CLASS STRUGGLE In his thought-provoking article [“The Ritalin Riddle,� March 30], Ken Picard called attention to the widespread practice of medicating children with psychotropic drugs. When I taught preschool, we engaged in the authentic work of complex play situations that children ages 3 to 5 organized and controlled. They brought strengths and difficulties to the group. No one dealt with challenges through medication, a means of controlling children. Developmentally appropriate programs, not only in preschool but in primary grades, are being eroded. Children are suffering and learning is compromised by the strict adherence to formulaic standards. Burlington has adopted methods used in Cuba: making curriculum uniform across all schools in the district. I learned about the use of medication in public schools when I became a first-grade aide. I was to work towards getting a very troubled child to conform to school behaviors. In the nine weeks I was there, the teacher and I saw this child make tangible gains. The special-needs director told me all the following: I didn’t understand the school’s population. Within the context of class, looking toward the probable future, what I was doing was minimally maintaining this child. They had tried, unsuccessfully, to bring the parents “on board with the school program.� When parents are1x4-burlpreservation040605 resistant to family-based, therapeutic interventions, then children

Grift, for example, has a guitar player who solos, but this makes us no more a jam band than the fact that our trumpet player soloing makes us jazz. Yet, Adam King’s first sentence makes reference to The Grift’s role in the jam-band scene and sets the stage for both the reviewer and reader to make incorrect comparisons. My hope is that publications like Seven Days can help curb the practice of assuming that bands, Vermont bands in particular, only operate within reference to the jamband scene.

I appreciate you reading this and thank you for your time. Jeff Vallone BURLINGTON

Vallone is a turntablist with The Grift. CHECK IT OUT While I disagree with much of Jonathan Whitton’s review of Vanya/Vermont [“Rural Rhythms,” March 30], I must commend you for finding a theater critic who is able to articulate his opinion so clearly. (Two,

actually; Amanda Walker’s writing is equally lucid.) Such thoughtful reviewing can only help to raise the profile and quality of live theater in Vermont. Having said that, I think Mr. Whitton misses the main point of this production. What does Whitton think an adaptation is? If he had read the article in the previous week’s Seven Days [“A Sense of Plays,” March 23], or looked at the publicity, he might have understood that Vanya/Vermont is, in fact, a new play. By comparing it

to Uncle Vanya, it seems that Whitton lets his specific expectations of what he thinks Chekhov should be color his response, rather than judging Vanya/Vermont on its own merits. Playwright Kathryn Blume never intended to capture “Chekhov’s unique voice.” For that, one should see a play written by Anton Chekhov. One correction: Kathryn Blume was mistakenly identified as VSC’s co-artistic director, a position she has never held. She did hold the interim position of associate artistic director for a short time. Mark Nash CHARLOTTE

Nash is artistic director of Vermont Stage Company. VANYA VOTE After seeing Vanya/Vermont, Vermont Stage Company’s stunning adaptation of Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya, at the FlynnSpace last night, I have to wonder if your reviewer, Jonathan Whitton, didn’t have some kind of an ax to grind. His review [“Rural Rhythms,” March 30] totally misses the mark. I am an actress, director and acting teacher with a lifetime of professional and community experience and a great love of Chekhov. So I feel qualified to say that it is Whitton’s review — not

this production — that “leaves a bad taste in mouth.” Kathryn Blume’s adaptation succeeds on every level. Chekhov’s themes, characters and plot are reimagined in a contemporary Vermont and the result is unforced, fitting and illuminating. Blume infuses the sad and often desperate struggles of her characters with wit and humor. And her humor grows naturally out of character, so it never feels inappropriate or condescending. As in Chekhov, humor and pathos exist side by side, without one compromising the other. The production is beautifully designed and directed. Each actor brings his or her character to life with honesty and ease. And the communication between the characters is a joy to watch. We are lucky to have a devoted, professional group of theater artists in Burlington. They deserve our support, especially in their bold creation of a new work with a particular interest to anyone who lives in Vermont. Go see Vanya/Vermont and judge for yourself. It is a shame that one reviewer’s vitriol might have the power to damage the cause of intelligent, live entertainment in our fair city. Melissa Lourie WEYBRIDGE

CORRECTION: In Deborah Loring’s letter last week, an editing error led to the suggestion that Loring was identifying TruGreen spokesman, Mr. Bono, as an environmental chemist. What Loring meant to say was that she is an environmental chemist. Our apologies for the misunderstanding.

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

H

ad Pope John Paul II not passed away last Saturday, the Sunday TV news shows would have focused on the latest government study showing that President George W. Bush’s oil-driven invasion of Iraq was unequivocally based on lies and deception. Instead, we got wall-to-wall pope. And all of it delivered as if the former Polish cardinal who became pope back in 1978 was a legitimate player on the world’s current political stage. Quite frankly, he wasn’t. Does anyone care that Pope John Paul II was one of the world’s leading critics of Bush’s immoral, illegal invasion of Iraq? No matter. Dubya quickly ordered American flags to fly at half-staff. And our president is planning to attend the papal funeral. Can’t pass up a photo-op like that, eh? Does anyone care that President Bush currently owns the bloodiest hands on Earth? That his deceit on the national and international stage has led to the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians as well as thousands of soldiers on both sides? Does anyone care that American soldiers and National Guard weekend warriors will continue to be maimed and killed because our president deceived Congress and the American people about Iraq’s threat to our security? Heck, no. We’ve got a pope to bury! Praise God! Hallelujah! Four more American soldiers were reported killed in Iraq yesterday. Who cares? We’ve got a pope to bury! But let’s be real for just a moment. After all, it’s 2005, not 1505. Instead of building new cathedrals to worship almighty God, Roman Catholic churches are closing for lack of worshippers. Even in Holy Ireland, the Isle of Saints and Scholars, attendance at Sunday mass is half what it was just a decade ago. Meanwhile, over the last 10 years hundreds of Catholic clergymen have been exposed and criminally charged as sexual predators of children. Some Catholic dioceses are on the brink of bankruptcy following multimillion-dollar payouts resulting from civil lawsuits. Yes, John Paul II, the first Polish pope, was once a noble champion of democracy throughout the Iron Curtain countries of the former Soviet bloc. But that’s yesterday’s news. The Soviet Union has since collapsed. Communism, once a great threat to Catholicism, has crumbled as a political movement. The fact is, the Catholic Church under John Paul II failed miserably at maintaining even a semblance of credibility in the modern world. Under John Paul II’s leadership, its message remained locked in the Dark Ages. Over the last three decades, it became a message so out of date that vocations to the priesthood and convent have dried up, mass attendance has dropped sharply, and increasing numbers of practicing Catholics publicly flaunt church teaching. The pope’s rigid moral opposition to birth control, women’s rights and gay rights has left the Holy Roman Catholic Church an anachronism in the modern world. Even Jesus would surely be shaking his head at what the church founded on his teachings has become. Of course, the warmonger in the White House was quick to seize on the passing of

John Paul II as a cause célèbre. With our country locked in a needless, endless war in Iraq, Mr. Bush is only too happy to see the attention shift elsewhere. The news media has followed along like obedient, patriotic sheep, behaving like Pope John Paul’s death at 84 is the most important news story on Planet Earth at the moment. God help us all, eh? Vermont’s Loss — Closer to home, Vermont lost two of its all-time best in the past week: UVM Professor Will Miller and WCAX-TV owner Stuart “Red” Martin. Will and Red represented opposite extremes on the political spectrum. Will saw politics through the eyes of a leftist revolutionary. Red, through the eyes of a conservative Republican. Tributes to Miller have been pouring in. You can check them out and find more on Prof. Miller’s life at http://www.will miller.org. Martin, the man who brought television to Vermont, was a regular in “Inside Track,” even though he hadn’t spoken to us since 1996 when we asked him why his financial contribution to the opponet of Rep. Bernie Sanders had exceeded the legal limit. The spry, then 83-year-old owner of WGOP-TV told us he considered getting rid of Congressman Sanders “a public service.” Funny that Ol’ Bernardo made the Ch. 3 news report on Martin’s death, saying nice things about Red. Both Will and Red were remarkably independent souls. Vermont was a much better place for having them. Barnett’s Star Rises — The Vermont Republican Party’s 28-year-old chairman Jim Barnett is finally becoming a household word on the state’s political scene. It appears Mad Dog’s GOP fundraising letter trashing Vermont “turncoat” Jim Jeffords was the key. The young Mr. Barnett, a Vermont native, along with the young Mr. Neale Lunderville, were the campaign whizzes that got Jim Douglas elected governor in 2002. They repeated their performance in 2004. Jeffords’ supporters, including many Democrats, quickly cried foul over the Barnett letter. How could anyone slime a Vermont political legend like Jeezum Jim and call him such a vile name? On Monday, the state’s largest daily ran an op-ed piece by a Republican calling for Chairman Barnett’s removal. “The Vermont GOP Chairman Needs to Go,” by Bruce Post, a former aide to U.S. Sen. Robert Stafford and Gov. Richard Snelling, called on Gov. Douglas to “show [Barnett] the door.” Fat chance. Post compared Barnett to Karl Rove, Bush’s “political hit man, who made his fame and fortune in perfecting and implementing dirty tricks and character assassination.” Doesn’t Post realize that such comparisons make Barnett’s head swell? “I have never known Douglas to believe the ends justify the means,” wrote Post. “Now is not the time to start.

Heard everything you ever wanted to know about the life-and-death court battle over Terri Schiavo? For weeks, the story dominated the newspapers, radio talk shows and 24hour news channels. Even Laura Bush managed to bring it up during her trip last week to Afghanistan — a country her husband has yet to visit. What she failed to mention is that four U.S. National Guardsmen had just been killed in Kabul on the deadliest day for American forces in Afghanistan in almost a year. Nothing was reported in any of Vermont’s daily newspapers, on Vermont Public Radio or on local TV news stations. The story didn’t fare much better in the national media. A search of the LexisNexis database of broadcast and television news transcripts that week found just seven references to the soldiers’ deaths in Afghanistan: two on ABC, two on NBC and three on CNN. The lengths of the stories averaged 32 words — or about 15 seconds of airtime. In contrast, during the same search period, 159

programs featured stories or in-depth analyses of the Schiavo case. The four U.S. soldiers were all members of the 76th Infantry Brigade of the Indiana National Guard based in Indianapolis. According to a U.S. Defense Department press release, all four were killed on March 26 when their vehicle struck a landmine in Kabul. Indiana’s Adjutant General Martin Umbarger called it the largest one-day loss of life for the Indiana National Guard since World War II. The United States now has about 17,000 soldiers stationed in Afghanistan, including 5551 members of the Army National Guard. No members of the Vermont National Guard are currently deployed in Afghanistan, though about 40 are scheduled to arrive there by early summer. As of March 30, 122 American soldiers had been killed in or around Afghanistan, including 19 National Guardsmen. KEN PICARD

Burying America’s War Dead, and Their Story

As Seven Days reported last week, Vermont ranks among the top five states in the nation for consumption of the active ingredient in Ritalin. Now, recent figures from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health reveal that Vermont is also high on the list for its abuse of two other substances: alcohol and cocaine. Between 1992 and 2002, Vermont ranked fifth in the nation for its increase in cocaine-treatment admissions: They went up 67 percent. Over the same period, admission rates for cocaine nationally went down by 24 percent. Vermont also ranked ninth overall in the nation for binge drinking — that is, DOUG DOWS, SAFE AND HEALTHY for the percentage of people SCHOOLS between 18 and 25 who consumed five or more drinks on one occasion. But experts warn against drawing too many conclusions from these figures. It’s worth noting that the highest-ranking states, in both categories, have relatively small populations; for example, Rhode Island ranks first in the nation for cocaine use and binge drinking. Not all the drug-abuse news was bad, either. Compared to other states, Vermont has been successful in reducing teen tobacco use, which has been cut by 50 percent over the last decade. Doug Dows, who directs Vermont’s Safe and Healthy Schools, sees that as an opportunity. If Vermont can keep a lid on teenage consumption of tobacco, alcohol and marijuana, other illegal drugs are less likely to become a problem. As he puts it, “Kids don’t go to a heroin party or a methamphetamine party. They go to an alcohol party and they get heroin and methamphetamine.” KEN PICARD

Do Tax Incentives for Money Managers Add Up? Offering hefty tax breaks to the rich isn’t the exclusive purview of the U.S. Congress. Apparently, Vermont has been doling out millions of dollars in tax credits to some of the state’s wealthiest residents, with the stated purpose of creating and retaining high-paying, clean-industry jobs in the financial-services sector. But a recent independent analysis reveals the program has cost the state more than $5 million, with little or nothing to show in terms of job creation or retention. In 1996, Vermont implemented the “Financial Services Development Tax Credit,” a program designed to attract and retain brokerage houses, investment advisors, hedge-fund management firms and the like. It was specifically created to bring companies into Vermont that serve out-of-state clients, then allow those companies to claim up to a 75 percent tax credit on their corporate income tax return. In 2002, which is the last year for which tax figures

memo to lawmakers and the legislature’s Joint Fiscal Office, DED Financial Services Director Dan Towle concluded that this tax program “continues to play an important role in supporting the growth and recruitment of this important economic sector in Vermont.” Hoffer asserts that nothing could be further from the truth. After reviewing all the data available from the DET, he found that in 2002 and 2003, Vermont actually lost 36 percent of the jobs created in the previous five years — or 88 jobs — while allowing companies to claim more than $2 million in tax breaks. Meanwhile, in 2002, total payroll actually declined by $4.6 million, while Vermont companies claimed $472,331 in tax credits. In 2003, payrolls increased by less than 1 percent, while financial-services companies claimed $1.6 million in tax credits. When reached for comment, the DED’s Towle didn’t refute Hoffer’s findings, except to say, “We

Any right-thinking person who’s not completely brain-dead would see that there’s something wrong here. ECONOMIST DOUG HOFFER are available, 14 different taxpayers claimed nearly a half-million dollars in Vermont tax credits. An independent assessment of the program raises serious doubts about whether it’s accomplishing any of the desired goals. Burlington-based economist Doug Hoffer has analyzed the figures provided by the Department of Employment and Training. He reports that the financial-services tax credit has cost Vermont more than $5 million since 1996 — or about $700,000 per year, on average — and yielded no significant employment gains. In fact, Hoffer’s analysis reveals that since 2001, both the total payroll and the number of jobs in Vermont’s financial-services sector have decreased. A fundamental problem with this tax credit, Hoffer explains, is that it uses payroll as a measurement of job creation. He asserts that the financialservices sector is “a horrible industry to do this in,” as many of its employees are compensated based on the value of their clients’ portfolios. Thus, as the value of the stock market rises, so do payrolls and bonuses, without necessarily adding more jobs. Hoffer challenges the conclusions reached by the Department of Economic Development. In a recent

report the data as we get it from the Department of Employment and Training. They are, arguably, the experts in it.” He added, “This is a sector that is creating high-paying, clean-industry jobs, and it’s a sector we want to do things to support.” Though Hoffer takes issue with Towle’s assessment of this program, he doesn’t blame him personally for its failure. Instead, Hoffer asserts that this tax break is “the poster child” for the fallacy of a legislature-created economic development incentive that lacks sufficient oversight. “Any right-thinking person who’s not completely brain-dead would see that there’s something wrong here,” Hoffer says. “There’s no evidence that this is achieving its stated purpose. And if no one can come forward to make a compelling case otherwise, then let’s get rid of it, tomorrow.” Apparently, Republican Senator Vincent Illuzzi is looking to do just that. The chairman of the Senate Committee on Economic Development, Housing and General Affairs has proposed a summer study commission to look into this and other economic development programs that aren’t paying off.

Captive Market Police in Union Springs, Alabama, arrested two men within a month of each other trying to break into the Bullock County Jail. The first man tried to smuggle in marijuana. The second had pipe tobacco, rolling papers and three packs of cigarettes. “Someone could probably get $2 for a cigarette in there,” police Chief Jake Wheeler said.

Litigation Nation The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that Edward T. Coyne, 40, who rear-ended a state-owned dump truck, even though it was equipped with a flashing directional arrow and a sign announcing “Left Lane Closed Ahead” to warn motorists to steer clear of a convoy of vehicles clearing debris, can proceed with a second lawsuit against the state. Insisting that the state Department of Transportation’s actions were “palpably unreasonable,” Coyne, who had the right side of his face ripped off in the 1998 incident, said that even though DOT workers followed the department’s safety manual for setting up warnings for roadcleaning, they should have made the warning even clearer.

-V-M! U-V-M! U-V-M!” I was cruising the downtown streets moments after the University of Vermont men’s basketball team had improbably beaten the Syracuse Orangemen in a nationally televised NCAA tournament game. Spring was just around the corner, and the feeling in the bracing night air was electric; I’d never experienced a communal celebration of such intense, raw energy. Even the street party set off by the Red Sox World Series triumph last October couldn’t match this display of pure joy. Groups of friends were spilling out of the bars and clubs, and parading up and down the sidewalks high-fiving strangers, chanting and whooping it up. I was as caught up in the feeling of Vermont pride as the people on the street and began blasting my horn, as did other drivers around me. This spurred the pedestrians on to yet more boisterous cheering and waving. I thought to myself, How often do you get to witness unbridled happiness? It just felt plain good.

Cowboy placed one big paw on my shoulder. For a split second, I wondered if I should be worried. I tuned the radio to the post-game press conference. Sportswriters from all over the country were peppering UVM retiring coach Tom Brennan with questions. “Coach,” some reporter from Long Island was asking, “your player Martin Klimes took a vicious elbow to the nose with a few minutes to go. Do you know if it’s broken?” “I sure hope so,” Brennan shot back, not missing a beat. In a flash I realized how much many of us are going to miss having this big-hearted, off-the-cuff, jumbo Irishman at the helm of the team next year. “That would make it all the better,” he added, and you could almost see the mischievous grin coming through the airwaves. Paused at a traffic light amidst the raucous throng, I suddenly felt the front passenger door swing open, and in popped a regular customer I hadn’t seen in at least a full year. “Jernigan, you stupid bastard,” he said extending a meaty hand the size of a leg of lamb. “How the hell have you been?” “Jesus Fitzgerald Christ,” I said, gripping his hand and nodding a ridiculous number of times. “I been great, Cowboy, just great. Man, I haven’t seen you around in ages.” “Well, I guess not. I just got out last week. I did 14 months this time.” Darryl Menard — or “Cowboy” as all the townies call him — displayed no hint of any stigma regarding his time spent in jail. This last bit, for drunk driving and who knows what other mayhem, was not his first stint in the big house. Prior to this latest incarceration, I recall him telling me he actually enjoys, or at least tolerates, the jail time. He said when he’s imprisoned he eats better, quits drinking and usually drops about 50 pounds. I got a better look at him before the light changed to green. He did appear trimmer, though not exactly svelte. The guy towered way over 6 feet, and after his Martha

Stewart hiatus, probably still tipped the scales on the north side of 250. He was, pre- or post-jail, a bear of a man, and the shaggy auburn beard only reinforced that perception. “Hey, where we going?” I asked as my right boot slipped off the brake onto the accelerator. “I’m staying with a friend in Winooski for the time being.” “Sounds good,” I replied and steered up the Main Street hill. “Now, here’s the thing, Jernigan,” Cowboy said, his voice slipping out of the friendly growl into something vaguely conspiratorial. “There’s one guy I got to catch up with. And, when I do, I’m gonna rip his frickin’ lungs out.” “Jeez,” I said. “What are you talking about? Somebody you served time with?” “No, it’s a local guy. The dude is a wellknown drug dealer. All this past year, I come to found out, he’s been spreading shit about me. He claims I turned state evidence on him, and that’s why I got out early.” “Really?” I said. This kind of stuff intrigues me. “Which is a load of crap,” Cowboy went on. “Because, like I told you, I wasn’t even busted on a drug thing.” We swooped down the steep Colchester Avenue hill and rattled over the Winooski Bridge. This year’s crop of potholes seems more cavernous than ever. Another charming attribute of mud season, I thought. “Aren’t you on probation?” I asked, as I shifted the cab into park in front of Cowboy’s temporary digs. “I’m never off probation,” he replied with a booming laugh. He reached up with all 10 powerful fingers to scratch his voluminous beard, and then give his cheeks and chin a lusty, 10-second massage. “Well, that’s my point, man. Why would you go and put yourself in jeopardy over some jerk who’s been bad-mouthing you. I mean, who cares?” “You don’t understand, Jernigan. He’s making me look bad. I can’t let that pass — you see what I’m saying?” “Sure, but my point is that, getting even, in my experience, doesn’t live up to your expectation. You always think it’s gonna feel great, but it’s really one big letdown. To me, it feels better to just let it go.” Cowboy placed one big paw on my shoulder. For a split second, I wondered if I should be worried. Then he began to chuckle, and soon he was laughing with abandon. “Jernigan, my friend,” he said, wiping tears from his eyes with the back of his hand, “you’re always coming up with whack stuff like that. And you know something? I’ve missed it.” “Glad to be of entertainment value, Cowboy,” I said. “That’s my mission in life.” Leave it to Cowboy to affectionately pop my bubble of pretentiousness. I’ve missed that, too, I thought, then rushed back downtown to soak up the rest of the Catamount hometown victory party. 쩾 “Hackie” is a biweekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

Dear Cecil, Is it possible to be dyslexic in Chinese? Surely someone with dyslexia wouldn’t be likely to misconstrue a word’s meaning if that word were represented as a distinctive symbol as in Chinese, right? I mean, if you were to show a dyslexic a picture of a house, that person would still easily recognize it, even though he might have trouble deciphering the written word. Or am I totally in the dark about dyslexia? — Rudy, Vallejo, California P.S.: Is it true that the order of letters in a word is unimportant in reading, aside from the placement of the first and last letter? I have tried this and it seems pretty plausible. One thing at a time, bud. Your postscript refers to a bit of email lore making the following contention: “Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm.” This gave rise to a lively Internet debate, the upshot of which was that (a) the poeple at Cmabrigde had nveer haerd of tihs, and (b) the scrambling has to be done carefully if the text is to remain intelligible. (For one thing, you mix up key consonants at your peril.) To which I might add (c) none of this has jack to do with dyslexia — the fact that a normal reader can decode scrambled words tells you nothing about what a dyslexic would make of them. That said, (d) scrabmling ltteers wihle stlil pordcuing a radeable stneence is kidna fun. OK, back to business. Your letter betrays a common

misconception about dyslexia, namely, that it boils down to scrambling letters. This leads some to reason: Chinese has no letters (one ideogram = one syllable = one concept); therefore, you can’t be dyslexic in Chinese, right? No such luck. While it’s true that letter reversal is common in English-speaking dyslexics, the term refers to any reading disability, and the Chinese have their share of folks who struggle to make sense of the written word. However, they seem to have fewer of them than we Anglophones do. Some say 15 percent of English speakers are dyslexic, whereas only 7 percent of Chinese speakers are. (Others peg it at 5 to 6 percent English versus 1.5 percent Chinese, but same idea.) Why the difference? Not clear, but there are two schools of thought. School #1: It’s because English dyslexia is totally different from Chinese dyslexia. School #2: It’s because the two are the same. For years the latter viewpoint had the upper hand. But last September a team of researchers led by Li Hai Tan published a paper in Nature saying: Not so fast. Tan and friends performed brain scans of Chinese readers, both normal and dyslexic, who were taking reading tests. They found that normal Chinese readers show increased activity in the brain’s left middle frontal gyrus, thought to specialize in remembering visual patterns (e.g., the thousands of Chinese characters), whereas Chinese dyslexics show less activity there. In contrast, readers of English show high activity in a different cranial district called the left temporoparietal regions, whereas English dyslexics show less. The shrewd will now think: Jeez, sounds like you could be dyslexic in one language but not the other. Exactly. Commenting on Tan’s work in The Guardian, British neuroscientists Brian Butterworth and Joey Tang point to the case of Alan, who has English parents but was raised in Japan. Alan is severely dyslexic in English but has no problems reading Japanese. Naturally, say Butterworth and Tang. They think dyslexia is the same for everyone, and affects “phonemic analysis” — the ability to convert letters into sounds, which the reader then assembles into syllables, words, sentences, etc. Alan’s problem presumably is that he’s lousy at phonemic analysis but OK at the skills needed to decode Japanese. Japanese, so we’re clear, uses various scripts in addition to Chinese pictograms but still basically matches one symbol to one syllable. Butterworth and Tang suggest that the dyslexia = sucks-at-phonemic-analysis theory also explains why there are fewer Chinese dyslexics: phonemic analysis is an extra step for which Chinese readers have less need. Tan’s finding undercuts that idea, Butterworth and Tang concede — Chinese dyslexics seem to have a problem in an entirely different part of the brain from English dyslexics. You may say: So what? Here’s so what. Given what we know about the brain (not much), anything that helps us get a handle on its inner workings has gttoa hlep. CECIL ADAMS

MAKING BODY-MIND CONNECTIONS

Twist and Shout

M IMAGE Stefan Bumbeck

y fascination with Madonna dates back to 1984, when my 12-year-old cabin-mates convinced me to impersonate her in our summer camp’s talent show. “Madge” looks different than she did back then, but, remarkably, not much. So my interest was piqued when I learned that I could experience her preferred exercise routine — a “yoga with resistance” system known as Gyrotonic — without venturing too far from home. That’s how I find myself in Pilates Space, a newly opened studio on Flynn Avenue in Burlington. Pamela Stone, the physical therapist who owns the business and acts as instructor, introduces me to a contraption of pulleys, cables, straps, benches, weight plates and rotating disks that looks like a medieval torture machine. The Gyrotonic Expansion System is nothing I’d ever contemplate using on my own. In fact, you can’t. It’s a two-person operation. I’m working with a pro. Stone trained under Gyrotonic guru Juliu Horvath, a former ballet dancer. During the late 1970s, while trying to recover from a sore Achilles tendon, he devised a system of extreme stretches and arches he called Gyrokinesis. Based on the seven basic spinal movements — forward, back, left, right, left twist, right twist and circular — along with the workings of various joints, it incorporates principles from yoga, tai chi, dance and gymnastics. More than 10 years ago, Horvath used this methodology to design the Gyrotonic Expansion System. “We’re going to start with a little bit of legwork,” Stone says. She has me lie on my back, then fits my ankles and feet into straps that are attached to 35-pound weight plates in the 6-foot-tall wooden tower behind my head. “Let me know if

anything feels funny.” With my legs hoisted in the air, how can it not feel funny? But I keep my mouth shut and pay attention to Stone’s gentle orders, perking up at her assurance that I’ll be an inch taller at the end of this hour-long session. “Since this is called the Gyrotonic Expansion System, I want you to feel like you’re lengthening in all different realms,” Stone says. “But it should all feel good — if anything feels bad, just don’t go there.” As I move my legs back and forth in small, flat-footed walking movements, à la Charlie Chaplin, I immediately sense a stretch deep in my lower back that I’ve never experienced before; it’s like unclogging a drain. Then I turn my feet out, like Mary Poppins, and note more loosening in my mid-section. “These movements work on the glutes, hamstrings, core stability and hip rotators,” Stone says. “All different planes of motion.” Gyrotonic also incorporates the Chinese meridian theories found in acupuncture and acupressure. By aligning and adjusting my various body parts as I move, I’m supposedly allowing my energy pathways to open up; breathing deeply and rhythmically, as in yoga, is equally important. For the first 15 minutes I forget to breathe, and feel no special surge of energy. But as I do the bicycle, I start thinking that if all I need to do is lie back and fling my legs around, Gyrotonic is a snap. It gets tougher when Stone asks me to combine scissors and circles. That’s like patting my head and rubbing my stomach at the same time. Coordination turns out to be another essential component of Gyrotonic. That’s why its leather-and-steel embrace is luring an increasing number of athletes. Swimmers, hockey

players, tennis players and golfers have discovered that the hand-eye skills, along with the rotational stretching and strengthening, can help them not only feel better, but also crush the competition. “I’m seeing a huge increase in the number of athletes — especially men — taking up Gyrotonic,” Canadian sports trainer Maureen Wilson told Outside magazine last year. “They’re all looking for that edge that no one else has, and they can see how the movements in Gyrotonic will help in anything from their golf swing to rock climbing.” Since she knows I’m a tennis player, Stone has me work on my shoulder joints by repeatedly shrugging with my arms suspended in the slings; somehow, she also manages to

And my feet keep splaying to the sides. “It’s a lot to remember in the beginning,” Stone says reassuringly. “I don’t expect you to remember half of it. I want your body just to feel it. It takes a long time to settle in, because you’ve had 32 years of creating your own patterns in your body.” Instead, as I twist, turn and rotate in every direction, I think about my spine getting longer, and begin to feel a new source of grace, power — and good posture. “There’s a lot of theory about spiral movement in Gyrotonic,” Stone says. “We talk about the untapped potential of energy in the base of your spine.” Our $60 private lesson barely touches on the possibilities offered by

An evening with winemaker Alex Gambal: An American in Burgundy “Alex Gambal divides his time between the Boston area where he lives and Beaune, in the heart of Burgundy, where he works. After working in Burgundy for several years, he established a wine company there in 1996. Like many Burgundian producers, he owns no vineyards, but rather scours the area tasting and buying newly made wine—or grapes—from farmers he trusts. Back in his winery, he finishes the wine by aging and blending it, then bottling it under his label.� -the Boston Globe

THE OTHER TV GUIDE

Basket Case

C

lick through any random selection of news, talk or entertainment programs these days, and you’re guaranteed to be updated on the latest zaniness in the Michael Jackson child-molestation case. There’s no escaping it: The King of Pop arriving late and still in his PJs. Delusional videos in which he promises fans he’ll be vindicated. On-air phone conversations with Jesse Jackson in which he compares himself to Nelson Mandela. Jesus Juice. The only way this Wild West show could possibly get any wackier is for someone to sneak TV cameras into the courtroom and broadcast the proceedings moment-to-moment. Well, the judge couldn’t get behind that plan, so E! has done the next best thing: The entertainment network built its own courtroom, hired its own cast of look-alikes, and turned the real-life trial transcripts into the script for the kookiest new show on the dial. In my opinion, “The Michael Jackson Trial E! News Presentation” ranks among the major small-screen innovations of our time. I can’t believe nobody has thought of this before. I also can’t believe there isn’t a bigger buzz about it. It’s totally brilliant — a breath of fresh air in a time when brain-dead reality shows are replicating at a terrifying rate. I mean, is anybody out there in TV land waiting with bated breath for those new shows on the way, with up-close-and-personal looks at the lives of has-beens Farrah Fawcett and Tom Green? In a cathode world overrun with “Survivor,” “Bachelor,” “Trading Spaces,” “Apprentice” and “Osbournes” clones, E!’s revolutionary new approach stands out as visionary. If you haven’t caught it, I recommend you drop what you’re doing weeknights at 9 and get with the program. Recaps of the week’s action air Saturdays at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Each installment begins with a disclaimer saying what you’re about to watch is a reenactment featuring actors, and a warning that you’re likely to hear “frank talk of a sexual nature.” That is the understatement of the century, apropos of the trial of the century (so far). Typical of the frank talk: a detailed mid-March account from his young accuser that Jacko masturbated the boy to ejaculation following an evening of drinking. Then there are all those porno mags to be catalogued and characterized. If multiple sources are to be believed, the 47-year-old Michael can be a very naughty boy behind those closed Neverland gates. In fact, the testimony aired on the show is so graphic and weird, I’m surprised the FCC hasn’t started slapping E! with the kinds of fines it likes to heap on Howard Stern. The talk-show host’s indepth interviews with porn stars are PG-rated by comparison. And I would expect the folks at the agency to be watching. After all, E! is the network that airs the televised version of Stern’s radio show. One of the things I relish about this fake-trial broadcast is how hilariously low-rent it is. Given that it chronicles the trial of one of the world’s most privileged entertainers, its budget and cast are highly comical. Where production values are concerned, we’re talking “Court TV” meets community theater. The courtroom looks like it’s made of brown-colored cardboard. The actors don’t even pretend not to read off TelePrompTers. And the wigs look like they were bulk bought at a Toys R Us Halloween clearance sale. Few things on television right now compare to watching the guy who plays lead defense counsel Thomas Mesereau unleash a blistering cross-examination with what looks like a floor mop on his head. The actor who plays Santa Barbara County District Attorney Thomas Sneddon most resembles

The testimony aired on the show is so graphic and weird, I’m surprised the FCC hasn’t started slapping E! with the kinds of fines it likes to heap on Howard Stern. the real thing. But if the fellow sitting in for Jackson didn’t show up in pancake makeup, a crested blazer and an armband every day, he’d bear almost no resemblance to the accused. Where’s the dedication to the craft here? The least he could do is get a nose job, or cheek implants. Or have his lips or eyes surgically modified. The guy looks like a linebacker next to the actual Wacko One. The show’s producers are smart enough not to overestimate our attention spans. Even Jackson trial testimony would become tedious if we had to listen to all of it. Instead, they reenact the juicy parts and then cut to an expert panel for commentary and analysis. Host James Curtis heads up a roundtable of legal pundits that includes one-time Jackson representative Howard Weitzman and a couple of female attorneys I’ve never heard of. Getting Weitzman to take part was a coup; it’s fascinating to watch him put the day’s developments in the con-

text of his past experiences with Jackson. Things are only going to get Jesus Juicier. A lot of the testimony so far has centered on the singer’s bizarro in-flight drinking rituals, fingerprints on smutty publications and borderline ho-hum accounts of life behind the scenes at Neverland. All man-boy hell is about to break loose, however, now that the judge in the case has decided to admit testimony concerning a virtual Menudo of alleged former victims, including two that received multimillion-dollar settlements from Jackson. The program’s tagline is “Witness the testimony. Decide for yourself.” My decision was made the first day I tuned in. You can keep your D-list celebrities, interior designers, bachelorettes and nannies. For my money, the only reality show in town is this three-ring blast of experimental theater about a boy who brought a shocking charge and a superstar who believes he can beat it. m

repudiating Barnett and showing him the door, Douglas might cost the Vermont GOP some money, but he may indeed help save its political soul.” What Mr. Post and most Vermonters apparently don’t realize is that Gov. Scissorhands has no problem whatsoever with Chairman Barnett’s performance to date, or with his “Turncoat” fundraising letter. In fact, when asked about it the other day, Douglas sang Mad Dog’s praises! “Chairman Barnett,” said Douglas, “will do what he feels is in the best interest of the Republican Party, and he’s been a very successful chairman. He’s raised a lot of money. He’s restored the financial base of the party in a very positive way.” Amen. As for Mad Dog’s response to the op-ed attack, the GOP chairman had a short and sweet one: “The First Amendment is a wonderful thing!” The fact is, in the liberal/progressive paradise called Vermont, the GOP holds some pretty impressive real estate: the governor’s office, the lieutenant governor’s office and the state auditor’s office. In politics as in life, talent rises to the top. And at the moment, the GOP talent is winning. P.S. One sign of Barnett’s increased stature is that he was able to get White House Chief of Staff Andy Card to come to little Vermont for a Burlington fundraiser on April 15 at the Wyndham Hotel. Should be fun! Veto Backfire — It’s not that the Democrats aren’t trying. But last week’s attempt by the state party to overturn Douglas’ first veto of the legislative session blew up in their faces. The bill would have consolidated investments of several state pension systems. The Guv objected to a technicality in the bill. The Democrats hold a vetoproof majority in the state Senate. But in the House, the GOP has 57 out of 150 seats. A two-thirds veto override would require Republican “turncoats.” The Democratic Party rose to the veto bait, deciding to make it the session’s first public test of strength. The Ds sent out postcards to voters in selected Republican legislative districts urging them to contact their rep and urge a veto override. The mailing, however, only served to stiffen the spine of the Republicans. When the showdown came, only one Republican, Rep. Mary Morrissey of Bennington, pulled a Jeezum Jim and voted with the Democrats and Progressives. The vote was 87-57, leaving the Ds nine votes short of the required twothirds. It was a very sweet victory for Gov. Douglas. “I was very disappointed that this became such a political undertaking,” said Douglas. “The Democratic Party spending money to affect the outcome of a veto vote in the General Assembly is unprecedented,” he added. Did the Democrat Party strategy backfire? “That’s a tactical question,” replied Democratic State Chairman Peter Mallary. “We’ll all learn

from one piece of it or another. Basically, I ask you to look at what we sent out. All we sent out,” said Mallary, “was a postcard with some facts which stated the Democratic Party position on this.” Damn facts. Progressive State Rep. David Zuckerman, like his fellow Progs, voted to override. However, Zuckerman wasn’t shy about suggesting the Democratic mailing made the difference. “There were other groups out there,” said Farmer Dave, “trying to get folks to call their representatives and get Republicans to consider the merits of the bill over the politics of the situation.” An override of the Douglas veto looked doable, said Zuckerman, but then the Democratic postcards hit the mail. “The postcard created a clear political line,” he said, “and it made people fall on one side or the other.” Live and learn. Moonie’s Last Hurrah? — Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle gave what many think was his final “State of the City” address Monday evening at City Hall. Clavelle was in top form — relaxed, confident and justifiably proud of his long record of accomplishment. Ah! If only he had been as skilled at running a statewide campaign for governor, eh? If Clavelle had won the governor’s race last November, the question surrounding health-care reform legislation under the golden dome wouldn’t be “Will it pass?” but rather, “When does it take effect?” As Clavelle noted back in 1989 when he first became mayor, the city and school department shelled out about $2 million to provide health-care coverage for employees. Today that number is $10 million. Who pays? Property taxpayers, that’s who. And the future is not looking too bright at the moment. President Bush’s proposed federal budget, he said, “will undermine the ability of this city to thrive.” While the president wants $500 billion for the military in a world where we’re the only superpower, Bush also wants big cuts in funding for the homeless, community development block grants and housing subsidies. “These challenges will come home to roost this year,” said Clavelle. Listening intently to the mayor’s speech were about a half-dozen politicians eager to replace him next spring. Democratic State Rep. John Tracy, who announced his candidacy a few weeks ago in this column, sat in the front row. Republican Councilor Kevin Curley’s hat has also been tossed into the mayoral ring. And seated next to Curley was Ward 4’s new Republican Councilor Kurt Wright, who may also have an eye on the mayor’s office. Progressive Councilor Jane Knodell all but took her name out of contention, telling yours truly she’s pretty busy these days with her responsibilities as a dean at UVM. (Besides, she earns twice the mayor’s salary at Groovy UV.) But fellow Prog Phil Fiermonte told us he “hasn’t ruled out” a mayoral

SEVEN DAYS | april 06-13, 2005

run next year. Former Democratic State Rep. Karen Lafayette is also considering a mayoral shot. Her grandfather Ed Moran was once mayor. In fact, the Waterfront eyesore — the abandoned Moran Generating Station — was named after him. Karen’s currently a Statehouse lobbyist representing the city. It just wouldn’t be appropriate to discuss future political plans, she said. Ward 6 Democrat Andy Montroll told us he is “seriously considering” a mayoral bid, but noted the obvious: “It’s still really early in the game.” In fact, Rep. Tracy’s surprise announcement has created a little backlash. It’s clear fellow Democrats are not anywhere close to conceding the nomination to John-John, and feel a little bit ignored by Tracy’s early entrance. Though Tracy has masterfully transformed a bartending career at Nectar’s into success in the legislature, many question what he’s ever accomplished for Burlington. As for Clavelle, his crunching defeat last November appears to have left a bitter taste in his mouth for another gubernatorial shot. That would be most unfortunate. There are few political leaders in Vermont who can match Clavelle’s record of accomplishment, and a nicer guy you’ll never meet. All Moonie lacked was the Democratic equivalent of Barnett and Lunderville on his campaign team. Being in politics for any length of time means winning some and losing some. Mayor Moonie has had some recent defeats, but over the long haul the legacy he’ll leave behind will be one for the history books. New Voice — Rep. Bernie Sanders has a new press secretary and, for a change, he’s picked a woman! Erin Campbell graduated from the University of Arizona in 1997 with a degree in English. Last fall she was communications director for Democrat Patsy Keever, unsuccessful candidate for Congress from the 11th District of North Carolina. How did Erin get the job with Ol’ Bernardo? She applied! According to Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ chief of staff, “dozens and dozens” applied to be press secretary to the only Independent in the U.S. House of Representatives. Five applicants got interviews, and three of them got to sit down with Ol’ Bernardo for a final screening. Ms. Campbell is Sanders’ third consecutive press secretary who lacks Vermont roots. “The truth is,” said Weaver, “we always like to hire folks with a Vermont connection.” Unfortunately, he added, “many people who live in Vermont are not anxious to leave.” No kidding. m

The Other Poor

t was encouraging to learn in your March 16 story, “When Working Doesn’t Work,” that concerned Vermonters want to deepen their awareness of poverty here and nationwide. The story portrayed the type of people poverty usually brings to mind: single mothers STORY with children. The elderly also receive a great deal of STEPHANIE attention in discussions of poverty, and rightly so. MAULL But there’s another group of poor citizens who seldom get noticed. We are single, childless, non-elderly individuals who have fallen into “situational poverty” — loss of income due to unemployment, major health catastrophes or other unexpected turns of events. Single taxpayers provide a significant source of income to both state and federal governments while drawing relatively few benefits. We have followed the rules we were taught would lead to the American dream. But the system has let us down. I hope that reading about my situation will encourage Vermont’s legislators, representatives and policy makers to fix the inequities in the support system. After attending a prestigious New England college, I earned a Master’s in education. I had hoped to teach English in Europe, but when that didn’t pan out, I took a job at a local college as an administrator. After working at that job for three years, I got the surprise of my life: I was diagnosed with cancer. When I returned to work from my 12-week unpaid medical leave, I discovered that many positions were being downsized, including mine. That was June 2002. I got another job the following September that lasted until April 2004. Then I was out of work again until around Thanksgiving, when I finally landed new employment. Ninety days into the new job, I was told that my services were no longer needed. Once again, I have no means of support. I used my last paycheck to pay my rent and as many of my other bills as it would cover. After that, my checking account was down to $50. My savings? Zero. On a Friday I went to the Department for Children and Families (DCF) to apply for emergency food stamps and the Vermont Health Access Plan (VHAP). A courteous benefits specialist looked at the balance in my bank account and the letter from my employer verifying my dates of service, and assured me that I would receive food stamps the following Tuesday. I left her office feeling hopeful. By Tuesday everything would be OK. My $50 could cover my $25 phone bill — a necessity since I live alone with a history of seizures and diabetes. I spent my remaining $25 on food, confident that I could survive until Tuesday, when my food stamp credit card (EBT) would be activated. On Tuesday I went to the store. It wasn’t until I got to the checkout line, with a long line of shoppers behind me, that I learned my EBT had been denied.

seven days I went to the post office and found a letter from DCF. The kind woman who’d reviewed my application on Friday had been asked to turn my case over to another benefits supervisor. That person had determined that I was ineligible for food stamps and VHAP, based on my projected income from unemployment. But my first check wouldn’t arrive for three weeks — almost one month after I’d lost my job.

differently. My dentist refused to see me for a toothache because I had a past bill in collection. When I sought low-income housing, my application was denied. Very few of the apartments available are suited for single people. The property manager commented: “Oh, you don’t work,” as if to suggest that not working is my chosen lifestyle. I pointed out that I do receive an income, and reminded her that discriminating

We have followed the rules we were taught would lead to the American dream. But the system has let us down. I appealed and was granted $130 in food stamps, on a onetime-only, emergency basis. With 10 days left my EBT card, my balance was down to $20. I counted my pennies carefully, budgeting no more than $10 for food. When my balance got down to $3.77, I managed to find groceries for $3.75. But it did not last long. When my unemployment check finally arrived, three days short of one month after I lost my job, there were two cents left on my card. This is how I’m living now: My weekly unemployment check is $325. Usually I request taxes be deducted up front. I pay $550 rent — 50 percent of my income — for an efficiency, which does not include a private kitchen. My two prescriptions cost me $100 a month. I don’t have a car, so I rely on cabs for transportation. Food is a cash expense. I pretend that I’m on food stamps, and spend only $20 a week. How do I do it? Tuna on sale is 67 cents a can, and Ramen noodles are seven for $1. Put them together and you have Ramen Noodle tuna soup — not exactly what a nutritionist would recommend, especially for a diabetic. As for fruit and vegetables, how can I afford them? When people find out you’re out of work, they respond to you

against someone who’s receiving unemployment is against the law. I have a strong work ethic and will continue to actively seek employment every day. But during this last unexpected bout of unemployment, I have noticed that I am developing a fear of the workplace. Given all the budget cuts and the state of the economy, I wonder: If I go through the tedious and mentally fatiguing process of looking for work, will the next job last? Or will there be another surprise? I wonder if any psychologist or psychiatrist has coined a phrase for this type of fearful anxiety — one desires work so badly, but fears the unknown of a new workplace. What should be done? Food stamps should be provided until the DCF can confirm that a client’s first unemployment check has arrived. It should be possible for clients to receive food stamps and VHAP benefits throughout unemployment. Income guidelines for food stamps and VHAP should be changed for single people. We are taxed substantially when we work and then again when we’re out of work. The support system doesn’t meet the cost of living. By coming together constructively, we can fix the system so that no one has to live with this sort of economic strain. 쩾

ans of Vermont author Sarah Strohmeyer’s four previous “Bubbles� books will be either alarmed or gratified at the title of her latest: Bubbles Betrothed suggests that the hair-stylist-turned-investigative-reporter-and-acciSTORY dental-sleuth has finally gotten her handPAMELA some AP photographer boyfriend Steve POLSTON Stiletto to muster the “M� word. Bubbles does indeed accept a large-carat Harry Bubbles Winston ring, but as for the marriage, Betrothed well . . . by Sarah Far be it from this reviewer to spoil the Strohmeyer. Dutton, surprise. Every chapter in Strohmeyer’s effer293 pages. vescent mystery offers up enough unexpect$19.95. ed twists to keep the pages turning regardless of connubial outcomes. Such as the bizarre murder of a local high school principal, her suddenly fawning though still slimy ex-husband Dan, a thug who seems bent on Bubbles’ demise, a punked-out daughter who goes missing, and a preacher’s daughter with a very dangerous pastime. Strohmeyer just keeps getting better, and Bubbles Betrothed offers more frothy fun than Victoria’s Secret. If you’ve yet to experience the Bubbles phenomenon, allow me to introduce her: Bubbles Yablonsky is a statuesque babe with the closest human approximation of a Barbie-doll body and a penchant for clothes that admirably fulfill the promise of “tight and skimpy.� And she’s got the mind of someone who took, um, more than four years to get through Two Guys Community College — this located in a former department store in the worn-out steel town of Lehigh, Pennsylvania. But to say Bubbles is dumb would be just plain mean, and not entirely accurate. A

longtime employee of the House of Beauty, she is naturally nosy as well as observant; between the ladies’ ear-to-the-ground gossip and her womanly instincts, Bubbles has know-how that make her a natural in a newsroom — or at a crime scene. So what if she’s a little dim on certain vocabulary words. Oh, and she’s also got the pluck of a Marine and a heart as big as her bleachedblonde hair-do. That’s not to say she’s above flipping careless motorists the bird from the window of her decrepit, graffiti-enhanced Camaro. Bubbles is mother to Jane, who in this installment is a high schooler pining for Princeton. She’s got the brains, if not exactly the ancestral advantage, for the Ivies. She’s also got brilliant pink hair and numerous piercings, and a clueless boyfriend who goes by the single letter G — “for God or genius, depending.� A vegetarian with high ideals, Jane is generally the most grounded, “real� character in the series. To Bubbles she’s the only positive outcome of an ill-advised, unprotected quickie with a frat boy who had beer cans strapped to his head. Marrying the guy didn’t turn out as well. Bubbles worked her well-manicured fingers to the bone to put Dan through law school, only to see him leave for a cheesesnack heiress and change his name to Chip in order to sound more WASP-y. Though he’s a constant source of irritation and exasperation for Bubbles, Dan is not a bad father. And when Jane is kidnapped, the exes find reason to bond — sort of. The love of Bubbles’ life, though, is Steve Stiletto, who’s as impossibly perfect physically — think Mad Max-era Mel Gibson — as

SEVEN DAYS | april 06-13, 2005 | feature 23A he is elusive. Those exciting overseas assignments keep calling. So do all those other women. But Stiletto claims to be crazy about Bubbles, and since she abandoned her vow of chastity a couple books back, they have managed to squeeze a little sex in between the escapades: In the week that he’d been away I’d forgotten how broad those shoulders were. Muscular and smooth. Not a hair on them. Just defined tendons that continued up his strong neck. Wouldn’t you know it, next thing I knew the only thing covering my thighs were Stiletto’s hands. Like in a bad movie, the windows were fogging up and we found ourselves in the back entwined between his ratty photo bag and half a month’s worth of New York Times scattered over our naked bodies. Strohmeyer’s prose is fastpaced and witty, and she draws even her secondary and tertiary characters with enough devilish detail to make them fully and often humorously human. Much of the series’ zaniness comes from the antics of Bubbles’ scrappy Polish-Lithuanian mother LuLu and her musket-wielding, conspiracy-theorist best friend Genevieve. This time around they play lesser roles, however, presumably busying themselves with planning Bubbles’ wedding at the Polish American Club. In Bubbles Betrothed, our heroine has finally left the salon and landed a full-time position at the News-Times, where she has to contend with a slothful, arrogant fellow reporter and rookie assignments such as municipal meetings and Madonna sightings. But the book begins with an accidental journalistic coup when Bubbles finds herself inadvertently tossed into jail with “Popeye,” a psychotic homeless woman who’s been accused of murdering Principal Schmidt. As Popeye talks, Bubbles takes notes. And after Popeye suddenly drops dead, everyone — from the cops to a Polish mobster to a mysterious podiatrist on the lam — wants to get hold of her notebook. No doing, of course; journalists have their rights. Bubbles hides her notes where no one would think to look: at the House of Beauty. Strohmeyer keeps multiple subplots going like a world-class juggler, and interconnects them in ways that only occasionally feel forced. She also provides the color of place, and vernacular of speech, that paint a picture of Lehigh and its working-class, mostly Eastern European residents: It was late November gray going on dark and miserable. That happens to be the average forecast for the Lehigh Valley, by the way. Dark and miserable with pockets of acid rain. If that sounds depressing, think again. “Dark and miserable” means “pollution,” and “pollution” means the steel plant is still chugging and that means there’ll be dinner on the table. We usually feel flush when the sun’s gone . . . >> 24A

While our front yards on West Goepp won’t win any House Beautiful awards, our postagestamp gardens in the back are freaking cornucopias in the summer. Tomatoes, beans, and zucchini — enough to make all sorts of pickles, breads, and relishes. We tend not to eat our fresh vegetables fresh in Lehigh. We’d rather boil them in jars until they’re mush, and throw them in later with overcooked meat . . . Details like these give Strohmeyer’s novels a reasonably realistic foundation, over which she constructs all manner of wacky goings-on. As told by Bubbles, these passages also show us the wry affection she holds for her down-at-the-heels town and its motley inhabitants. For all its flaws, it’s home. And for all her carefully made-up beauty, Bubbles remains an appealingly vulnerable heroine: She’s a working-class underdog who always has to prove herself. She’s funny. She’s loyal and responsible. And, like most of us, she screws up on a regular basis. The Bubbles books are not for everyone; for one thing, the girly details — including recipes for homemade skin-care products — probably keep most guys away. (Never mind “Dan’s No-Fail Antisweat Method for Men” in this volume.) And those readers who prefer mysteries filled with gritty, gruesome crimes and forensics-based solutions should look elsewhere. But there are, apparently, plenty of “Bubblesheads” awaiting this author on her book tours. And Strohmeyer, a former news journalist who resides in Montpelier, can now confidently count herself among the ranks of mystery novelists with a series based on a compelling female protagonist. Even if she never writes another, five is a respectable body, er, book count. Of course, her closest kin in the comedy-mystery department, Janet Evanovich, has laid down the authorial gauntlet with twice that many volumes and an expanded franchise in other formats. When interviewing Evanovich, the creator of the popular Stephanie Plum series, for a newspaper article years ago, Strohmeyer confided her desire to write similar books. Evanovich — a fellow Pennsylvania native — suggested the title Bubbles Unbound. When it came out in 2001, the book won Best First Mystery from the Agatha Awards. It was in a sense an extension of Strohmeyer’s earlier book, Barbie Unbound: A Parody of the Barbie Obsession, which she claims to have written while staying home with baby number two and suffering from cabin fever. That book became a cult hit. After her mystery debut, Bubbles in Trouble, Bubbles Ablaze and Bubbles A Broad followed in rapid succession. The series hasn’t quite achieved Harry Potter-level acclaim. But after reading Bubbles Betrothed, Strohmeyer’s fans will no doubt be waiting, like expectant brides, to take the next step. 쩾

Mrs. Pulieo was hunched in Sandy’s chair, a pink plastic apron around her neck and perm rods in her hair, flipping through People magazine when I came in, Oscar nipping at my ankles. What had gotten into that yipping dog? It was like he suffered from doggie ADD. I’d worked there for more than a decade, but you would have thought I was a substitute mailman. “Dan’s been calling every half hour looking for you,� said Sandy, who was at the front desk doing bills. All My Children was muted on the TV. “I told him you don’t work here anymore, but it didn’t sink in. Nothing sinks in with him.� “He wants me to do an investigation. Something’s going on at his work and he won’t tell me. It’s really stupid.� I tossed Sandy the orange envelope. She stopped punching the calculator and regarded the envelope warily. “More lipstick samples?� “Kind of. Why don’t you check them out?� Sandy unclasped the envelope and removed the photos. She flipped through them with the trademark calmness she displayed for frantic mothers of the bride and tempestuous teenagers in prom night fits. “Interesting,� she said, stopping at one photo. “Not an angle you see very often.� “Not in Penthouse, at any rate.� “Probably there is a porno magazine, though. Foot Fetish Weekly.� “With articles on ‘How to Master the Toe Job.’� (For that’s what was going on in the photos. Toe sucking. Did your dirty mind suspect some other activity?) “Well, it is going on in a podiatrist’s office,� I said. “Might be considered therapeutic. Maybe even insurance pays for it.� I had a sudden, impressively insightful thought and filed it away. “See? That’s the rug Doctor May has.� “Doctor May’s where Principal Schmidt was murdered?� “Doctor May who the police now say might be missing.� Sandy was hooked. “How did you get these?� “Someone left them in my car this morning when I was covering a soap drawing of Madonna, before I was kidnapped by a couple of Polish mobsters.� She glanced up at me. “I might not offer the best benefits and you might have to work Saturdays, but, then again, you don’t get hauled away by Polish mobsters as a staffer at the House of Beauty.� “I’m really committed to being a reporter. Thanks anyway. I might take up your offer if the devil schedules me for more overtime.� “Pardon?� “Skip it. Do you have a magnifying glass?� “Sure do.� Sandy opened her top drawer and pulled out a large magnifying glass. She scanned the photo. “Fascinating.� I came around to her side of the desk. “You noticed that, too, say?� “Looks like that Raquel Welch wig. Breathless.� Sandy put down the glass. “Why would she be wearing a wig?� “I’m thinking so she can look like Doctor May. I saw a photo in Doctor May’s office. She has the exact same haircut.� “So Doctor May wearing a wig would be pointless,� Sandy said, thinking. “You should call around to salons and see if anyone’s been buying the Breathless lately. That could be your woman.� “Not a bad idea. By the way, I have an update on Stiletto and me.� “He’s already married?� “No. He’s marrying me.�

Naming the Problem Forty Angela Sheltons provide a snapshot of sexual abuse in America

I STORY

KEN PICARD Searching for Angela Shelton showing and discussion, Ira Allen Chapel, UVM, Burlington, April 13, 7 p.m. Info, 656-7892 or http://www.search ingforangelashel ton.com. Free.

was 13 the first time a girl told me she had been raped by a family member. We were riding a bus across the Great Plains during a cross-country camping trip for 45 teenagers. To this day, I don’t know why she confided in me. We weren’t dating; I barely even knew her. Maybe she just needed to tell someone, and I was the first guy who’d ever bothered to listen. At that age, rape and incest were so unfathomable to me that I didn’t know how to respond, so I said nothing. This infuriated her, and she didn’t speak to me for the rest of the summer. I remember hoping to never hear another story as horrible as hers. By the end of the six-week trip, two other girls on the bus had told me their own stories of rape or incest. Since then, many other people, both women and men, have confided in me about their sexual traumas. Nearly all the victims knew their perpetrators; as I recall, none ever saw them brought to justice. One woman in her late twenties still lived with the father who’d raped her repeatedly when she was a child. For years, I assumed that I’d heard so many stories because I was a good listener. Now I know that it’s because so many people have these stories to tell — one in six women, by some estimates. Filmmaker Angela Shelton discovered the same thing in the summer of 2001. The lead actress in director Gavin O’Connor’s 1995 film, Comfortably Numb, and co-writer/ producer of O’Connor’s 1999 film Tumbleweeds, Shelton drove across the United States in an RV to make a movie about all the women she could find who shared her name. The filmmaker didn’t set out to make a documentary about sexual violence, but she soon discovered that of the 40 Angela Sheltons who would speak to her, 24 had been raped, beaten or molested. She herself had been molested repeatedly by her father and stepbrother from the time she was 3

until she was removed from the home at age 8. The project became a spiritual journey that not only transformed the filmmaker’s life but those of dozens of other Angela Sheltons. In the process, it launched a nationwide movement to expose the hidden epidemic of sexual abuse in America. Shelton, now 32, lives in Los Angeles but travels extensively promoting her film, speaking at schools and community groups, and raising money for rape crisis centers. Ten percent of the proceeds from the film go to sexual violence awareness groups, which also help sell or distribute the film. Shelton brings her film to the University of Vermont on April 13 as part of Sexual Violence Awareness Month. Following the free screening, audience members will have an opportunity to meet the filmmaker and discuss her project.

in 57 days, during which we meet a number of Angela Sheltons, as well as their spouses, friends and families, and see where they live and work. The film is told with brutal, unsparing honesty; in one scene, the filmmaker flies into a fit of rage after her father denies having molested her. In another, we see her wake up from a nightmare about visiting her father — and then promptly break wind. In a phone interview with Seven Days, Shelton describes the monumental impact this project has had on her life. “It’s like in the cartoons when an anvil falls out of the sky and hits you in the head,” she says. “That’s kind of how I felt.” Shelton says she could have used any name and gotten similar results — she wasn’t even born Angela Shelton, but dropped her father’s surname at age 18. Although the Angela Sheltons differ in terms of race, geog-

about their personal lives. When she first began phoning the Angela Sheltons, many suspected her of being a con artist who was trying to steal their credit-card numbers. In order to make them feel more comfortable, Shelton told them about herself, how she’d worked as an actress, screenwriter and filmmaker and had grown up in an abusive household in Asheville, North Carolina. “As soon as I told them all about my life,” she says, “that’s when the floodgates opened.” Not all the Angela Sheltons agreed to be interviewed on film, and several who did later asked not to be included in the movie. Two others agreed to have their stories told provided that their locations weren’t disclosed. Their stories are among the film’s most heart-wrenching. “Don’t come by here,” one Angela Shelton tells the filmmaker by phone, audibly drunk.

Another Angela Shelton confesses that after she told her father she’d been raped as a teenager, he took her attacker out for a beer. Despite its dark subject, Searching for Angela Shelton tells a remarkably uplifting and at times even humorous story of healing, forgiveness and the power of individuals to overcome enormous personal trauma. In it, Shelton (the filmmaker) reconciles with her estranged stepbrother, who was himself a victim of sexual abuse, and confronts her father on Father’s Day. The documentary follows Shelton’s travels over more than 13,000 miles

raphy and socioeconomic background, it’s astounding how much they have in common. For example, nearly all of them work as caregivers of some kind, including two who are nursery-room nurses. One Angela Shelton is even employed as an undercover investigator tracking sexual predators; ironically, she lives in the same North Carolina town as the filmmaker’s abusive father. What’s remarkable is how easily Shelton got all these women to speak

“I’m a nobody . . . I’m lower than a fucking dog.” Another Angela Shelton confesses that after she told her father she’d been raped as a teenager, he took her attacker out for a beer. Shelton spent three months traveling across the country with her fiveperson crew, only two of whom knew each other before the trip began. There were long hours and a grueling shooting schedule; the crew took only two days off in 57. Although Shelton “was adamant about us having fun,”

she says, there were times when the experience was overwhelming, such as when Shelton confronted her father. “We were all an emotional wreck,� she recalls. “[We learned] there was only one of us on the RV who didn’t have a past of abuse.� For Shelton, the hardest part wasn’t the road trip or even confronting her father. It was editing the movie, which she did alone in her garage. “It’s one thing to talk about your past and confront your perpetrator,� Shelton says. “It’s a whole other thing to have it on film and watch it every single day for three years.� What made it worthwhile, she says, has been the film’s enormous impact. After television appearances on “Oprah� and “48 Hours,� Shelton was inundated with letters, phone calls and emails from people around the world. About 50 other Angela Sheltons have since contacted her, including many teenagers. Sadly, she says, a large number of them were also beaten, molested or abused. In fact, the response was so overwhelming that Shelton was literally made ill by all their stories. “I was told that I had compassion fatigue,� she says. “I had no idea that actually existed. I’m

like, ‘That sounds so L.A.’� Shelton is now writing a book about her spiritual journey entitled Piecing Myself Together. She says she’s still in contact with several of the Angela Sheltons from the film, including several who join her at speaking engagements on incest and domestic violence. Since the film’s release, three of the women have become police officers. Not everyone reacts positively to the film. Often when she speaks, Shelton reports, there’s an abuser in the audience. Some come forward to confess and apologize for their offenses, but others are confrontational. “The only people who’ve had a real problem with me are perpetrators,� Shelton says. “Or else it’s people who have such heinous abuse backgrounds that I bring up something so deep within them that they don’t want to talk about it and instead they project their anger on me.� Asked if she thinks the problem is getting better or worse, Shelton says, “I think it’s getting much better. I think there is a transformation happening, based on what I see on the streets.� Then again, this film has also revealed to her how pervasive the problem is. Wherever she

goes, Shelton says, she meets abuse victims, from the cab driver who drove her on the morning of our interview — he told her that both of his wives had been molested as children — to the security woman in the airport who screened her luggage that day. Recently, Shelton was horrified to learn that a child in her own family had contracted a venereal disease from her biological father. She’s the same age Shelton was when her molestation began. “This is not a women’s issue,� Shelton says emphatically. “It drives me crazy when people say that. A man raped and molested me. It’s my issue now?� In one sense, this is Shelton’s issue now — or, more accurately, her cause. Though she plans to continue making movies that aren’t about rape or molestation, she’s in the process of creating the Angela Shelton Foundation for sexual abuse victims. Next year, Shelton will travel around the country, with backing from The Lifetime Channel, to lobby for tougher state and federal laws on sexual violence. Though this film is complete, Shelton says, there’s much more work to be done. “It’s not going to stop here, by any stretch. It’s actually just begun.� m

NO FREE RIDE Is there room on the bus for all of us? story: cathy resmer images: matthew thorsen

A car accident 12 years ago left J.J. Martell a quadriplegic. But being disabled doesn’t mean he’s immobile. The 35-year-old Burlington resident — a goodhumored, bearded man — gets around his neighborhood in a motorized wheelchair. A few days each week, he commutes to his Colchester job, where he uses voice recognition software to do data entry. Martell owns a handicap-accessible van. But since he requires a caregiver to drive it, and he only has help in the evenings, most of the time it stays parked in his driveway. He rides to work, and elsewhere, in a paratransit van — usually one operated by the Special Services Transportation Agency. You’ve seen SSTA vans on the road; they’re hard to miss. They look like regular 15-passenger vans, but with a bulky, three-foot addition on top that enables someone to stand inside. When Martell drives his wheelchair to the van, the driver must get out, open the doors, and operate the motorized wheelchair ramp to get him inside. The driver then secures Martell’s chair with four tie-down straps. The process takes a few minutes to complete, and must be repeated in reverse when the disabled passenger disembarks. SSTA Executive Director Murray Benner notes that not everyone who uses SSTA’s ADA services is in a wheelchair, but they all need special care and attention. “If you get a little old lady who has a walker,” says Benner, “it can take us 10 minutes to get her down the steps.” He adds that dealing with other physical and mental disabilities, such as Alzheimer’s, can turn a 2-mile trip into a lengthy excursion. That’s one reason rides on SSTA’s 38 vans are so costly. Along with compensation for the driver who helps riders in and out of the van, there’s also the price of the vehicles themselves — they run upwards of $40,000. Add in insurance and rising fuel costs and you’re left with an increasingly pricey personalized service: about $40 an hour, or $19.75 for the average half-hour trip. That’s the flat rate SSTA charges most of its clients. Who pays? The riders shell out $2.50 per trip. A

The bus parks at the Mobil Short Stop. It waits there for 20 minutes or so — the time it would have taken to complete the route — then continues back toward the Cherry Street station. federal or state program may pay for the remaining $17.25. Otherwise, it comes from the coffers of the town the rider lives in — as required by the 1992 Americans With Disabilities Act. If a disabled rider lives within three-quarters of a mile of a Chittenden County Transportation Authority fixed bus route, and the trip takes place during CCTA’s regular service hours, the originating municipality is obligated to pay the bulk of the fare. The federal government issued this directive but failed to fund it. That has led to a worrisome situation. As Vermonters are getting older and less mobile, CCTA’s ADA ridership is growing. Since 1997, it’s more than doubled. Today CCTA serves nearly 2000 ADA-eligible riders, who took 28,861 trips last year. These rising costs are forcing communities to make difficult decisions, and, ironically, threaten to make public transportation less accessible to the general public.

Elderly and disabled people aren’t the only passengers whose trips are subsidized. Taxpayer dollars help pay for all public bus service. The Americans With Disabilities Act dictates that any time a municipality provides a service to its residents, it has to make that benefit available to all of them, regardless of ability.

That sounds great, but it’s turning out to be expensive. Communities that want to provide bus service have clearly underestimated how much extending it to everyone would cost. As CCTA bus ridership increases, towns’ price tags go down. But as ADA-mandated SSTA use goes up, so do local costs. In many Vermont towns, public transportation is still not an option. But where the CCTA buses do run, the benefit has become something of a burden. Some communities, such as Winooski, have been particularly hard hit. Onion City residents took a total of 1353 ADA trips in 2002, 2173 rides in 2003, and 3448 in 2004. That’s an increase of nearly 60 percent two years in a row. The city’s 2006 budget — rejected last month by voters — included a whopping $24,000 increase in CCTA funding. ADA ridership was responsible for almost all of it, raising Winooski’s CCTA bill from $87,000 to more than $111,000. Those are big numbers for a town of about 6700, which has a higher poverty rate — and a larger concentration of seniors and low-income residents — than do its neighbors. CCTA Executive Director Chris Cole calls providing these services “a laudable goal, and good policy.” But he points out that it places a burden on municipalities that, at some point, they may be unwilling to bear. “If ADA ridership continues to

escalate,” he says, “it’s going to come at the expense of the fixed route system.” In other words, there could soon be fewer buses running on fewer routes. The town of Shelburne has already cut bus service. Faced with a 162 percent increase in ADA ridership in 2002 — the total went from 546 rides in 2001 to 1434 in 2002 — the town scaled back its service in order to lower costs. CCTA used to make 28 trips to Shelburne on a typical weekday. Now it makes 14. To achieve that reduction, the bus parks several times a day at the Mobil Short Stop at the corner of Route 7 and Allen Road. It waits there for 20 minutes or so — the time it would have taken to complete the route — then continues back toward the Cherry Street station. Shelburne’s stop-gap measure doesn’t actually reduce CCTA’s overhead; Cole and company are still paying for the driver and the bus. But because the bus doesn’t stop in Shelburne, the town pays less, essentially shifting some of its cost burden to other towns. South Burlington City Manager Chuck Hafter calls this system “unsustainable.” Shelburne Town Manager Paul Bohne III agrees. “It’s a crazy situation,” he admits, “but until we find some other way of funding CCTA, that’s the way it goes . . . It’s the age-old problem. We have a lot of services that are needed, and yet the ability to pay for those services is limited.”

The strain of this unfunded mandate is being felt all over. Winooski City Manager Gerry Myers spoke about this year’s unexpected increase at an informational meeting the night before Town Meeting Day. He sounded defensive as he explained that it was related to the ADA increase. “We didn’t have this problem three years ago,” he said. Accessibility advocates point out that seeking benefits required by law is hardly a “problem.” Stan Marshall of Winooski, who uses a wheelchair, calls the argument that disabled residents are threatening CCTA’s public transportation “bullshit.” “You must provide accessible transportation, period,” he says, “the same way that you can’t discriminate against women.” Marshall’s implicit message: If serving disabled people means cutting fixed route services, that’s tough. Cities need to figure out a way to deal with it. Why has ADA ridership increased so much over the past few years? No one seems to have an answer — not the folks at the CCTA, nor city officials, nor disability and elderly rights advocates. But there are some theories. Attitudes towards disabilities have changed in general. Since dependence on a wheelchair no longer means being confined to one’s residence, it makes sense that more physically challenged people would use public transportation. And the population is aging. Most people agree that the increase is coming mainly from elderly riders, rather than younger disabled people like Martell. Myers and others have also suggested that there is more awareness of the program today than in years past — advocates have successfully publicized the service. CCTA’s Cole also observes that even one or two new residents can skew the numbers if they use the service often. Dialysis patients, for example, need rides three times a week. There has also been talk of fraud. Just about everyone concedes that some people are probably abusing the system, though Cole points out that the CCTA has recently tightened eligibility requirements. It will now refuse service to people who repeatedly cancel rides at the last minute or don’t show. And Cole says that in the last few months, the CCTA has been trying to determine which of its ADA clients are capable of riding in regular cabs, which cost much less than SSTA service. John Barbour, executive director of the Champlain Valley Agency on Aging, says the increase is most likely related to senior housing. He notes that Winooski has several senior housing complexes, all of which — like everything else in Winooski — are within three-quarters of a mile of a bus route, but not necessarily within walking distance of a supermarket or pharmacy. >> 30A

MORE MORF? If you’re elderly or disabled, SSTA isn’t the only way to go. But you wouldn’t know it from CCTA’s paratransit brochures. CCTA contracts with SSTA to transport its ADA-eligible riders. Private-run Morf Transit of Burlington offers a similar service. Morf owner Paul Robar, who is also a partner in Benway’s Taxi, is sharply critical of SSTA. He started adding paratransit vehicles to his van fleet nearly two years ago, after noticing that his long-time elderly customers often waited hours for an SSTA ride. He recalls, “I thought, That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen in my life.” Today Morf has four paratransit vans, with a fifth now being outfitted. They transport about 80 physically challenged people a day, some who are referred by hospitals and nursing homes, and some who call the company directly and pay for the service out of pocket. The rest come to Morf through CCTA, which acts like an HMO for its ADA-eligible riders. Dispatchers ask customers which service they’d like to use, but without mentioning Morf as an option. Not surprisingly, SSTA gets most of that business. Marcy Ryan, a Winooski resident who uses a wheelchair, is an exception. She gets most of her ADA rides through Morf. The company is “much more flexible,” she says, noting that Morf’s drivers are often more helpful. For example, they let her

bring along a car seat for an infant she watches. SSTA does not allow car seats. But SSTA director Murray Benner says Morf is not necessarily the better choice for CCTA’s ADA riders. He points out that SSTA drivers get special training to help their customers, and have been screened for any history of elder abuse. Morf doesn’t check criminal records or provide special driver training. There are significant price differences, too. Morf’s fares for short trips around town are cheaper than SSTA’s — only $16.50, compared to SSTA’s $19.75. But because the private company charges a zonal fare rather than a flat rate, longer trips can be more expensive with Morf. A ride from Burlington’s North End to Shelburne could run up to $25.50. If the ADA-eligible passenger has come through CCTA, that increase gets passed on to local taxpayers. Robar disputes Benner’s claim that SSTA charges a $19.75 flat rate within the CCTA service area. He says, “I don’t buy that for a minute.” In this niche market, he insists, competition is a good thing. “We’re looking to improve a system that definitely needs a lot of improvement.” C.R.

If you get a little old lady who has a walker, it can take us 10 minutes to get her down the steps. SSTA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MURRAY BENNER

He points out that when communities build senior housing within three-quarters of a mile of a bus route, but not on it, it’s more likely seniors will take advantage of ADA transportation. “Sometimes the towns think that seniors are kind of cheap to house,” he says, “but there is some additional cost.” Barbour adds that the costs are only going to rise. “Between 2005 and 2015,” he says, “the size of the 65-and-over population will rise by 38 percent . . . somehow, this whole society’s going to have to come up with a way to cope.” For now, Chris Cole is seeking an infusion of cash from the state.

He and Winooski Mayor Clement Bissonnette recently testified before the Senate Transportation Committee to

ask the state to shift some of its federal transportation money to fund the ADA portion of CCTA’s budget. All told, that bill comes to nearly half a million dollars. Transportation Committee Chair Dick Mazza (D-Colchester) says the response to the request was “positive . . . It made a lot of sense to us.” He points out, though, that the committee has other priorities to consider, such as funding for transportation in rural areas. “But if there’s ever an area he needs help in,” he says of Cole, “this is probably one that we would address.” Still, the Senate’s actions depend largely on the House including the funds in its transportation-spending bill. And at this point, there’s no certainty that will happen. Mazza suggests that

if any action is taken on the proposal, it’ll likely occur next week. Cole is hopeful that he’ll get help. “All I’m asking for is some money to pay for the transportation of disabled and elderly people [to lessen the impact on these communities]. It seems reasonable.” But Murray Benner of SSTA says even that measure may not work. “It’s not like the state has a pot of money.” Speaking from experience, he observes, “There’s just no easy way to do this. There’s just no easy answer.” It’s a question Vermonters must confront as the need for this service increases. Because public transportation isn’t just about getting places, it’s also about freedom. “I find it easier to take the SSTA van,” says J.J. Martell, “because then I don’t have to depend on anybody.” 쩾

This is not the sort of show one expects to see at the Folklife Center — which is why “Weavings of

War” may generate some much-needed attention for this Vermont institution. Bringing this first-of-its kind, crosscultural show to Middlebury is a coup for a 20-year-old center specializing in preservation of the spoken word. Meg Ostrum, a Montpelier-based consultant to the Folklife Center, serves as project director for the exhibit, which will make stops at several academic museums around the country over the next two years. The Folklife Center is co-producing the tour and provides its debut venue. The exhibit, comprising about 50 weavings and appliqués from Asia, South America and Africa, has its origins in a smaller show that hung briefly in a Soho gallery in New York in the mid-1990s. In the aftermath of 9/11, Ostrum explains, Folklife Center staff recalled that display as they considered ways of illustrating the effects of war on textile cultures in various parts of the world. Ostrum then contacted City Lore, the New York equivalent of the Folklife Center and the organizer of the Soho show. The two institutions, along with the Michigan State University

Museum, collaborated on this updated and expanded version. “The Vermont Folklife Center typically focuses on folk culture in the state,” Ostrum says, “but we also recognize that Vermont is not an island. There’s been a great influx of refugees from war-torn places in the last two decades, and while this show doesn’t include pieces they’ve made, it does reflect their experiences.” A few Vermonters who fled war in Laos in the 1970s will take part in an April 26 panel discussion at Middlebury College. This is one of a series of talks, films and performances the college is hosting during the next six weeks in conjunction with “Weavings of War.” The arrangement with the college is part of Folklife Center efforts to reach out to Vermont organizations and school groups that might find the show pertinent — and no doubt poignant. But it’s difficult to imagine a contingent of middleschoolers making their way through the center’s gallery without bumping into mannequins modeling war-themed sarongs, or brushing against a Montagnard

blanket hung from the ceiling. The small partitioned area is crammed with works that need more expansive display in order to be fully appreciated. The quality of the pieces is also uneven. In general, the show deteriorates aesthetically as it proceeds from section to section. Its stunning first half, featuring the Turkmen rugs and a half-dozen “story cloths” made by Hmong weavers in Southeast Asia, is followed by a grouping of “memory cloths” by South African women who were given materials, stipends and apparently limited instruction by workshop organizers at an arts center in Durban. The resultant vignettes of life under apartheid may prove moving, but the compositions themselves are too childlike to be considered charming. “Weavings of War” concludes with a colorful sampling of Peruvian and Chilean arpilleras — small patchworks with cloth figures attached in soft bas-relief. A few of these pieces by Quechua weavers in the Andes present pictorial narratives of warfare similar to the story cloths made by Hmong refugees half a world away.

Reading, Writing and Rhythm Music preview: UVM Jazz Ensemble, with The Chico O’Farrill Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra.

A

brash sound is blasting from the second floor of the Southwick Recital Hall on UVM’s Redstone Campus. It’s Latin jazz, big-band style — an enticing mix of complex tonalities and ass-shaking polyrhythms. STORY This is music for the brain and the body, a CASEY neon splash of propulsive harmony. The REA UVM Jazz Ensemble are getting a major musical workout playing this stuff, and they IMAGE look like they’re having a great time doing it. MATTHEW The 21-member group, under the direcTHORSEN tion of Assistant Professor of Music Alex Stewart, is rehearsing for an upcoming perUVM Jazz formance at the Flynn MainStage. Opening Ensemble, for the Chico O’Farrell Afro-Cuban Jazz with The Chico Orchestra, they will perform O’Farrill comO’Farrill Afro-Cuban Jazz positions that are as technically demanding as Orchestra, they are arresting. Known as “the Duke Flynn MainStage, Ellington of Latin jazz,� the late composer’s Burlington, harmonically dense pieces combine classical April 8, influences with danceable rhythms. O’Farrill’s 8 p.m. $30. son Arturo will lead the Afro-Cuban group at the Flynn performance. He’ll also guest-conduct the UVM Jazz Ensemble for a few numbers, so the students want to be ready. Their professor is helping them get there. With sandy, curly hair, smallish glasses and an unassuming air, Stewart seems more like a preoccupied physics instructor than a big-band leader. When conducting the ensemble, however, he becomes a whirlwind of activity. His hands wave emphatically as he booms out criticisms and suggestions. “It doesn’t sound percussive enough,� he explains to the brass section during a break. “Play it like you’re the drummer.� To emphasize his point, he instructs the rhythm section to sound out the figure for the horns. “It’s the beginning of the note that’s

Larry McCrorey, who taught at the UVM medical school for 30 years, praises Stewart’s tenacity. “Jazz was antithetical to their mission at one point,� he says of the music faculty. “They didn’t feel it was an art form. I can recall getting into a big argument with a bunch of people in the music school, because they didn’t want any jazz musicians to play on their pianos. I mean, can you imagine saying something like that to Oscar Peterson? “But Alex turned it around,� McCrorey continues. “We owe him one hell of a lot for what he has done to transform that music department into something modern.� A saxophonist and woodwind player by trade, Stewart has toured with the Lionel Hampton Orchestra and even accompanied the late Ray Charles. Now he focuses on teaching and writing. He’s almost finished a book about New York City big bands, which contains a chapter on Chico O’Farrill. “It’s something that I’ve been working on for about eight years now, but it’s almost done,� he says. “It’ll be coming out next year from University of California Press.� In addition to conducting the Jazz Ensemble, Stewart teaches classes in jazz history and improvisation theory and practice. But his main passion is Latin jazz. “It’s music of the heart, mind and feet,� he says. “It’s still connected with dance music, which is a something that a lot of straight-ahead jazz has lost.� According to Stewart, O’Farrill’s music is a great example of this marriage of brain and boogie. “Not only did he combine Cuban rhythms and melodies with North American jazz but he did it with the training of a clas-

doing here, like the Chico O’Farrill concert.” “Going to Cuba was an incredible experience,” says trumpeter Audrey Leduc, a senior who was on the department’s first trip to the island. “It was just amazing. The people there just eat, breathe and sleep music.” An environmental science major, Leduc has been playing for 14 years, mostly studying classical. “I got kind of sick of it,” she says with a laugh. “When I joined the Jazz Ensemble, it was the first time that I’d been challenged in a long while.” Although she’ll soon have her science degree, Leduc hopes for a full-time career in music. “I’m going into live sound engineering, and playing in a few different bands,” she says. “Music is just what makes me the happiest.” Alex Toth, a trumpet player in his junior year, had no intention of majoring in music when he enrolled at UVM. “I was originally going for psych,” he explains. “But I got a lot of encouragement with music, and it was a really good decision to switch.” Still, Toth thinks the non-music majors take the band just as seriously as he does. “The key thing is that the students are actually practicing their instruments,” he says. “They understand that if they actually want to do anything with it, they have to.”

Senior Rob Duguay plays upright bass in the ensemble. A business major with a full course load and a part-time job, he somehow finds the time to gig, study and rehearse. “I play with this group twice a week, then I have another combo, and I play at Radio Bean on Fridays,” he says. Although he’s considered one of the finest young musicians in the area, he’s relatively new to his instrument. “I’ve only been playing for four years,” Duguay says. “I couldn’t really do too much before I came here.” He especially enjoys working with visiting artists. “Rufus Reed, Clark Terry, Paquito D’Rivera — those people are great,” he says. “That’s another thing to commend Alex Stewart for. He really helped us out with these opportunities. He does an awesome job of exposing us to all kinds of different music.” Stewart refuses to take all the credit, though. “A big part of why this is a great program is the town of Burlington,” he says. “It’s an ideal place to come to work on your art. I grew up in Boston, and the scene there now is kind of moribund. There are so many students, and there aren’t enough places to play. Sometimes the kids here even make good money, which is unheard of in some cities.” Stewart also thinks it’s important for young players to gain

practical experience before throwing themselves into highly competitive markets. “A lot of kids go to New York long before they’re ready. When I was a kid, people would study in Boston, Miami or Texas and get their shit together, then they’d go to New York.” Stewart isn’t the only high-caliber talent involved in the program. The university recently hired flutist Patricia Julien to keep up with the department’s growth. “She teaches a lot of theory classes,” Stewart says. “She’s sort of my partner in crime, and we work together really well. Tom Cleary is an essential part, too. He’s a great pianist and teacher.” The list of instructors giving one-on-one lessons reads like a Who’s Who of the local jazz scene. “John Rivers teaches bass, and he’s a world-class player,” Stewart says. “Brian McNamara teaches saxophone, and Andy Moroz trombone. Joe Capps teaches guitar and Geofferey Cunningham handles trumpet. Jeff Salisbury teaches drums, and Steve Ferraris percussion. We’re very lucky — they’re all really great players.” McCrorey thinks everyone involved in the UVM jazz program is the real deal. “These people are steeped in jazz,” he says. “They don’t just think of it intellectually or academically. They feel it in their bellies.” 쩾

Cocoa Brovas came

together in 1993, making a major mark on the underground scene. Originally known as Smif-N-Wessun, the duo changed its name in 1998, due to a legal dispute with a certain weapons manufacturer. But their fast raps and street-smart swagger remained intact, and now they’re primed for the big time.

GROWING COMMITMENT

LIFE AFTER SYB

The Vermont Victim/Survivor of Crime Council raises awareness about the issues facing victims of crime. Part of the Vermont Center for Crime Services, the organization works with legislators, schools and communities to assure that those suffering receive the help they need. “We do a lot of work in compensation,” says Staff Liaison Sharon Davis. “We have a fund that helps with expenses that aren’t taken care of by insurance, such as funeral expenses. We also have a training department for professionals in the field.” Through impact groups and outreach programs, the VCCS serves as a link to victims/survivors and communities. On Saturday, April 9, at Burlington’s City Hall Auditorium, Tammy Fletcher & the Disciples and The Lil’ Joe Moe Blues Band play a benefit concert for VCCS’ Memorial Garden Project. A “symbol of growth and renewal,” the garden is intended to send a “healing message” and help survivors feel less isolated. Although still in the planning phase, the installation will most likely find its home in Montpelier. Now, about that concert. Besides great music, attendees get refreshments and a chance to participate in a silent auction. Prizes include a night for two at the Stoweflake Inn in Stowe and gift certificates to local establishments. The festivities kick off at 7 p.m., with a suggested donation of $10. For more information, call 241-4335 or email sharon.davis@ccvs.state.vt.us.

You’re probably aware by now of the breakup of Vermont’s long-running funk/blues/jam institution, the Seth Yacovone Band. While fans are still pretty bummed, the good news is that ex-members have been keeping busy with new projects. Yacovone himself has been especially active, playing four nights a week all around the state. He’s flying solo lately, showcasing material he calls “more dark than light, but with enough belief in future salvation as not to induce wrist-slitting.” That’s a relief. Yacovone hopes to do some recording soon, as well. “I have an idea for a project loosely tied to the theme of disillusionment regarding the American Dream,” he says. The concept sounds pretty heavy, but it’s a little too early to be talking release dates. “I can hear the album in my head, I know what musicians I’d want to use, and I have the track listing and the material,” he continues. “I just don’t have the SETH YACOVONE budget to do it right. And to quote Hunter S. Thompson: ‘Anything worth doing is worth doing right.’” In addition to his solo gigs, Yacovone’s got a couple of special events planned for May. “We’re doing a show at Metronome on the 20th, covering The Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main St. in its entirety,” he says. The backing band for that show comprises members of Squash, Human Canoe Review, Robert Wagner Trio and even his old group. Can’t wait to hear that. Fans can also look forward to Yacovone’s Friday “Happy Hour” residency at Nectar’s the same month. Ex-SYB drummer Steve Hadeka recently joined up with exploratory dreamrockers The Cush. “It’s nice to have a break from the ‘power trio’ format,” he says. “The Cush’s five-piece sound is so much more fleshed out, and we really jive very well onstage.” Hadeka, who is also a graphic designer, recently launched a smart-looking website, the aptly named SteveHadeka.com. He’s created eye-catching flyers for Voice, The Jazz Guys and Rock and Roll Sherpa, to name a few. Former SYB bassist Tom Coggio has been giving lessons and working in his “custom home/auto/marine upholstery shop” in Richmond. No word yet if he’s planning to join a new band full-time, but you can always point your browser to the still-active http://sethyac.com for updates.

SENSITIVE SCRIBE Local guitarist/songwriter Steve Williams is one hell of a busy guy. You might know him as a member of Burlington-based indie-rock bands Liberty Valance, The Magic Is Gone, My First Day on Junk and, most recently, Colin Clary & the Magogs. Well, somewhere between all that gigging and recording, he found time to write a book. Fight for Your Frequency is a collection of sweetly reflective poems about “love, self-doubt and getting the girl,” according to its author. Written from the perspective of a “26-year-old shoegazer with no self-esteem,” the volume contains tales of cross-country road trips, springtime Sunday evenings and other romantic musings. It’s available online at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com, as well as from the publisher, Iuniverse.com. Although a lot of us can probably relate to Williams’ “loner-rock reflections,” he anticipates modest sales. “It’s poetry, so I know it’s not going to be a big seller, but my goal is to sell enough copies to buy a bike by the end of 2006,” he says. Dare to dream, man. Fight for Your Frequency’s cover features Video Pigeon’s Sue Westfield captured in a moment of indie-rock bliss. I’ve yet to read the book, but it certainly looks cool. You can check out Williams’ interestingly named website, http://www.fuckinrighthandman.com for more info.

GOODNIGHT, MOON Burlington’s Polynesian-themed bar and sometime music venue Kahiki Moon has closed its doors. According to an unnamed source, the establishment “couldn’t afford to keep going the way it was.” Resident DJs are reportedly scrambling to find other gigs, and some have expressed concern about getting their records out of the locked club. Why is it that when a venue shuts down, nobody makes a peep? Do owners think we aren’t gonna notice? As usual, I extend my sympathies to the jobless and gigless.

HONKY-TONK HEROES :: Vermont honky-tonk kings The Starline Rhythm

Boys know how to throw a party. This Friday, they’re joined by rockabilly guitar master Bill Kirchen at a benefit for the Cancer Patient Support Emergency Fund in the Sheraton Hotel’s Emerald Grand Ballroom. Kirchen, who Guitar Player Magazine called “the Titan of the Telecaster,” made his mark in the ’70s with Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen. Later work with Elvis Costello and Nick Lowe showed his versatility, and Johnny Cash and Junior Brown have been counted as fans. Special guests Elisabeth von Trapp and Louise Kirchen also join the fun. All proceeds go to CPS, so get down and do some good!

AUDREY RYAN, PASSING THRU

JEDI MIND TRICKS, LEGACY OF BLOOD (BabyGrande, CD)

(Self-released, CD)

On her debut album, Passing Thru, Cambridge, Massachusetts, export Audrey Ryan sifts through decades of musical influences in an attempt to create something unique and engaging. At times, she comes pretty close. Upon first listen, the disc sounds anything but formulaic. With its liberal use of jazz progressions, quick tempo shifts and a vast sea of musical influences, the album has myriad sounds and reflections. Ryan and co. combine folk, funk, jazz, Latin and soul in the course of 13 tracks — a pretty ambitious undertaking. Ryan is obviously a well-schooled musician, displaying versatility and efficiency on both guitar and violin. A seasoned singer, she slides through the diverse material with ease. But ultimately, her vocal acrobatics leave you feeling that you’ve heard it before, only more convincingly. From the start of the CD, it’s obvious that Ryan owes a massive debt to Joni Mitchell’s upper-register vocal melodies and penchant for musical eclecticism. Backing Ryan on the album is a band of technically impressive musicians. Casey Abrams supplies short, punchy bass lines that play off Peter Kelly’s agile kit work remarkably well. Al Marra’s distinctive vibraphone work nicely augments Ryan’s vocal inflections. By far the most interesting track on Passing Thru is “Watch,” which is powered by Abrams’ James Jamerson-style bass line. Littered with electronic textures, the tune is a big departure from the rest of the cuts on the record. It seems like the best fit for Ryan. While other compositions are good, her material is most engaging when injected with the odd chord change or rhythmic shift. As an emerging artist, Ryan still has plenty of time to develop a sound all her own. If she successfully reins in her obvious influences, chances are she’ll do just that. Catch Ryan this Wednesday at Nectar’s.

SCOTT TAYLOR

Philly hip-hop duo Jedi Mind Tricks are so self-contradictory, it’s tough to figure out exactly where they stand. They made a huge underground impact with their 2000 release Violent By Design, an album as vicious as its title suggests. The follow-up, Visions of Gandhi, bemoaned our era’s lack of peaceful leadership, and was described by MC Vinnie Paz as “a vision of hope.” Well, whatever cursory pacifism informed that record is completely absent on their latest disc, Legacy of Blood. Although Paz has claimed he’s pro-choice and anti-death penalty, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more intolerant polemic than on this disc. The MC spits hyper-violent rhymes over militant rhythms, suggesting spiritual enlightenment is best achieved through superior firepower. Homosexuals, Christians and the government are all targeted. Partner in crime Stoupe keeps the angry beats coming, dropping sinister samples and rifle-crack snare hits wherever he sees fit. It’s pretty odd to hear an obese white rapper spouting an agenda cribbed from the most radical wing of the Nation of Islam. You gotta wonder whether Paz’s verbal threats are just a pose — a way to stand out in an increasingly crowded playing field. “You don’t deserve to breathe, your brain’s thoughtless,” he says in the opening verses of “Sears of the Crucifix,” a self-righteous, paranoid attack on Islam’s enemies. “I civilize the savages / while you support gay marriages, evil demons and the Jesus of the Nazareth / I keep grenades in my pocket for the pacifists,” he continues. In addition to making Christians and progressives cringe, Jedi Mind Tricks also enjoy world history. “Saviorself” contains sharp-edged raps peppered with references to ancient Egypt, and even mentions the Roman emperor Tiberius. Fellow underground MC Killah Priest drops in for the second verse, delivering laid-back rhymes that nicely complement the track’s repetitive acoustic guitar sample. Unfortunately, the six-string motif sounds more flamenco than Middle Eastern. It’s easy to appreciate Jedi Mind Trick’s production and microphone skills, but if you’ve got any liberal leanings, the retrogressive message will get under your skin. Hip-hop has long used violence and indignation as dramatic devices, but the attitudes expressed on Legacy somehow ring false. Hear for yourself Thursday, April 7, at the Higher Ground Ballroom, when they play with Living Legends J-Live & Pigeon John.

Vermont Lineage

S EXHIBIT “Art of Achievement,” a group exhibit honoring 27 Vermont artists. T.W. Wood Gallery, Montpelier. Through April 17. Also at Gallerie@Opaline, Burlington, April 22 - May 31.

ARTWORK “Vermont Sunset Postcard” by Frank Hewitt

PHOTO Marc Awodey

ince 1964, the Vermont Arts Council has done its part to establish the Green Mountain State’s artsy reputation. The VAC’s programs are diverse, benefiting communities and organizations as well as individual artists. Its touring exhibition specifically honors 27 Vermont visual artists, living and late, who have received the council’s highest accolades: the Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts, Walter Cerf Awards for Lifetime Achievement in the Arts, and Citations of Merit, which are given to visual artists for “distinguished service.” “Art of Achievement” is currently installed at the T.W. Wood Gallery in Montpelier and will travel to Burlington’s Gallerie@Opaline later this month. In a nice gesture of egalitarianism, specific awards are not attached to the individual art works. A painting by someone who provided a distinguished service might be exhibited alongside one by an artist who has achieved national or international stature. That may explain why the quality varies somewhat. Although she is better known as a sculptor, Judith Brown (1932-1992) is represented here by “Dancer Trio with Draping,” a 20-by-27.5-inch ink-and-watercolor work on paper. Its fluid details are akin to those in her monumental scrap-metal series of figures, the “Lamentations Group,” which have appeared at the University of Vermont, the Flynndog and other venues. Brown’s three watercolor dancers are highly gestural and almost ghostlike. Crimson washes add life to the figures’ black-ink lines of varied weights. Another of Vermont’s best sculptors, Kate Pond, is represented by her 2-by-3-by-4-foot steel abstraction “From the Heart.” The work’s sweeping geometric shapes create a form that seems to float just above the floor. Nonobjective abstractions appear among the show’s paintings as well. “Vermont Sunset Postcard,” a painting on

paper by former UVM art professor Frank Hewitt (19361992), unifies geometric passages with splashy stain-painted elements. Its hues are translucent in some areas, while elsewhere the paper is left raw. The forms in Robert McBride’s “Looking Towards Morandi 2” seem somewhat more organic, but the paintings’ brighter, flatter colors reflect the intensity of Pop Art. The oil-on-canvas “Picnic” by Francis Colburn (19091984) depicts a family picnicking beside a lake. In a sophisticated play with space, Colburn created squares within the square of the picture plane. Graphic works by Luigi Lucioni (1900-1988) and Rockwell Kent (1882-1971) also represent earlier generations of Vermont artists. George Tooker’s lithograph “Mirror” is a surreal, 20-by-16-inch vanitas image of a young woman with a skull looking over her shoulder. Not surprisingly, “Art of Achievement” also includes pieces by contemporary printmakers Mary Azarian and Sabra Field. The latter’s 2003 woodcut “Church Interior” is of a beautifully described Ionian colonnade within a round church. Since at least the 1960s, Vermont ceramists have been in the forefront of their field. Malcolm Wright’s “Shino Bowl” is a delicate stoneware bowl, 15-and-a-half inches in diameter, with leaf patterns in its beige glaze. Karen Karnes’ untitled, salt-glazed stoneware vessels share Wright’s Japaneseinspired aesthetics. It could be argued that artistic stature has as much to do with luck and persistence as originality. Either way, all these artists have made valuable contributions to the state. In a different way, so has former Vermont Governor Phil Hoff. Elected in 1964, Hoff played a pivotal role in creating Vermont’s arts council; accordingly, when “Art of Achievement” travels to Burlington on April 22, there will be a dinner in his honor at the restaurant Opaline, as well as a sneak peek at the artworks downstairs. m

SHORTS

The Upside of Anger ★★★★

O MADLY IN LOVE Allen and Costner are united by unresolved issues and buried rage.

ne of many nice touches in The Upside of Anger is writerdirector Mike Binder’s casting of Kevin Costner as a boozy ex-baseball pitcher gone to seed. Much in the performance evokes Jack Nicholson’s turn as the boozy ex-astronaut gone to seed in Terms of Endearment, but there’s additional dimension here because Costner has portrayed ball players in various stages of their careers throughout his career on screen. From Bull Durham (1988) to Field of Dreams (1989) to For Love of the Game (1999), some of the actor’s best work has been on a baseball diamond. In For Love of the Game he played an over-the-hill pitcher throwing the last game of his professional life. The character he plays in his new film could be almost the same character picked up a few years down the road. Denny Davies was once a star pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. Unlike some of his more foresighted teammates, who managed to “pull car dealerships out of their asses,” he emerged from his most productive years poorly prepared for life as a middle-aged relic. He divides his time between hosting a local radio talk show and signing baseballs by the boxful for sale on the Internet. And drinking. Davies happens to drop by the suburban home of a neighbor one morning to pitch a plan for a subdivision; its developers have promised him one of the lots as commission. He’s looking for the man of the house, an old friend, and instead finds Joan Allen, who is holding a vodka drink and wearing her night attire. She informs him with a slight slur that her husband has disappeared, and she believes he’s run off with his Swedish secretary. Costner believes a vacuum has been created that he might enjoy filling. Allen is always highly watchable, and is in top form as Terry Wolfmeyer, a woman consumed and ultimately transformed by rage. The mother of four headstrong high school- and college-aged daughters, she is initially wary of Costner, but she’s curious. Her initial resistance to allowing Davies into their lives is worn down by a combination of goofball charm and strong drink.

The young women, played by Erika Christensen, Evan Rachel Wood, Keri Russell and Alicia Witt, do not approve of their mother’s drinking. They keep the household running and hope she’ll come out the other side of this terrible time in her life able to once again devote herself to them. In the meantime, they look after her — to the extent that she’ll let them. They do approve of Denny. The girls also have the smartest mouths I’ve heard on young female movie characters in some time. They’re a feisty and artfully developed bunch, each a completely distinct, wise-assed piece of work. Around them, Costner’s character initially is like a bear woozily shuffling out of his cave after a long winter and slowly adjusting to the light. In one wonderful scene, he just sits and listens to the five women who’ve suddenly become the center of his life as they throw their emotions around the dinner table. He hasn’t witnessed this much drama outside a World Series, and he can’t believe his good fortune at being invited into this lively new lineup. Shaking his head and grinning, the only words he can find are, “You’re all just so female!” Binder’s movie is sure to remind many viewers of James Brooks movies. It’s a comedy of manners; it has a colorful ensemble cast; themes shift between life’s sweetness and some of its bitterest stuff; and it contains dialogue as knowing and barbed as any in Terms, Broadcast News or As Good As It Gets. The Upside of Anger has an edge in certain places, that Brooks’ films tend to lack, however, and it springs a dark surprise toward the end that Brooks wouldn’t touch with a 10-foot pole. All in all, though, it’s a thoroughly engaging tribute to the transfiguring power of pain and disappointment, laced with laughs courtesy of barely functioning lushes à la Sideways. There isn’t a single unmemorable performance in the picture, including the one given by Binder himself in the role of a cradle-robbing sleazeball. If you’re in the mood for a well-told tale of dysfunction and discovery, seeing this film simply doesn’t have a downside. m

BEAUTY SHOP★★1/2 Queen Latifah and Alicia Silverstone are paired in this comedy about a hairstylist and shampoo girl who transform a rundown salon into the shop of their dreams. With Djimon Hounsou. Directed by Bille Woodruff. (105 min, PG-13) BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE★★1/2 Wayne (Smoke) Wang directs this family film about a young Florida girl who adopts an orphaned dog. Based on the bestseller by the same name. Starring Jeff Daniels, Cicely Tyson and Dave Matthews. (106 min, PG) BORN INTO BROTHELS★★★1/2 British-born photojournalist Zana Briski immersed herself in the culture of Calcutta’s red-light district and emerged with a powerful portrait of children growing up there. Codirected by Ross Kaufman. (85 min, R) BRIDE AND PREJUDICE★★★ The folks who gave us Bend It Like Beckham lavishly update Jane Austen’s classic love story and set it in modern-day India, London and America. Aishwarya Rai and Martin Henderson star. Gurinder Chadha directs.

SEVEN DAYS

JAMES’ JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Broken-Promise Land

An ultramodern shopping mall, where designer jeans look better than devotion to God, eclipses the land of milk and honey. Stephen Frears’ Dirty Pretty Things, have focused on the plight of those uprooted by economic or political misery. James’ Journey to Jerusalem — screening for free at 3 and 8 p.m. Saturday in Middlebury College’s Dana Auditorium — examines the plight of “illegals” in contemporary Israel. But the charismatic title character, played by Siyabonga Melongisi Shibe, has actually left South Africa to make a pilgrimage to the Promised Land as a religious tourist. He’s a black farmer slated to assume the role of pastor in his Zulu village. The trek

to Christianity’s holiest city is supposed to help prepare him for that job. The optimistic and naïve visitor hits the first of many hurdles when a Tel Aviv immigration officer challenges his intentions. “I know you came here to make money,” she suggests. Before being hauled away, the dashiki-clad James asks her in wonderment: “Are you a Hebrew woman?” She is, but first-time director Ra’anan Alexandrowicz offers a sharp critique of how the so-called Chosen People have traded socialist and spiritual ideals for material comfort. His target: the dark underbelly of capitalism, as symbolized by undocumented workers clandestinely fueling the engine that drives industrialized nations. Imprisoned with fellow detainees from places such as Manila and Bucharest, James thinks his prayers have been answered when an Israeli businessman named Shimi (Salim Daw) pays his bail. This savior, however, runs an off-the-books employment service. The protagonist can only get out of debt by toiling at various menial jobs. He’s housed in squalid barracks with similarly indentured servants. Unable to go home because the boss holds his passport, James tries to make the best of this multicultural trap. After washing dishes and scrubbing toilets, he is upgraded to the role of houseboy for Shimi’s elderly father, Sallah (Arie Elias). While also exploiting the slave-master relationship, the

old curmudgeon warns James against remaining a “frayer,” the Yiddish word for sucker. James takes the advice to heart and begins to think up devious ways to increase his earnings. He succumbs to the temptation of immediate gratification. His dreams, once noble, are now ordinary. An ultramodern shopping mall, where designer jeans look better than devotion to God, eclipses the land of milk and honey. As a smooth operator, he is now more inspired by cash than Christ. Jerusalem? Maybe later. In a sense, the young man’s psychological journey has just begun. This compelling, 87-minute film is framed by African mythology about an idyllic Zion, depicted in the opening scene with music and folk art. The fable is quickly shattered by the bitter reality of 21st-century Israeli society. Oddly, though, no Arabs are seen or even mentioned. Perhaps Alexandrowicz, who co-wrote the script, felt he could only tackle the thorny topic of invisible foreigners by completely avoiding the in-your-face conflict that regularly confronts Jews in the Middle East. Consequently, there’s a proverbial elephant in the room.

In the last few years, Israel launched a “strategic goal” of phasing out its cheap-labor workforce of more than 150,000 Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza. Many of them return as “illegal transients,” sneaking across the barrier erected in 2002 to find jobs within the country’s shadow economy. If caught, these “frayers” are jailed, fined and deported. James’ Journey could have dramatized this parallel dilemma without derailing the narrative. Another layer of complexity would tell a more complete story of what it means to live like a wretched refugee on any teeming shore. The Lake Placid Film Festival normally takes place in early June, but the sixth annual edition is scheduled for June 23 to 26. Co-founded by novelist Russell Banks, the event typically hosts noted writers whose books have been adapted for the big screen, such as John Irving, Michael Ondaatje and Elmore Leonard. No 2005 luminaries have been announced yet — in fact, the website at http://www.lakeplacidfilmfestival.com is still under construction. First we have to get through mud season. m

fickle fannie BY DAVID DIEFENDORF

READ THIS FIRST:

This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.

No one will ever fathom the wayward ways of LOVE. Even those who LIKE us will one day turn away. NITROGLYCERIN has a good side and a bad side. You can EITHER cut bait or get off the commode. Time HEALS most wounds, but it can’t heal rejection. Those who become nurses have generous HEARTS. Homonyms for OR are ore, oar and o’er, but ower is pushing it. Life sucks, love bites and death BLOWS. If you have guinea pigs, try to treat THEM with respect. APART from used toiletries, goats will eat anything. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS A QUOTABLE QUOTE. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 55A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

FICKLE FANNIE HINT: Take the long view.

n the late 1800s, Emma Lazarus’ inscription for the Statue of Liberty welcomed the tired, poor, homeless, huddled masses then arriving primarily from Europe. Today “the wretched refuse of your teeming shore” hails from all over the globe, and America is no longer necessarily the prime destination. Prosperous countries everywhere are coping with an influx of refugees. Recent films, such as Michael Winterbottom’s In This World and

SUN.10 - TUE.12

BALI HIGH

Generations of jungle-journeying field recorders have traveled to tape the unique sound of gamelan — Indonesian orchestras made up of metal xylophones, drums and gongs. But you don’t have to be an ethnologist to appreciate a performance by Çudamani. Based in a small Bali village, the world-touring dance troupe includes an 18member gamelan ensemble and a posse of performers wearing intricate costumes. Goldplated armbands, rich brocades and towering, flower-wreathed headdresses set the scene for mythological tales of gods, heroes and spirits. Since the show evokes ancient Hindu-Buddhist traditions, it’s only fitting that each dancer’s body is decorated like a temple.

ÇUDAMANI Sunday, April 10, preperformance talk, Tarrant Gallery, Flynn Center, Burlington, 5:30 p.m. Free. Performance, Flynn MainStage, 7 p.m. $20-34. Info, 863-5966. Tuesday, April 12, pre-performance talk, Faculty Lounge, Hopkins Center, Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H., 6 p.m. Free. Performance, Spaulding Auditorium, Hopkins Center, 7 p.m. $26.

SEVEN DAYS

<calendar > scene@LORE CON BEST WESTERN HOTEL, SOUTH BURLINGTON, SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 7:30 P.M. I can claim a modicum of geek cred via a mid-’80s Atari fascination and a rained-out summer spent at camp playing Dungeons & Dragons. I’d never been to a gaming convention, though, so I wasn’t sure what to expect from the hardcore crowd who regularly use “gameâ€? as a verb. When the organizers of a Burlington-based Japanese animation festival inaugurated Lore Con this weekend, more than 100 playful people from QuĂŠbec and New England came to, well, get their game on. Stepping into the Best Western’s Conference Center, I headed straight for the large, 8-by-10-foot platform where a Playmobil pirate battle was scheduled to take place, but it wasn’t quite set up yet. In four other rooms, black-clad gamers were gathered around tables, chatting between rounds of arcane card set-ups, board games and role-playing scenarios. The gender breakdown proved that ladies can find their way around a character sheet: About one-third of both the conference staff and attendees were female. There were lots of activities to choose from, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. The folks at the registration table even brought cookies to share. Back in the lounge, 10 players ranging in age from 8 to fiftysomething finished tricking out their foot-long cutters for a miniature sea melĂŠe. A huge black “ghost shipâ€? dominated the scene, with a 40member skeleton crew scavenged on eBay from Lego sets and Halloween toys. One gentleman had gone the extra nautical mile — he, too, was dressed all in black, but with lace-up pirate boots and what looked like a Renaissance-style sea captain’s vest made of black brocade. Game master Laban Tatro explained the rules and interpreted dice rolls to figure out wind speed and cannonball trajectories. Although a treasure-filled fort was the main target, every vessel made a general practice of game-moderated ramming and shooting, boarding and looting. “Yarrr harrr!â€? What exuberantly nerdy fun. MEGHAN DEWALD

LET’S MOTOR

Fifty dollars used to go a long way. In 1903, a bet for that amount brought Burlington native Horatio Jackson home from San Francisco in a Winton “horseless carriage.” He brought along his goggle-sporting dog, a bicycle repairman and the fond hope that he’d be the first person to cross the country by car. His wager called for him to make it to New York in less than three months, even though there were no paved roads. And he made it. Preservation Burlington screens Ken Burns’ documentary of Jackson’s trip, and re-enactors play out his triumphant entrance to the city. Then a classic car aficionado displays a century-old Winton, and talks up automotive history before 1903.

WEIRD SCIENCE

The Aquila Theatre Company specializes in stage adaptions of great literary works. A current production takes on science fiction through H.G. Wells’ novel The Invisible Man. Set in Victorian England, the play follows an ambition-addled scientist obsessed with making himself scarce. Secret experiments do end up rendering the young man invisible, but as the plot unfolds, his success proves more curse than blessing. The talented cast uses ingenious devices to convey unseen presences. And they’re versatile, too – Aquila also wakes up Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night on April 10.

‘THE INVISIBLE MAN’ Tuesday, April 12, McCarthy Arts Center, St. Michael’s College, Colchester, 7:30 p.m. $27. Info, 863-5966.

MADE IN JAPAN

Miyuki Sugimori is a master at her physically demanding art, which she has practiced intensively for years. But she isn’t a kendo teacher, a karate black belt or even a Zen archery sharp-shooter. Sugimori-san’s specialty is amezaiku — candy-sculpting. Although her elaborately lifelike animals and gossamer flowers definitely hail from the land of the rising fun, the candy-maker comes to the Green Mountains from the Epcot Center’s Japanese Pavilion, in sunny Florida. The Japan-America Society of Vermont welcomes her as part of its biennial festival of all things Nihon, where there’s still lots to do even if you don’t have a sweet tooth.

APRIL 06-13

ARIES

(March 21-Apr. 19): “Some people weave burlap into the fabric of our lives, and some weave gold thread,” says Cosmo Doogood in his Urban Alamanc. “Both contribute to make the whole picture beautiful and unique.” I would add that there are certain people who on some occasions weave burlap into the fabric of our lives, and at other times weave gold thread. You are such a person, Aries. At this particular moment, though, you’re in one of your goldthread phases. Honor your natural tendencies, please. Save your rougher gifts for later so you can concentrate on giving your grace and beauty now.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Green Day recently won a Grammy for best rock album, but their future was in doubt a few years ago. The band’s three members weren’t getting along, record sales were declining, and they no longer felt aligned with the bratty punk attitude that had originally been the core of their identity. They tried a variety of experiments to shake themselves out of their funk. Their best idea was to rebel against their signature style by recording a bunch of silly songs like polka ditties and dirty Christmas carols. A similar approach would be a good prescription for you right now, Taurus. Whether you’re suffering from a mental block or emotional constipation, one possible cure is to play at being what you’re not.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): “Always and never are two words you should always remember never to use,” said semanticist Wendell Johnson. Though I almost always agree with his advice, I have to make an exception for you Geminis this week. This may be one of the most bigger-thanlife, no-strings-attached interludes in many moons. Even the ordinary could become epic; the last might become first and vice versa. In the midst of blockbuster special effects and melodramatic plot twists, you might find that invocations of “always” and “never” are downright reasonable.

described as a barren wasteland, you yourself are a warm, nurturing source of fertility. No matter how inhospitable it might get outside of your circle in the next two weeks, you should just keep growing.

have superpowers,” the bumper sticker says, “but my therapist took them away.” Does that describe you? Have you been overly normalized by the bland conventions of what constitutes psychological health? Has your spunk been sapped by the pressure to behave yourself in a civilized manner? If so, I have two bits of advice. They’ll have a sickening effect if you apply them too liberally, but they’ll be a wonderful tonic if you use them in small doses. First, here’s some medicine from Thoreau: “Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.” Now try this inoculation by Rumi (as translated by Coleman Barks): “Forget safety./ Live where you fear to live./ Destroy your reputation./ Be notorious./ I have tried prudent planning/ long enough./ From now/ on, I’ll be mad.”

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When people need a major alibi to get out of work or explain their absence from an event they’re expected to attend, one of the most frequently used excuses is “I had to go to my grandmother’s funeral.” While I’m definitely not predicting your grandmother will die this week, I am prophesying that you’ll need an equally plausible reason to skip out on an unexciting task in order to enjoy a very pleasant adventure. A good surprise is coming, Libra, and you should do whatever it takes to make sure that a previously scheduled duty doesn’t get in the way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): There are a number

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Inmates at

of organizations whose specialty is dreaming up new holidays. With their inventions added to the old standards, you now have the chance to goof off as you celebrate something or other on every single day of the year. I’ll mention a few upcoming festivals that are perfect for you and your astrological needs. First there’s No Housework Day on April 7. Avoid all humdrum domestic chores during that 24-hour period, and don’t feel a trace of guilt. April 8 brings Take a Wild Guess Day, when you should entertain sudden inspirations and out-of-the-blue hunches. April 9 is Rebel Awgainst Your Past Day. Refuse to be controlled by what you used to be. On April 10, observe Fantastic Fantasy Day, a time when you should let your imagination run wild. April 11 is Wear Someone Else’s Clothes Day, and April 12 is Be Big and Loud Day.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Though much of Iceland is covered with snow, glaciers and lava plateaus, the town of Hveragerdi is graced with greenhouses where geothermal energy is harnessed to grow bananas. You remind me of this oasis, Virgo. Though you’re surrounded by what might be

10:19 AM

LIBRA

a penitentiary in Washington have created The Convict Cookbook. Normal prison fare gets pretty boring, so they’ve improvised recipes that can be cooked in a jail cell using radiator pipes instead of a stove and plastic bags in place of bowls. Proceeds from the book’s sale go to a children’s museum. Judging from your temporary astrological omens, Scorpio, I think The Convict Cookbook could serve as an inspiration. While you’re in nowhere near as tight a spot as those criminals, your style has definitely been getting cramped lately. Why not have fun while you’re indisposed? Maybe you can even turn a profit and contribute to a good cause as you do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): English poet William Wordsworth said, “Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings.” By that definition, Sagittarius, you’ll be a fount of poetry this week. For best results, though, don’t immediately translate those spontaneous feelings into action. Let them have their way with you for a while before you decide what they all mean. It’s one of those frothy, dazzling times when you have no more important task than to honor your emotional riches with your reverent, patient attention.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Anne Sullivan (1866-1936) was a miracle worker who taught the deaf, dumb and blind child Helen Keller how to communicate. Through Sulllivan’s efforts, Keller grew up to become a renowned author and public speaker dedicated to social reform. I believe most of us are visited at least once in our lives by our own version of Anne Sullivan — a teacher who offers us dramatic help in overcoming our limitations. For you, Aquarius, 2005 could bring the arrival of such a person. Will you respond or will you turn away, retreating to your comfortable ignorance? What happens in the coming weeks may be crucial in answering that question.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): I came across an interesting meditation in a New Yorker analysis of the film The Assassination of Richard Nixon. Describing the main character, Sam Byck, played by Sean Penn, the reviewer observed, “Sam wants to be treated as an individual. But, living in a competitive and utilitarian society, he doesn’t have sufficient talent to be treated as an individual.” Do you agree with this statement, Pisces? Is it your belief that the more talented a person is, the more deserving he or she is of being treated as an individual? Think it through thoroughly. In the coming week, you’ll be dealing with variations on this theme, and how you respond could have a big impact on your ability to express your own talents.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Mahatma Gandhi said, “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” You are maybe as close as you’ve ever been to achieving that mythical state. I’m tempted to say that there’s a cosmic conspiracy working to unify elements of your life that have long been at odds. Fragments are weaving themselves together as if directed by a power that’s beyond your conscious awareness. Contradictions that have at times threatened to make you feel like a hypocrite are tantalizingly close to melting away. I urge you to drop everything, Capricorn, so that you may give yourself fully to an intense collaboration with this cosmic conspiracy.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, “Gary” and I have been married for two years. We get along really well in most respects. When it comes to how we spend our free time, though, we have some serious disagreements. All my life, I’ve enjoyed hanging out with friends, and I’ve tried to maintain these ties. But Gary is a loner, and he objects when I see other people. He says that since I have him, I shouldn’t need anyone else. Am I wrong to miss shopping with my girlfriends, or bar-hopping with my male buddies? Shut Out in Shelburne Dear Shut Out, In most marriages, outside friends — as long as they are just friends — can be a boon. Since no spouse can possibly meet all one’s needs, other relationships that fill those gaps can reduce resentment and raise satisfaction, making you more receptive to your mate. However, since Gary doesn’t share your social style, he sees it as a threat. He needs to understand that enjoying your friends’ company can actually help you enjoy him more. And you need to understand how your activities look to Gary. For example, the next time you go bar-hopping, how about inviting Gary along? Love, Lola
