The recent news story about the handicapped man who had his wheelchair stolen doesn’t quite rate inclusion in Roland Sweet’s cheer ful little column [“New Quirks”], in my opinion, since no one actu ally died [or] was maimed — even bloodied. Even the theft of a wheelchair might be improved upon to titillate the prurientminded, and I suggest when the hilarious event is “reported,” in Sweet’s humor column and else where, the incident be sweetened by a description of how the thief first beat the crap out of the dis abled person. That should really have malice lovers in stitches, even if the wheel-chaired person didn’t actually need any stitches.

STREET WALKING

Walking in beautiful downtown Burlington seems to have real potential dangers to the average pedestrian. One of these hazards is posed by bicyclists who insist in great numbers on using Church Street and city sidewalks without abandon. The majority of these people are not youngsters but young adults and older; younger people appear to know a lot more about bike safety and respect as

well as our city’s beautiful bicycle path. I need not describe the dead ly potential of the impact of an even moderately moving bicycle to a pedestrian. As an attorney I am all too familiar with cases of seri ous permanent injury caused by speeding bicycles. The other persistent and dan gerous annoyances are skateboards on city streets and the pedestrian mall. Again, the result of a bodyto-body collision between a skate boarder and a pedestrian is the likelihood of serious personal injury. In a short walk to and from North Street to College Street late Friday (September 5th), I counted five offending bicyclists and six offending skateboarders within a short period of time. The third serious hazard to pedestrians is the several hidden driveways right in the center of town where vehicles emerge with out warning to passers-by. My own examination of such driveways including those from a parking area disclose no internal warning signs, lights or markeip to encour age the drivers to stop before emerging onto the sidewalk. / The first two problems can be fought by a little police attention, perhaps in the form of the young park officers employed on Church Street during the summer; a good old-fashioned ticket blitz is in

Writeyour

order, plus whatever signage or public information efforts that can be employed. The third involves some serious building/driveway safety inspections. Walk safely, everyone. Dennis McMahon BURLINGTON

DEEP IMPACT?

Peter Kurth’s petty rants are usually pretty predictable, but this week [“Crank Call,” September 3] he really out did himself. I can’t help but wonder if Mr. Kurth would benefit from more fiber in his diet. R. Lee Bowen SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY

TOOTH TRUTH

I was glad to read Ken Picard’s recent column on fluoridation [“Local Matters,” September 10]. I was amazed to learn — and later confirm — that the fluoride^em ical added to Burlington’s water is j an unprocessed industrial waste product derived from the wet s scrubbers of the chemical fertilizer industry. ijf j In fact, based o^wfiatj^gs learned, they’ve never used any ? pharmaceutical-grade fluoride for any fluoridation program any where in the world. Most of the world, however, including mo$t off Europe, doesn’t fluoridate its Water. Considering the seriousness of

the health effects being discussed (arthritis, hip fracture, cancer, etc.), I certainly don’t want this stuff being added to my drinking water. For those people who want pharmaceutical-grade fluoride, it is readily available in nearly all tooth pastes. (Note: Read the warning label on the back.) However, for people like myself — who don’t want industrial fluoride — we shouldn’t be forced to consume it in our water. Medication should

be an individual choice, not a gov ernment mandate. Laura Kadish BURLINGTON

MORE DANCE PARTNERS

As a dance teacher I obviously read Rebecca Brookes’ article “Stricdy Ballroom” [September 10] with great interest. It is indeed very for tunate that Bobbi Davies, the owner of Vermont DanceSport Academy, chose to “retire” to this

just seemed kinda lame. But this week, Seven Days is hyping a $40,000 SUV — a vehicle that gets 12 mpg in the city. However much as this sort of thing adds to your bottom line, you’re selling yourselves too cheap. David Christensen BURLINGTON

LACK OF LOGIC

The second half of “Eco Logic” [Flick Chick, September 10] finds writer Susan Green getting so involved with Lili Schad’s sup posed adventures that the movie (Betraying Reason) becomes an afterthought. Memo: We read the review to make a decision about ^vhether to see the film, not to applaud your name-dropping skills. Checking facts would help, too; Schad’s dad may have founded Husky Injection Moulding, but he did not invent the snowmobile. A fellow named Carl Eliason was building them in Wisconsin three decades earlier. And why, given the title “Eco Logic,” does only one of the five films mentioned have any thing to do with ecology? Guess the name David Brower doesn’t command as much attention as Warren Miller.

BY PETER FREYNE AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

ABC22 Post Mortem

he lights are out in the Ch. 22 news department. WVNY-TV pulled the plug last week. After giving it the old college try for four years, and pumping a lot of money into the effort, our local ABC affil iate’s TV news just wasn’t selling. No mat ter how hard they tried, Ch. 22 couldn’t get more than a 2 percent share in the Nielsen ratings. W hat’s the lesson here, folks? Maybe it’s that the way to beat Ch. 3 (CBS) and Ch. 5 (NBC) is not to be Ch. 3-Lite or Ch. 5-lite, but rather to be something completely different. Ch. 22 produced a newscast that was a cookie-cutter version of what local news is around the country. It could have been Topeka or Toledo or Ft. Myers, Florida — only the local place names were different. Ch. 22’s great contribution to the mar ket was “Weather First.” That policy dic tated that the second story every night was the weather report. Give me a break. The only local talent Ch. 22 put on air was two-time right-wing Republican gubernatorial loser Ruth Dwyer as an “investigative reporter.’’ Give me a break. If ever Ch. 22 takes another shot at local news, and we dearly hope they do, it should go for something different. WGOP, er, sorry, WCAX has carved out its niche as the champion of conservative Republican politics and politicians. Owner Stuart "Red" M artin has long been a generous financial contributor to Republican causes and candidates. Last week, when the U.S. House told IBM to take a hike and rallied behind Rep. B e m ie S an d ers’ amendment on cash-balance pensions, it was big news in the national press. But on WCAX it was a four-sentence read-over buried between the weather and sports. Not even a sound bite from the hero of the day? Given the fact that Vermonters flock to the polls to overwhelmingly support candidates like Sanders and Sens. Patrick L eahy and Jim Jefford s, why not cover the news from the perspective of most Vermonters? The demise of Ch. 22’s news effort leaves a vacuum. One wonders whether a progressive TV news operation that coun ters Ch. 3’s conservative slant wouldn’t hit pay dirt? P.S. Bernie Sanders tells Seven Days his once-a-week radio show on WDEV-AM and FM is going national. OF Bernardo says the show is being picked up by sta tions in Madison, Wisconsin, Presque Isle, Maine, and Houston, Texas! Negotiations are also in the works with a prominent station in the Big Apple, we’re told. Look out, Rush Lim baugh, here comes Bernie! Clavelle's Big Call — Mayor Peter Clavelle is about to announce his pick for

chief of police. Mayor Moonie will choose between two current deputy chiefs: Steve Wark and Tom Tremblay.

The two are “extremely qualified,” according to Police Commission Chairman Gerry O'Neill. But there are a couple differences. For one, take the voice-mail greetings of each candidate. Tremblay’s is cut and dried: “Sorry I’m not here to take your call. Leave a message and I’ll call you right back.” Wark’s message adds a sort of New Age twist. Not only is he sorry he’s not there to take your call, he also takes the time to let you know, “Your call is important to me!” Funny, Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Jack McMullen uses the same time-wast ing line on his voice-mail message. The other difference between Wark and Tremblay is where they’ll live and pay taxes if tapped by Clavelle to be chief of police. A chief might keep a closer eye on the overtime if his personal property taxes are paying for it. Burlington currently requires city department heads to live in the city they serve. There is wiggle room, however. A department head can apply to thexity council for a waiver. That’s what the fire chief Mike O'Neill did. Asked if he would move into Burling ton if chosen top cop, Tom Tremblay of Essex told Seven Days “If requested to move, I’ll move.” Tom Terrific said he has discussed the possibility with his wife and kids. “We’re prepared to move into Burling ton,” he said. Wark was asked the same question, but he gave a very different answer. Wark said he “hopes not to have to move.” He currently resides in Colchester, where he also serves as chairman of the Colchester Planning Commission, a posi tion he would like to retain. Interesting. Stevie Wonderful’s so tal ented he can serve two towns simultane ously! Wark added that he’d been told “there would be flexibility” on the issue of resi dency. By whom? “By the mayor,” he replied. Mayor Moonie was a little fidgety when we asked him about the residency requirement. He quickly whipped out a copy of the city ordinance and stuck it in our hands. We told da’ mayor we were aware of the ordinance and its loophole, but what was his stand on the matter? Should Burlington’s chief of police live in Burlington? “I’m not a big fan of residency require ments,” answered Clavelle. “Having said that, I think the next chief needs to live in the city.” Was that both sides of Moonie’s mouth, or what? Our hunch? He’s leaning toward the guy with the New Age phone message.

Cprses, F oiled A gain Police charged Jonathan Rodriguez, 17, Daniel Cote, 19, and Joseph Denham, 18, after they tried to invade a home near Newport, Delaware. They were forced to flee before gaining entry when Rodriguez pounded on the door with the butt of a handgun and shot himself in the groin. New Castle County police found the getaway car described by the homeowner at a near by hospital emergency room, where Rodriguez was being treated for a gun shot wound. • Police in Soerum, Norway, arrested a 19-year-old man suspected of ransack-

wear. The company explained that it is targeting middle-class women, aged 18 to 40, who can afford to spend $3 to $6 on a bra. Stores in major cities will stock the lingerie and encourage women to come in and try on the bras, rather than buy in bulk or have their husband go to the store for them, as is customary in a country where buying underwear is an embarrassing act.

S p ecia l D eliv ery Ohio authorities charged Caitlyn Derek, 19, of Fostoria with mailing a prison inmate several letters that had marijuana hidden under the postage stamps. Officials at the Lorain Correctional Institution in Grafton said they intercepted 10 let ters from Derek to the unnamed inmate whose stamps each concealed less than a gram o f marijuana. • A German court sentenced a 36year-old former letter carrier to per form 200 hours o f community service for failing to deliver 61,000 letters over 2 1/2 years. After residents of Neuss complained about missing deliveries, police discovered mounds of letters found throughout the man’s house. “He said he had too many let ters to deliver on his round,” a court representative said. “He was hoping to deliver the other stuff when he had a bit o f breathing space.”

Making W hoopi?

o one in Maple Corner is whoopi-ing it up just yet, but the rumor is that Caryn Johnson — a.k.a. comic actress Whoopi Goldberg — is buying a country home on Curtis Pond in Calais. Priced at $2 million, Remember Kent Farm is a fivebedroom home on 219 acres, complete with guesthouse, tennis court and stables. No mention o f “Good Fences” — the Frostian title of Goldberg’s latest movie. The property is “under agreement,” according to the LandVest Web site, but real estate agent Wade W eathers would not give up the identity of the prospective buyer. “I don’t know that that’s really true,” Weathers said of the Goldberg rumor. Seller Charles R ubner was no more forthcoming. “I have not met the buyer and I can’t confirm who might be acquiring the property,” he said. But Rubner did say he’s a regular “Whoopi” watcher Tuesday nights on NBC. Vermonters may soon get a closer look.

CULTURE SHOCK The “rock star of tomic development” played to a - a pacity crowd last Thursday a#pity Hall in Burlington. “I see three university pres idents, CEOs from most major firms in the city, artists, entrepreneurs — you’re all here,” Burlington Mayor P eter Clavelle said by way o f introducing Richard Florida, an economics professor at Carnegie Mellon and author of The Rise o f the Creative Class. The high-ranking groupies came to hear Florida riff on his hit theory: that developing unique, diverse, eco-friendly cities — complete with plenty of art, recreational opportuni-

RICHARD FLORIDA ties and non-generic goods — is the best way to bring on business. He was only half joking when he recommended meas uring the economic vitality of a burg by its number of gay-owned businesses and fo rk ing rock ’n roll bands. Attracting investment with tax cuts and highway interchanges is old economic history, according to Florida. Now, he said, “It’s a worldwide competition for who can attract and mobilize the most creative assets.” That sure sounded good to the audience in light of recent job cuts at IBM. Btit how do you improve your cre ative appeal?v“In Austin it was organic,” Florida said of the lively Texas city. “Today it has to be strategic.” Florida

brought along Kirk Watson, Austin’s for mer mayor, to run a workshop for plan ners and politicians the following day. In six hours, the group came up with a number of local initiatives designed to strengthen downtowns, encourage entre preneurial activity and increase the state’s telecommunications infrastructure. If only our national leaders got the picture too. “Austin gave us Willie Nelson,” Florida observed. “Let’s hope Burlington can give us a better president.”

out by Halloween. Now that's scary.

PLAYING IT DANGEROUS If Edinburgh’s “Fringe” Festival is a proving ground for playwrights, Adriano S h aplin may have finally hit pay dirt. Now based in Oakland, the former Burlingtonian wowed U.K. critics with a political drama about ideological conflicts within an elite group of Marines plotting the assassination of a Middle Eastern leader. Pugilist Specialist beat out count less other offerings to rank as “perhaps the most truly grown-up piece of theater on this year’s Fringe,” according to The Scotsman newspaper. The play’s success was quickly parlayed into a three-month European tour. Burlington actor Paul Schnabel plays a key role in Shaplin’s ensemble, The Riot Group, and will be traveling with the troupe this winter. “So many people saw it, it was crazy,” Schna bel says, noting even actor Sean Connery made an appearance. “We were, like, the number-one show in the Fringe.” FREEPY BUSINESS The Burlington Free Press unveiled its new look on Sunday — expanded local news, more arts and a redesigned editorial page. But there was no explanation for the paper’s latest method of advertising: yellow sticky ads obscuring stories. Monday’s edition arrived with one attached like a lamprey to the front page. Price tag?

THE PUZZLE:

As you can guessfrom her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to pre dict. Her likes and dislikes changefrom one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Keep in mind that 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 said to her mechanic, "Don't you leer at me or I'll give you a fat U P !" In return he said, "Your RECEPTACLE is about as appealing as a cuspidor."

Weird Willy told Fannie that dead bodies won't fit in the trunk of her COROLLA.

BY CECIL ADAMS ALL W O RTH W H ILE HUMAN K N O W L E D G E infringement on its First Amendment right to free speech. (This year, for example, we saw N ike v. Kasky.) You’re thinking: By what tortured reasoning did the Supreme Court decide that corporations were protected by the 14th Amendment, which everyone knows was enacted to protect the rights o f real people? Answer: Apparently it didn’t decide. As revealed by our friend bex — and detailed by T hom Hartmann in Unequal .Protection: The Rise o f Corporate Dominance a n d the Theft o f H um an Rights (2002) — the whole thing began a£ a courtroom comment by a udge, which was elevated to the status o f l precedent by overreaching cofart « p t

Here’s jvhat happened. Santa Clara bounty in California was trying to levy a property tax against the Southern Pacific Railroad. The railroad gave numerous reasons why it shouldn’t have to pay, one o f which rested on the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause: The railroad was Dear Cecil, A recent article on the Straight Dope Web site says that in a fam ous 1 8 8 6 case the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that corpora tions are “p ersons”having the same rights as hum an beings based on the 14th Amendment, which was intended to protect the rights o f former slaves. N o t to nitpick, but the Supreme Court made no such decision. I f you look at the case in question, Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Company, you see that the court itself never rules on personhood. A court reporter by the name o f f. C. Bancroft Davis (a form er railroad president) snuck that “ruling” into the books. — bex via the Straight Dope Message Board We’ve dealt with some weird topics in this column — quan tum mechanics, penile lengthening, Circus Peanuts. But for my money the personhood o f corporations proves there’s nothing so strange as the law. Most people have a general idea what corporations are. Some may even know that, for most o f U.S. history, corpo rations have been considered “artificial persons.” The con cept isn’t as nutty as it sounds. From a legal standpoint, cor porations can do many o f the same things that natural per sons do — buy and sell property, hire and fire, sue and be sued and so on. What most people don’t know is that after the abovementioned 1886 decision, artificial persons were held to have exactly the same legal rights as we natural folk. (N ot to mention the clear advantages corporations enjoy: They can be in several places at once, for instance, and at least in the ory they’re immortal.) Up until the New Deal, many laws regulating corporations were struck down under the “equal protection” clause o f the 14th Amendment — in fact, that clause was invoked far more often on behalf o f corporations than former slaves. Although the doctrine o f personhood has been weakened since, even now lawyers argue that an attempt to sue a corporation for lying is an unconstitutional

being held to a different standard than human taxpayers. W hen the case reached the Supreme Court, C hief Justice Morrison Waite supposedly prefaced the proceedings by say ing, “The Court does not wish to hear argument on the question whether the provision in the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution which forbids a state to deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protec tion o f the laws applies to these corporations. We are all o f the opinion that it does.” In its published opinion, however, the court ducked the personhood issue, deciding the case on other grounds. Then the court reporter, J.C. Bancroft Davis, stepped in. Although the title makes him sound like a mere clerk, the court reporter is an important official who digests dense,, rul ings and summarizes key findings in published “headnotes.” (Davis had already had a long career in public service, and at one point was president o f the board o f directors for the Newburgh & New York Railroad Company.) In a letter, Davis asked Waite whether he could include the latter’s courtroom comment — which would ordinarily never see print — in the headnotes. Waite gave an ambivalent response that Davis took as a yes. Eureka, instant landmark ruling. Does this flaky procedure mean all later cases relying on Santa Clara are null and void? Nope — in the world o f the law, a precedent is a precedent, even if it’s a stupid one. However, Hartmann’s book has caused a stir in legal circles, and some hope the Supreme Court will take another look at corporate personhood. A few naifs think a reversal will spell the end o f global corporate tyranny. Ain’t gonna happen — fact is, the courts have been chipping away at corporate per sonhood for years, and you don’t exactly see our capitalist overlords suffering from it. But it’d be nice to have a clearcut ruling, say, that limiting campaign contributions by big businesses doesn’t mean you’re restricting their First Amendment rights.

NAME JO B LOCATION IMAGE Jordan Silverman

obert Compton has been pottering away in the Bristol area for more than 30 years. On his Web site he admits, that “As with many potters, my addiction to clay was both immediate and irreversible.” Lack of formal artistic training has done little to hamper his enthusiasm, or success. After selling hanging aquari ums and groundbreaking water sculptures, in the early 1990s he switched gears to produce work on a smaller, more personal scale. Now Compton is a wiry 55-year-old with dark brown hair barely turning to gray, and swiff, expressive hands. He’s spry, except for an occasionally trou blesome back. “They don’t teach you to throw ergonomically,” he says, stoop------------------------ing over an imaginary wheel. “It’s like someone handing Robert Compton you a broom that’s a foot long and telling you to sweep Potter the floor.” Bristol For years, Compton threw — or rather, molded — more than 1000 pounds of clay daily. He still puts in 14-hour days, throwing about 100 pounds of clay with an artisan’s eye for quality over quantity. The vessels in Compton’s Bristol showroom have dramatically different appearances. Each one is marked by its firing process: gas, electric and woodfired kilns, raku or pit-fired. Among these, wood-fired stoneware is emerging as his first love. “Hare’s fur” drips in the interior curve of one blue-gray bowl. Drops from the roof of the kiln on a vase form smoky stains — they’re called “potter’s tears” in Japan, and in Germany, “kiln shit.” Compton and his wife Christine are putting the finishing touches on a massive, 11,000-brick, 21-foot-long, three-chamber Noborigama wood-firing kiln that will likely require 30 hours of fire and will hold 250 cubic feet of pots. It will be the largest wood-fired kiln in Vermont. Made of sun-colored brick, each vent and doorway has an arch over it, giving the kiln the appear ance of a small, roofless church.

ROBERT COM PTON: I always wanted to be a farmer, actually. But its a tough way to make a living. If you don’t inherit a farm, then you’re probably not going to do it. Pottery did a lot of the things that agriculture does for me. You work with your hands, you work outdoors a fair amount, you’re self-employed, you make your own hours — and even if they’re all your waking hours, at least you have a bit of control over your own-life,

wood-fired, and the kiln that we’re building currently — which is about nine times the size of any other kiln we have here — is perpetuating that movement for us. We’re moving over to wood as a fuel primarily because of the effects that the fly ash — that the firing process itself — has on the pots. I don’t paint flowers and do decora tions on pottery... I’m more focused on what the firing process does to the surface of the work and how the firing itself can actually decorate the pots, as opposed to me contriving a pattern.

action and the surface of the pot might actually start to look like an onion skin; it’ll be still rough with the texture of clay, but getting kind of glassy. It has a certain tension, almost like skin... If you continue to add more salt — more in the realms of what we work in — you build so much salt on the surface of the pot that it starts to become like an orange peel. The salt starts to build up on the surface of the pot and forms this kind of textural quality that I find very unique. SD: Is th ere a lo t o f trial and

SB: W hat is salt glazing?

RC: Salt glazing goes hand in hand for us with wood firing. The pots are left unglazed and, at about 2000 degrees, you throw the salt in the kiln. The heat breaks the bonds and releas es the sodium, and the free sodium chemically reacts with the silica in the clay and forms glass. The atmosphere — literally the vapors in the kiln — is the flux... It’s a very unusual firing method, and one that’s not done very often because it eats away your whole kiln. Over time, the whole kiln is like a big glass box when you open it.

RC: When I move into wood-firing, the upfront acknowledgment has to be made that you’re going into a firing process where there’s less control, and you have to give up a certain amount of control and accept greater losses. If you want consistency, there are other firing methods, like electric firing, where the kiln is very evenly heated and there are no atmospheric condi tions, and the pots and glazes come out very consistent. The kiln itself will not modify the glaze from one side of SD: How do you m ake a livin g? the pot to the other.

sharpen his environmental cre dentials this week by issuing an executive order directing state government to set a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emis sions 25 percent by 2012. Jimmy D even trotted out VPIRG lob byist Curt McCormack to stand in the camera shot and “com mend” Jimmy D for signing the executive order. But when asked what the number-one cause of greenhouse gas emissions in Vermont was, the Gov started to blush and quickly called Environmental Commissioner J e ff W ennberg and his aide Dick V a len tin etti to the front of the room to pro vide an answer. We didn’t think it was that tough a question. Honest. Cars and trucks are the biggest source of greenhouse, they said. But when Jimmy D was asked if he supported higher fuel effi ciency standards for cars, he declined to take a position. We asked the Gov if he knew what the second-largest source of greenhouse gases in Vermont was. He didn’t know. And when we asked Douglas if he knew who the largest pri vate contributor of greenhouse gases in Vermont is (maybe IBM?), Douglas stepped out of his normal cardboard character and blasted yours truly for even a&king the question. T in t’s right,1 ; Jim Douglas got testjCS^Mmously/' he reads this column. v. The Gov said the real problem was our inability to accept the fact that a Republican can sup port the environment. He never did answer the ques tion about greenhouse gases. But the astonishing news was Jimmy D ’s characterization of the controversial Circ Highway Project. Bet you thought it was a transportation project, right? Ready for this one? Governor Douglas said the Circ Highway is actually an “environmental project.” It will reduce idling time in traffic, he said, and thus reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Following Gov. Douglas’ logic, we could build 10 more Circ highways around Vermont and reduce greenhouse gas emis sions to zero! P.S. When asked if he agreed with Jimmy D ’s assessment of the Circ, VPIRG’s McCormack uttered a quiet “no,” and instant ly turned beet red. Curt quickly backed away from the micro phones.

Bernie s a Northsider, Howard lives on the South side. And miles apart is where they stood politically over the years. So it is with a critical eye that Mr. Sanders has been watching what Mr. Dean has been doing over the last nine months. Sur prisingly, Bernie likes what he sees. “Dean and his staff are run ning a brilliant campaign,” Sanders told Seven Days. “They’re energizing a lot of people all over this country. I applaud them for that.” Sanders told Seven Days that over the years he has “lamented” the lack of young people involved in the political process. But Dean crowds, packed with students and twentysomethings, have caught Ol’ Bernardo’s eye. “I applaud Gov. Dean for doing that,” said Ol’ Bernardo. The former Burlington mayor and seven-term congressman has watched Howard Dean develop over the last 20 years. The latest version is the one he likes best. “On the issues,” said Sanders, “I’m glad that after 12 years as governor o f the state of Vermont, Howard has suddenly concluded he really is a Progressive!” The new Howard Dean is staunchly pro-labor and bitterly opposes tax cuts for the rich. “Many of the issues that I and others have talked about,” said, Bernie, “are now issues he feels confortable speaking about. I’m delighted with that.”

H alf-truth D oesn't Cut I t -f " ;• A letter in the Seven Days “Mailbag” last week accused yours truly o f revisionist history concerning the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident that triggered the disastrous U.S. military inter vention in Vietnam. The previous week, “Inside Track” compared the North Vietnamese gunboats that attacked the USS Maddox to Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, which Dubya & Co. insisted were ready to be turned on America. Neither the gunboats nor the WMDs existed, we wrote. Rising to President Bush’s defense, letter writer Roger D onegan of Hinesburg noted an August 2, 1964, incident in which North Vietnamese gun boats attacked the destroyer. The USS Maddox was not damaged. Mr. Donegan is correct as far as the events of August 2, 1964, are concerned, but he conven iently left out what happened next. You see, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, the “attack” by the North Vietnamese that sparked a presidential TV address to the nation, did not take place until D eanW atch2004 — In 1991 two days later, on August 4. Bernie Sanders was sworn in as It was night. The USS congressman. The same year, Maddox and the USS Turner Joy Howard D ean was sworn in as were on joint patrol. The sonar governor. But their two paths man on the Maddox heard what rarely crossed over the next he thought were enemy vessels decade. In fact, it wasn’t until the approaching.

Stockdale once recalled he had “the best seat in the house to watch that event, and our destroyers were just shooting at phantom targets — there were no PT boats there... There was nothing there but black water and American fire power.” In a 2001 interview (available at www.achievement.org), Stockdale called the August 4 Tonkin Gulf incident “a big screw-up. Even in the intelli gence community,” said Stockdale, “nobody disputes it now. There were bullets fired, but they weren’t fired off of PT boats out there.” Within days, the infamous Gulf of Tonkin Resolution passed the House 416-0 and sped through the Senate on an 88-2 vote. The good o f USA went to war over those phantom PT boats. Like Dubya’s Iraq Resolution, LBJ’s Tonkin Gulf Resolution handed the president of the United States a blank check to take whatever military action he deemed appropriate. In 1964, Congress gave Lyndon Joh n so n of Texas the green light “to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent fur ther aggression.” In 2002, Congress gave George W. B ush of Texas the green light, “to ^ t h e ^ n ^ d , Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to defend the national security of the United States against the contin uing threat posed by Iraq.” One year after the gunboat attack that never happened, Stockdale was shot down and captured. He endured seven years of confinement and torture and inspired his fellow POWs with his courageous resistance to his captors. Upon his release Stockdale was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. However, it’s not just Admiral Stockdale and patriotic Bush opponents who make this case, Mr. Donegan. It’s the official history of the United States Navy. According to Edward J. Marolda, Senior Historian at the Department of the Navy’s National Historical Center, “More recent analysis of the data and additional information gath ered on the August 4 episode now makes it clear that North Vietnamese naval forces did not attack Maddox and Turner Joy that night in the summer of 1964.” You can read Marolda’s December 12, 2001, report on what really happened in the Gulf of Tonkin at www.history. navy.mil/faqs/faq 120-1. htm. Folks, Donegan pitched a half-truth. Bad boy, Roger. We stand by our story. ®

ifty thousand gallons of water are required to make the rayon for a sin gle living room carpet, notes musician Paul W inter in the introduction to Water Music. And that’s just one of many ways we humans squander our most important resource. As we poi son our lakes, rivers and streams, bot tled-water sales skyrocket. Recently, Winter says, the Boris scale has been developed to measure the vitality of water, comparing, for example, the treated stuff that comes through our faucets with water in the wild. But science is not the focus of Water Music, a new book by Marjorie Ryerson, a photographer and profes sor at Castleton State College. Rather, it is about the beauty, the power and the ineffable mystery of water — and the myriad ways it inspires us. Ryerson conceived and orchestrated Water Music, a coffee-table volume fea turing her own gorgeous, reverent pho tographs of water and text provided by 66 internationally known musicians. Though on the surface just another pretty picture book, Water Music in fact has a persuasive power of its own. And that’s not only because it has a mission: Ryerson is donating net royalties from the book to the Water Music Fund, established for the United Nations Foundation to aid water purification efforts and to help provide clean drink ing water for families around the globe. The genius behind Water Music is hinted at in the title; Ryerson asked musicians to speak to the topic of water because, she suggests, the stuff is inherently musical. Water is always associated with sound — cascading, bubbling, dripping, roaring. More than that, the movement of water parallels the variety of moods that can also be found in music. Ryerson, an amateur musician herself, intuitively arrived at the idea that a book about water ought to include musicians. “The book has felt like such a natural direction for me that I’ve often had the sense that I didn’t even ‘create’ Water Music, that I merely arrived at a point in my life in which the ele ments of my life had all come togeth er to allow me to steer this big project forward,” she told an interviewer for the University of Michigan. “The book has flowed, just like a river, at its own pace.” Three years in the making — not including the photographs Ryerson has taken addictively over the course of many more years — Water Music found its own level, as it were, in becoming a vehicle for not only cele brating water but trying to assist the endangered waterways of planet Earth. What Ryerson got from the participat ing musicians, however, gives her book the passion and profundity a mere collection of photos would lack. Not to mention celebrity appeal. The musicians, while mostly from

the classical and jazz arenas, run the gamut from opera diva Renee Fleming to Phish bassist Mike Gordon, from American folk legend Pete Seeger to Russian pianist-con ductor Vladimir Ashkenazy. The text ranges from lengthy essays to haiku to scores for music inspired in some way by water. Ryerson spent thousands of hours hunting down addresses for the musi cians she sought. W hen they received her letter explaining the book’s con cept — along with some sample pho tographs — most were immediately enthralled. “I got many passionate and enthusiastic fan letters about my photos, to my absolute amazement and delight, from these astoundingly talented international stars,” Ryerson marvels. “But those who joined the project also seemed to share my per spective in a variety of ways beyond concern for water.” Not surprisingly, some o f the con tributors are more eloquent than oth ers; some share personal anecdotes while others wax philosophic, even mystical. Jazz pianist Brad Mehldau offers this: “Flowing water and music both teach us something about time. They remind us that time isn’t a series

of enclosed moments, but something more constant. ‘Beginning’ and ‘end’ are us — our own fictions, our own mortality.” Classical pianist Emmanuel Ax makes the observation, “You never step into the same river twice” — an adage referring to the constant flow of a river, and which serves as a perfect metaphor for the passage of time. “This is especially true for us musi cians,” he continues. “We spend so much of our lives in the process of deepening our understanding and, in the process, our love for great master pieces. The notes remain the same, but the emotions they arouse, and the way we translate the notes, change ever so subdy over time; every per formance is a process of change. Perhaps that is why so many com posers have been inspired by water — the eternal which is never the same.” Not all of the writers make refer ence to music. Kronos Quartet founder and violinist David Harrington reminds us that the Earth and its environment comprise an enclosed ecosystem in which water constandy renews itself — falling, con densing, falling again. “On the surface of each rifetp' ofwattr tmetmMagfae *

seeing reflected the mirror image of every form life has yet taken,” he muses. “Water has seen it all, its mole cules have been through it all, and yet water silently continues to hold the secrets of its immense past. Perhaps the next raindrop once moistened the eye of a browsing dinosaur. Wouldn’t it be amazing to be able to know the entire history of a single drop of water, a bead of sweat or a tear?” Amazing, indeed. Contemplating the subject of the world’s water is nearly as heady as trying to wrap your mind around the universe. Perhaps humans respond and gravitate to water because the stuff comprises 97 percent of our own bodies. And, as W inter notes, we develop in an amniotic sea before birth. Despite the profundity of the sub ject and the altruism behind the book, neither Ryerson nor her con tributors get soapboxy in Water Music — though many emphasize the pre ciousness of the life-giving fluid. W hat comes through most is a sense of genuine, universal awe, the kind of feeling we humans get in the presence of something bigger than ourselves. In this case, something that both literally

GoodDrink. Great Food. Exceptional Service. Casting a world-wide personal network without leaving home oward Dean is my friend...ster. Were not exacdy friends, really. I mean, we’ve only met once? and I done think he got my name. But when I search the www.friend ster.com database for everyone in my “per sonal network” within a 25ifiiMe radius, the ubiquitous presidential candidate’s STORY photo and personal profile appear on my CATHY RESMER computer screen. According to his bio, Howard’s interests include “building my grassroots campaign, restoring America’s IMAGE MATTHEW standing in the world, getting back the THORSEN 2.5 million jobs George W. Bush has lost.” Dean is just one of the 228 people in my personal network who live nearby. I’m connected to all of them through 12 peo ple I’ve listed on my account as “friends.” When my real-life pals add me as their online friend, Friendster.com instantly links me to them, and to all of their other friends, and to all of their friends friends. I can sort this list by interest or by geogra phy. I can send these people messages through the site, cruise their personal pro files and ask the friends who connected us for an introduction. Sounds like a dating service, right? Some people do use it that way — you can indicate whether you’re looking for a date. But many users are in long-term relationships already, or just aren’t interest ed in going out with people they meet online. Like me, these people connect to Friendster because it’s fun. It’s like the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game, except you’re Kevin Bacon. The object is simple: to connect to as many people as possible. Friendster is also addictive. I admit I’m obsessed with the site. I’ve been logging on every few hours to watch my friendster total climb like a hot tech stock in the late 1990s. As of this writing, my network consists o f 132,500 friendsters. And I’ve spent hours sifting through the friend pos sibilities. Right here in Chittenden County I could find Michelle, who likes sarcasm, pirates and shuffle puck, or Noah, who likes denouncing things, mis anthropy and “bustin’ up old junk.” . , , .

now boasts more than a mil lion users. In an August article > .r on Salon.com, Michelle is n Cohen, 1 Web producer from iVillage.com, calls Friendster “the biggest and fastest-spread ing street-level social meme in my cyber lifetime.” Not sur prisingly, it’s most popular among the tech-sawy urban hipster crowd, who use terms like “meme” — by which they mean a contagious idea that works its way into the cultural consciousness. But Friendster.com is more than just a way to meet people and explore a multitude of unlikely connections. Its also a way to advertise your hipness. Users post goofy photos and dis play carefully calculated interests and tastes. More importantly, users can post testimonials about their friends, which can be very entertaining. “If Lisa were a breed of dog,” reads one, “she’d be a hot dog, or a prairie dog, or a shibu inu.” One of my own testimoni als, from my friend Roshni, who invited me to Friendster, reads, “Cathy’s photo might remind you of Marcy, from the ‘Peanuts’ comic strip. O f course, she’s actually nothing like Marcy. She’s a bad-ass muthafukka in disguise. When she skulks around in the win ter, the snow melts in fear.” No one has ever said anything so colorful about me before. Jesse Krembs, the Web guy at Magic Hat brewery, says the testimonials make the site a public reputation system. “They’re an online way of say ing, ‘What this person says is »

true, ” explains the 25-year-old Burlingtonian. “Its a vouching system.” I’m connected to Krembs, who uses the pseudonym “Agent X,” through my friend Ethan. Krembs responded to my message about meeting at Muddy’s, but said he couldn’t attend. Instead, we spoke over the phone. Krembs has never used Friendster to meet anyone. He’s more interested in the site as a sport. “It’s like this weird kind of game,” he suggests. Krembs and his friends compete to get “better friendster scores.” He’s currently connected to more |han 200,000. Brian Gina is aiso in my net work. He emailed to say he couldn’t come to Muddy’s, either, but he didn’t mind answering a few questions. A grad student at UVM who DJs Thursday nights at 135 Pearl, Cina says he got into Friendster through pals in New York. “It’s really big there,” he says. “People are using ‘friendster’ as a verb now, like Googling.” Cina says he’s connected to between 200,000 and 300,000 people on his network, though most of them aren’t local. “I emailed a few people around here and nobody signed up,” he says. “People just totally ignored it, like it was a scourge upon their inbox.” Green Mountain cyber bugs might be slower than their bigcity friends to catch on to the trend, but someone has figured out a helpful way to connect them once they do log on. Some enterprising user has cre ated a “Burlington” profile that users can link to as if it were a friend. Burlington’s interests include Church Street, great hikes and mountain sports. So far it lists 43 friends, many of whom have posted testimonials. Here’s one from “Alex”: “I finally broke up with you and went with another city that also had the coffee and microbrew and dogs and rugged folk and slacker folk that you did, but who didn’t keep me up all night with that fratboy “woooooooo!” mating call and who had better ideas for things to do at night and who likes bands that aren’t Phish, but you were good for

me when I was younger.” Since Burlington is not actu ally a person, it’s known as a “fakester.” Fakesters invite peo ple they don’t really know to be their friends. Being friends with a fakester is a one-sided affair. Your fakester friend will not write testimonials or vouch for you. Fakesters violate the central principle of a vouching system, which is that everyone in your network knows someone you know, if only vaguely. Even so, calling Burlington my friend increased my friend ster score by 80,000. It was worth it. iSo much so th^t I couldn’t insist adding; “Luke | a Skywalker” to my friend list. Luke and his rebel friends brought an additional 40,000 people to my network. But none of my online net working helped bring real live people to Muddy Waters on Thursday night. I arrived early and, afraid people wouldn’t rec ognize me, wrote a sign saying “Friendster?” in black marker. I then sat on the stoop outside, holding my sign, waiting for the mob to arrive. But no one showed up. Not even my real friend Sara, who isn’t on Friendster but said she’d come just to see who else was there. After a while, I started to feel like a beggar with my pathetic sign. A woman who was sitting inside came out to ask what I was doing. As I explained it to her she stared at me with a bemused smile, as if she both pitied me and found me funny. While we were talking, another woman walked past and said, “Friendster is bad. Don’t do it!” Shortly thereafter, my new almost-friend walked back into the coffeeshop. I finally did have an actual conversation with one of my friendsters when, 12 or so min utes later, a group of six smartly dressed, energetic people approached and recognized me. They looked as if they had just beamed down from a much big ger, more stylish, better con nected city. They were all from the Dean campaign, and with them was Zephyr Teachout, Dean’s director of online organ izing and outreach. She’s on my friendster network. , ,,

R s s t a u r a n t “We’re here for the flash mob!” the group said. “You’re it,” I told them. They had been confused by my message and were crestfallen to discover I’d only wanted to meet friends. They didn’t care about Friendster; they just wanted to be where the action was. I apolo gized for luring them from their work with the false prom ise of a crowd. The group dis persed, though Teachout let me pick her brain for half an hour about the campaign’s use of social-networking software. She told me that my good friendster, Howard Dean, was in fact a fakester. I’d suspected as much, seeing as how I’d stumbled across “Howard Dean” several times while browsing friendster interest lists. I figured that Dean’s Web team had posted the bios, but Teachout says no, it’s all “them” — the zealous Deaniacs. Teach out isn’t about to squelch this friendster frenzy, bizarre as it may be. Dean’s presence on the Friendster site, she says, allows him to become “a hub” for sup porters to find each other. The campaign’s only Friendster strat egy so far has been to stay out of the way. Apparendy it’s working — their research shows that Friendster directs a large amount of traffic toward the official cam paign site. Teachout is excited about the possibility of social net working sites like Friendster. “It’s even better for organizing than it is for dating,” she tells me. “W ith dating, you find someone and you stop looking. When you’re organizing, you just keep meeting people.” A couple weeks ago, the campaign launched its own ver sion of Friendster, called Deanlink (www. deanlink. com). It copies Friendster s most addictive elements: Deanlinkers create profiles, post pictures and invite their friends to join. They can then log in to watch the Deanlinker total rise. The site also names the top 10 Deanlinkers, their success defined by the number of peo ple they’ve attracted to the site. But Deanlink isn’t as spunky or creative as Friendster, and, says, Teachout, that’s no acci dent. Whereas Friendster encourages users to browse pro files online, Deanlink and the other campaign Web tools want users to log off and get together with other supporters in the real world. Apparently, Friendster users aren’t as motivated to meet face to face. A dozen or so Friendster users have emailed me since the Muddy Waters meeting but I suspect that few of them actually use the site for making friends. Brian Cina probably spoke for most Friendster users when he said, “Let’s say, for some weird rea son, I moved to Idaho and I was alone in Idaho looking for friends. I might use it to meet friends then. But really, I don’t have the time to look for new friends.” ®

he “Thank you, Jim” bumper stickers have faded now, as has the importance of the event that occasioned them. But Sen. James Jeffords’ defection from the Republican Party certainly seemed historic at the time. Satellite TV trucks ringed the Radisson in Burlington on May 24, 2001. And hundreds of Jeffords’ constituents cheered and chanted as the previously lowprofile politician told the world of a decision that tipped the balance * of ppwer in the United States Senate. sBy single-handedly erasing the GOP’s majority, Jeffords appeared to have frustrated President George W. Bush’s plans to set the country of^a hard-rightward course. Overnight, Jeffords was cast in the unlikely :role of avenging super hero. Millions of Americans who believed Bush had stolen the elec tion seven months earlier found sweet satisfaction in Jeffords’ move to disempower a president they viewed as illegitimate. Jeffords’ fame lasted a lot ■ longer than 15 minutes. For many months after what University of Vermont political scientist Frank Bryan recalls as that “orgasmic” i day at the Radisson, Jeffords was i hailed almost everywhere he went — nowhere more so than in Vermont — as the courageous sav ior of the nation’s soul. Soon enough, however, far more unimaginable events would dwarf the significance of what Jeffords had done and would in fact lead to the undoing of its effects. A year and a half after Jeffords’ announcement — and less than two months after September 11 — the Republicans unexpectedly recaptured control of the Senate.

■ft*, .v;

In som e ways, it now seem s

that Jeffords’ action actually has been of little consequence. Congressional scholar and UVM professor Garrison Nelson says he can think of no Senate vote during those 18 months that would have turned out differently hadffeffords remained a Republican. Partly because of the patriotic fervor that swept the country in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks, Bush was able to advance his agenda on Capitol Hill even more effectively than prior to Jeffords’ declaration of independence. »

But the political ramifications of that move do continue to reverberate, albeit at a lower frequency. Vermont’s junior senator is now viewed much differ ently by his colleagues on both sides of the Senate aisle. And among Americans generally, Jeffords will never again experience anonymity. “People still come up to me every day and shake my hand,” he says. “I gave a lot of people hope that things can change for the better.” A key question, though, is whether Jeffords has become more or less effective as a senator. How much influence does he now have over legislation? And has his abandonment of the majority party proven harmful to a small state that could be made to suffer by a withholding of federal largesse? Partisans, experts and the senator himself offer different answers: Some say Jeffords made a reckless decision that must now be seen as a colossal blunder. Others argue that his correct choice greatly enhanced his political stature and, at the very least, has had no negative consequences for Vermont. Nothing has shaken Jeffords’ own certainty that he did the right thing. He calls the move away from his ancestral political home “the most positive thing I’ve ever done.” No one doubts that the switch has been beneficial to the man personally. Veteran Jeffords watchers agree that he has seemed far more psychically serene since leaving the GOP. “He has the air of a liberated man,” comments a Senate staffer who has observed Jeffords closely, both before and after the big switch. In the months leading up to his decampment, Jeffords had been “utterly miserable,” says Ross Baker, a Rutgers professor who specializes in the his tory of Congress. Though always something of a maverick throughout his 28-year career on Capitol Hill, Jeffords had been able to develop a modus vivendi with his fellow Republicans, Baker notes. Even conservative ideologues generally forgave Jeffords’ votes against his own party, understanding that Vermonters would not re-elect a senator who took consistendy right-wing stands. That tolerance evaporated after the Democrats nearly took control of the Senate in the 2000 elec tion. Trent Lott, the Mississippi reactionary who served as Senate Majority Lead6f, dispatched enforcers to discipline Jeffords and the few other Republicans who still dared to carry on bipartisan relations. “Trent Lott did all he could to keep impor tant legislation out of the committee Jeffords chaired, and it got very frustrating for Jim,” Baker recounts. Since bailing out, “Jeffords’ attitude has been one of exultation,” Baker observes. Gary Nelson agrees, noting, “Jim Jeffords is happy because he’s doing what’s appropriate for Jim Jeffords. The Republican hard right were not the people he wanted to be asso ciated with.”

Critics contend, however, that Jeffords failed to

give warranted weight to other considerations. During the first half of 2001, he was the only highranking Vermont politician who belonged to the party in control of both the White House and Congress. The state’s pipeline to power in Washington closed when Jeffords bolted. For the first time since 1974, notes Middlebury College political scientist Eric Davis, one of the two major parties is unrepresented in Vermont’s congressional delegation. For that reason and others, says Frank Bryan, Jeffords’ move should be seen as “self-indulgent.” The senator put his own ego ahead of Vermont’s interests, adds Republican State Chairman Jim Barnett. “He had been a real workhorse for Vermont, but now he seems mainly interested in Jim Jeffords,” Barnett charges. Underlying these assessments is the commonly held belief that Jeffords’ action — and the subse quent return of the Senate to Republican control — has diminished the senator’s ability to bring the bacon home to Vermont. Darrell West, a political scientist at Brown University, judges Jeffords from that perspective. “By renouncing the Republican Party, he gave up his seniority and his ability to move legislation and bring back money to his state, West says. “It was absolutely a mistake from the stand point of serving Vermont.” Closer to home, Middlebury’s Mavis has a similar take. He sees Jeffords as “a relatively marginal figure in the Senate.” According to UVM’s Bryan, Jeffords’ effectiveness is undercut by the personal animosity of several GOP senators. “He pissed off a lot of good Republicans, Bryan says. “Nothing is as important in the U.S. Senate as a committee chairmanship, and Jeffords cost therti something they’d been working

towards for their whole careers.” An even less charitable appraisal is made by Steve Moore, head of a Washington Republican political action committee called The Club for Growth: “Jeffords deserves an award for dumbest political move of the last few years,” Moore asserts. “He gave up his chairmanship and lost a lot of his power and his friends.”

Trying to compare Jeffords' success in w inning

favors for Vermont before and after his switch is a difficult and perhaps simplistic exercise. One fairly crude method is to compare the senator’s boasts of the bounty he brought home during, say, the first four months of 2001 — the period just prior to his switch — and the first four months of 2002 and 2003. Such a calculation reveals a significant decline in the amounts of federal funding for Vermont Jeffords claimed in his own name in press releases. From nearly $8 million in the first third of 2001, the total drops to about $2 million in the corresponding period of 2002 and just $619,000 from January to April of this year. In addition, the “Working for Vermont” section of the senator’s Web site lists 31 federal projects that Jeffords has secured for Chittenden County. But nearly all these entries pre-date his departure from Republican ranks. Apprised of these findings, Jeffords’ staff was quick to supply a long list of federal appropriations the senator obtained during the past two years for Vermont organizations and initiatives. This tally enu merates several million dollars’ worth of grants for a wide variety of purposes, including affordable hous ing development, police technology upgrades, public broadcasting operations, wind energy research and restoration of covered bridges. Even some of Jeffords’ right-wing detractors acknowledge his effectiveness in funneling federal funds to Vermont. Republican PAC-man Moore, for example, notes that Jeffords’ status as the highestranking non-Republican on the Senates Environ ment and Public Works Committee “enables him to do pretty well for Vermont.” Similarly, The Congressional Pig Book, a conserva tive group’s annual compendium of “pork projects,” puts Vermont in ninth place for per capita amounts of allegedly wasteful federal spending. According to Citizens Against Government Waste, $61 million worth of pork was dished out to Vermont in fiscal 2003, or roughly $100 per Vermonter, compared to the national per capita figure of $34. Vermont had the same rank in fiscal 2002, but the state did slight ly better the previous year, weighing in sixth on the pork scale. Jeffords does not seem as proficient in bagging goodies for Vermont as does the state’s senior senator. Although he is also not a member of the Senate’s majority party, Democrat Patrick Leahy is constantly announcing new infusions of federal funds — some times for centerpiece projects such as the Leahy Center for Lake Champlain on Burlington’s down town waterfront. Capitol Hill insiders point out that Leahy,-now nearing his 30th year in the Senate, effectively wields his seniority from his plum seat on the Appropriations Committee. And the booty is particularly plentiful now that Leahy has entered the two-year cycle preceding his expected bid for re-elec tion in 2004. Senate staffers say the number and size of grants for Vermont announced by Jeffords will probably also increase as his term’s 2006 expiration date approaches.

One w indfall is already in th e works. Senate

sources say Vermont wifi receive an additional $30 million in federal highway funds for the coming year, mainly thanks to Jeffords’ ranking-member status on the Environment and Public Works panel. Congress watchers note, however, that the bonanza would be even bigger if Jeffords were chairman of the commit tee — a post he would likely now hold had he remained a Republican. “Being in the minority is always a disadvantage,” says Ed Rogers, who worked as high-ranking White House assistant under Ronald Reagan and George Bush the Elder. “And the route that Jeffords took to the minority has made him even less effective because many in the majority are less inclined to work with him.” But none of this talk about Jeffords’ juice on behalf of his home state matters much, according to Gary Nelson. “Congress members from Vermont have not been sent to Washington to get federal boo dle,” Nelson sa^. Gauging the'wisdom of Jeffdrds’

choice on that basis is “so simplistic as to be insulting. Its a naive reading of the process,” in his estimation. Baker, the Rutgers congressional scholar, suggests that individual lawmakers’ opportunities to snag swag for the home folk are rather limited. “So much of what comes to the state from the federal government is formula-driven. No senator can cause showers of gold to fall on his or her state,” Baker says. In the case of Vermont, he adds, Jeffords’ defection “probably didn’t make much of a difference.” State GOP chairman Barnett suggests, however, that the change of allegiance mattered a great deal to Vermont in at least one important regard: the Northeast Interstate Dairy Compact. “Republican leaders, especially on the dairy compact, would make special accommodations for Jeffords because he was a fellow Republican,” Barnett says. “They do him no such favors now, I can assure you.” The dairy compact, which was in effect from 1997 until October 2001, provided Vermont farmers with an estimated $60 million in assistance. The money came from a surcharge Congress imposed on milk processors. Analysts in Washington presumed that Republican lawmakers would take aim primarily at the dairy compact, which was up for renewal in 2001, as a way of punishing Jeffords for depriving the GOP of its Senate majority. And that vital program was indeed terminated a few months after the defection took place. But Jeffords calls the claim that the compact died because of his decision “baloney:” The program would not have had enough votes to survive even if he had stayed in line, the senator argues, adding, though, that his move “may have been a factor in some people’s minds.” Jeffords’ own interpretation is shared by others with a close involvement in Vermont and national politics. Luke Albee, Leahy’s chief of staff in Washington, says the compact was “all set to expire even before Jeffords left, and the chances of reautho rizing it were just about zero.” In any event, this story does have a generally happy ending. Leahy and Jeffords were able to help lasso enough support in the Senate in 2002 to engineer approval of a modified substitute for the dairy com pact prigin^lly deviled by Congressman Bemie nl, Sanders. Jeffords’ defenders say his alignment with the Democrats actually turned out to be of crucial benefit in gaining passage of the new program. Sen. Thomas Daschle, ,wfio had taken over the post of majority leader as a result of Jeffords’ switch, made sure that assistance to Vermont dairy farmers would be restored. This national system of dairy price supports was pushed through the Senate in April 2002 by a 51 -47 margin. The new initiative, which has so far brought Vermont farmers nearly $40 million, does differ in one key respect from the dairy compact. It is now American taxpayers, rather than milk processors, who finance the payments to farmers. In that way, the pro gram bears some resemblance to other U.S. agricul ture-subsidy schemes that were roundly denounced at the recent trade talks in Cancun as unfair to would-be exporters in Africa and other parts of the developing world.

Jeffords' work on th e dairy legislation is just

one example of his continuing effectiveness in the Senate, some lobbyists say. Saluting the senator’s “tremendous act of courage and conscience,” environ mental advocate Gene Karpinski finds Jeffords to be “a strong champion on environmental issues both when the Democrats were in the majority and now when they’re not.” Karpinski, director of the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, says that on environ mental matters Jeffords is “interested, available, and about the most important voice in Washington.” His standing as the sole Independent in the Senate has enabled Jeffords to communicate his views to a much wider audience, Karpinski says. “His is a unique voice that commands much more attention and respect from the media than if he were just one more Republican.” Paul Burns, head of PIRG’s Vermont branch, also finds Jeffords’ message to be more candid in its con tent as well as more powerful in its transmission. “Maybe he senses he has nothing left to lose,” Burns suggests. Late last month, for example, Jeffords railed against the Bush administration’s decision to ease enforcement of clean-air regulations on older coal-burning plants and oil refineries. Bush’s action “undermines the envi ronmental legacy of the first President Bush and guts decades of progress we’ve made on cleaning up dirty power plants* This rule is a victory for polluting *, < ■

power plants and devastating defeat for public health and the environment,” Jeffords declared. In a speech last May marking the second anniver sary of his switch, Jeffords launched an across-theboard attack on Bush’s policies. He condemned the president’s exaggerations in regard both to Iraq’s

effectively for us in certain parts of the country.” Jeffords’ supporters have a different reading of the 2002 results. And the senator himself says bygones have become bygones among Republicans in the Senate, which he describes as “a collegial place.” Even the strongest critics of Jeffords’ move acknowledge

weaponry and to the purported benefits of tax cuts that, Jeffords said, mainly benefit the rich. “What makes the actions of the Bush administration so trou blesome is the lack of honesty,” he told a National Press Club audience. “It amounts, in the end, to a pattern of deception and distortion.” On the education issues with which he has long been identified, Jeffords was equally unsparing in his assessment of Bush’s record. “While pretending to have compassion for our children, the approach of No Child Left Behind is heartless,” he thundered. Bush’s program is “part of a quiet plan to starve our public schools so this country can move to vouchers and pri vate school choice.” In an interview last week, however, Jeffords argued that the Bush administration as well as the Republican leadership in the Senate have actually become more moderate in the two-and-a-half years since he left the party. He said his action served as a warning to the White House and to the GOP hierarchy on Capitol Hill that “they would lose more votes if they stayed steadfasdy far right. I had a lot to do with that realization.” Jeffords’ analysis may explain why no other Republican in Congress has followed his lead out of the party. Perhaps the four or five similarly moderate GOP senators agree that their party’s agenda is less extreme now than in the first half of 2001. Another assessment holds, however, that no one else has wan dered from the Republican fold because the risks of such a move are widely considered to outweigh the potential rewards. Jeffords almost certainly calculated that the Democrats would remain in control of the Senate following the 2002 elections. Unable to foresee September 11 and its long-term political conse quences, Jeffords likely assumed the continuation of the tradition whereby a president’s party loses seats in Congress at mid-term. Today, most political mavens are betting that the GOP will keep control of the Senate in 2004, so GOP moderates have no desire to duplicate Jeffords’ experience of inviting the party’s retribution.

Some on Capitol Hill argue that Jeffords' defection

was a key factor in costing the Democrats their short lived Senate majority. Jeffords’ move made the Republicans even hungrier for power, said an unnamed senior GOP Senate staff aide quoted last June in Roll Call, a Capitol Hill newsletter. “He really motivated the hell out of us,” this source said. Senate Majority Whip Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, has a similar view of the effects of Jeffords’ switch. “I think it was helpful to us in the election,” McConnell told Roll Call. “It set up the obstructionism argument, which seemed, to work very

that holding grudges often proves counterproductive in an institution that lives by the adage, “It’s not the last vote that matters most; it’s the next vote.” In arguing that he retains plenty of clout, Jeffords gives the saying a slightly different spin. “Around here, yesterday’s enemy is tomorrow’s friend,” he notes. “You have to recognize you have to work with every body.” That’s especially true in a chamber where a single senator has the ability to put on hold on any piece of legislation for any reason at all. “You can’t afford to piss people off in this place, even when you have every right to be pissed off,” a Senate aide points out. Jeffords himself says he no longer feels ill will on the part of his former partymates. “I did feel it for a year or so, but now things are as normal as they’ve ever been,” he says. Apparendy, though, some GOP senators are hold ing their nose even as they turn the other cheek. Larry Craig, a conservative from Idaho, won’t even utter the name of his former partner in the Singing Senators quartet. When asked to comment on Jeffords, Craig responded “Whom?” according to Roll Call, adding, “I don’t discuss the issue.” Sen. Craig Thomas, a Wyoming Republican, also seems unwilling to forgive and forget altogether. “Most of us accept the fact that is the decision he made for himself, but most of us think it was a damn poor decision and that is not the way to operate,” Thomas told Roll Call. Even among Democrats, trust in Jeffords may be lacking, suggests Frank Bryan. “Nobody in their heart likes a traitor,” the UVM prof says. “The Democrats aren’t going to cozy up to this guy, though they’re quite happy about what he did.” Jeffords has done the Democrats plenty of favors in addition to putting them temporarily in charge of the Senate. The former Republican and now-nominal Independent raises money for Democratic candidates and twice has given the opposition’s response to the President’s weekly radio address to the nation. And it’s to the Democrats that Jeffords owes his powerful sta tus as ranking member of the Environment and Public Works Committee. Baker, the Rutgers scholar, agrees with the view that on practical matters, Jeffords is as much a Democrat as is Congressman Bernie Sanders. One outcome of the whole saga holds few specta tors in suspense. Politicos almost universally assume that Jeffords will win another term in the Senate — as an Independent this time — if he decides to run in 2006. No mighty challenger is girding for battle, con cedes state Republican chairman Barnett. And Jeffords himself leaves no doubt as to his intentions of running three years hence. “Yes, I want to do it one more time,” he says. “And all the indications from Vermonters are that.I’ll be successful*”.® /.**-*■>

are the new charming face of pop. Their catchy, orchestral tunes are the

perfect counterpoint to leader Joe Pernice's intelligent lyrics. Backed by brother Bob and a cast of star instrumentalists, Pernice's songs sparkle with breezy melodies and biting wit. Their just-released disc, Yours, Mine & Ours, is one of the year's gems. This Sunday, the band plays an early show at Club Metronome.

Peter Bruntnell and The Brilliant Mistakes open.

Contois Auditorium can be rented by the public through Burlington City Arts for a few hundred dollars and seats 365. The wrap-around balcony and large main floor area provide two-level seat ing and.vantage points for viewing the proscenium stage. Local and visiting jazz, blues, world-music and folk per formers have all found their way to Contois. But it’s dur ing the Discover Jazz Festival in June that the place really cooks.

reviewth is CA LIFORN IA STADIUM,

ALLSTATE (Self-released, CD) California Stadium, the jangly project of Andrew Basile, is back with another tantalizing musical tidbit. Though currently kicking it in Boston, Basile is a Waitsfield res ident who's been putting out tunes for years. But for all that time the Stadium have teased fans with brief EPs. Allstate, their latest stab at pop perfection, fea tures five tracks in 15 minutes. Still not long enough; to net many more hardcore fans, perhaps, but impossi ble to ignore. The band's sound is far more complex than it appears on first listen. Snippets of country twang, emo crunch and equal measures of both '60s and '90s rock pile on to create the group's groove. "Raze Your Dance Hall" adds a sensual vocal and hip shaking drum punch, making an arty, dance-ready indie cut. The title track, on the other hand, is a burst of countrified heartache. We've got our fingers crossed that Basile will soon offer up a full serving, but mean while, Allstate is a mouth-watering hors d'oeuvre.

ETHAN COVEY

FOGHORN STRIN G BAND,

RATTLESNAKE TIDAL WAVE (Self-released, CD)

r ,

Who says you have to be from the South to play great Southern music? The Foghorn String Band, a hot oldtimey quintet from Portland, Oregon, deals out some mighty catchy and very danceable music on their selfproduced release. Rattlesnake Tidal Wave. These boys have hit the nail on the head — I haven't heard this kind of music sound so right for decades, when the Red Cl^y Ramblers and the Highwoods String Baad made jaws drip and toes tap with a hopperload of old country music. In the 20 traditional numlMil ty*re, t ^ Fdghoms l$ke one 'Standuplrafss, one mandolin* one-"' ' banjo, one fiddle and one guitar, and make music that sounds like a symphony orchestra of country stomp, serving up breakdowns, hoedowns and waltzes like The Ramones in overalls. The only thing to not like about this CD is the cheesy cardboard "jewel box," which looks pretty spiffy but feels like it might fell apart at any minute. Or if you drop it on the floor, the hogs might eat it. The Foghorn String Band will perform on Friday, September 19, at the Middle Earth Music Hall in Bradford.

THE STRING CHEESE INCIDENT, UNTYING THE NOT (SCI Fidelity Records, CD) It's been over two years since The String Cheese Incident released a studio album, and they've been clear in warning fans that the new one represents "a major change in recording and per formance philosophy." Simply put, the band was getting bored and decided to shake things up. To force some creative conflict, they chose a British producer known as Youth, precisely because his approach is so different from the normal Cheese routine. The new direction isn't immediately apparent, as the first track, "Wake Up," delivers a stan dard verse/chorus/verse structure and a sound akin to that of The Band. Nothing there to scare away the hippies. The fourth track, "Orion's Belt," kicks off a stellar series of instrumentals. With its saxophone, big drums and lap steel guitar, this would fit on any number of Pink Floyd albums. "Mountain Girl," so named because of the spoken-word parts from Jerry Garcia's ex, is a trance like trip. If it reminds you of The Orb, don't be surprised: Youth has produced that group, too. "Lonesome Road Blues" is a creative blend of traditional blues and subtle techno touches. The poignant, somber "Elijah" offers a slow, sweet chorus of violin, viola, stand-up bass and piano. That's the perfect set-up for a raucous "Valley of the Jig." A pulsing house beat puts you in the middle of a city nightclub, while the melody dances through bluegrass, Celtic and even Flamenco :flavors. The band rightly compares the sound of this one to the ^fro Celt Sound System, and this at greater Cheese changes to come. *•,.«* NIS Lyrically, this collection is quite introspective, often pondering the all-too-brief glories of life. "Just Passin' Through" sums it up well: "One of these days I'm bound to yvake up dead/No one , gets out alive, I've heard it said." With black humor, they add, "I once was former; I'll soon be latter." The theme here is: Live fully before those ambulance sirens come calling for y o u . It's a simple, earnest series of reflections that would seem to apply to anyone. None of the musicianship here is strikingly complex or brilliant, but the range of instrumenta tion and styles, along with creative production, makes it compelling. The Youth movement is a winner. It will be interesting to see how this material works in a live show. Find out October 8 at UVM's Patrick Gymnasium, or October 12 at Metropolis in Montreal.

"Dock Series #8" by Rebecca Kinkead

ritish artist Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) was probably the first artist to paint smog. Working in England during the early decades of the Industrial Revolution, he often blended the haze of coal smoke with maritime fog. Turner was a master of atmospheric effects, and he was equally fond of glow ing aureoles that spread diffused light over the Thames. Rebecca Kinkead s “Dock Series” paintings at the University of Vermont’s Living/Learning Gallery are abstractions that contain sooty passages of Turneresque darks as well as his glowing brighter hues. Minnesota native Kinkead attended UVM in the late 1980s and is now based in Boston. Whether her “docks” are inspired by any of those locales is not dis closed. The nine mixed-media works in the series include acrylic, oil stick, ink and graphite, and all are calm, metaphor ical spaces shrouded in pale mist. Each is a 4-by-4-fbot painted panel except for “Dock Series # 8,” which has two con joined panels and thus is twice as long. Each piece is essentially a rich color field with added elements that appear to float over it. “Dock Series # 8” stands apart because of its size and because the values in its underlying color are more pronounced than in the other pieces. Dark browns creep up from the corners and disintegrate toward the center of the composition. Dark blotches capped with white puffs of color on the field seem vaguely floral. Paint running beneath the blotches resembles stems.

Highly controlled paint runs are a recurring theme in Kinkead s work. In “Dock Series #3” the runs are manifest ed as both positive and negative space. As positive space they are dark brown, the color of dissolving tar, and pass over lighter hues. The trails of negative-space runs, which pass over dark areas, seem to have been dissolved by water or tur pentine. An effective sequence of paint runs begins at upper right in “#3” — the delicate drips of turquoise over brown seem to emanate from beneath

bridges or pathways linking one cell to another. What is a dock if not a bridge interrupted? One end is anchored on the shore; the other is a point for both the beginning and the end of a journey. Turner s 1840 masterpiece “Slavers Throwing Overboard the Dead and Dying — Typhoon Coming On” is one of the treasures of Bostons Museum of Fine Arts, and if Kinkead hasn’t seen it she certainly should. She would find a scumbled surface similar to her own and a range of values from white to a tenebrous

T h e " D o c k S e r i e s " i s c o n t e m p la t iv e , b u t K in k e a d 's t e c h n ic a l a b ilit ie s a re w h a t

brownish-black. She would notice pale blues and greens appearing in unexpected ways, as happens in her own paintings. Kinkead may or may not be familiar with Turners dramatic flair, but the 19th-century painting suggests she could stand to turn up the fireworks a bit, even if it just means putting more movement into her compositions. And she doesn’t have to throw anyone overboard to do it. The “Dock Series” is contemplative, but Kinkead’s technical abilities make the show most interesting. It would be nice to see what might happen if she left the security of a placid shore and ven tured into an uncharted sea. ® - . * * ' • * t * t* ■■A» 3 &*

The first has an ambiguous collage piece in the lower right corner, a small white square of burlap canvas. The dark values in that painting are mostly patches of burnt sienna. Fine lines of graphite meander over the surface. “#5” has a stronger structural matrix than most of the works in the series. About 20 irregular circles of various sizes fill the picture plane; they are either white or brown, and sev eral are in connected pairs.

SET IN STONE Marble has been quarried in West Rutland for about 200 years, and "West Rutland White" has been shipped around the world ever since. Sculpfest '03, which opened last weekend at the Carving Studio in West Rutland, allows some of the stone to stay closer to home. The site-specific "Borrowed Landscape," by Mei Ling Horn and David Me Clelland, is like a scaled-down version of the hills from whence the stone came. Scaled down to about 100 tons, that is. Other sculptures in the show, by artists from the U.S. and Europe, are a little more dimin utive. The works in Sculptfest can be seen through October 19.

M atchstick Men ★ ★ ★

S S TIC K F IG U R E Cage plays a neurotic con artist who gradually discovers w hat m akes him tic.

omething less than the sum of its parts, Matchstick Men is a decent film that should have been a considerably better one. Based on a grab-bag of a screen play by Nicholas and Ted Griffin, Ridley Scott’s latest is a caper comedy in which Nicolas Cage doesn’t so much portray the central character as accumu late random signifiers on behalf of him. In addition to being a successful spe cialist in the short con, for example, Roy is obsessive-compulsive. He has an endearingly oddball way of closing doors three times to make sure they’re shut, he prefers not to venture outside, and his minimalist home is stocked with an arsenal of cleaning supplies. He also tics wildly at times and tends to accompany his blinking and gesticulating with bizarre hums and guttural utterances. Statistically, Roy is a rare bird, suf fering from two such colorful, filmfriendly maladies, but these are just the beginning of the script’s offbeat touches. He lives alone and subsists almost exclusively on tuna, though, aside from several striking shots of cans stacked in his otherwise barren refrigerator, it’s unclear what this is supposed to contribute to the movie. Likewise, he listens to albums rather than CDs and to music from the ’50s rather than the present. Though the film takes place in the

songs by Sinatra and his contempo raries as that of Catch Me I f You Can, though, again, the significance is never made clear. Ditto when it comes to his affinity for vintage duds. Needless to say, Cage acts up a humming, blink ing, door-shutting storm. He’s a regu lar July 4th of quirks and idiosyn crasies. The problem is, the script never goes deeper, nor provides a clue as to what made Roy such a monu ment to dysfunction. Sam Rockwell plays his partner. For my money, his is the picture’s most exhilarating performance, though every one else seems to get the best lines. The two sell wildly overpriced water purifi cation systems out of a generic L.A. office building. Roy has socked away a substantial sum over the years. His part ner is relatively new to the game and chomping at the bit for a bigger score. One day Roy opens his door and finds himself face-to-face with a pig tailed 14-year-old (Alison Lohman), who announces she’s the daughter he’s never seen. They hang out, and little by little he feels himself emerging from the shell he’s been holed up in for ages. One of the first things he does to celebrate is agree to help out with a big money scam that his proteg^ has been hankering to pull. Both his determination to open him in to ’Wtfrff *

the long con with Rockwell backfire, though not in the way we initially are led to believe. That’s because the leg endary director is the newest member of — are you sitting down? — the Big Surprise Twist Club. Every Tom, Dick and Harry has been making movies with last-minute twists since The Sixth Sense. Now you can add Ridley Scott to that list. However, his surprise doesn’t stand up to repeat viewing nearly as well as most others. Anyone aware of the twist will easily spot flaws in the foundation the filmmaker lays for it upon a second viewing. As a story of emotional healing, Matchstick Men pushes all the right buttons and is periodically satisfying. There isn’t a bad performance, and some of the relationships are indeed amusing to explore. As a con-artist caper, however, the film leaves a bit to be desired. Much of the fun of films like Tin Men, The Grifiers and Mamet classics like House o f Games is derived from the insider view we’re afforded of a sophisticated scam’s intricate machin ery. In this regard, Scott’s movie deliv ers less than generously and I, for one, would’ve traded some warm-andfuzzies for a little more bait and switch. Somehow, it doesn’t seem right that the slickest trick pulled off here is the one played on the audience in the

Festival, where I’ve just spent a celluloidsmitten 10 days. Girl With a Pearl Earring, which kicks off Telluride at Dartmouth on Friday, dazzled audiences at the prestigious Canadian extravaganza. The co-production from the United Kingdom and tiny Luxembourg, directed by Peter Webber, is based on Tracy Chevalier’s 2001 best selling novel about Johannes Vermeer. Both imag ine how the volatile Dutch painter’s art and domestic life might have intersected. Almost every scene is framed like a Vermeer portrait, radiating much of the same luminous quality the mid-17th-cen tury master captured on canvas. The light ing is most effective when reflected on the lovely face of actress Scarlett Johansson. She portrays Griet, a young servant hired to clean the family’s home. Her presence throws the household into crisis, as Vermeer’s wife and children are tormented by jealousy. Girl With a Pearl Earring provides a vivid, if fictitious, exploration of an allconsuming aesthetic vision. But that pas sion parallels the erotic nature of Vermeer’s fascination with Griet, a particularly intel ligent and sensitive adolescent. He teaches her to mix pigments; she poses for a por trait. They are soul mates in an unsympa thetic society still marked by essentially medieval mores. Colin Firth smolders better than almost any actor alive today — think Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice — and he plays Vermeer with the requisite intensity. Tom Wilkinson, on the other hand, gives the lusty patron van Ruijven an almost bodiceripping villainry that threatens to turn the generally restrained story into a Harlequin Romance. As Vermeer’s calculating motherin-law, Judy Parfitt adds pragmatism to a saga of forbidden love in a richly visual context.

The second Telluride export, scheduled for Saturday at Dartmouth, is The Bar barian Invasions. Denys Arcands drama, a best-screenplay winner at Cannes this year, opened the Toronto fest. Set in Montreal, with two forays into Vermont, the film depicts family dysfunction that has become estrangement. Rimy (Remy Girard), the aging father, is a retired history professor with a terminal illness. A confirmed philanderer, he has been divorced from exwife Louise long enough for a friendship of sorts to emerge. Their son Sebastien (Stephane Rousseau) — resembling a cross between David Duchovny and Mark Wahlberg — flies home from England, where he’s earned a fortune in the financial markets. Remy twice treks south to Fletcher Allen Health Care in Bur lington for scans to determine the extent of his disease. (At a festival brunch, where" Invasions earned anoth er reward, Arcand told me U.S. immigra tion rules made actual shooting in the Green Mountain State all but impossible). In the film, it soon becomes clear that the protagonists pain could be managed better with heroin than the morphine adminis tered by the bureaucratic Quebec hospital where he’s a patient. So Sebastien persuades a junkie named Nathalie (Marie-Jos6e Croze, who won the Cannes best-actress prize for this role) to supply the drug and help his father either snort or inject it. Sebastien organizes a farewell bash by summoning all of R^mys old pals and mis tresses to his bedside. It’s the same cast, gone grayer now, reprising their roles from Arcands 1986 classic Decline of the American Empire. In this sequel, they are still a cerebral bunch, never happier than when debating the fine points of Greek civilization with the speed of TV sit-com witticisms. Many of their fast-paced chats take place at a cottage on Lake Memphremagog where R£my has chosen to draw his final breath. The resolution of the father-son rift is genuinely moving. But Arcands female characters often spout dialogue that sounds rather masculine, undercutting an other wise powerful tale. The sexual perspectives in particular are a bit too macho. Sunday through Wednesday, the remain ing Telluride at Dartmouth fare includes: Dogville, Lars von Triers offbeat film about a woman (Nicole Kidman) fleeing gangsters; I'm Not Scared, from Italy, in which a boy discovers another child in peril; Touching the Void, an adventure with two climbers facing disaster in the Peruvian Andes; and Osama, about an ado lescent girl who masquerades as a boy to get an education in Taliban-era Afghanistan.

BLUES BROTHERS If you know and love gospeldrenched soul and blues music, you probably know and love the Holmes Brothers. Originally from Virginia but based in New York City for nearly 40 years, Sherman and Wendell Holmes and Willie "Popsy" Dixon create some of the most spiritually uplift ing and downright funky music around. Sherman's bass playing and Popsy's drumming provide the per fect rhythmic foundation for Wendell's hard-driving guitar solos. Even more gripping than their instrumentals are their amazing three-part harmonies. This week they travel to Barre to perform songs from their latest release, S p e a k in g in Tongues. Ro lling Sto n e promises, "One listen and you'll adopt this family as your own."

Regulation: Today, it's how 80 percent of archaeology gets done. Proposed highways, housing projects, new strip malls — before anyone breaks new ground, federal law and Vermont's Act 250 say they must first check to see whether people have been there before and if so, what they left behind. Developers and anti-regulatory types often bemoan the time and price tag of "regulato ry archaeology," but the fact is, these efforts to preserve Vermont's cultural her itage cost less than a penny on all stateproject dollars. That's a small price to pay for the insights these efforts can provide into our past. The proposed Circumferential Highway alone has yielded 79 archeological finds, including one unearthed recently in Colchester that is unequivocally the first Late Paleo-Indian site in Vermont, roughly 9000 to 10,000 years old. The director of the UVM Consulting Archaeology Program is the aptly named John Crock — that's "crock" as in earthen ware vessel. "As archaeologists, we're always dealing with other people's trash," Crock told a roomful of professors, prehistory buffs and students, many of whom undoubtedly helped in the tedious and backbreaking work of excavating the prehistoric detritus. Crock's presentation was all about getting the point — or points — of the site. Analysis of the Mazza site, as it's now known, suggests it was a hunting camp where native peoples removed and replaced stone spear points broken during their hunts. Other tools found suggest they butchered animals and prepared their hides there. As point after point flashed on the screen of Crock's PowerPoint presentation, a student in a Burning Spear T-shirt quietly slipped out of the room. Apparently, he was n't quite digging the scene.

Weed heads say there are now two Meccas of herbalism in the United States: California and Vermont. Zack Woods Herb Farm owner Melanie Slick-Carpenter warmly welcomes internation ally known experts at her fourth annual herb festival. Plant people can watch an herb-themed performance piece, learn how to treat cancer and migraines with echinacea and goldenseal, and practice identifying, cooking^and making tinctures with medicinal mushrooms. Those who just want to relax can enjoy lavender spa treatments and rosehip cosmetic clinics or simply sip a calming cup of chamomile tea. Proceeds from the aromatic afternoon go to United Plant Savers — one of the nation's only organizations working to conserve and preserve at-risk medicinal varieties.

GET BROWN In Greg Brown's family, music and words were a way of life. His mother played the electric guitar, his grandfather picked the banjo, his grandmother wrote poetry and his father, a preacher, filled the home with gospel hymns. It's no surprise, then, that by age 13 Brown had already written his first song — about a red-haired girl who broke his heart. After years of giggin g in New York City, the West Coast and the Midwest, the sentimental stories of his youth continue to inspire his work. His heartfelt songs have even earned him two Grammy nominations and covers by Santana, Willie Nelson, Shawn Colvin and Mary Chapin Carpenter. This week Brown returns to a familiar childhood venue — a church — to perform original tunes that hit home.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT You are what you eat. Now that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have identified obesity as the nation's top health concern, the adage has never rung truer. To help fight the fat, University of Vermont's agriculture and life science department has organized a day dedi cated to food issues. Rather than focusing simply on nutrition, 12 of America's leading experts look at the links in America's food system: production, transformation, marketing and con sumption. Highlights include lectures dn-the politics of obesity and potato possibilities "beyond the French fry." Food tasting, healthy cooking demos and a clinic on how to measure a serving size keep things, er, light. Bag the super-sized value meal and over-ride marketing mantras to really "Have it your way."

FEAST OF OUR FARMS: Live music and a harvest din

With all the war and conflict in the world today, it's never felt more vital to just give peace a chance. Two peace-promoting programs help Vermonters join the movement. A "women, war and peace" conference offers lessons about rebuilding lives in war-torn countries, student activism, civil liberties and the effects of Bush's domestic agenda on women. Dessima Williams, a Brandeis University professor and former leader of Grenada's New Jewel Movement, offers insights as an activist, feminist and intellectual organizer for world justice. That same day, Israeli and Palestinian students from universities throughout New England convene to recount their experiences in Seeds of Peace, a nonprofit organization that promotes coexistence and understanding among youth from countries in conflict. Their stories of suffering and hatred turned into respect and friendship should inspire others to, as local "seed" Raphael Mermey puts it, "better appreciate the gift of life in all people."

SEPTEMBER 18-23

1-900 -9 5 0 -7 7 0 0 . $1.99 per m inute. 18 and over. Touchtone phone.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): My acquaintance Delilah is a left-wing pagan hippie who makes big bucks working as an X-ray technician in a large hospital. She’s a pacifist, but serves as president o f the local chapter o f the American Legion, an organiza- ' tion for military veterans. She has been engaged forever to a dreadlocked man 25 years her senior, though he looks her age because he has practiced sex magic and eaten nothing but wheat grass and lived outside for decades. On the other hand, she loves to flirt with young businessmen with buzz cuts. Delilah is your role model and patron saint for the coming week, Aries. Like her, you can and should be a cheerful master o f contradictions.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-M ay 20): O f the many brave adventurers I met during my recent visit to the Burning Man festival, Tauruses comprised a large proportion. O ne example was Melissa Whitman, who leaves soon for a yearlong stay in Madagascar, where she’ll be the only female and English speaker among a team working to save the scops owl from extinction. Though she’s afraid o f heights, she’ll have to climb tall trees at night to study the birds in their natural habitat. Another courageous Taurus was Jennifer from Napa, California, an art therapist for the criminally insane. She risks her life daily. W hy did I encounter so many daring Bulls? Is it because the expan sive planet Jupiter is cruising through your astrological House o f Extravagant Self-Expression? Whatever the cause, I urge you,to sync up with the audacious vibes now available ’to your tribe.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): In her book, Sim ply Sophisticated: W hat Every Worldly Person Needs to

Know, Suzanne Munshower lists the requirements for an elegant home. You should have at least one needlepoint pillow, she says. The thread count o f your sheets should be 200 per inch or more. Your bookcases, if visible to guests, must have no paperbacks, and your bathroom accessories should be ceramic. N ow that you’ve heard Munshower’s ideas, Gemini, please rebel against them. According to my analysis o f the astrological omens, you’ll put yourself in alignment with current cosmic rhythms if you add ele ments to your home to make it more playful and less formal, more in tune with what delights you and less con cerned with what others think.

natural curiosity? In the coming week, Leo, you must avoid behavior like that. Awaken your innocent longing to know everything you can about the unexpected marvels that life brings.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): In its original use, the phrase “priming the pump” referred to the fact that a hand-operated water pump didn’t pro vide a steady, abundant flow o f water until you first lubricated it with a little water. In modern parlance, it’s often a way o f saying' that to make money you have to invest some, or that in order to get lots o f goodies you have to give some. To take maximum advantage o f the current astrological potentials, Cancerian, regard “priming the pump” as your metaphor o f power.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): W hen I’m not writing this horoscope column, I pursue a career as a performance artist. For a recent show, I bought eight jars o f pigs’ feet at the grocery store, 200 pairs o f white underpants at Costco and 20 alarm clocks at the drugstore. Nope-co f the clerks who took my moisey expressed the slightest interest in the reasons for my peculiar and prodigious orders. Their numbness was deeply disturbing to me. How could they have so thoroughly repressed their

During my recent visit to the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert, I drank in an abundant array o f con founding sights and enriching adven tures that I’ll remember forever. The last surprise I saw before heading home was among the most modest, but it’s a perfect choice to serve as your ruling symbol for the coming week: a sign that read “The Very Tidy Pirates” above an image o f a bad-ass dude wearing an eye patch and apron and wielding a vacuum cleaner and feather duster. I hope this vignette inspires you to be wildly disciplined, neatly rowdy and boisterously organized.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-O ct. 22): When you have achieved great victories in the past, Libra, they have often hap pened because o f your graceful willpow er or fine intelligence. At other times they have been the result o f your unflag ging commitment to creating harmony. But none o f those skills will be your main source o f power during the turn ing point just ahead. As you pull off this next big triumph, your secret weapon will be your flourishing imagination.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Beginnings and endings will be over lapping in the near future, Scorpio. They will demand that you grow rapidly. It won’t always be easy to tell them apart, either; you’ll have to become wiser faster in order to under stand the clues. Here are two medita tions to guide you: 1. W hich o f the long-running dramas o f your life have

SAGITTARIUS <n0v. 22-D ec. 21): “Dear Dr. Brezsny: With the help o f a flood o f pithy coinci dences, I’ve become aware that the Universal M ind recently lost Her train o f thought. I believe we are now under the care o f a substitute ‘Universal M ind,’ and that therefore the laws o f karma are not being enforced as strictly as usual. Cosmic SLACK is available in extravagant amounts. Tell your readers so they may take advantage o f it by aggressively reconfiguring their little slice o f reality to reflect their deepest needs. — Opportunistic Sagittarius” Dear Opportunistic: Good catch. I totally agree with your assessment, especially as it applies to you Sagittarians. As you suggest, karma now has a reduced power to whip your fate this way and that; your will power has more room than usual in which to maneuver. I call this phase “Freedom from Cosmic Compulsion.”

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): To borrow a phrase from the old astrology columnist Stella Spambottom, this is a week you make the boogieman cry. That’s because your anger is smarter and your fears are weaker than they’ve been in many moons. You also have access to a high level o f courage, which is made even more potent by the fact that it’s rooted in quiet confidence, not blustering egotism. As you fight evil in the com ing days, your forceful actions will no doubt be fair and enlightened. On

run their course? 2. What struggling dreams are aching to resurrect them selves and bloom again as if for the first time? Once you figure out the answers to those questions, act dynamically to nurture what’s being born and expedite the dissolution o f what’s dying.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Every August, the temporary city o f Burning Man sprouts up in the Nevada desert. Upwards o f 30,000 freaks and mutants drop their inhibi tions for a week as they interact with entertaining rituals that transpire in hundreds o f “theme camps.” If you ever go, you’ll be able to eat fresh sushi off the naked bellies o f clowns posing as supermodels, play a giant game o f billiards using bowling balls and take a joyride on a wheeled version o f Captain Hook’s schooner as it sways with scores o f sweaty dancers dressed like characters from your dreams. Unfortunately, Burning Man won’t come around again until August 23, 2004, but you need to have your mind blown and blown and blown now. Find a worthy substitute.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Every act o f genius, said psychologist Carl Jung, is an act contra naturam : “against nature.” Indeed, every effort to achieve psychological integration requires a knack for breaking out o f the trance o f normal daily life. Eighteenth-century mystic Jacob Boehme agreed. The great secret of divine magic, he asserted, is “to walk in all things contrary to the world.” My teacher, Paul Foster Case, believed that living an ethical and enlightened life required one to reverse the usual ways o f thinking, speaking and doing. W hat’s your position on this approach, Pisces? It’s prime time for you to rede fine your relationship with what I call sacred rebellion. ®

GETTING BEHIND THE W HEEL WORLD

T h e B oys of H U M M E R

hat a disaster. Apparendy it wasn’t enough that Jerry spent a precarious lunch hour groping underneath a three-and-a-half-ton Hummer H 1 to repair a bro ken rear half-shaft that was splintered by an aggres sive boulder. Then this guy Ron goes and pretzelbends two tie rods on his unwisely modified Hummer H2, stranding 16 or so trail junkies until you-know-who — that’s right, Jerry again — can make the necessary field repairs. All in all, a fantastic day of max-adrenaline offroading according to the general consensus. For members of The Hum m er Club, who gath ered in the East Tennessee mountains overlooking Oak Ridge for their recent Windrock Trails 2003 event, “hitting the trail” is a commandment they take literally. Off-roading Hummer-style — in what are arguably two o f the most unstoppable, indefatigable four-wheeled vehicles ever made — is all about getting stuck and unstuck, broken and repaired, “skeered” and exhilarated. In a day-today world crawling with underutilized, over domesticated SUVs, there is something positively redeeming about five or six dozen Hummers mak ing a simultaneous attack upon the flanks o f the Appalachians with no other goal than to reach unreachable places bearing nicknames like the Rock Garden or Waffle House. It’s also a very sobering experience, especially for non-initiates nourished solely upon a media diet of hard-charging, hulky trucks kicking sand in the faces of unsuspecting suburbanites. Movies, TV shows and even car- maker commercials themselves like to portray off-roading as a fast-paced contact sport with lots o f dust and splashing. But on a 65-degree grade, streaming with storm water and strewn with razor-edged boulders over 20 inches tall, two miles an hour will get you a speed ing ticket. That and a visit from guys like Jerry, who’ll put an arm around your shoulder and con fide to you, “I’m fixin’ just one half-shaft for you today, okay? Bust another, and we’re leavin’ you for buzzard bait.” The Hummer Club, although welcomed and supported by the two different Hummer manufac turers, AM General (maker of the H I) and General Motors (the H 2), is an entirely independent organi zation devoted exclusively to owners. “These guys,”

THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD. GM's H2 can tackle almost any challenge that its big brother, the AM General HI can. At this high-jump, however, both required an assist (See www.thehummerclubinc.com,www.windrockatv.com and www.hummer.com/hummerjsp/world/academy/index.jsp for more information.)

says Ron Bomhoff, vice president of the club, “are fiercely loyal to their vehicles and to their sport of offroading. The club is a way for us to come together at events around the country, socialize, explore unlikely places and improve our off-road techniques.” Predictably, owners o f the H I — which is derived from the military’s High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, or Humvee — are accorded an informal pride o f place at Hummer Club events. Never mind the fact that a new H I costs something along the lines of $110,000. With its 6. 5-liter, 450-ft.-lb. turbo-diesel, individually

geared hubs, Eaton “locker” differential and 16 in. of ground clearance, nothing short of a vertical cliff face can deter an H I driver anxious to get somewhere. By comparison, the newly minted H 2 costs mid$50,000, boasts 360 ft.-lbs. from a 6.0-liter gas V 8 and rides 10.5 in. off the ground. Far from being arch-rivals, the H I and H2 dispose themselves nat urally into the roles o f big and little brothers, respectively. O ut on notorious Trail 7 in the Coal Creek Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) area in Oliver Springs, Tenn., both Hummer models scampered about like big-shortie and short-biggie. O n the rare occasion when an H 2 ’s clearance just couldn’t make the hurdle, out came the tow strap and a gende tug from an H I up ahead until Little Bro found his footing again. Like whitewater rafting, negotiating a Hummer off-road is all about adjusting your itinerary to two types o f rocks: those you can glide over and those you had better miss. Then, at the end of the trail, no matter how many times you’ve been towstrapped, winched, broken or bashed, you can pause for a moment’s exultation — before chipping away at a next stretch of the rocky road to Heaven. ®

LO LA

the love counselor Dear Lola, Ever since I was a very young child I have felt a powerful attraction to balloons. At a birthday party, another boy and I stuffed balloons inside our shirts, then rolled on the ground until they all popped. The rub of the rubber against my bare skin, the orbs' hot, shifting pressure under my body, the tantalizing suspense of wondering how long they would last and the noisy climax when one by one they finally succumbed was like nothing I'd ever experi enced. That W eis almost 40 years ago. I am now a gainfully employed, married man with four children. Although my sex life is perfectly satisfying and I haven't touched a balloon "in that way" since I was 5 , 1 fantasize about those rubber spheres. I'm longing to repeat that once-in-a-lifetime experience. But what if I got caught? How sick is that? Aroused in Alburg Dear Aroused, As the plentiful "looner" Web sites suggest, you're hardly alone in your interest. If this turn-on distresses you, a competent counselor can help you accept it. As long as you're not hurting anyone, there's no reason why you shouldn't go ahead and indulge your desire.
