Unfortunately such behavior, although easily documented, has n’t received the same attention in the news as the alleged harass ment o f a Guard m ember...

Patricia Ferreira BURLINGTON

FORGIVING GUARD? I found Petie Freyne’s tale about being set up by Rep. Chagnon hilarious! A classic! You see, a middle-aged man approached me as 500 pro-U.S. troops demon strators marched down Pearl St. and asked if he could help hold my “PEA CEN IKS: STO P H A R A SSIN ’ V E R M O N T

the soldier hasn’t stepped for ward, Petie. She’s a forgiving, magnanimous member of our' Armed Services. Now that’s truly American.

G U A RD i/PEA CEN IK S: SA D D A M ’S U SE FU L ID IO T S ” sign. (Which was a spoof on Josef Stalin’s comments about what he thought about the American Socialist Movement — ‘They are my U SE FU L idiots.”) I gladly gave up my bitchy sign since I was content with my other sign — “$$ E L IT IST B U R L IN G T O N : PLEASE M O V E BA CK to B O ST O N N Y -N J-CT in your SAABV O LVO -SUV!” Rep. Chagnon took my sign with a huge smile as he merged happily into the large crowd. And the rest is polit ical-comedy history. Now in response to Freyne’s April 2 “Inside Track” about the “dubious” allegations o f the Vermont Guardswoman about being harassed and stoned by some Twinfield Union High School peacepunks: During the rally a man in a military uniform congratulated me on the now infamous sign and he told me that the Guardswoman may have decided not to press charges against the misguided kiddies because harassing and stoning a member o f the U .S. Military is a Hate Crime under Vermont law with a five-year prison sentence. Phis is the probable reason why

DOLLARS AND DEMOCRACY Aha! Now we know what’s wrong with Burlington [“W hat’s Broken in Burlington?” March 19]! Kathy d w e ll, who cites the European model for school fund ing, feels that we should fund schools as they do in Germany: Let the government decide on the school budgets. So the “budgets are not at the whim o f voters.” Ooh, those pesky voters. Just think, they might upset the utopian programs. Duh. I thought the voter was actually p art o f the whole process. Oh, that’s right. This is Burlington we re talking about. For a minute, I thought the writer was talking about the whole state... But wait a minute: Act 60 actually takes about 60 percent o f the decision process away from the voter anyway. So, that’s why they called it “Act 6 0 .”

SEVEN DAYS I april 16-23, 2003 | in s id e tr a c k 0 7 A

C o m m e n t C a ra

ast Friday, embattled Fletcher Allen Health Care announced via press release the appointment o f eight new members to its tarnished board o f trustees. Fresh blood and a step in the right direction, eh? After all, the previous board o f trustees proved its incompetence by allowing ex-CEO Bill Boettcher & crew to launch a deceitful Renaissance expansion scheme that’s tripled in cost and trampled the trust the community has long had in the Mary Fanny. Clearly, honesty was not the hospitals policy. Unfortunately, there’s evidence this week that it still isn’t. O ut with the old and in with the new has become the hospital’s newest policy. The Mary Fanny’s former administra tive team led by C E O Bill Boettcher is out. So is former Chairman o f the Board

Philip Drumheller. And so are attorneys Allen Martin and David Sylvester o f the hospital’s former law firm — Downs Rachlin Martin. The hospital scandal apparendy speeded Mr. Martin’s retirement. Big Al, a former chair man o f the Republican Party, is no longer even listed on the law firm’s Web site. They’ve been replaced by Spencer Knapp o f Dinse, Knapp & McAndrew. But some things haven’t changed. Buried in the small print o f the press release the hospital issued last Friday was one little sentence that indicates the powers that be on Hospital Hill still don’t get it! The release stated that one o f the individuals previously nominated to a seat on the board had mysteriously with drawn at the last minute: “Paul Perrault, president and chief executive officer o f the Chittenden Bank,” read the release, “has decided not to accept this appointment after further consideration.” “Further consideration,” eh? Just one week earlier, U V M , one o f FA H C’s four “parents,” announced Perrault and former State Sen. Nancy Chard were its nominees to the hospital board. Both choices were widely hailed. Chard chaired the Senate Health and Welfare Committee last year. She knows the playing field well. Perrault’s also C E O and chairman o f the board o f the Chittenden Corpora tion, which owns and operates banks in Maine, Massachusetts and New H am p shire, too. Mr. Perrault is considered quite the financial whiz, and he’s a very personable and community-conscious citizen, too. On Tuesday, we asked board chairman Louise McCarren why Perrault backed out. What was the “further considera tion” all about? McCarren told Seven Days it had been Perrault’s personal decision to withdraw his nomination. “I assume,” she said, “he concluded it was in the best interests o f UVM , Fletcher Allen and the Chittenden Bank.” Unfortunately, Louise wasn’t telling the truth. What Chairman McCarren didn’t know was that Perrault had already told

Seven Days he withdrew his nomination to the hospital board because Louise McCarren personally called him last week and asked him to step aside! “Louise called,” said the banker, “and I was asked to withdraw the nomina tion.” Perrault said McCarren told him that “in their view the bond trusteeship created a conflict.” You see, the Chittenden is the Master Trustee for the $150 million bond issue that’s helping to finance the Renaissance Project. Perrault was not pleased by McCarren’s request. He told Seven Days he was looking forward to helping out the Mary Fanny in its hour o f need. “I am disappointed,” said Perrault. “I thought I could be helpful to them.” As for the conflict-of-interest issue, Mr. Perrault noted, “When you have a small state and large institutions, one has to be thoughtful about dealing with inevitable conflicts.” He does not believe “that the existence o f a potential conflict o f interest should automatically disqualify someone.” Informed o f Mr. Perrault’s comments, Louise quickly changed her tune. She dropped the ruse that it had been Perrault’s decision to step aside. Louise admitted she had personally asked Perrault to drop out. “It is true that I asked him to with draw,” said Ms. McCarren. Better late than never, eh, Louise? McCarren acknowledged that ques tions had been raised, after Perrault had been nominated, about a possible con flict o f interest. The issue first surfaced down Montpeculiar way in a March 28 letter o f inquiry to State Auditor Elizabeth Ready. The letter, obtained by Seven Days, was signed by a six-member bipar tisan group o f legislators: Sens. Bill Doyle (R) and Vince Illuzzi (R) and Reps. Anne Donahue (R), Ann Pugh (D), M ichael Obuchowski (D) and David Zuckerm an (P). The lawmakers raised questions about the bonds sold to finance the Renaissance Project. Specifically, they questioned why the hospital selected a bond underwriter (Harlan Sylvester o f Salom on Sm ith Barney) without competitive bidding. They also wanted to know if it was kosher for Drumheller to serve on the FA H C board while also sitting on the board o f the Chittenden Corporation. As the Master Trustee for the Renaissance bonds, the bank is supposed to be a watchdog. It’s charged with protecting bondholders from fraud and deceit. How does one serve two masters? In a preliminary response issued on April 8, Chainsaw Liz acknowledged the conflict-of-interest problem. Auditor Ready wrote, “It would make good com mon sense for all health care facilities using tax-exempt bond proceeds to adopt and enforce strong conflict-of-interest policies that avoid any appearance o f impropriety.” Ready informed the lawIN S ID E T R A C K »

Curses, Foiled Again

After Leonard Garland and David DeCristofaro crashed a party in Ashland, Massa chusetts, witnesses said that Garland invited one of the hosts to “get high.” When the host showed interest, Garland and DeCristofaro offered him hallucino genic mushrooms and cocaine. As they chatted, Garland and DeCristofaro com plained about a local narcotics cop, Matt Gutwill, calling him a jerk. The host, who was wearing a sweatshirt that read “Burlington Police Academy,” then iden tified himself as Matt Gutwill and arrested the two 20-year-olds.

The family, which had cooked Thai food for the firefighters as a thank-you that morning, watched from the station while their business, located down the street, burned to the ground. The Portland Press Herald reported that investigators suspected the blaze was sparked by electrical frying equipment that had been left on.

First-Commandment Follies Members of New Salem Missionary Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, voted 67-10 to fire the Rev. Stanley B. Hall Sr. for calling a manda tory service on Super Bowl Sunday. Luke Walker, chair of the deacon board, said Hall, pastor of New Salem since 1994, requested that all church deacons and trustees attend the service, which started at kickoff time, then dismissed three deacons and three trustees who failed to show up. “They chose the Super Bowl over this church,” Brenda Axle, one of Hall’s supporters, said.

Police searching for Laci Peterson, 27, who vanished from Modesto, California, on Christmas Eve, said that a grocery store clerk in Longview, Washington, reported seeing the woman a few days later. Unfortunately, the 45-year-old clerk waited nearly a month to notify authorities. She recalled that a pregnant woman came into the store with an older man. When the man stepped out of line to get something he forgot, the clerk said the woman told her, “This is serious, I was kidnapped. Call the authorities when I leave.” The clerk said that she intended to call police but became distracted and forgot. In late January, the clerk was watching CN N and saw a story about Peterson that trig gered her memory.

R oads and Scholars hat’s more important to a child’s education — social studies or school buses? Football or forensics? Libraries or language studies? King Solomon himself would have had some tough choices to make at the April 8 meeting of the Burlington School Board. For the par ents and educators there to plead for the sur vival of the Barnes School, the financial news was mixed. On the bright side, the board got its accounting mojo working to spare the Old North End elementary school from the budg etary axe. The bad news: If tax-revolted voters decide once again to “send a message” to law makers in Montpelier — as the Burlington Free Press advised its readers to do last month — it’ll be Burlington’s schoolchildren who pay the postage. Lest anyone assumes the district has squandered its dough, the board’s Finance

If tax-revolted voters decide once again to "send a mes sage" to lawmakers in Montpelier, it'll be Burlington's schoolchildren who pay the postage. Committee Chairwoman, Katherine Connolly, took a few minutes at the begin ning of the meeting to detail some of the financial blows felt by the district in the last year. Workers’ compensation costs jumped 83 percent. Property and liability insurance went up 125 percent, largely due to fallout from 9/11 and the stock market’s abysmal per formance. Meanwhile, in the last three years the board was forced to cut $1.4 million from its budget — losses that, as Connolly put it, “once they leave, you almost never get back.” The district plans to pre-buy textbooks and supplies in an effort to save some $30,000, though Connolly readily admits, “We’re bor rowing from the future to keep what we have now.” The “Scenario I” budget — in which vot ers approve the latest budget revisions — is already barebones, eliminating four hill-time elementary school teachers at C.P. Smith, Champlain, Barnes and Flynn. But “Scenario II” — if voters defeat this budget as well — reads like an Enron bankruptcy proceeding. No school buses. No winter sports. No librarian in either Burlington middle school. All school buildings will close after 6 p.m. Physical education classes would be cut to one day a week, which would just barely meet the state’s minimum requirement. Tammy Champonneau, a physical education teacher at Champlain Elementary School, observed: “We live in a PlayStation World,” where one in five American children is obese and childhood diabetes has reached epidemic proportions. Scenario II is hazardous to children’s emo tional health as well. It would spell the end of Student Assistance Program counselors, the in-school mental health professionals who help get students into drug and alcohol treat ment programs, counsel them after a sexual

assault and talk them out of committing sui cide. Want a hint about how their loss could impact Burlington? Think Bowlingfor Columbine. The next budget vote is May 20.

Oftentimes, federal highway projects have something in common with the high ways themselves: Most of us will never see them from beginning to end. Such projects can even outlive the careers of the engineers who conceive them. That’s the case with Burlington’s long-awaited Southern Connector, which has been renamed for the 21st century: the “Champlain Park Way.” This old project with the new moniker has been kicking around since Mayor Peter Clavelle graduated high school in 1967. Since then, it’s gone through more makeovers than Michael Jackson, though its original goal remains the same: to relieve traffic con gestion in the southern part of Burlington. For more than a decade, the feds considered building an elevated, four-lane highway up Battery Street along Lake Champlain. But in 1983 the “fortuitous” listing of the Pine Street Barge Canal as a federal Superfiind site effectively killed any chance of that concrete nightmare becoming a reality. By 1998, the Vermont Agency of Transportation had final ly washed its hands of the project and passed the torch to the Burlington Department of Public Works, where it’s been simmering since. Earlier this month, Mayor Clavelle and representatives from the Department of Public Works met with folks from the South End Arts and Business Association to update them on the project’s current status: a twolane version instead of four, with 10-foot bike lanes, buried utility lines, a greenbelt and a redesigned train yard. Not surprisingly, there’s a new price tag as well: $35 million, 98 percent of which will be picked up by the federal government. Construction is expected to begin in the summer of 2004. Holding the meeting at Speeder & Earl’s on Pine Street may not have been the first choice of Public Works Director Steven Goodkind. As he joked, “Whose idea was this, to bring in a bunch of people, crank them up on caffeine and talk about high ways?” Even the scaled-down version is giving some local business owners the jitters. “If we have a whole season of construction, the Pine Street businesses couldn’t handle it. They’ll put us all out of business,” says Jessica Workman, owner of Speeder & Earl’s. Another local business owner claims he can’t sell his business because the Southern Connector creates too much uncertainty. Justin Rabidoux, a Public Works engineer and not a politician, fielded the questions — and a considerable amount of flak — with grace. He reminded business owners that the feds have a program to reimburse them for any losses they incur from the construction, a comment received with guarded skepticism. A draft Environmental Impact Study is being sent to the Federal Highway Administration in June, and the public is invited to com ment. For more info, contact Public Works at 863-9094. ®

THE PUZZLE

• As you can guess from her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to pre dict. Her preferences changefrom one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Note: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them— how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.) Fannie avoids the salon because she pays much less for a haircut at the BARBER shop. She had to keep Nippy, her pet badger, in a CAGE until he learned to behave. Fannie called her boyfriend a PISTON but what she meant to say was pistol. After 108 therapy SESSIONS, Fannie realized the only difference in her life was her depleted bank account. When she took her niece Gilda to the zoo, the GIBBONS were devilishly lewd. The sweater she was knitting got all tangled up, so she had to RAVEL out the yam. When a woman wants to rope in a man, says her ex, what begins as a LASSO ends up as a noose. People who live in GLASS houses don't undress. Fannie's great aunt was eating calamari on the Titanic when it bopped the BERG.

Capitol C o m ed y?

ay, did you hear the one about George W. Bush? Seems the president went to a library recently, walked up to the reference desk and said in a loud, clear voice, the kind he uses when addressing the troops, “I’ll have a cheeseburger and fries.” “Sir,” said the librarian, obviously shocked, “this is a library!” “Oh,” said Bush, lowering his voice to a whisper: “Shhh! I ’l l have a cheeseburger and fries. ” Not funny? How about this: Seems that Bush was out golfing the other day when he noticed an old man with a long, white beard and a white robe standing on the fair way. “That looks like Moses!” said Bush, who, as everyone knows, is deeply religious. Quickly approaching the stranger, he asked, “Are you Moses?” There was no reply. The man looked away. “Hmm!” said the Commander-in-Chief,

Rummy insists that words like "anarchy" and "law lessness" are the wrong ones to use, "unrepresentative of the situation in Iraq" and "absolutely ill-chosen." scratching his head. “I could have sworn that was Moses.” He turned to a Secret Service agent. “Go find out if that’s Moses, on the double!” he barked. The agent complied. “The Leader of the Free World wants to know if you’re Moses,” said the bodyguard — menacingly, we can assume. The old man sighed, looked quickly from left to right, and answered, “Well, yes. But the last time I talked to a Bush I ended up wandering in the desert for 40 years.” Yuk, yuk, yuk — I gotta million o f ’em! But maybe the truth is funnier than the jokes. Here’s Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, complaining last week about press coverage of the “widespread looting” — read: sheer pandemonium, terror and chaos — in Iraq’s capital city o f Baghdad. “It’s untidy,” Rumsfeld conceded, jabbing his hand in the air at an imaginary enemy, “and freedom’s untidy. Free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things.” Rummy insists that words like “anarchy” and “lawlessness” are the wrong ones to use, “unrepresentative of the situa tion in Iraq” and “absolutely ill-chosen.” “I picked up a newspaper today and I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “I read eight headlines that talked about chaos, violence, unrest. And it just was Henny Penny... ‘The sky is falling.’” I think he means Chicken Little, but never mind: Chicken Little sounds too much like “Chickenhawk,” and that might get peo ple wondering how we got into this mess. “I’ve never seen anything like it!” Rums- feld went on. “And here is a country that’s being liberated, here are people who are going from being repressed and held under the thumb of a vicious dictator, and they’re

free. And all this newspaper could do, with eight or 10 headlines, they showed a man bleeding, a civilian, who they claimed we had shot — one thing after another. It’s just unbelievable.” Amen, brother. It was unbelievable when you started this war and it’s unbelievable now that you’re “ending” it and moving on to Syria. The Guardian o f London com pares Rummy’s tirade to “the Iraqi informa tion minister who assured the world that all was well even as battles raged visibly around him” — yuk, yuk, yuk! “The images you are seeing on television you are seeing over and over and over,” says Rumsfeld, “and it’s the same picture of some person walking out of some building with a vase, and you see it 20 times, and you think, ‘My goodness, were there that many vases? Is it possible that there were that many vases in the whole country?’” Well, maybe there were, although I expect most of them are now shattered in pieces, like the rest of Iraq’s “infrastructure,” or stolen for the international art market during the wanton, anarchic, chaotic — forgive me — destruction of buildings, hos pitals, schools and Baghdad’s National Museum. An employee turned up there for work on Saturday — again, according to The Guardian — and found the museum’s administrative offices completely trashed and most of its antiquities missing: “The only thing she could salvage was a tele phone book... She refused to give her name. With tears, she said, ‘It is all the fault of the Americans. This is Iraq’s civilization. And it’s all gone now.’” Crybabies! If that’s how they really felt about their country and their heritage they’d have dumped Saddam a long time ago and not made the brave men and women of our armed forces do it for them. This is why we have to put our own people in power over there — yuk, yuk, yuk! Another one whd’s completely unmoved by all the things that aren’t happening in Iraq — chaos, anarchy, slaughter, etc. — is Barbara Bush, the First Mom, who last week, dressed in her trademark pearls, told ABC News that she never watches television. “I read books,” says Bar, “because I know perfectly well that — don’t take offense — that 90 percent of what I hear on television is supposition, when we’re talking about the news... Why should we hear about body bags and deaths and how many, what day it’s going to happen, and how many this or what do you suppose? Oh, I mean, it’s not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on some thing like that?” Yuk, yuk, double yuk. On the same day, while giving a speech at Ashland University, Mrs. Bush was asked which American politician she admired the most. “George Bush,” she said, and the room exploded in laughter. “As I watch him guide our country through this very difficult time,” said Dubya’s mom, “I can’t help but wonder, ‘Is this the same kid I used to spank?’” Not hard enough, Bar, not hard enough. Yuk, yuk, yukkety-yuk. Yuck. ®

KCCHALKFV

-BY CECIL ADAMS ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

Dear Cecil, What’s the Straight Dope on handwriting analysis? I know that handwriting experts’ testimony can be accepted in court, so there must be something to it. But I have a hard time believing that a smart criminal wouldn’t be able to change his writing to avoid detection. On a related issue, can an “expert” really tell something about your personalityfrom your handwriting (e.g, that loops in your gs andy’s indicate a high sex drive)? I f that were true, it would seem that one’s handwriting would changefrom day to day, which it doesn’t. — Kristin Sausalito, California At first this question might seem like a great opportu nity to lay out the difference between science and pseu doscience. On the one hand we have forensic handwrit ing analysis, in which an expert decides whether two or more samples were written by the same person, e.g., whether a signature was forged. On the other we have graphology, in which some sage tries to divine a subjects personality traits from his or her handwriting. While graphology enjoys about the same prestige as palm reading, forensic handwriting analysis has helped send people to jail since the days of the Lindbergh kid napping. But in the eyes of the law, the credibility of such analysis is on the wane. Thanks to a landmark Supreme Court ruling in the early ’90s, more and more federal judges are deciding that while forensic handwriting analy sis may not be quackery, it’s not exactly science, either. More than 200 objective scientific studies have demonstrated that graphology is worthless as a predictor of personality. That hasn’t prevented people who ought to know better from relying on it. In France, an estimat ed 70 percent of companies use graphology when mak ing hiring decisions. (Between 5 and 10 percent of U.S. and UK companies do so.) Law enforcement authorities sometimes turn to graphology and kindred techniques when profiling criminals, as in the case of the D.C. sniper last fall. But such methods are often the last resort of police desperate to appear to be doing something.

There’s only one well-documented case of a bad guy actually being caught by a profile — George Metesky, the “Mad Bomber” of New York City in the 1940s and ’50s — and he was nabbed less because of his handwrit ing than because he’d revealed too many clues about his past in a letter to a newspaper. For a long time forensic handwriting analysis seemed more respectable, but its status has been shaky since 1993, when the Supreme Court handed down its ruling in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals. Previously the chief criterion for the admissibility of expert testimo ny had been whether it was based on techniques “gener ally accepted” by scientists. Daubert gave federal judges much greater discretion in deciding admissibility. It sug gested they consider (1) whether a theory or technique can be tested, (2) whether it’s been subject to peer ' review, (3) whether standards exist for applying the tech nique and (4) the technique s error rate. Sounds reasonable, eh? But Daubert created an uproar, because the dirty little secret of much so-called expert testimony was this: Though it was possible in principle to test and validate most forensic techniques, in many cases no one had ever done so. In 2002 one judge even restricted testimony based on fingerprint analysis, saying he was unconvinced the technique was a science rather than a mix of craft and guesswork. No forensic technique has taken more hits than handwriting analysis. In one particularly devastating fed eral ruling, United States v. Saelee (2001), the court noted that forensic handwriting analysis techniques had seldom been tested, and that what testing had been done “raises serious questions about the reliability of methods cur rently in use.” The experts were frequently wrong — in one test “the true positive accuracy rate of laypersons was the same as that of handwriting examiners; both groups were correct 52 percent of the time.” The most basic principles of handwriting analysis — for example, that everyone’s handwriting is unique — had never been demonstrated. “The technique of com paring known writings with questioned documents appears to be entirely subjective and entirely lacking in controlling standards,” the court wrote. Testimony by the government’s handwriting expert was ruled inadmissible. Prosecutors scrambling to find scientific validation for handwriting analysis last year touted a study by Sargur Srihari, a professor of computer science at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Srihari subjected 1500 writing samples to computer analysis. Conclusion: In 96 percent of cases, the writer of a sample could be positively identified based on quantitative features of his handwriting such as letter dimensions and pen pressure. Skeptics objected that lab results using a computer prove nothing about what a human can do in the real world, and who can argue? If expert testimony is going to send people up the river, it better be more than some mope’s prejudices dressed up as science. C E C IL ADAM S

Thomasville's ad is the loopiest thing on the tube since that delusional Iraqi Information Minister's final press conferences. Here's why: The company thinks you want your house to look like Ernest Hemingway lives there!

THE COLLECTION OF A LIFETIME

hy'lhonmsviUe dios keep paying the actor exorbitant sums to make one disappointing dumbathon after another. And, no, the silly thing I’m refer ring to wasn’t the April 4 episode o f Dr. Phil. “Living With the War, Part 2 ” found everybody’s favorite litigation-consultant-turned-self-helpguru asking antiwar protesters whether they believe their actions could be used by the Iraqi leadership to embolden enemy troops and thereby endanger U.S. soldiers. Most o f the talking was done by a woman, Medea, who offered this astonishing statement: “The Iraqi people can take care o f this situation them selves.” Really? They couldn’t take care o f one statue themselves. The moment was so funny I literally for got to laugh. Such are the hazards o f working at home that I am frequently lured from the iMac or telephone by that 27-inch seductress in the adjoining room. All too often I give in to her stereo siren song, telling myself it’s just to clear away the cobwebs before I get back to business. It was during one such clearing expedition that I came across the real subject o f this month’s column. With the children safely delivered to their institutions o f learning, I sat down in my favorite chair intending to quiedy quaff a mug o f Colombian and catch up on developments in Baghdad.

than advertisements for furniture. I can’t recall seeing even one that used humor to entice me to buy its prod ucts. Car makers do it. So do manu-

that delusional Iraqi Information Minister’s final press conferences. Here’s why: The company thinks you want your house to look like Ernest Hemingway lives there! “The Ernest Hemingway Collec tion by Thomasville is a tribute to this man among m en,” the ad copy explains. “Drawing upon the places he lived and loved, each piece o f the Ernest Hemingway Collection puts us in touch with the influences at work on this great author.” Gee, I hope not, because the only things currently working on this great author are worms. The poor guy’s been in the ground since 1961. You’d think a company that would put out a line o f furniture commem orating a great author would take a few seconds to check its grammar — if not to pay tribute to a literary giant, at least to keep the rest o f us from being grossed out. Is this not the wackiest idea you’ve heard in a long while? And never mind Papa being six feet under, I seriously doubt many people are going to want their homes to reflect his influences. In fact, I doubt anybody could stop laughing long enough to place an order. After all, the author’s primary influences included scarring battlefield experi ence, an out-of-control libido, alco holism and a depression that ulti mately influenced him to decorate his own walls with bits o f his brains. The man among men Thomasville means to evoke is, o f course, a highly romanticized one. The collection is a cartoon medley o f tables adorned by metal swordfish, woven-cane dining sets with African motifs and beds that hark back to “the luxuriously decadent Havana o f Hemingway’s time,” whatever that means. Since he was a Nobel Laureate who got around, Hemingway’s line also includes products reminiscent o f Key West, Paris and, o f course, Ketchum, Idaho — “a rugged place for a rugged m an.” Thomasville acci dentally gets something right when it describes some o f the woods and leathers incorporated into the Ketchum series as “rich” and “dis-

designed to exploit our fondness for a dead cultural icon whose achieve ments had nothing whatsoever to do with home decor: “ Humphrey Bogart is an American icon that has endured the passage o f time,” announces the lat est ad campaign with Thomasville’s typically defective grammar. “ He defined an era that brought class to casual nonchalance. Now you too can experience the feeling o f Bogart’s era in your own home. Who else but Thomasville could actually bring leg endary style like this back to life?” Who else would even try? And what will the company think o f next? A line o f seedy, threadbare divans and recliners inspired by the down-and-out lifestyle o f beer-swilling L.A. poet Charles Bukowski? Or how about the Bill Clinton Exec utive Office Ensemble featuring a fully reclinable chair, pull-out sofas treated with stain-resistant Scotchguard, and a desk that converts to a wet bar with monogrammed decanters and tumblers of, yep, blown glass. And what true music fan wouldn’t beat it into his or her very own Michael Jackson bed? Forget kingsized. This one’s King o f Pop-sized. Because “the most loving thing to do is to share your bed with someone.” And the more the merrier! Especially when your bed comes equipped with an ice cream and soda dispenser, pop corn maker, cotton-candy machine and fully functioning ATM for pay ing off suspicious moms and dads! Last but not least, why not a col lection commemorating that goofball Iraqi Information Minister himself? Hey, the nations o f the Coalition may have contributed humanitarian relief during this war, but Muhammed Saeed al-Sahhaf shouldered the comic relief effort all by himself. In keeping with his loose grip on reali ty, Thomasville’s line would be com posed o f sumptuous, elegantly appointed but completely imaginary pieces for the dining area, home office and parlor. The bedroom too, o f course. Perfect for resting in peace. ®

makers she’s conducting further investigations into the matter. McCarren told Seven Days on Monday that neither Auditor Ready nor the six inquiring leg islators had anything to do with her decision to bounce Mr. Perrault. Instead, she said, she got the word o f a potential conflict “sometime last week” from FA H C ’s new legal beagle Spencer Knapp. “Spencer said, ‘Uh-oh, we’ve got an issue here,”’ said McCarren. Rep. Anne Donahue has been the leading whistle-blower on the Renaissance scandal. The Northfield Republican told Seven Days she was pleased to see Mr. Perrault withdraw. “We had a lot o f concerns when we heard he was a nomi nee,” said Donahue, “because it was stepping exactly into the * same conflict that Mr. Drumheller had.” Donahue described it as “a tremendous conflict that people didn’t perceive immediately. My understanding is there was con cern within the hospital as well and that it took some pressure, but he did step back, and I think that’s a very wise thing.” Incidentally, Jo h n Crowley, the new commissioner o f Banking, Insurance, Securities and Health Care Administra tion (BISH CA ), is taking a very close look at the Renaissance project. Crowley’s issued a “Show Cause Order” asking the hospital to explain why he shouldn’t shut the project down given all the lying and deceit that’s gone by the boards. In fact, Crowley has ordered FA H C officials to henceforth sign an oath when submitting information to BISH CA , stipu lating that the information they provide the state is “true, accu» rate and complete.” Crowley told Seven Days he expects to issue a decision sometime next week. P.S. Needless to say, Fletcher Allen is a hot topic in political circles. All kinds o f rumors are flying, including many that involve FA H C ’s cozy relation ship over the years with IDX, the South Burlington medical software giant. Until recently two ID X big wigs, Ritchie Tarrant and Henry Tufo, sat on the hospital board. Meanwhile, the hospital was doing millions o f dollars worth o f business with IDX. Last year we reported on the coincidental timing between the awarding o f an $ 11 million soft ware contract (concealed from state regulators) to ID X and the announcement that Tarrant and ID X co-founder Bob Hoehl had each pledged $1.5 million to the Renaissance Campaign. This week we asked Chair man McCarren if the ID X boys had ponied up the cash yet. “Even if I knew, I wouldn’t tell you,” replied Ms. M cCar ren. “Donor gifts are private matters.” But Louise, we countered, FA H C issued a press release last

year bragging about the generos ity o f the ID X philanthropists. It’s hardly a private matter. Ms. McCarren informed us she had another appointment. The conversation abruptly ended. Bye-bye, Louise?

Deanwatch 2004 — If we’ve heard it once, we’ve heard it a dozen times: Now that Iraq has been conquered by George W. Bush, isn’t antiwar presidential candidate Howard Dean all washed up? Good question. In addition, those who fol low the race closely are chatter ing this week about two little words H o-H o uttered at the Children’s Defense Fund forum in Foggy Bottom last week. “We need to contain Saddam. We should have con tained Saddam ,” said Dr. Dean. “We got rid o f him. I suppose that’s a good thing.” You suppose? Kirk to Enterprise, beam him up! Dean’s political adversaries are having fun with that one. Too bad Ho-Ho hadn’t been a little sharper. Maybe all that travel is taking its toll. Anyone who caught him on Ch. 3 ’s “You Can Quote Me” on Sunday saw a guy who desper ately needed some sleep. A rested H o-H o might have said something along the lines of: Hey, I said from Day One — S ad d am H u ssein was not an r, imminent threat to the United States o f America. A nd I said the war would be over quickly, since Iraq’s arm ed forces were no match fo r ours. Well, guess what? I was right. The danger in the president’s policy was not that we’d lose the war, or take catastrophic losses. Let’s face it, the New Hampshire N ational Guard would have been a tougher foe than Iraq’s Repub lican Guard. The danger o f the Bush policy was that we would destabilize the region, promote anti-American hatred throughout the Arab world an d beyond, and needlessly bum diplomatic bridges with long standing allies that took a century to build. We’ve toppled Saddam, but what have we gained in the War on Terrorism? Where are a ll the weapons o f mass destruction? Where, Mr. President, is O sam a bin L ad en , the architect o f 9/11? Surely, you remember him? Congratulations to the Pentagon fo r a job well done, but the ques tion each and every American must ask is: “Am I any safer today than I was a month ago?” Unfortunately, Ho-Ho didn’t say that, but he could have. The next “biggie” on the schedule is a May 3 nationally televised debate from Columbia, South Carolina. Mark your cal endars. All nine Democratic hopefuls will be there. Meanwhile, Dean’s campaign organization is outgrowing the diaper stage. Word from H .Q . is that Dean for America has run out o f space at its down-

Free At Last? — The 26 anti war protesters who occupied the Burlington offices o f Sens. Patrick Leahy and Jim Je ffo rd s on April 3 will not be getting their day in court. When the senators’ offices closed for the day, the protesters refused to leave. Civil disobedi ence was their goal. They want ed to be arrested. But Burlington Police are spread a little thin these days, with the demands o f airport security and all. So instead o f a bunch o f blue uniforms with handcuffs, Lt. Em m et Helrich turned on his trademark charm. Helrich told us that he assured the protesters they could consider themselves arrested. He took down their names and addresses and promised to mail them crim inal citations in a few days. Talk about a win-win, eh? But things didn’t unfold as promised. Chittenden County State’s Attorney Bob Sim pson prefers to devote his energies to prosecuting rapists, child abusers, thieves and dope dealers. Wrote Lt. hfeirich: “After consultation with the two groups, many o f you decid ed that you would not voluntar ily leave the offices though being asked to do so. We then agreed that I would forward citations to you for a future court appearance to answer the charge o f unlawful trespass, in violation o f 23 VSA 3705. The penalty portion o f the charge could result in a term o f impris onment o f not more than three months and a fine o f $500.00. “I met with Robert V. Simpson, who is the Chittenden County States Attorney. After being informed o f the nature o f the offense, Mr. Simpson has said that his office declines to prosecute in this matter. “In light o f Mr. Simpson’s decision, this department will take no further action.” “We got fooled!” said pro tester Ron M anganiello. Manganiello told Seven Days the protesters had agreed to vacate the senators’ offices only if they got arrested. Lt. Helrich granted their wish, he said. He told them the citations would be 1‘in the mail,” and they hap pily departed. Manganiello described Lt. Sweetness as “pretty clever” and “a great guy.” He said the peace protesters “really did enjoy him.” But Manganiello said they’ve since received legal advice informing them that one must be issued a citation at the scene o f the crime to be officially arrested. What do you got to do to get pinched in this town? “It’s not the easiest thing to do,” replied Manganiello, the peace activist. Hey, better luck next time. Demand handcuffs! ®

RICK SHARP

s winter reluctantly releases its icy grip on northwestern Vermont, the valley floors o f the Green Mountains begin to heat up, creating those desirable thermal updrafts that let Rick Sharp soar like a bird. A 50year-old paragliding instructor from Colchester, Sharp has been taking to the air in non-motorized flight for more than 20 years. Beginning in 1980 as a hangglider pilot, he bought a 900-foot training hill in southern Milton known as Cobble Hill where he could teach others to fly. But when a single disastrous crash off the knobby hillside in 1989 revealed its limi tations as a hang-gliding launch site — the slope was too steep for landing — Sharp discovered it was ideal for a newly emerging air sport: paragliding. Over the years Sharps flights have not always been trouble-free. In 1996, he launched off a rock cliff in Mexico in a heavy wind. Within 30 seconds, he hit turbulence, his glider deflated and he crashed into the mountainside, severely breaking a leg and leaving him with per manent nerve damage. Still, these days he is less likely to talk about spills than thrills: the peace, the tranquility and the adrenaline rush that comes from the unparalleled sensation o f flight. Unlike the gear used in hang gliding, which requires a vehicle to transport a heavy, rigid-framed glider to the top o f a mountain, a paraglider is a collapsible aerofoil canopy similar in design to the rectangular parachutes used in skydiving. Weighing about 40 to 50 pounds, includ ing the harness and reserve chute, the whole shebang folds down to the size o f a large backpack and can be carried easily on foot to any launch site. “That’s the great thing about paragliders,” says Sharp. “You fold them up, put them in a pack, stick your thumb out and hitchhike home.” In contrast to a skydiving harness, whose snug fit serves as a constant reminder o f one’s manhood or woman hood, paragliding harnesses are looser, bet ter padded and more comfortable — like a cross between a backpack and a camping chair, fitted with waist and leg straps. A paraglider is steered much the way a sky diving parachute is steered, using two hand-held brake cords which create drag that turns the glider right or left, or, when pulled simultaneously, “stalls” the glider wing and allows it to descend. Paraglider pilots lean into each turn to maximize their momentum and minimize the amount o f altitude lost. Paragliders are launched on foot from the side o f a mountain slope. In stronger wind, the pilot faces the mountain (a reverse launch) and in lighter wind, faces downhill (a forward launch). The pilot raises the canopy overhead to inflate it in the wind, then runs downhill until reach

ing a wind speed sufficient to become air borne. Once in the air, a flight can last any where from a few seconds to several hours, carrying a glider from a dozen yards to many miles from the launch site, depend ing upon leath er conditions and the pilot’s abilities. The whole idea o f paragliding is to stay aloft as long as possi ble — water and bathroom breaks notwithstanding. As with any human endeavor to fly, learning to paraglide requires developing an “air sense.” That is, becoming aware of the constantly changing conditions around you: the gusts and lulls in the thermals that can carry a pilot 10,000 feet or more into the atmosphere^,the forma tion o f clouds that indicate where ther mals and other weather cells are forming, the position o f the sun, the speed and direction o f the wind and so on. Since the forces o f nature that actually keep the glider aloft remain largely invisi ble, paragliding enthusiasts develop a keen eye for other weather indicators: the flut tering o f flags, the swaying o f trees on a ridge top, the movement o f smoke columns from chimneys and smokestacks and the behavior o f hawks and crows who seek out those same thermals to carry them skyward. May through August is generally the best time for paragliding in Vermont. In this region, clouds tend to form at alti tudes o f 6000 to 8000 feet, so glider pilots generally don’t fly much higher than that. Flying into the clouds is dangerous, fool ish and illegal, as a pilot can quickly encounter turbulence, become disoriented or crash into a mountainside. Practically speaking, glider pilots rarely venture high er than 12,000 feet without oxygen, since the thinner air begins to affect their deci sion-making abilities. And the FAA pro hibits them from straying above 17,999 feet, primarily to prevent them from becoming windshield splatter on passing 747s. Inevitably, a good paragliding pilot also masters not only the fundamentals of micrometeorology, but also another essen tial skill: patience. As one paragliding pilot put it, “Some days you do a lot more ‘para-waiting’ than anything else.” There’s a common saying among pilots: You’d much rather be on the ground wishing you were in the air than in the air wishing you were on the ground. Eventually, a paraglider becomes profi cient at riding the thermals, and may move on to cross-country traveling, or climbing high enough to catch a wind current that will carry the glider longer distances. Sharp’s longest flight was only 10 miles, but he notes, “If you get high enough on the right day, you can hop from cloud to cloud and go 30, 40, 50

s: F miles from the site you launched from .” Since paragliders don’t need as large a landing area as hang gliders and don’t require a designated landing zone, they’re free to stray farther. Some clubs across the country even hold annual competitions to see who can fly the most miles in a year. One o f the other attractions o f para gliding is the relative ease and swiftness with which the sport can be learned com pared to other aerial sports. Assuming weather conditions are right, says Sharp, his students will literally get their feet o ff the ground.their first day out. A one-day lesson to achieve the “Para I” certification runs about $125 and will provide a stu dent with three to 15 flights, depending upon their abilities. Obtaining a “Para II” certification — which allows someone to fly solo without an instructors supervision — requires a bit more time and money. It costs about $750 and requires a minimum of 25 flights, including eight hours o f ground training and displaying a profi ciency at various maneuvers. New gear — glider, harness, reserve chute and helmet — can be purchased for about $4000. One etiquette tip to keep in mind: Avoid the embarrassing fau x pas o f refer ring to the sport as “parasailing.” That’s the amusement park-type ride in which a passenger — often with a beer in hand — is harnessed to a parachute, tethered to a motorboat and dragged around a lake, occasionally splashing down, swallowing water and bugs and bellowing like a drunken moose. In contrast, paragliding is a serious sport that requires training, pilot

certification and a commitment o f time, effort and money. As for which air sport is safer, hang gliding or paragliding, that depends upon who you ask. Sharp will make a case for the latter. But hang-gliding pilots say they are safer because their gliders have a rigid air fragie that holds up better in turbu lence, while a paraglider is more prone to collapse. Hang gliders travel at faster speeds, making them more stable in tur bulence and able to soar more quickly from one thermal to the next. Then again, traveling faster also means hang gliders can land harder and require a larger landing zone. And crashing into trees in a paraglider usually results in little more than a few wasted hours spent get ting untangled. In a hang glider, a tree landing can prove deadly. That said, recent advances in materials and design in the past 10 years have made both sports con siderably safer and easier to learn. Enthus iasts o f both hang gliding and paragliding say their sports are about as safe as scuba diving or sky diving — and much less dangerous than driving an interstate high way after happy hour. Like any airborne recreational activity, paragliding is not without risk. Although gliders are required to be certified at a novice and intermediate level, paragliding is largely self-regulated by members o f the U .S. Hang Gliding Association. Like the harness, glider and reserve parachute you lug to the top o f the mountain, your per sonal safety rests almost entirely on your own shoulders. ®

ADELAIDE TY R O L M URPHY

ast week, I saw my lawn for the first time in almost six months and breathed in the stench o f moldering grass as if it were the smell o f baking bread. All over the state, Vermonters dashed about the outdoors coatless, some even in shortsleeves, giddy over the sustained thaw. This isn’t mature spring, but mock printemps. The differ ence? In April, there’s no mad swatting at the air, no conniption o f upper-arm and lower-calf slaps, no angry scratching: in short, no bugs. But this insect vacuum won’t last; already I’ve noticed the low buzz o f newly hatched flies in my lawn. And it won’t be long before the mosqui toes arrive. Mosquitoes are more than a nuisance, unfortunately; in recent years, they have emerged as the main transmitters o f West Nile Virus (W NV). In humans, the dis ease can cause symptoms ranging from headaches and high fever to coma and paralysis, and in rare cases, death. So far, only one person has contracted the virus in Vermont, and that case was not fatal. Even so, as a preventative measure, mos quito-managers work throughout the year to keep the mosquito population down, and to capture and test mosquitoes for the virus. One o f the primary people doing skeeter surveillance in Vermont is state entomologist Jon Turmel. During the summer, his job is “85 per cent outdoors” managing mosquitoes. Though there’s still a thick crust o f snow outside when I meet him, the blue jeans and tough-looking leather boots he wears under his lab coat suggest he’s ready to bound into a swamp at a m oments notice.

When Turmel sets out to collect mos quitoes, he goes sans repellent, with his sleeves rolled up and his arms bared for a “bite count.” He allows mosquitoes to gorge themselves for a full minute, keep ing a tally o f his patrons. He’s had 200 mosquitoes alight on him in a minute, he says. “And that’s not counting my back.” I can think o f more pleasant ways to spend the summer, but Turmel loves his job.. The way the general public arrests mos quitoes — squishing them in a loud, satis factory slap — doesn’t lend itself to Tunnels West Nile Virus project. The bugs get mutilated beyond recognition, and the virus breaks down once the insect expires. Nor can entomologists capture . insects with chopsticks a la Karate Kid. So how are mosquitoes ensnared? There are two types o f mosquito traps. The first is baited with dry ice, as mosqui toes are attracted to carbon dioxide. The bugs caught in this trap usually haven’t had a blood meal. To capture sated mos quitoes, Turmel uses a trap designed to lure gravid females ready to lay their eggs. Stagnant manure-water attracts the bugs, and a cylindrical gray tube with a fan in it — a miniature vent — sucks them into a net. The unlucky insects are then sorted by species into groups o f 250, pulverized and distilled. The resultant essence o f mosqui to is tested for West Nile Virus. The process often extends into the winter, as “speciation” is time-consuming. The signa ture characteristic that distinguishes a species is often minute, a matter o f micro- j scopic leg-joints and hairs.

M osquitoes catch West Nile Virus from feeding on infected birds. When a virus-bearing insect bites a human, the virus can enter the bloodstream. About 20 percent o f those infected with W N V develop flu-like symptoms that subside on

their own. Fatal cases usually occur in people over 50 or with compromised immune systems. Since 1999, 39 states have reported human instances o f WNV, including Vermont. Turmel approaches mosquito popula

tion control from an environmentalist point o f view. Like many in his generation — he’s 50 —r he was heavily influenced by Rachel Carson’s’ Silent Spring. The state’s pest-management program relies on “Vectobac,” a larvicide whose active ingre dient — Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis — produces a protein crystal that dissolves in the exact Ph o f a mosquito gut. The crys tal eats away at the stomach lining, and the insect dies o f blood poisoning. Turmel stresses that the bacteria is fly-specific: It can hurt black flies and mosquitoes, but “nothing else can digest it.” Even with the state’s mosquito-manage ment, Turmel says, the insects are sure to remain abundant. You can lessen your chances o f being bitten by wearing light colors, using DEET-based repellents, and staying indoors around sunrise and sunset. When I visit his lab to see where mos quitoes are stored and tested, Turmel steers me towards the only live specimens in-house; an aquarium with Madagascar hissing roaches. Turmel says the word “roaches” with the kind o f relish most people reserve for “creme caramel." These bugs are brown, fat and shiny. Turmel uses them for show-and-tell when he visits schools. “People like to handle big bugs,” he says with a light, quick laugh. “When I go to schools, kids’ eyes light up.” Describing the parameters o f his job, Turmel says, modestly, “I’m an economic entomologist. I deal with pests that are o f economic importance.” Though this dis tinction excludes pursuing specimens such as the flesh-eating carrion-beetle — which falls within the realm o f forensic entomol ogy — his field is hardly narrow. He’s been called in to look at massive cock roach infestations, bedbugs, flesh-burrow ing catde grubs, and even delusionary par asitosis — when people imagine that they are being bitten by insects. Whatever else you might call Tunnel's work, it’s never boring. Though others heap opprobrium upon insects, they com mand Turmel’s respect, curiosity and per petual enthusiasm. With some satisfaction, he says, “There isn’t an aspect o f your life that isn’t affected one way or another by these guys.” That fact will be easier to remember when the warm weather really takes hold, and the subjects o f Turmel’s fascination come out in full force. ®

ately, when people ask me what’s new, I tell them I’ve been hunting for buried treasure. This is not exactly true — actual ly I’ve been geocaching. But treasure hunt ing sounds daring and mysterious. “Geo caching” sounds vaguely scientific, or just STORY plain vague. “W hat’s geocaching?” people CATH Y inevitably ask. RESM ER Geocaching is a 21st-century game o f hide-and-seek, using Global Positioning I MAGES System (GPS) receivers rather than fraying C R O W B A IT maps. It’s a lot like hunting for buried treasure, except the treasure, or “cache,” isn’t buried — it’s hidden. And there are no gold doubloons. Caches mainly consist o f things people don’t mind losing, like key chains, Matchbox cars and cheap Mardi Gras coins. For geocachers, it’s finding, not looting and pillaging, that’s fun. So fun that in the past three years, geocaching has become a worldwide sport, thanks to the Internet and a growing sub culture o f technogeeks who need a reason to turn off the computer and get some fresh air. The great thing about geocaching is that anyone can do it. Well, anyone with access to the Internet and a handheld GPS receiver. It’s the receiver that differentiates geocaching from good old-fashioned treas ure hunts, and it is what pirates might call “an unfarrrr advantage.” You punch in your treasure’s coordinates and the GPS personal navigator will guide you there. You can buy a GPS unit at a sporting goods store for about $100. This is actually pretty amazing considr ering what GPS technology was designed to do. It was invented by the wacky, funloving folks at the U.S. Department o f Defense. They built the satellite network upon which GPS receivers depend. These satellites transmit signals, enabling earthbound receivers to fix latitudinal and lon gitudinal coordinates accurate within one to 15 meters, depending on the strength o f the signal. The $12 billion project had a sinister purpose — to improve the timihg and'accuracy should they need to launch Inter-Conti nental Ballistic Missiles. Naturally, the U .S. military didn’t want just any old shmo using its fancy system, so it “degraded” the satellite signals avail able to non-military users. This meant that your handheld GPS would be accu rate within about 100 meters — too wide a range for a precision sport like geo caching.

On May 1, 2000, President Bill Clinton ended signal degradation. On May 3, someone placed the first cache. In July 2000, geocachers Jeremy Irish and Mike Teague started the official Web site, www.geocaching.com. Today it lists 49,071 caches in all 50 states and 169, dif ferent countries. A visit to the page listing the 200 most recent finds — updated every few minutes — might show entries from China, New Zealand, Kentucky, Sweden and Saudi Arabia. Vermont sports 82 caches and ana£p7? geocaching community. Players keep in touch via the Web site, which provides tutorials on how to find and hide caches, an extensive glossary and, most important ly, cache coordinates and clues that will help you find it. Once you’ve found it, you log onto the site and register your find. This lets other users know what you’ve found and it updates your stats. The site keeps profiles o f each user, and all players choose special secret-code names to disguise their identities. Veteran Vermont geocachers include “Old Salt,” “ Faithwalker” and “Orange74thing.”

Before I went out on my first hunt, I contacted two local players, BigD og and Crowbait, to see what they could tell me about the high-tech sport. Both o f them™, responded right away. “I first heard about geocaching from a friend at a wedding reception last summer,” wrote Crowbait. “My first thought was, ‘How difficult would it be to find a cache if you know the coordinates?’ Well, there is a little more to it than simply going to the speci fied lat and Ion. There is a little ‘artistic license’ from the cache placer.” Crowbait, who asked me not to use his real name, refers to the way geocachers slip their container into hollow logs, under rocks and into practically any space that can conceal it from view. They want you to work at finding it. - BigDog; a.k’.af. Bob DcVkrncy, agr^efs! -f ‘ He took up the sport after hearing about it from a ham-radio friend. He geocaches once a week, usually with his wife, “Crustacean.” “It’s like a good mystery novel,” BigDog writes. “You follow the clues, but it still takes a bit o f luck, and good hunches sometimes. You develop a ‘Spidey Sense’ after a while.” Eager to test my wits, I registered on the Web site, calling myself “Crezmo.” I bor-

rowed my friend’s Garmin eTrex Summit Personal Navigator. It weighs about 6 ounces. Its L C D screen displays my lat and Ion coordi nates as well as the altitude, compass heading and barometric pressure. When I move, it tells me how fast I’m going and how far away I am from my destination. It features several differ ent screens. My favorite is the one with the lit tle man walking toward the flagpole — the one that will show me closing in on a cache. For my first hunt, I chose Crowbait s beginner-level cache, “Thinka-Inca.” For safe ty reasons, the Web site advises against geo

find. My cache page instantly updated my stats — crezmo: 1 found/0 hidden. For my second attempt, I thought it would be fun to try a more difficult cache, and to look for it with someone more experi enced, so I asked Crowbait and BigD og to come along. They were excited to meet each other in person and to help me hone my skills. We agreed to attempt “Indian Brook,” an intermediate-level cache at the Indian Brook Reservoir in Essex that both Crowbait and BigDog had already found. I worried about making a neophyte mis

Crowbait mentioned one o f his faves — “CryptoCache Prime,” a multi-stage cache in Winooski. Multi-stage means you have to find the first cache to get the clue to the sec ond, and so on. He also explained his pseu donym. He thought o f it because he likes to geocache alone. One day, as he climbed over some boulders on the way to “River View Cache,” he realized that if he were to fall, no one would ever find him. “I would be crow bait,” he intoned ominously. Though I enjoyed this conversation, I was getting nervous about finding the cache.

We parked at the Woodside Recreational Area in Essex. Then we turned on the navigator, entered the coor dinates, and started down the nature trail. I watched the little man walk toward the flagpole on my screen until it said I was right i on top o f the coordinates I’d entered. Earlier I had decoded the encrypted clue, which read, “Think o f the Central American cul ture... I’ll be hanging by a thread to hear o f this cache’s find.” Neither Maegen nor I had much o f a “Spidey Sense.” We bumbled around for 20 minutes within sight o f the cache before we figured it out. What we finally found was an old Skippy peanut-butter jar. It contained two Zip-loc plastic bags, one o f which held a pocket note book — the cache log. The other contained the booty. Geocacher etiquette stipulates that if you want to take something from the cache stash you must leave something behind. I took a little fluorescent green alien guy from the booty bag and left a Penny Cluse post card and a photo o f a hairless Sphinx cat. Maegen and I read through the log, which dates from last December. My favorite entry was the one from Seth and Rhonda, a.k.a. AchStone” who pasted a mini-Polaroid o f themselves on one page. We made our own entries and headed back down the trail, When I got home I immediately posted my

take, but I shouldn’t have. They clearly knew what a beginner I was from the moment I pulled up in my puny, city-slicker Saturn. BigD og arrived in his big white truck. Along with a ton o f hardware in the cab, it’s wired with two cell phones, a mounted G PS — separate from the one he uses to geocache — an open laptop with a third cell-phone hook-up and plenty o f ham-radio equipment. He works for Verizon Wireless maintaining equipment at the bases o f cell-phone towers. Crowbait joked that BigDog’s truck looked like “mission control.” He had fewer tech toys but made up for it by using plenty o f technical jargon. Crowbait kept talking about caching hints that use the Vigenere Square. Whatever that is. The three o f us embarked on the trail with me in the lead. The guys wanted to give me a chance to find the cache on my own. I start ed following the little flagpole walker, but Crowbait suggested I use the compass setting. As I pondered the arrow’s fickle bearing, I lis tened to the guys compare finds. BigDog recommended one o f his favorite caches — “Raid!” in St. Albans. A woman named “ Flask” hid it last month. “We took a total o f 10 trips to find this one,” he told me, “and the hiding place was definitely the most ingenious we’ve seen yet... ‘Flask’ should have been a spy hiding microfilm for the CIA .”

The little walking man on my eTrex wanted to go straight, but the compass said go right. The clue told me to look under a pile o f rocks. “Great,” I thought. “We’re surround ed by rocks.” I knew I had to turn o ff the trail, but I didn’t know where. Crowbait tried to help me without giving anything away. He patiently described how compasses work. He drew diagrams in the snow. Finally, he gave up and nudged me in the right direction. I clamored up the steep slope along the left side o f the trail, followed by Crowbait, who seemed afraid I might lose my footing, fall and blame it on him. I exam ined piles o f rocks, all the whole watching Crowbait s reaction, to see if I’d picked the right one. I found the green Army ammo box in a non-descript rock pile near the top o f the slope. I felt a little sheepish. It would have taken me hours to find it on my own. I thought about what BigD og had said: “Some people like this handed to ‘em. Some people like the challenge, / like the challenge.”I felt guilty claiming “Indian Brook” as a find when I hadn’t earned it. I rummaged through the tchochkes, taking a Hot Wheels sportster to add to my collection. I left behind a twocent South African rand coin for someone else to find. And I decided that, next time, I’ll rely only on my Spidey Senses... and the satellite signals, the clues and the map that shows me where to park. (Z)

M STORY & I MAGES K E N A IK E N

otorcycle riding is generally perceived as a summertime activity. Venture forth in another season and the question, inevitably, is “Kinda cold, ain’t it?” I’m not surprised when people appear confused by my reply — there are so many myths about motorcycling. “Nope, plugged in,” I explain, revealing a contrap tion that looks like an umbilical cord. My suit is wired like an electric blanket. I just plug it into my bike. People either seem fascinated by or can’t stand motorcycles. My girlfriend won’t get on one; her kids can’t wait. But no matter what stance a person may take on the subject, there’s no denying that you're “out there” when riding a “bike.” And that’s a big part o f what it’s all about. Just ask the outlaw C E O on his bad-ass Harley, the invincible kid doing wheelies down the main drag or grandpa and grandma on their trailer-toting Goldwing. Whether 17 or 70, all riders are subject to the immutable laws o f physics; on the road, gravity, momentum and the Coriolis force rule our lives. Stop paying attention and the rider ends up kissing the pave ment — an unanticipated “get-off.” Injuries aside, it’s embarrassing to be thrown from your motorcycle at a stop light, and it scratches up the paint. Motorcyclists develop awareness for their surroundings and circumstances or they don’t ride for long. But motorcycling is subtler than defen

sive awareness and living on the edge. You feel alive when you ride; you’re a partici pant in the world rather than just a spec tator on the road. For one thing, you can smell things: apple blossoms in April and lilacs in May. Strawberries on a hot day in July and the richness o f new-mown hay. An apple pie being baked somewhere. The almost overpowering olfactory symphony o f the countryside in August and the sharp-edged scents o f late September. Then there’s the weather. Plunging into the moist, green coolness o f the Granville Reservation, where Route 100 is squeezed between steep mountain slopes. Rolling across the undulating golden plain o f Addison County on Route 17, with heat waves causing the purple Adirondacks to shimmer like a mirage. Asphalt so hot your kickstand sinks into it. Snow melt turning to black ice in the shadows. Sweat and hot leather; chattering teeth and numb fingers. Passing thrpugh ooq micrp^ climate after another, temperature always contributes to the definition o f the land scape and the experience o f the ride. Sound is as palpable as smell and as " tactile as temperature: the drone o f cicadas and the distant cry o f a hawk on the wing; the subsonic reverberations o f big twin engines; the welling voices o f a crowd; the song o f tires running over pavement and the pitch o f the engine as it climbs up and down through the gears. These sensations blend together into

what I call the gestalt o f motorcycling. Each ride is unique and yet is part o f a whole that shapes a rider in often undefinable ways. It’s an emotional experience — you might as well ask enthusiasts about their love life as why they ride. By its very nature, motorcycling is an outdoor activity. However, some riders take this to greater extremes than others. For my part, I enjoy camping and gour met cooking. Despite the advent o f light weight, high-tech materials for camp gear, I’m still faced with the choice o f minimiz ing my creature comforts to the capacity o f my backpack or piling it all on my BM W and heading out to explore the world. Laugh if you will, but I find camp ing on the shore o f Lake Champlain or the banks o f the Connecticut River more fun than staying at a fancy country inn. Either way, I’m listening to jazz and sip ping a fresh-brewed cappuccino after a gourmet breakfast. Also, by using my motorcycle I can leave home in central Vermont, take care o f business in Brattleboro, and be camped anywhere in the Green, White or Adirondack Mountains in time to enjoy the sunset. This doesn’t explain why I ride; it’s just one o f the things I do when I ride. Thousands o f motorcyclists take to the road each summer on trips that can last for months.

by age, occupation or any other demographic other than having a registered motorcycle. I know 70-year-old riders who will make a thou sand-mile detour on a whim. Many o f them show up each year in Lake George, New York, during the first week in June. “Americade” is billed as the largest motorcycle touring rally in North America. As many as 50 thousand show up for a week o f activities that range from educa tional seminars to fashion shows to catered din ners to afternoons at the Great Escape amuse ment park. When I’m not presenting a seminar or representing a magazine, I’m o ff meeting acquaintances or comparing notes on routes or checking out the bikes that line Canada Street and the southern shore o f Lake George. Some o f these riders come from as far away as Japan and Australia, shipping their motorcycles across the Pacific and then riding them to eastern New York, only to hop back on their bikes to join an organized day tour o f Vermont. Most don’t consider what they do to be extreme; they’re just having fun doing what they love. Rob Callender, on the other hand, is extreme.

Hair Removal In a Whole New Light! SA F E • E F F E C T I V E • PERMANENT

Tired o f logging in Chelsea, he ran away to Kathmandu, where he founded the Himalayan Roadrunners. Callender now guides motorcyclists over the highest motor-road pass in the world and deep into Tibet and Burma. If you’re looking for an extreme outdoor adventure on a motorcy cle, try joining the Roadrunners on their next expedition from Nepal to Bhutan. The Himalayas are a long way from the Green Mountains, but a person doesn’t have to ride around the world to find adventure or realize their dreams. The secret about motorcycling is that even going to the grocery store or commut ing to work is an adventure. When the senses feel more alive, even the mundane takes on special significance. You become more aware o f yourself and the world around you. For a motorcyclist this awareness can change your life — or at least your day. Like most people I have places to go and errands to run, but unlike some, I realize life’s too short not to live it to the fullest. So I plug into the accessories outlet, mount up, and ride away to my next destination. ©

C ATH RYN DWYER "Songs for a Suffering World," with David Budbill, William Parker and Hamid Drake. UVM Recital Hall, Redstone Campus, Burlington. April 23, 7:30 p.m. Hardwick Townhouse, April 24, 7 p.m.

avid Budbill talks about “drowning in a sea o f words” and laments the traffic on the so-called information highway. But what is a poet to do but counter this profligance with more words? They are, after all, his gift to the world. Budbill has not held back. He claims to have written something every day for 45 years — the last 32 from his wooded rural outpost in Wolcott, which he shares with his wife, artist Lois Eby. Budbill’s diligence.has resulted in six books o f poems, eight plays — including the award-winning Judevine — a novel, short stories, a childrens book, essays, speeches, reviews, an opera libretto, and two recordings with New York avantgarde bassist William Parker. It is these last projects that combine Budbill’s love o f words and his equal, lifelong passion for jazz. Five years ago he and Parker teamed up for Zen Mountains, Zen Streets — their first C D together and the debut disc from Vermont label Boxholder Records in Woodstock. With any luck their second collaboration, Songs fo r a Suffering World, will arrive just in time for a performance o f the same name in Burlington and Hardwick next week. This time both the recording and the concerts include the remarkably gifted drummer Hamid Drake. Budbill contributes to Songs not just words but notes — played on a shakuhachi. The Japanese wooden flute has only five holes but is nearly impossible to master — Budbill calls it a “lifelong project.” He was a “pretty good trumpet player” until a chainsaw accident his first year in Vermont split his upper lip (a moustache covers the scar). Budbill then took up the saxophone, but traded it for the lighter shakuhachi a few years ago. “It is the ultimately ‘blue’ instrument,” he proclaims. “If blues players are always try ing to get off the pitch, with this it’s hard to get on it.” Budbill’s shakuhachi floats airily over Parker and Drake’s uncannily intuitive improvisations — so tight Budbill calls the men “twins separated at birth.” In _ addition to stand-up bass, the multi-tal ented Parker plays pocket trumpet and

cornet, dilruba, balaphone, glockenspiel, gong and his own shakuhachi. The flute s wispy resonance and slightly sorrowful tone suits the vaguely Asian undercurrent o f Songs — Budbill quotes from Lao Tzu, Siddhartha and others, and a series o f new poems about “the emperor” provide the foundation for Songs. The first piece on the C D , “A Little Story About an Ancient Chinese Emperor,” however, alludes to a leader that sounds remarkably like George W. Bush. And that’s no coin cidence. Like a lot o f people, after 9/11, Budbill “wanted to do something.” While many o f us mourned and moped helplessly, he got to work on essays and poems. With the words that came, he began to create and perform with Parker. Songs gradually took shape, but Budbill says the text and music changed every time they did it. About the improvisation, he concedes, “It’s like feel ing your way through a dark room o f fur niture — or like being Lewis and Clark, I don’t know. You’re out there in the wilder ness and trying to figure out how to get from A to B .” Though Lou Kannenstine o f Boxholder finally got the men to commit their work to disc, the live performances continue to mutate. As does the global situation Bud bill addresses plainly: Songs fo r a Suffering World is at once an antiwar lamentation and a prayer for “lighting the fire o f com passion.” The words are poignant, petu lant and passionate by turns; the overall message is overtly political. Budbill is a former commentator on National Public Radio who was sacked for his “left-wing views.” But he’s made up for it since January 1999, when he launched an unbridled cyberzine o f poli tics and opinion — The Judevine M ountain Em ailite — on his Web site. Budbill’s zine, he says, is “my contribu tion to the effort to save the Presidency from the assault by the Radical Right.” The latest issue serves up commentary from himself and other writers on “the New American Fascism.” The bite o f his prose is tempered in his poems —- many o f which have found their way to N P R thanks to Garrison Keillor’s “A Writer’s Almanac.” Budbill continues

A Little Story About an Ancient Chinese Emperor SWF, athletic, attractive, outgoing, ISO the same. Looking for a relationship with passion and respect. Sense of humor a must! If you can catch me, I'm yours! 6396

Thousands of years ago in ancient China a boy emperor ruled for awhile. The Imperial Court had placed the child on the throne so that he could be a mouthpiece for the Imperial Court's desires. Coddled from birth, surrounded by servants and sycophants, told by The Imperial Court that he was The Son of Heaven, given to believe he had no obligation to anyone but his Imperial Court, pampered and protected from any notion of what the real world was like, from any idea of what The People had to put up with every day,

SANCjIO SIGHTINGS!

The Emperor ruled for a long time and thousands of The People died, killed by his armies and because of his abuse and neglect. But eventually, after great suffering. The People rose up and crushed the man who called himself The Son of Heaven. And they crushed his Imperial Court as well.

DAVID BUDBILL

to favor the simple, natural imagery inspired by decades o f reading ancient Chinese verse. His lines tout homey activities like making tea or watching birds; his Zenlike observations give readers the impression this Cleveland-born Protestant is a Buddhist. He isn’t, officially. A graduate o f Union Theological Seminary in New York, Budbill has “the academic background to be ordained,” and his writing reflects a good deal o f philosophical reading. But he has chosen poetry as his pulpit, and the words ache not with anger but with love o f ordinary life. In the end, Budbill hopes that Songs fo r a Suffering World will not leave listeners with more intellectual bag gage. “ I’d like to think people would get an emotional connection,” he says, touching his belly. “Closer to the navel than the brain.” ®

MATTHEW THORSEN

From the furrowed elbows of frozen trees, and wisps o f subzero first light mistVenetian glass icicles bloomed as civilized men arrived at his door in the thump of a local newspaper. He was sick of seeing their faces. Under his sunken, unread eyes drained watery coffee, nostril vapor, the magenta languor of sunrise. He kissed his wife as she shuffled awake, said good morning and went to bed without editorials or advertisements. On blasts of remembrance and January, David celebrated melancholia. Always examining insignificant thingswhat is that under the street lamp? When will the snow quit falling? His face- the pallor of a clouded moon His memory- dissolved beyond focus. His hands were as cold as the season. Thorns and thistles pricked the flesh more deeply every passing yearhe staggered into wilderness. Snow clouds gilt the frozen moon, sometimes northern lights flickeredthe night is often beautiful Yet when he attempted to summon the Muse her effervescent ambulance never slowed it swerved on an arc of celestial skids

Waskow thought a weekend in New York City would suit David very well

You, of all people should want to go... Footprints had not pressed the snow past David's stoop in several days. and so Abigail agreedNew York will be good for you . She was becoming concerned. His psyche seem ed to be constantly tilting, and as she watched him weigh each word she knew he was balancing more than words. Art versus crematorium. He agreed, he disagreed, work versus inactivity. The Boston reading had not gone well. David drank too much there. Travel is often too painful... David becomes an idiot too easily. Yet the Brooklyn bridge is an exquisite object. There will be statues in the Museum. There will be paintings, bookstores, subway maps-

ome would say poetry is a young mans — or womans — game. The modern equiva lent o f the Renaissance bard begging a kiss from his lady fair is the barely post-adoles cent singer intoning, “Your body is a won derland.” But there are older poets who remind us that verse doesn’t have to follow the ebb and flow o f hormones. Age “brings the philosophic m ind” — as William Wordsworth put it in a poem otherwise devoted to lamenting his youth. In his new volume o f poems Aging Gracefully, Plainfield writer Robert Barasch offers plenty o f “philosophic mind.” He also has a voice “drunk with words and memories,” reminding us that life on Earth is no less exciting, confounding and downright wondrous at 70 than at 16. His are poems that sneak up on you — their form is spare and simple, almost conversational; their implications are knottier. The collection spans decades. Lyrics published 30 years ago rub shoul ders with ones that evoke present-day traumas like 9/11. The first group o f poems — also enti tled “Aging Gracefully” — focuses on per sonal history. Barasch doesn’t shy away from describing the physical side o f aging, the loss o f strength and mobility. But he steers clear o f the maudlin complaints and stale humor that mar so many popular depictions o f the elderly. “Tremors” gives a clear-eyed, slightly whimsical account o f how it feels to strug gle with writing one’s name and eating a bowl o f soup: “The eating-tricks/are speed, willingness and derring-do— /rush ing the spoon through the air/like a man on a flying trapeze...” A physical feat is still a physical feat, and the poem subtly conveys a sense o f dignity and endurance. “Traveling in Tim e” and “Marching” show us how an aging woman’s body hides the ghost o f her youthful self, releasing it in moments o f graceful action. It’s a recur- _ rent theme in his poetry: The present con tains the past. In “Spinnings,” Barasch describes this. paradox o f change and continuity in a wonderfully unflowery metaphor, suggest ing that you need look no further than your own kitchen: Paper towels, which used to roll slowly, speed around now. We change the rolls a ll hours o f the day.. * The clocks, too, seem to spin. Starting slowly, like trains, they’ve gathered w ild momentum, replenishment not available a t Wal-Mart. A nd what w ill happen to us, held together by strong forces, orbiting each other?

The second section of the volume, “Morning Shadows,” provides some answers to the question, “What will hap pen to us?” But it does so on an ominous note. What breaks the orbit o f our spin ning spheres? The answer is chaos in one

o f its many forms, trivial or terrifying, from the murder or earthquake on the evening news to the fraternity gang-bang to the road-kill that makes us shiver briefly as we speed along the highway. These darker poems tell stories — some o f them well-known, others not. Often Barasch uses a central metaphor or a deceptively innocent opening to deflect the emotion at the poem’s core. He forces us to hover above each story like the dead narrator o f the film American Beauty, see ing it almost dispassionately as another episode in the human tragicomedy. In “Answering the Call,” the casualties o f the brutal terrorist attack on Jerusalem’s Zion Square are embodied in a cell phone

W h e n B a ra s c h k e e p s his grip o n everyd ay e x p e rie n c e , his p o e m s offer p recisely th e so rt of insights th a t W o rd sw o rth s a w a s th e fruit of ag e. that “shoutfs] ‘Hear me!’ in all its voices,” but can’t be answered by its missing (dead?) owner. The narrator in “Morning Shadows” meditates on how recent events have less ened his own trust in strangers, particular ly the young. The Zantop murders in Hanover have shown him how quickly a calm life can be disrupted by an infusion o f pure chaos: “N o stranger to evil— a stu dent o f evil,/in fact— he placed it elsewhere/and saw it leap from a backpack/ into the peace o f his home.”

The poems in this section and the last one, “This Lovely Course,” touch repeat edly on Big Issues such as creation, destruction, dark matter, reincarnation — small ironies that intersect with cosmic ones. When Barasch tangles directly with philosophical abstractions, as in “Does Anyone Know?” his verse can be lead footed. But when he keeps his grip on everyday experience, his poems offer pre cisely the sort o f insights Wordsworth saw as the fruit o f age. Intent on their carpe diem, the young may sometimes forget what the poem “Trip in Vain” poignandy reminds us: that every day is a perilous “journey to tomorrow,” and no ones trav el plans are set in stone. © • •

Every year 1,400 Vermont youth become regular smokers. One-third of them will die early because of their addiction. Vermont’s settlement with the tobacco industry was a historic opportunity to fund tobacco prevention. It’s common sense, really. For years Big Tobacco spent billions enticing our children to smoke. This year, Vermont lawmakers should spend at least $5.2 million of the tobacco settlement funds to help smokers quit and prevent youth from getting addicted to tobacco. After all, tobacco caused the problem. Tobacco money should help fix it.

COUNTRY TIME

Mark LeGrand has been making waves on the central Vermont country-rock scene. His 2002

release A ll

Dressed Up was one of the year's best local discs. With a swinging backbeat and teary lyrics of the lovelorn, LeGrand is a modern-day honkytonk hero. Next Wednesday, April 23, the Montpelier native rips it up at Good Times Cafe in Hinesburg.

BUSKER DO • •A s the front man for rockers Currently Nameless, Milton Busker turned on the crowds with his powerful pipes and inventive axe-slinging. Last year, he took the top spot in Advance Music's Acoustic Guitar Summit. Now solo, the Burlington native has released an EP of tunes he describes as "Radiohead singing Bob Dylan." Sounds interesting. This Thursday, Busker brings his new songs to Radio Bean.

REBECCA PADULA, TIM E SPEED & D ISTAN C E (Self-released, CD) Local singer-songwriter Rebecca Padula is one of the found ing members of the Burlington Songwriter's Co-operative, a well-established workshop in which writers can perform and be critiqued by their peers. Unlike Waterfront, her 1997 CD, Time Speed & Distance, recorded at Ruby Songs studio in northern Massachusetts, doesn't have a lot of "background music" to draw attention from Padula's voice and lyrics. The sound on the 10 tracks of this new disc is primarily acoustic guitar and voice with bass accompaniment, and one unaccompanied vocal. Nine are originals.

SOULIVE, SOULIVE (Blue Note Records, CD) What comes next when a group has spent a few years bouncing around the jam scene, releasing mellow groove-funk records and developing a growing mass of fans? A live record, obviously. And so, Boston-based trio Soulive are ready to drop their fifth album, an eponymous collection

The strongest selections on the recording are the title track, aided by the harmony vocals of bassist Mitch Barron; the a cappella track, "Uncharted Waters," about explorer Ferdinand Magellan; and a live recording of "Come on Over," a catchy tune co-written by fellow local songstress

of tracks recorded during the past year at various U.S. clubs. Though a live album captures some bands at their peak, Soulive is little more than patented, predictable groove-by-numbers. On their last collection, 2002's Next, the band branched out to include the contributions of guest MCs and soul vocalists — if Dave Matthews can be considered soul. Though still relying on their trademark organ-fueled workouts, Soulive stretched towards new territory by adding these pop and hip-hop elements. Though the album itself was patchy, the band's willingness to move forward was impressive, and they seemed poised to take their jazz-jam sound in a new direction.

Laura Simon. The fact that the live cut is one of the best here bodes well for upcoming shows.

ROBERT RESNIK

ETHAN DANIEL DAVIDSON, D O N

With this live collection, however, the Soulive sound has taken a solid step backwards. Not only does the production lack the rhythmic snap of Next, the songs are nothing more than

QUIXOTE DE S U B U R B IA

indistinguishable mid-tempo grooves whose only sense of purpose is to get the kits to shake their shit.

(Times Beach Records, CD)

Don't get me wrong, the brothers Evans and guitarist Eric Krasno are fine musicians, and they often create a powerful sound that belies the size of the group, but the performances on this album are none too inspiring. Drummer Alan Evans' snare still hits with a metronomic pre cision, keyboardist Neal Evans still pumps out thick, elastic bass lines with one hand and bursts

Take one traveling folk singer, add Kid Rock's engineer and producer, backing musicians from The Twisted Brown Trucker Band, The Detroit Cobras, The Black Crowes, Uncle Kracker and Big Chief, mix in a grab bag of Dylan references, and you're bound to end up with Ethan Daniel Davidson's Don Quixote De Suburbia. The eclectic batch of songs is by turns irreverent and thought-provoking. Davidson tilts at the windmills of racism, the Patriot Act and global capitalism with equal aplomb and still manages to squeeze in a few

of sharp chords with the other, and Krasno releases his fair share of guitar skronk and inventive solos. However, nothing gels in this recording, and given its lackluster sound, the album is a far cry from these dudes' prime material. The only track that distinguishes itself from the mass is a fascinatingly third-rate cover of Stevie Ray Vaughn's "Lenny," which sounds even more like elevator Muzak than do the other cuts on the disc. Rather than becoming one of the most promising purveyors of new-groove, Soulive has

lonely, longing love songs. The nods to Dylan tend to be both musical and lyrical — not to mention comfortingly familiar — though they're so frequent as to become a dis traction. "Only One World Blues," is a talking blues song reminiscent of both Dylan's "Highway 61" and The Butthole Surfers' "Pepper." "Ghosts of Mississippi" makes good use of an RL Burnside sample backing a spoken tale about the KKK founder's hometown. Don Quixote De Suburbia is a fun lis ten with good — but not amazing — songs addressing

become yet another indistinguishable member of the funk-jazz tribe — at least on this record ing. I f they continue on this path, the best place to catch them in another five years will be oa the overhead speakers during your next visit to the mall. Soulive perform Thursday, April 24, at Higher Ground with fellow funksters Maktub.

E XH IB IT "Dual Visions," paintings and collages by Larry Bowling. Doll-Anstadt Gallery, Burlington. Through April. ARTW ORK

Detail of "V isitation" by Larry Bowling

o-called “spirit photography” was a hoax that had its heyday in the 1860s. After the privations o f the Civil War there was a general interest in all things metaphysical, and photogra phers soon realized that most people had never heard o f a double exposure. Adding the “ghost” o f a lost loved one to an unsuspecting sitters portrait was a simple and lucrative “hum bug,” as skeptics said, practiced by some stu dios. Although the motives o f contempo rary collage artists are more innocent, layers o f imagery tend to be consid ered layers o f reality even today. Larry Bowling’s exhibition, “ Dual Vision,” at Burlington’s Doll-Anstadt Gallery is full o f photographic images printed onto transparencies that are then inte grated into his paintings and mixedmedia collages. The effect is ethereal. Bowling has written that he wishes to “avoid direct narratives” in his work. His transparencies o f late 19th- and early 20th-century images seem to represent memories at the edge o f being forgotten, or, as he explains, “meditations for the subconscious.” “Lost in the Wilderness” is a long horizontal piece portraying a forest, with two transparencies o f a nude male that seem to be borrowed from 19th-century photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The figure has a dark background, which gives it the effect o f a doorway in the forest. The halves o f the piece are mirror images o f each other, like a Rorschach test, and its surface has the character o f aged parchment. Restating the lost-in-the-wilderness theme is an “ Untitled” square piece made up o f weathered copper plates , surrounding a similar Muybridgeesque male standing amongst trees. The copper’s turquoise patina comple ments the honey-brown hues o f Bowling’s photographic element, giv

ing it a warm glow. Random scratches are applied across the nailed copper plates. “Contemplating the Sacred & Profane” has a trio o f collages at the center o f its copper plates, including the portrait o f a woman in the forest. A smaller inset o f the nude male appears above.

image, again comprising one photo transparency and its mirrored opposite at each end o f the canvas. But this lost childhood is apparently a metaphorical one: Bowling’s photo subject is a liv ing child. The painterly field in which the image exists is an expressionistic purple and orange with a low horizon line, like twilight descending.

The title of "Momento Mori" comes from a genre of 19th-cen tury photography related to spirit photography, but it was the real thing — actual death portraits, often of children. “Memoranda” is another square piece with similar scratched lines, but in this case they are cursive writing in pencil on white paint around the edges o f the photo-collage, which depicts a woman in a long dress. The persistent yellowed glow that appears in Bowling’s work may be a result o f amber shellac on white surfaces. Several o f his pieces in the show use more traditional techniques and mate rials, but collage transparencies remain a constant. In “Visitation,” the central collage element is an owl flying at the viewer, from an expressionistic field o f scratched markings on white. The underpainting is orange and purple, a pair o f hues Bowling repeats on other paintings. The title o f “Momento M ori” comes from a genre o f 19th-century photography related to spirit photog raphy, but it was the real thing — actual death portraits, often o f chil dren. Bowling’s version has a repeated

The most notorious spirit photog rapher was William H. Mumler o f New York City. In 1869 he was charged with fraud, and a hearing o f his case received national attention. After several days o f testimony the judge dismissed the case, saying that although he “might believe that trick and deception had been practiced,” there was insufficient evidence to pros ecute fraud. Nevertheless, it was the beginning o f the end for spirit photog raphy. Mumler s studio techniques had been easily unmasked. The practice o f coilaging photo graphic transparencies onto paintings cannot be considered a crime, but it certainly is widespread. Bowling implies in his artist statement that he is moving toward a greater emphasis on painting and, if true, it’s a good move. Collage transparencies are defi nitely “ in” nowadays, but, like spirit photography, they may ultimately be seen as a passing fad. ®

HELL ON WHEELS Images of skateboarding can be found almost anywhere today, but 30 years ago th a t wasn't the case. The photography th a t Wynn Miller has cap tured — now displayed a t Jager DiPaola Kemp's Sanctuary Artsite — documents the excitem ent surrounding skateboard ing during the late 7 0 s .

I ROTE RAGE

Nicholson and Sandler are squandered in the service of a forced, overly fam iliar script.

ime to play Weakest Link. Who’s responsible for this comedy proving such a disappointment — Jack Nicholson, Adam Sandler or director Peter Segal? Nope. The correct answer is screenwriter David Dorfman. How powerhouse talent like the film’s two leads could wind up squandered in the service o f a novice writer’s hit-andmiss script — almost all the hits are in the trailer — is a puzzle. Jack and Adam are two o f the most sought-after movie performers alive. Here’s Dorfman’s complete resume: His debut was an ensemble comedy titled The Boss’s D aughter, which teams Ashton Kutcher with Tara Reid. The story: A young man falls deeply in

love with the offspring o f an employer he loathes passionately. Speaking o f loathing, Miramax has rescheduled its release no fewer than four times. Originally slated to hit theaters last November, the film is currently slotted for the back-to-school dumping ground o f late August. Dorfman has a comedy called Pretty Ugly in the works. The premise involves a womanizer who wakes up one day homely and overweight as a result o f a curse put on him by a con quest he dumped. His only hope for returning to normal is to win the heart o f that woman while still in his cursed condition. A sort o f inverse Shallow H al, the project’s been picked

up by Touchstone but as yet has nei ther a director nor a cast attached. That makes Anger M anagem ent just the second script Dorfman has man aged to unload, and the only one that has actually made it into a movie the ater. For the screenplay to receive the kind o f A-list treatment it did from Sony would be unusual even if it were a work o f monumental artistry. It is anything but. Which makes the whole thing even more bizarre. All we have here is a basically onejoke affair about a mild-mannered mensch and the unorthodox therapist dedicated to teaching him how to express his frustration and rage. Sandler’s character is sentenced to anger-management therapy as a result o f a mix-up on an airliner — as you’ve no doubt seen already in the ads. Nicholson plays a colorful shrink whose approach calls for him to move in with his patient — as you’ve like wise seen — and shadow the poor guy everywhere, goading him into con fronting people who take advantage o f him. For every truly comical interaction between the two characters, such as the first time they climb into bed together, there are a dozen or so sit com-level gags that seem familiar, forced or both. The bed scene echoes a famous bit from Planes, Trains and Automobiles. The running joke that has doctor and patient singing “I Feel Pretty” is lifted verbatim from Analyze This. Plagiarism or Freudian slip? The therapy group Sandler is forced to join is a regulation lineup o f eccentrics. John Turturro is the angry psycho. Luis Guzman’s a standardissue queen, a reject from some offoff-Broadway B ird Cage cattle call. It’s the same group — give or take a pair o f lesbian porn stars — we’ve been seeing since the days o f “The Bob Newhart Show.” Nicholson and Sandler try every thing. I actually found myself worry ing occasionally that the A bout Schm idt star might overexert himself in his effort to shake this film awake. Sandler does what he can with dia logue he probably couldn’t wait to get out o f his mouth, but even talent o f his caliber has its limits. Over the years, I’ve watched Nicholson gleefully slum his way through any number o f dogs, but this is the first time I’ve seen Sandler operate at less than optimal power. It’s a disheartening sight. Despite their best efforts, and those o f Segal, who’s no slouch when it comes to comedy ( Tommy Boy, N utty Professor II: The Klumps), Anger M anagem ent proves maddeningly unsatisfying. Hold the group therapy. Someone should sentence David Dorfman to a screenwriting seminar. ©

than the butt o f a laughable human dilemma. The plot is completely breathless, despite the movie’s 154-minute run ning time. Rivette — perhaps most famous in his long career for Celine and Julie Go Boating — was a lead ing proponent o f the French New Wave along with auteurs such as Francois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Goddard and Eric Rohmer. Va Savoir is quite Rohmerlike, in fact, with a cast that more or less drifts from one ardent encounter to the next. That drifting often relies on the entrances and exits associated with stagecraft, a purposeful blurring o f the line between dramaturgy and cinema. Although his tormented characters are allowed a sense o f resolution, Rivette seems to point out that life itself remains unknowable. As the clos ing credits roll, Peggy Lee is heard singing “Senza Fine.” In Italian, that means “without end.”

Thursday, April 24, 2003 Information Session 105 Aiken Center, UV M , Burlington Campus 6 :3 0 - 8 :0 0 p.m.

t’s an essentially existential query: “Who knows?” But Va Savoir, the idiomatic title o f Jacques Rivette’s 2001 romantic roundelay, foregoes the ques tion mark. The septuagenarian director is French — tantamount to a capital offense in the United States these days — and his lack o f punctuation might be a subtle European way to suggest there rarely are any answers. The cen tral concern o f this poignant comedy, screening at Middlebury College on Saturday at 3 and 8 p.m., is the diffi culty o f sorting out emotions when it comes to love and lust.

FLYNNCENTER.ORG

The search for clarity is evident frofn the moment the film begins with Camille, an actress played by Jeanne Balibar, muttering about her confusion in matters o f the heart. She’s back in Paris with an Italian theatrical troupe three years after leaving the city to escape the smothering affection o f Pierre (Jacques Bonnaffe), a philosophy profes sor who might be her true soul mate. That’s precisely what worries fellow thespian and company artistic director Ugo (Sergio Castellito), Camille’s cur rent main squeeze. The key setting is a theater where his ensemble performs a Pirandello play, in which she stars. Pierre, meanwhile, has been living with Sonia. Portrayed by Marianne Basler, the woman is a former jewel thief now teaching ballet. She in turn is wooed by n’er-do-well Arthur (Bruno Todeschini). This rogue has an appar ently semi-incestuous relationship with his half-sister Dominique (Helene de Fougerolles), who becomes enamored o f Ugo. Arthur later develops a crush on Camille. Such entanglements are not neces sarily just the stuff o f fiction. I can recall a similar chain o f fools, so to speak, at my college: Ted was adored by Wendy, who was adored by Jim, who was adored by Linda, who was adored by Andy, who was adored by Paula, who was adored by Robert, who didn’t yet realize he was gay. In the realm o f motion pictures, the Ugo-Camille-Pierre-Sonia-ArthurDominique connection never demeans its impossibly attractive participants. Collectively, they are the source rather

Iraq bears little resemblance to Vietnam, but some o f the vocabulary from our Indochina intervention has been resurrected. For one thing, today there’s talk once again about “winning hearts and minds” — and look where that got us three decades ago. The Quiet American, a powerful film that opened in Burlington last week and will start soon at the Savoy Theater in Montpelier, conveys the ear liest chapters o f a war that was fated to last for 10,000 days. Philip Boyce directed this adaptation o f Graham Greene’s exquisite 1955 novel, in which Southeast Asia is as maddeningly elu sive a region as the Persian Gulf. It takes place in an era when the French military, preparing to quit the indomitable peasant nation, has fallen victim to the self-delusion that will later haunt the Yanks. Thomas Fowler is a British correspon dent covering the hostilities along with a pack o f international journalists’who gather at Saigon’s Continental Hotel, just as contemporary media have favored Baghdad’s al-Rashid in 1991 and the Palestine Hotel in 2003. He lives with a much younger local woman, Phuong, and smokes a good deal o f opium to assuage his world-weariness. Fowler sobers up quickly when Phuong falls for a Boston native named Alden Pyle, a covert operative trying to force his notion of democracy on the populace. Michael Caine gives Fowler a bit too much bravado; in the book, the jour nalist retains that upper-class English reserve filtered through a devastatingly dry wit. Brendan Fraser is appropriately boyish as Pyle, yet fails to create a con vincing duplicity. Symbolically, this is supposed to be a quiet American who leaves terrible desolation in his wake.

In the right hands, the bright sounds o f th e steel pan drums can warm the coldest souls and conjure visions of swaying palms, turquoise seas and street festivals. Pioneering pan master Andy Narrell has been incorporating the island instrument into contem porary music for close to three decades, making a name for himself in the '90s w ith the Caribbean Jazz Project. His latest, Sakesho — Creole for "it's gonna be hot" — features a stellar trio o f Island-born players. I t fuses the polyrhythmic beguine music o f Martinique and Guadeloupe w ith breezy calypso, jazz and Afro-Cuban flavors. PopMatters magazine calls the spicy quartet's lat est disc an "original and highly rewarding album." Yeah, mon.

A P R IL 1 7 -2 3

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Anyone who is in the habit of bestowing gifts and blessings on oth ers is a candidate for sainthood. Generosity is one of the greatest virtues. But there is a related quality that surpasses it: the ability to give without any strings attached, with out any expectation of being appreci ated or praised for one’s largesse. How’d you like to begin working on a mastery of this demanding skill, Aries? The coming weeks will afford you ripe opportunities. (P.S. For those of you who are political activists, remember the Dalai Lamas thought: You should work as hard as you can to reduce suffering and fos ter justice — accepting that all of your efforts may come to nothing in the end.)

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Who or what will rescue you, Taurus? A divine intervention, per haps? A sympathetic friend who totally understands you? A teacher who knows exactly what you need at this turning point? I suspect the answer is none of the above. Don’t worry, though, because a brave hero is on the way, primed to provide you with an exit, a solution and a cure. And who is this great deliverer? For a clue, I give you this poem by Simeon Samuel Frug: “No savior from with out can come/To those that live and are enslaved./Their own messiah they must be,/And play the savior and the saved.”

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Here’s what I wrote in my journal on an April night 10 years ago: “Ever since I learned to see three sides of every story, I’ve been coming across much better stories.” Here’s what I overheard from a woman in the gro cery store check-out line today: “I’m not saying that truth is always rela

tive, but I have often found it to be fluid, slippery, vagrant, scrambled, promiscuous and kaleidoscopic.” And here’s a favorite saying of semi nal TV newscaster Art Amadon: “I get my way more often now that I have more than one way.” What else do you need to know to prepare for the upcoming week, Gemini?

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): In the 1950s, scientists developed methods to synthesize artificial dia monds in the laboratory. But it’s only recently they have mastered technology that allows them to grow small natural diamonds into bigger ones very quickly and without any flaws. I suggest you make this your operative metaphor in the coming weeks, Cancerian. You’ll be wise to mobilize all your resources as you rapidly expand the part of your life that is most like a diamond. It’s time to expedite the evolution of your valuable beauty.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): My daughter’s sixth-grade class will per form a play this spring, as it has the last five years. The script, an adapta tion of a tale from The Arabian Nights, features a magical talking bird as a key character. One of the students, a Leo, asked the teacher not to give her that role, as plum as it is. Why? Because she wants to avoid any further typecasting: She has played the pan of a bird in three of the last four class plays. I urge you to consider making a similar stand, Leo. You’ll soon be offered a chance to squeeze yourself into a coveted niche you’ve occupied before. I’m not saying you shouldn’t do it; just think long and hard about the bag gage that comes with it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “What if you stumbled on a person living in the dark, starved, chained, drugged and poisoned?” asks futurist Jay Gary. “You’d turn on the light, unlock his chains and nourish him back to health. That poor soul is the human imagination — yours and mine.” I agree with Gary’s assess ment. Our imaginations are in bad shape, numbed by the media’s non stop onslaught of fear-provoking, spin-doctored, soul-killing “informa tion.” The situation is tragic. Imagination is not just a playful capacity we call on when we’re mak ing art, after all. It’s our ability to form mental pictures of things that don’t exist yet; it’s what we use to shape our future. Bat here's some good news, Virgo: You now have special power to rehabilitate and reinvigorate your imagination. Get in there and turn on the light, unlock the chains, and nourish it • back to health.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My acquaintance Judith decided to go all out in helping her daughter sell Girl Scout cookies. She filled her garage with cases of all nine varieties in preparation for a marketing onslaught on friends and neighbors. Then one night disaster struck. >■ Raccoons exploited a hole in the £ roof to break in and plunder the stash. But while the marauders * ripped open boxes of every cookie type, they ate only one: the Samoas, , also known as Carmel deLites, which are covered in caramel, sprinkled with toasted coconut, and laced with chocolate stripes. In the coming week, Libra, I urge you to be like those raccoons in this one regard: Unleash your passionate hunger very precisely. Don’t go after what you sorta kinda like; pluck only the treats you long for with all your heart.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Want to get the most out of your upcoming adventures, Scorpio? Then adopt an outlook that com bines the objectivity of a scientist and the “beginner’s mind” of Zen Buddhism. To pull this off, you’ll have to suspend your theories about the way the world works. Realize that what you’ve learned in the past won’t be a reliable guide to understanding current events. Be skeptical of your biases, even the benevolent ones. Try to see the naked truth, stripped of the interpretations that your emo tions might be inclined tojmpose.

SAGITTARIUS inov 22-Dec. 21): It’s time to purify your intentions, Sagittarius; time to make sure that you love what,you love and seek what you seek for only the best reasons. For inspiration, memorize this poem by the eighth-century Sufi mystic poet, Rabia: “I carry a torch in one hand/And a bucket of water in the other:/With these things I am going to set fire to Heaven/And put out the flames of Hell/So that no one worships God/for fear of hell or greed of heaven.”

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): You don’t realize how fertile you are, Capricorn. Nor can you pos sibly comprehend how much more fecund you will become in the com ing weeks. That’s why it’s so lucky you have tuned in'to'this horoscope.' Just in time, I am alerting you to your awesome generative power, ensuring that you will be very thoughtful and discriminating about which seeds you sow. About six months from now, therefore, you will most certainly harvest great big beau tiful fruits, not great big ugly weeds.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): To those living in the Northern Hemisphere, the North Star is the second most important star. Also known as Polaris or Pole Star, it is always directly overhead all night long. Compared to the other stars, which come and go, it’s a bastion of stability. Throughout history, it served as a beacon aiding the naviga tion of sailors. That’s why it became a symbol for a homing signal or guid ing principle. Synonyms for “polestar” include focal point, gist, marrow, pivot, root and crux. In your own life, Aquarius, what is the metaphorical equivalent of the North Star? According to the astrological omens, it’s time to make adjustments and do upkeep in your relationship with that hub. (For those of you in the Southern Hemisphere, your equivalent is Sigma Octantis.)

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Early in his career, Robert Bly rarely wrote love‘poetry, though he studied the work of others who did. As he aged, he stopped reading'the angstridden ruminatiorifipf modern pbets and sought out the ecstatk love poetry of mystics like Rumi and Kabir. Increasingly, forgiveness and compassion became central aspects* of Bly’s emotional repertoire. His rage about his own past romantic disappointments dissipated. In his mid-forties, he wrote Loving a Woman in Two W orlds^kia first col lection of love poetry. A critic in The New York Times Book Review said it wasn’t a real book of love poems, because there wasn’t enough hatred and anger in it. To which I say: Ha! Your assignment this week, Pisces, is to write a love poem and think love thoughts from which all hate and anger have been purged.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, I'm having some trouble in my long-term relationship. Our first few years together were just one big, sweet Jell-0 wrestle. Lately, though, our passion has taken a plunge, and now I'm beginning to notice all sorts of little niggling things that never bothered me before. Like the way she leaves her stuff all over the place? That drives me nuts. And those really, really long, pointless stories of hers? Frankly, they make my eyes glaze over. Also, she's started hanging out with this girl who's not my favorite individual in the world. Don't get me wrong: She's a super-nice, sweet person who would never do anything to hurt me. But we've been together for five years already. Isn't that enough? How do I know when it's time to break up? Annoyed in Adamant Dear Annoyed, Enough for what? Your relationship resume? Jell-0 wrestling is kid stuff. When the chemistry's right, anyone with half a libido can enjoy great sex. Getting beyond the beginner stage means keeping it up even if she annoys you. If you don't have the commitment to put in the hard work, maybe it is time to hang up the skates. Love, Lola
