ASSOCIATION Steve Young, who recently resigned as VPR’s news director, may vehemently object to Peter Freynes calling him a “right-wing journalist” [Inside Track, March 14], but it is easy to impute guilt by association. The most casual VPR listener must have been struck by the strong right-wing editorial bias at the station with a steady diet of ideologues like John McLaughry, JeffWennberg and, of course, Libby Sternberg herself. This editorial bias is no accident but follows up the food chain from station manager to members of the VPR board... Whether or not he’s a right winger, how can Steve Young think Ruth Dwyer was “a typical conservative Republican?” When you ask the typical conservative Republican about their most important hero, they don’t usually say Robert E. Lee like Dwyer did. The typical Vermont Republican does not believe, as does Dwyer, that the Civil War was a war of aggression by the evil, industrial ized North against the innocent, rural South. The typical Vermont Republican just isn’t that stupid.

Sex, Lies and the Jesus, Mary and St. Joseph! Don’t you just hate it when the religious holier-than-thou crowd gets into a seamy public brawl? When the gang that’s always quoting its favorite scripture passage to con demn the behavior of others suddenly starts sling ing the sacred mud balls at each other? Last summer, JsmiBl Terry, 21-year-old son of the infamous God Squad activist, Randall Terry, proudly sat before the TV cameras with the leader of Vermont’s political God Squad, Rep. Nancy Sheltra (R-Derby). Sister Nancy announced the for mation of her very own political action committee — Standing Together And Reclaiming the State (STARS). The Holy Homophobic Crusade was on! “I believe the cry of the peo ple of the state of Vermont,” said our favorite Derby divorcee, “is to bring the state back to some sort of moral sanity.” Sister Nancy was referring to Vermont’s proud step forward on the pathway of human rights — the passage of legislation allowing committed gay couples to form legal civil unions. Sheltra and Terry said they hoped to raise over $50,000 to pay themselves and fund up to 30 House candi dates who would pledge to repeal the Devil’s work, impeach all five B Y P E T E Vermont Supreme Court justices and make abortion a crime in Vermont. Cool. Randall Terry, you may recall, moved to Montpelier last year, lobbied lawmakers and ran his anti-gay marriage media campaign out of a State Street storefront. But as soon as the Legislature passed civil unions, Randall blew town in a disgust ed cloud of dust. This week, however, some rather seamy charges surfaced in the paradise of Vermont’s Religious Right. You see, Mrs. Sheltra is no longer on speak ing terms with either Jamiel Terry or his old man. And Jamiel has gone public with charges that Sister Nancy not only welshed on their financial deal, but lusted in her heart for his famous father. He claims Sister Nancy boasted to him of her ability to “seduce” the elder Terry “if she had wanted to.” Six days after the November election, Jamiel Terry filed a complaint with the Vermont Department of Labor and Industry alleging Sheltra had failed to pay him his $1250-a-month salary, plus 25 percent of any money he raised, as they’d agreed. Terry the Younger claimed Sheltra told him he’d been “paid for what he was worth and that since he came from a wealthy family, she didn’t need to pay him.” < Mr. Terry said he had been able to squeeze just $2200 out of Sister Nancy over the six months he worked for STARS. You do the math. When he asked for his promised cut, he said Sheltra accused him and his famous father of being “gold diggers.” My, oh my. Is that in the Bible? And it gets worse. Better sit down for the rest. Jamiel Terry claims his problems getting paid were related to Sister Nancy’s strong “romantic interest” in his dad. Papa Terry was going through a well-publicized divorce at the time. Jamiel told the state investigator Nancy sent his father flowers and wrote him poems. Jamiel also told the investigator Sister Nancy “telephoned Randall Terry so often that he eventually asked her to stop calling him.” On one occasion, he said, Rep. Sheltra called his father at 1 a.m. at their Binghamton, New York home, “crying” and claiming she had just heard the star of the anti-abortion movement had “commit ted adultery.” “All true,” said a calm and composed Jamiel Terry of his charges in an exclusive Seven Days interview Tuesday. Also true, he said, was the fact he had to eventually contact Sister Nancy’s pastor in Derby to get her to back off from his old man. Sheltra denies it all. She told Seven Days Terry’s
charges “are not true.” Sister Nancy said she had . “never been involved” with Randall Terry — only “worked” with him. “There was no romantic involvement between Randall Terry and myself,” said the Derby divorcee. “I’m a Christian woman and I answer to the Bible.” She said Jamiel’s claims were “fabricated.” Sheltra also shared with Seven Days what she believes to be the motivation for Terry’s attack on her. Referring to the current marital status of the famous anti-abortion crusader, Sheltra said Jamiel had been “let down by his dad because of the divorce.” She also noted Jamiel is “an adopted child.” Told of Sheltra’s remarks, Jamiel Terry told Seven Days Nancy “is only hurting herself.” Yes, he said, he is adopted, “but it has nothing to do with this. I’m not a vindictive or revenge ful type person,” he said. According to Terry the Younger, when he and Sheltra got into arguments, the law maker from Derby would tell him, “You’re upset with your parents’ divorce.” Some of their “biggest arguments,” he said, “were about my parents’ divorce.” The more time he spent with Sheltra, herself a divorcee, he said, the “more depressed” he got. Jamiel Terry is currently working in a Binghamton cof fee “beanery.” His famous father is planning a June wed ding in the Big Apple. But R F R E Y N E Randall’s righteous Web site is currently down, and he’s lost his syndicated Christian Broadcasting radio show. Asked if he’s going to make a comeback, the elder Terry replied, “I sure am.” When we mentioned the name of “Nancy Sheltra,” Randy Randall quickly shifted gears and broke off the conversation. “Look, I’ve got to go,” he said, “I’m in a meeting.” In the end, Sister Nancy prevailed. The state denied Jamiel’s wage claim and advised him to seek relief in the courts. That’s unlikely Terry told us he just wants to get on with his life. Rep. Sheltra sluffed it all off. And the high priestess of Vermont’s Statehouse Taliban told us she still expects a House floor vote this session on repealing civil unions even though it’ll go nowhere in the Senate. Get everyone on the record, we fig ure, so that when the time comes, the religious fanatics will know who to send to the reeducation camps. In closing, Sister Nancy asked if we minded if she prayed for us? Aw, shucks, what a sweetheart. Praise the Lord and pass the “God Hates Fags” literature!

Inside Track
Statehouse Secrecy Update — Gov. Howard Dean said House Speaker Walt Freed’S decision to
retreat slightly from his autocratic and anti-First Amendment ban on public picture-taking in the House chamber was “a step in the right direction.” Maybe if our favorite Dorset millionaire would meditate a little on the meaning of “open govern ment,” it might help him see the light. Don’t expect it to happen soon, however. Seven Days has learned that the House GOP caucus is continuing the sleazy practice of holding biweekly, closed-door caucuses outside the Statehouse. Last Wednesday night, House Republicans met at the Hillside Restaurant. Majority Leader John Labarge told Seven Days “it’s not illegal.” The GOP Caucus, heavily influ enced by its new crop of freshman right-wing backlashers, obviously doesn’t want the press and public to hear what they really think. Perfectly understandable. Given their public performance, what they say in private is something no decent Vermonter would want to hear. Just last week, the Republican Taliban dug in its heels to block a “radical” amendment offered by Rep. Steve

Some of us are just ahead of the times.”
Matchett said, adding that as a result, the books “are not in ter rific shape;”
When a man claiming to be a supporter of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein hijacked a Yemen Airways plane, pilot Amer Anis immediately realized the hijacker did not speak English. Anis then began giving instruc tions in English to the copilot and flight engineer, telling them that as soon as the plane landed at Djibouti airport, they should open the emergency doors and evacuate the 91 passengers, start ing with the U.S. ambassador to Yemen, Barbara Bodine. Anis told Reuters news agency that the hijacker was furious when he opened the cockpit door and saw the plane was empty. He waved a miniature pistol and threatened to shoot the crew, but one crewmember grabbed a fire extin guisher and fired foam in the hijacker’s face while another wrestled him down.

Better Safe Than Sorry After falling from a truck in 1986, Herbert Scott of Crawshawbooth, England, was taken to Burnley General Hospital, where doctors suspect ed a broken neck and gave him a neck brace to wear. Now 74, Scott said that whenever he went to the Crawshawbooth Clinic for follow-up visits, he was told to continue wearing the brace for a few more weeks. This February, he saw a visiting doctor, who told him he should have worn it for only four weeks, not 14 years. Scott said he is considering legal action.

After a two-car accident in Aizuwakamatsu, Japan, the driver of a station wagon and her 7year-old daughter, who was rid ing in the passenger’s seat, were taken to the hospital with mild head injuries. Their wrecked car was towed to a junkyard. Six hours later, the driver’s relatives came to pick up some belongings that had been left in the vehicle and found the body of a 66-yearold friend of the driver’s, who had died in the collision. Investigators told the Mainichi Shimbun newspaper they could not explain how the four police officers and three paramedics on the scene failed to notice the

Test of Faith The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston told the family of Jenny Richardson that the girl cannot substitute a rice communion wafer for the tradi tional wheat one, even though she suffers from celiac disease, which causes her to get sick from eating gluten, a protein in wheat. “I believe Jesus would have made an exception,” Janice Richardson, the girl’s mother, said, explaining that as a result of the decision the family now worships at a Methodist church.
Dangers from Above A 200-pound refueling hose fell off an Air Force Reserve plane and crashed through the roof of a house on an Indian reservation near Warm Springs, Oregon. The house was empty at the time. • A German jet fighter on a rou tine training mission accidentally opened fire on a Dutch military flight tower on the North Sea island of Vlieland. Three people inside the tower escaped injury when it was hit by seven 27-mil limeter rounds from the fighter’s wing cannons. ®

K e e p th e P la n e t L o v e C o m iftg ... By Paula Routly
BADA BING BANG: It took a great performance by Ariel K iley to earn “The Sopranos” a bad rap last week in the New York Post. The daughter of Vermont actress Grace K iley got her big break playing Tracee, a 20-year-old stripper and single mom who is beaten to death by misogynist mobster Ralphie Cifaretto. Thankfully, the young Kiley got to show her stuff before she got the stuffing knocked out of her. Her tragic portrayal of a hapless prostitute was “acted remarkably,” according to the Post, in what columnist Adam Buckman describes as “an especially ugly episode.” Lamenting an escalating level of violence on the hit show, Buckman suggests no prior bloodshed has “compared to the sight of Ralphie laying into Tracee like she was a human punching bag.” Her mom had a similar reaction: “When they were beating her up, I kept saying, ‘This isn’t real. This isn’t real.’ So I could get through it.” Although the young actress is unlikely to appear again on “The Sopranos” this season, another Vermonter showed up in the credits of the most recent episode. “Second Opinion,” which aired Sunday night, was written by Law rence Konner, a former Burlingtonian who once made a liv ing selling sandwiches door to door at the University of Vermont. He relocated to Hollywood, where he collaborated on screenplays for a slew of bad movies, including Superman 4, The Beverly Hillbillies and Desperate Hours. He even produced a documentary, about homelessness, that showed up in the Vermont International Film Festival. Rumor has it Konner’s been chosen to write the final episode of the season with “Sopranos” creator David Chase. WILD CARD: U.S. Senator Jim Jeffords is making waves in
Washington, and the ripples reached all the way to a radio station in Winooski last week. WKDR talk show host M 3 r k Johnson got a call from the White House, offering an eight-minute interview with chief of staff Andrew Card. “I think I got 15 minutes out of him,” Johnson says of the Wednesday exchange, during which the two dis cussed the tax cut proposed by President Bush. Jeffords stands — res olutely— in the Shrub’s way. “If Jeffords continues to be a critical |j vote, it might be helpful in getting important people in Washington on my program, and I’m happy about that — even if the senator is unwilling to appear,” says Johnson. Every little bit helps when you are losing the biggest mouth in the business. By the first of June, Rush Limbaugh will no longer be heard afternoons on 1390 AM. Clear Channel Communications, the megacorporation that owns distribution rights to his show, will be moving Limbaugh to its new talk station, “The Zone,” at 96.7 FM and 960 AM. That leaves a three-hour hole between noon and 3 p.m. on WKDR. Owner Ken Squier sums it up, “Just when we thought we had all the cats in the bag, one got out.”

By M ark B u s h n ell wo things you should know from the start about Paul Bruhn. First, he hates the idea of this article. He says he doesn’t merit the attention, his accom plishments aren’t that great and he isn’t one of the most influential people in Vermont. Second, you should know he is wrong. Bruhn is executive director of the Preservation Trust of Vermont. This might conjure images of single-minded do-gooders trying to save old buildings that have long outlived their usefulness. In fact, the Preservation Trust does participate in traditional historic-preservation proj ects, and over the last six years has raised and distributed more than $5 million to restore significant buildings in nearly 150 Vermont communities. But it is the organiza tion’s ability to find unorthodox solutions to problems that has made the trust a national leader in the preserva tion movement. “Indirectly our work is about saving buildings,” Bruhn explains, “but it’s really about making downtown a vibrant place, which will end up saving buildings.” As Megan Camp, vice president of the Preservation Trust and of Shelburne Farms, a historic farm and envi ronmental education center, puts it. “Paul does not have an edifice complex.” Bruhn doesn’t focus so much on saving old buildings as he does on maintaining Vermont’s traditional settle ment patterns of compact villages surrounded by open land. To protect the state from the homogenizing effect of modern American culture and suburban sprawl, he and the Preservation Trust have taken innovative approaches to problems: • When Wal-Mart wanted to open its first store in Vermont, the Preservation Trust surprised many by throwing its considerable weight behind the mass retailer, provided it agreed to locate in a downtown. That way, the Preservation Trust reasoned, Wal-Mart would attract busi ness to a community’s core. • Alarmed by the decline of small, mom-and-pop stores, the Preservation Trust started a “Smart-Mart” initiative to support locally owned downtown stores that provide such basics as clothing, food and hardware at a reasonable cost. • In an effort to contribute to more small community projects, Bruhn and company arranged with The Burlington Free Press to sponsor a contest. The paper received 250 applications from 150 communities and

donated $150,000 in small grants to 60 of them for such projects as rehabilitating a public building and landscap ing a town green. • Last month, the Preservation Trust struck a deal with the Brattleboro Arts Initiative to try to buy the down town Latchis Hotel, an Art Deco landmark, and three connected theaters. If successful, the Preservation Trust will run the hotel while the arts group offers movies and occasional plays in the theaters. W hat do these projects have in common? They all work toward making communities more vital, and none would have happened without Bruhn’s creativity and per suasive powers. Paul Bruhn has been described as the most influential person in the state whom most people have never heard of. He doesn’t mind the anonymity. In fact, he rather craves it. But the right people know him. “People from the governor on down answer the phone for Paul,” says Pat Robins, a prominent Chittenden County business man and a friend of Bruhn’s for more than 25 years. But Bruhn is not just interested in conferring with politicians who would support his endeavors and the directors of foundations who might finance them; he is also well-connected with grassroots advocates. At a working lunch earlier this winter at a restaurant in downtown Middlebury, he excuses himself several times to talk on his cell phone or to speak with local community leaders who happen to wander in. His col leagues, the Preservation Trust’s two field representatives and an architect, roll their eyes and laugh, as if to suggest these interruptions are standard operating procedure for Bruhn. “He is the quintessential networker,” says Gerrit Kouwenhoven, president of the Preservation Trust’s board of directors and executive director of Friends of Hildene, the Robert Todd Lincoln mansion in Manchester. “He is more knowledgeable about what’s going on in every nook and cranny in this state than anyone I know.” Ask Bruhn the names of people sparking change in local communities and he’ll mention Gerianne Smart, who has led efforts to rehabilitate the Vergennes Opera House; or Eugene Reed, a building trades teacher in Canaan who is teaching students to restore old buildings, starting with the town library; or Sherry Belknap, a Bloomfield Select Board member who fell in love with the old town hall and is helping convert it into a commu nity center.
“His interests are seemingly eclectic,” says Chuck Ross, state director for U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, “but they come together. They are about conserving an<£ ing the specialness of Vermont, while allowing it to grow and change.”
rowth and change have swept over the state in the years since Bruhn was a boy growing up in Burlington. W hen his family drove from its home on Shelburne Road to the family summer camp on Shelburne Bay, he remembers, “there was not much going on all the way down.” No stoplights, few cars and occa sional stretches of open land. Bruhn has since converted the camp to a year-round home, where he lives with his partner, Christine Graham. The house might be familiar to Bruhn, but getting there has sure changed. Shelburne Road is strangled by devel opment. Giving directions to the house today, he’ll tell you to turn at the Jiffy Lube and the Chevy dealer. After graduating from Burlington High School in 1965, Bruhn studied at Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey and at the University of Vermont. But acade mia couldn’t hold his attention. “I learned in a different way than most people,” Bruhn says. “I didn’t find college very stimulating and I wasn’t very good at it.” After a little more than two years, he found himself selling ads and later writing for the Suburban List in Essex Junction, a weekly newspaper that covered town news in Chittenden County and parts of Washington County. In 1969, with financial backing from Suburban List owners Ruth and Proctor Page, he launched Chittenden Magazine,, serving as its editor and publisher. The under taking was ambitious. The magazine’s mission was to take a more in-depth look than other media at the political and community issues confronting the greater Burlington area. “Frankly, at that point the magazine was my college education,” says Bruhn, who never returned to college. In those days, Ruth Page recalls, Bruhn showed the same work habits he has today. “Whatever he did, he did neck-deep,” she says. “He was able to persuade people to do things for him for very little money. He was a very persuasive fellow.” At first, Bruhn split his time between the newspaper and the magazine. But soon the demands of Chittenden Magazine forced him to work full time on it. There, he worked with writers, sold ads, helped with design and

dealt with circulation issues. As publisher and a writer, Bruhn kept the magazine focused on the city concerns of the day, such as downtown redevelopment, affordable housing and the rehabilitation of existing buildings — issiids tM'f toddy are at the heart o f historic preservation, he notes. Despite his hard work, the magazine kept losing money. “It was a good idea from an editorial point of view,” Bruhn says, “but not necessarily from a business point of view.” Still, Bruhn believed in it. To keep the magazine afloat, he took out a second mortgage on his home. But in 1973, he ran out of money and had to shut down the publication. Looking for work, Bruhn turned to his friend Patrick Leahy, who was then states attorney for Chittenden County. Leahy needed a consumer-fraud investigator and picked Bruhn for the job. The decision would serve both men well, A year later, Leahy tapped Bruhn to manage his first bid for statewide office. Most people considered Leahy a long shot to beat then-U.S. Rep. Richard Mallary for a seat in the U.S. Senate. But Bruhn and Leahy managed to engineer an upset, winning by a few thousand votes. When Leahy left for Washington in the winter of 1975, he took Bruhn with him as his chief of staff. Bruhn thought he’d stay in the job for two years. But it proved fun enough that he stuck around for four. “It was a remarkable education,” he says, running a hand through his sandy-brown and graying hair. Most of all, working with Leahy taught him that he should be working full-time on historic preservation. Leahy strived to become a leader in gaining federal fund ing for preservation projects, which meant Bruhn often immersed himself in the subject. Indeed, Bruhn helped secure some federal funding for Burlington’s Church Street Marketplace, converting the city’s main shopping street into a pedestrian mall. When he returned to Vermont, Bruhn worked as a consultant helping to pass the local bond issue for the marketplace. He also worked with the Richmond Historical Society, raising money to restore that town’s famous Round Church. His fundraising and organizational talents were recog nized by a group with the unwieldy name of the Vermont Council of the Society for the Protection of New England Antiquities, which was creating a separate Vermont-based preservation organization. Thus was born the
Preservation Trust of Vermont with Bruhn as its first, and still only, director. He explains his hiring this way: “I was available and wasn’t too expensive, so I was hired.”
"People from the governor on down answ er the phone fo r Paul." — businessm an Pat Robins atching Bruhn work makes you feel like a slacker in comparison. His main tools are his telephone and his deep, reassuring voice. He works without a Rolodex, relying on an uncanny ability to remember numbers. In five minutes before a meeting, Bruhn knocks off an equal number of phone calls. His tone is friendly, but businesslike. He cuts to the chase. As he talks, telephone wedged between ear and shoulder, he shambles out of the room to hand his assistant some paperwork. The Preservation Trust occupies several rooms on the third floor of a Church Street building in Burlington. Coincidentally, it is upstairs from where Bruhn’s parents ran an office-supply store when he was growing up. His office is sparsely furnished/ with bookcases lining one wall and a simple floral couch pushed up against the other. At the far side is Bruhn’s desk, strewn with proper ty maps and paper cups to hold the tea he always seems to be drinking. A row of windows affords a view of Church Street below. Bruhn returns to his office, giving out his cell-phone number before hanging up. He grabs his briefcase and
W
some papers and heads for the door. His assistant, Lynn Waller, asks if he’ll be in the next day, a Friday, and Bruhn replies that he’s not sure since he has a long meet ing in Rutland planned. “I will be in Saturday,” he tells her. “Saturday is my catch-up day.” * * ' !l No time seems off-limits to work. Indeed, there seems to be a semi-permeable membrane between his work and personal life. His friends are colleagues and his colleagues are friends. Dinner out can be a work meeting. And when he has free time at home, he often catches up on his reading and e-mail for work. Bruhns career “is almost like a combination of work and entertainment,” says Chuck Ross, the Leahy aide. By instilling this a similar sense of commitment in others, Bruhn has enabled the Preservation Trust and its tiny staff to take on a prodigious workload. In addition to Bruhn and Waller, who works part-time, the Preservation Trust employs two half-time field representa tives, Ann Cousins and Steve Libby, who meet with com munity groups around the state. Robins is amazed the Preservation Trust gets so much done with so little. But one way Bruhn works on the cheap is by consulting with a group of expert, and unpaid, advisers — especially members of his board. “He is running more than $2 million a year through that place,” Robins says. “It’s a model for nonprofits. Most people running a $2 million budget might have 10 or 12 people ‘to administer it.’” For Bruhn, it means constant juggling. Robins remembers how he used to arrive for dinner with notes scrawled on his pack of cigarettes, reminders of the work topics he wanted to cover. But 13 years ago, Bruhn had heart bypass surgery at the age of 41 and quit smoking. Bruhn and Robins still have dinner about once a week, but the cigarettes and their helpful reminders are gone. “Thank God you don’t smoke anymore,” Robins remem bers kidding him. “Now we don’t have to talk about that stuff.” Still, Bruhn gives advice as good as he gets. T hat’s part of the Preservation Trust’s mission. In addition to giving grants, which range from $2000 to the tens of thousands, the Preservation Trust offers technical advice. Bruhn and the field representatives may suggest a preservation archi tect or contractor, or a foundation that might provide more money. The Preservation Trust intends its grants as seed money that covers a project s initial expenses and lends it legitimacy to attract more donations.

“ ...C hin ese tonight?” “ Pizza?”
“ Something romantic.” “ Mel Gibson?”
“On average, our grants get leveraged by about 10 times [the initial amount],” Cousins says. The Preservation Trust gets its money from various sources, and this is where Bruhn’s personal relationships and networking skills come in. Since 1994, for example, he has worked with Graeme Freeman of the Freeman Foundation in Stowe to fund preservation grants to Vermont groups. The foundation donates between $750,000 and $1 mil lion a year to the program. Those grants have gone to reno \ \ vate such landmarks as the Park_ McCullough House in North . Bennington, the Paramount Theatre in Rutland and the Statehouse in Montpelier. They’ve also gone to lower-profile projects, such as the Bentley Farm in Arlington, the Langevin House in Randolph and a church in Woodbury. In 1995, Bruhn met with Lyman Orton, owner of the Vermont Country Store, who' was looking for a way to commemo rate the 50 th anniversary of his business. Together, they came up with The Local Storekeeper Award, which each year gives $4000 prizes to five locally owned neighborhood stores that are serving their com munities well. Bruhn also struck an innova tive deal when Bob and Cindy Hoehl approached the Trust, wanting to donate a valuable property on Grand Isle — a for mer hotel and later a Catholic girls camp. “That was a project that was way, way, way over my head,” Bruhn says. So he built a team of six or seven board members plus several consultants to structure the com plicated deal. The trust took con trol of the property, now named the Grand Isle Lake House, and its 55 acres, which include a halfmile of Lake Champlain shore-
line. Since the property is too much for the trust to manage on a daily basis, Bruhn arranged for Burlington businesswoman Bev Watson, who owns the Willard Street Inn, Lang House and Isabel’s restaurant, to run the place. The trust now rents the house for business meetings and special events and charges a lower rate for nonprofit groups. The arrangement is vintage Bruhn: He always seems to be getting others to buy into his ideas. Cousins has heard him likened to a cowbird, which is known for laying its eggs in other birds’ nests so those birds raise and nurture their young.

was the Preservation Trust’s first bene factor and a longtime board member. When Sincerbeaux died last December,' Bruhn said in his eulogy, “When he provided funds to help some local group, he always said that it was he who was tak ing advantage ol their passion and .commitment. Bob provided a little money from the founda tions he man aged and a lot of encouragement, and then he watched the remarkable progress.”
T ile Bruhn is good at handing off some of his projects, he has been directly involved in some of the Preservation Trust’s bigger efforts, like pushing Wal-Mart to locate its stores downtown. His experience with the retail giant began in July 1994 when he was a guest on Vermont Public Radio’s Switchboard program, a call-in show. Appearing with Bruhn by telephone from Arkansas was Don Shinkle, WalM art’s vice president for commu nity affairs. ' ■ Wal-Mart was then trying to locate its first store in Vermont, which at the time was the only state that didn’t have one. The retailer had proposed mega-stores for sprawl developments outside
Wi
Williston and St. Albans and was facing fierce permit fights. “I think he was expecting an opponent on the other end of the line,” Bruhn says. “I tried to make the case that we are not opposed to Wal-Mart, any more than we are now opposed to Home Depot in Rutland. It is really just a question of location and scale.” After the show, Bruhn and Shinkle talked for 45 minutes and agreed to tour the state together. Several weeks after the tour, Wal-Mart announced its plans for the state, which proved to be a partial victory for Bruhn. The Arkansas-based corporation agreed to occupy an existing building a short distance from Bennington’s downtown and to locate in the center of Rutland, but it would continue to seek permits for the Williston and St. Albans stores. If the Williston store were defeated, then WalMart would consider a down town Burlington site, a company executive told Bruhn. Wal-Mart eventually won a permit for a store in Williston. But, with funding and technical support from the trust, a local community group and the Vermont Natural Resources Council defeated the store planned for St. Albans. Despite the mixed results in dealing with Wal-Mart, Bruhn believes compromise and negoti ation were the right approach. “I think if wed been saying we absolutely oppose Wal-Mart in Vermont, we would have gotten nowhere,” he says. In fact, Bruhn thinks WalMart has had some good effects. For example, it has played a role in making Rutland what he calls “as complete a downtown as we have in Vermont right now.” He says the city has the right mix: offices, locally owned stores, movie theaters, civic and reli gious buildings, the Paramount Theatre and, yes, Wal-Mart. In contrast, Bruhn says, Burlington is too geared toward tourists and entertainment and not enough toward the basic needs of resi dents. Not surprisingly, he also worries about the effects of sprawling development on the Burlington area, and whether the planned Circumferential Highway would exacerbate them. “Somebody needs to be pay ing a lot more attention to what can and cannot happen,” he says, underscoring concerns about unchecked development at the exits. Although he acknowledges the road is important to IBM, he questions whether it’s a long term solution to the traffic prob lem. Bruhn’s devotion to down towns has brought him both praise and criticism from busi ness leaders. “I think he is a sort of adver sarial compatriot,” says Chris Barbieri, president of the Vermont Chamber of Commerce, who disagrees with Bruhn’s position that growth should be strongly focused downtown. “He is open-minded.
That’s where his strength is. W hen there is an ability to build consensus, he is willing to work with those who some people . view as the enemy. “Paul and I don’t necessarily agree all the time, but I have a lot of respect for him,” Barbieri adds. Some environmentalists are frustrated that Bruhn, whose opinions can influence the gover nor and the legislature, has not taken a public stand on certain contentious issues. Christopher Kilian, senior attorney for the Conservation Law Foundation, calls Bruhn “a very politically savvy advocate for his issues” and says#he “preserves the relationships he needs.” And he says that probably means he’s not taking an aggressive stance in all environmental battles. Still, Kilian says: “I would rather have Paul working on the issue he works on — which 95 percent of the time I agree with — rather than have someone in that position who is less effective, or have him on the other side.” Robins says it is not in Bruhn’s nature to concede on an important point. “He is very competitive,” Robins says. “Paul never makes it personal, but you don’t find him compromising much if it is something he cares about.” And what matters to Bruhn is keeping downtowns alive. “I have come to understand how impor tant it is that downtowns be vital and vibrant places that serve the community,” he says. “W ithout a functioning downtown, I think you lose the sense of communi

ty-” At their best, they are “a place where everyone can gather and bump into one another,” Bruhn continues, “a larger version of the village store.” But in protecting down towns, Bruhn says, he is not seeking to block progress. “I think that people may think of the environmental community or historical preservation folks wanting to pickle the state, but that’s really not what it’s about,” he says. “We really understand that there needs to be change, there needs to be growth. It is a question of how and where, and whether it is growth that really serves us.” And how has Bruhn’s work served Vermont? How would the state be different if Paul Bruhn had chosen another profession? Gerrit Kouwenhoven, president of the Preservation Trust’s board, says it’s a tough question. It would be a disservice to the hard-working members of the historic preservation movement in Vermont to say a given project would not have happened with out Bruhn. And Paul would be distressed at the suggestion. But, without Bruhn, Kouwenhoven adds, “my sense is we would be a decade or two behind in holding the sense of Vermont community together. . . He just saved us, as I said, a decade or two of really hard homework.” ®

’m sure everybody knows the government wants to build this space-based anti-ballistic missile system, the one designed to piss off every other country on Earth. This sounds great to me. Because if it irritates the French, even if it means losing all our other “allies,” I consider it money well spent. But there are a number of problems I think the government should address before plunking down the bucks. Problem Number One is that it doesn’t work. None of the missiles have been able to hit anything so far. But I won’t nit-pick about that one. Problem Number Two is that it won’t defend against the dreaded “suitcase bomb,” a small nuclear device smuggled in by a terrorist. A lot of people think this is a more likely threat than a missile, and they’re right. Because anyone can already find the recipe for a suitcase bomb by going to the Samsonite Web site and clicking on the “suitcase bomb” link at the bottom of their home page. The only things I still need for mine, in fact, are the plutonium and a special triggering device called a “klystron.” And since my brother works at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, that shouldn’t be a problem. Problem Number Three is related to Number Two, in that the people at Los Alamos would be responsible for a lot of the work on the new Star Wars system. This means that China would get an equivalent sys tem deployed at about the same time for less than half the cost, not only because half of Los Alamos also works for China, but because the Chinese are capable of taking much more drastic cost-cutting measures than we are. The function of test decoys, for example, can be performed by political prisoners that fall behind on the tennis-shoe assembly line, saving the Chinese millions. We are simply not allowed to do that kind of thing here in America. We can fry our prisoners with electrified chairs, or gas them or inject them with poison, but we are not permitted to catapult them into space for target practice, despite the potential savings. But Problem Number Four is by far the most troubling: The Air Force would be intimately involved in the deployment and operation of such a system. This scares me. I guarantee I’ll get a nasty letter from some local Guard lieutenant for saying this, but all the following facts are true and from my personal experience. I spent four years in the Air Force and met some talented and dedicated people. Unfortu nately, virtually all that talent and dedication was directed toward figuring out ways to avoid actual work. Most of us, myself included, did not take our jobs very seriously. I’m not proud of this — I’m just telling you the way it was. The SALTY Nations NATO Exercise perfect ly illustrates how utterly unqualified we were to defend any portion of the free world, especially that tiny corner of Germany in which I was sta tioned. I don’t know what SALTY stood for, or how nations became SALTY, but when they did they were forced to participate in a SALTY Nations Exercise as punishment. This meant our base had one to two exercises a year. The general idea of the Exercise was that everyone put on faulty chemical warfare suits and ran around like really nervous Michelin Men, trying to avoid getting blown up by imagi nary bombs or poisoned by Fictional nerve gas.
I
They were grueling exercises — they closed the enlisted club for something like three days in a row. This meant we didn’t have anywhere to drink except the dorm, as we weren’t supposed to be off base during the Exercises. So don’t say I didn’t earn my GI Bill. Anyway, during the Exercise NATO “moni tors” skulked around base in white helmets, handing out these little cards with different sce narios printed on them. If you were given one of these, you were supposed to act out your response or explain to the monitor what you would do if confronted by such a scenario. If a monitor gave you a card saying your partner was struck by bomb shrapnel and had a sucking chest wound, for example, you were supposed to per form simulated first aid, despite the fact that he

Usually we did not react appropriately, prefer ring instead to snicker and wrestle around on the grass like 5-year-olds, whereupon we would be handed another card explaining we were now dead from incompetence, and that we should walk to the “morgue,” as much like dead people as possible. The morgue was in the base fitness center. This was a serious planning flaw, because the “shopette” was right next door and sold very cheap beer. I’ve already mentioned the enlisted club was closed, so you can imagine what hap pened at the morgue. For a time,, a dead soldier in my unit had a lot more fun than a live one. For the record, though, nothing looks worse to a unit’s commanding officer than a fitness center full of drunken corpses. After a while someone in charge got wise and started making “casualties” perform actual work to discourage all the intentional dying. Suddenly the dead found themselves mowing lawns and emptying trash cans, in clear violation of Geneva Convention standards. And work was the one thing we had sworn, as American soldiers, to avoid at all costs. At this point our survival instincts were aroused. The best way to survive, of course, was to avoid the NATO monitors altogether. This wasn’t easy — many were French and thus enjoyed seeing Americans blown to imaginary pieces. But we got pretty good at escaping fic tional scenarios. I didn’t get killed once during my last exercise in Germany. The point I’m trying to make is this: If the only thing we took seriously in the military was avoiding fictional scenarios during peacetime, imagine how hard the people in charge of shoot ing down actual missiles would try to avoid a real scenario in wartime. Assuming the equipment worked to begin with. Which brings us back to Problem Number One. ®

arker Croft considers Vermont, where his family goes back seven genera tions, to be “the most wonderful place on Earth.” Accordingly, when the Middlebury architect and assis tant professor visited a country on the opposite side of the planet five years ago, the maple sugar candy he brought along gave him an unanticipated entree to an ancient culture. Although he was in India to help establish a health-care facility, Croft found himself on a magical mystery tour that redefined his aesthetic sensibility as well as his notion of certainty. “I began to comprehend how narrow our view of reality is in the United States,” he says, gaz ing at the snowy landscape out side his off-campus studio. “The public nature of my work became more pronounced after that.” Croft, 51, says he agrees with the old saying, “Art is not an end in itself but a means of address ing humanity.” In “Time For One World,” his installation on exhibit at Middlebury Colleges Bicentennial Hall, the high-speedreality of Western life has slowed to the pace of 24 clocks and a steady beat intended to represent the human heart. Each clock is accompanied by a small plaque indicating a place with historical significance in the language or dialect actually spoken there: Wounded Knee is written in Lakota, Chernobyl in Russian, Hiroshima in Japanese, Bangladesh in Bengali. The clocks, synchronized as “less a comment on time than on human events,” are affixed to floor-to-ceiling windows in a stu dent lounge. They are intended to represent locations from each of 24 equal segments of the Earths surface, or 15 degrees each of the total 360-degree cir cumference. “The locations illus trate the world’s suffering from divisiveness, war, pollution and prejudice,” reads a statement Croft wrote to describe his pur pose. “They are also examples of the triumph of a cooperative spirit over dissension and narrow self-interest.” He has linked the clocks to the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, which occur at the same moment everywhere around the globe. So they each tell the same exact story in hours, min utes and seconds. The “heart

service to the volatile'Punjab. “People kept telling me about Pushkar, which has 550 temples in a desert surrounded by moun tains,” he says. “I tb©k a bus.” Unable to fall asleep one night, Croft returned to a palace on a lake he had visited earlier that day in Pushkar. “There was nobody around, just pigs and cows. The stars were out. I heard fish catching bugs on the lake, peacocks waking up, bells and people chanting in the distance. Then I saw an old guy with a white beard open up the temples, light a lamp and incense and start to play a flute. He was play ing for God, and I was eaves dropping. The sky began turning purple as the sun rose. The white buildings picked up the color. I kept looking back and forth from the sky to the buildings,” he recalls, then suddenly slaps both hands on a wooden table in his studio. “I thought, ‘That’s it!”’ Croft’s eureka moment gave him “an intriguing artistic idea, to work with multiple facets that catch light at different angles. For the next two weeks, I would

Through him, the agori baba asked Croft if he knew anything about construction. The Harvard-trained architect said yes, and the entire entourage emerged from the cave. T hat’s when Croft noticed that the agori baba was a dwarf and the yoshi baba was a leper. They took him along to inspect a parcel of land where the holy man’s followers planned to build a complex. “I drew a design in the sand that they seemed to like,” Croft says. * This experience kicked off a series of encounters with gurus and saints. At one point, Croft climbed a steep cliff to the top of a ridge. There, he came upon a little valley with mangoes, banana trees, frolicking monkeys and a man sitting on the porch of a tiny hut.

One of Crofts faculty colleagues dis missed it as “ not legitimate art.’ Other people have complained that it blocks the view through the windows. There was even a petition to have the work removed before the exhibit’s close late Monday. Croft counters, “I don’t know any serious art that doesn’t promote controversy.” Croft suspects that his critics might have react ed negatively to the piece because “it is not decora tive. There is a strong architec tural basis to the way it occupies the space. Or maybe they’re alienated by its scientific, intellec tual nature.” It’s the sort of art you might find at an airport, and Croft, appro priately, has offered to show it at Burlington International before it heads for an airport in the Hawaiian Islands this fall.

decided to see of the Tibetan government-inexile. He took a late-night walk in the Himalayan foothills, but the moon, which had been bright when he started out, disappeared. In the darkness, he suddenly observed a mesmerizing glow above a peak in the distance and wondered if it could be an angel. “I thought, ‘Omigod, this is extreme,”’ says Croft, unaware at the time that he was witnessing the Hale-Bopp Comet. “I went to India for the most pragmatic reason, so I never expected these amazing spiritual things would happen to me,” he surmises. A changed man, Croft landed back in the Green Mountain State and began to concentrate on his “folded light” ideas. “I was completely on fire,” Croft recalls. His first piece won an award at Burlington’s annual South End Art Hop, followed by a grant to show similar work at Middle bury. A newer creation, called “Big Night,” sits in his studio capturing the dif* fused sunlight o that floods the room. The angu lar 9-foot, 4-inch 03 aluminum sculp ture is painted in swirls of purple and, working somewhat like a trompe l’oeil, appears translu cent despite being crafted with solid material. Croft’s “Time For One World” offers less visual intrigue than the sculpture; in this case the puzzle, sufficiently com plex to confuse a mathematician, is more cerebral. “The first time zones were adopt ed in 1883,” he says. “Daylight savings was not signed into law until Gerald Ford was president. Given the 24-hour nature of the Internet, existing time zones become ridiculous.” His goal is to foster reflection. “In our normal day, society makes so many demands on us with all those truisms: ‘Time is money.’ ‘I don’t have time for that.’ We tend to see time as the enemy o f relationships. I was hoping to provide a way for time to promote those connections.” O n a brisk April afternoon, several students camped out in Bicentennial Hall easy chairs are schmoozing, snoozing or study ing — for rhe most part oblivi ous to Croft’s thought-provoking message about the human condi tion ticking away nearby. After all, these global clocks on a simultaneous, 24-hour can’t really tell them if they are late for class. Perhaps a little maple candy would get their attention. ®

Everybody has to be good at something, howev er useless, and Putney native Bill Kathan, Jr. per formed 5365 nonstop jumping jacks on January 1, 2000. His goal was to beat the previous record of 5103 held by West Coast jumping jack champion Steve Sokol. But Kathan didn’t stop there. He has since bro ken his own record by doing 5671 jumping jacks in a row and then went on to blow away the 24-hour jumping-jack record with 46,243. After this, he set the record for the most jumping jacks in 15 min utes — 1454 — and bested his old record again with a whopping 11,229 consecutive calisthenics. Kathan claims to be writing an autobiography called Wild Bill’s True Story from the Beginning, but how he will ever get it done is a mystery. Books take time, and he can’t have much of it, since Kathan is also competitive about push-ups — he does 2020 in an hour — and is working on a sixminute mile, run backwards.
Carroll Peters is askingj:he Lamoille County Probate Court to award him one-third of his late wife’s estate, but there’s a catch: He has been ordered to pay $600,000 to her estate in a civil judgment for raping his wife about a month before she was murdered. Peters has also been trying to collect on her $20,000 life insurance policy, repeat edly appealing a court ruling that puts the money out of his reach. If Peters inherits, he would essentially be paying himself $200,000 for a crime he committed, a situ ation that the victim’s children find exasperating. These same children also think Peters was their mother’s murderer, though they could not get a wrongful death conviction in civil court because the two-year statute of limitations has expired. Criminal charges against Peters for sexual assault are working their way through the legal sys tem, and the murder is still being investigated. The hearing to determine whether Peters can be a bene ficiary of the court judgment against him will unwind later this month. In the meantime, he is suing his attorney.

And you thought shoveling the driveway was challenging. David Frary of Royalton recently liber ated a horse from deep powder. The Tennessee Walker-Quarter Horse cross had wandered into soft snow and got hung up on its belly with its feet no longer touching the ground. The intrepid Frary waded out to the beast and dug a path, and the horse was eventually able to wallow free and get into some nearby woods where the snow was shal lower. After catching his breath, Frary explained that two years ago he rescued a different horse that had somehow rolled from the road, over a bank, into snow man’s land.

To Hell with Headlines Headlines have turned curiously listless and world weary: “Another Pancake Breakfast Sunday,” reads one; “Rockingham Library Auctions Birdhouses Again,” another reports dutifully. “In Praise of Percolation” at least seems to indicate that someone’s medication is finally kicking in, while in the starved-for-novelty category we have two win ners: “David Clark Began Collecting Sap When He Was Five Years Old” and “Don Nicoll’s Head To Be Shaved.” — The Herald o f Randolph, April 5, Bellows Falls Town Crier, March 23, Bradford Journal Opinion, April 4, Valley Reporter, March 22, Black River Tribune, April 4

Soap Opera This Mud’s for You The Barton Select Board recently learned that someone has been mud-bogging on May Pond Road — this is an indigenous sport that requires a pickup, a wet spot and nothing else to do. Other signs of the season include a Spring Mud Fling Festival,.an Earth Day-Mud Season Film Fest, a Mudseason Makeover and the squishily descriptive Step Into Spring. Which we all will, since there’s no way around it, but we can at least keep our laces tight so we don’t lose our shoes between the house and the car. O r something even bigger. Ken Lay of West Dover reports that he was walking his Rottweiler, Bruiser, on Route 100 recently when the dog fell into a pothole and disappeared. “I haven’t seen him since,” he says. “I borrowed a 12-foot ladder to retrieve him from the pothole, but the ladder couldn’t reach down to the bottom .” - Barton Chronicle, April 4, Morrisville News & Citizen, April 5, Windsor Chronicle, March 22, Deerfield Valley News, March 22
Debra Goad of Newport was out shopping when the police showed up to arrest her on a drug charge. When she got home, she was taken directly to the station, still gripping her groceries. In a mir acle of bad timing, a bottle of Pert shampoo fell out of her jacket as she walked into the squad room. A little cross-checking with her store receipt showed that she hadn’t paid for the item, so Goad was charged with both retail theft and heroin posses sion. — Barton Chronicle, March 28
Soap Opera, Part II In a melodrama of a more Hitchcockian kind, police in Bristol fielded a call from a Church Street resident who reported a “suspicious person” walk ing around in her neighbor’s house. Police went to the scene and questioned the perpetrator, who turned out to be the owner. He explained that he had arrived home “sooner than expected.” Sooner, apparently, is not always better. The neighbor who made the complaint call was his daughter. Unresolved issues anybody? •Addison County Independent, April 2

Tarmac A tta c k Road-weary Vermonters take their pothole shots
pothole ate my car.” It’s not your typical excuse from a tardy employee, but one heard with H i increasing frequency, and decreasing incredulity, these days in Vermont. With the tarmac tectonics happening out there this year, the term “ hitting the road” has taken on a whole, er hole, new meaning. So we decided to launch a crater-haters contest, soliciting stories from road warriors who have done battle with the blacktop — and lost. Sorry we can’t spring for new tires, rims or front ends, but our rat tled respondents do get free car washes, and, in the case of one intrepid spring cyclist, a subsidized tune-up. Read on for their entertaining “ ass fault” encounters. . .
“ A!
TWO FOR THE ROAD It was a dark and stormy night. OK, so it wasn’t stormy, but it was night, and therefore dark, and this, together with the oncoming traffic and wet asphalt, made the road surface hard to see. We were driving from St. Albans to West Dover to visit relatives for the week end, and we were almost there. My wife turned from Dorr Fitch Road onto Route 100. As we accelerat ed past the Dover town offices — W HAM , BAM! The car lurched and my heart sunk. “Pull over!” I screeched. (I was flashing back to the time an Enosburg pothole cost me the grill off my Volvo, but that’s another story.) “Why?” she protested, incredulous. “We’re almost there.” “You’ve got a major flat!” I replied. She clearly thought I was nuts, but did as I, uh, suggested. I flung open the door, and saw to my dismay not the single flat tire I’d envi sioned, but two flats, plus two bent BBS wheels. Since she got us into this pickle, I left it to my wife to track down a Friday-night tow (who carries two spares?). It turned out to be a tall order in that one-horse town. While she worked the phone in the bar of the local inn, our exhausted 4-year-old and I watched four other cars get lucky — “lucky” in this case meaning one flat rather than two. My wife tried to report the pothole to the local police, but instead reached a state police dispatcher 30 miles away. Despite the distance, he knew precisely which pot hole she was describing. He’d already reported it to the
state highway department three times that day. “Seeing as how it’s right in front of the town offices, you’d think they’d have done something about it. Sorry, ma’am, that’s all I can do.” When the tow truck arrived two hours later, the driv er said we were the seventh car to get dual flats on that *#$@%&*$! pothole. He com mented dryly on its preference for BMWs, Mercedes, Volvos and Volkswagens. It was defi nitely targeting Volkswagens that black night. After it crip pled our Passat, we watched that demon hole attack two other VWs. And, the driver noted — showing a hint of black humor — the highway crew had patched the hole just that morning. In the end we limped home with two temporary and rather basic replacement tires and two hammered-out rims that the mechanic recommend ed we replace as soon as possi ble. They’re staying on until Burlington fixes Riverside Avenue and upper North Street.

THE THIN YELLOW LINE
It was a Thursday after noon, at 1:15 p.m. I was motoring along, ever so com fortably and contentedly. The sun shone brilliantly, the beautiful ravine was a sight, as I traveled Riverside Avenue toward Winooski and past the car wash. Suddenly, a champagne Saturn to my right swerved to within an inch of hitting my car. Likewise, I swerved, crossing the double yellow into the on-coming traffic’s lane. I barely recovered, when that vehicle insti gated another narrow miss, and another and another. I
counted five. And further down the hill, another four. Ahead of the Saturn, the road was a mine field of pot holes — some deep, some shallow. I would say Riverside’s right-hand-laners discover more hole than surface, the hard way! By default, it’s not safe in the left-hand lane, either! I offer this to area drivers: Beware of descending that hill in either lane when there are many cars, which is most the time. In fact, I recommend closing it down for repairs so that in June, we can once again enjoy the gen tly winding descent and ravine view, with the sun shining and the warm, sweet smell of summer wafting through our open windows. — Susan Burdick Burlington
SUPPORTS PAVING Burlington’s annual mud-season obstacle course gives a whole new meaning to the term “knockers.” The daily shake, rattle and roll is enough to make a woman who is modestly endowed run for more reliable means of sup port. Anyone over a 36C who hits those asphalt mon strosities at a speed exceeding 10 miles an hour had better hope her benefit package includes major medical. Remember bras designed to “lift and separate?” Take a ride on South Union Street and your feminine accou trements may lift and separate permanently. If I wanted breasts that rotated in separate directions, I’d buy some tassels and take up exotic dancing. I nominate the entire stretch between Main and Pearl. — Thea Dion Burlington
THE HOLE ENCHILADA May I respectfully suggest that your contest is a bit car-centric. For a real bone-jangling, teeth-clattering good time, try riding a bicycle on practically any street in Burlington at this time of year. Especially bad are Intervale Avenue just past the Yellow Cab building, and a few choice spots on Colchester Avenue. But the grand-daddy o f them all has got to be the length of Riverside Avenue. I was riding my bicycle up the hill one day and fell into a pothole somewhere near Tortilla Flats. I came up again — I swear to God — in front of the Co-op. — Paula Myrick Winooski

hile most people dream in pictures and words, one night a few months ago James Harvey heard music in his sleep. A trombone virtuoso who is no slouch on the piano, Harvey replayed the notes several times in his mind before it dawned on him that this surprising noctur nal inspiration seemed perfect for his new jazz composition, Monkey. “I had tried different things that didn’t seem to fit. This was simple but a little on the myste rious side,” he recalls, his craggy face breaking into an impish smile of delight. Some moonlighting muse must have known Harvey was then trying to figure out how to complete the middle section of a 45-minute piece commissioned by the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts last fall. He’ll be at the piano when his trio pre

D U d d n d mieres Monkey this weekend at the FlynnSpace in Burlington. “James is one of Vermont’s leading jazz artists who compos es,” observes Flynn artistic direc tor Arnie Malina. “And he’s been involved nationally with many of the great figures in his field. He’s also got a really wonderful trio. It should make for a very exciting evening.” If Monkey shines, it could underscore the ever-modest Harvey’s inclination to move his career in the direction of more concert settings. He sometimes tires of the distracting club milieu, “worrying about some drunk coming over and yelling at me while I play.” The title of his FlynnSpace debut is meant to convey the music’s “playful quality, non-ver bal and mischievous,” he explains. “And I was born in 1957, what the Chinese call the Year of the Monkey. To Tibetans, it’s the Year of the Fire Monkey.” Harvey’s personal trial-by-firemonkey includes a 12-year strug
gle with heroin addiction, of which he cured himself in 1996. “When I got clean, I couldn’t play. I’d been high for so long that my brain was rewired. My fingers wouldn’t go where I wanted them to on the piano.” Despite that setback, other doors started opening when he kicked his drug habit. A signifi cant part of Harvey’s redemption can be attributed to Buddhism, which had long intrigued him but only became a daily practice five years ago. Sitting in a lotus like position on floor pillows at a Burlington meditation center, he traces the way art and spiritual yearnings have intersected in his life. “I officially became a Buddhist in May 1997,” Harvey recalls. “For the first few years, I didn’t have much time for music. It was still my livelihood but I wasn’t composing. It wasn’t important to me. I had a lot of lost time to make up for.” He has been able to restore his talent through study and

People who are not high-strung don’t tend to fill themselves with heavy narcotics.” Now, Harvey is extending himself beyond local club gigs thanks to Monkey and the release o f an album, Grateful, in May. “I didn’t care much one way or the other about doing a record, but someone offered me the money to do it.

a path described as ‘a train you can’t get off.’” After a year, he dropped out of school and found work as a trombone player for hire, which took him as far away as Europe on tours. “I lived a nomadic life for five years,” Harvey says. “Along the way, I met a brilliant guy, Peter Apfelbaum, who played tenor sax, piano and drums. He was into African rhythms and traditional har monies. We worked together off and on for the next 14 years.” During one of those off times in the early 1980s, Harvey returned to Vermont and launched The H-Mob. The band, which attracted a legion of devotees, allowed him to strut his stuff on trombone, guitar, keyboards and drums. Along with sax player Dave Grippo, he also tackled the sounds of Ornette Coleman, Charlie Mingus and Thelonious Monk, among others, as a member of

SEVEN DAYS

^T a m e sl The Crash and Burn Bop Cult. Despite all this activity in his home state, Harvey decided to rejoin Apfelbaum and The Hieroglyphics Ensemble, then based in San Francisco. It was a heady time. The band issued two albums. Harvey, who had also married by then, was recruited to play on Multikulti, a recording by the legendary Don Cherry. Financial success still eluded him, but the insidious downside for Harvey was heroin and its equally addictive cure, methadone. W ith his marriage breaking up, he came back to Burlington in 1995. In an attempt to rid himself of the evil monkey on his back, Harvey signed up for an experimental University o f Vermont clinic that dispensed buprenorphine. “It didn’t work,” he reports. “I spent a year feeling miserable. I’d go for two weeks without sleeping for one second, besides
being sick. I’d always cave in. Eventually, in my brilliant little mind, I realized: ‘The problem with this is that you’re con scious.’ So, I remained flat on my face, drunk, for a week. I’d just drink till I passed out. At the end of the week, I was a mess but I was off heroin. Then, of course, I had to stop drinking.” Harvey cautions that substi tuting alcohol for heroin “is totally not a good thing. People really can’t do something like that on their own. If I didn’t have people around to help me, I would absolutely not have been able to do it.” Finally clean and sober, he was free to undertake a healthier approach to life. Buddhism, which had frightened him at age 18, now beckoned. “I was 38 or 39, so I asked myself, ‘If not now, when?”’ His trio — Gabe Jarrett on drums and John Rivers on bass — has been together for three years. With them, Harvey has put aside his horn for the moment. “It’s easier to run a band and communicate the total ity of a piece on the piano. Plus, I never found [a pianist] who played my stuff the way I want it to be played.” In Monkey, Harvey’s dreamderived sequence meshes with four other sections, some melod ic and others quite abstract. He likens its symphonic “arch” struc ture to that of Bartok’s Fourth String Quartet, a sign that the jazz aficionado has come to respect the artistry of dead, white Europeans once again. He is open to presenting Monkey at other cultural venues or even seeking more commis sions to develop new work, although it would mean over coming his long-term “reluctance to pin down what I’m going to do before I do it.” When not exploring uncharted horizons with his trio, Harvey still plays a regular gig with GFB — the Grippo Funk Band — at Red Square in down town Burlington. He rules out going back on the road, however, largely because it would likely upset the equilibrium he has finally attained. “With both Buddhism and jazz, you have to relax so they can accomplish something beyond yourself,” Harvey says, stretching his legs after almost an hour in the lotus position. Improvisation in music is some thing that appears from nowhere and disappears. A lot of strange stuff happens. It’s important not to try to hold on. You cannot recapture a wonderful experi ence. You can only get in touch with the energy and ride it.” Sounds somewhat simian, not a bad thing for the James Harvey of 2001. “I’m different,” he sug gests “— a brand new guy.” ®

An attacker can also prevent injury by broadcasting his next move with an exagger ated wind-up for a cut or thrust. The swords are duller than real weapons and don’t have sharp points. Still, accidents can happen. As a student at UVM in the ‘70s, Ugalde witnessed a fel low cast member in Eugene Ionesco’s MacBett take a dagger hilt to the head when he moved to the wrong spot on stage. That student earned 17 stitches for his efforts, and Ugalde earned a lesson that has served him in his work with theater companies all over and the effect is more successful Vermont.

techniques in a free workshop after the last Three Musketeers performance. One objective of all the fight scenes is, of course, to create the illusion of actual combat without jeopardizing safety. For Ugalde and his cast, though, the fights must also mesh with plot and character. “At its best, every sin gle fight scene has to have a fight story,”’Ugalde says. “It must extend the characters and the sit uations they’re in.” Fight scenes in The Three Musketeers thus have their owft central con flicts, such as a swordsman being outnumbered, wounded or acting out of jealous rage. Nuances of character should also come out in the way a character fights. In playing the world-weary Athos, for example, actor John Alexander strives to convey both his character’s combat prowess as well as his emotional state. “I think Athos recognizes that he’s better than the average fighter, so that gives me a certain confidence going into a fight. And he’s also got a certain intensity that I’ve put into the fight,” Alexander says. “Other [3 people’s lives are fairly ■■ cheap...If somebody talks of killing him, he has no problem dispatching them.” The body count is pretty high, in other words. But the play is not all swordplay. In fact, the bulk of the full-on stage combat takes place in the first act. The action gallops along in the second act as clanging metal 7 gives way to dastardly intrigues, insidious pacts and sundry indis cretions. The plot twists and turns sharply at times, giving the play a Shakespearean feel — or, as Ugalde sees it, the actionpacked pace of a movie. But when this director yells “Cut!” he really means it. (7)

By Erik Esckilsen ou could drive the length of Church Street — the entire length, all the way to the church. “Progressive” was a simple adjective. A ride on the city bus cost a quarter. That was Burlington in the 1970s. And if you passed by Tinker Greenes Booth Street apartment, you probably heard the drum spinning on an old mimeograph machine — ka-chunk, ka-chunk — cranking out poetry for a band of local bards known, fit tingly enough, as Poets Mimeo. To say it was a small-press opera tion is like saying Borders is just a bookstore. Though the Poets Mimeo story was brief — more like haiku, really — it captures a unique moment in the cultural life of Burlington before the Marketplace, the megastore and the poetry slam. Throughout April, National Poetry Month, a cadre of original Poets Mimeo cooperative members is hosting a series of poetry readings and an exhibit of published materials, revisiting their glory days and, they hope, revitalizing local interest in local poetry. The Poets Mimeo are gray-

ing, some are bespectacled and coffee is the hardest stuff going around at readings now. But the opening-night event revealed their unflagging passion for Burlington, poetry and the future of both. In all, 12 poets took the podium at the Firehouse Gallery on a recent Friday night. While the reading was open to all poets, the majority were Poets Mimeo alumni, making the evening feel like a high school reunion for the very hip. Inside jokes spiced the patter, deceased friends received dedications, and tales of Nixon-era naughtiness made their way around again. Some of the readings were drawn from the Poets Mimeo “archives” — that is, the various attics, barns and garages where they had been stashed for a quar ter-century or so — offering a nostalgic return to the loose form and theme of much street poetry. Shepherd Ogden, wear ing an antique-looking Phantoms Pizza jacket, read some circa-’70s road verse that he couldn’t attribute definitively to his brother or his own hand. Michael Jewell and Tinker Greene hit what the latter called a “proto-slam” note with Jewell’s poem for two overlapping voices.

As Jewell said of the poem, “It has a certain rhythm, but I don’t know what it is.” T hat’s vintage Poets Mimeo — more concern for the moment than what pro duced it. “It was really a very anarchis tic kind of enterprise,” says Greene, who co-founded the cooperative with Charlotte poet Bud Lawrence. “We really didn’t want to have any form or any borders or rules.” In fact, Greene adds, he and his cohorts often changed the name of the pub lishing entity from one publica tion to the next. “It was kind of a goofy sense that we had of how much fun literature could be,” he says. Even at peak output, the Poets Mimeo effort was a modest one. As Lawrence recalls, most of the press runs numbered less than a hundred — sometimes much less — and were circulated mainly among the 30 or so poets who formed the- core of the group. The publications them selves were also pretty basic, such as Blasting, the first Poets Mimeo release. Michael Breiner, who worked with Greene on the UVM literary magazine The News & The Weather, remembers Blasting as a “two-sided legal sheet of paper with a mess of

cutups and concrete poems and things like that.” But the Poets Mimeo and townies who remember their high period recall the poetry readings as their most vital con tribution. Starting in the Fresh Ground Coffeehouse on lower Church Street, which is now the Five Spice Cafe, the readings migrated mainly to the Firehouse building and the since-vanished German Club in the Old North End. “I think we really tried to maintain a certain spirit,” Breiner says. “The mimeo was almost secondary... a way to document what we were doing at that point.” According to Lawrence, that
spirit was directed toward spon taneity and an openness to all writers in the community. “It was a very yeasty time,” he says, “a sort of settling down out of the wildness of the ’60s without getting rid of too much of the wildness in terms of art and liter ature.” Poet Chico Martin remem bers the excitement Poets Mimeo brought to the local scene. “We really had the sense that we were on the vanguard of something,” he says, citing influences ranging from the French Surrealists, to the New York Expressionists and, to a lesser extent, the Beat poets. Yet if the Poets Mimeo ever paid homage to Literature with a

capital “L,” Martin says it was intended to expose people to unfamiliar work in hopes of encouraging them to read and write — not to understand poet ry as something that happens only on “a grandiose and aca demic scale.” “Street poetry” became an apt description for the coopera tive as their reading attendees swelled out the door — the grandiose and academic among them.

Burlington profs T. Alan Broughton and David Huddle were among their ranks, as was former faculty member Robert Caswell, whom Martin calls “the patron saint” of poetry in Burlington. Caswell had recently “come on hard times,” wrote Lindy Hough in a 1977 article in the Sunday Rutland Herald Times Argus. But his poetry career got a shot in the arm when Poets Mimeo published his collection Epitaph for a Street in May 1975. The volume struck a chord with Burlingtonians for its often-bitter reflections on Queen City life — Caswell’s neighborhood had been bull dozed in the cause of “urban renewal” in the late 60s. The book of poems helped fund later Poets Mimeo projects, including Caswell’s Exiledfrom North Street in 1976. Greene would make editorial contribu tions to Caswell’s The Compass o f the Heart, published in 1979 by
North Atlantic Books. While Caswell’s success was not the beginning of the end for Poets Mimeo, the breakthrough did signify the cooperative was changing and growing. As Hough prophesied in 1977, “what is entirely local in orienta tion may need to seek a wider intellectual world to grow also. This perhaps means that each poet has a limited time when affiliation with a local poets’ co op does any good.” By 1979, Greene had out grown his native Vermont and moved to San Francisco, mark ing what most Poets Mimeo agree was the end of their era. As their kick-off reading indicated, however, that was hardly the end of their poetry. Everyone has continued to write. Bill Davis has produced scores of chapbooks. Martin produces roughly one a year. Anna Blackmer is now about halfway through that cycle of poems based on the I Ching she started in the late ’70s. The spirit of openness also remains. Two of the highlights of the inaugural reading were poems by Andy Krackow, 26, and Michael Nedell, 36 — Rhombus poetry slam regulars who stopped by the Firehouse to share a few lines in a contempo rary groove. Krackow’s clever internal rhyming and witty turns of phrase drew quick breaths and raucous laughs from her older counterparts, while Nedell floored them with the sung refrain, “At least the snow is gone from Church Street,” from lyrics that could be interpreted as commentary on the commer cial strip’s air of preciousness. Clearly, much has changed since the Poets Mimeo roamed the streets. One of the more dra matic developments has occurred in local poetry itself — the rise of the poetry slam. The popular, fast-paced and highly competitive spoken-word form is a puzzlement to some Poets Mimeo members. “I’m per plexed by slam culture,” Breiner says. “I’m sort of bewildered by the scoring thing and all of that. But... everyone’s got something to say, and if they can find a way to say it that they’re comfortable with then, then cool.” Lawrence, an avowed “anar chist and nature mystic,” is most at odds with the glitzy effect, rules and entertainment ethic at the heart of slam. “I applaud the idea that poetry should be given as much scope as possible, but the format of the readings is so clicked in and so ratcheted up,” he says. “There’s a conformist format, [and] poetry is not about conforming... If you hype up the poetry and make too much of it as an entertainment, the effects of cogitation and emotion get blunted or erased.” For the next month poets and community members can experience poetry both in this entertainment-rich context and through the lens of local literary history — and contemplate how their next lines should read. ®

Hingtgen (P-Burlington).
Hingtgen’s amendment called for withholding state handouts from organizations that discriminate “because of race, creed, color, national origin, religion, marital status or sexual orientation.” That should tell you the mind set of the current GOP House majority.

Reality Check — Last Friday hundreds of newspapers coast-tocoast carried a Vermont-related “Dear Abby” column that referred directly to our civil unions law. The column contained a letter from Sen. John Campbell (DWindsor): DEAR ABBY: la m responding on behalfo f the Vermont Senate Judiciary Committee to a recent let ter from ‘‘Needs to Know, ”who plans to “marry ”in Vermont. In Vermont, the institution o f marriage is available only to cou ples o f the opposite sex. However, same sex couples may establish a “civil union, ”which entitles them to benefits and privileges, as well as the responsibilities, equal to those afforded married couples. We hope “Needs to Know, ”her partner, their families and friends enjoy their stay in Vermont. And Dear Abby wrote this reply for the whole nation to read: DEA R SEN. CAMPBELL Thank you for the clarification. Regardless o f what you call it, your landmark civil union is sensible and forward-thinking. I wish other states would follow your lead and allow same-sex couples who wish to be officially committed to each other the privilege o f doing so. It poses no threat to “traditional” marriages and promotes responsibil ity and accountability between the partners. Thanks, Abigail, for the reality check.

What a week it was for U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords. The nation watched as our favorite maverick Republican pulled the rug out from under President George W. Bush and the tax-cut that mil lionaires dream of. CNN’s senior political analyst B ill Schneider called Jeezum Jim’s move “The Political Play of the Week.” Vermont’s senior sena tor, Democrat Patrick J. Leahy, even put out a press release prais ing Jeezum. “I commend Sen. Jeffords for putting Vermont’s interests ahead of a political agenda,” stated St. Patrick. Praise from Congressman Bernie Sanders was a little slow er in coming, but we dragged it out of him. “I am glad that Sen. Jeffords has opposed the $1.6 trillion taxbreak, which is totally absurd,” Sanders told Seven Days. Jeezum Jim even resisted the last-minute lobbying of mini-mart chain owner Skip Vallee of South Burlington. Vallee said he was called in by the White House and the RNC to get Jeezum to see the light. Two other Vermont Republicans flew with him to

Washington, but Gasoline Vallee declined to identify them. On Saturday, some on the Republican State Committee wanted to smack Jeffords for betraying Bush. They debated a resolution, said Vice-Chair Anne McClaughry, urging Jeffords to work more closely with the President from now on. McClaughry told Seven Days she supported the resolution. Following debate, however, the anti-Jeezum resolution was tabled. Funny, how through the years Jim Jeffords’ worst enemies have been fellow Republicans.

Lobbyist Assault Case Update
— Judge Paul Hudson has dis missed charges of resisting arrest and simple assault on a police officer brought against W ill Adams, a veteran Statehouse busi ness lobbyist. Adams’ attorney had filed a motion for review of probable cause. According to the judge’s order, there were four cops present at Adams’ Hartford home on the night in question. It reads, “Neither count specifies which police officer was recklessly caused bodily injury by the defen dant or which officer or officers were prevented in their attempt to make a lawful arrest.” Both counts were dismissed “with prej udice,” for lack of probable cause. According to Deputy State’s Attorney Matthew Huntington, “The judge indicated in his order that the state’s information was not specific enough.” Dismissed “with prejudice” means, he indi cated, that “the State is free to.nv, refile the criminal information and continue prosecution.”
Curious about why free speech was tossed out of the statehouse?

Reporter Caves In? — That’s sure what it looks like in the case of Associated Press scribe David Gram and a major mullah of the Vermont right — John McClaughry, president of the Ethan Allen Institute and hubbie of state GOP Vice-Chair Anne McClaughry. A couple weeks back, Gram wrote up a story on Congressman Sanders’ trashing W ’s proposed tax-cut plan. Gram reported that Bernie cited a study by the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal Washington think-tank, that proved the Bush plan a disaster for Vermont. Vermont’s Johnny ThinkTanker quickly got on the horn to Gram, we’re told, asking for equal coverage for a different view from a right-wing think tank, the Heritage Foundation. Gram didn’t bite. McClaughry then took his story of Gram’s rejection to Vermont’s new right-wing online weekly newsletter, The DwinellSternberg Report, available at www.dwinaell-sternberg.com. Libby Sternberg wrote it up. Guess what? It worked. Mr. Gram put a second Bush tax-cut story on the wire more to the liking of Mr. McClaughry and his right-think ing followers. Asked about the cave-in, Gram told us he would have “no comment” on the matter. Interesting, eh? ®

70S &SOS FLASHBACK DANCEPARTY
released, C D ) — On his new C D , I Have Tried to Run, Addison County native Josh Brooks names and thanks a number of musicians who have inspired him over the years. But his greatest accomplishment on this recording is that while he benefits from the influence of strong musical per sonalities like Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zant, Woody Guthrie and Steve Earle, he demonstrates a memorable and dramatic individual style that is all his own. Brooks’ approach is sparse and brave — most ly just his voice and acoustic guitar, punctuated by some Dylanesque harmonica work. Hats off to him and co-producer-engineer Chris Clark for making it mud-free. O f course Brooks can afford to take artistic risks — he has a strong tenor voice and a rock-solid rhythmic sense on the guitar. The overall impression is, well, impressive. His music and lyrics sound like the product of a person with more mileage and burnish than 25 years usually affords. The 12 cuts on I Have Tried to Run range from an acoustic slide boogie-woogie (“I Took My
Love to Town”) to a poignant lament about the decline of dairy farms (“Ballad of Abraham”) to country-honk talking blues (“Ten Black Crows”). I love it that you can’t finger any o f Brooks’ mate rial in the “sounds like” game — the genres are clear, but the music is comfortably unique. In this day and age it’s rare to be able to com pliment original acoustic music in these terms, especially when talking about local material — although Patti Casey and Katherine Quinn are both notable exceptions to this rash statement. I Have Tried to Run is a whole album of win ners, a carefully constructed set of memorable songs in many styles that Josh Brooks can be justi fiably proud of. I heard him perform last week at Borders, and was happy to discover that the artist sounds “just like himself” when playing onstage. Catch him live on Easter Sunday at the Bridge Street Cafe in Richmond from 10 a.m. until noon. — Robert Resnik
Sometimes McNichols cranks up the guitars with a bit o f distortion. Among the best of these are the rockin’ opener, “ Unraveled,” and the bouncy “ Radio.” Other highlights include the rolling “ Bossa Nova” and “ Feeling High,” which catches McNichols at his most Samples esque. His singing voice is warm and sincere-sound ing, and his melody choices are catchy and com forting. On the other various instruments, McNichols proves to be more than competent, crafting pleasant soundscapes out o f simple build ing blocks. Most of the songs are straight-ahead pop tunes, with the drums and bass laying down a groove behind hummable melodies. Jeep proves highly listenable even after multiple spins, and wouldn’t be out o f place on The Point. On a D IY side note, this disc is also selfreleased on McNichols’ own label, making this an all-jeep type o f thing. It’s pretty O K, if you ask me. Check out the live thing next Wednesday at Club Metronome, with local alt-popsters Trouble Doll. — Colin Clary
JEEP MCNICHOLS, JEEP (JeepMusic, C D ) — After 10 years as drummer for The Samples and then a few years off, Jeep McNichols is throwing his hat back in the ring with a 12-song album simply titled Jeep. This time around he shoots for more of a pop-rock edge, playing all the instru ments himself and delivering song after hookfilled song with sensitivity and danceability. Overall the disc is a little bland, but is still some how infectious and likeable. Jeep often reminds me o fT h e Samples, but at other times like early X T C , Paul Simon or even (yikes!) The Buggies. My favorite track here is called “Afterthought,” a sweet, tender and slightly sad song of longing with just a dash of optimism. Its chorus and verse both stick in my head, and I’m actually psyched that there are two versions o f this number on the album.

The oil-onpaper “Sculpture Stand with Bottles” is a painting of the same bottle forms. The shadows of the

When the whole spectrum is reflected by a surface, we see white. When the whole spec trum is absorbed we see black. The current dual exhibit at the Doll-Anstadt Gallery in Burlington is a study in black and white. The sculp tures and paint ings of Denis Versweyveld reflect a lot of light. Sandy Hartley’s monotypes absorb as much as they reflect — they’re all black and “Bay Pond, Adirondacks,” by Sandy Hartley white. The works of both sculpted version react with the white plaster sur artists are dominated by visual textures, graceful face to imply shades of color, while in the paint forms and varied values rather than varied hues. ing Versweyveld uses pale values of gray, green Hartley’s monotypes depict pastoral scenes. and yellow to capture the spirit of the plaster Although the subject matter is conservative, her original.

NURSE BETTY
I admit to being prejudiced when it comes to Morgan Freeman. I really like the guy, consider him a screen presence of rare dignity and grace and will make allowances for him and his work where I probably wouldn’t for just about anyone else. So take it with a grain of salt when I call the actor’s latest a transparent attempt to cash in on the appeal of his Seven persona, a here and there dubiously plotted thriller and, for the most part, a semi-excellent time. When I first saw the film’s TV ads and trailer, I had to laugh. The jittery David Lynch meets Trent Resnor title presentation constituted a blatant attempt to suggest this would be a picture in the same luridly intense vein as Seven , the masterful David Fincher suspensefest which popularized the often imitated effect. This was a hoot since it couldn’t have been more obvious the movie would bear a far stronger resemblance to the relatively routine, visually ho-hum Gary Fleder suspensefest Kiss The Girls. It is, in fact, a prequel of sorts to it. Both are big screen versions of best-selling James Patterson books. But then I read the press kit: “Executive Producer, Morgan Freeman.” All righty then. If somebody’s going to cash in on the appeal of Freeman’s Seven persona, I figure it might as well be Freeman. If the actor wants to establish a profitable franchise in which he plays a detective reminiscent
of the one he played opposite Brad Pitt, I say more power to him. As long as he comes up with some thing halfway watchable, why shouldn’t he cash in? And Along Came A Spicier is halfway watchable and then some. Freeman once again stars as ace profiler Alex Cross. He’s drawn into the action when a psycho masquerading for two years as a teacher at a private school kidnaps the daughter of a U.S. Senator and then telephones the detective to talk shop. Monica Potter costars as the FBI agent who let the girl slip through her fingers. She teams up with the sympathetic veteran ostensibly in hopes of earning redemption. The plot takes a few hardto-swallowish twists (which my movie reviewer vows prevent even hinting at) when it comes to her character, but does feature a nifty bit of misdirec tion involving the abductor’s ultimate aim. Vague enough for you? Over all, the film’s cre ators were reasonably successful, I think, in their effort to boobytrap a familiar form with unexpected developments. The audience is treated to a bracing blend of the familiar (a race-against-the-clock search for the victim) and the fresh (last-minute bonus bad guys). And the icing on the cake, of course, is another super smooth turn from Freeman. When all is said and done, there may not be an awfully lot in Along Came A Spider that hasn’t been said and done before. At the same time, Freeman and company say and do it all with style enough to make coming along worthwhile. ®

Dear Cecil, There is a common scene on T V and in the movies where there has been a murder. The body has been removed, but its outline is pre served on the floor in white tape or chalk. Do the police really do this, or is it only done for dramatic effect? — Gnyler Magruder, West Palm Beach, Florida
IL L U S T R A T IO N : SLUG S IG N O R IN O
I have no personal knowledge of this. When you’re the quiet, careful type like me, they never find the body. But 1 knew who to call — my old high school classmate Allen Jaglowski, a Chicago homicide detective and president of the Chicago Police Detectives’ Association. When I reached Al, he was at a pretrial conference for a murder case along with two other homicide detectives and a police forensic investigator. Al said neither he nor the other guys, who collectively represented 100 years of crime fighting experience, had ever seen chalk or tape used to outline a body — and for good reason. While chalk or tape might make for dramatic TV, they also contaminate the crime scene. I then surveyed other sources with the help of the Straight Dope Science Advisory Board (Sherlock Holmes’s Baker Street Irregulars had nothing on these guys): • A Michigan state trooper: “They do not outline bodies with chalk anymore. They come in, photograph and videotape the scene. They measure where the body is lying from a known fixed point in the room or area. They will also mark a point, usually near the head, using a plastic marker or a small paint spot. O f course, before they do they collect any trace evidence from the area.” • An evidence response team member from the FBI: “No. It’s just on TV.” • A forensic chemist at Acadiana Criminalistics Laboratory, New Iberia, Louisiana: “It’s not really done anymore.” We also heard from cops and other crime-scene investigators in Los Angeles, New York City, New York State, Washington State, the District of Columbia, Ohio, North Carolina, New Mexico and a few other places. The story was the same all over. Outlining the body is usually done only in exceptional circum stances — for example, if the victim is still alive and has to be taken to the hospital before examination of the crime scene can be completed. However, we also found this significant
piedfe of evidence: ScenVSf the Crime: A^WrifefFflptfide to Crtrne- '; ■ Scene Investigation (1992) by Anne Wingate (identified in a jacket blurb as having headed the criminal identification section of the police department in Plano, Texas). According to Wingate, as an investigator you should: 1. Walk through the scene with your, hands behind your back. 2. Take all your initial photographs. 3. Take any necessary close-up photos of the corpse, and mark the location of the corpse — with chalk inside, with rope outside — for future reference. Finally we received the following from George Schiro, a foren sic scientist at the Louisiana state police crime lab: “I don’t believe that this practice has been stopped. Uninformed police officers have made chalk outlines around bodies, but this is unnecessary and could potentially contaminate the scene. In addition, it adds a distracting artifact. I have never encountered it at the homicides and deaths I have investigated. I have encountered it in traffic fatalities, except the medium of choice is not chalk, but fluores cent paint. Police officers will sometimes mark evidence and out line parts o f the body to make them more visible in photographs and aid the officers in the scene sketch, especially at night. Usually this is not a problem in terms of evidence, unless the paint gets on the body, the clothing or the evidence being marked. The paint could compromise any trace evidence that might be present (paint, fibers and accelerants). Vernon J. Geberth, in his book Practical Homicide Investigation [1996] makes reference to the “chalk fairy” in two photo captions: “You are not to draw lines around the body at a crime scene unless the body is to be removed. This photo shows evidence that the crime scene had been visited by a chalk fairy. Chalk fairy is a term used to describe mysterious police officers who feel the need to draw lines around the body and then disappear when investiga tors attempt to find out who contaminated the scene.” “Here you see the deceased lying in the position in which he was found. This crime scene photo may possibly be inadmissible. While the first officers were securing the scene, a chalk fairy sud denly had the irresistible impulse to draw chalk lines around the body.” Thanks, George. ’N uff said.

SEVEN DAYS
£<AU K3YJC
"wfX
April 12-18 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Dear Smart Gambler: The fact that you’re attracted to this horoscope is proof that you rank in the top five per centile of the population in express ing quirky intelligence, funny logic and the ability to suspend disbelief. No other group rivals your healthy sense o f absurdity and willingness to use yourself as a guinea pig. I’m sure you’ll do the right thing, then, when I advise you to “stick your neck out but cover your ass.” You’ll no doubt also interpret the following instruc tion correctly: “Keep your feet on the ground as you get your head up in the clouds.”
TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): You’re overflowing with greedy needs, .Taurus. That could either be bad or good, depending on how adeptly you tread the middle path between ruth lessly repressing them and indulging them with gross excess. Given the fact that you’re currently harboring over 10,000 greedy needs, I can’t name them all. However, I’ll begin the list and hope you’ll be inspired to finish it. You desperately, achingly, poign antly require the following: a new mommy substitute, an adrenaline rush, Bach’s Mass in B Minor, a loop hole in the law of gravity, a m ud pud dle up to your ankles, a sweet crying jag, exotic desserts and a spanking administered by hands wearing velvet gloves.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): Lady Godiva was more than a semi nal performance artist. She was also a patron of the arts and a humanitarian who funded the building o f a mona stery. W hen she doffed her clothes and rode a white horse through the English town o f Coventry back in 1057, her purpose w a ^ fJtil^ th m p fe Her husband, the local assessor, had promised to abolish all taxes on the local folk if she did the daring deed. I bring this up, Gemini, to inspire you to take advantage of the ripe astrolog ical possibilities that are now avail able. I believe that you too can
achieve altruistic feats while au naturel. So get out there and bestow erotic blessings, bare your soul, reveal the naked truth — or all three.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Border collies are a type o f dog whose herding behavior has been bred for centuries. Their instinct is so strong that they will not only round up live stock but also cats, children, rabbits, deer, lawn mowers and anything else that moves. Remind you of anyone, Cancerian? It should. You yourself have a primal need to act like a good shepherd these days. I suggest you find a constructive outlet for it. Give extra guidance to the children in your care, for instance, or lavish nurturing leadership on your tribe or gang. Just don’t be lazy about expressing this urge. It would be a shame if you wasted it on herding a gaggle of chocolate Easter bunnies into your mouth.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22): You remind me of Vince, the 11-year-old kid next door, who recently took up skateboarding on the big trampoline his parents set up in the backyard. Like him, you’re trying to travel in two modes simultaneously. (At least you’re being safe about it; you’re not doing the equivalent of, say, thum p ing around on a pogo stick while piloting a Cessna.) W hen Vince first started, he had trouble trying to coor dinate the rolling and the bouncing. Eventually, though, he got the hang of it. I predict that you will also become pretty good at your made-up game. . ...
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Fundamentalist Christians don’t have a lock on the term “born again.” The concept originated in Egyptian mys tery schools 3,000 years ago, and has been a central goal for many practi
tioners of the Western Hermetic tra dition. It refers to a ritual that begins with a metaphorical death. The seeker must give up both her comfortable and painful illusions about life. She has to accept the loneliness that will come from no longer sharing the materialistic perspective of everyone around her. Done right, this surren der catalyzes her dramatic awakening to the living divine presence that throbs just beneath the veil of the everyday world. From darkness and loss come joy and revelation. I nomi nate you, Virgo, as the sign most like ly to be born again this Easter season.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Professor o f religion Elaine Pagels provides an alternative interpretation of what went down in the Garden of Eden. Early Gnostic scriptures, she says, “characterize [Jehovah] as the jealous master, whose tyranny the ser pent taught Adam and Eve to resist.” After studying your astrological aspects, Libra, I’ve come to believe that your current situation has resem blances to this scenario. In years to come, ignorant outsiders may describe your imminent revolution as an unseemly rejection of a genial authority. But you and I will know better: The tempter is your wise and benevolent ally.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Whatever’s wrong with you, it won’t be fixed by punching your pil low or giving your inner child a lol lipop. Your neuroses are too cagey to fall for that simple-minded crap. No, Scorpio, the best possible therapy is for you to meditate on cryptic rid dles. Here’s a flurry of ’em. 1. Refuse gifts that infringe on your freedom. 2. Work for fun. 3. Get a vacuum clean er for your dirty magic carpet. 4. Make your imagination work twice as hard. 3. Look for your lucky number
scrawled on a lightning-killed tree. 6. Speak the language o f love with a wacky accent.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In one of my past lives, I was Christ’s jester. He charged me with the task of making sure he didn’t take himself too seriously. Contrary to the doctrines later forged in his name, he wanted to pass down a reli gion full of wise jokes and liberating foolery. Maybe that explains why I often have laughing fits when I go into churches. Easter in particular always puts me in an uproarious mood. By my astrological calcula tions, Sagittarius, you’re now in a similar state. Your ability to find the breakthrough humor in everything is peaking at the same time as your spir itual clarity.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22Jan. 19): The Official State D irt of my home turf, California, is the silty loam of the San Joaquin Valley. An average acre o f the stuff can generate 60.000 pounds of tomatoes — if, that is, it’s crammed with pesticides, herbicides and fertilizer. W ithout those supplements it’s only moderate ly productive. I’d like to name a more naturally fecund soil as the Official Capricorn Dirt: good old peat moss. It holds water well, is easily workable, contains abundant plant food and warms up quickly in the spring. W ith peat moss as your lucky soil, you’ll be well on your way to fulfilling the promise of this April’s astrological omens. No poisonous additives should be necessary for you tg churn out the metaphorical equivalent of 80.000 pounds of juicy blooms per acre by next August.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The factor most likely to drive us to addiction or insanity is a lack of
| intimate contact with spirit. We all need a daily dose of vastness, 'aradoxically, many of us ould also benefit from a lot more microscopic vision. Because we’re so deprived o f divine cpnnection, we’re half-dreaming all the time; our unconscious yearning for our eternal source makes our minds wander and saps our energy to dig in and master the gritty details right in front of us. W hat I wish for you this week, Aquarius, is that you’ll be eager to grapple with every last nut and bolt. Believe it or not, it will prime you to be more attuned to the vastness you’re missing.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Now and then I meet a wise old woman named Elixo in my dreams. She describes herself as your secret teacher. Last night she instructed me to give you this visualization exercise. Imagine that you have been relieved o f your responsibilities for a month. People you trust will take care of everything. You won’t even have to work to make money, for you’ll be given all you need. Neither will you have to clean your home, wash your clothes, make your food or care for your kids. Here comes the milliondollar question: W hat do you do now that you’re free to do anything you like to do? How do you proceed when you have to do only what you like to do? Elixo says this meditation should guide your quest in the com ing weeks. ®
