TAKING OFF WITH...

KIERAN T. DONNELLY

If I weren’t a Realtor, I would want to be… a downhill ski racer.

One book everyone should read is... 1984 by George Orwell.

My favorite Vermont restaurant is... Shanty on the Shore.

My favorite movie of all time is… It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

One thing people are surprised to find out about me is… I am deathly afraid of heights. The last concert I went to was... my son’s piano recital. If I could have dinner with any famous person, dead or alive, I would choose… Warren Buffett. Something I would like to do, but haven’t had the chance... bring my three kids to Hawaii.

As a Realtor, I think that it’s important to… treat people the way I want to be treated. Before I was a Realtor, one of my interesting jobs was... Dockmaster at Capri Marina. One thing people are surprised to find out about me is... I am deathly afraid of heights.

weeklypost The best of the Vermont blogosphere COMPILED BY CATHY RESMER

Blog: Candleblog

TRANS ACTIONS My compliments to Seven Days for its commitment to openness. Cathy Resmer’s superb article [“Difficult Transitions,” August 16] should be an awakening for all. Trans people face many challenges in trying to conduct their lives. Most want to go about their life without fanfare or trouble, neither bothering anybody nor being bothered. Unfortunately, as the article so poignantly illustrated, this is not very often the case. It is one thing to live with the snickers, smiles, chuckles and finger pointing that go on every day. It is entirely another matter to be subjected to the treatment that “Michael” had to endure at the hands of a non-caring staff member of Fletcher Allen. Neither should be accepted behavior. Until gender expression is acceptable, none of us can be accepted. I am an openly transgendered woman and a threat to no one. I am different, as most people are different, but not dangerous, as most aren’t dangerous, either. Francine Hill

THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO (ING TO ANNOY ME) So I guess the Vermont Air National Guard is celebrating their 60th anniversary this weekend by having the Air Force Thunderbirds do a little air show. How do I know this? Their F16s are presently buzzing about the skies just over my head in little formations of 4 and 5 planes. They’ve been doing this each afternoon for the last three days and I’ll admit, the first day it was kind of cool, even though it happened in the middle of a VCAM production and the fighters are VERY LOUD. Now I’m over it, and I’m getting annoyed. These planes fly maybe 100 feet over the VCAM studio and are extremely loud. And it’s not a gradual build up of noise — it’s sudden and explosive. We’re a production studio and as such we’re pretty sensitive to outside noise. You know, because we use microphones and stuff. These fighters are interrupting us every time they fly over head, which happens about once per minute for a period of an hour or so for the last three afternoons. I’m about ready to call the Burlington police and lodge a noise complaint against the Air Force. I get it, you’re doing an air show this weekend. You fly around in tight formation. It’s very impressive. Now please go away. Posted August 18 by Bill Simmon

MIND-BODY PROBLEM I am writing in regard to the article “Difficult Transitions” [August 16]. It was such a poignant piece, and one that should help make aware to all that “Michael” is going through a most difficult time in his life. He is, unlike many others,

“MY KNEE DOESN’T HURT ANYMORE WHEN I HIKE.” “If I had gotten nothing more from Rolfing, and I did, that alone would have been worth it.” — Donna Bepler, Burlington

lived its meaning, and a new and more applicable term is now beginning to be used: Harry Benjamin Syndrome, HBS. It should be understood that many transgender people consider it a right to choose the treatment for their condition. But the fact is that those who really are transsexual do not choose what they are, it is a result of a mistake in the womb, which of course is a birth anomaly, an act of nature . . . not a choice but an intersex condition, since the brain gender is opposite to the birth physical sex. We simply need to correct a biological error and go on with our lives in the sex our brains dictated from birth. Many countries have given legal recognition to those who have had surgery, and allow them to not only obtain corrective changes in their documentation but in all ways to live as their corrected sex. Ironically, Iran is one of them. Wish all of the states in our country were so understanding in applying the same standards — not special privilege, but a legal right to be what was meant to be as the person we are. I only hope that Michael will live a full and wholesome life as the man he was born to be. I also pray he will not suffer as many of us have because of the confusion that so many in society seem to have about us. Diane Logan BURLINGTON

blessed with having such a supportive family to ease his transition. I wish all going through this turmoil had a mother as supportive as Coralyn Guidry. Michael is so very lucky to have her by his side, along with the others in his family who have stood by him. I do take issue, though, with the reference in the article using the term transgender. Michael is a transsexual. But we prefer to describe him as a person born with Harry Benjamin Syndrome, HBS. For more info, please go to: www.harry benjaminsyndrome-info.org/. I too was born with this syndrome, and over 33 years ago had corrective surgery, SAS. I was always mentally a woman and became physically so. I am also happily married to my husband for 22 years this month. I have had a wonderful, functional and productive life, and only because I was able to be whole and not fragmented. When I transitioned there was no term transgender. I was diagnosed as a transsexual — period! For whatever reason the term transgender (a term coined by a transvestite) later became an umbrella label for all gender variants, and wrongly placed transsexualism as a sub-set. That is a travesty, for it truly confuses what and who we really are. Transsexual also seems to have become a popular porn term of late, and also a magnet for sex solicitors. It has out-

BAD ADS I picked up Seven Days’ “Daysies” issue [August 2] and was really, really disappointed that you would run such misogynistic ads by Lewis Motors. I don’t care how much business they give you, those ads are a slap in the face to all your women readers (which are twothirds of your audience and highly educated, as your media kit states). Shame on you, Seven Days. You’ve lost my respect. Paula Chetti ESSEX

FRANK CRITICISM Pamela Polston concludes her review of the St. Michael’s Playhouse production, My Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra [“Frankly Speaking,” August 9], by advising Sinatra purists to stay home. I wish Polston had stayed home. The task of art is to creatively characterize, not replicate, reality. There was only one Sinatra. A tribute should build on his extraordinary talent. The David Grapes and Todd Olsen score and script do exactly that. The St.

Michael’s performance was flawless. A pox on Pamela’s review! Edwin Granai BURLINGTON

HOT TOPIC Our choices in the upcoming election can have a positive effect on U.S. energy policy and global warming [“Inside Track,” August 16]. Martha Rainville’s position on global warming is horrendous. She claims it’s a matter of belief (and she doesn’t believe). Global warming is a matter of science, and I’m

sick to death of those who think they know more than the thousands of scientists who have nearly unanimously concluded that human greenhouse gas emissions are the major driver of global warming. I’ll support Peter Welch, who gets it on global warming, even if it hurts to vote for a liberal. Richard Tarrant has contributed no substance to the energy debate, while Bernie wants to declare war on global warming. Easy choice again. The outcomes of these races are in little doubt, so it would seem that the winners will represent the sane concerns of Vermonters about global warming, but will that be enough? Bernie Sanders is one of 40 cosponsors of the New Apollo energy bill, which contains some good ideas but puts too much serious action off to the far future, when supposedly solar, fusion and tidal sources will generate our electricity and hydrogen cars provide our transportation. We don’t have the time to wait for futuristic answers. The French live in a modern industrial society but produce 1.69 tons of CO2 per person per year, compared with the U.S. figure of 5.37. The French generate nearly 100 percent of their electricity with nuclear reactors and make it very expensive to drive. Over the next 25 years we need to do similar things, although we can substitute hydro and wind generation for

some of the nuclear power. What is needed is the political will to take these actions. Bernie Sanders and Peter Welch must take that message with them to Congress if they really want to declare war on global warming today. Ian Robertson WOLCOTT

BERNIE’S RECORD Comes now U.S. Senate candidate Richard Tarrant — the cost-cutting crusader — who claims that Bernie Sanders hasn’t spent enough on intelligence [“Inside Track,” August 16]. He is wrong. Bernie has consistently supported strong intelligence budgets and reform. Beyond that, the independent 9/11 Commission Report stated that the intelligence failures surrounding 9/11 were not ones of funding but of inefficiency and poor coordination, something Bernie Sanders has fought to correct. As our young soldiers die for no reason in the Middle East, Mr. Tarrant should use the precious time before the election to tell us why we should vote for him and his strict adherence to a political party that, in six short years, has left us with egregious debt, endless war, international disgrace and a tattered Constitution. I can’t imagine any scenario where Tarrant speaks for me or would work for the betterment of Vermont. John D. Wagner MONTPELIER

With Jeffords’ Help, Same-Sex Couples Gain New Tax Benefits BY KEVIN J. KELLEY

~ fine designer bridalwear ~

Sewly Yours

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Gay-rights advocates are hailing the decisive role played by Sen. James Jeffords in last week’s enactment of the first-ever change in the U.S. tax code helpful to same-sex couples. “Non-spousal beneficiaries,” including same-sex partners, will now be able to transfer inherited

weren’t only certain, but were also times of great and unequal financial difficulty,” says a statement by Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign. The rollover and hardship provisions included in the Pension Protection Act represent “an incredibly exciting victory that will be helpful to millions of

retirement savings into their own retirement accounts without immediately having to pay taxes. The new law also allows individuals to use their retirement plans to respond to certain medical or financial emergencies affecting a designated beneficiary, including a same-sex partner. Previously, these so-called “rollover” and “hardship” benefits were available only to legally recognized spouses or dependents. The newly achieved reforms could result in hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax savings and emergency assistance for a same-sex partner. “For gay couples and all Americans with non-spouse beneficiaries, death and taxes

gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender families,” adds the head of the nation’s largest GLBT rights organization. The landmark initiatives might still be languishing in congressional committees if not for Jeffords’ efforts. Four years ago, the Vermont Independent became the first senator to introduce a proposal permitting the tax-free rollover of a pension plan to a beneficiary other than a husband or wife, notes James Delaplane, a counsel to the Human Rights Campaign on pension issues. He says Jeffords worked effectively and patiently to muster support for a piece of legislation that some of his colleagues were initially unwilling to

of an omnibus pension regulation overhaul that enjoyed broad bipartisan backing. The 907-page law “fixes tax problems for millions of heterosexuals, too,” Delaplane observes. The legislation was approved in the House by a 294-132 vote and in the Senate by a 97-2 margin. Jeffords’ work in steering the equal-rights measures through the Senate crowns a 32-year Capitol Hill career notable in part for its devotion to fairness to all families. “No matter what his political affiliation — Republican or Independent — Sen. Jeffords always led fights for pro-equality legislation,” says Human Rights Campaign spokesman Brad Luna. “It will be a legacy of his.” m

Algerian Refugee Speaks on Challenges Facing Asylum Seekers BY CATHY RESMER

BURLINGTON — As the United States cracks down on immigration in the name of national security, Emma Lazarus’ words on the Statue of Liberty — “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free . . .” — are becoming ironic. At least they must seem so to Mohamed Cherfi, a 37-year-old native of Algeria living in Burlington. The United States now considers the Muslim man a refugee, but for 18 months the government kept him locked in a jail cell near Buffalo, New York, as authorities processed his case. “We were separated from the other prisoners,” Cherfi says in halting English, “but the rules were the same. It’s very strict for people who have only immigration problems.” Cherfi will share his story on Thursday, August 24, at 7 p.m. during a public discussion — entitled “In Freedom’s Shadow: Asylum Seekers in Post 9/11 America” — at the Valley Players Theater in Waitsfield, sponsored by the Green Mountain Global Forum. He’ll be joined by Patrick Giantonio and Michelle Jenness from Vermont Refugee Assistance, a nonprofit that helps immigrants obtain refugee status in the United States and Canada.

They say Cherfi is just one of hundreds of asylum seekers who live in immigration limbo, trapped in a bureaucratic system that has only gotten more complicated in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Cherfi’s saga began when he fled Algeria in 1998 to avoid being drafted to fight in the country’s civil war. A former French teacher, he came to the U.S. on a visa and made his way to Canada. He settled in Québec, but was denied refugee status by a Canadian judge in 1999. At the time, the Canadian government had a moratorium on deporting Algerians because of violence in the country; they lifted the ban in 2002, despite protests from human rights groups. To avoid being deported, Cherfi and a group of roughly 1000 other Algerians organized an activist group to publicize their plight. For the most part, this tactic worked. Cherfi says 92 percent of the Algerians were eventually granted refugee status in Canada. But Cherfi, the group’s spokesman, was arrested four times while protesting Canadian policy. In February 2004, Canadian police apprehended

him and deported him to the U.S. Because of his arrests, the U.S. authorities declared Cherfi a flight risk and put him behind bars while deciding whether to allow him to stay in the country. “I never thought that one day I would be detained for 18 months for such a small thing,” he reflects. He says he can’t understand why he would be imprisoned here, not knowing when he would be released, or if he would be allowed to stay. “Maybe my name,” he offers, “maybe my origin, maybe my religion?

“Project Hot Seat” Targets State’s Congressional Candidates

LOCAL “PROJECT HOT SEAT” ORGANIZER REBECCA SOBEL

VERMONT — Sugar makers are tapping their maple trees as early as February. The state’s ski resorts are experiencing 15 percent less snow than they did in the 1950s, forcing them to make more artificial snow. Farmers across the state are struggling to survive because record rains are causing their crops to rot in the fields. Global warming is real, it’s here, and it’s hitting Vermonters hard. And now, activists from around the state say they intend to hold Vermont’s congressional candidates’ feet to the fire to do something about it. That was the message last week as “Project Hot Seat” kicked off its campaign to make global warming a hot-button issue in the November general election. Project Hot Seat, a Burlington-based grassroots effort launched with support from the international environmental group Greenpeace, is looking to “cultivate a champion in Vermont in the fight against global warming,” according to organizer Rebecca Sobel. Vermont is one of six congressional districts around the country being targeted by Greenpeace because it’s considered a hotly contested race with no clear frontrunner, Sobel explains. Vermont is also a district where citizens have traditionally shown strong voter preferences on environmental issues, and where the candidates’ differing positions on global climate change could be enough to sway undecided voters. Project Hot Seat campaigns are also being waged in Seattle, Washington; Denver, Colorado; West Palm Beach/Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Bucks County, Pennsylvania; and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. “We believe it’s the issue of our time, and we know we only have a decade or so to seriously halt the extreme effects of global warming before it’s too late,” says Sobel, who spoke from her Burlington office at the eco-friendly consumer-products company Seventh Generation. Company President and CEO Jeffrey Hollender sits on the board of Greenpeace USA and has donated office space for the Project Hot Seat campaign. Last week, about 35 activists from around the state held demonstrations outside the campaign headquarters of both Democrat

Peter Welch and Republican Martha Rainville to voice their concerns on this issue. Among them were David Zuckerman, chair of the House Agriculture Committee; Bryant Watson, executive director of the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers (VAST); and Burr Morse, a seventh-generation sugar maker from Montpelier. About a halfdozen others carried banners or wore maple tree costumes to highlight the state’s dwindling maple tree population.

headquarters. A campaign press release describing Rainville’s “National Energy Plan” doesn’t specifically address global warming; the Republican candidate does support more domestic offshore production of fossil fuels as a way to reduce America’s dependence on foreign sources. On her website, Rainville also calls for increasing nationwide conservation programs, encouraging the production of alternative fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel, and

Vermont is one of six congressional districts around the country being targeted by Greenpeace because it’s considered a hotly contested race with no clear frontrunner. By now, scientific evidence overwhelmingly concurs that the Earth’s temperature is steadily rising. A study done last year by the Climate Change Research Institute at the University of New Hampshire found that between 1970 and 2000, the average winter temperature in the Northeast rose by 4.4 degrees. Vermont’s winters have also grown shorter by about two weeks since the 1950s, with a 15-percent decline in snow levels and a concomitant increase in rainfall, according to the Vermont Public Interest Research Group. Peter Welch wasn’t in Burlington when the activists showed up at his office last week. However, campaign Communications Director Andrew Savage highlighted some of the candidate’s positions on the issue. Among them, Welch is calling for an “Apollo-like project for the 21st century” to address global warming. He also supports increasing fuel-efficiency standards on all new cars and trucks, tax incentives for “green” businesses, and shifting federal subsidies and tax cuts from oil and natural gas production to renewable energy and alternativefuel sources. Next, Project Hot Seat moved on to Martha Rainville’s Williston

mandating that government fleet vehicles use flex-fuel or hybrid technologies. Sobel of Project Hot Seat says she and other Vermonters will keep the heat on Rainville and Welch to ensure that this issue doesn’t get pushed to the back burner. And although Greenpeace has earned a reputation for engaging in dramatic and high-profile demonstrations on behalf of environmental issues — from interdicting commercial whaling vessels on the high seas to hanging anti-logging banners in oldgrowth forests — Sobel says this campaign likely won’t result in any arrests. “Are we going to be rappelling from buildings? No,” she says. Project Hot Seat is helping to organize a five-day citizens’ march from Ripton to Burlington over the Labor Day weekend. The 49mile walk will feature nightly community discussions with author and activist Bill McKibben in the village greens in Middlebury, Vergennes and Charlotte, and at Shelburne Farms and Burlington’s City Hall Park. Several hundred people are expected to participate in the final Shelburne-to-Burlington leg of the walk. m

VOLUNTEER GRAFFITI REMOVERS ABBY RUSSELL (LEFT) AND ITA MENO PHOTO: MATTHEW THORSEN

BURLINGTON — Ben Pacy is fed up with Burlington’s graffiti problem. The superintendent of park operations for the Parks & Recreation Department isn’t sure how much time and money his staff spends cleaning up the stuff, but it’s a lot. “Almost seven days a week we’re abating graffiti,” Pacy says. “It ranges from a few Magic Markers on signs to all four sides of a stone building.” Almost once a week, Pacy notes, he sends a crew to paint over fresh graffiti on the bridge abutment on the Beltline — though, technically, maintenance

I don’t differentiate between this and smashing light fixtures. BEN PACY, BURLINGTON PARKS & REC

of the highway isn’t his department’s responsibility. In one summer, the tennis hitting wall in Callahan Park had to be repainted 17 times because graffiti vandals — don’t even think of calling them “artists” in Pacy’s presence — kept tagging it. “I don’t differentiate between this and smashing light fixtures,” he says. “I think that as a community, there needs to be zero tolerance for this. People need to put leashes on their kids when they go into the hardware store, and the stores need to be more vigilant about not selling spray paint to people that are questionable in use.” Some graffiti are relatively easy to get rid of, such as markers on metal signs, Pacy explains. Much more difficult and expensive to remove is spray paint on porous materials such as brick or stone, which requires sandblasting, high-pressure sprayers and/or sophisticated chemical applications. But those techniques can also cause permanent damage to historic structures and can make those materials more permeable to the elements. Stone sealants can be applied to resist graffiti, but those, too, are costly. Nevertheless, Pacy says his department intends to remain vigilant about addressing the problem as soon as it occurs. As Malcolm Gladwell points out in his book The Tipping Point, graffiti that are left unaddressed can trigger a “social epidemic” of other, more serious crimes. The Burlington Police Department doesn’t compile statistics on the incidence of graffiti in the city — currently, its computer database lumps tagging in with other forms of vandalism. However, BPD’s Mike Schirling says the problem tends to ebb and flow; not surprisingly, it’s more common during the summer months when kids aren’t in school. There’s no indication yet that the uptick in graffiti around town is gang-related, Schirling adds. Likewise, a recent report of a small swastika painted on the back of the brick pumping station on Pine Street appears to have been an isolated incident. “This is more juvenile bravado,” Schirling sug-

2x5-Niccos081606

gests. “It’s not like big cities where gangs are marking territory with tags. Here, it’s kids trying to emulate what gangs do in big cities.” Schirling also points out that it’s not just a Burlington problem — towns throughout Chittenden County have struggled to stay on top of the tagging. Recently, the New North End was hit by a person or group who scrawled the word “cretins” on streets, road signs and parked cars. There have been a few arrests this summer for graffiti, though none related to those incidents. Burlington’s Community Justice Center has a volunteer graffiti-removal team that was out last week cleaning up some fresh markings. In addition, the city maintains a database of graffiti tags to document where the problem is occurring, and to help identify perpetrators. The city also has an “adopt-ablock” program, in which community members can get a free graffiti-removal kit and organize regular cleanups. The kits cost the city about $30 to $40 apiece. Pacy would prefer to see more deterrence in the form of stiffer penalties for those who get caught red-handed. “It’s my opinion — and I could be wrong about this — the penalty doesn’t fit the crime,” he says. “It’s not just the cost of the paint and the chemicals. It’s the time we could be spending doing something else.” m

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

Tarrant Gets Desperate

R

epublican U.S. Senate Candidate Rich Tarrant effectively threw in the towel this week. Alas, it’s over! So, sadly, with zero percent of Vermont election precincts reporting, “Inside Track” declares Independent U.S. Rep. Bernie Sanders the winner and Vermont’s next and newest United States Senator! Yes, we could have done it sooner, but heck, we wanted to see what a political novice like Tarrant gets for $5 million — which for Richie, the ex-IDX software gazillionaire, is merely chump change. And what his personal wealth got him this week is a massive TV-radio-print advertising campaign that portrays Congressman Sanders, one of Vermont’s longest-serving, most respected and bestknown political leaders, as a guy who supports child molesters! Jesus, Mary and Joseph. It’s a little like trying to portray Warren Beatty as celibate. That flushing sound you just heard, folks, was a certain retired software millionaire’s ego and reputation going down the toilet. At least Ol’ Rich the Political Rookie has got his brand-new $8.9 million Florida oceanfront home and second wife waiting. Life begins at 63! Why Mr. Tarrant is actually doing this, or what it is that’s motivating him, remains an utter mystery. Apparently, when a political candidate has nothing to say about himself, what’s left, other than trashing and smearing one’s opponent? Windham County GOP Chairman George Kuusela is the old fella who appears on camera in Tarrant’s new attack ad. Chairman George is also a longtime biennial loser in the Vermont House district currently represented by former Speaker Michael Obuchowski and Carolyn Partridge, the current House Democratic leader. In the controversial Tarrant ad, Kuusela tells viewers that Sanders voted against Amber Alert legislation. “Bernie Sanders voted against it,” says Kuusela real slowly, “against kids. And he voted against sending two-time child molesters to prison for life — child molesters! Prison is where they should be,” says the Windham County GOP chair. “Bernie should know better.” Normally a nasty attempted-smear ad like this one doesn’t hit the airwaves until October — if ever — in Vermont. It’s the big mudslinging bomb designed to hurt a frontrunner when it counts, when everyone’s paying attention. Late August, we’d suggest, with folks still on vacation and focused elsewhere, is not exactly a prime time to drop the big bomb. But Tarrant has surprised us all by his lack of a message, lack of an issue, lack of a personality and lack of a purpose, other than to act out a personal soap opera. It’s a soap opera in which Richie Rich plays the part of an enormously wealthy, retired capitalist with all the free time on Earth to rabbit-punch, groin-kick, and reputationsmear the most popular, respected and

successful socialist in America. Hey, Richie, whatever turns you on. Said Sanders Campaign Manager Jeff Weaver, “This is the same vile tactic that right-winger Greg Parke used two years ago and that Rich Tarrant is recycling.” The former Marine, originally from Franklin County, gave us a prediction. “This is going to blow up in his face,” said Weaver, “and Vermont voters will soon send Rich Tarrant into early retirement in Florida.” Rich Tarrant has something in common with the CIA. They both prove that money alone does not provide one with intelligence.

James Douglas — an extremely successful, lifelong campaigner. King James has been on the Vermont political scene so long that, as a GOP House leader in the 1970s, he actually voted to decriminalize marijuana. And we’re not talking just for the sick and dying, but everyone! Imagine if he ever ran against Rich Tarrant, what the attack ads would be like? (More on the current pot scene below.) OK. So maybe Scudder the Great Unknown is just a “sacrificial lamb,” a product of a Vermont Democratic Party bench that’s so embarrassingly weak that it has been unable to put a Democrat in either the Gov or the Lite-Gov’s seat since Howard Dean rode off into the sunset in 2002. But if that’s the case, would somebody please explain why the Douglas team seems so worried? They’re taking nothing for granted, which, among other things, suggests why Gov. Douglas spent Monday promoting renewable energy, before the press, at three different farms.

it’s all in one spot.

for the last two weeks, King James has been mentioning repeatedly his born-again, better-late-than-never support for the environmentally cozy “25X’25” initiative that sets a national goal of 25 percent renewable energy by 2025. Is this “damage control” from the leading opponent of wind energy in Vermont? What does Jim Douglas know that we don’t? Certainly there is concern in King James’ Court that Scudder is, as one source put it, “trying to run a stealth campaign.” By that he meant that Parker the Quiet was avoiding the “farleft, out-of-the-mainstream issues” he normally loves to talk about, issues that open him up to charges of “bigger government, more spending and higher taxes.” The concern is that Scudder keeps his head down now, then he gets lifted up by the huge antiRepublican, anti-incumbent wave that only the brainless doubt will sweep across the U.S.A. on November 8. In Vermont, Parker will be “lifted by the Sanders-Welch ground game.” The only question from Douglas Land is, how high will that wave carry Scudder? “Lightning might strike and he could win,” says our GOP source. Nothing is being taken for granted. Fasten your seat belts, folks! Mayoral Spotlight — In Vermont’s largest city, the tallest and quietest mayor we’ve ever had is approaching five months at the helm. So far, so good. Mayor Bob Kiss has lived and worked in Burlington for more than 30 years. He was a social worker/human-services type by profession before his quiet election to the Vermont House in 2000. Never, ever has Big Bob sought the spotlight before. But on Sunday morning, Progressive Mayor Bob Kiss made his first appearance (it’s a threeyear term, folks) on WCAX-TV’s “You Can Quote Me.” The softspoken Progressive is known as a man of few words. But on his inaugural mayoral “Quote Me,” Kiss was a regular chatterbox — wouldn’t shut up! And the rookie mayor of the smallest largest city of any state in the nation stuck to his guns, in more ways than one. Kiss was under fire from veteran inquisitors Marselis Parsons and Andy Potter for pro-guncontrol and pro-sanctuary-city comments he made a few months back, in his early days at the Queen City’s helm. “What was really clear,” said Kiss, “was a lot of people said to me, whatever the outcome, we would like to have a dialogue about guns. I think a lot of people are not aware how many guns are actually in the Burlington community.” The new Progressive mayor said many cops tell him they see guns primarily “in the drug trade.” “We might not see them, but they’re there,” said Da’ Mayor,

who noted, “The most prevalent way to commit suicide is with a gun.” They’re also a factor in domestic abuse. “Women are casualties of guns in the home,” said Kiss. “Those are things we need to talk about,” said the mayor to his inquisitors and the “large” Sunday morning audience. “That conversation’s important.” Asked when the public will see some sort of proposal, Kiss replied, “Sometime soon.” And what about the “Sanctuary City” stuff? What about opening up Burlington, Vermont, to illegal aliens? Kiss said the issue is being driven by “the Republicans who control Congress,” not by state and local officials. He painted it as part of the “national GOP agenda.” “There’s business owners who recognize that undocumented workers are a critical element of doing business in the United States,” said Bob the Prog. “And now there are others who would like people who are undocumented to become felons.” It’s a result, he explained, of “this political dynamic that’s going on in Washington.” Obviously, the mayor has had a chat or two with Police Chief Tom Tremblay since his public remarks about turning Burlington into an official “Sanctuary City.” “Our police department has already got a bias-free policing position in place,” said Da’ Mayor, “and it really does work against profiling. In a lot of ways, I think we’ve already addressed the key elements of sanctuary.” Really? But Kiss did not back down entirely. He expressed concern about an undocumented person calling Burlington Police after being threatened or beaten or robbed. The way things currently operate in The People’s Republic, said Mayor Kiss, that crime victim “would likely be reported to INS,” the federal Immigration and Naturalization Service. Mayor Kiss called that “a public safety issue.” He said he’d still want to lead a public discussion on sanctuary to see if the status quo is “the best way we should do business, or if there’s another way?” Stay tuned. Vermont Pot Watch — Interesting piece last week in the Bennington Banner about the current state of medical marijuana in Vermont. So far, 29 Vermonters suffering from AIDS, cancer or MS have been licensed to grow and smoke pot since it became the law of the land in the Green Mountains back in 2004. The Banner piece focused on Mark Tucci, 49, of Manchester, who has MS. Tucci just published “The Patient’s Simple Guide to Growing Marijuana.” More here: www.patientssimpleguide.com. Public Safety Commissioner and former Vermont State Police drug-investigator Kerry Sleeper

told the Banner he opposes any expansion of the Vermont medical-pot law, “as it would be counterproductive to the efforts the state and his department are making in a longstanding battle against substance abuse, especially with Vermont’s youth. “We can’t be hypocrites and recognize that we have a substance abuse problem and then advocate marijuana use,” said Commissioner Sleeper. State Sen. Dick Sears, a Bennington County Democrat, sees things differently. Sears wants our medical-marijuana law reexamined come January, and expanded to include other illnesses. He’d also like to allow patients to grow more than just three cannabis plants at a time and to possess more than just 2 ounces of dried leaves. And since Sears chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, you can put your money on it — changes will be made. Hey, anyone remember Woodstock? The four-day concert, not the town? We pointed out the recent Banner article to Progressive State Rep. David Zuckerman of Burlington. The ponytailed fivetermer sponsored the first medical-marijuana bill to pass the House back in 2002, when the GOP was actually in control. Zuckerman, who now chairs the House Agriculture Committee, told “Inside Track” that “Commissioner Sleeper continues to discuss fear without showing any facts to back it up. There’s been no indication that this law has led to any more illicit use of marijuana,” said Dave the Prog. He’s got a point, eh? “I am ready to work with Sen. Sears to finish the job that we started six years ago,” said Zuckerman. “We should give the discretion of use to the doctors, and we should place the registry with the Department of Health, where it belongs,” said the new dad. “Law enforcement should not be making medical decisions.” Old Dog, New Trick — Quietly, one week ago, yours truly moved into new territory — the blogosphere. Go to the Seven Days website and click on “7DBlogs” in the upper right-hand corner. The new blog is called “Freyne Land.” So far it feels like a wonderful fit, with a new column appearing daily — stuff you don’t read here! The fact is, there’s simply too much happening on the political scene right now to squeeze into this once-a-week shot.

30 Seconds Over Burlington ...The Vermont Air Guard Air Show may well have performed a service to the community the Vermont Air Guard was not anticipating. It’s made a whole lot of folks, including this writer, stop and ponder the roaring jet noise. Inescapable. It’s drowning out the TV set (PGA Golf Tournament from Medinah - Illinois, not Saudi Arabia). Just imagine what hearing this every day and every night would be like? Especially if they were armed and from another country? And blowing up the Lake Champlain Ferry boats and the Water Treatment Plant and the Burlington Square Mall and the parts of town their intelligence forces had been told are hiding nationalist rebels? Thank God it’s our boys flying them, eh?

I know what you’re thinking. This stuff was stored in the ground, admittedly in unrefined form, for millions of years without losing its potency, but once topside it’s got the shelf life of a tomato? Doubtless the risk of gas going stale is often exaggerated. Still, no getting around one basic truth: In principle, gas can go bad. The shelf life of gasoline depends on the type of gas and the storage conditions and can range from a couple months to a couple years. One wild card is that gas you buy at the pump may already have been in storage for anywhere from days to months. What makes gas go stale? Usually the first thing that happens is the lighter chemicals in it evaporate, leaving behind a heavier, less peppy product. Gasoline is an ideal motor vehicle fuel partly because it vaporizes readily to form a combustible mix with air. If it sits unused, however, its more volatile components waft away, leading to poorer engine performance. It’s hard to tell how much punch your gas has lost without scientific testing, but don’t worry — though your car might start a little harder, it’ll still run (assuming it ran before), and there’s little risk in burning the fuel if this is all that’s gone wrong. The second cause of bad gas is oxidation — some of the hydrocarbons in the fuel react with oxygen to produce new compounds, almost all of them worse than what you started with. When oxidation becomes a problem, you’ll know it without lab tests — the gasoline gives off a sour odor. If you pour some into a glass container, you’ll see it’s turned dark, and you might find small, solid particles of gum. Using oxidized gasoline is a bad idea, since the gum can clog your fuel filter, create deposits in your fuel system (especially the injectors), and generally hurt performance. Finally there’s the problem of contamination. Water, which can cause gasline freezing and other problems, is the main culprit — it usually gets into stored gas via condensation as temperatures fluctuate. If the gas is relatively fresh, a “fuel dryer� additive (basically isopropyl alcohol) can help by combining with the water to make a burnable mix that can be run through the system. Another potential problem caused by water is bacteria, although that’s not nearly as common. Gas contaminated with dirt or rust is a no-go, as the crud will foul your engine. The push for reformulated gasoline using ethanol (such as E10, a.k.a. gasohol) has heightened concerns

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

Dear Cecil, Popular opinion holds that gasoline is unstable and lasts six months at the most; some claim it loses its “edge� after as little as two weeks. Practical experience seems to show that gasoline can be stored without special precautions for years with no noticeable deterioration. Storage conditions are supposed to make a huge difference, but in my observation they don’t. What’s the straight dope on this? Sean Costall, via email

about gasoline stability. On its website Chevron claims, “Federal and California reformulated gasolines will survive storage as well or better than conventional gasoline,� and I can’t find any good test data to dispute that. The fact remains that ethanol is hydrophilic, meaning it tends to draw moisture out of the air, so theoretically gasohol should become contaminated more easily than pure gasoline. The shelf life of gasohol is difficult to determine — proponents claim it’s similar to that of pure gasoline but present no hard data. Anecdotally speaking, boat owners and survivalists — people who often deal with stored gasoline — report a much shorter shelf life for gasolineethanol blends and advise against storing them long-term. How to keep your fuel April-fresh? First, store it only in clean containers with tight caps. Whether the containers are metal or plastic doesn’t matter much, although steel can eventually rust. Fiberglass containers should be avoided unless they’re rated safe for alcoholcontaining fuels. Keep the container nearly full to reduce exposure to air, but not completely full, so the gasoline can expand or contract as the temperature changes. That said, try to minimize those temperature swings — store gasoline in a cool place to reduce evaporation and oxidation. Consider a gas stabilizer for fuel you plan to keep awhile, but remember, stabilizers are meant to prevent gasoline from going bad; they won’t restore bad gas to its former health. There’s no easy way to get rid of bad gasoline, but don’t be a pig and dump it down the drain. If you really can’t use it, contact your city or county to ask where you can dispose of it legally. Some people recommend using it in a lawn mower, but you risk gumming up the mower’s works instead. What’s left, tiki torches? Better to time your gas consumption and purchases so you don’t need to store any — gas prices being what they are, no sense tying up cash in something that may just go to waste. CECIL ADAMS

Curses, Foiled Again Police said that Pierre Barton, 20, tried to rob a Cleveland pizza place by waving a gun in the manager’s face. When he dropped the weapon, which turned out to be two sticks taped together and covered with a black cloth, he hastily grabbed the bulky cash register, containing $800, and ran off with it. While fleeing, Barton dropped his holdup script, written on two index cards: “Give me the money� and “Tell I’ll kill your family.� The manager gave chase, despite Barton’s warning that he would shoot him, even though he no longer had even a fake weapon, and cornered him until police arrived.

We’re All Bozos on This Bus An annual British rock festival changed its circus theme after learning that a number of its ticket-holders are afraid of clowns. Last year’s Bestival, which featured a cowboys-and-Indians theme, broke a world record for the biggest fancy dress party when 10,000 people turned up in Wild West disguises, but this year, organizers feared thousands of clowns in one place at the September event could spark mass panic. “We have

Of those 30 percent, almost half were 55 or older. Sixteen percent were college graduates.

After tracking Holland to his residence, officers found stolen bank and credit cards, as well as Holland’s wallet, dumped behind his home. “If you’re trying to get away with something,â€? Officer Bob Martinez said, “wearing a clown mask on a Monday afternoon in Valley West is not the way to do it.â€?

Fill-Up Follies During a gasoline giveaway in Milwaukee, two vehicles crashed, several arguments and fights

occurred, four people were arrested on disorderly conduct charges, and three police officers were sent to the hospital. Allstate Insurance sponsored the event to reward the city for its safe-driving record. Noting that the giveaway attracted a 2-mile line of vehicles by the time Andy’s gas station opened at 6 a.m., police official Anne E. Schwartz said, “You never know what’s going to happen when you give away free gas.�

Lousy Gas Mileage Is the Least of Their Problems Federal highway safety investigators are studying 26 complaints that the front wheels of the 2003 model Hummer H2 sport utility vehicle fell off for no apparent reason. The first person to report the problem was Mark Glover, the auto editor of the Sacramento Bee, who told the government that his test-drive of a yellow 2003 H2 ended abruptly when the vehicle veered suddenly to the left and crashed in the newspaper’s parking lot. Photos by a Bee photographer showed a scraped light pole and a wheel 15 feet away. Suspecting that a part called the steering knuckle, which holds the steering arms in place near the front tires, may have caused H2 suspensions to collapse or their wheels to separate, engineers from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also are examining data about 61 steering-knuckle failures on three-quarter-ton GM Suburban and Avalanche pickup trucks.

Aviation Administration to launch a new lighter-than-air craft featuring a 70-by30-foot LED screen that will flash commercials from the air. “It totally rises above the clutter,â€? said Toby Page, marketing director of the Lightship Group in Orlando. Company officials would not identify the flying billboard’s first client, which paid $5 million for a yearlong campaign, but said the craft will first be deployed overseas. They added that besides commercials, the A-170 can flash sports highlights and movie trailers. • Homeland Security officials in Indiana warned Vermillion County to stop using electronic emergency message boards to advertise fish fries, spaghetti dinners and other community events. Homeland Security bought the 11 signs for $300,000 to flash evacuation routes for drivers in case of a terrorist attack or natural disaster, but sponsors of a spaghetti dinner fundraiser and an elementary school carnival reported largerthan-usual turnouts after message-board ads. “We run the county,â€?

RENTAL PROPERTIES

PRESENTS THE 2ND ANNUAL

Are you thinking about becoming a landlord? Single-family and multi family homes are popular real estate investments. These properties can be an excellent source of income. The number one question for prospective landlords is how to finance such a purchase. Typically non-owner occupied one through four unit properties are considered ‘conventional’ loans by most Lenders while five plus units are considered ‘commercial’. Conventional one to four unit properties are often much easier to finance. In fact, one and two unit investment properties can be financed with as little as 10% down by many lenders. Three- four unit properties typically require 2025% down payments. The Lender will determine the risk involved in acquiring rental property by looking at the buyer’s personal finances and the projected rental income. However, if you don’t have landlord experience, many lenders will require you to qualify without using rental income.

Join editors and writers from the world’s most popular humor publication for an evening of scathingly entertaining commentary and political satire to benefit the festival. Don’t miss your chance to see why the Onion’s books have become New York Times bestsellers and the New Yorker hails it as“the funniest publication in the United States!�

Finally, lenders will want to make sure that the borrower has sufficient reserves to handle contingencies, such as repairs, maintenance, and taxes and insurance.

ALL THE NEWS THAT GIVES US FITS

JonBenet Who?

O

h, right. It’s all coming back to me now, in spades. That blonde, dimpled, 6-year-old “beauty queen,” dressed and painted like a Vegas hooker, who was found beaten and strangled in the basement of her parents’ home in Boulder, Colorado, on Christmas Day, 1996. Her sudden reemergence as a news item has blown even last week’s shrieking issue, “Terror in the Skies,” right out of the, uh, skies. Who cares about a bunch of tourists having to ditch their shampoo at the airport when we’ve finally

Let’s face it, from the point of view of media scandal, the kind the public gobbles up, this summer’s been Double Dullsville. got a suspect in (yet another) “Crime of the Century” and, better still, a self-confessed child molester behind bars? And the neat part is, we get to see all that tacky video footage again: JonBenet dressed as a cowgirl or a showgirl, tossing her boa, faking a striptease and grinning at the camera. What fun! And what journalist worthy of the name could possibly pass on a story like this? Lebanon has a “cease fire,” after all, and there were only 3438 civilian deaths in Iraq in July — a 9-percent increase from June, but so what? In Britain, John Prescott, the acting head of government while Tony Blair is on vacation, has described George Bush as “crap” and “just a cowboy with his Stetson on,” but so what? Being called names is “the burden of leadership,” says White House spokesman Tony Snow. And if you don’t believe him, just ask Anna Diggs Taylor, the black, female, liberal-pinko judge in Michigan who has temporarily put the kibosh on Bush’s unconstitutional NSA wiretapping program, and therefore “supports the terrorists.” She’s probably lesbian, too, intent on destroying the traditional family, although no one in the media said so last week. Commentators preferred to note that Judge Taylor was appointed during the “failed presidency” of Jimmy Carter, and was once married to a Congressman “later convicted of 29 counts of operating a payroll kickback scheme in his office.” Which ought to qualify her as a Republican, right? Right, but so what? We’ve got JonBenet to think about. Why shouldn’t the corporate media turn their conglomerate back on every story of significance and revert to what they do best, saturating the pages and airwaves with tasteless, tedious, specious, endless and pointless blather about murdered white girls? In this case, “wall-to-wall coverage” of a 10-year-old crime that never had the slightest relevance to anyone but the victim, her family, her killer(s), Colorado law enforcement and, I suppose,

the residents of Boulder who were alarmed enough to add another lock to their doors. Well? Why blame the media? Nobody’s daughter disappeared in Aruba this year, right? Mel Gibson copped a plea, depriving the pundits of a really fascinating trial. (Just imagine, “the activist judge” might have been Jewish!) And it appears that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ new baby, the mysterious “Suri,” isn’t a deformed, threetoed alien from space after all, but a beautiful, healthy and “perfectly normal” child, destined for a life in Scientology and, one day, a rather stupendous financial inheritance. Let’s face it, from the point of view of media scandal, the kind the public gobbles up, this summer’s been Double Dullsville. So why am I feeling just a tad uneasy, a bit sick to my stomach, about JonBenet’s media resurrection and “the multi-milliondollar industry” The New York Times says has been built around her death since 1996? Am I un-American or something? Am I not a writer who’d like a bestseller of his own? Am I incapable of sympathy for the Ramsey family, or even curiosity about the earthshaking ramifications of JonBenet’s murder and the ever-present menace of “quiet, slim, pasty-looking,” twice-divorced Southern drifters and schoolteachers like John Mark Karr, whose students in Thailand were apparently so scared of his “strictness” that they “wet their pants in their seats” rather than ask to be excused to the bathroom? Really, what is the matter with me? As far as I’m concerned, the only winners in this pumped-up scenario are JonBenet and her recently dead mother, the muchmaligned Patsy, now twirling their batons through all eternity and, let’s hope, missing the rest. As I write this, Mr. Karr is on his way back from Bangkok to Boulder, escorted by God knows how many guards and reporters, with “breaking news” updates every 10 minutes telling me just how much longer it’ll be till he lands. On Google’s news page, I can select from more than 6000 articles published already if I want to know more about him. But I really don’t. I had more than enough of JonBenet when her story first aired, and, for all I know, the skeptics are right when they say that Karr has copped to her murder only to escape those “filthy, overcrowded and notoriously dangerous” prisons in Siam. Maybe I should wait for Katie Couric to explain it all for me when she takes over as anchor of the CBS Evening News on September 5 — after they’re finished fixing her hair, changing her clothes, and lowering her voice ever so slightly, in order to turn her from morning television’s unchallenged Princess of Perk into a heavyweight newswoman with more on her mind than her “live” colonoscopy. Now there’s some footage I really never want to see again. m

eing the director of the South End Arts and Business Association is a big enough job in the winter, but the rest of year it gets really hairy. Especially right about now. That’s because the head of SEABA is also in charge of Art Hop. Scheduled this year for September 8 & 9, the annual community arts event comprises dozens of open studios, businesses hosting artworks, demonstrations and other artful activities. Oh, and a juried exhibit, a silent auction and one heck of a Friday-night party on Pine Street with bands, booze and unabashed creativity. Current director Anna Rosenblum Palmer, 32, says that from June to October, planning Art Hop takes 90 percent of her time. The only other paid (and temporary) staff are Assistant Director Brooke Hunter and Coordinator Danielle Cox. To get a sense of the event’s scope, consider this: 300-plus artists; 89 venues; some 60 volunteers (Palmer’s still looking to fill those shoes); and upwards of 30,000 attendees. She also has to meet city and police expectations regarding alco-

hol and entertainment, and get the neighbors on board for a night of noise in the ’hood — till midnight this year, people! And all this without a fully functional computer system. Yep, Palmer cites technology as the most frustrating aspect of her job — and who among us can’t relate to that? “I came in with the idea of professionalizing Art Hop,� she says, suggesting a website with online registration, a searchable database, links and other interactive features. Is it good to go? “No way,� Palmer states flatly. Working through those kinks — on a shoestring budget — will take more time, she concedes. But she applauds one tireless techie volunteer, Ben Ipsen of Propeller Media Works, for trying to make it happen. Palmer also raves about Burlington designer Scott Andre Campbell, who’s donated his services — and a special pigment he brought home from France — to design a limited-edition print for the event. In many ways, Art Hop is all about the serendipitous collision of talent, passion and volunteered time. “The push/pull of letting Art Hop be organic and trying to professionalize it� is frustrating, but also sometimes fun, Palmer says. More on the fun side: “Strut,� an artfashion show featuring clothes by local designers (still looking for models, male and female, Palmer notes); a large-scale community art project; some wacky outdoor sculptures; and this year’s unexpected “gallery�: the former Specialty Filaments building on Pine Street.

Blachly is the owner/director of Unadilla Theatre in Marshfield, and Rachel Corrie, as Seven Days theater critic Elisabeth Crean reported last week, was the young activist killed in Palestine two years ago, at age 23, by an Israeli bulldozer. My Name Is Rachel Corrie is a one-woman play based on her prolific writings, developed by British actor Alan Rickman and journalist Katherine Viner for the Royal Court Theatre. By way of previewing Unadilla’s current production — reworked on the fly when permission to stage the original was withdrawn — Crean explained the transatlantic brouhaha surrounding the controversial play and why someone was trying to prevent Unadilla from hosting its American premiere. Blachly’s letter-writer is a New York attorney claiming to represent some unnamed “copyright holders� of Rachel Corrie’s written words. But Unadilla’s fearless leader is having none of that. “Seems to me it’s public information,� he asserts. “Many, many groups across the country and Canada are doing works based on her writings — using Rachel Corrie’s words in one way or another.� Vermonters have just three more chances to see Rachel: tonight, tomorrow and Friday (check www.unadilla.org for schedule). Featuring 26-year-old Montpelier actress Emily Graves, the show “is something that really should be seen,� says Blachly. He adds: “I’d be surprised if even the family would be upset by this. On the Internet, her father said he’d be delighted to have her emails disseminated as widely as possible.� m

A Possible Explanation: Poems by Peggy Sapphire, Partisan Press, 57 pages. $12.

Peggy Sapphire reads as part of Tea & Poetry at Perennial Pleasures, East Hardwick, Sunday, August 27, 4 p.m. Donations go to American Friends Service Committee. Info, 472-5104. She will also read on Tuesday, August 29, 7 p.m., at the Galaxy Bookshop in Hardwick.

e tend to make certain assumptions about political poetry: that it’s doctrinaire, onesided, humorless. Maybe it’s the result of hearing too much doggerel read at rallies. However, that’s not how it has to be. In his famous Defence of Poetry, 19th-century radical poet Percy Bysshe Shelley claimed that good verse is always political, though not necessarily partisan, because it encourages us to feel empathy for strangers. Poetry fights deeply embedded tribalist habits of thinking and shows us how to think as modern people must — in terms of the whole human race. A Possible Explanation, a short collection of poems by Peggy Sapphire of Craftsbury, gives us a sense of what Shelley meant. Take “For Sappho,” which starts off as a fairly conventional lament for the oppressed, both their “scattered corpses” and the “survivors collapsed / on our knees / perhaps standing / in pointblank range.” It’s not too hard to detach oneself from these verses, particularly because the dead and their survivors seem generic. This could be a poem about the Holocaust or any other genocide or ruinous conflict of the past century. Given the range of possibilities and the bleakness of the world they delineate, sometimes our response to an elegy like this is compassion fatigue. In the third verse, however, Sapphire brings the pain home to us: no single voice or chosen words approaches the silence of blood-blackened shattered thousands whose final breaths forever shudder across all our shoulders

whose semblance appears in orphaned children their eyes reminding us in the language of touch not voice of hands upon hands fingers woven no spoken words but arms across broad backs and delicate waists sweet curls and repeating waves of brown blond gray plentiful breasts with rested heads upon them lips on lips on cheeks . . . Sapphire describes the dead and their survivors as part of a physical, tangible continuum, linked not just by DNA but by the gestures that convey affection. She puts us in the place of the orphaned children who will always recall a last embrace, reminding us that we too are physically, emotionally connected to people whom wars or disasters or political regimes could snatch from us. The image reappears in the poem “Aunt Alice.” Here Sapphire tells the story of her aunt who in 1938, at the age of 13, was placed on a train out of Nazi-controlled Vienna by her parents. She survived, part of the famous Kindertransport; her parents died in Auschwitz. The adult Aunt Alice remembers “her father’s fractured hands / shat“Underlines” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

tered in train doors slamming”; her parents’ “last embraces survive with her.” As a mother, she has sworn “never to / break a child’s heart, never to abandon, never to deprive.” But Alice’s parents abandoned her to save her. We can count ourselves lucky, Sapphire’s poem gently implies, if the world puts us in a position to stay true to our vows. Other poems allow us to take a greater distance from suffering. In “Quarry Man,” whose eponymous narrator supplies granite headstones to Arlington Cemetery, we watch a soldier’s bereaved mother grasping a stone “like it was / her son’s shoulders.” Poems about Sapphire’s upbringing and her activist family introduce themes of hope, struggle and simple pleasures. But pain is never far away. The book’s epigraph is “Suffering is good for you” — a quote attributed to Jack Sapphire, the poet’s father. “It came to me as I was putting the last touches on the book,” Sapphire says in a telephone interview. “I grew up as an immigrant’s daughter, with a message about the long struggles he went through. There’s all kinds of suffering; we all have it, for different reasons, but we get to the same places. It’s a teacher if you let it be.” Sapphire, 67, has been living in Vermont for six years and writing poetry for almost 40. When asked what A Possible Explanation is a possible explanation for, she says, “For me. How did I get to where I am?” Though she cautions readers not to assume that the poems are a “photograph” of her life, or an autobiography without invention, Sapphire does see them as akin to the oral histories she loves. In the first poem, “Where I’m From,” for instance, we hear the strident voice of the poet as a young girl, Brooklyn-bred and adrift in the deep South. “You gonna make me?” she asks those who tell her to sit in the Whites Only part of the bus. A Possible Explanation is also a family portrait, with a cast of characters that encompasses radically different versions of the immigrant experience. One of Sapphire’s father’s uncles founded American Greetings; his condescension toward his poor relatives is captured in “That’s What I Heard.” Another uncle was Abe Saperstein — German for “sapphire” — who founded the Harlem Globetrotters. Yet another was not so famous. He washed dishes for a living, but “could quote the Kirschel number / of any Schumann, Beethoven or Bach,” Sapphire writes in “Uncle Nathan.” Sapphire’s father was a man of convictions. At 17, he arrived in the States alone from eastern Germany. There he met Sapphire’s mother, whom she describes as “a bright and beautiful young woman who had made a speech on the rights of workers.” The family moved from Brooklyn to Miami and then frequently around the South, where Sapphire’s father was engaged in the politically dangerous work of organizing migrant workers. Though he never joined the Communist Party, Sapphire says, her father still ran afoul of the House Unamerican Activities Committee, which tried to force him to

Poems about Sapphire’s upbringing and her activist family introduce themes of hope, struggle and simple pleasures. testify against his fellow activists. “He had attended a rally, and in the late ’40s that’s about all you had to do,” she says. “Those were hard years.” Still, Sapphire says, her father never stopped believing that “America was what it said it was. A good life.” In her poem “The Art of Making an Omelette,” we see an aspect of that good life. The father uses Old World ingredients to prepare his daughter a delectable omelette, which the two enjoy even as they rehash the losses and silences in their common past. Sapphire spent 28 years working in schools around New York State, often as a special-education counselor. She taught herself to write with help from workshops that also became valuable sources of support. The “Omelette” poem was one of the first Sapphire published, in the Partisan Press’ Blue Collar Review. More publications in literary journals and anthologies followed. But she returned to the Partisan Press with her book manuscript, a collection of poems written over 12 years and not originally envisioned as a whole. While many of the poems look to the past, others vibrate with the impact of current events. In “Not Yet,” Sapphire reflects on the continuing plight of immigrants and the poor. In a poem written on the eve of the millennium, she wonders, “When we are gone who will / sing Dylan out of tune and out of mind / who will be the minstrels / . . . to The Children of Cyber?” Is she suggesting that younger generations might have trouble carrying on an activist legacy? In her work with the Progressive Party, Sapphire says, “I meet some wonderful young people who are powerfully committed.” Still, she acknowledges there’s “a lot of comfort” in the affluent parts of today’s America. “If you’re very comfortable, you don’t want to change that much,” she goes on, her mild voice vibrating with conviction. “Only when you are in turmoil about something, for some reason, do you start to think about making a change. It’s not about partisan stuff, it’s about things that will identify us as people who stand up for civil rights and human rights. It takes a huge courage. That’s not common.” m

t’s lunchtime at Norwich University, and the temporary campus cafeteria is bustling with lean, athletic-looking youths. Nearly all the men sport fresh crew cuts, while the women wear their hair pulled back in STORY tight buns. Both women and men are KEN dressed in sneakers and gray T-shirts PICARD tucked into maroon shorts. The military feel is no accident — these are the upperIMAGES classmen in the “Corps of Cadets,â€? JAY Norwich’s on-campus military company. ERICSON At a time when the United States is waging bloody and controversial wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and in a state where hawkish sentiments are in the minority, the country’s only private military college is, by all measures, thriving. Enrollment is up, academic programs are expanding and major construction projects are transforming the face of the Northfield campus. The makeshift mess hall — a long, low-ceilinged, windowless room in the basement of the Engineering, Math and Science Complex — is evidence of this growth. The room is a temporary fix, until the massive hole in the ground outside the front door morphs into the new, $25 million Wise Campus Center. The threestory, 71,420-square-foot facility will eventually house an impressive new dining room, lounge, cafĂŠ, office space, conference rooms, theater and state-of-the-art audiovisual center. When the facility opens sometime next summer, it will become the school’s social hub. Elsewhere on campus, workers are putting the finishing touches on the Sullivan Museum and History Center, a $6 million, 16,000-square-foot facility, which is slated to open on October 20. Also in the works is a $5 million athletic complex. All told, Norwich will spend about $100 million over the next five years — a huge investment for any school, let alone a tiny university in central Vermont.

Driving this expansion is Richard Schneider. The Queens, New York, native has been the president of Norwich since 1992, making him one of the longestserving university presidents in New England. A graduate of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, Schneider was initially seen as an unlikely choice to head up a military college that produces more U.S. Army officers than any school except West Point. But Schneider quickly silenced critics of his “Coastie� credentials by demonstrating a keen ability for growing the school’s endowment, boosting its enrollment, and raising its academic standards and national reputation. Consider some of Schneider’s recent accomplishments: Norwich is now in its third fundraising campaign since his arrival. His previous goal of $25 million took him six years to accomplish — and he exceeded it by $4 million. The current $55 million capital campaign is only in its third year, and already Schneider has raised $42 million, putting the drive two years ahead of schedule. This fundraising effort is also Norwich’s first attempt to raise money for something other than bricks and mortar. The lion’s share of those funds — $34 million — will go towards academic improvements including studies abroad and new scholarships, degree programs and faculty positions. In the last year alone, Schneider has added 60 new fulltime jobs at Norwich, nearly all of them high-paying faculty or staff positions. That’s a major boon to the central Vermont economy. Growth is also taking place in Norwich’s student body, both among its military and civilian populations. When Schneider came aboard 14 years ago, Norwich had 780 students in the Corps of Cadets; today there are 1150. Back then

the school had only 300 civilian students, all of whom commuted to campus from Vermont College in Montpelier, which Norwich owned until 1993. Today the university has 400 civilian students living on campus and another 400 who commute. Those numbers don’t include the 1200 or so online graduate students, all of whom are in programs created during Schneider’s tenure. He plans to add 100 more Corps students and 100 more civilians, all of whom will eventually live on campus. The school’s master plan includes a proposed $45 million dormitory to house as many as 750 civilian students. Clearly, Norwich is trying to appeal to more than just the country’s future fighting force. These days, many of its degree programs seem more applicable to the civilian sector than to the military: journalism, business, education and architecture, to name a few. Moreover, Schneider has expressed a strong interest in giving its civilian students a “sense of place” on campus that is uniquely their own. “Students are expecting more of their campuses than when you or I went to school,” Schneider says. “Most people think we’re all military, and that’s our predominant feel. But that’s not all we are as a university.”

Do such changes reflect a fundamental shift in Norwich’s underlying military character? Schneider doesn’t think so.

ence classes,� he jokes. “We were all right-wing Republicans.� Today, Schneider understands that the U.S. military is far more heterogeneous, both racially and politically. And in a world where many of these soon-to-be military officers will be working side-by-side with people in the private sector, or have them as subordinates — currently, about one-third of the Department of Defense is occupied by civilians — Schneider says it’s crucial that Norwich encourages more mutual understanding and respect between military and civilian personnel. “I think that diversity is one of Norwich’s strengths,� Schneider says. “My goal is to make the students who are going into the service better officers. And the ones who are going to be civilians get a deeper appreciation for what it takes to be in the military.� During the post-Vietnam era, the widely unpopular war meant

tough financial times and a severe drop in enrollment for Norwich. But the school’s civilian outreach today is not being driven by recruitment woes. Quite the contrary. Like many of its nonmilitary counterparts, the university now rejects a higher percentage of its applicants than ever before. And, unlike all branches of the armed forces, Norwich hasn’t seen a drop in the number of recruits who are interested in becoming military officers. Nor is the school hurt, apparently, by its location in left-leaning Vermont. Only about 15 percent of its students come from the Green Mountain State, and those who do, Schneider notes, tend to be more politically and socially conservative than their counterparts at UVM, St. Michael’s or Middlebury College. Ultimately, he doesn’t think the increase in civilian students living on campus will alter the school’s culture. Civilian students will continue to take their

hats off when the American flag is raised or lowered and call adults “sir� or “ma’am,� regardless of whether they’re speaking to someone in uniform. These traits, Schneider notes, aren’t taught to the civilian students so much as acquired as a result of their being part of the culture on campus. That said, since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan began, Schneider has noticed a change among all his students: a renewed seriousness — in their studies, their workouts and their personal discipline. Last year, as many as 35 Norwich students were serving in Iraq or Afghanistan at any one time. Such realities can’t help but create a sense of gravity on campus that is difficult to ignore. “It’s made the students who are here appreciate what they’re doing, because they know full well that within six months of graduation, they’ll be fighting, too,� Schneider says. “They know it’s real, and the civilian kids know it’s real, too.� m

Money Trail Vermonters rallied for storm victims — did those efforts pay off?

W STORY

CATHY RESMER

hen Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast last summer, Vermonters rallied to help people affected by the storm. Dozens of fundraisers occurred in the weeks after those first horrific broadcasts from Mississippi and Louisiana towns, particularly New Orleans. Large organizations such as the American Red Cross collected money for hurricane relief — the Northern Vermont

chapter alone raised $1.8 million. But lots of smaller groups pitched in, too — members of 10 local 4H clubs gathered $1331.62 in a bottle drive. And there were countless in-kind contributions, such as the 70 trucks of goods the state sent to Mississippi. It’s impossible to assess the total value of everything Vermonters sent south, but it clearly was significant. But what happened to all the money and stuff? Did it get where it was supposed to go? Did the contributions make a difference? Nearly one year after Katrina, Seven Days contacted a handful of fundraising organizers to find out. A flurry of phone calls revealed that the answers don’t come easy. Some cases are clearer than others. Rob Levine, executive director of the Northern Vermont chapter of the Red Cross, says the money his organization raised helped support the very visible Red Cross disaster efforts. “That was spent on the delivery of Red Cross goods and services to the clients in the hurricane zone,” he says of Vermonters’ $1.8 mil. “I could get more specific, but I can tell you: shelter, food, emergency and immediate needs of folks who were displaced by the hurricane.” Rose Garritano, Chittenden County 4H educator for the University of Vermont Extension 4H program, says the group’s bottle drive benefitted 4H foundations in Mississippi and Louisiana. “It was earmarked to help 4H families,” Garritano says. The clubs also helped animals affected by the storm, sending some funds to the Mississippi and Louisiana ASPCA and to state veterinary associations. It was more difficult to uncover what happened to the money raised at the “Dance for the Delta,” a Montpelier concert on September 30, 2005, featuring Yankee Chank, Mango Jam and the Vermont Jazz Ensemble. The show’s $10 admission was intended to benefit musiceducation programs in New Orleans-area schools, in particular the band program at Boothville-Venice High School in Plaquemines Parish.

The Vermont Arts Council and the Montpelier Downtown Community Association, which cosponsored the event, chose the beneficiary at the suggestion of Stephen Weibust, a music teacher who taught for 30 years at Edmunds Middle School in Burlington. Last summer, Weibust moved to New Orleans to work on a book about obscure jazz musicians. He took a job teaching music and band at BVHS in a Crescent City suburb. Three weeks into the school year, the storm hit, flooding the building and destroying classrooms and supplies. Weibust, who has since returned to Burlington, conceived the fundraiser as a way to help the high school get its music back. According to VAC Development Director Diane Manion Scolaro, the Dance for the Delta raised $2022.10. A check in that amount from the Montpelier association to the Plaquemines Parish School Board was sent on December 21; both Scolaro and Weibust say they received thank-you letters. The organizations also sent six musical instruments along with the check. But when Seven Days contacted Debra Lee, staff development and donations coordinator for the Plaquemines Parish School Board, she couldn’t recall the donation. Lee explained that six of the parish’s nine schools were severely damaged in Katrina and remained closed for the entire school year; Boothville-Venice was one of them. It reopened a few weeks ago, but now serves students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade and does not have a band program. Two of the parish’s schools do offer band, though only one — BelleChasse High School — currently has an active program with a director. After phone calls to the principals of Boothville-Venice High School and BelleChasse middle and high schools, as well as to the head of the Belle-Chasse band boosters and the school board’s financial office, Lee finally ascertained that the Montpelier money was deposited into the school board’s general Katrina relief fund. The six horns were sent to the band at Belle-Chasse High School. But the money has not yet been used, Lee discovered. For some reason, it wasn’t designated for any particular program when it was deposited. Would the money have ever helped fund a band program if a reporter hadn’t called to inquire about it? “No, I don’t think so,” Lee admitted. “I’m not saying it wouldn’t have been spent on a relief effort, but I don’t think it would have necessarily gone to the band department. “I hate to sound like we’re negligent,” she added apologetically, “but it’s just been crazy.” Lee listed the difficulties — cleanup, staff turnover, a deluge of donations, the scramble to reopen. In fact, BoothvilleVenice just got its phones replaced last week. Its voicemail hasn’t been turned on yet, and the school’s website hasn’t been updated since before the storm. Lee said she hopes the school board will be able to apply the Vermont donation to a music program at South Plaquemines High School, where most of the BoothvilleVenice kids have gone. “This will be significant in helping them establish a band program,” she predicted hopefully. But, Lee added, “It may not happen this year.” m

IMAGES BY DAVID RAE MORRIS

atrina’s winds shredded through the Gulf South like a giant scythe, but it was the flood in New Orleans that jolted the national psyche, leaving the deepest memory. The flood turned the Big Easy into a disaster zone, planting the image of a Third World backwater. When has the persona of a city been so altered so quickly, or a president so damaged by a single event? TV pictures across the globe showed people trapped on rooftops, sloshing knee-high past bloated corpses and sunken cars, old folk in wheelchairs, women and babies, looters with grocery carts. Most people fled to far-flung places, many to stay for weeks and months. With 80 percent of New Orleans under water, the country that put men on the moon took five days to evacuate hospitals. Ronald Reagan decried “big guvment” and dismantled the New Deal. George W. Bush gave us bloated government — slashing taxes, spending billions, much of that for the war in Iraq. Four years after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the flood exposed an inept emergency-response system. After he told his soon-to-be-sacked FEMA director Michael Brown, “Brownie, you’re doing a heckuva job,” Bush’s popularity plunged, swamped by an image of detachment and incompetence.

6/5/06

As the media gear up for Katrina anniversary packages, we can expect fresh video of New Orleans’ dead neighborhoods, panning abandoned streets and houses still etched with brown waterlines. With only 181,000 of the pre-Katrina population of 463,000 back, the infrastructure is fragile. Electricity reaches only 60 percent of the pre-Katrina customer base. The water system needs an estimated $2 billion in repair. The flood punctured 17,000 leaks in the 136-mile piping system. As a reduced work force scrambles to repair the worst leaks, the city is losing millions of gallons of water a week, with no rescue package in sight. But, residents are told, $8 billion in federal funds will soon arrive, earmarked for homeowners and businesses that lacked sufficient insurance to rebuild or recoup some of their losses.

There is a shadow-story to this devastation that reaches across the country. In exposing the shoddy system of federal emergency preparedness, the New Orleans flood highlights an even greater crisis: the impact of climate change. Hurricane Katrina was a billboard for global warming. For years, emissions from fossil fuels used by industry and automobiles sent carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which allowed sunlight in but kept heat from escaping, creating what’s been called a “greenhouse effect.” As scientific consensus emerged, Al Gore, then a U.S. senator, made the ozone a political issue. >> 34A

If we want there to be a New Orleans, or a Los Angeles, or a Miami, or a New York, 500 years from now, we can’t assume they’ll be there. We have to plan for them to be there. MARK DAVIS, COALITION TO RESTORE COASTAL LOUISIANA

Today’s Congressional majority scorns the issue. Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) calls global warming “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.” For years, ExxonMobil has engaged in a shameful disinformation campaign to discredit the scientific findings. With no hint of irony, Inhofe calls global warming “the big lie,” comparing the science behind it to Nazi propaganda leading up to World War II. Here’s a fact for the senator: One of the biggest U.S. contributors to global warming is the automobile industry, which, rather than invest in energy-efficient cars, keeps producing SUVs, profitable dinosaurs that guzzle gas and release more carbon dioxide. An Inconvenient Truth, the film based on Gore’s ongoing lectures and the title of his companion book, shows stark scenes of glaciers crumbling and the browning of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. As gases from burned fossil fuels eat the ozone layer, a long melt is under way in Greenland and Antarctica. The melted ice causes seas to rise. As seas rise, so do their temperatures in hot months. Hotter air and warmer water ignite more powerful storms. The hottest year on record, 2005, saw the greatest concentration of hurricanes with record winds — Katrina, Rita and Wilma. The summer of 2006 has brought continuing destruction, just more widely spread. “We’d have to go back over three decades to find anything comparable to the flooding we’re seeing in the Northeast,” a National Weather Service meteorologist named Dennis Feltgen told USA Today in late June. He was referring to the wash of destruction in New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Virginia. Perhaps the most chilling scene in An Inconvenient Truth is an aerial map of Manhattan turning blue-green from flooding. Don’t laugh. One hard turn from a Category 3 hurricane and the Big Apple could be a mess. A mild version of that scenario happened in December 1992 when a northeasterly storm sent the sea level up 8 feet at the southern edge of Manhattan Island. LaGuardia Airport had to close, the Brooklyn tunnel flooded, and the subway system shut down. Perhaps those memories, cou-

harder, deeper look. Author Tidwell is one of them. “Britain’s largest insurance company, CGNU, in 2002 predicted that unchecked global warming could bankrupt the entire global economy by 2065,” he reports in The Ravaging Tide. “A key threat highlighted by the insurer was sea-level rise that would directly destroy valuable land, buildings and agricultural assets while indirectly exposing everything farther inland to more intense storms expected in a warmer world.”

BEFORE THE STORM (ABOVE). SIX MONTHS LATER (BELOW).

pled with TV coverage of Katrina, explain why Manhattanites are buying flood insurance. At present, only 28 percent of homes in the Northeast carry flood insurance, compared to 49 percent nationwide, in areas that are considered high-risk. In his new book, The Ravaging Tide, Mike Tidwell writes that a rise in sea level of 1 to 3 feet will have an impact on “every inch of American shoreline from the Texas coast to the Florida Keys to the Outer Banks of North Carolina to Cape Cod. The low-lying areas of San Diego and San Francisco and much of Puget Sound on the West Coast are at great risk, too.” He cites an EPA study in saying, “No fewer than one in four U.S. buildings within 500 feet of a coastline will be destroyed by erosion by midcentury.” Flooding is America’s most common natural disaster. In the

decade before Katrina, flooding caused $7.1 billion in losses to homes and businesses. As the intensity and frequency increase, the average 30-year mortgage has a 26-percent chance of taking damage from rising water, compared to a 4-percent chance of fire. As more people buy flood insurance, the financial pressure on the federal government, which backs flood insurance, will escalate in kind. “Hurricane Katrina’s $23 billion [insurance] hit has triggered a full-blown debate about the federal program that insures property in flood-prone areas,” author Neil Peirce wrote recently in Stateline.org, the online publication of the Pew Research Center. “Critics are charging the program’s rates are so cheap and its loopholes so broad that it actually puts pressure on local governments to permit new development in extraordinarily flood-prone areas — territory

that should never be built on in the first place.” Tidwell assesses wider damage from global warming. The last 30 years in Alaska have seen a temperature rise of 5 degrees. He cites a 4-million acre “forest of spruce trees so vast it’s bigger than the state of Connecticut — yet every single spruce is dead.” The dead forest — a distant cousin to New Orleans’s dead neighborhoods — is caused by a spruce beetle reproducing at twice its normal rate. “The result is the largest forest die-off by insect infestation ever recorded in North America,” Tidwell writes. The Republicans who control Congress appear to have aped President Bush’s “What, me worry?” attitude on the environment. “Defense” has meaning only in a military sense. The planet’s revenge, apparently, does not compute. But as scientific data mounts, others are taking a

Human error produced the New Orleans flood — huge flaws in Mississippi River levee projects built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and environmental negligence by government and oil companies that caused wetlands south of the city to erode. The lost wetlands gave tidal waves an open alley to the city. But the dynamics of this failure are national in scope. “The cost of a collapsing coast is one of fundamental survival,” says Mark Davis, outgoing director of the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, a Baton Rouge-based nonprofit that has worked on the issue for years. “What happened last year was also the failure of a value system. We assumed we had tamed the forces of nature,” Davis charges. “We need to understand that if we want there to be a New Orleans, or a Los Angeles, or a Miami, or a New York, 500 years from now, we can’t assume they’ll be there. We have to plan for them to be there. That’s why the rise in sea levels and freshwater management are so extraordinary.” Davis runs down a list of other cities — including San Francisco, Orlando and Atlanta — where rapid growth has overwhelmed environmental-defense planning. For its part, FEMA considers New Orleans, Miami and New York as the cities most vulnerable to hurricane disasters. More than a third of the 167 hurricanes that struck America in the last century hit Florida. Miami is about 3 feet above sea level, with a vast wetlands complex to the west. Beachfront development and a building boom have packed the area with >> 36A

and metropolitan areas along the Atlantic coast will do as ocean levels rise. For now, the Louisiana case is more severe; it stems in part from 20,000 miles of pipelines that crisscross the coastal floor to deliver oil and gas from offshore rigs. Many canals are long abandoned yet continue to erode and widen. Another factor in the mass sinkage is the impact of levees built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, developed in response to the Great Flood of 1927. Containing the Mississippi’s currents with stronger levees kept the city safe from the river but bottled up diversionary outlets. This drove streams of river silt into the Gulf rather than letting the sediment generate sluiceways to replenish tidal marshes. Starved of river nutrients and gouged by pipe excavations, the wetlands eroded and lower Louisiana began sinking. Nearly 25 percent of all the oil and gas consumed in America travels through Louisiana’s wetlands. Roughly a quarter of the nation’s seafood was generated from Louisiana’s coastal area before Katrina. Since 1932, the state has lost 1900 square miles of wetlands, an area larger than Rhode Island. Ten square miles disappear annually.

stands in jagged contrast to the scores of churches — from red states and blue — that sent members to the muddy city to gut houses, clean streets, and help people recover. As the administration withdrew from the Kyoto treaty and gutted the EPA, conservative Christian politicos betrayed the message of Genesis: that earth and waters are sacred. Some Pentecostal leaders have begun to speak out about global warming, however, fraying the edges of GOP unity. Through the winter, as members of Congress flew down to tour the dead neighborhoods, offering condolences, the Democrats failed to make an issue of Katrina: why the flood happened, and how to prevent future ones. Perhaps the prospect of a mass ecological breakdown is too much to bear for pols of any stripe. Apart from the environmental lobby, it was left to certain members of the media, and Al Gore, to stay on point. “Environmental defense” is not an issue in most people’s minds. The stirrings of a Louisiana plan to prevent future disasters are based on that idea, though no one is calling it that. Again, the implications are national in scope. On August 1, the Senate approved a bill by Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) that would give Louisiana and other Gulf states a 37.5 percent royalty on 8.3 million acres newly designated for drilling in the Gulf, estimated to provide $200 million annually over the next decade. A House bill by Rep. Bobby Jindal, a Republican who represents suburbs of New

Orleans, called for higher royalties that would net $2 billion a year. A compromise bill working through a House-Senate conference should give the state sorely needed funds for coastal erosion. For her part, Gov. Kathleen Blanco sued the federal Minerals Management Service — which grants leasing rights to private companies — to halt the new lease of oil and gas exploration in the Gulf, arguing that in the past the agency ignored environmental damage caused by offshore drilling. A guaranteed windfall in offshore royalties would give the state some leverage in shoring up erosion and preventing future destruction. On August 14, a federal judge denied Blanco’s request to halt the lease, but warned potential bidders that the state is likely to prevail on its argument, which could stop drilling on the leased tracts. The federal agency has a 90-day window in which to accept the bids — just about the time the scheduled trial should take. For now, there is no institutional mechanism to rebuild the eroding coastline. Mark Davis, the outgoing director of the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, says that “awareness is at an all-time high, but the decision-making apparatus is not there to do what needs to be done. It’s like watching a revival movement, with everyone talking about how good heaven is, but you don’t see a great shift in behavior as if people are planning to get there.” Davis, who has worked with everyone from bank presidents to shrimpers, faults a forest of

SEVEN DAYS | august 23-30, 2006 | feature 39A 2x3-JKoplewitz082306

red tape and inertia in Washington. Even if revenues materialize, the state lacks jurisdiction over levees and navigational structures — those fall under federal authority. “The state’s ability to change is not just a question of money,� he says. “Blanco has come to the realization that the state has to lead the federal government to the answers.� Davis credits Blanco for suing the minerals-management agency; she sent a message that the feds must participate in rebuilding the coast. What kind of institution should guide coastal restoration, and how do you pay for it? “A big problem with major environmental projects is that Congress authorizes funds that take forever to materialize,� says Davis. Delivery of authorized funding has lagged, for example, for a restoration of the Everglades, and in a California project to prevent flooding from the Sacramento River that threatens San Francisco Bay. Finding a dependable revenue stream is a big hurdle. Congressional committees have annual appropriations that go through endless negotiations over special interests every year. The Tennessee Valley Authority delivered electrification to the middle South during the Great Depression, as a federal agency. Couldn’t a similar agency rebuild Louisiana’s wetlands as part of an Atlantic coastal-protection agenda, with immunity from Congressional pork-barreling? Whatever the mechanism, it is long overdue. The only way to prevent the disaster scenarios that Gore, Tidwell and others have put before us is with a mass campaign to reduce global warming. Getting a national strategy is the toughest order, given the current mindset in Washington. A policy that rewards industry for cutting carbon-dioxide emissions, developing energy-efficient cars and homes and shifting the economy from dependency on fossil fuels may seem unreachable in this time of terrorism and oil wars. But the alternative is to sink deeper into the passivity of consumerism, to fill up for $5 a gallon, and to head for the heartland whenever the next big one comes, each of us carrying a memory of the flood. m Jason Berry is a New Orleans writer whose books include Lead Us Not Into Temptation, Vows of Silence and the upcoming novel Last of the Red Hot Poppas.

A proJORDAN fessional musician and writer for Vintage SILVERMAN Guitar magazine, he plays close to 400 gigs a year — most of them within Crescent City limits.

SEVEN DAYS: You were a Vermonter for many years; what made you decide to head to New Orleans? CHIP WILSON: I’d been interested in New Orleans music for a long time. My first exposure to it was a Champion Jack Dupree record. He was a blues piano player. And the Neville Brothers used to play here in Burlington, back before they were a known quantity. Those were some of the most amazing shows I’ve ever seen. My ex-wife wanted to move there, but I was reluctant at first because I felt pretty on top of things here in Burlington. But I’m very glad we made the decision. It’s amazing to be so close to the source of so much incredible music. The guys down there know hundreds and hundreds of songs. So when you move down, you might be a little behind the eightball. But people were very open and receptive — probably more than when I moved to Burlington in my early twenties. SD: Why is New Orleans’ musical culture so special? CW: Music is everywhere. I’ll never forget my first carnival season. I was living in almost a ghetto. Across the fence in another yard, I heard a little girl singing “Iko Iko.” She didn’t get that from Cyndi Lauper or the Grateful Dead. It was a part of her. I got chills when that happened. I felt I really did come home to someplace. SD: Some worry the reconstruction might result in the city being more like a Disney theme park than a cultural Mecca. Are these fears justified? CW: I’m less worried about it now than I was nine months ago. In terms of the music scene, a lot of people are gone, and possibly for good. Unfortunately, as vibrant as the scene is, it’s as flawed in the same ways as the city itself. Business is very casual, and there’s a tropical, mañana attitude. Some people were probably already tired of it. I thought about staying away; we all went

through that process. But I’m glad to return. I’m finding that my work is positive, and I have the nucleus of my career back.

federal government is responsible for the levee failure. That’s why we think that they should’ve bailed us out.

SD: During the storm, you were forced to evacuate with very few possessions. What was that like? CW: I left with two cats, one guitar and a change of clothes. I thought I’d be back in three or four days. Most of us did. Even seeing this massive thing coming

SD: You participated in a lot of post-Katrina benefits up here. How do you feel about Northeasterners’ response to the crisis? CW: I think Americans in general were incredibly generous, and Vermonters were no exception. There was the feeling of support

I left with two cats, one guitar and a change of clothes. I thought I’d be back in three or four days. CHIP WILSON across the Gulf on the Weather Channel, we had blinders on. SD: People have lived through a lot of that kind of weather down there. CW: I evacuated for Hurricane Ivan, and a couple of branches fell down. But I’ll evacuate again! SD: Where did you go when you split the city? CW: I went to my sister’s place in Massachusetts. She was the closest relative to me. For about five or six weeks I didn’t know if I still owned anything. My roof was kind of leaky already, and my neighborhood was severely looted. But a cousin of mine had a friend in the National Guard go by and look it over, and he said it didn’t seem broken into. I could’ve moved back in, but none of the places I worked were open. SD: A lot of the venues were hit hard, then? CW: Some. Other places are in the French Quarter, which suffered only marginal damage. It’s kind of the highest part of New Orleans, which is why it was originally settled. A lot of those buildings have been through decades and decades of hurricanes. SD: Watching the events unfold from afar, how did you feel about the government’s response? CW: I was very lucky, because there was no cable TV at my sister’s, which is 2 miles out on a dirt road. I went from being in the French Quarter with a guitar on my back every day to living with chickens, sheep and a horse. I couldn’t obsess over CNN, and that was probably good for my mental health. I was appalled by what the city government did, or didn’t, do; I was appalled by how long it took the feds to get in there. The state government of Texas got in quickest, and they’re still dealing with ex-New Orleans residents. They’re worried about crime in Houston. The good thing is that we got busted for so many things that were wrong. The corruption in the Louisiana state government goes back a long time. A lot of stuff the politicians used to get away with, they can’t be so breezy about now. That said, the Army Corps of Engineers and, by extension, the

as well as logistical and financial assistance. In times like that, you really see the best of our country. SD: There has been effort by outsiders to help NOLA musicians get back on track. The Edge from U2 had an instrument-replacement program, and I heard Brian Wilson was making personal calls to people who donated a certain amount of money. What benefits have you witnessed? CW: Well, Habitat for Humanity is building a musicians’ village. I went and took a look at it. There’s really something amazing about seeing 250 volunteers out in the tropical sun hammering together houses for people just like me. And I know lots of people who got instruments. They’re very grateful, and they’ll tell you that. SD: Now that you’re settling back in, what can you say about the music community as it stands today? CW: It’s definitely starting to come back. I first went down last fall, and one of the most touching things I saw were some friends of mine playing traditional jazz in a place that had never had live music. It gave me a great feeling. There’s the sense that musicians are truly valuable. SD: The media is still portraying much of the city in a crippled light. How bad is it, really? CW: It’s pretty bad. But the parts of town that people want to go to are still viable. And other parts of town are coming back. Places that used to feel like ghost towns now have activity. SD: Is there any bright side to the devastation? CW: One thing that I really feel is that the people who live there are very grateful when people like me come back. I can only say that because so many people have told me. I’d go see musicians that I was only somewhat acquainted with — maybe we’d have done a couple of gigs together. When one guy saw me at the French Quarter fest, he jumped off the stage and threw his arms around me. Musicians are loved and respected in New Orleans; we get to go in through the front door. That feeling alone is enough for me to go back. m

A band comprising several former Vermonters returns to Burlington for a show at Club Metronome on Thursday, August 24. Unlikely Cowboy, an alt-country act with an indie-rock pedigree, will join up with local pals Carrigan and Plattsburgh post-rockers Resonator for an evening of highly varied music. Members of UC were formerly in The Dakota, for whom yours truly once played guitar. That band played mathUNLIKELY COWBOY’S WADSWORTH, SCHWARTZ & VICK rock with space-prog leanings — in other words, not exactly twang-centric. Founders Dan Schwartz, Andy Vick and Peter Burton headed back to their hometown of Philadelphia a few years ago, where they picked up new players and signed to the Ghetto Crush Industries label. I’d already packed it in well before that. Who can remember why? Oh, yeah, being in a band is a living nightmare. Or maybe it’s just me. Sadly, the group broke up on the eve of the completion of what was to be their big-time debut. But instead of moping, the fellas threw their energies into what had until then been a side project. UC also features ex-Burlingtonian Allison Wadsworth, who goes way back with the other dudes. Both she and Schwartz handle vocals, with Vick on drums and Burton on keys. Rounding out the lineup are electric guitarist Eric Hickey and bassist Damien Mason. The bandmates are about to release their Ghetto Crush debut, Desperate Acts Pay Off. They’re already midway through its follow-up, which is being tracked at Medeski & the Itch and Pnuma Trio will bridge the gap between hip-hop heroes The Roots’ personal studio.

FAIR GAME Last year’s Champlain Valley Fair booked several local rock acts in the curiously named “Awesome Zone,” which was located in a barn-like building somewhere off-midway. Unsurprisingly, many folks didn’t even know it was there. I went to see one of the shows and had some difficulty locating it myself. Things should be a bit different this year, now that organizers have moved the concerts a little closer to the action. The lineup is pretty diverse, with a little something for everybody. The shows, co-sponsored by Burlington’s Big Heavy World, run from August 26 through September 4. Each act will play three sets, at 8, 9 and 10 p.m., after which they’ll no doubt collapse in an exhausted heap. Scheduled performers include Timeless, Aaron Flinn, Fire the Cannons, Lobot, Waiting for a Miracle, My Revenge, Drive the Hour, James Kochalka Superstar, Caracalla and Close to Nowhere. Visit www.BigHeavyWorld.com/RockTheFair for the full skinny.

SUPERSTARS ON THE BAYOU Next week marks the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. New Orleans residents have made a lot of progress towards repairing their city, but they could likely use some cheering up. Enter Burlington rock eccentrics James Kochalka Superstar. Last Friday, the band brought its revved-up, left-of-center rock ’n’ roll to the legendary Crescent City venue Tipitina’s. Also on the bill were indie-poppers Elf Power (who play Higher Ground on September 26), Miho Hatori (ex-Cibo Matto), The Ladytron and Jay Bennett, who rather un-amicably left Wilco a few years back. Haven’t talked to any of the guys in JKS since, but I’m sure the show was nothing short of awesome.

reviewthis GUAGUA, PAN FRITO

RICK REDINGTON & THE LUV MACHINE, MOTHER EARTH

(Self-released, CD)

(Self-released, CD) Central Vermont-based singer, guitarist and songwriter Rick Redington is a genuinely nice guy. Makes me wish I could say all nice things about his fourth solo album, Mother Earth. I can say a couple. The second half of the album is definitely stronger than the first. And Redington plays some fine acoustic guitar throughout, although he’s better off picking than strumming Hootie & the Blowfish-style chords. Redington produced the disc himself, and it sounds crisp and professional. Still, an outside producer might’ve helped. Artists often need someone to separate the gems from the clunkers. In Redington’s case, this might have resulted in eight or nine of his strongest cuts being featured and the rest set aside. A producer can get the best vocal takes as well. Redington has a solid voice, but it can be uneven. He even goes flat on some of the early tracks — not a great way to start a record. He’s at his best on closing cut “Right Where You Belong,” on which his singing ranges from a James Taylor-ish croon to a Charlie Daniels-esque growl. Unfortunately, the song fades too abruptly, as if he tried to cram too much onto the disc and ran out of space. There are other standouts, however. The piano-based “Blink of an Eye” provides some of Mother Earth’s sweetest moments. But at a mere 2-and-a-half minutes, it feels too short. The acoustic instrumental “Frosty” features some crafty guitar and mandolin work by Redington. It would’ve been nice to hear more of this kind of thing. With the exception of a few choice numbers, the album consists largely of pleasant but pedestrian country-rock. Here’s hoping that, next time, Redington crafts songs that stand out a bit more.

MIKE LUOMA

Burlington’s “psychotropical” ensemble Guagua have just released the local jazz album of the year. Recorded last winter, Pan Frito is a shining example of the musical talent in these here hills. The 12member band trades in all-original Latin jazz with strong Caribbean overtones. It’s an exuberant sound that’s artful and unique. Led by guitarist Geoff Kim, the group features some of the finest musicians in the Green Mountain jazz community. Many of ’em are far younger than their playing would suggest. Guagua’s ranks include trumpeter Alex Toth, saxophonist Annakalmia Traver, pianist Shane Hardiman, guitarist Raphael Groten, conga player Keith Levenson, percussionists Carla Kevorkian and Gail Hagenbach, timbale player Twa Mercer, bassist John Thompson-Figuerosa, flutist Dominique Gagne and trombonist Andrew Moroz. Several of these players perform regularly around town in various configurations. Guagua’s seemingly eternal Tuesday-night residency at Burlington’s Radio Bean has honed the band’s chops to perfection. There’s nary a note out of place, even when the music embraces improv. Each song is a treat, loaded with inventive melodies and rhythmic shifts. Pan Frito has it all, from saucy Brazilian beats to lounge-ready chill-outs. Highlights include the suavely mellow “Samba Nova” and the playfully sly grooves of the title track. In between there’s “Calypso #1,” which features entrancing percussion and a prominent hook. I detected a Cuban influence in “Radio Frijol.” Its minor-key licks recall Batista-era nightclubs and men in white fedoras. Guagua aren’t afraid to take Latin music out on a limb, as “Eastern Sun” demonstrates. The song opens with a haze of wah-wah tones that sound a bit like the intro to Miles Davis’ In a Silent Way. Soon, cyclical percussion and an insistent staccato note join the gooey guitar. Horns weave through the mix like pythons as the music swells and recedes. It’s surprisingly avant-garde, and remarkably listenable. The melodies on “Open Road” are unrushed, resulting in a truly graceful piece of music. It’s a fantastic close to an album with too many choice moments to recount. What makes Guagua great is their sense of adventure. It’d be all too easy to serve up reheated bossa; instead, the band offers interesting new textures and melodic combinations, all while honoring tradition. The results are wonderful.

TAKING NOTE OF VISUAL VERMONT

Digital Delight

I PHOTO Jordan Silverman “Landscapes: Vermont/Italy (and New Jersey),” computer-manipulated images by S.P. Goodman. Pine Street Art Works, Burlington. Through August.

rony abounds in Steve Goodman’s gloomily beautiful show at Pine Street Art Works. Trained as a painter, the South Burlington artist uses 21st-century digital technology to create images that resemble 19thcentury daguerreotypes. Some are sepia-toned or gussied up with decorative flourishes, accentuating the aged or old-timey quality Goodman seeks to impart to his art. Through imaginative applications of Photoshop’s properties, he also transforms sunny-sky snapshots into dark and moody scenes that suggest the influence of American painter J.M. Whistler’s Nocturnes. Goodman says he regards himself as a “traditionalist,” even though the process culminating in the 20 or so works included in “Landscapes:

Eventually, the newness of digital work will wear off and the work will have to be judged on its own. STEVE GOODMAN

Vermont/Italy (and New Jersey)” is as contemporary as it can be. He is using his nontraditional medium to develop a unique visual vocabulary. The 51-year-old UVM alumnus further sees himself as a “composer assembling parts,” rather than a photographer manipulating whatever his camera captures. He also doesn’t think of his pieces as paintings, despite the year he spent at L’Ecole des Beaux Arts in Brest, France, early in his career. And please don’t refer to him as a computer artist. While acknowledging that his pieces “could only be done using the computer as a tool,” he stresses, “That’s all the computer is — a tool. “It’s been difficult to characterize my work because the medium is new and still evolving,” Goodman continues. “Eventually, the newness of digital work will wear off and the work will have to be judged on its own.” Most of the unframed printouts hanging in the Pine Street gallery integrate abstract and representational elements. Goodman’s work will thus strike viewers as simultaneously straightforward and mysterious. Which is why he puts the California painter Richard Diebenkorn (19221993) at the top of his list of artistic heroes. “I just love the way he’s abstract and realistic at the same time,” Goodman says. “That’s not at all easy for a painter to do.” In the “Hopewell” series included

STEVE GOODMAN

in the show, photographs shot from his brother-in-law’s home in New Jersey have been given a painterly look, with washed-over sections of the images seeming to have been produced by brushstrokes. These textured passages blur the sky and wooded landscape in ways both austere and luxuriant. Similar, though even more radical, results are seen in his “Italian tree series.” Here, what may be cypresses have been cast in purples and browns to the point where they look like mountain peaks, or simply jagged shapes on which semi-legible cursive has been scrawled. Goodman achieves these distinctive effects by starting with photos of landscapes, buildings, his own paintings and incidental objects such as scratched sauté pans. He then goes about “building up layers” and cobbling together combinations using his keyboard and mouse. Decorative doodads such as dots and colored squares are sometimes added as well. When he decides a work is finished — and it isn’t always obvious when that point has been reached, Goodman says — the manipulated image will often have acquired a multidimensional character. And that seems anomalous, because Goodman says he likes to keep his surfaces flat. “I’m not trying to produce depth or perspective,” he insists. The final product is then printed out. Transferring one of his images from the computer screen to paper is an expensive proposition, with each print costing up to $100. But that’s less than it used to be, Goodman points out, noting that the printing paper has also become “more archivally sound” — meaning that the image will remain sharp for a longer period of time. Still, the price of production is one reason why Goodman keeps his day job. He’s worked for the past 25 years as a graphic designer at Laureate Learning Systems, a Winooski firm that makes educational software for children with cognitive or developmental disabilities. A gallery in Manhattan and two in Vermont represent him, and he’ll soon debut a show in Philadelphia, but none of this enables him to earn a living solely as an artist.

INTERVALE SERIES #1

In keeping with his paradoxical approach, Goodman has a low opinion of computer art in general. Much of it is “amateurish,” he says. “I’m not into 3-D or videos. Because I’m coming out of a painting background, I want my work to be hung on a wall — matted or framed.” At the same time, Goodman defends the aesthetic integrity of computer-generated art. Some critics “have a hurdle to get over in their perception that this technology is inherently cold. No one has that issue with movies, though.” The computer also allows him to be much more creative than does the paintbrush, he adds. “I can experiment now in ways I couldn’t with painting. I’m totally unafraid to make mistakes because they can be fixed so easily. I find painting incredibly frustrating in comparison.” Another advantage offered by the computer is that it allows him to work in short bursts. That proved particularly attractive when his daughter and two sons were still children, Goodman notes. “I could spend 20 minutes at a time on a computer piece and come back to it

later at no loss. With a painting, you need two to three hours of sustained attention.” He’s never entirely given up on painting, however. “There’s something about the texture of paint that keeps pulling me back,” he explains. In fact, four small, dreamily swirling paintings are included in the Pine Street show. Along with his choice of media, Goodman’s art has evolved stylistically over the years as well. Text used to be an integral part of his computer compositions, and the words often conveyed a clear political meaning — opposition to the war in Iraq, for example. Goodman moved away from that format because, he says, “I wanted my work to be a little more universal, less tied to a particular moment.” He isn’t sure where he’s going next in his art. “One thing does lead to another,” Goodman suggests. “You can see that when you look at the career of someone like Picasso or Matisse. But for myself, it’s hard to predict. Besides, being an artist means you can do whatever you want.” m

I EXHIBIT Maria Chomentowski, large-scale paintings addressing sociopolitical issues. Rose Street Gallery, Burlington. Through August.

ARTWORK Paintings by Maria Chomentowski

f you saw a tall, dark-haired woman on Church Street selling little medicine bottles full of water during a torrential thunderstorm this summer, you were witnessing a performance piece by Burlington artist Maria Chomentowski. In hawking an element that nature so abundantly provided, she was wryly commenting on the absurd excesses of commercialism. A painter as well as a performance artist, Chomentowski has a subtle social conscience, and her current exhibition at Burlington’s Rose Street Gallery isn’t the kind of activist art that knocks viewers over the head. She simply gathers disparate materials and images into an organized theme to provide a gentle reminder of social injustice in the world. Chomentowski paints on unstretched canvas, as well as burlap bags — torn up and reassembled — that she has scrounged from a local coffee shop. In an email she explains: “I like using the burlap because it has the aura of having been touched by people and traveled from place to place. The words on the bags gave me the idea to research more about trade and border issues.” “My Shirt Hangs Here” is a roughly 10-by-8-foot, irregularly shaped vestment worn in several of Chomentowski’s performances — including a protest at General Dynamics Armament Systems in Burlington’s South End. Several of her burlap “body puppets” also appear in this show. Musician Bonnie Anderson, playing Brazilian percussion instruments, collaborated in

many of the performances. Chomentowski notes, “We used the bags and shirt as objects in which to start expanding on ideas. In some pieces, one of us got into the bags and the other dragged it away, or one of us rolled up in the shirt.” She painted the shirt in abstract, particolored designs, and sewed the burlap pieces together with gaudily colored yarn. Chomentowski lived in Mexico for several years, so it’s no surprise that the fresco muralists of that country influ-

yellow sewing machines have an ethereal, dreamy quality and are defined by lyrical contour lines. Perhaps a sweatshop worker is dreaming of safer equipment and better working conditions? Whatever the source of Chomentowski’s inspiration, it certainly isn’t sterile, academic formalism. The images in her large-scale paintings are associative rather than rigidly descriptive. Several of her smaller, nonobjective pieces, however, can be enjoyed as purely decorative. The 24-by-24-inch

Chomentowski gathers disparate materials and images into an organized theme to gently remind viewers of social injustice. enced her forms and colors. Just as José Clemente Orozco’s “The Epic of American Civilization” murals, installed at Dartmouth College, are based on a judicious use of hues surrounded by gray tonalities, Chomentowski’s 72-by84-inch “Labyrinth” is a field of folded forms defined by black, white and gray. Only a few passages of primary colors enliven the work. “No Unions Allowed” is a 72-by-78inch, fantasmagorical still life portraying four sewing machines floating in a blue atmosphere. Painted on unstretched canvas and hung with grommets, its surface is smoother than those of other works in the show. The green, red and

“Almost” has a painterly flood of colors — rose, white, yellow and Prussian blue — pushed around the picture plane by energetic scratches and churning brushstrokes. Chomentowski brought 25 pounds of black sand back from a sojourn in Bali, and has added some of it to her paint in several of the works here. The sand gives her textures a rich, sparkly quality. Chomentowski is currently working toward an MFA at Vermont College. Academe typically and appropriately challenges students to become more cerebral, but one hopes that, in the process, this artist will not abandon her visceral responses to the world. m

theborowitzreport BUSH LOWERS EXPECTATIONS ON IRAQ TO MODERATE FIASCO

P

erhaps in response to the steady drumbeat of bad news coming out of Iraq, President George W. Bush today attempted to lower expectations about the situation there, telling reporters at a White House briefing that the bestcase scenario for Iraq is now “a moderate fiasco.” Mr. Bush acknowledged some errors in judgment about the war, including posing in front of a banner that said “Mission Accomplished” when it should have said “Mission Impossible.” But he lashed out at critics who called the invasion of Iraq a total fiasco, saying, “If we continue to make progress at the rate we are going, we will have a moderate fiasco on our hands.” The somewhat more sober assessment of the situation in Iraq comes just days after a new poll was released showing that a

majority of Americans now hope that the Bush presidency turns out to be a dream sequence. According to the survey, 57 percent of those polled say they wish the last five years turn out

most Americans now wish his presidency was imaginary, but said that he did not regret invading Iraq even though no weapons of mass destruction existed.

If we continue to make progress at the rate we are going, we will have a moderate fiasco on our hands.

Mr. Bush

to be “just a weird dream,” while 51 percent hold out hope that their mothers will come wake them up and tell them it is time for school. At the press briefing, Mr. Bush acknowledged that

“I’ll go further than that,” he said. “I would still invade Iraq even if Iraq never existed.” Elsewhere, scientists said a huge object once thought to be a new planet is actually the singer Britney Spears. m

Snakes on a Plane HHH

W BAD CALL Jackson phones in his performance as an FBI agent who runs into high-altitude trouble.

ell, what did we expect? For well over a year the Internet has been buzzing about this picture, based on nothing more than its high-concept title. The level of fandom itself became such a phenomenon that the producers of the movie even took the advice of bloggers and chatters in making their final tweaks to it. It was as anticipated a film as any to grace the Cineplex this summer. And now it’s here. So what is there to be said? Yes, there are snakes. And yes, they’re on a plane. We’ve gotten precisely what we’ve paid for, and yet disappointment hangs in the air like a deployed oxygen mask. What did we expect? I’ll tell you what I expected: that the filmmakers were in on the joke; that they understood the public perceived Snakes on a Plane to be a transcendentally tacky, tongue-in-cheek exercise — a sort of postmodern in-joke spin on the cheesy exploitation films of yore. Even with all the blogging and chatting, however, no one appears to have informed director David R. Ellis that his project was pre-hailed as a deliberately trashy funfest. Rather, he gives the impression much of the time of having attempted to make a straightforward action film, with barely a whiff of self-parody or irony. After all, what actually happens once FBI agent Samuel L. Jackson escorts star witness Nathan Phillips onto the 747 that will carry them from Hawaii to Los Angeles so that they can put a ruthless gangster behind bars? A time-activated container in the craft’s cargo hold releases a bazillion deadly reptiles of every conceivable variety, which, having been exposed to pheromones by members of the mobster’s gang, slither directly up to the passenger deck and proceed to sink their fangs into every conceivable variety of human body part. One woman is bitten on her bare breast. One fellow is bitten as he relieves himself in the john. You can guess where. Another woman takes one in the eye socket. Never have so many been bitten so fast and furiously with such diminishing results. Ellis doesn’t seem to have comprehended that, by frontloading the gore, he rapidly desensitizes his audience to it. He would have been wiser, I think, to follow Spielberg’s Jaws model: Let suspense build and reveal his terrors bit by bit. Instead, he packs most of the mayhem into the opening moments of the onslaught, leaving little for his characters to

do throughout the remainder of the movie but scamper from one part of the aircraft to another erecting makeshift barriers from luggage and anything else at hand. Nothing terribly tongue-in-cheek about that. If Chuck Norris, rather than Jackson, had been cast as the FBI agent, this thing would likely have gone directly to video. At the same time, the star isn’t given much to do that is very Samuel L. Jackson-y. He tells passengers not to panic. He tells his witness not to leave a secure area. He tells agents on the ground to round up a snake expert so victims will have the appropriate antivenom treatments waiting for them in L.A. Except for Tasering the occasional cobra or rattlesnake, he makes few moves you wouldn’t expect from a rookie sky marshal. The supporting cast is the sort of mixed bag of onedimensional types you find in disaster films such as Airport, but, again, nothing more. It’s not a twist on them, just another one of them. There’s a famous singer, a couple who can’t keep their hands off each other, a young Beverly Hills woman who carries her chihuahua in her bag, and a pair of small boys flying alone for the first time. They’re like character types picked at random from a hat. And then there are the snakes. I have a question about this: How is it that, over the years, Hollywood computer artists have worked out how to animate realistic dinosaurs, jungle animals, dragons, sharks, mythological creatures, mutant space bugs and giant apes, but still can’t produce a simple serpent that doesn’t look like a cartoon? There are supposedly a number of real snakes mixed in with the computergenerated horde, but all the ones I saw looked like something whipped up in an introductory CGI workshop. Next year it will be a full decade since the release of Anaconda. What’s it going to take for us to see advances in this field? Government funding? A telethon? So, did we get what we expected from Snakes on a Plane? Maybe you did. I didn’t. I expected something more than an excuse for a great movie title. I expected a great, cheesy, tacky time. What I got was a routine air-disaster film that never quite took off. m

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

The Reel World

Montréal World Film Festival, August 24 September 4. Info, www.ffm montreal.org or 514-848-3883. Free festival schedules are available at six Vermont locations. Burlington area: Seven Days, 255 South Champlain Street; Burlington College, 95 North Avenue; Community College of Vermont, 119 Pearl Street; and Waterfront Video, 370 Shelburne Road. Middlebury: Waterfront Video, 2 Maple Street. Montpelier: Savoy Theater, 26 Main Street.

relatives from afar began joining her in 2000. “It’s become an extended family reunion,” Maccario says. “We all stay at the same apartment-hotel on Sherbrooke. At breakfast the first morning, we have a little workshop with graph paper, Magic Markers and colored dots to create our schedule.” The ritual helps them sort through a wealth of options. We have different interests: music, work, Asia, the Mideast, Italy, cultural change, politics, women’s rights, social justice,” Maccario notes, “The festival always has something for each of us.” The 2006 Montréal lineup appears to be equally accommodating, with 76 nations represented by a diverse array of 165 features, 51 full-length documentaries and 194 shorts. Such farfrom-Hollywood spots as Lithuania, Haiti, Sri Lanka, Bosnia-Herzogovina, Mozambique and Ecuador account for some of the fare. Here are a few suggestions, though, to address the specific categories devised by Maccario’s clan: The music is classical in Fugue, a drama from Chile and Argentina about a psychologically troubled composer whose unfinished score is stolen by a lesser talent. When it comes to work, The Journey concerns a famous Indian author who thinks about the characters he has created while en route to

accept a literary prize in Delhi. Asia offers numerous choices. The South Korean Running Wild, for example, is the tale of a jaded detective and a by-the-book prosecutor teaming up to catch a crime boss. To focus on the Mideast, perhaps The Yacoubian Building from Egypt is a good bet. It’s about the stresses and strains of secular society in contemporary Cairo.

true story during the repressive Franco dictatorship in 1974, Salvador remembers the last prisoner of conscience ever marked for execution in Spain. Women’s rights are addressed in Mosso, the Last Matriarchy, a Chinese doc about a unique ethnic population in Yunan and a young girl among them who is desperate to modernize.

For a few days we see the world through the eyes of directors from many countries. DIANNE MACCARIO

Maccario’s career in academia may be reason enough for her to see one particular comedy from Italy: In The Night Before Finals, a student decides that an English professor is his nemesis. Cultural change probably figures in Our Earthmen Friends, the festival’s opening-night film. This French satire is framed as a mockumentary shot by extraterrestrials examining the differences between humans in their natural habitat and those living in captivity. Politics? No problem. Based on a

Social justice is implicit in Holly, a U.S. indie that follows a man trying to rescue a Vietnamese girl sold into sexual slavery in Cambodia. Maccario doesn’t flinch at tackling the frequently dark themes in a festival with a truly global perspective. “For a few days we see the world through the eyes of directors from many countries,” she says. But if celluloid gloom becomes overwhelming, this year her contingent can seek solace in the Latin Quarter’s bohemian joie de vivre. m

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.

Please stop saying “Artic” circle for ARCTIC CIRCLE. The BLACK WIDOW virus turns your screen to black windows. Some uniquely talented souls live on NORTH SHORE Drive. Mahi-mahi is a sort of RED HERRING vis-à-vis dolphin fish. INDIAN PUDDING was a fun dessert until we all got sick of it. Viking vessels wobbled in the waters of the BERING STRAIT. Cuban-Chinese cuisine overlaps with CARIBBEAN-CREOLE. If the BALTIC STATES are apples, the Balkan States are oranges. A swarm of YELLOW JACKETS can sting unforgettably. ANDAMAN ANDAMANIAN is part Indian and part Armenian. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS WATER. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 63A. 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: It’s hard to tell where one ends and another begins.

A

s a decade-long devotee of the Montréal World Film Festival, Montpelier resident Dianne Maccario will finally be able to merge her passion for motion pictures with la vie bohème. The 30th-annual cinematic extravaganza, which runs from August 24 through September 4, is venturing into the fabled Quartier Latin for the first time. Three theaters in this nonconformist neighborhood around Rue Saint-Denis will now replace the Parisien, a venue in a less appealing part of the city that normally anchors the event. Good-bye, tacky souvenir stands and that shoe store displaying thighhigh, stiletto-heeled boots favored by ladies of the night. Hello, cafés, boutiques, bookshops and a vegetarian restaurant that’s simply magnifique. Granted, films will continue to screen downtown at the Imperial, an Art Déco palace, as well as at the elegant Maisonneuve. But the fest’s new map significantly shortens the dreary trek along a seedy section of SaintCatherine. Maccario, academic services coordinator at Community College of Vermont in Burlington, says she looks forward to familiarizing herself with the hipper terrain. Involved in organizing Montpelier’s Green Mountain Film Festival for many years, she initially made the late-summer trips to Montréal with local friends. Various

Below are credits from a recent film that featured several wellknown performers, had a big-name director and got lots of publicity. What it didn’t have was much success at the box office. In fact, it came and went so fast we challenge you to even remember its name.

FICKLE FANNY ANSWER: Each begins with the name of an ocean or sea.

FROM KATY: Sometimes I wish I could go back 20 years and watch myself at the little Healthy Living in the Blue Mall. What was I up to? All I remember is a dark little store with a few brave customers. I was working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, unloading trucks, stocking shelves and going home tired but convinced that people wanted my store to be there. There were a bunch of rocky years where I struggled every day to figure it all out, but I kept going! I had one employee and that seemed like a HUGE responsibility. But I was sure that I loved food, customers and the day-to-day life of a natural foods market. I was happy! Twenty years later, there are 90 of us working at Healthy Living. I think I’ve figured out some of it! My son, Eli, works with me and I am happier than ever. And we’re in the planning stages of our new incarnation: 30,000 square feet right on Dorset Street. Everything you’ve always loved about Healthy Living in a dynamic new space. We’re excited! Thank you, staff, customers, truck drivers, farmers and vendors for 20 great years of business! — Katy Lesser

FRIDAY 25

MEN IN TIGHTS Lots of little girls long to be ballerinas, but why aren’t more guys doing glissades? Parents who want to show their kids the manly side of dance can take them to Zig Zag Ballet’s program of male soloists from various companies. Acts include Connecticut-based salsa trio Los Rumberos, Japanese hip-hopper Kenichi Ebina, New York-based comedy company Les Ballets Grandivas, rhythm tappers and a capoeirista specializing in Brazil’s dance-like martial art. Thomas Baird, a world-renowned Baroque specialist, reconstructs a ballet solo from the court of Louis XIV, and multiple men dance en pointe, in toe shoes. “American boys are just responding to hip-hop at this point, and maybe a little ballroom,” says Zig Zag’s artistic director Brett Raphael. “We need to change that.”

‘A CELEBRATION OF MEN IN DANCE’ Friday, August 25, Harwood Union School, South Duxbury, 7:30 p.m. $15. Info, 496-6682. www.vermontartfest.com www.connecticutballet.com

scene@CHUCK AND JANN’S 50TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY 80 SOUTH COVE ROAD, BURLINGTON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 3 P.M. When I was growing up in Burlington’s South End, 80 South Cove Road was always a novelty to me. A large yellow house with playful eccentricities — such as the two giant sculptures of skiers in the front yard — the Perkins residence is certainly noticeable among the muted modern homes that line the lakeshore. When I saw an ad in the Free Press last week advertising a golden-anniversary bash in my neighborhood for “Jann and Chuck,� I hadn’t the faintest idea who they were. Their printed pictures rang no bells. But when I read further, I knew that they must be Jann and Chuck Perkins, founders of the Alpine Shop — because theirs was the only house that could live up to the promise of horse-and-buggy rides, a catered chicken dinner and music provided by The Starline Rhythm Boys. The same folks whose waterslide and pool I had admired as a kid were having one hell of a bash. Though the ad welcomed “friends,� I wondered if other people (strangers?) might try to horn in on the Perkins’ happiness. Saturday’s dreary weather tripped up plans for many an air-show enthusiast, but when I stopped by 80 South Cove Road to peek at the party, nobody seemed to be minding the intermittent rain. Children were lining up excitedly for the carriage rides. The Starline Rhythm Boys were set up outside the garage playing perfect summer honky-tonk, and groups of talkative partygoers were scattered around the backyard. A woman holding a baby came up and asked me if I needed any help. She was clearly in charge of bouncing party crashers, and though she offered to fetch Jann to chat with me, I got cold feet and slipped away. Too bad. I found out later what I’d missed: Chuck and Jann clad in formal attire, making their grand entrance in a horse and buggy; Chuck dressed in Western wear, taking the buggy’s reins himself; the happy couple holding hands and jumping into the pool — fully clothed. If I’d stuck around long enough, I also would have been included in Jann and Chuck’s invitation for everyone to come back and celebrate their next big anniversary — their 75th, in 2031.

MORE THAN WORDS

Summer culture seekers can reap a verdant garden of verse this weekend, at an annual outdoor reading by prominent poets. The two-day roster reads like a who’s who of Vermont versifiers: Martha Zweig, Judith Kane, Samn Stockwell, David Hinton, Jim Schley and David Budbill take the podium on Saturday, and Phyllis Larrabee, Merry Gangemi, Julie Enszer, Peggy Sapphire, Cora Brooks, Grace Paley and Susan Thomas share their work on Sunday. Early arrivals can sweeten the deal with a “cream tea� of fresh scones, homemade jam and china cups of British-style brew. The readings are free, but donations benefit the pacifist American Friends’ Service Committee, which Paley and several other poets actively support.

PLOT POINTS

Food shortages aren’t unusual in wartime, but “forewarned is forearmed.� During WWI and WWII, the U.S. government encouraged self-reliant citizens to pitch in with pitchforks by planting “victory gardens,� growing food for household consumption. (Boosting backyard produce eased the demand on commercial supplies, which then went more cheaply to troops overseas.) Lawns were turned into veggie patches, pamphlets promoted canning, and President Wilson grazed sheep on the White House lawns. The Brownell Library hosts a memory-swapping get-together where area residents recall their families’ flourishing beans, carrots, tomatoes and other items that didn’t come from a supermarket shelf. Bring homegrown veggies to snack on, if you’ve got ’em.

FAIR PLAY

Summer has to end sometime. But folks who want to squeeze in a bit more warm-weather fun and absorb some local color before the fall can head to the Champlain Valley Fair. Along with the main stage concerts, motor sport showdowns and midway rides, fairgoers can see sheep shearing, oxen pulls and perfect-complexioned cows. The greenhouse’s hotly contested heavyweight vegetable competition prompts passersby to speculate on who’ll get the blue — last year’s winning pumpkin topped a ton. Outside, members of a pirate-themed high-dive act walk the plank, and a roving quick-sketch artist hands out complimentary caricatures from a bicycle-powered cartoon car. And, of course, there are always the racing pigs.

CHAMPLAIN VALLEY FAIR Saturday, August 26, through Monday, September 4, Champlain Valley Exposition, Essex Junction, 10 a.m. - midnight. Admission $10, parking $4. Info, 878-5545. www.cvfair.com

L RE A

AUGUST 24-30

ARIES

(March 21-April 19): “Baksheesh” is a term derived from the Persian term for “gift.” Among travelers in the Third World, it has several meanings, among which are these: (1) bribes paid to authorities to get them to stop hassling you; (2) tips given to strangers who insist on being of assistance by, say, opening a door for you even if you don’t want them to. I believe baksheesh will soon serve as an apt metaphor for you, Aries. Be ready to offer compensation to people in order to get them to both stop bothering you and stop “helping” you. (P.S.: The compensation you give may not necessarily be in the form of cash. It could be flattery, presents or useful information.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The biggest food fight on the planet will soon take place. More than 20,000 lunatic combatants will gather in the Spanish town of Buñol to hurl 45 tons of overripe tomatoes and other veggies at each other. Maybe you should book a flight there, Taurus. You’d do yourself a big favor by indulging in senseless but harmless mayhem that allows you to lose control in the name of fun. Nothing would be more healing than a big dose of maniacal fervor.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Russ Kick searches for messy facts that lie halfhidden beneath the official versions of reality. In his two volumes entitled 50 Things You’re Not Supposed to Know, he reveals, for example, that most corporations don’t pay federal income taxes, George Washington embezzled government money, a third of all American homeless men are military veterans, and Shakespeare filled his plays with sexual references. Russ Kick is your role model, Gemini. May he inspire you to find out about at least three things you’re not “supposed” to know. May you adopt his brazen approach as you breeze in to off-limits areas to get the scoop on tantalizing truths that have been missing in action.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Throughout history there have been secret schools that don’t advertise their existence. To enroll, students must either be invited or

else stumble on them by chance. In postRenaissance Europe, for example, Rosicrucian mystery schools taught an esoteric form of Christianity at odds with the Church. Seventeenth-century English poet Andrew Marvell and his cohorts had their underground School of the Night, and ancient Greek poet Sappho stealthily gathered young women at her Moisopholon, “House of the Muses.” In recent years the Sexy Bratty Genius School has periodically convened classes at 3 a.m. under a highway overpass in San Francisco. According to my reading of the current omens, Cancerian, you’re close to making contact with a similar source of teaching. Whether you end up actually matriculating depends on how you answer the question, “Do you want to learn about things you’ve considered impossible?”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Psychologists Ed Diener and Martin E.P. Seligman cite 150 studies that suggest economic factors have little to do with happiness levels. For example, the Masai of Kenya, whose per capita income is under $300 a year, are as satisfied with their lives as the 400 wealthiest plutocrats in America. People living in the slums of Calcutta are slightly less filled with wellbeing, but not much. Your assignment, Leo, is to explore the personal implications of this. Can you get to the point where you truly feel that your ability to enjoy life has little to with how much money you have?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Philosopher George Gurdjieff declared that most of us are essentially asleep, even as we walk around in broad daylight. We’re ignorant about the higher levels of awareness we’re capable of; we’re blind to the continuous flow of life’s miraculous blessings. He said that in order to wake up and stay awake we need regular shocks. Some of these are uncomfortable, forcing us to face our own stupidity. But other shocks are delightful. They’re doses of sacred medicine that entice us to shake off our sleepiness and come to attention in pleasurable ways. I believe that in the coming weeks you’ll be offered a steady supply of the latter.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): At the BFD concert near San Francisco in June, Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ lead singer Karen O screamed for two minutes and 17 seconds straight. (I timed it.) I recommend that you set aside some quality time in the next two weeks to experiment with big outbreaks of self-expression that resemble hers. It’s the Purge and Purify Season for you — a time when you should indulge in high-spirited activities that exorcise your demons, wash your brain, and incite toe-curling, sweatinducing, soul-animating catharses.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An artist in Santa Fe, New Mexico, built a replica of England’s famous Stonehenge. But instead of using huge slabs of rock to mimic the original, Adam Horowitz erected his spectacular monument with 200 old refrigerators. Hence its name: Stonefridge. This would be a perfect time for you to draw inspiration from his efforts, Scorpio. Create your own personal imitation of a resource you love — a beautifully funky, playfully accessible substitute for a marvel that is impossible for you to own or control.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As I contemplate your week ahead, I can’t help but think of the Butthole Surfers’ song “Pepper”: “They were drinking from a fountain / that was pouring like an avalanche / coming down the mountain.” Are you ready for much, much more of everything that interests and stimulates you, Sagittarius? Can you imagine what you’d have to do to expand your capacity for big emotions and provocative sensations? Of course not: No one can be fully prepared for an avalanche. But do the wildest best you can, and your lust for life will provide you with all the intuitions you need.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s Fake Smile Week. On the one hand, that means you should be on guard for people who are pretending to feel better than they actually do. I urge you to forgive

7Dcrossword

them for their deception, but don’t get derailed by it. On the other hand, you yourself should put on a happy face as a disguise when you’re not sure what exactly is going on. In other words, it’s best to act agreeable until you gather all the information necessary to make a sound decision. Is the advice I’m offering hypocritical? Only if you use it to serve your narrow self-interests. But if you’re intent on doing what’s best for all concerned, my counsel is ethically impeccable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): At the Coachella music festival, I found myself next to a guy sporting a rainbow mohawk and wearing a red, white and blue Speedo, black socks, golf shoes, a striped necktie, angel wings, a red clown nose and a battered hard hat with a sticker that read “Martinis and brown rice.” At one point he turned to me and said, “You know what I like most about being an Aquarius? It’s a never-ending opportunity to send out mixed messages in a friendly, non-manipulative way.” That got me to thinking about how most of us are addicted to thinking in simplistic categories and obsessed with making sense. Sending out mixed messages, therefore, can be valuable if it’s done in a spirit of compassionate play, because it subverts those bad habits. Of all the signs in the zodiac, you Aquarians do this best. I hope you ply your specialty lavishly in the coming weeks. People in your life have an acute need to get their certainties scrambled.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): You’ve entered the Intimacy Intensification Season. Are you ready to dive deeper into the mysteries of togetherness? If so, you’ll meet provocative candidates for future alliances, and people you already know and love will become more available. As you can imagine, it’ll be crucial for you to study the truths of your own heart with ruthless honesty. There’ll be no excuse for getting tangled up with so-called “pleasures” that don’t really activate your most fervent zeal. Exercise extreme discrimination, please, even as you seek out thrills that make you brilliantly crazy.

Dibo Looking for a playmate? Howdy! My name is Dibo and I could be your forever buddy. I am a very friendly, social, outgoing, and playful young man. I am a 1-year-old short haired black neutered male cat. I love batting at toys, and have been clicker training while here at HSCC. Yes, you can clicker train with cats! I’m pretty good at it too! I think it’s because I like standing up on my hind legs so I’m able to easily high five my trainer. I have lots of energy and I am hoping my new family with kids of any age will have lots of time to play with me and keep me entertained. I am a handsome, fun-loving, affectionate cat looking for my forever home! Maybe we can make a permanent date?!

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, My girlfriend and I have incompatible schedules. She’s often eager for sex at bedtime, but I work hard all day and am usually unconscious within minutes of hitting the sack. Then I’ll wake up early and want to get it on. Can you offer any advice about the best way to wake her up and seduce her simultaneously? Lark in Lyndonville Dear Lark, Snuggle into the spoon position and rock rhythmically against her; kiss the back of her neck and lightly play with her hair; whisper in her ear how much you want her; run your hand up her leg and find her clit with your finger . . . Whatever you do, think slow and gentle, and pay attention to her response. Rolling over and keeping on sleeping doesn’t necessarily mean “no.” But if she pushes you away, give it up and let her get her Zs. If the trouble’s really in the timing, why limit yourselves to the night? Go for it as soon as you get home in the evening, or make a lunch date. You’d both be awake, and the change in routine could be a real turn-on. Love, Lola
