They represent something real while defying the norms, and they are in tune with their bodies with different degrees of self-realization. — Joseph Beaulieu Cashier, Daily Bread Richmond

WAY OFF TRACK? After reading Peter Freyne's column ["Inside Track," October 31] I think it would be more appropriate for the column to be called Way Off Track, as compared to Inside Track. In it, Mr. Freyne compares the Afghan Taliban to the "Christian religious fundamentalists" and how "it's very hard to tell the two apart." He then labels these Christians as our "Homeland Taliban." Peter, a little advice: There's a big difference between the two. These "Christians" are not harboring terrorists! I, in fact, do not believe a lot of what they say, but your comparison was way off base. — Tayt R. Brooks St. Albans Town HIDDEN ROLE OF UNDERGROUND MUSIC This letter is in regard to the review of the 242 Main benefit C D by Kirt Zimmer [242.01, The Bands of242 Main, Burlington, VT, October 31]. It was obvious to me that he has no knowledge of most of the styles of music that are currently being or previously been hosted by 242 Main, or he has long since lost the connection with underground music and the local scene.

And how is someone who is into the genres of music on the 242 disc supposed to get anything out of that review? It said nothing to me (someone who has been deeply rooted in the underground scene for 15 years) except "this dude doesn't have a clue where this C D and the music on it is coming from." I am not singling out Kirt Zimmer as doing a bad job or angry for a somewhat bad/mocking review in which my band is included. I am sure that he does a good job within his preferred styles of music. But I do feel, like many others in the local music scene and some of the kids in the bands that

offered up a song for the benefit disc, a sense of frustration that Seven Days does a good job of snubbing its nose at the roots of the Burlington music scene by getting people to report on artistic areas of interest that they do not fully understand, so your writers shit on it by mocking it. — Javin Leonard Burlington Leonard is a guitarist for Drowningman. COVER TRIVIALIZES 9/11 HORRORS I was appalled by the cover of the October 24 issue. The portrayal of the Twin Towers attack within the context of a glib and cutesy cartoon was in incredibly poor taste. This inappropriate stylistic approach strikes me as too smallminded to address the sober complexity of that moment and the aftermath with which we now find ourselves grappling with. You've trivialized an event which is still so raw and recent and real. What on earth could you have been thinking? — Lynn Imperatore Burlington

What is important is that a teen center like 242 is a starting point for the future, giving todays ugly ducklings of music a place to blossom into the swans of popular culture. And with this, they will bring what they have learned in the underground scene to reshape and renew popular culture. The disc is meant as a fundraiser for the venue and to give the bands that play or have played at 242 a sense of accomplishment, documentation, of lending a helpful

hand to a nonprofit, community and fun. The average age of people buying this is going to probably be between the ages of 12 to 18, an age where one tends to keep an ear to the ground for the "new" and different. The music present is not going to be or expected to be liked by most popular culture followers. So it wasn't surprising to see Kirt's whimsical attempt at reviewing it. At the very least, someone should have reviewed the C D who understands the underground scene realizes that most of the bands on the disc are young and trying hard, and that it is a fundraiser.

someone that mocks what he does not know and then portrays a false image of what he has heard to the rest of the world, when in truth, he doesn't fully understand the subject matter at hand (which is a big flaw with society in general). The most recent influx of bands on the more popular stages (Higher Ground, Metronome, etc.) which include Carrigan, The Cancer Conspiracy, The Dakota, etc., and many of the longer-lasting local bands like Chin Ho!, DysFunkShun, The Magic Is Gone, and many others, got their start at 242 Main, whether it was with their current or past band(s). It is one of the only starting places for emerging artists in this area and should be encouraged, not made fun of because one doesn't understand the subject matter.

V-'S-

The jig is finally up! Its official now, thanks to reporter Christopher Graff and the Associated Press. Nice work! The discovery of paperwork filed with the Federal Election Commission in Washington, D.C., on November 5 is the long-awaited smoking gun that's blown the cover ofF the stealth Howard Dean for President campaign. Make no mistake, our favorite presidential hopeful did not want this story to get out. Gov. Dean wants to maintain the charade that he's working full-time for Vermont taxpayers. He doesn't want folks to know that Vermont's lame-duck governor is actually focusing most of his attention outside of Vermont. Vermonters owe sincere thanks to the member of the Washington bureau of the Associated Press who discovered the tip of the Dean for President iceberg recently, while checking public records at the FEC. Sometimes we forget that the press is, first and foremost, supposed to function as a government watchdog. Supposed to be nosy. Supposed to find the real news behind the spoon-fed press releases spit out by elected officials and their well-paid fiaks. This week, a big batch of Vermont dog biscuits goes out to the AP journalist in Foggy Bottom whose curiosity was raised by documents announcing the formation a new political action committee (PAC) called the "Fund for a Healthy America." What was suspicious was the fact that the five pages contained so little information. The only human named was the PAC s treasurer, someone named "Kate O'Connor." The Fund for a Healthy America listed a post office box address in Montpeculiar, Vermont, and O'Connor's home telephone number. Nowhere on the five-page document does the name of Howard Dean appear. Nowhere. The Washington AP bureau brought the matter to the attention of Mr. Graff, the wire service's top dog in Vermont. In fact, Chris' office above the Thrush Tavern is just across the street from Kate's office on the Fifth Floor of the Pavilion Building. Ms. O'Connor, daughter of former Democrat House Speaker Tim O'Connor of Brattleboro, is Howard Dean's closest and most powerful political aide. She picks up her state paycheck as "secretary of civil and military affairs." Confronted by Mr. Graff with the evidence Monday, Kate's boss confessed. The story ran across Vermont front pages Tuesday: "Dean forms basis for presidential run," screamed The Burlington Free Press. "Dean tests waters for White House run" shouted the Rutland Herald. Finally! According to O'Connor's filing — available for online viewing at www.fec.gov (don't search for "Dean," search for "Fund for a Healthy America") — Sneaky Dean's PAC has opened a bank account at the Howard Bank in Burlington. Looks like HoHo is finally realizing it's high time someone other than Vermont taxpayers started shelling out for his frequent out-of-state trips. The PAC documents also reveal that Dean the Sneak has a professional relationship with the powerful, well-connected Washington, D.C., law firm Ryan, Phillips, Utrecht & MacKinnon. The firm's fax ID appears at the top of pages on the Dean PAC's FEC documents. According to the law firm's Web site, Lyn Utrecht served as legal counsel to Gore 2000, and Clinton/Gore '92 and '96. She's also represented Hillary Clinton for Senate and the Democratic Governors Association, HowardJDeans home away from home. Ms. Utrecht did not respond to our phone message. As faithful readers know, this column has been tracking Dr. Deans presidential quest for several years, despite the protective barrier put up by his

occasionally rude staff. Fact is, Ho-Ho's been sneaking around the country for years building the ranks of Democrat governors as well as the ranks of a Dean for President campaign. Unfortunately, Sneaky Dean's political speeches from Florida to Texas to California never make his official "Weekly Public Appearance Schedule" that's released to the press each Friday afternoon, and his staff tries its best to keep the boss' travel plans secret. Asking Ho-Ho's press secretary, Susan W. Allen, the simple question, "Where is the governor?" is likely to bring a nasty tongue-lashing. And this week, Seven Days learned of yet another secret trip to California by Vermont's governor just last weekend. Sweet Sue did not return our phone call Monday morning, so we called Kate O'Connor to inquire about the governor's latest jaunt. Ms. O'Connor told Seven Days Gov. Dean had addressed a Victory Fund event in San Diego. The Victory Fund is a national organization that promotes gays and lesbians in politics. It's an audience that thinks Vermont's governor walks on water since he signed the civil-unions law. When we asked Ms. O'Connor if she had made the trip to San Diego, too, we were reminded that the Twilight Zone is never far away. "Is that relevant?" snapped O'Connor. To us it seemed like a simple "yes" or "no" question. No big »»*. deal. To O'Connor, however, it K i l T I N I w a s taken as an attempt to invade her privacy. "I'm trying to figure out," she told us as she thought out loud, "if what I do on weekends is relevant." We suggested we have absolutely no interest in her weekends or her private life and were only asking if the governor's top political aide accompanied the governor on the California political trip. "No state money was spent on me," she replied defensively. "Nothing I did impacted the state of Vermont." Hey, relax, we said. Just looking for some details and color on Ho-Ho's big speech to the Victory Fund. "You're going to blow this out of proportion," charged Kate. "I know what you're doing. Your motivation is to get me and the other people in this office!" We politely suggested Ms. O'Connor sounded "a little paranoid." She quickly confirmed our diagnosis. "I think you're the paranoid one," charged O'Connor. "Paranoid about what?" we asked. "You constantly accuse us of doing things," she answered. "I don't even understand what you're accusing us of doing." "Such as?" we replied. O'Connor went silent. She declined to identify one accusation we've allegedly made against her. "I have nothing to hide," she said after a bizarre 20-second pause. The interview ended rather awkwardly. Regardless of whether O'Connor accompanied her boss to San Diego or not, word is, Dean delivered a whale of a speech. According to Bill Beck, a member of the Victory Fund board, Vermont's governor "spoke from his heart" to the gay and lesbian audience of 400 at the Hilton San Diego Resort Hotel. "He's quite a dynamic speaker," Mr. Beck told Seven Days. There were "several standing ovations," he said. Dean is highly regarded by the Victory Fund and other gay-rights groups because he is the only governor in history to sign into law a bill that extends marriage rights and benefits to same-sex couples. In California, they're not aware Ho-Ho signed the historic civil-unions law behind closed doors to prevent any photos being snapped. At the time, Dr. Dean had no idea there might be a political upside to legalizing Homosexual "marriage." Vermont's governdr, said Mr. Beck, reminds him "of a chapter in Profiles in Courage."

ocean liner Queen Elizabeth 2. W h e n the year ended, the 82year-old British subject decided to stay at sea. She sold two of her three homes and most of her possessions to pay for h e t shipboard life, which she said costs no more than living in a retirement home. She travels the world playing bridge, dancing with handsome stewards and stopping at sunny destinations. She enjoys films from the ship's theater and communicates with her family by e-mail from the computer room. "This is where I live, and I love it," she told the Sunday Express newspaper. "I don't need to do any shopping. I don't need a car, and there aren't any gas or phone bills."

Police in Ogden, Utah, arrived at the scepe of a robbery in progress to find the suspect, a man in his early forties, aiming a handgun at himself and threatening to shoot himself unless residents turned their vehicles over to him. Police Lt. Marcy Korgenski said that when police tried to talk the man into surrendering the weapon, the situation escalated, and officers had to shoot the suspect with a non-lethal weapon. • Paul Morgan, 33, who was paralyzed below the knees after falling out of a truck, announced he would amputate his feet with a homemade guillotine and broadcast the procedure live on the Internet (www.cutoffmyfeet.com) to raise money for new prosthetic legs. Morgan, a resident of Lumberton, Mississippi, said he needed about $150,000 to cover the cost of the prosthetics, follow-up surgery and rehabilitation. T h e broadcast, originally scheduled for Oct. 31, now is slated for Nov. 30.

H e went to the rear of the auditorium and engaged in what the Daily News Tribune described as "an animated discussion" with Kelly, then returned and requested that the meeting be adjourned until he could get a ruling from city's law department. "At the next meeting," Kelly threatened, "there will be two cameras."

potential rapists. Markov told the newspaper Jutarnji List that instead of a top button, the jeans have a coded steel buckle whose number is known only to the wearer. To thwart a persistent attacker who tries to tear open the jeans, the belt contains a thin steel wire. Markov calls his invention "the Grizzly."

VALENTINE'S DAY

Ci v i r " I ¥ I Iff

think most of us have owned a beat-up car we

have been reluctant to part with. Not because it was a particularly reliable or attractive car. No, we grew attached because of its "character" — also known as "rust," developed from Vermont's salt-strewn roads and subarctic winters. We also loved these old beaters because of the memories stirred whenever we got behind the well-worn wheel: spending New Year's trying to hit a homer with our first sweetie on a dark, deserted country road; growing increasingly frustrated with said sweetie's refusal to cooperate; the terror of realization that the headlights in our rearview mirror belonged to our sweetie's dad's Jeep. I know, I know. It's tough to hold back the tears just thinking about it. But even the most rewarding vehicular relationships must come to an end — especially if you don't live in one of those rural, less policed corners of Vermont, where you are expected to make a porch sofa from the rear seats and park the disintegrating auto body on your front lawn, right next to the plastic deer and whirligigs. My own relationship with a beloved Honda is coming to a close. Since my landlord probably wouldn't appreciate having a stripped car sinking lower and lower into her gravel parking lot, I've decided to turn this week's column into a sales pitch in order to unload my cherished memory machine. What I am reluctantly placing on the auction block is a 1987 Honda Civic four-door sedan, once W | maroon and now * gray, with matching plush interior, fully 1 Scotchguarded. First, though, I have to challenge the scum who stole the yellow smiley-face antenna ball off my car the other day while I was doubleparked at Brooks Pharmacy: If Mr. Smiley Face Acid Head is returned unharmed, I will not pursue criminal charges. But if I find out you have so much as scratched his innocent yellow body, I will hunt you down like the dog you are. Now, back to the car. I am going to be as honest about the Honda's shortcomings as I am about its strengths — perhaps a first in automotive salesmanship — and give prospective new owners a few tips on how to extract the best possible performance out of her. To sweeten the deal, I'm going to include a few extras. • The transmission is a five-speed manual. Do not attempt to start up on hills steeper than 3 percent. If you do have to, back the car into traffic until you are perpendicular to the grade, then turn the wheel violently uphill if and when the clutch engages. • Reverse works great if you just need to run to and from the corner store. • The powerplant is Honda's snarling, high-output

1.5 Liter Four. I have been assured by my 5-yearold niece that it will run "forever and ever, infinity times a gazillion," so mileage really isn't relevant. • The stereo cassette deck is coffee-resistant to 16 oz. Under no circumstances should you insert a cassette into the cassette deck, however. Cigarette ashes are fine. • AM reception is exceptional at higher elevations, although not nearly as good as when Mr. Smiley Face was perched happily on top of the antenna. • The front and rear bumpers, fastened with chicken wire and two clothes hangers, have been modified to detach upon impact, gecko-style, so you can escape without exchanging insurance information. • This Honda runs roughly in cold weather and in rain, but it's a great summer car. However, I would not recommend driving in temperatures above 80 degrees. • The heater is superb if you can get the engine to turn over in winter. • The trunk release is inoperable. So is the air conditioning. • Windows are traditional-style, rolled up and down with elbow grease. Now, on to the extras: • Four tires are included; only two have slow leaks. • One full Fix-a-Flat and several empties are included in the emergency road kit in the trunk. • Most of a fifth of i Evan Williams sour * mash bourbon and J half a bag of frozen Chex Mix are also in the emergency road kit, for those snowy January nights when AAA has a hard time finding a tow-truck driver who isn't also drunk. • The spiders that nest in spring in the passenger-side air vent are non-venomous, rarely attack unprovoked, and do an excellent job of controlling the yellowjackets that hatch there in summer, which will attack unprovoked. • The mushrooms growing out of the rear floorboard are only mildly poisonous and, taken in small amounts, will produce rather pleasant hallucinations" and uncontrollable giggling for three to six hours.

What I am reluctant!' lacing on the auction block is a 1987 Honda Civic four-door sedan, once maroon and now T rav, with matchin l i lush interior, full Scotchsuarded.

One final thought: Just because hundreds of thousands of these Hondas were manufactured doesn't mean they won't become collectors' items someday. It's going to be tough, watching someone who can't stop giggling drive her away in reverse. But I'll manage, I guess. Especially if Mr. Smiley Face is recovered. Then he and I will always be together, thankful for the memories. Meanwhile, I'm in the market for a new car myself, and I would be happy to trade. Say, for a late-model BMW? ®

ft Waitsfield psychologist helps New York survivors "process"

Counsel BY SUSAN GREEN

ust days after four hijacked planes killed thousands of people on September 11, Joanne Packer got a call from a national network for mentalhealth professionals experienced in crisis situations: Would she be willing to go to Manhattan? The Waitsfield psychologist, a member of the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress, didn't hesitate to volunteer. Packer, 49, immediately made plans for a weeklong stay with an anesthesiologist friend on the Upper West Side who had been

to Ground Zero. "He told me, 'Bring boots. I'll give you a mask,'" she recalls. As it turned out, when Packer arrived in New York on September 16, protective gear was less important than composure in the face of so much suffering. One of her patients was a female company manager who had lived through the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Eight years later, the scale of devastation was beyond belief. The woman cursed and screamed, but managed to get all her employees out before the sec-

ond tower collapsed. "She ran and walked for hours, with glass in her hair and dust in her eyes," Packer recounts. "She was still coughing when I saw her." In a city still reeling after the terrorist attack, Packer's unexpected mission was to conduct counseling sessions with displaced blue- and white-collar workers from businesses previously located at the trade center complex. "I was in temporary midtown quarters that had been set up," she says. "These were not long-term clients, but they

needed a way to understand what they were going through — the emotional, physiological and even spiritual dimensions." Her goal was to create a context for understanding "why this is different than just a bad thing that happens. W h y its normal you feel this way. W h a t to expect in the next few weeks. W h e n you're shocked a n d n u m b , you can't think straight. You might be afraid you're going crazy." T h e clients Packer saw, mostly in groups, had good reason to wonder about their sanity. "Often in life, one terrible thing takes place and then it's over. For these witnesses, it was the first plane hitting, then the other, both towers coming down,

Packer acknowledges that the scale of this American trauma is unparalleled in recent history. "We're not used to talking about recovery when you have one blow after another. W i t h o u t all the other stuff — like the anthrax scare — you would expect a significant a m o u n t of recovery eight weeks later," she explains. "Normally, about 25 percent of people in a crisis will go on to have deeper problems, but that number could be greater because of the ongoing nature of the threats." Healing in such a dark time happens against all odds. "In a sense, it's your own death," she suggests. "People have to rise from the ashes and forge a new sense of themselves, even though they're haunted by images of firefighters rushing up the towers as they were rushing down." Even war and retribution may not be enough to alleviate the pain. "Some might feel that, if we just kill bin Laden, we will go back to being normal," Packer theorizes. "That's overly simplistic. People are struggling to come through this whole and create meaning for themselves. It shines a light on what we all ^ took for granted before. ^ There are no J longer any

M a n y of the stories she heard were chilling: Someone with concentration problems could not stop thinking about the body parts he'd seen a few days earlier. A 21-year-old, smoking a cigarette outside the trade center when he saw a body fall from one of the towers, ran up 38 flights to bring his coworkers out. A man who was now afraid to drive through the Lincoln Tunnel talked of wanting to stockpile weapons. A Hispanic man who escaped from one of the towers was in tears because strangers had later accosted his teen-aged son on the street in the mistaken belief he was a Muslim. Another veteran of the 1993 bombing "couldn't fathom why this time so many young people died and she survived," Packer says. M a n y of her clients were furious to learn that no more victims could be rescued from the rubble. "They also hated being told, 'You're lucky to be alive.' Those kind of platitudes are not helpful," she adds.

guarantees. The terrorists also killed people's dreams and their sense of safety."

ackers expertise in this field was honed during 15 years of private practice near Princeton, New Jersey. "I became interested in how people get through huge transitions," she says. "I worked with police and firefighters, abused women and children." In late September 2000, Packer and her husband, developmental psychologist Michael Checkoff, relocated to Waitsfield with their son Benjamin, now 10. It was a move that made sense. While she was a biological sciences major at the University of Vermont in the mid-1970s, Packer's parents bought a condo in the M a d River Valley. Her sister, Patricia, is married to a dentist in the area. W h e n Packer was visiting her family on Memorial Day last year, she discovered that T h e Village House — a Waitsfield h o m e furnishings store — was for sale. "It had a big apartment upstairs where we could live, and a little outbuilding where we could have our offices," she

recalls. "We thought, 'Wow, a great place to live and practice in a town we love, what's wrong with this?' We wanted to be in a place where we could ski in the morning and see clients in the afternoon." Her husband quickly sought and received his Vermont license to practice. Packer decided to take a year off from psychology, learn the home furnishings trade and write a book, Reclaiming Your Life. The year was not quite up when she got that call to come to New York. Caring for the walking wounded took its toil. "There was one moment," Packer says, 1 had left work and, on the way back to the place where 1 was staying, stopped to pick up a gift for my son. Suddenly, I felt as if I was going to lose it. I saw a church and ran in to have a good cry. Another brush with tears came while in a group session. "I'm OK on the job. It's what I'm trained to do," Packer says. "But someone said to me, 'You've been so helpful, but how are you feeling?' I was fine till he asked." The line between patient and practitioner is not a rigid one in Packer's mind. "I don't see a big difference between myself and those I treat, other than that I have the degrees," she suggests. "None of us has the key to a magically perfect existence." Last week's plane crash in Queens stunned her, even though the tragedy was apparently due to equipment failure and not another fundamentalist jihad. "What crushes me is this: Some of the people I talked with in September live in that neighborhood," she laments. Packer has also learned about the losses in the Garden State. "I've talked to New Jersey colleagues in bedroom communities near New York where kids have no more mother or father," she says. "A friend of mine teaches in a town two hours from the city, but she has three students in her class whose lives have been shattered. An estimated total of 10,000 children lost one or more parents in this tragedy." Such despair inspires a "visceral need to do something," Packer says. "People have told me they wish they could dig through the rubble with their bare hands. You want to do even the most elemental thing. For me, it was a privilege to make some kind of contribution." Packer was not paid for her Big Apple effort. "There were supposed to be some travel expenses, but I haven't seen any," she notes. "And I don't really

B Y DONALD MAURICE KREIS

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Phyllis Lambert with the model for the Seagram Building, New York

ruce Coldham is an architect from Amherst, Massachusetts, who designs energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable buildings. He recently came to Vermont to speak to the state chapter of the American Institute of Architects about "green" design. During the talk, Coldham showed slides of a grand tour he recently made of beautiful, sustainable buildings in Europe, and then summarized why there are so few such projects here: "Folks in the U.S. will just put up with lousy space more than an equivalent group of tenants or users in Europe." When pressed, Coldham couldn't explain why this is so. But an answer — or at least a partial answer — is now on display in Montreal. The venue, the Canadian Centre for Architecture, is North Americas premier museum and library dedicated to the built environment, and the exhibit is titled "Mies in America." It's a

painstaking and enthusiastic exploration of the second and final phase of the career of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969), whose significance in 20th-century American architecture is rivaled only by that of Frank Lloyd Wright. Mies — as he is always known — never built in New England, and yet we live in his shadow. Just as every schlocky ranch house in America can trace its roots to Wright's "Prairie Style" homes, every banal box of glass and steel from Burlington to Bellingham grows out of the awesomely simple and sparse architecture of the German emigre. He's the guy who invented what you think of when you hear the phrase "modern architecture/' The CCA exhibit suggests what he thought he was doing. This is more than just a routine show for the Montreal museum, whose chair and founding director is architect-writer Phyllis Lambert. Less than 15 years after Mies fled Nazi Germany, a youthful Lambert persuaded her father — the dis-

Accordingly, and hauntingly, the exhibition concludes with a room that uses a giant video screen to place the visitor inside the building's vast and virtually empty main hall. What you see is

The cruel destruction of the World Trade Center ha unleashed nostalgia for the unadorned rectangular .skyscraper. glass — adorning the Lake Shore Drive and Seagram buildings give them a sense of proportion in the manner of lines on graph paper. They look as if they are part of the building's skeleton. In fact, this is only artifice. Fire codes necessitated covering in concrete any I-beams that actually hold up the buildings. Among the best morsels of the CCA exhibit is an inconspicuous set of cross-sections showing how Mies separated the cur-

all there is: four columns, two inconspicuous heating and ventilation units, a dark and gridded ceiling, and 360 degrees of glass wall revealing the city that surrounds the building. You have to visit Berlin to discover that the paintings in the New National Gallery are consigned to the nearly windowless basement. The messy business of what people actually do at museums was of little interest to Mies. Indeed, there's a reason Lambert

included almost no interior views of his masterpieces in the exhibition; Mies was a failure at creating user-friendly, accommodating spaces. Elsewhere, you can find photos of the dehumanizing cubicle farms of the Seagram Building or the windowless, sterile courtrooms of his federal complex in Chicago. Still, the C C A exhibition conveys the glorious essence of what Mies was seeking to achieve with the New National Gallery: the expression of pure architectural space, the reduction of form and materials to their purest and truest selves, and the imposition of rigor, logic and beauty on a world full of turmoil, disorder and despair. Mies fled precisely such miseries when he departed Berlin in 1937, and it is deliciously ironic that he achieved his greatest victory over them in the capital of the former Third Reich. How bittersweet that he did it almost within sight of the Berlin Wall, which had its own sort of architectural attempt to impose order on apparent chaos.

Still, Mies had artistic truth on his side — his buildings really are beautiful as objects. Its for good reason his work endures while more recent post-modern frippery is allowed to crumble alongside eheapo office-park imitations of Miesian masterpieces. You might not want to live in a glass house as his one-time client Edith Farnsworth did in Piano, Illinois. There's nothing to the Farnsworth House but whitepainted steel, clear glass and the green world outside. Still, one can hope that some day an heir to the Mies tradition will persuade Americans the "difficult art of the simple" is preferable to the oppressive homes and workplaces many of us now endure. ®

"Mies in America" shares the same virtues and vices of the recently closed Frank Gehry exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. In each, there is a less-than-arm's-length relationship between the museum and the architect under examination. (Gehry designed the Guggenheim annex in Bilbao, Spain, and its controversial proposed new branch in lower Manhattan.) T h e result is adoration, not criticism. Still, Lambert has examined her hero's American period with a thoroughness that only a fan can truly mtister, presenting every- T i t thing from the painters and writers he admired to the engineering details over which he labored. As Tom Wolfe bitingly argued 20 years ago in From Bauhaus to Our House, the artistic purity of Mies van der Rohe and fellow German exiles like Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer helped make architecture irrelevant to generations of Americans. You may follow music, cinema or the visual arts, but chances are you have not h^ard of great contemporary architects like Renzo Piano, Jose Rafael Moneo, Zaha Hadid or even such important Vermont practitioners as Michael Singer or Turner Brooks. Americans suffer lousy buildings because they have forgotten that anything else is possible.

B Y C A T H Y RESMER

roviding care for an aging parent is never easy. Vermont children's book author Reeve Lindbergh shares her firsthand knowledge of the difficulties in her new non-fiction work, No More Words: A Journal of My Mother, Anne Morrow Lindbergh. T h e elder Lindbergh lived with her daughter Reeve the last year and a half of her life. "In a situation like mine,"* Lindbergh writes, "there is memory, and there is frustration, and

there is grief, and there is guilt." But, as she admits in a phone interview from her home near St. Johnsbury, "there are also times when it's a riot." She cites a passage in the book to provide an example: Lindbergh is driving her mother across New Hampshire when the latter loudly confesses, after a long silence, "I'm afraid of dying!" Lindbergh is moved by this lucid communication from her once-articulate mother who at that point rarely speaks. " O f course she was afraid of dying," Lindbergh writes. "She was frail and weak, and 90 years old." Longing to facilitate a conversation with her mother, Lindbergh asks her, "Is it the thought tf dying itself, a sense of pain and struggle, or is it leaving oldfriends, leaving the world, ~ leaving your family... " I struggled for other examples and felt myself warming up to this discussion, but

she looked over at me with irritation and said firmly, from the passenger seat, "It'syour driving!" It wasn't always easy to see the h u m o r in their situation, or to write about it, Lindbergh explains. Acceptance of this "Other Mother" was, for her, a long and often painful journey that started after her mother's health started failing in the late 1980s. Following a series of strokes, Anne Morrow Lindbergh lived on her own in her house in Connecticut, but she required constant professional care. In May 1999, she moved into a cottage next to her daughter's house, where she received round-theclock care from a group of Buddhists. T h o u g h they were fortunate to be able to afford such help, Lindbergh notes her mother's unpredictable outbursts and silences were depressing. She had "learned to know the world" through her mother's eyes, Lindbergh explains in No More Words, noting her mother's diminishing verbal abilities. If I speak to my mother and she doesn't respond, at first I think there is something wrong with her in a medical sense (Is she deaf Is she dead?)- • • Quickly, however, I begin to believe there is something wrong with me. Frustrated by her inability to understand her mother, Lindbergh observes, "Silence means so many things to h u m a n beings. Some of them are unbearable." Anne Morrow Lindbergh had been a vibrant woman. "She once conversed and kept silence only briefly, as an emphasis in conversation," remembers Reeve. Silence for her was like a rest in music: a pause with a point. She would stop talking, then sigh, then look me in the eye or glance briefly, mysteriously away. Then she would say something that would make me laugh, or that I would write down to treasure always. For years, the elder Lindbergh

led a life as rich and exciting as that of her husband, the legendary "Spirit of St. Louis" pilot Charles. Morrow Lindbergh was ^ herself a pilot — the first woman to earn a first-class glider license — and a qualified radio operator and navigator. Her achievements landed her a place in the National Aviation Hall of Fame. In addition to her aviation accomplishments, Morrow Lindbergh was a writer. Gift from the Sea, her 1955 best-selling collection of seaside meditations on life and relationships, could be classified as "pre-feminist writing," suggests her daughter. She also wrote poetry and published accounts of her adventures with her famous husband. Following Charles' death in 1974, she continued to write and travel to various speaking engagements. Even Morrow Lindbergh's most ordinary adventure — motherhood — became sensational when her first-born son was murdered in 1932 in a kidnapping that captivated the nation. Consequently, she and Charles kept their other five children out of the spotlight as much as possible. Reeve Lindbergh, now 52, is the youngest, and the designated family scribe. Her 1998 memoir, Under a Wing, describes her experiences growing up a Lindbergh, in a family made extraordinary mainly by her fathers pioneering achievements. No More Words, by contrast, is devoted to Lindberghs equally fascinating and, in her later years, achingly elusive mother. O n e of the ways Reeve Lindbergh brings her mother into focus is by excerpting her

mothers writings. Almost every chapter begins with a poem or a passage from one of Morrow Lindberghs books. These are insightful and well-chosen. Several poems are from school publications — The Smith College Monthly and The Wheel, from Miss Chapin School. These are light and jaunty, interestingly juxtaposed with the images of their author at 93. The chapter titled "November 2000" opens with a spirited and playful poem called "Caprice [Doggerel Written After Seeing Raquel Meller]": "I should like to be a dancer, A slim persuasive dancer, A scarlet Spanish dancer, If you please!" The chapter closes with an image of the elderly Morrow Lindbergh, rapping her nurse on the head with a catalog while he trims her toenails. Reeve Lindbergh tries to put a stop to this, but the nurse interrupts her. "No, no. It's fine," he says, "It makes it easier for her, and I really don't mind." Lindbergh uses her mother's written work to create the kind of dialogue that she seeks to have with her. In one journal excerpt in which she had been reminded of her dead husband while looking up at the stars, Morrow Lindbergh writes, "The dead, too, are like this, blazing within us — invisibly." After a particularly frustrating episode with her mother, Lindbergh answers, "The living, too, blaze within us, Mother, visibly, invisibly, you within me." Lindbergh's use of her motherV writing produces three voices in No More Words, as she explains early on: I dreamed we were together on a bench at a railway station. All three of us sat there:

love her, as I had so intensely loved my real mother for more than fifty years." / Towards the end of her mother's life, however, Lindbergh discovers that she has developed a relationship with the ghostlike woman, rooted in her new, intimate knowledge of her mother's body. Lindbergh credits the Buddhist caregivers for helping her make this connection. They taught her, "It was O K to be intimate in a fun sort of way," she explains now. "They bring celebration in, not just care in an institutional or medical sense." At one point, Lindbergh takes a keen interest in her mother's feet and decides to paint her toenails. I held one of her bare feet in my hand, and thought how sleek and delicate and soft it was, like a shell from the beach, pale to trans'lucency, and rubbed smooth by loving fingers... In a perfect world, every old persons hands and feet would be treated with such tenderness and touched with such love every day. This new appreciation enables Reeve to relinquish her "habitual lens of bereaved, aggrieved interpretation." She is able, finally, to accept her mothers condition. It is as if the cluttered furniture of my own thoughts has been pushed back against the walls of our relationship. All at once there is room to move freely again. There may even be enough room to dance. This last passage appears in the chapter titled "December 2000/' Morrow Lindbergh died in February, barely two months later. Recently Lindbergh was looking through some photo-

That is to say, she was not fully fleshed but ghostlike, a human being already partly vanished into the elements.

Inside Track continued from page 5a

Dean's staff, however, reminds us of a chapter from "Profiles in Deception." Incidentally, you may recall a few weeks ago we reported catching Dean the Sneak at UVM as he was heading to the airport for a September 29 trip to California. At that time, Dean would only tell us he was going west to attend a "private dinner." Eventually, the truth always comes out. This week a reader faxed us a copy of Sneaky Dean's photo as it appears in the current issue of Lesbian News. There's Howard Dean playfully holding an electric guitar, surrounded by the members of a lesbian rock band at the ECCO Awards Dinner at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel in Anaheim, where he gave the keynote address. Turns out it wasn't a "private" dinner. Dean fibbed. ECCO stands for the Election Committee of Orange County (California). It's a gay/lesbian/ bisexual/transgender political action committee. Vermont's governor received a "Political Service Award" and was the keynote speaker that night. According to the ECCO Web site — www. eccopac.org — Gov. Dean gave "an outstanding speech" that was "met with thunderous applause and prolonged standing ovations." You'd think Ho-Ho would be proud of it. Instead, he deliberately tried to conceal it from Vermonters. Sneakiness is not a quality Americans like in a governor or a president. Let's hope HoHo gets that message soon. Public Records Request — Last week, Seven Days filed a formal request under Vermont's public records law seeking copies of Gov. Dean's daily "calendar/schedule" since September 1. Is the rccord of who the governor meets with and where the governor travels while under the protection of a Vermont State Police security detail a public document? Dean's legal counsel, David Rocchio, has informed us the answer to our request will be delayed under the law's provision for "unusual circumstances." The governor's office, wrote Pinocchio, er, sorry, Rocchio, is "extending the date on which a determination must be made to consult with the Attorney General's office and the Department of Public Safety." A response is promised "on or about December 4." Can't wait. In the meantime, we also asked Secretary of State Deb MarkOWitZ for her opinion on whether or not the Guv's schedule is a public document. Markowitz wrote back indicating the public records law "should apply" to an official's calendar/ schedule. However, she noted, some exemptions might apply to certain entries, "for example, those dealing with personal matters such as doctor's appointments." Sec. Markowitz also indicated that, "a review of recent Vermont case law indicates it is unlikely executive privilege will exempt a calendar or schedule from disclo» sure. Stay tuned. Back to Normal? — Apparently the technical difficulties have been resolved for the moment, and we're • ••>*>». r

back on the fax list for Gov. Dean's meaty "Weekly Public Appearance Schedule." The current schedule lists just one appearance for Ho-Ho. He was supposed to be on WVMTAM's "Charlie & Ernie Show" Tuesday morning, but he never made it. Charlie Papillo told Seven Days he received a message from Deans scheduler Monday canceling the appearance. Guess he doesn't want to talk just yet about his run for the White House, eh? As for the Thanksgiving holiday, Seven Days has learned that Vermont's governor will do what he does every holiday season. He'll go home to New York and celebrate with his family. You can take the boy out of New York, but you can never take the New York out of the boy. Tony & Moonie — Looks like it may be awhile before the Vermont Progressive Party puts its 2002 statewide ticket together. That's because Anthony Pollina, the party's 2000 gubernatorial candidate, is giving serious consideration this time to a bid for lieutenant governor. The reason? Tony the Prog realizes it's the race he actually has a serious chance of winning. * Burlington's Progressive Mayor Peter Clavelle, however, also thinks he'd have a chance of winning the lieutenant governor's race. Some backroom sorting out is under way. Both Proggies pro m ise that ' ' whatever decision is made will be for the good of the party. Math Problem? — The most interesting moment at Saturday's Progressive Party convention in Barre was the battle over a proposed September 11 resolution. Everything was humming along smoothly until an amendment was proposed that would put the party on record calling for an end to the U.S. bombing of Afghanistan. Veteran party stalwarts argued against it as a bad PR move that would turn people off Others said it was the morally correct thing to do. A vote was taken and there was a show of hands. Yours truly counted 83 in favor and 50 opposed. The official counter, however, Executive Director Chris Pearson, announced he'd counted just 62 in favor and 54 opposed. Interesting, eh? After a brief recess, Rep. Carina Driscoll, Congressman Bernie Sanders' stepdaughter and campaign coordinator, successfully moved to have the resolution tabled. So much for the radical, revolutionary left. Remember, Ol' Bernardo has not come out against the bombing, either. Osama Meets Harry? — The impact of September 11 hit home Friday when we attended the opening of the new Harry Potter flick at the Nickelodeon. The ticket seller denied us admission because we had a backpack. Hoyts Cinemas has just instituted a new security policy that bans "backpacks, shopping bags, oversized purses or other packages." According to Hoyts President Terry Moriarty, "It is regrettable that such precautions have become necessary." Can you say "overreaction?" (7) E-mail Peter at InsideTrackVT@aol.com

he air is cold and crisp, a reminder of impending winter, as a handful of locals gathers in the Warren Store for their morning cup of coffee. Among the regulars is a slim, handsome fiftysomething man in chinos and a button-down flannel shirt. He looks like any other patron who wanders into the century-old country store for a bit of breakfast and gossip. But if Win Smith blends in well, he is not exactly your average Valley Joe. Winthrop J. Smith, born in New York City in 1949, is the son of a founder of Merrill Lynch International, one of the world's largest financial securities companies. As the front man for the international operations, he was instrumental in expanding the company's global franchise. A recent article in The Wall Street Journal identified him as one of four high-level managers being considered for the job of CEO. The same article also detailed how he was passed over for the top spot. Now, after 27 years of „, service to the firm, Smith is stepping down to "pursue other interests," according to the Merrill Lynch Web site. Several of them might be summed up in two words: Warren, Vermont. In the past decade, Smith and his wife, Maggie, have bought up a number of businesses in the Mad River Valley. First he acquired and refurbished the Pitcher Inn, working within strict zoning laws to transform it into one of Vermont's most exclusive accommodations. Then he acquired the Alta Day Spa and Boutique, the perfect Pitcher complement. Buying the Warren Store — an upscale "country" store that caters to both locals and tourists, further diversified

his valley investment portfolio. His most recent purchase overshadows all the others, though — geographically as well as in terms of potential impact and financial risk. Last March, Smith formed a company with three fellow investors that bought Sugarbush Resort — the economic engine that drives the Mad River Valley. After watching its former owners slide into financial ruin, locals are enthused by Smith's empire building. Most see him as a sort of ski-town savior. "What Win Smith is doing for Warren and the Mad River

most of his working years living in tony Greenwich, Connecticut — where he and Maggie still maintain their primary residence, The couple has four children, one of whom is a high school junior. Their oldest daughter, Heather, operates the Pitcher Inn with her husband John Carino. Smith first discovered skiing and the Mad River Valley in 1971, while still in college at Amherst. A friend was running snowmobiling trips out of the Warren Airport. He found a ski house on German Flats Road, between Lincoln Peak and Glen Ellen ski areas, and "syndicated"

weekend. By then he had kids, and skiing had become a family affair. The Smiths continued to rent in the valley for the next few years, and finally built a second home in 1992. Their customdesigned, maple-and-granite house has a view of the resort. Not every job affords a ski chalet, or 35 days a year on the slopes, but Smith earned his snow days at Merrill Lynch. He joined the firm as an investment banker in 1974, 60 years after it was founded by Charlie Merrill. Smith's father joined the company in 1916, earning $7 a week as, a company clerk, and steadily

and his family spent much of their time. Win Jr. went to ~ Deerfield Academy, an exclusive private school where he now serves as vice president of the board of directors. It prepped him for Amherst — his father's alma mater — and graduate school at the renowned Wharton School of Business, Smith followed the path to Merrill Lynch and worked his way up — just like his father did. "I've had a series of positions, literally, on the institutional side, the private client side, the U.S. side, the international side," Smith says. "I've done everything

"Change, anddev-etfoptnent are one toapfi anitnadto I)eat, To be a Easiness owner- or resident here, y,oa need to understand that,, " — Valley shows a great deal of feeling for the area," says Dotty Kyle, co-owner of West Hill House, a bed & breakfast located near the Sugarbush golf course. "What he has done for altruistic reasons — and not to get rich — confirms that he has a deep love for the area and its residents."

ith parallel passions for skiing and high finance, Smith does appear uniquely qualified to resurrect the resort at Lincoln Peak and Mount Ellen. While his brokering background recommends him as a numbers guy, the photos around his office suggest he is also serious about recreation. One shows him mountain biking in Utah. Another catches him fly fishing in Montana. In reality, Smith has spent

rooms to Smith and his college friends on winter weekends. "We had classes Tuesday through Thursday. The weekend was Friday to Monday. It was a great senior year," Smith recalls with a chuckle. Though it turned out to be an epic snow year, Smith didn't return for 13 years. In 1984 he and some friends rented a place in the valley for a President's Day

climbed the corporate ladder until he became a managing partner in 1940. He held that position until he died of Parkinson's in 1961. His son, Win Jr., was only 11. But the elder Smith had already made a big impression. Beyond urban financial circles, he, too, was drawn to the outdoors. He bought a farm in Litchfield, Connecticut, where he

The Man on... continued from page 23a right next to the World Trade Center, Merrill Lynch lost three of 9000 local employees in the September terrorist attacks. Smith was on the phone from Tokyo at the time. But a less visible drama had been brewing inside the company for several months: picking a successor for the company's outgoing chief executive, David Komansky, who was scheduled to retire in two years. World events — and a worsening economy — hastened the process, and in a Shakespearean power grab detailed by the Journal, then brokerage chief E. Stanley O'Neal maneuvered into the top position. He also asserted a plan to shift the focus of the company brokerage business from small investors to wealthy ones with at least $1 million in assets. Smith announced his "retirement" in October, and the Journal attributed these "parting words" to him: "I'm worried about the culture." He clarifies, "I left Merrill Lynch because I felt my view of the firm was different from that held by the current management. My father helped found this company. We had a great tradition of respect for the individual, treating employees well. We used to be referred to as 'Mother Merrill.' My view is, you can be

competent and caring at the same time." That's good news for Sugarbush, which Smith says he would have bought even if he wasn't leaving Merrill Lynch. "One of the things we want to do at Sugarbush is to make sure employees are stakeholders," he says. "They should be doing their job well but also having fun."

mployee morale was at an all-time low when American Skiing Company decided to sell Sugarbush last March, according to Smith. Rapid expansion had left the ski-resort chain overleveraged, and years of bad weather sent it into a cash-flow crunch that extended all the way to its Canyons Resort in Utah. As the company's public stock continued to fall, crucial repairs were delayed and many core managers and long-time employees began to leave. A labor shortage didn't help matters, either. As Sugarbush's number of "skier days" began to decline, so did the overall state of the economy in the Valley. Owners of businesses that count on the health of the resort — inns, restaurants, retail stores — felt a grave sense of uncertainty. When Sugarbush finally went up for sale, it made headlines in Vermont and in the industry. But it was bigger news still when a

local consortium called Summit Ventures turned out to be the buyer, with Winthrop Smith, Joe Riemer, Tom McHugh and Bob Ackland — a former general manager at Mad River Glen — listed as principals. Although Smith will not disclose the sale price, the most recent quarterly financial report from the American Skiing Company suggests Summit got a good deal. Along with plans to sell Steamboat, its flagship ski area in Colorado, it lists a "$15.1 million write-down on the Sugarbush resort." The new ownership of Sugarbush lacks the access to capital afforded by a conglomerate like American Skiing Company, but "rather than dealing with a corporation that owns several mountains, we can look towards a company whose only interest is Sugarbush," offers Brooke Weston, owner of Mountainside Ski Service. Smith has launched a number of physical improvements — without going into debt: one hole on the Robert Trent Jonesdesigned golf course has already been reconstructed. Upgrades are near completion on the famed Castle Rock Chair, which accesses the resort's most advanced terrain. Future capital improvements include sprucing up the main base lodges at Lincoln Peak and Glen Ellen as well as the

Sugarbush Inn. Once these facilities have had their respective makeovers, Smith hopes to attract more four-season business in the form of concerts, festivals, horse shows and weddings.

Customer service is going to be a big emphasis. "You can't control Mother Nature and how much snow she produces. You need to focus on what can be controlled, that being the overall

experience that is left to the paying customer," says Ackland, who will run the day-to-day operations at Sugarbush, where he served as vice president of finance between 1995 and 1999. H e notes that the orientation and training programs for staffers have been totally revamped. Along similar lines, Smith is dedicated to tying the fortunes of the resort and the valley even more closely, by developing partnerships with local businesses to ensure that all aspects of the mountain provide a superior experience to visitors. "If we can't do the job well, then let's develop a business relationship with someone who can," he suggests. O n e such union: Local caterers Cooking From the Heart, owned by Annie Hayden Rhodes and AnneMarie Simko, will handle the cuisine at Knickers Restaurant. Joe Podolak, owner of Alpine Options, a ski and snowboard shop on the Sugarbush Access Road, was hired to take over all retail operations within the resort.

Boardwalk entrance of the ski area. Smith is also committed to continuing a joint initiative between Sugarbush and Mad River Glen called "Ski the Valley" that lets a consumer ski both areas on one lift ticket with a multi-night, stay. Anything to recapture the glory of the late 1980s, when 400,000 skiiers graced the slopes of Sugarbush. Even with last year s record snowfall, that number at Sugarbush dropped to 359,000.

he good news is that skiiers have to eat and sleep, too — and Smith provides a perfect, albeit pricey, opportunity at the refurbished Pitcher Inn, a member of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux hotel group with room rates starting at $300 a night. Smith literally built the place out of the ashes — it burnt to the ground in May 1993. Warren architect David Sellers first approached Smith about buying the land, rebuilding

the strict development codes in the town of Warren and the M a d River Valley. Looking at the lovely inn now, it's hard to believe the project was the source of so much controversy and contentiousness. Known for its unspoiled natural beauty, the Mad River Valley is quintessential Vermont. There are no stoplights, fast-food restaurants or even dry-cleaning services here. T h e town planning and select boards, along with 3500 or so year-round residents, seem to dislike change and development, particularly when it comes to changing the aesthetics of the landscape. "That's one of the quirky things about living in Vermont," Smith says. "Change and development are one tough animal to beat. To be a local business owner or resident here, you need to understand that." But Smith hung in there, working with boards, committees and a small minority of sometimes-hostile townspeople to build an establishment that adhered to all the rules. H e even put in a new septic system,

T h e townspeople responded by scut- < tling his request to move a "service bar" from one part of the inn to another. They argued that having a counter and stools within the inn would t b n s t i t u t e a public pub, which might have a negative impact on the character of Warren. T h e matter went from the Vermont Environmental Court all the way to the Vermont Supreme Court, which upheld the original ruling that it was O K to move the service bar but not the accompanying counter or stools. Two years later, the bar issue is still unresolved. Smith goes before the Warren Development Review Board next week to request permission to build a basement bar — with no stools — so the bartender serving waiting restaurant patrons can have a counter on which to mix the drinks. Clearly, he's got the necessary staying power to win Warren over. "For everything he has gone through with the Pitcher Inn, he has shown great patience and taste," says Jerry Nooney, chef and co-owner of John Egans Big World Pub and Grill. " H e keeps plugging away and playing the game fairly, which I think will be great for the ski resort as well." Smith definitely sees the big picture. "We view our p r o d u c t as the valley, not just the m o u n t a i n , " he says. " T h e natural e n v i r o n m e n t is one of the strongest assets we have. M a i n t a i n i n g that in a way the vast majority of people appreciate is key to developing the c o m m u n i t y support to do various things. Getting the balance between development and preservation correct is w h a t makes this place unique." ®

Rather than deaiin^ with a corporation that owns several?mountains, we can foo/l towards a company whose onfy interest is Sa^arbash, "

Brooke Weston, owner oftMountainside ££i£erv-ice As an employee at Killington, Podolak is credited with putting the popular resort on the map in the mid-'80s by streamlining and developing rental systems for the mountain. Besides his store on the Access Road, he also leases space from M a d River Glen's retail store, located on the

the inn and selling it to an investor. Smith decided to buy it himself, with the intention of turning management of the B&B over to his daughter and son-inlaw. But the project posed numerous challenges, from the complexity of the design, which is both whimsical and elegant, to

for an additional $200,000, to help the inn and the town set a standard for septic design and usage. If the construction inconvenienced townspeople for a while, it ultimately provided the town with an infrastructure for the future, since many existing systems were outdated.

ith its images of smoking rubble, Arab rioters and biohazard workers in white moon suits, T V has become a lot less fun to watch in recent weeks. At the same time, unrelated forces have made it a whole lot harder. And not just emotionally. Once the height of home relaxation, the simple act of viewing television has become serious work. The reason? The incredible shrinking screen. Oh, sure, the trend in set design has been toward larger and larger monitors. When I was growing up, my family considered our 13-inch color Zenith, with its primitive brick of a remote control, the very definition of Jetson-level luxury. By the early '90s, screens more than twice that size had become the household norm. Showrooms today display systems so mammoth they make the monolith in 2001 look like a paperweight. If I'm not wrong, the day is coming when televisions won't be sold by screen size but by square footage. Ironically, though, the more colossal sets have become, the teenier is the portion of the screen containing television programming as we have known it. Once upon a time, you turned on a 27-inch T V and the screen was filled side to side, top to bottom. That phenomenon is nearly a thing of the past, as perhaps you've noticed. Slowly, stealthily, invading visual forces have come to occupy ever greater amounts of the broadcast image. This all started about a decade ago. I remember watching a movie one evening on a

New York superstation and noticing that something blocked my view of the bottom righthand part of the screen. O n closer inspection, it turned out to be a small, transparent station logo. What's with this, I wondered. They can't wait for a break to do their station identification? They've got to advertise while I'm trying to

more obtrusive. The USA Network's is a good example. The next portion of the screen to go was the bottom two to four inches, depending on the size of your monitor. That's now routinely stripped away for one of two purposes. Channels like Oxygen feature a black band in which program-related factoids

This is not a good sign. Good luck finding a broadcast entity that doesn't employ that practice around the clock today. Only, for the most part, those logos are no longer either small or transparent. The new ones are opaque, colorful and, considerably

screen. You do the math. This leaves a third of the available image area, at best, for the show itself. News and sports programs aren't the only ones getting the squeeze from competing graphics and data blocks. The same thing has happened on T V shopping channels. O n the Home Shopping Network, for example, the program logo, phone number, copious product descriptions and little counters — indicating how many items remain in stock and how much time you have to buy them — barely leave room for on-camera pitchpersons.

Individually, we're semi-informed. Together, we're Tim Russert. We'd need to be the Waltons to take in the Bloomberg Channel. The authoritative cable finance network has pushed the picture-shrinking envelope to the brink of incomprehensibility. With its multiple stock crawls, corporate earnings graphs, real-time Dow and N A S D A Q standings, logos, multilevel business and news blurbs, air traffic controllers have less to keep track of. Channel surfing the other day, I paused for a moment on the station and tried to make sense of it while a barely visible investment expert offered advice from a postage stamp-sized space in the screen's top right corner. All I can say is, the portion of the picture filled with gimmicky extras is going to have to start getting smaller or families will have to get a whole lot bigger. ©

Restoring Balance... Helping You Live Better... t RELIEVING PAIN AT THE SOURCE

EXPERIENCE RESTORED HEALTH AND BALANCE WITH THIS SPECIAL OFFER!

Sprains, strains and injuries all heal much more quickly when treated with acupuncture. Pain, swelling and inflammation can be reduced and controlled. Bursitis, arthritis, tendonitis and shin splints also respond to acupuncture. Although tendons and ligaments heal slowly due to a limited blood supply, acupuncture can actually increase the circulation of blood to injured tissues, drastically promoting healing. For golfers, tennis enthusiasts and other athletes, not only can acupuncture help eliminate your pain, it can also enhance your performance.

INITIAL CONSULTATION &c TREATMENT* (AN $ 8 5 VALUE) Take the first step to improved health with a complimentary health consultation. Your visit includes: • Private discussion of health history • Thorough, unhurried health examination • First acupuncture treatment * Discussion of treatment plan & options • Professional recommendations

BACK AND NECK PAIN SOLUTIONS Over 80% of the adult population will suffer from some form of back or neck pain in their lives. But it doesn't have to be that way. Acupuncture can often help with problems when other treatments have failed — without harmful side effects. These treatments have been proven effective for back and neck pain and other musculoskeletal (bone, muscle and joint) conditions.

REDUCE STRESS, INCREASE ENERGY Stress can seriously damage your immune system, interfere with healthy body functions and make life unbearable. Stress, often considered an . emotional problem in Western medicine, is considered a manifestation of a pattern of disharmony in Oriental medicine. Most patients find acupuncture treatments soothing and relaxing. They also find that stress and stress-related disorders, a major cause of disease, can be effectively treated with acupuncture. Not to mention the dozens of lifealtering illnesses and conditions caused either directly or indirectly by stress.

"I had great chronic pain in my left foot from injuries from two car accidents. I was unable to do anything that required me to stand for very long without terrible pain. I tried many different medications and painkillers. The neurologist told me I would have to live with it. After visiting Acupuncture Vermont, there's been almost a 100% change in my foot pain after just a few treatments. I highly recommend giving acupuncture a chance. -Peter Camp, So. Burlington

STILL ROLLING Once a Rounder may or may not be a double entendre. Charlie MeSSing's new C D of 10 country blues and folk gems reverently references the 1960s cult folk duo The Holy Modal Rounders, among others. Messing himself was in an offshoot group in the mid-'70s, called The Unholy Modal Rounders. But the title also subtly suggests that Messing has been "around the block" a few times — the latest turn being Burlington's "original outsider pop" group, Be That Way. His perversely named Web site tells all: www.bethatwaydotcom.com. On Once a Rounder Messing faces the mike with just his burnished baritone and an acoustic guitar, which he plays with crisp and nimble agility. Look for a C D review on these pages soon; meanwhile, check out his folky paean Friday at the Burlington Coffeehouse. REEL OPPORTUNITY So you did a documentary on Thunder Road strapped to the bottom of a race car. Or you shot an Andy Warhol-style real-time vid of your cat having kittens. Hell, maybe you've got the best vacation footage ever — in claymation. Question is, what are you going to do with it? If the words "aspiring filmmaker" give you goosebumps, haul that sucker out of your dresser drawer/basement/car trunk right now and take it to the Kept Writer. The bookshop/cafe is hosting a showcase called "The Sanctuary: A Night of Independent Film and Laughter Off of the Cold Streets of St. Albans" November 29, and they want your submissions — in VHS format — by Sunday, November 25. All styles welcome, from political propaganda to animation. (Info, Tanman@pshift.com or 524-6242.) And don't forget the monthly "Another Flick on the Wall" local indie film series at

Radio Bean in Burlington. Next one's December 4 (info, 660-9346). FLOWER POWER Concert reviews rarely appear on these pages, but I have to give props to Orchid, who performed two nights last weekend at the FlynnSpace. With leader Michael Chorney on baritone sax, Zach TonniSSen on tenor, Rob Morse on standup bass and P.J. Davidian on drums, the group played two knock-out sets of Chorney's original compositions, commissioned by the Flynn. The jazz quartet was occasionally augmented quite capably by Polly Vanderputtin on cello and Caleb Elder on viola. The former viperHOUSe leader continues to amaze. Every tune was a thing of beauty: intriguing rhythms and eloquent melodies; tapestry-like arrangements that allowed each member to stand out without grandstanding. Chorney's music edges up to "challenging," then gives in to the seduction of groove, and he clearly recognizes the value of spaces between the notes. The playing? Exquisite — like an orchid. Bravo. TRIP HOPPING Pssst! Wanna go to Cuba? Here's a way to do it legally: The Flynn Center and the Vermont Cuba Project of UVM have announced their second cultural exchange to the island nation, January 7-14. The tour includes five days in Havana and two in western Cuba, and the fee includes a contribution that helps both organizations bring Cuban artists and scholars to Vermont. If you're a fan of Buena Vista Social Club, this is a vacation for you. (Info, 652-4500.) If you'd rather stay closer to home, though, consider the Flynn's annual showfilled weekend in New York City, January 25-27. This year's jaunt will include the hit plays Proof and Urinetown, then either the

SINGLE TRACKS It's become an annual tradition: Dancing off the post-Thanksgiving stupor with some vintage country and rock 'n' roll. The Chrome Cowboys and special guests — including former Burlingtonian Neil Cleary — make it happen this Friday at Higher Ground . . . Next Wednesday, tune into The Point's "Hot Lunch Special" at 12:15 to catch some of Gregory DouglaSS' new tunes. He'll debut the whole CD, Teeter, December 1 at the FlynnSpace... The Jalapeno Bros. — a fluid cast that always includes frontman Glen Schweitzer — have been in the studio since June working on their first C D in six years.

Sounds like hot stuff. . . Speaking of tours, former Strangefolk lead singer Reid Genauer hits the stage in five venues next month, including the Foggy Goggle in Bondsville December 27.

DO GOOD DEPT. "In the days following the attacks, we were all feeling powerless. We wanted to do something, but we're only cartoonists. What could we do? Well, we could draw about it." With these words, Burlington cartoonist/musician James Kochalka reports that Alternative Comics is issuing a benefit comic book to aid the Red Cross. Included in it will be seven pages of his own diary-style frames — as his alterego Magic Boy — detailing the emotions he went through post 9/11, "from crushing sadness to a kind of snotty cynical silliness," he says. The anthology will also include eyewitness tales from New York City cartoonists. If it's not exactly a return to ha-ha humor, at least it's good grief. Find info about 9-11: Emergency Relief at www.indy world.com/relief. Locally, Jumping Jimmy Branca & The Red Hot Instant Combo, with special guest Little Anthony, cook up some spicy blues for the Mt. Mansfield Ski & Snowboard Club this Friday at the Matterhorn in Stowe.

rEviEwsrEviEwsrEviEwsrEv RICHARD MAYER QUARTET, VERMONT SONGBOOK (self-released, CD) — Within the rich and varied world of jazz there's a distinct style I call "Sunday morning music." Like coffee in pajamas, it's both comforting and sprightly enough to keep the listener content and awake. Southern Vermont's Richard Mayer Quartet has produced a wonderful collection of this genre on their recent release, Vermont Songbook. Bandleader and drummer Mayer has assembled a fine selection of competent musicians to flesh out some standards and a couple more obscure songs into short, pleasing renditions that showcase the band's talent. There may be some mad chops-obsessed listeners out there who will not appreciate the careful approach taken by this quartet, but a close listen reveals their playful interchange and a deep understanding of jazz basics. Clarinetist Bob Sparkman is the most prominent player. True to his name, he ignites the band with his fast lines and committed melodic improvisations. He brings a decidedly 1920s and '30s feel to the band, reminiscent of the great Sidney Bechet. On the early jazz tune "Limehouse Blues," the clarinet lends an air of authenticity, and it transforms more quotidian songs like "Moonlight in Vermont" and "Mount Harissa" into eclectic interpretations. Sparkman's presence breathes life into songs as diverse as Fats Waller's "Jitterbug Waltz" and many of the more exotic pieces on the album, like Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine." Pianist Jerry Noble plays solidly throughout the album. The strong, clean production emphasizes his large and luscious sound. Noble drives some nice Latin numbers, like "Frenesi," and plays to the sentiment of tunes like "Nature Boy" or Porter's "Night and Day." Noble is an impressive guitarist as well, competently plucking out Django Reinhardt's "Minor Swing." This particular track suffers some, though, because of the shrill timbre of his guitar; it is no substitute for the consistent, deep undertone of his piano on the rest of the album. As a rhythm section, Genevieve Ross on bass and Mayer are flawless, their playing the essence of understatement — the origin of that Sabbath Day mellowness. Mayer allows his musicians to explore the changes and take much of the credit for the personality of the band while he and Ross drive along underneath. They loosen the reins some on Ellington's "Caravan, "a song used by jazz musicians everywhere when they want to get their freak on. When the drums and bass get cooking, it is perhaps the closest thing to "Saturday night" here. The album never rises to the frenetic level of "smokin' jazz," but it's engaging and well played. In fact, there's a large market for this music because it's so inoffensive. Vermont Songbook makes a lovely brunch guest. — Max Owre JO SALLINS, LET THE BASS SPEAK PART 1 (La Jaz Productions, CD) — Bass players are usually sentenced to a musical life of keeping a groove for other instruments to play over. Let the Bass Speak Part 1 is the latest release from Jo Sallins, the Springfield, Massachusetts, virtuoso who's been showcasing the piccolo bass as a lead instrument for more than a decade. Confidently navigating through the territory of other bass masters like Victor Wooten (Bela Fleck and the Flecktones) and Stanley Clarke (Return to Forever), as well as the work of jazz greats John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter and Thelonious Monk, Sallins slaps his way to a sound all his own. The opening track is an infectious version of Coltrane's r L y rnstt J "Impressions." Sallins shares the

• I pMrfttifWitKAMtlMt melody with the customary tenor IUT>MMMII<I«|V saxophone, giving the classic tune a MUtW . WMc beautifully fresh feel. The singular focus of the album's title doesn't let on that Sallins is also an accom11:11 plished keyboard player. He demon» nwrtattifcfcuittwtawj strates this versatility on Shorter's 'IK*" fr^KMHt "Footprints," dueling with himself on both instruments. The bass truly begins to speak on a song dedicated to Wooten called "Hey, Victa!" A sultry female voice introduces Sallins as the bass player who can do things to her that Wooten never could. The ambiguity of tl e is impossible to miss. „ Sallins indulges in a mind-bending, over-d solo that both honoj$v and taunts his mentor. The next four songs are explorations fusion similar to the spacious playing of keyboardist Chick Corea e wistful gushiness of these tunes reminds me of what an ill-advised might play in the bedroom, but the mood is mercifully shaken % the hip-hop remix of Coltrane's "Impressions" and the original "It's Not a Game." The album closes with a solo rendition of Monk's "'Round Midnight" that begins with patient reserve and fades into furious chaos. Let the Bass Speak Part 1 is the product of an eclectic musician with overwhelming talent. Whether you endure or enjoy the sappier songs, the material here is impressive. As with most virtuosos, Sallins is likely to be even more impressive in concert. He's been making his way to Burlington lately, and comes next to Red Square Friday and the Vermont Pub and Brewery Saturday. ® —Jason King

uban music is hot, in more ways than one: The torrid rhythms emanate from a socially and politically charged tropical country, and have in the last few years burned into the consciousness of listeners to the north. Beginning with the Buena Vista Social Club documentary film and CD, America's fickle \ ears have latched onto any and all sounds that flow • from our island neighbor's musi- A cal community. The love affair may be all the ^ more powerful because it feels somehow illicit, thanks to official hostility between the United States and Cuba's President Fidel Castro.

Cascarita, bongo player Gilberto Abreu, guitarist Jose Remie and maraca player-vocalist Rafael Valdes focus primarily on son. The musical tradition developed in central and western Cuba blends Spanish and African elements dating back to the 16th century. Los Fakires claim to be musicians from our grandparents'

vocals. On the opener, "Suavecito," Bringues' sonorous saxophone transports the listener into the world of pre-revolutionary Cuba. Accompanied by a guitar and light percussion, Cascarita's purring voice intertwines with the sax as each instrument tugs at the melody. "Mata Siguaraya" begins with a jaunty laugh and features

Los Fakires claim to be "musicians from our grandparents world," mastering the sound of mid-centurv Cuba.

As a result of the revived interest in Cuban music, international audiences have discovered many masterful artists who have been legends in their own country, but had previously held little hope of exposure outside it. Buena Vista Social Club, filmed by American guitar virtuoso Ry Cooder, led the way, introducing listeners to the sounds of modern Havana. In its wake, groups from all over Cuba are finding their place in the international spotlight. This Friday, the FlynnSpace presents Los Fakires, a band of sexagenarian "upstarts" from the mountainous village of Santa Clara. Named after the region's fabled "fakirs" — fire-walkers and bed-of-nails tricksters — these five gentlemen have spent decades nestled in the Sierra Maestra Mountains, developing their style. Founder and saxophonist Jose Bringues, lead vocalist

world," mastering the sound of mid-century Cuba, and playing without the overproduction that has befallen some Havana musicians. The music is rich and passionate, deeply rooted in rural traditions. Mi Casa, Su Casa, the band's new recording, exhibits their unique and stripped-down renditions of famous soneros. The small size and limited instrumentation of the group leads to a lofi, intimate sound. While the music is simplistic and open, Los Fakires use their considerable musical abilities to fill the tunes with energy and emotion. The pared-down production of Havana's Egrem Aremito studio lends a casual air to the album; the songs sound like they were dug up from original recordings of the 1940s. Two elements that separate Los Fakires from other Cuban groups and truly illustrate the transfixing talent of the band are the smooth, longing call of Bringues' sax and the evocative, playful timbre of Cascarita's

Valdes' lustrous vocals. The tune is powerful and moving, yet filled with exuberance. Punctuated with cat calls, Bringues even morphs a solo into the sound of a wedding processional. Elsewhere on the album, backing vocals are joyously shouted, making it easy to imagine the "boys" prancing around stage with the energy and abandon of teen-agers. "Chan Chan," the tune composed by Compay Segundo and made famous by Buena Vista Social Club, is given the Fakires treatment — reduced to its most simplistic elements before being rebuilt in a relaxed and improvisational way. This is Cuban music of the '40s and '50 s, informal and playful, yet masterfully performed. Buena Vista projected the image of a group of dedicated musicians perfecting their tunes in the studio. Los Fakires will bring to the FlynnSpace the sound of impish musicians sweating through fiery all-night sets in a darkened corner bar — but without the cigarette smoke. ®

entimento is an intriguing art term, defined by Webster's as "the presence or emergence of earlier images, forms or strokes that have been painted over." "Pentimento" is also the title of Alice Harrison's current exhibition at Burlington's Doll-Anstadt Gallery. The New Jersey artist's work is full of nice textures and semitransparent layers of collage and paint. However, a bit of etymological investigation reveals that the Italian root of the word is pentirsi: to repent. Harrison need not be overly penitent, but she has committed a few minor compositional sins that weaken her show overall. While the 17 works possess pleasing colors, engaging surfaces and interesting colDetail of "Her Story - Past Images," by Alice Harrison lage materials, they also seem blue in both pieces with scrambled lines of pastel, a little more static than the artist was probably paint and oil stick. intending. The pieces are from several series, which "II" has the stronger colors — orange, magenta lends the show great unity. All are mixed-media and a sparse use of greens. In the "Herstory" pieces, with collage, and Harrison's appreciation for the various collage and transferred figures appear, as tactile qualities of painting is apparent in every well as a nicely painted portrait of an older woman piece.

"West of the Moon I-III" is the series with the most serious problems — though, again, there can be no complaints about Harrison as a colorist. She is quite good at relating various blues to other hues, from sienna, to yellow, to every shade of gray. Yet each "West on the Moon" piece highlights a different structural problem. "I" has three main triangles and other geometric shapes, all in roughly the same area. That's a fine way to stabilize and flatten a piece, but is that really Harrison's intent? "II" is full of repetitious angles, and "III" has prominent parallel lines in many areas that lay over the canvas like the straps of a straightjacket. Shapes are abutted, rather than overlapped, throughout the series. Harrisons paintings are simply not moving — in either sense of the word.

arc, like the sun transversing heaven. Why this is not a single piece of four panels is not clear; if it were, it would be a very strong work. The sequential arc would change the scale of the paintings and add a dimension of implied time. It would also give a unified piece greater chromatic movement, because Harrison has altered the colors of each partial disc in a square, from crimson to pale yellow. As it is hung and titled, "Sailing in the Sky IIV" must be considered four individual pieces. There are many fine calligraphic lines in the lower right of "III," and "IV" has a wonderful collage area in the lower part of the piece, made up of solid grays and blues. But no single canvas in the series is as strong as the group.

"Summer Stock (I & II)" and the two "Herstory" paintings have figurative statements within an abstract context. The two "Summer Stock" pieces star a loosely painted but rigidly posed figure. It seems to be either a dancer or a scarecrow in a top hat. Harrison has layered fiery hues over

The Bloomsbury Guide to Art defines pentimento as "visible evidence of an artist's change of mind," and in fact that is the most commonly used definition. A pentimento is usually distracting and therefore not a good thing. But tinkering with spatial relationships, adjusting linear elements and confidently addressing the edges on the canvas to let a composition breathe are all absolutely necessary — regardless of the pentimenti such alterations may create.®"'". , ^v

dents are the ones stuck with the nightmare. The developers and the selectmen have the financial means to move away, off to develop another town and reap the money that comes from plugging in national chain stores into the outer rings of our towns. Instead, developers and town selectmen should be forced to live inside the townships they represent for at least 15 years. If they had to live in the mess they created, perhaps then they would think more long term, about towns really being towns and not complexes and certainly not "Maple Tree Places." — Robyn Battaile Burlington

continued from page 4a MAPLE TREE PLACE NOT A "PLACE" I have recently read that Williston residents are disappointed in the new Maple Tree place development. I want to ask them: What did you expect? Given the rapid and shortsighted physical development of your township in the last 10 years, why did you expect this new development to be any different than what has made Williston a fragmented town and traffic nightmare? Maple Tree Place is the antithesis of its own name: the maples were cut to level the area for the big box stores and it is not a place, either. "Place" connotes a specific location, but Maple Tree Place is a sprawling complex. I guess Maple Tree Complex, or Maple Tree Area would not sound nearly as quaint, which must be how the developers sold it to the town selectmen, who in turn sold it to the town residents.

There are two Harry Potter films now showing in the nation's theaters — the one seen by people who have read J.K. Rowling's best sellers and the one seen by everybody else. The experience of watching Chris Columbus' highly anticipated adaptation is necessarily different for viewers already steeped in the character's complex and highly inventive cosmology than it is for members of the audience assessing the movie strictly on its own merits. My guess is that one group is going to love the film a whole lot more than the other. I haven't read the books. My son has, however, so I went in with a general idea as to what to expect. Early on, I found myself enthusiastic. The scenes featuring a Z Z Top-bearded Richard Harris leaving the orphaned child on his aunts doorstep, and Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) enduring the mistreatment of the comically obnoxious Dursleys and, eventually, escaping to the liberating world of wizard school were all good fun and made for a promising first act. Even the first half hour or so at Hogwarts School is semi-entertaining. With cheerful charm, Columbus reproduces the process by which Harry is introduced to his two best-friends-to-be, is assigned to Gryffindor House with the help of a talking hat and is given his first broomstick flying lesson. The high-speed Quidditch game matches the excitement of the famous forest chase in Return of the Jedi, and Robbie Coltrane proves a dependable source of extra-large laughs as the friendly giant Hagrid. About midway through the movie I noticed that I was quickly losing enthusiasm, even though each scene contained as many whimsical ideas and fanciful effects as the one before it. I soon attributed that phenomenon to the films structure. Most stories set up some sort of conflict and then build suspense as the resolution is approached. Columbus' picture is constructed after the fashion of a lumbering celluloid lazy Susan. The effect for the viewer isn't one of moving forward toward a climax so much as remaining in place while a new and dazzling set piece rotates into view every few minutes. One absorbs the action, makes note of the imaginative touches, sits back and awaits the next. My guess is that Rowling's book is a goldmine of original ideas, and that the director figured the more he crammed into his movie, the better it would be. As it turned out — at least for the uninitiated — less might have made for considerably more. Two hours into the picture, I had no clue as to what the principal character's central conflict was, what significance the sorcerers stone actually had, who several characters were supposed to be, why both of Harrys friends seemed to be smarter and better wizards than he, and precisely what Voldemort s beef with the bespectacled boy was. Sure, I was dazzled. But I was also quasi-bored, and baffled as hell. So, what can I say? Fans of the books will no doubt be wild about the film. First-timers will find it an imaginative, good-natured and visually interesting endurance test, I suspect. Like it matters. Everyone on the planet, it seems, has already seen it. It certainly could have been much worse. A number of Columbus' films have been — remember Bicentennial Marti I didn't think so. At the same time, the big-screen debut of the world's most popular wizard definitely could have benefited if the director had placed less emphasis on spectacle and more on storytelling. Taking a kid shouldn't have been quite so taxing on the adult sensibility. With the second film in the series set to hit theaters this time next year (shooting began in London earlier this week), let's hope the sequel to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone succeeds in conjuring more powerful movie magic. ®

november 21,2001

his has been a week for thinking about nonconformity. Blame it on Harry Potter. It's impossible to ignore the hype. The bespectacled lad with an early Beatles moptop, as played by Daniel Radcliffe in the film that opened last Friday, is being mercilessly plugged by the media. He's the source of Americas most hysterical pop-culture coverage since the first British Invasion. Curiously lost in the hoopla, though, is the very thing that distinguishes J.K. Rowling's books about the young wizard: Harry is a misfit in mainstream "Muggle" society who only finds his true self when whisked away to the Hogwarts School, primarily populated by fellow outcasts. The novels are decidedly Dickensian in tone — and in the names of characters such as Rubeus Hagrid, Draco Malfoy and Professors Flitwick, Dumbledore, Quirrell and Snape. With atmospherics ranging from medieval to 19th-century, the stories also champion the underdog and the underclass much like Oliver Twist ox David Copperfield did. And there's that stranger-in-astrange-world sensibility: Many children suspect they were actually orphans left on a doorstep, a plot device in the Rowling saga. But on a record 8200 screens in 3672 theaters across the country, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone almost becomes the antiDickens — and with all its abracadabra, even the anti-Christ in the minds of some fervent Bible thumpers. The masses swarmed to the multiplexes, ready to worship the fictitious boy with a lighteningbolt scar on his forehead, who is certainly less unconventional since his soul was sold to Hollywood. At the Nickelodeon in Burlington, however, I found a halfempty room with about 30 kids, outnumbered by adults — the same quantity of viewers who come out for foreign or art-house films. Maybe it was the downtown parking challenge that kept the multitudes away? For 146 minutes, it was possible to pretend the giant Hagrid and nasty Draco Malfoy were buried treasures instead of international superstars. The unorthodoxy that makes Harry Potter so subversive to Muggles is the very essence of Together, a Swedish picture that opened the Vermont International Film Festival in October and will return this Friday for a weeklong run at Montpelier's Savoy Theater. Writer-director Lukas Moodyson sets his large cast in a nondescript suburban Stockholm house, where the living-room wall sports the requisite poster of Che Guevara, but the inhabitants — a "collective" called Together — aren't exactly flourishing in November 1975. In the late 1960s, Marge Piercy wrote a poem about how group living can go sour: "What we wanted to build was a way station for journeying to a new world, but we could not agree long enough to build the second wall..." The bickering at Together ranges from petty battles over dishwashing duty to profound sexual confusion. The relationships are hilariously murky in this comedy-drama: Goran is the good-hearted boyfriend of Lena, a manipulative narcissist. She seduces Erik, a Marxist-Leninist so devoted to the cause that he demands post-coital political discussion. Klasson, a gay man with a blonde pageboy hairdo, is attracted to Lasse — who is in turn bitter about his divorce from Anna after she discovered her lesbian leanings during therapy. Tet, their young son named for the 1968 Vietnam War offensive, likes to play a game involving makebelieve torture at the hands of Chile's General Pinochet. Into this mix comes Elisabeth, Goran's straight-laced sister, and her two kids, adolescent Eva and Stefan, a boy not much older than Tet. They are escaping Rolf, a drinker who has battered Elisabeth while under the influence. Raised with middle-class values, Eva and Stefan wind up introducing meat into the purist Together lifestyle that dictates a regular diet of beans. But the corruption works both ways: Anna persuades Elisabeth to stop shaving her armpits. Additional subplots dot the landscape of this fast-paced yet thoughtful look at the counterculture, underlined on the soundtrack by the exquisite lyrics of "Love Hurts." The song, written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, gets at how difficult it is to cherish one another. As an examination of both romance and more allencompassing human connections, the movie acknowledges that the tribal sense of family is a magnificent goal, no matter how hard to achieve. S H O R T TAKES: Gwyneth Paltrow is rumored to be producing a cinematic version of The Secret History under the umbrella of Miramax and Warner Bros. Her brother Jake has reportedly signed on as director. Donna Tartt s decade-old best seller concerns a vaguely supernatural murder at a school much like her own alma mater, Bennington College. The late Alan Pakula, Joan Didion, John Gregory Dunne and Paltrow's ex, Ben Affleck, have been tied to previous efforts to adapt the book for the big screen. The question is, will the project shoot in Vermont or at some California location trying to pass for the Green Mountain State? ®

pe^yfbuf+eR. y "3enemy e Dear Cecil, The employee health newsletter I get at work recently had an article about the glycemic index (GI), "a food rating system that tells you how fast a particular carbohydratecontaining food enters the bloodstream as glucose (sugar)." Low-GIfoods, the article said, "promote a slow, healthy rise in blood sugar," while high-GI ones cause a sharp spike accompanied by a rapid rise in insulin production. "If this happens repeatedly over time, you could be at risk for type 2 diabetes and heart disease," it went on. At first I thought the glycemic index was just a fancy way of getting you to skip simple carbohydrates (sugar, processedfoods) in favor of complex carbohydrates (pasta is the one I remember, but I suppose green vegetables and that kind of thing are in there, too). Imagine my surprise when I turned to the list of GI ratings and found that potato chips and low-fat ice cream were considered low-GI foods, Coke and table sugar were intermediate, and bran flakes, rice cakes and dried dates were considered high GI! What's the story? Should I have been pigging on chips and ice cream all those years when I was virtuously eating rice cakes instead? — Mary Lubben, Chicago Doesn't that just suck? You try to eat the right stuff, but they keep changing what the right stuff is. I agree with Woody Allen: Someday they'll decide the real health foods are tobacco, steak and beer. T h e glycemic index was introduced in 1981 as a way to help diabetics control their blood-sugar levels. Its use in diabetes management remains controversial — the American Diabetes Association still won't endorse it. But it seems to have gained fairly wide acceptance in the medical community. Now some are promoting the glycemic index as a dietary tool for the general public. O n e of the more vocal advocates is University of Sydney nutritionist Jennie BrandMiller, whose book The Glucose Revolution appeared in

1999. T h e University of Sydney, in cooperation with the Australian diabetes associations, is now working with manufacturers to publish GI ratings on food labels in Australia and North America (look for a circled G near the nutritional info). In her book Brand-Miller emphasizes that the GI isn't just a matter of simple versus complex carbohydrates, which is based on molecular structure. Instead, she says, it uses "real people and real foods." GI is calculated by feeding a standard amount of a food to test subjects and periodically measuring their blood sugar. T h e food is then ranked from 0 to 100, with 100 the equivalent of eating pure glucose, the form of sugar most directly absorbed by cells. A long list of factors can cause GI to vary: amount of processing, fiber content, "degree of starch gelatinization" and so on. Interestingly, sugar and fat tend to lower GI, the latter because it "slows down the rate of stomach emptying, thereby slowing the digestion of starch." There's no simple divide between high-GI and low-GI foods. Kellogg's Bran Buds With Psyllium is 45, but Raisin Bran is 73. Rice can vary from 40 to 90, depending on the type. Glucose response can vary among individuals, and different combinations of foods can produce unexpected results. There's disagreement about the best way to compute GI rankings (some say white bread offers a

T A M E S KecHALKft

better baseline than sucrose). W h e n you compare published GI lists, sometimes you find widely varying numbers for what seem to be the same food. All of this makes you wonder whether GI has any practical value when making ' dietary choices. GI numbers can be misleading. Carrots, for example, have a published GI of 71, which is high. Does that mean you should avoid carrots? N o t really. To get the standard amount of carbohydrate (50 grams) the test subjects had to eat a pound and a half of carrots. Nobody does that except Bugs Bunny. To get around this problem, researchers at Harvard have proposed an adaptation of the glycemic index called the glycemic load (GL), in which you multiply the GI for a food by the amount you actually eat. In a recent study they claimed that women with a high G L have a much greater risk of heart disease (for more, see www. health, harvard, edu/newsl etters/giload.shtml). Confused? Believe me, I've barely scratched the surface. I'm not saying the GI is useless — on the contrary, it can be a valuable analytical tool. There's little question that frequent wild swings in bloodsugar level don't do your health any good. But I doubt the GI will be much help when you're planning your next meal.

Camden Joy made a byline for himself by posting well-written music manifestos all over New York City. His guerrilla critiques attracted the attention of publications like Rolling Stone, and launched Joy's "legitimate" writing career. But his new book harks back to his original form of expression with three novellas that explore the relationship between music and its listeners. Palm Tree 13 is inspired by the songs of Bonnie Raitt. In Hubcap Diamondstar Halo, an up-and-coming bandleader loses his fame after crashing the record company's van. A former resident of Montpelier, Joy now lives in Boston, where he can actively explore his other ongoing obsession: baseball.

The tradition of New England Thanksgiving dates back to the Pilgrims. But the rest of the country didn't catch on until 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln mandated a national day of "thanksgiving" after a a horribly bloody year of Civil War. Actually, the original intention had less to do with unified eating than humility and atonement. Get a taste of turkey day on the farm formerly owned by Frederick Billings when costumed volunteers reenact an old-time observance of the holiday that is sure to leave out the football games and the canned cranberry. Thanksgiving Weekend. Friday through Sunday, November 23-25. Billings Farm and Museum, Woodstock, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. $8. Info, 457-2355.

comparing notes The African Diaspora covers a lot of musical genres, from the percussive traditions of West Africa to experimental jazz. Drummer Kahil El' Zabar and violinist Billy Bang represent opposite ends of that journey, but their collaboration doesn't sound like a stretch. "It's a vast and daring improvisation," according to the Chicago Tribune, "structurally lucid, intellectually profound but sonically accessible." The duo deliver an intimate and innovative concert in a cabaret setting along with copies of their new album, Spirits Entering. Kahil El' Zabar and Billy Bang. Tuesday, November 27.

zero to '60s There was more to the '60s than sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. Like Vietnam, the generation gap and the back-to-the-land movement. At least in Vermont, peace-seeking "hippies" changed the course of history. When he is not teaching his popular class on the activist era, University of Vermont professor Jay Moore runs a bed and breakfast that once functioned as a commune. He leads a strange trip back to a turbulent time in a lecture that includes a "multi-media" component. "I'm not going to lay down a heavy rap — so to speak — just talk about some things I've been learning," he assures. Spoken like a true flower child. A Brief Trip Back to the Sixties. Wednesday, November 28. UVM Montpelier Regional Center, noon - 1 p.m. Free. Info, 223-0388.

pushing papers Since he won the Pulitzer Prize for a series of editorials endorsing civil unions in the Rutland Herald, David Moats has become a reluctant poster child for the power of small-town journalism. The truth is that not all newspapers in Vermont supported the controversial gay-rights legislation — or even took a stand on it. In a talk entitled "Power and Timidity," the former New York Times correspondent and part-time playwright offers an explanation of "what the civil-unions struggle taught us about the press." Expect anecdotes from the newsroom as well as his post-Pulitzer life on the lecture circuit. David Moats lecture. Wednesday, November 28. Dana Auditorium, Middlebury College, 8 p.m. Free.

Jimmy Bosch Salsa Band Friday, December 7 at 8 p m

"Thrilling, the crowd

exultant music that had cheering." (New York Times)

From his pioneering work with Manny Oquendo & Orquestra Libre to gigs with Eddie Palmieri, Ray Barretto, Ruben Blades, Cachao, Oscar D'Leon, and Marc Anthony, trombonist Jimmy Bosch has earned the respect of musicians and listeners around the globe for his dynamic and expressive musical style. With his own nine-piece band of talented musicians on timbales, saxes, trumpet, bongos, congas, piano, bass, and vocals, Bosch takes the audience on a journey from hot salsa and swinging cha-chas to suitry guajiras and downhome Bronx-Style funk. Presented in association with University of Vermont's "Building Our Community" Initiative.

Sam likes to say, "Ah, great expectations!'

Educational Activities include Salsa & Merengue Latin Dance Workshops and a Latin Dance Party. Call 802-652-4500 for information on these events and ongoing classes in jazz and dance. Sponsored by

(Washington Post)

Brilliant writer, actor, and performer Spalding Gray returns to the Flynn after a four-year absence with his latest monologue, a touching and funny account of one day with his wife and three children in a small town on eastern Long Island. It begins with the sun coming up over the Old Whalers Church and ends with Gray being kicked into sleep by his infant son. In the tradition of James Joyce's Ulysses and Thornton Wilder's Our Town, Gray's latest work finds larger truths about life, love, and longing in the microcosm of a single day in a small town.

November 21 - 28

c A s f

ARIES

(March 21-Apr. 19): I love and respect your rational mind, but it's rather arrogant in its presumption that it can know all there is to know. Will you consider suspending its tyranny long enough to receive help from the Great Beyond? I'd like you to stretch your fantasy muscles around the following tall-but-true tale, Aries: This week your future self will try to contact you in order to provide panoramic views of the far horizon. Your encounters with the Riper You may be brief and strange, or they may appear in a matter-offact guise in the midst of your daily routine. Either way, you will be offered pithy pointers about how to shape your life's mission in the coming years.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): While walking in the deep, dark forest of symbols, you encountered a savvy old crone camouflaged as a wolf. But your fear, already swarming because of the unfamiliarity of your surroundings, kicked instantly into high gear, causing you to flee before you could see through the disguise. That, at least, is the metaphorical view of recent events according to your soul. Now that you know the truth, Taurus, go back andfindthe crone again. She has much to teach you about harvesting the treasure that comes from aging. It's a wisdom that can only come from a mature female with a well-grounded and deeply felt understanding of cycles.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): A few years ago, members of the Barbie Liberation Organization sneaked into stqres and swapped the voice boxes of hundreds of GI Joe and Barbie dolls. Boys who later purchased the plastic soldiers were surprised to hear them make comments like, "I like to go shopping with you," while the girls who came into possession of the mutated Barbies heard terse barks of "To the front lines, men!" Given your current astrological needs, Gemini, I suggest you pull off an analogous

n l n f f u

u I Ugjf i

switcheroo or two. Your world is too polarized into opposing extremes. What makes your balancing efforts even more urgent is that each extreme has become a lopsided caricature of itself. The cure is to make the yang a little more yin and vice versa.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): You will experience unprecedented expansion in 2002; I guarantee it. During the coming weeks, though, you may encounter resistance to your beautiful blooming. For advice on how to handle it, read an excerpt from Richard Wilhelm's translation of the oldest book in the world, the Chinese I Ching. "The struggle with evil must not be carried on directly by force. If we do it the favor of fighting against it blow by blow, we lose in the end because thus we ourselves get entangled in hatred. For the same reason we should not combat our own faults directly. As long as we wrestle with them, they continue victorious. The best way to fight evil is to make energetic progress in the good." L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): What is sexy? Some would have you believe it's best exemplified by a pouty, anorexic supermodel, shaved of all her body hair, frowning coldly at a steroid-sculpted, macho-dumb hunk. Others might say it's your playful voice and unpredictable face as you describe a surprising insight to a mysterious character who is thrilled by the challenges of intimacy. Whatever your personal definition might be, Leo, it's time to deepen and tone it. The cosmos is conspiring to animate your erotic sense with a surge of uncanny intelligence.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Given the heart-tugging, roots-deepening, foundation-vibrating influ-

ences that are coming to bear on you now, Virgo, you might be inclined to mope around the house and bask in self-pity for What Might Have Been. Or perhaps you'll go out and buy Andy Griffith's "Comedy Classics" CD, in which the former Sheriff of Mayberry reveals his charm as a storyteller in tales like "Flop-eared Mule" and "The Fishin' Hole." But if you would consider making a more stimulating use of all the earthy energy, let me suggest these three actions instead: Take aggressive measures to build up your physical health, stop talking about and start manifesting a postponed dream, and get as bawdy and funky as you dare.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Most scientists despise astrology, even though it once had great credibility and was instrumental in the development of mathematics, medicine, chemistry and biology. Science writer Isaac Asimov says: "Mathematics supplied the tools for understanding the movements of heavenly bodies upon which astrological forecasts were based. Observations and experiments in medicine and the life sciences were spurred by astrological predictions concerning life, death, and health." Let's look for an analogous pattern in your own evolution, Libra. Were there events in your past that seem immature or embarrassing to you now but which had a seminal impact in making you who you are? This is the perfect astrological moment to revise your views of your personal history.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Going back to sleep might be tempting. Weeks have passed since your initiation into the brave new world. You may wonder whether you have the patience and discipline to keep dealing with the explosion of

novelty. You could be in danger of becoming numb to the revelations that not so long ago changed everything forever. But I'm here to urge you to do whatever's necessary to stay awake, Scorpio. Pinch yourself, spank yourself, whisper spontaneous poems to the mirror, scrawl sacred vows on your bedroom walls. Just don't lose the primal motivating power of those supernova moments when you were reborn.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Let's cut to the chase, sweetheart. It's a whole new ball game. All bets are off. Know what I'm saying? You're back at square one. It's time to get a new bottom line. Get it? You must put your cards on the table if you expect to put the pedal to the metal. You've got to make no bones if you want to pull no punches. In other words, babe, your ship won't come if you use any of the tired cliches I've just demonstrated.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): There have been a few problems with the Pentagon's program of air-dropping emergency food into famine-ridden areas of Afghanistan. One of the biggest: In the early weeks, the "humanitarian daily ration" packets were yellow, just like the small cluster bombs that don't always explode upon first hitting the ground. Human rights groups warned that civilians might not be able to tell the two deliveries apart. Let this scenario serve as a symbol for you in the coming weeks, Capricorn. Of course your situation won't be anywhere near as extreme. And yet it'll be crucial for you to exercise great discrimination in distinguishing between two offerings, one of which would bring ultimately health and wealth, the other of which would drain you and pain you.

(AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20H Feb. 18): "Many great artists " remain in relative obscurity ! because of their resistance to formula efforts," writes journalist Alan Cabal. "Mediocrities latch onto whatever hits and repeat it endlessly in pursuit of cash or celebrity or both." I couldn't agree more. Cabal's thesis explains why there is about as much superbly unique music these days as there are Greenpeace bumperstickers on oil executives' SUVs. Having said that, I'm pleased to announce that there is currently a window of opportunity for Aquarian creators with high integrity to get their work seen by more people than usual. The astrological aspects are conducive, in fact, to the success of any project that avoids pedestrian trendiness and celebrates soulful originality.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Rambunctious singer Tom Waits is not known for his scientific research, but a few years ago he made a valuable contribution in the quest to measure sadness. Holding a spoon to his cheek during an especially blue period of his life, he found that it takes 121 teardrops to fill a teaspoon. Building on his work, I've discovered that crying for joy causes a spoon to overflow after only 98 tears, suggesting that they're bigger. I urge you to do further studies on this subject in the coming week, Pisces. You're likely to be tapping into watery breakthroughs of several varieties, ranging from the relatively poignant to the outrageously sublime. You can call Rob day or night for
