SEVEN DAYS | january 25-february 01, 2006 | feature 29A

Dying in solitary in a New York prison Sal Dagnone is serving 36 years to life for killing a man during a drunken bar fight 19 years ago. A lot has happened in his life since then. When he entered prison at 18, Dagnone couldn’t read or write. He’s since earned a GED, two years of college credit and paralegal training, and has gotten married. Dagnone is now being held in Great Meadow Correctional Facility in Comstock, New York, but his stint behind bars has taken him through almost every maximum security prison in the Empire State: Attica, Sing-Sing, Downstate, Shawangunk, Southport, Clinton, Coxsackie, Sullivan, Elmira. In Elmira, Dagnone tried to escape. He used a rope and hook to scale the roof, and stolen wire cutters to get through a fence before a guard dog nabbed him. The foiled breakout earned him five years in disciplinary confinement at Upstate Correctional Facility in Malone. After nearly two decades in prison, Dagnone is still haunted by an incident he witnessed at Upstate a little over a year ago. For two days and nights in December 2004, he listened helplessly as a 19-year-old inmate named Christopher Campos suffered repeated seizures in a nearby cell. Campos later died in the infirmary because the prison’s medical staff assumed he was faking it.

Dagnone remembers the medical staff showed up at Campos’ cell but didn’t enter. “They kept yelling at him,

‘GET OFF THE FLOOR, CAMPOS! GET OFF THE FLOOR! WE KNOW YOU’RE FAKING IT!’”

When Vermonters gaze across Lake Champlain at the snow-covered Adirondacks, most never realize they’re also looking at the heart of New York State’s prison country. Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties, collectively known as the North Country, are home to 10 prisons that employ more than 3900 people. The annual payroll exceeds $177 million. The small town of Malone, northwest of Plattsburgh, is the site of three prisons. Together, Bare Hill, Franklin and Upstate correctional facilities account for more than one-third of the town’s 14,800 residents. Upstate Correctional Facility is New York’s newest and largest super-max prison. It’s a sprawling complex of 23 buildings on 70 acres about 10 minutes by car from the Canadian border. Upstate is unique among the 70 prisons operated by the New York State Department of Correctional Services (DOCS). Hailed at its opening in July 1999 as a “new concept in disciplinary housing,” it was designed to hold the worst of the worst. It has a capacity of 1500 inmates — 300 to work in the prison’s mess hall, laundry and other services, and 1200 in disciplinary confinement known as the “Special Housing Unit,” or SHU. Prisoners get “SHU time” for a variety of offenses — possession of contraband, failed drug tests or “dirty urines,” fighting with other inmates or assaulting staff. SHU prisoners are locked down 23 hours a day, with just one hour of legally mandated “recreation” time in an empty outdoor cage attached to each cell. There are no phones, no clocks, no programs, no religious congregations and no physical interaction with other inmates. Except for a limited amount of reading material, headphones that play

staff-selected radio stations, and one allowable visit per week, inmates in SHU have virtually no contact with the outside world. A 10-by-10-foot cell can house one or two inmates. The cell has no bars, just a concrete floor and three walls, a thick metal door and a vent that allows in filtered light. Nearly all an inmate’s activities take place inside his cell, minimizing his contact with staff and other prisoners. Each cell has a stainless steel sink and toilet; staff operate a shower externally. All meals are served through a “feed-up” slot in the door. On the rare occasions when an inmate leaves his cell — for court hearings, meetings with visitors or emergency infirmary calls — he is typically shackled in leg irons and handcuffed at the waist. New York leads the nation in both the number and percentage of inmates who live in disciplinary confinement, according to the prison watchdog group Correctional Association of New York. DOCS credits this approach for its steep decline in inmate offenses. Between 1993 and 2002, DOCS reported a 38 percent drop in inmate-onstaff assaults. Inmate-on-inmate violence declined 44 percent, contraband offenses 39 percent. The correctional department’s newsletter, DOCS Today, summed it up in April 2003: “Upstate is doing exactly what officials had hoped it would do.” But critics of Upstate and similar SHU facilities point to disturbing problems associated with life “in the box” — notably, the inmates’ extraordinary amount of idleness, isolation and neglect. With virtually nothing to do for weeks, months and sometimes years at a stretch, inmates are essentially warehoused and rarely receive any treatment or counseling. Many “max out” their sentences at Upstate and are released directly back into society with no transitional period following their time in solitary confinement. “It’s essentially a human kennel,” says Stacy Graczyk, an attorney with Prisoners’ Legal Services of New York in Plattsburgh. “It does things to people being in there. In the military, people get special psychological training in case they become a prisoner of war, to help them tolerate this kind of isolation. And these are people who already have trouble fitting into society.” Graczyk, who provides legal aid to inmates in 16 prisons in northern New York, first learned of the Campos case in a letter from Dagnone. The letter, which she found deeply disturbing, echoed many of the complaints she commonly hears about inmate medical care. At Upstate, she says, prisoners can find it “extremely difficult” to get anyone to take their ailments seriously. “We see that in the medical and mental health records all the time, that they’re malingering, they’re faking it, they’re always complaining,” Graczyk says. “I think it blinds [the medical staff] to the serious issues that might be there.” For example, according to Graczyk, it’s standard procedure at Upstate for medical exams to be conducted through the door, with nurses handing out medications, making patient assessments, even drawing blood and giving shots through the feed-up slot.

BY KEN PICARD

Not only does this compromise an inmate’s privacy, she says, but it also raises serious questions about how medical personnel can evaluate a patient they can’t see or touch. Graczyk believes it was this “hands-off” approach to medical care that cost Campos his life. Christopher Campos was born in Mexico and came to the United States when he was 13, according to his 18-year-old halfbrother, Hilario Campos Jr. Campos spoke very little English, his brother says, so he often skipped school and fell in with gang members who lived near their home in Queens. The New York State Commission of Correction, the independent state agency that investigates all inmate deaths, released a report on Campos’ death in late September. It notes that Campos’ criminal record began at age 16, when he and several others tried

When the victim attempted to flee, he was stabbed several times and hit with a baseball bat. Campos was convicted of second-degree assault, menacing behavior and possession of a weapon. He was sentenced to one to three years in prison. Campos entered the correctional system with a known medical history. During his intake in February 2003, he reported that he suffered from a seizure disorder that had begun when he was 6, as well as asthma and tachycardia, for which he was taking medication. His last reported seizure occurred three days before he entered prison. Campos was sent to Lakeview, a minimum-security prison in Brockton, then to Washington Correctional Facility in Comstock. There, according to the Commission report, he “experienced frequent seizures regularly witnessed by officers.” Although Campos occasionally refused to take his meds, the report states, he began undergoing treatment and observation in the neurology department at Albany Medical Center, where he was a frequent patient for the next year and a half.

On July 26, 2004, Campos attacked another inmate with a weapon and was sentenced to 10 months in SHU at Upstate. He was assigned to 8 Building, B Block, Cell 26 — two cells away from Dagnone. Campos was alone in his cell. Dagnone, who has seen his share of correctional facilities, says of Upstate, “I ain’t gonna lie to you,” he says. “That’s the worst prison I ever been in.” A clean-cut man with a boyish face, a friendly demeanor and nobullshit Brooklyn charm, Dagnone relates his account of what happened to Campos during a conversation in the visitors’ hall at the Great Meadow Correctional Facility in Comstock. Dagnone remembers when Campos arrived, he says. He and Campos talked occasionally — though Campos was two cells away and didn’t speak English well, he recalls. A Latino inmate named Julio Perez in the cell between them spoke Spanish. Perez sometimes translated for Campos when the nurses came around on sick calls, Dagnone says. Perez wasn’t allowed out of the cell to translate — he had to shout through the door. On September 21, 2004, Campos was taken to Albany Medical Center, where it was determined that his seizures were still not controlled and he needed “long-term” monitoring, according to the Commission report. On November 20, he was admitted to Albany Medical Center’s Epilepsy Monitoring Unit and kept under constant observation until his discharge on December 6. Campos had no seizures during this time, the report states. However, the attending neurologist noted in his medical history, “The patient wakes up multiple times in the night with injury, sometimes tongue biting, sometimes abrasions all over his head.” Campos’ discharge diagnosis read “pseudoseizures.” Pseudoseizures, as the Commission report explains, are a real and dangerous condition. Also known as Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures, pseudoseizures are not phony seizures. Rather, they are believed to be “a psychological defense mechanism induced by stress or episodes of severe emotional trauma.” Pseudoseizures often accompany other types of seizures, and are commonly treated with anticonvulsive drugs. Campos was returned to Upstate on December 6 without his prescribed medication of Carbatrol, an anti-seizure drug, and was admitted to the prison infirmary for 24 hours of observation. The physician assistant (identified in the Commission report only as “L.T.”) noted on his chart that Campos had “missed one dose already so he may not get today. Will just discontinue.” When she was later interviewed by state investigators, the physician assistant “said that she ‘assumed’ that pseudoseizures were ‘fake seizures.’” On December 8 and 9, according to the report, Campos refused his meal trays at breakfast, lunch and dinner and was visited by a nurse and a social worker. At one point on December 9, a corrections officer reported that Campos was lying “half under his >> 30A

bedâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;refused to respond when [the officer] arrived at the cell.â&#x20AC;? The report states that the inmate â&#x20AC;&#x153;keeps asking for meds,â&#x20AC;? but wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t given any. His medical examination was conducted through the cell window. Dagnone, who has never seen the Commission report and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interviewed by state investigators, remembers how for two days before Campos died, he complained about his stomach, called for his meds and asked that his family be called. Inmates often play games with guards and medical staff to get attention, Dagnone admits. But he knew something must be seriously wrong for Campos to refuse all three meals for two days in a row. On December 9, Dagnone says, a guard called the nurse because Campos appeared to be in serious trouble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I gotta give credit where credit is due,â&#x20AC;? Dagnone says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[The guards] tried to get him help.â&#x20AC;? Dagnone remembers that the medical staff showed up at Camposâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cell but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They kept yelling at him, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Get off the floor, Campos! Get off the floor! We know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re faking it!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Campos was left alone. Dagnone claims he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sleep much that night because of what was going on two cells away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could all hear him banging around and flapping on the concrete . . . If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for attention, why do it when no oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watching?â&#x20AC;? The Commission report confirms Dagnoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account. The staff physician on duty, identified in the report only as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. E.W.,â&#x20AC;? claimed that Campos was â&#x20AC;&#x153;difficult to evaluate.â&#x20AC;? However, the report also states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other medical and correctional staff in the area did not corroborate Dr. E.W.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interpretation of the event. They stated that the physician concluded that Campos was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;faking and acting like a child holding his breath.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? On the morning of December 10, 2004, Campos was found lying unconscious on the floor of his cell. He was brought by stretcher to the prison infirmary, where he was pronounced dead later that day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the nurses would have did their job, this never wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve happened,â&#x20AC;? says Dagnone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a young kid with his whole life ahead of him. And the fucking guy choked to death. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a horrible way to die! You wonder, God forbid I get sick, these are the people I gotta go to?â&#x20AC;? The Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conclusions about the incident are sharply critical of the medical care Campos received. The report states that the staff physician on duty â&#x20AC;&#x153;failed to provide appropriate intervention, diagnosis and treatment of a gravely ill inmate.â&#x20AC;? The physician assistant â&#x20AC;&#x153;arbitrarily discontinued Camposâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; medication,â&#x20AC;? and the nurse assigned to the infirmary â&#x20AC;&#x153;failed to provide proper nursing intervention.â&#x20AC;? Investigators also criticized the practice of conducting patient evaluations through the window of a cell or infirmary room. All three medical staff were recommended for â&#x20AC;&#x153;administrative action.â&#x20AC;?

The superintendentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office at Upstate does not release the names of staff and refers all media inquiries to the DOCS press office in Albany. DOCS spokesperson Mike Fraser says he cannot comment on the specifics of the Campos case but only on department policies and practices as a whole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The incident being raised is certainly a tragedy,â&#x20AC;? Fraser says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to know that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not representative of the care that our inmates receive, and it certainly doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t represent the efforts around the state to provide the best possible care we can to more than 63,000 inmates statewide.â&#x20AC;? Fraser points out that New York State has made tremendous strides in addressing some of the most serious medical issues in the inmate population, including a 95 percent drop in AIDS deaths since 1995, and a 78 percent decline in tuberculosis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We actually have a lower TB rate than New York City,â&#x20AC;? he notes. Fraser adds that the Campos incident, while tragic and unfortunate, gives the correctional system an opportunity to â&#x20AC;&#x153;take a long, hard lookâ&#x20AC;? at its policies to learn from and improve care. Recommendations made by the Commission on Correction are not legally binding. However, Fraser insists that DOCS takes them â&#x20AC;&#x153;very seriously.â&#x20AC;? Fraser couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say how many members of the Upstate medical staff speak Spanish. Although an estimated 8 percent of New York inmates are Spanish-dominant speakers, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no requirement in New York that prisons have Spanish-speaking doctors or nurses on staff. When asked what â&#x20AC;&#x153;administrative actionâ&#x20AC;? was taken against the individuals involved in this case, Fraser explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our response is to counsel our physicians and staff who were involved and also to educate them.â&#x20AC;? None was terminated. Robert Gangi is executive director of the Correctional Association of New York. The prison-watchdog group has unique authority under state law to inspect prisons and interview inmates. Over the years, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s issued a number of scathing assessments of inmate health care. In February 2000, the Correctional Association identified a host of systemic problems plaguing New York prisons, including the high number of underqualified medical staff, the lack of quality assurance, and no external government oversight â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which means that prison healthcare workers are accountable only to prison authorities. The 2000 report also noted the serious shortage of Spanishspeaking medical personnel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spanish-speaking inmates were given medical information they did not understand, drug prescriptions they could not read and substandard health care due to the lack of Spanish-speaking medical staff,â&#x20AC;? the report states. During an inspection of Upstate in January 2001, one inmate told interviewers that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d entered the prison with serious medical ailments and had filed 47 requests to see a doctor but had-

2x5-lcgyno121405

nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t received any treatment. On another visit in August 2002, CA inspectors found a disabled prisoner who had been transferred from the wheelchair unit in another prison. At Upstate, his wheelchair was confiscated for â&#x20AC;&#x153;security reasons.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was in extreme distress and said that he could barely hoist himself onto the toilet,â&#x20AC;? the report reads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of his disability, he had trouble moving his hands and could not write a grievance to medical staff. He had spent several weeks at Upstate living on the floor.â&#x20AC;? When interviewed by phone last week, Gangi said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just returned from a visit to Upstate a day earlier and had heard â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of complaints about medical care.â&#x20AC;? Gangi wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t familiar with the Campos case, but he said many of the events described to him from the Commission report are symptomatic of problems his group has been complaining about for years. Graczyk at Prisonersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Legal Services hears comparable stories from Upstate. She refutes the DOCSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; assertion that the Campos case was an isolated incident. Recently, her office worked with an inmate there whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d arrived at Upstate with a heart condition. He had been prescribed self-carry nitroglycerin pills, which were taken away from him upon arrival. According to Graczyk, the inmate was told that if he experienced chest pains, he should â&#x20AC;&#x153;bang on his cell door.â&#x20AC;? Only after Prisonersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Legal Services got involved were the pills returned to him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You hear it all the time. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lock the door and throw away the key. Who gives a fuck what happens to them?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Graczyk says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People think that everyone in prison is a Ted Bundy. But what about this kid? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in there for one to three for assault second. Did he deserve a death sentence for that? Obviously not.â&#x20AC;? When Graczyk requested a copy of the videotape of Camposâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cell from December 9 and 10, 2004, under New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Freedom of Information Law, she was told it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available. The tape hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been preserved. Hilario Campos Jr. says he learned of his brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death when he arrived home from school on Friday, December 10, 2004. He says someone from the prison had called and left a message with his parents â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in English. Since they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand it well, Hilario had to call the prison back. When reached last week at their home in Camden, New Jersey, Hilario said he and his parents didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the Commission of Correction had issued a report on Christopherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death. No one had informed them that the state was conducting an investigation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a matter of fact,â&#x20AC;? Hilario says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even sent us the autopsy results. They only give us the death certificate.â&#x20AC;? Campos would have turned 21 on January 17, and would have been released from prison this week. m

Theater preview: Lyrical Langston: His Muse for Music

“

hat happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?” Langston Hughes asked in his most famous poem, “Harlem.” Hughes was the leading poet of the Harlem STORY Renaissance, the jazz-infused period of ELISABETH cultural ferment, cross-pollination and CREAN productivity in African-American literary, musical and visual arts. Lyrical Langston: He was an artistically prolific man His Muse for Music, directed by of multiple dreams and prodigious Fredrick Earl talents.

Montpelier’s Lost Nation Theater inaugurates its new Winterfest with Lyrical Langston: His Muse for Music, an inventive meditation on Hughes’ life and work that incorporates song, spoken word and dance. It’s the brainchild of Quanda Johnson, a veteran Broadway actress and singer. The Vermont premiere will be the show’s first performance outside of New York. Johnson and Music Director Paul Lincoln spoke about the process of developing the show in a phone call from New York City. In the theater, African-Americans often “end up doing a lot of stories that other people have written who are not necessarily of our Diaspora,” says Johnson. A passionate editorial in which playwright August Wilson urged African-Americans, “Tell your own stories,” inspired her, she says. “People may know the name Harriet Tubman or Sojourner Truth, but nothing more,” she goes on. “And I thought, how great would it be if I could start telling some of these stories that are not going to be told?” Growing up, Johnson was encouraged by her father to learn about African-American culture and history, she recalls. “And so I knew about Langston Hughes early on. But like most people, I learned of him as a poet.” Reading Hughes’ two-volume autobiography opened her eyes to his other artistic endeavors. As a singer herself, Johnson was especially intrigued to find out that Hughes

also wrote song lyrics, spanning styles from classical to the blues. “This was new information for me,” she reports. “I wanted something fresh and new to celebrate about Langston Hughes.” Johnson thrived on the process of discovery, wading through archives and unearthing hidden gems. “That was big fun,” she says. Some of the composers Hughes worked with were well known: Leonard Bernstein, Kurt Weill, bluesman W.C. Handy. Other music “was so obscure that it wasn’t even in the public domain,” Johnson notes. Confronted with the wealth of material — the song lyrics alone number into the hundreds — she faced the challenge of assembling it. “How can I tell an innovative, new, fresh story about this man?” Johnson says. “And that’s when I came up with the idea of juxtaposing his life development with his creative development, and telling it through the music.” As an organizing device, Johnson picked seven themes from Hughes’ life and work: youth; travel and becoming a man; sexual maturity and first love; conflict with white society; the blues; faith; and America. In the show, each section blends songs and recitations; Hughes wrote every word sung or recited. The range of musical styles is stunning. Weill’s “Lonely House” features sexy dissonances and displaced rhythms, while Handy’s “Golden Brown Blues” is an up-tempo romp. Perhaps the most surprising song is the simple patriotic anthem, “Freedom Land,” for which Hughes also wrote the music. It is affecting in its simplicity and sincerity. The recitations are drawn from almost every kind of writing Hughes did: moving poems such as “Harlem,” and silly, almost Seussian verse such as “Madame and the Phone Bill”; the funny short story, “The Ways of White Folks,” and the powerful essay, “The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain.” Music Director Lincoln stresses how radically Lyrical Langston differs from the current trend of Broadway musical biographies. These “jukebox

musicals,” as he calls them, take the concept of the artist’s work and weave a plot around it — either the story of the artist’s actual life, as in Jersey Boys, or an entirely made-up tale, as in

try. “I think that’s so fascinating, putting it in the context of what’s going on today,” says Lincoln. “Here’s this guy who’s so fantastically patriotic, yet didn’t shy away one moment from standing up and saying, ‘Hey, you know what, this is wrong. This needs to be changed. This can be improved. I still love my country. I think it’s great, but let’s keep working on it.’”

Here’s this guy who’s so fantastically patriotic, yet didn’t shy away one moment from standing up and saying, ‘Hey, you know what, this is wrong.’ MUSIC DIRECTOR PAUL LINCOLN Dancing Queen, about ABBA. “What really drew me to Quanda’s idea was that she wasn’t going to try and force-fit this into the construct of the traditional kinds of storytelling — boy meets girl, or overcoming obstacles to become famous,” Lincoln says. “Everything that’s being talked about in all these different pieces is something that is important on its own.” Lincoln began working with Johnson on this project right after September 11, 2001. He was struck by “the relationship of people to their country and patriotism, and what Langston struggled with.” Everything Johnson had selected from Hughes’ work “was so relevant in so many different ways to what we’re still thinking about and trying to deal with,” he reflects. “Even right now, with this spying and the Patriot Act. What does that mean to us? What did Langston say about this?” Hughes had traveled in Africa, Europe and Mexico, where he faced much less discrimination than he did in America, and yet he remained ardently committed to his own coun-

Johnson offers some perspective on the source of Hughes’ inner strength. “He came from a renegade heritage of fighters and people who would not take ‘no’ for an answer, who pushed through.” Hughes’ stepgrandfather died in the John Brown uprising at Harper’s Ferry, Johnson reports. His grandfather ran for public office, and his uncle was the first African-American to get elected. His father left the country after being denied permission to take the Kentucky Bar. Hughes “had such a deep sense of who he was as a person,” Johnson says. “I’m sure he had his foibles and his insecurities and his idiosyncrasies that we all have. But at the end of the day he really knew who he was as an American, as an African-American, and as a person of African descent, devoid of America. He knew who he was . . . because he came from a very rich legacy.” It’s hard to believe that Hughes accomplished so much in just 65 years, and that he died in relative

As a Democratic State Committeeman and Chair of the Hartford Town Committee and, like McKibben, a relatively recent transplant to Vermont (1997), I can affirm that a merger of the Democrats and Progressives would be welcomed by many, if not most all, of the activists in the Democratic party [“Party, Party, Party” January 11]. I’d also like to note that we’ll never see IRV while a Republican governor sits in Montpelier, because they know the GOP would never win another contested statewide election. It’s not the Democrats who are preventing IRV from becoming the law of the land. F.X. Flinn QUECHEE

Regarding Bill McKibben’s article on the Progressive and Democratic parties: great suggestion, IRV. He should let his house rep know his feelings with a telephone call. The more parties, the better. Many of us in favor of a third party have no problem with many Democrats, nor with many Republicans, but with the institutions they represent. In the end, they serve money and nothing else and won’t go the distance for people. Working people know this, and that’s why they don’t vote. They’ve given up, and who can blame them? I hope Mr. McKibben will join me in voting for the candidate he’d like to see elected, and not just holding his nose and pulling the lever. Then I hope he’ll knock on doors and register voters and urge others to vote their hopes and not their fears. Ross Laffan ROCHESTER

PLAN ON IT

As a Hinesburg resident, I thank you for Ken Picard’s coverage of Hinesburg’s village planning process [“Local Matters,” January 18]. It’s refreshing to see a media outlet consider the possibility that planning for growth in a Vermont town doesn’t have to mean making the same mistakes Williston and South Burlington have made. “Landowners control development,” Hinesburg’s town planner Alex Weinhagen was quoted. Though this seems to accurately reflect the opinion of Mr. Weinhagen, it’s not necessarily true. Hinesburg has just ratified its new Town Plan, and town government has yet to publicly debate and draft legislation to enact the vision for the next decade. We still can participate in a process to ensure that Hinesburg grows in ways that match the desires of the community at large. Weinhagen has a track record of insisting that his role is to facilitate development on behalf of landowners and developers. But the record of hear-

ings and public meetings on the subject indicates otherwise. Most people I’ve heard (and heard of) say something quite different: Let’s improve what we have before we expand the village. Build up, not out. Townspeople want a walkable village (half the village is cut off from the other by Route 116); they want local business (sites of major business potential in the village are occupied by dilapidated private structures); and they want to preserve Hinesburg’s sense of community (prioritize maintaining our small town over becoming a bedroom community for Burlington). Attend hearings, show up at planning commission meetings, and write letters. Remind our town officials and appointees to understand that their “vision” may not match up to what citizens want, and need, to build a safe, comfortable, sustainable Hinesburg. Craig Chevrier HINESBURG

Chevrier sits on the Hinesburg Land Trust board. PERSONAL GRUDGE

I must give credit where credit is due. Like a lot of other people, I read Peter Freyne’s column [“Inside Track”] because he and your newspaper are willing to publish things that often don’t make it into the mainstream press. But I get weary of reading the personal, ad hominem attacks that Freyne permits himself. I refer to the nasty little snipe at Sam Hemingway in the January 11 column, the use of quotation marks around the word “void.” Without any judgment on the present and future competency of Ed Shamy at the Free Press, I know Sam Hemingway as both a good journalist and a gentleman, and I can’t help but wonder if Mr. Freyne’s longstanding and all-too-public display of personal dislike of Mr. Hemingway is based on resentment that his own journalistic “standards” do not measure up to Mr. Hemingway’s. Larry Ribbecke BURLINGTON

BUILDING CONCERNS

I am grateful for Ken Picard’s article re: the zoning rewrite efforts currently going on in Burlington [“Built to Last,” January 11]. Thanks also for Cathy Resmer’s quite thorough article “Movin’ On Up” [January 11]. Regarding the socalled lack of opposition to the Westlake development, I recall that at the time of the various hearings there were, on occasion, delays or postponements of presentations by the developers with little or no advance notice. The result was that concerned citizens who did show up for the original hearings were there for nothing. It is difficult for the average citizen to maintain vigilance re: rescheduling by developers. (By the way, might this not sometimes be a strategy to dilute opposition to

a project?) Hence, the importance of responsible news coverage. Burlington needs an astute watchdog — on developers and on city planners. Thank you. Cynthia Rubin BURLINGTON

SALT FAULTS

I recently moved back to the area after spending a few years working and living in the Rockies. I really think that the issue of road salt, or sodium chloride, used on the public roads and sidewalks here in Burlington and Vermont needs to be dealt with [“Local Matters,” December 14]. Many studies show that it impacts the environment in various negative ways (see Wisconsin Dept. of Transpor- tation, among others). Next, it decreases the value and lifespan of all of our beloved cars (and bikes/boots). Hence, it may be evaluated as a property-value issue as well. Also, I have noticed that the extreme amount of salt on the sidewalks at times inhibits dogs from traveling on them. At times my pooches have stopped and lifted up their painful feet, wondering what the heck went wrong, at times licking the stuff off to end the stinging pain! On a lesser note, the salt will eat away at hardwood floors and other floorings if left for any amount of time. As progressive and thoughtful as Vermont might seem at times, the continued use of chemicals to melt road ice seems archaic when compared to other U.S. regions that receive much greater amounts of snow at lower temperatures, which have banned the use of salt for the above-stated regions. David Wells BURLINGTON

THANKS!

The three of us, dubbing ourselves the Hurricane Katrina Vermont Cares Team, would like to thank all of our supporters who enabled us to go to the Gulf Coast of Mississippi in December to distribute badly needed supplies. Many Vermont businesses and individuals helped in so many ways: donating goods, sorting and packing of items to be given away, providing gifts of money to finance our trip, not to mention bestowing enormous support and encouragement. We were able to give away blankets, sweaters, coats, food, paper goods, toiletries and school backpacks filled with school supplies. The folks of Southern Mississippi were very appreciative of the goods, especially since some are still living in tents, and those in FEMA trailers say they are drafty. They asked us to say thanks to all the people back home for thinking of them. Sam Frank ST. JOHNSBURY

Cheri Lundblad of Moretown and Sue Thomas of Waitsfield also signed this letter.

<music> WALK THE LINE:: Big Apple-based rockers

The

Walkmen are almost as close as family; members have played with each other in one incarnation or another since the fifth grade. This fraternity shows in their music, which is a swaggeringly buoyant blend of vintage alt-rock and modern attitude. The band has its own studio in Harlem in which they experiment with all manner of vintage equipment. Their latest, Bows & Arrows, is an edgy, melodic opus with a throbbing, analog heart. Catch them with openers Mazarin and Lobot this Thursday at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge as part of Seven Daysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hot Ticket series.

BY CASEY REA

YOUNG LIONS Get ready to add another group to Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing list of top jazz talent. Foâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;tet is a new improvisational quartet featuring trumpeter Bryan Boyes, guitarist Nicolas Cassarino, bassist Robinson Morse and drummer Gabe Jarrett. Band members have logged time in some of the most exciting ensembles in the state; it stands to reason that their latest collaboration should be smokinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Rhythm buddies Morse and Jarrett developed their uncanny musical telepathy playing in the progressive groove behemoth Vorcza. Cassarinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s post-bop fretwork consistently leaves jaws agape at his regular Burlington gigs; I actually get a little envious watching him. Boyes

work. Music isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made in a vacuum, but so many bands donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the chance to hear what other groups are doing.â&#x20AC;? Couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree more. On February 3, New York Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rider and Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Luxury join locals Colin Clary & the Magogs, FTC and DJ Misa in the seriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; debut. Rider are â&#x20AC;&#x153;retroâ&#x20AC;? in the best sense of the word. Ruggedly emphatic guitar riffs shore up singer Brooke Gengrasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vocals, which range from coquettish to combative. She formerly fronted the overexposed tribute act Lez Zeppelin. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to hear her performing originals with the same passion she brought to that cover band. Riderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s My Space page lists Syd Barrett, Black Sabbath and Michael Jackson as influences. Imagine a reality TV show with that cast.

GABRIELLE DOUGLASS

SWALE

pulls double duty as the leader of Money Jungle, an exploratory jazz/worldbeat hybrid that has already conquered the Capital City. Foâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;tet perform original music composed by Boyes and Morse. With so many other projects, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing they even find time to write new material. Maybe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll offer some time-management tips at their appearance at the Langdon Street CafĂŠ on Friday, February 3.

CATCH A FIRE

Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s indie-rock sophisticates Fire the Cannons have some new developments to report. First up, the band has found a replacement for drummer Johnny Aquadora, who recently left the group to follow his solo calling. The incoming timekeeper is Justin Gonyea, whose name is new to me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played in a couple of bands,â&#x20AC;? FTC bassist Shawn Flannigan says. Well, that clears things up! In addition to breaking in the new recruit, Flannigan has been busy putting together a monthly night of rock at Club Metronome. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping to use the slot to attract some out-of-town acts that have yet to make inroads in Vermont. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to create an environment thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conducive to new bands,â&#x20AC;? Flannigan explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea is to create a regional net1x6-2ndFloor012506

I caught two Swale/Wail sets, one at Red Square on Wednesday and another at 135 Pearl on Friday. Both performances were keen, but I thought the former had a bit more energy. Highlights included Frederickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turn on xylophone, as well as Eric Olsenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creative reinterpretation of Wide Wailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guitar crunch. Gustafson sounded perfectly at ease with her musical history; judging by her passionate keyboard and scorching vocals, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have sworn it was still â&#x20AC;&#x2122;95. The band actually had some Wide Wail wares on hand, including their so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;lostâ&#x20AC;? album. Apparently, it was pressed only a few years ago, but was never released. Maybe next time they misplace a record, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wait a few decades before digging it up. That seemed to work well for Brian Wilson.

JASON COOLEY

The Luxury are fronted by ex-Burlingtonian Jason Dunn, who was once in a band with both Flannigan and myself. His new music features the gigantic pop hooks Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to expect, with a few interesting twists. Their tune â&#x20AC;&#x153;Malcontentâ&#x20AC;? contains a classic chord progression and a melody so clever you wonder why Sir Paul McCartney hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already written it. Another cut, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stillborn Symphony,â&#x20AC;? boasts an explosive coda that rocks harder than I possibly could have anticipated. Guess you could say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m psyched for the show.

SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW

Last week local dream-weavers Swale tried on another bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical wardrobe. The trio resurrected tunes by Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defunct alt-rock legends Wide Wail, bringing another dimension to some of the hippest music to ever come out of the Green Mountains. It was hardly your typical covers set, however. Swaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talented cosongwriter Amanda Gustafson was the front woman for Wide Wail, so who better to interpret the material? The fact that drummer Jeremy 1/24/06 9:44 AM Page 1 Frederick spent a decade with the group couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt, either.

Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance also heralded the debut of two new B-town acts, Epic Destroyer and the provocatively named Soft Spot. Epic Destroyer is an improvisational psych-rock collective featuring members of The Cush and Manifest Nexto Me. According to guitarist Aaron Hornblas, the group was convened at the last minute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Originally The Cush were supposed to play,â&#x20AC;? he told me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But [drummer] Steve Hadeka had something else going on. Doing stuff like this at a party is kinda cool, but it gets a little weird when you give it a name.â&#x20AC;? Weird is right. I only caught the tail end of their set, but it was certainly out there. Still, I enjoy experimental music, and it was pretty cool to watch Gabrielle Douglass rocking the Theremin. Soft Spot is a bizarre, synth-driven trio comprising rock roustabout Jason Cooley, and Max Schwartz and Herb van der Poll of The Jazz Guys. The band hit the stage sporting red, blue and green tracksuits. Unfortunately, their spiffy attire couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spare them some awkward technical difficulties. Van der Pollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rogueâ&#x20AC;? model Moog kept cutting out and going out of tune, putting a crimp in the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style. I suppose the device is aptly named. But their epic cover of Kylie Minogueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Get You Out of My Headâ&#x20AC;? was cheeky enough. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in my head ever since.

8084, THE LAST GREAT TRAIN (GB Music, CD)

(Icebox Records, CD)

Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veteran rockers 8084 recently released their fourth studio album, The Last Great Train, on the independent GB Music label. Since coming together in 1987, the band has toured throughout the East Coast and Canada with national and international talent, including Edgar Winter, Blue Oyster Cult, Toto, April Wine and Aldo Nova. Although its members are now approaching middle age, the band is hardly slowing down. Featuring lead vocalist/guitarist Randy Smith, guitarist/vocalist AndrĂŠ Maquera, bassist/vocalist Roy Brown and drummer Gary Spaulding, the disc boasts 13 tracks of driving, melodic rock. Loaded with catchy hooks, blistering solos, atmospheric keyboards and well-placed acoustic guitar, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sure to impress long-time fans. It may even create some new ones. On previous releases the band worked with outside producers, including Hirsh Gardner of cult favorites New England, as well as Canadian one-hit-wonder Aldo Nova. The band goes it alone on this one, ably demonstrating the sonic wisdom they have accrued over the years. The Last Great Train delivers a wide range of styles and textures, from the all-out rock of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breath,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Knowâ&#x20AC;? and closing cut â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank You,â&#x20AC;? to the more melodic â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alrightâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shopping List.â&#x20AC;? For chops-hounds, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the funky instrumental title track and the aptly titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guitsophrenic.â&#x20AC;? As usual, 8084â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s straightforward pop melodies and edgy riffs walk the fine line between AOR mood pieces and classic rock. My favorite tunes fall in the latter category. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All That I Needâ&#x20AC;? is reminiscent of Styxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arena-rock classics Pieces of Eight and Cornerstone, while â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guitsophrenicâ&#x20AC;? combines Flamenco picking with soaring, Eric Johnson-like guitar solos and funky bass in a simmering rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll stew. 8084â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s songwriting and instrumental prowess is apparent throughout this release; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no wonder theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a local rock mainstay for nearly two decades. Even the packaging is top-notch, with detailed liner notes and quality photography included in the handsome, tri-fold case.

Burlington imprint Icebox Records has finally released the latest installment of its 3inch CD series, a shimmering slice of guitardriven pop-tronica by international transplants Ruby in Flames. Once again, the label has proven that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more going on in and around Burlington than strummed acoustics and whiteboy funk. Ruby in Flames is the brainchild of an electronica-loving Swede and a guitar-happy Scot. The former, Peter Sunna, handles sixstring and vocals, while his bandmate Malcolm Buick is credited with guitar, keyboards, vocals and production. The two met while designing album covers in London; when Buick got a design gig in Burlington, Sunna chose to follow him across the pond. Assisting the duo on select tracks is Sunnaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriend Jody Waller, who contributes lovely backing vocals. RIFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-titled disc is a seductive hybrid of futuristic pop and fuzzy indie-rock. Like electro-acoustic hybrids The Notwist, the band combines evocative melodies, musique concrete samples and intricate, programmed rhythms. Some songs build gradually from a repeating figure, Ă la Spiritualized; others gurgle and shimmer in an electronically embellished haze. Opener â&#x20AC;&#x153;Care 4 Youâ&#x20AC;? features crystalline acoustic guitar, aching vocals and squelching percussion. Lyrically, the song paints a bittersweet picture of an ex-loverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reluctance to let go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Manchester Corduroyâ&#x20AC;? is built around a stately Brit-rock riff, which serves as a foundation for the cigarettes â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; suds vocal melody. â&#x20AC;&#x153;BPMâ&#x20AC;? affects a starry-eyed distance, with Wallerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dreamy vocals suggesting a blissed-out reincarnation of My Bloody Valentine. Twinkling piano hovers in the background as synth bass conjures deep, analog vibrations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Minus Tenâ&#x20AC;? hints at the epic, but thin production prevents it from achieving the spaciousness to which it aspires. So much laptop pop is hindered by digital brittleness; this track is no exception. Closing cut â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Birdsâ&#x20AC;? arrives in a blanket of reverb-soaked guitar and what sounds like seagulls at the beach. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardly New Age â&#x20AC;&#x201D; synth arpeggios slither beneath the hypnotic pulse of an electronic kick drum like digital reptiles. By songâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end, chant-style vocals and cycling rhythms are joined together in a Stygian marriage of trance-inducing sound.

GROOVE DIGGERS ::

Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest jam-friendly act,

Dead. The quartet is already building some serious steam, spreading its â&#x20AC;&#x153;psychedelic roots musicâ&#x20AC;? across the land with extensive, bi-coastal tours. Not a bad head start for a band whose debut disc doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drop â&#x20AC;&#x2122;til spring. Get â&#x20AC;&#x153;miracledâ&#x20AC;? this Friday, when they open for perennial jamsters Strangefolk at the Higher Ground Ballroom.

ARTWORK “Bookmatch” by David Smith

PHOTO Marc Awodey

arshfield artist David Smith isn’t content to simply paint ordinary landscapes. Among the 26 large and small works he’s currently showing at the Vermont Supreme Court are three triptychs, a mixed-media diptych mounted on eight legs, and a host of oil-on-linen canvasses employing highly creative compositions. Formally, his paintings are more closely related to abstraction than picture-postcard realist barns and foliage. At about 12 by 20 inches, Smith’s triptychs are diminutive, but are nonetheless masterful. In each, the central panel is broader than the two that flank it. The three images are framed together into a unified whole. In “Winter Triptych,” snow-covered hay bales are nestled into a stand of craggy fruit trees. Long shadows stretch to the left of the forms across turquoise snow. The hues in “River Triptych” are much brighter: Orange-foliated trees and grasses, as well as white birches, line the river and are reflected in its waters. Patches of cerulean blue sky peek between the branches, and also are reflected in the water, resulting in splashes of color across its placid surface. The river forms a semicircle in the triptych foreground, crossing all three canvasses. In “Eligo,” named for a scenic pond in Orleans County, clouds are steeply reflected in the water. Straight, vertical tree trunks extend from the top edge to the

bottom of the canvas, dividing the rectangular painting into three sections with proportions similar to those in Smith’s triptychs. Behind the angular cloud reflections and pole-like trees, a high horizon line creates a shallow compositional space. “Bookmatch” is more sculptural than painterly. Smith built two hinged panels and set them upon two independent shelf units with white legs and glass tops. The oil panels depict boulders lying in swampy wetlands. Purples and

His birds are like the jagged black lines of a mighty graph, recording upward and downward movements as a continuous event. Their long wingspans suggest the birds may be turkey vultures rather than crows, but either way they’re dark in mood as well as tone. Behind them, puffy clumps of crimson leaves create a completely different visual rhythm. And behind the trees, the artist’s signature cerulean sky supplies the foundation for the entire composition. So “Primary

Aesthetic eccentricity is what makes Smith’s work so appealing. browns are the dominant colors, but tufts of green fern appear in both lower corners of the diptych. This is an eccentric piece; though the skinny shelves and paintings comprise an integrated construction, the shelves also appear to be an elaborate, utilitarian solution to the challenge of displaying a heavy diptych. Aesthetic eccentricity is what makes Smith’s work so appealing. “Primary Fall” is ostensibly an autumn scene containing red maple trees and, emerging from them, three crows with outstretched wings. But these things are not the painting’s true — or at least not its only — subjects. Smith ran wild across this canvas:

Fall” is made up of just three elements: birds, trees and sky. Not an unusual recipe for a landscape. But Smith’s proportions for those ingredients give the painting its zest. The exhibit includes more typical Vermont scenes as well. “Newton’s” and “Farm Portrait” depict basic, weathered barns with rusty silos. But even these predictable vignettes are endowed with dramatic shifts in value, varied triangles of negative space, and warm and cool colors layered over each other to enrich simple chromatic harmonies. Smith knows what he’s doing with paint, and has learned the trick of being innovative and traditional at the same time. m

FLIGHTS OF FANCY The word â&#x20AC;&#x153;quirkyâ&#x20AC;? is often used to describe Janet Van Fleetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;irrepressibleâ&#x20AC;? is a better description of the artist herself. She seems to present a new body of work somewhere in Vermont nearly every month. Van Fleet swooped into the Lazy Pear Gallery in Montpelier recently to deliver a, well, quirky collection of unique birds and odd quadrupeds made from logging trail sticks and spikes.

the straight dope

by CECIL ADAMS

all worthwhile human knowledge

Dear Cecil, Two related questions: As a cat owner, I’ve been a little concerned recently about rumors that cat poop can cause schizophrenic behavior in people who are overexposed to the waste. How much truth is in this — and if there is any truth to it, what amount can possibly count as overexposure? I’m also bothered by the supposed risk to pregnant women that changing the litterbox can cause — not so much to them as to the fetus, through bacteria and whatnot. If that’s really true, then with a third of all Americans owning cats, why don’t we see higher rates of these dreadful birth defects? Certainly some of these women must get pregnant sometime, and I doubt they all know the dangers posed to them by cleaning up what Puss left behind. What gives? Onnie in Baltimore Buckle up, friend. This one’s bizarre. While you’re surely right that not everyone has gotten the word, the medical profession and hopefully most women of childbearing age know that if you’re pregnant you don’t want to get near cat feces. The problem is the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, for which cats are the principal host. The microscopic parasites reproduce in the cat’s gut, the eggs are excreted, and by a process I’m not about to describe the critters wind up in your brain and muscles, where they create tiny cysts, leading to a condition known as toxoplasmosis. Unpromising as this sounds, the symptoms of toxoplasmosis are generally mild to nonexistent in adults, which is good, because roughly a third of all humans are infected, with the rate in some tropical countries approaching 100 percent. For some, though, things are less benign. If a woman initially becomes infected while pregnant, there’s a fair chance the T. gondii will migrate across the placenta to her unborn child, with ghastly results ranging from cerebral

palsy, seizures and mental retardation to death. Women infected prior to pregnancy don’t run the same risk, which no doubt explains why we haven’t seen an epidemic of toxo-induced birth defects — the parasite’s ubiquitousness confers a sort of immunity. I’ve seen no research suggesting there’s a threshold exposure below which there’s no danger, and in my opinion it’d be foolish to assume there is one. Besides, you’ll never get a better excuse to make somebody else clean the litter box. Here’s where things get strange. While the link between toxoplasmosis and birth defects has long been recognized, scientists now suspect that T. gondii may cause schizophrenia, too. That in itself represents a major change in thinking — till recently the assumption, based on twin studies and the like, has been that schizophrenia is transmitted genetically. No way, scoffers say: schizophrenia is so profoundly disabling that sufferers tend not to reproduce. Germs are likelier candidates. Studies typically have found T. gondii antibodies occurring in schizophrenics at twice the rate seen in control groups. But get this. Forty-five percent of schizophrenics tested positive in one study for both T. gondii and D-lysergic acid diethylamide, better known as LSD. To quote a recent paper: “These results support the hypothesis that T. gondii may cause schizophrenia and may do so by producing or triggering the production of an hallucinogenic chemical” (“Genes, Germs, and Schizophrenia,” Ledgerwood et al., Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, 2003). Mindful that rodents are often an intermediate host for the parasite, the authors go on to say, “Production of such a compound may have been favored by natural selection because an infected, hallucinating rodent would be more easily captured by a cat.” In other words, schizophrenia in humans may be a side effect of T. gondii’s attempt to set cats up with a steady supply of tripping mice, the better to ensure its own reproductive success. Told you this was bizarre. A word of caution: our authors’ impressive theoretical edifice is built on some pretty thin evidence. It’s simplistic to say T. gondii works by triggering the production of LSD — among other problems with the idea, acid mainly gives rise to visual hallucinations, whereas the delusions of schizophrenics are primarily auditory (e.g., hearing voices). No doubt genetics plays some role in schizophrenia, if only by establishing a predisposition to the condition. Still, even without the hallucinogen angle, this is a promising line of research. If germs are in fact a cause of schizophrenia, which afflicts more than 2 million Americans, there’s a better chance we’ll be able to come up with a method of prevention, if not a cure. CECIL ADAMS

With Colin Firth and Kelly MacDonald.

The Matador HHHH

T STRANGE BEDFELLOWS Kinnear and Brosnan star in one of the most flipped-out buddy films ever made.

ry imagining a movie directed by Quentin Tarantino and scripted by John Hughes and you may get a sense of The Matador’s disarming schiziness. You know you’re in for one nutty buddy film when Greg Kinnear plays a downon-his-luck Denver executive who bonds with Pierce Brosnan in the role of a hit man having a nervous breakdown. The two cross paths in a hotel bar in Mexico City. Both are in town on business. Danny Wright is trying to restart his career after being laid off by the company where he’s worked for nearly a decade. He’s desperate. If he doesn’t land the account he’s come all this way to pitch, the repercussions may be as bad for his marriage as for his bank account. Hope Davis costars as his wife, a woman whose supply of faith in him, he suspects, is just about exhausted. As Julian Noble, a foul-mouthed “facilitator of fatalities,” Brosnan gives the wildest, funniest, most flipped-out performance of his career. Talk about playing against type. He’s the anti-Bond. Once the model of a suave and coldblooded assassin, Noble is beginning to go to seed. He drinks too much, suffers from hallucinations and, more frequently, botches his jobs. So close to the edge is he when he runs into Wright that he decides to do what he’s never done before: Confess what he does for a living. Naturally, his new friend is dubious, so Noble invites him to a bullfight, lets him pick a target at random out of the crowd, and walks him through the steps involved in setting up and finally completing a hit. The sequence is the first of several in which writer-director Richard (Oxygen) Shepard demonstrates he is one very cheeky devil. From there, things get freakier by the minute. In full mental meltdown, Noble strides through the hotel wearing just a black Speedo and cowboy boots, and, with a can of beer in his hand, steps into the pool — at which point he’s approached by a great white shark. Shortly thereafter, Noble finds himself unable to follow through with a job because, in place of the man he’s supposed to kill, he sees himself as a boy.

SHORTS On his last night in the country, Wright has reason to believe his deal has fallen through. When, early in the morning, a drunken Noble bangs on his door offering to share $50,000 of his fee if Wright will help with his next assignment, Shepard fades to black and jumps ahead six months, leaving the viewer to wonder whether Wright answered the door that night and, if he did, what answer he gave. The next thing we know, Danny Wright is back home in Denver. He has grown a mustache reminiscent of Noble’s. It is late at night and, again, there’s a knock at the door. Guess who. When asked what he’s doing there, Noble shrugs and replies, “I don’t have the slightest idea.” But he does. As night turns into morning and the whiskey flows, the truth comes out: He’s had a complete breakdown, frozen on one job too many and, as a result, now has a bull’s-eye on his own back, courtesy of his boss. His only hope is to successfully carry out one final assignment. He needs the help of his one friend and reminds him, “You owe me.” What does he mean by that? What, if anything, did Noble have to do with Wright landing the Mexican account and getting his life back on course? Is anything in this unlikely relationship even remotely what it seems? The highest praise I can possibly offer Shepard’s script — praise it richly deserves — is that the answer to none of these questions is predictable, derivative or dull. This picture constantly twists toward the unexpected, and runs on a premium blend of humor and humanity. If it’s not a great film, it is, at the very least, an undeniably great time. Shepard’s direction is stylish and assured. The dialogue could be a master class in snappy, bizarro repartee. So endearing and nicely nuanced is Kinnear’s suburban-loserturned-steel-nerved-man-of-action, he could be channeling William Macy. Brosnan, for his part, is simply a joy to behold. There’ll be other Bonds. Julian Noble, on the other hand, is a singular creation. I, for one, am happy he’s hung up that tux. Now he’s likely to be available when killer roles like this one come along. m

BROKEBACK MOUNTAINHHHH1/2 Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal do some of the finest work of their careers in Ang Lee’s affecting adaptation of Annie Proulx’s short story about a pair of ranch hands who fall in love. Also starring Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway. (134 min, R) CAPOTEHHHH1/2 Philip Seymour Hoffman disappears into the role of writer-socialite Truman Capote in this biopic, which focuses on the years when the author wrote In Cold Blood. Catherine Keener costars. Bennett Miller directs. (98 min, R) CASANOVAHHH From acclaimed filmmaker Lasse Hallstrom comes this comic take on the legendary lothario’s adventures. Starring Heath Ledger, Sienna Miller, Oliver Platt and Jeremy Irons. (108 min, R) FUN WITH DICK AND JANEHH1/2 Jim Carrey and Tea Leoni are paired in this update of the 1977 George Segal-Jane Fonda comedy about a suburban couple who turn to crime in order to maintain their upscale lifestyle. Directed by Dean (Home Fries) Parisot. (100 min, PG-13)

SEVEN DAYS BIRDSONG & COFFEE

for a humanitarian disaster.” In one segment, two Costa Rican farmers visiting California discover that a cup of black coffee at Starbucks goes for $1.55, a figure that represents 100 times what they make cultivating the beans it took to make the drink. “We’re not looking for handouts,” says Roberto Jimenez. “We’re looking for justice.” Justice is what Macksoud and Ankele have been trying to foster for the last two decades under their production banner, Old Dog Documentaries. Executive Producer Jeanne Fossani says DVDs of Birdsong & Coffee, which premiered recently in Woodstock, are available in Burlington at Borders and the Peace & Justice Center. “This is the only kind of film we do,” Macksoud notes. “And it’s really a continuation of Global Banquet: The Politics of Food, which we made in 2001. We have an overriding interest in how U.S. policies affect the poor.” Despite a shoestring budget, Macksoud and Ankele were able to visit Costa Rica for 10 days in late 2004 to observe agricultural developments in the small town of Agua Buena. The region’s coffee production had been reduced by almost 40 percent. Native forests were cut down to make way for large-scale pineapple operations run by transnational corporations such as Del Monte. But some 650 Agua Buena families belong to a cooperative that has partnered with the University of California at Santa Cruz. Students who spent time

in the Central American country as interns frequently returned home with coffee in their luggage that they sold, sending proceeds back to the farmers. The kids eventually persuaded their school to purchase all campus coffee, about 400 pounds a month, directly from growers. Macksoud and Ankele chronicle this grassroots endeavor. Big bucks are at stake. Coffee is the second-most-traded commodity on Earth, after oil. But the fair-trade movement has been burgeoning. For example, 23 percent of the beans imported by Green Mountain Coffee Roasters fit that designation, helping about 800,000 farmers. At the Vermont Coffee Company in Bristol, it’s 100 percent; founder Paul Ralston notes in the film that fair-trade coffee costs consumers about a penny and a half more per cup. Although “that amount of money you wouldn’t even pick up from the sidewalk,” as Danaher suggests, it means a better livelihood for those who till the soil.

Growers benefit even more through what’s known as “fair trade direct,” an import movement that bypasses all the middlemen. Beans from places such as Costa Rica can be ordered by phone or online through the Santa Cruz-based Community Agroecology Network. That’s what Macksoud has done since experiencing a caffeine epiphany while shooting the doc. “It changed my coffee consciousness,” she says. “I now buy directly from the farmers I met and interviewed. They grow it, pick it, process it, roast it, and send it to my mailbox every month. Each fair-trade sip I take helps farmers, rainforests and songbirds.” During her morning ritual, Macksoud says, “I think about the farmers and their families, about the labor-intensive work that coffee production demands, about the birds that left my feeder last November to find refuge in the trees that shade the coffee I’m drinking.” m

fickle fannie BY DAVID DIEFENDORF

READ THIS FIRST:

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

FARTHER is how those close to him describe Uncle Seamus. You could say the belfry is a kind of BATHROOM. In Tijuana, an extra serving of hash is deemed MASH. ASHTRAY is a term that accompanies many a lonely lamb. Pigeons and morning doves love to compete with COHOS. It’s probably insulting to call a policeman a CHOPPER. HOLDER is what you are when you blow out candles. You can’t SHAVE a cake you’ve already scarfed. Wherever you go in Italy you can’t leave the BOOTH. BEHAVE was often heard by Wally Cleaver’s brother. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: ARD AS ELL. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 55A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

FICKLE FANNIE HINT: Something doesn’t belong there.

very day, Anne Macksoud drinks what she calls “an improvised cappuccino” — dark-roast coffee with frothed milk. When she prepares that beverage, the 63-year-old Woodstock filmmaker grinds exclusively mail-order beans from Costa Rica. This effort is part of her campaign to support Third World farmers while also advocating for protection of the ecosystem. Ditto for Birdsong & Coffee: A Wake Up Call, the documentary Macksoud recently completed with codirector John Ankele of New York City. “It’s about saving the planet,” she explains. Coffee plants thrive in shade at high altitudes. If growers can’t earn a living wage, however, the trees are often cut down and the land transformed into pastures for more profitable crops. That, in turn, destroys the natural habitat of migratory songbirds. “This is a global catastrophe,” Macksoud contends. Six years ago, the worldwide coffee market crashed. As a result, growers began receiving less money than ever — a 150-year low, in fact — for their product. In the film, Kevin Danaher of the organization Global Exchange points out that some farmers have earned as little as 7 cents a pound, while in the U.S. we pay $11 or $12 or $13 here for coffee. Around the world, an estimated 25 million coffee farmers are at risk. On camera, Oxfam coffee program manager Seth Petchers talks about “the potential

FRIDAY 27

KEEPING SCORE Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is remembered for his pure melodies and harmonically balanced compositions. His symphonies, operas and chamber pieces are among classical music’s, well, classics. The Austrian composer’s 250th birthday is this Friday, and two area concerts pull out all the stops for a fitting fête. Middlebury hosts piano virtuoso Dejan Lazic, who will perform works by Ravel as well as Mozart masterpieces. The Vermont Mozart Festival launches a year of tributes with the dynamic and accomplished Pacifica Quartet (pictured) playing Mozart’s Adagio & Fugue in C Minor and additional quartets by both Mozart and Beethoven. And what would a birthday party be without cake? At the Festival show, the New England Culinary Institute dishes up Viennese desserts in a nod to one of Mozart’s hometowns. Sweet.

MOZART’S 250TH BIRTHDAY Friday, January 27, The Inn at Essex, 8 p.m. $30 includes desserts. Info, 862-7352. http://www.vtmozart.com http://www.pacificaquartet.com

SEVEN DAYS

scene@YANKEE SPORTSMAN’S CLASSIC CHAMPLAIN VALLEY FAIRGROUNDS, ESSEX JUNCTION, FRIDAY-SUNDAY, JANUARY 20-22. Thousands of Vermonters flocked to the Expo Center at the Champlain Valley Fairgrounds last weekend for the 14th Annual Yankee Sportsman’s Classic. Some of them got a little more action than they’d bargained for. The three-day event gives outdoor clubs and vendors a chance to interact with people who love to catch critters. In Vermont, that’s a lot of folks. A press release for the event points out that 30 percent of Vermonters hunt and fish, and more than half take part in wildliferelated recreation. Only Alaska, Idaho and Montana report higher levels of participation. Consequently, the two cavernous rooms at the Expo Center were filled with bass boats, fifth wheels and booths advertising everything from rifles to antler lamps to camou-covered iPod accessories. On Saturday afternoon, the place was packed with potential buyers. Everything went smoothly until shortly after 2 p.m., when the lights went out. A commuand that wasComputer followed, initially, sudden On-site Computer Support nal gasp was followed by a groan, Friendly On-site Support by silence. TheFriendly darkness was deafening. Hundreds of people, crowded into the long narrow aisles between the booths, stood motionless, waiting for the power to return. But it didn’t. Eventually people started to move again, slowly. Many of them, accustomed to roughing it, reached for flashlights they happened to have handy. The vendors improvised. Within minutes, the area around the Williston Interstate Battery Center booth was bathed in bright light from battery-powered bulbs. Other enterprising merPaperweight? chants grabbed flashlights from their stock and started waving them around, to advertise. But some people were frightened — one little boy cried as he emerged from the maze of RVs. “Are you the little boy who’s lost?” a man asked kindly. Another walkie-talkie-toting man ran to him. “Are you Justin?” he asked urgently as he swooped the boy into his arms. “Don’t worry, buddy, we’ve got you.” Half an hour into the blackout, the lights came back on. A man announced that a tree had fallen on a power line. But in a room filled with the glassy-eyed heads of dead animals, it was difficult not to imagine a more sinister scenario — as if the hunters, for a short time, had become the hunted. CATHY RESMER

STRETCHING THE LIMITS

Rubber bands hold stuff together, but as every grade-school student knows, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also handy for taking pot shots across the bow of authority. Like its namesake, the MontrĂŠal-based dance-fusion troupe Rubberbandance Group embodies both traditional strengths and mischievous potential. Headed by award-winning choreographer and L.A. native Victor Quijada, the snappy ensemble combines the storytelling prowess of classical dance with explosive hip-hop physicality, melding the freedom and energy of club-style breakdancing with the more nuanced techniques of ballet and modern dance. The five-member posse performed at the FlynnSpace in 2002, shortly after it was founded. Since then, works like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elastic Perspective,â&#x20AC;? which examines human relationships and how people imprison themselves, have bounced Rubberbandance toward further international recognition.

RUBBERBANDANCE GROUP Friday, January 27, Flynn MainStage, Burlington, 8 p.m. $23. Info, 863-5966. http://www.rubberbandancegroup.com http://www.flynncenter.org

WHEEL TO REEL

Spectators at this week’s ‘Cycling Cinema’ event won’t need to push any pedals to see some action. On the last Sunday of the next four months, pedestrian and bicycling advocacy nonprofit Local Motion and the repair-folks of the Old Spokes Home kickstand a homegrown, filmcentered bike rally at the Radio Bean. The first flick? The Triplets of Belleville, Sylvain Chomet’s endearingly quirky animation about a French matron who coaches her cycling-obsessed grandson to the Tour de France. Wine-drenched mafiosi spirit him across the Atlantic, and the formidable granny enlists the help an aged doo-wop trio to track him down. Good company, free movies — what’s not to bike?

DOCTOR WITHOUT BORDERS

Vietnamese traditional healer Quang Van Nguyen settled in Vermont in 1987. Here, he met shiatsu therapist Marjorie Pivar. Hundreds of hours of interviews later, the pair coauthored Fourth Uncle in the Mountain: A Memoir of a Barefoot Doctor in Vietnam. The 2004 book chronicles Nguyen’s first four decades, and documents South Vietnamese cultural and religious traditions. The adopted son of a respected Buddhist shaman and faith healer, Nguyen trained with an herbal medicine specialist, an acupuncturist and a near-mythical hermit, trapping ghosts in jars and winning martial arts matches between bouts of war. Catch Pivar’s reading, and hear her describe Nguyen and his work, which he’s continued in the Green Mountains.

JANUARY 26-FEBRUARY 01

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I don’t take drugs or alcohol, but I love to get high. Astrologer Caroline Casey states my belief perfectly when she says that we all need regular doses of vastness. So how do I crack open the doors of perception? Engaging in extreme horseplay is one way. Recently, for instance, three friends and I radically altered our consciousness in the middle of a cold night on the sidewalks of New York City’s Chelsea district. Oblivious to the taxis roaring by, we drove ourselves cheerfully insane as we did Appalachian square dances, channeled slapstick imitations of dead comedians Lenny Bruce and Bill Hicks, and taught each other chaotic meditation techniques we’d learned from various fake shamans. I urge you to be inspired by this example, Aries. You’re overdue for a dose of vastness that’s unleashed by raucous fun.

(April 20-May 20): Taurus philosopher Bertrand Russell gave this testimony about what motivated him: “Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and an unbearable pity for the suffering of humanity.” To be in maximum alignment with cosmic rhythms, Taurus, I suggest that you boil down your desires to a slightly altered version of Russell’s: a longing to both give and receive love, a hunger for knowledge, and a yearning to alleviate the suffering of your fellow humans.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Only about 20 percent of the population is capable of deriving the full benefit of my horoscopes. That’s because most people don’t speak the language of metaphor, which is a staple of my writing. Luckily, you’re among the minority that appreciates the symbolic approach to communication, and so you’ll be able to use the following oracle: You can’t possibly defeat or outmaneuver the ogre who’s monopolizing the treasure you covet. If you’re smart, you’ll realize that you should transfer your longing to a different treasure.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): Physics instructor David Willey can safely walk barefoot across fields of broken glass. He can also dip his fingers into vats of molten lead and lie sand-

wiched between two beds of nails without incurring injury. There’s no magic involved, he says. He relies solely on his understanding of science. Metaphorically speaking, these are the kinds of feats you’ll be able to pull off in the coming week, Cancerian. Like Willey, you shouldn’t depend on guesswork or luck. Do as he has done, which is research the laws of nature and use them to accomplish seemingly impossible tricks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The federal government of the United States has been dominated by right-wingers for years. But an opposite trend is now sweeping through the other America. Leftist leaders have recently come into power in Bolivia, Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina and Uruguay. This bears a certain resemblance to an adjustment that will soon be taking place in your life. Wherever you have become too one-sided, the other side will begin exerting a strong counterpoint. If any of your beliefs have become too dogmatic or unilateral, evidence will pour in to shake up your certainty. Don’t worry: This is a good and healthy thing. You’ll feel more flexible and free when the revolution comes.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The New York Times’ Deborah Solomon interviewed Peter Watson, author of Ideas: A History of Thought and Invention, from Fire to Freud. “What is the single worst idea in history?” she asked him. “Without question, ethical monotheism,” he replied. “The idea of one true god. The idea that our life and ethical conduct on earth determines how we will go in the next world. This has been responsible for most of the wars and bigotry in history.” Personally, I disagree with his curious assessment. I think history’s most terrible idea is the theory that some groups of people are smarter and better and deserve more rights than others. The coming week is a good time for you to meditate on these themes, Virgo. Which ideas do you consider bad ones, both those on a global scale and those that have at one time or another infected your belief system? (P.S. It’s also a perfect moment to fight those bad ideas.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I was meditat- CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): ing on your horoscope as I rode my bike up a trail to the top of a hill. “Give me a sign,” I asked the great mysterious intelligence known as nature. “Bless me with a symbol that will illuminate Libra’s imminent future.” My request was soon answered. I came upon a bare oak tree in whose low-hanging branches was nestled a radiocontrolled toy airplane. Why was it there? Its flight path had obviously gone astray, but it didn’t seem damaged. There was no one in sight. Why had its operator abandoned it? Here’s how I interpreted the omen’s meaning for you and your life, Libra: You experienced a minor glitch while engaged in some amusing activity, and that caused you to give up on the fun prematurely. It’s time to go back and solve the problem, then resume your enjoyment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “At the innermost core of all loneliness is a deep and powerful yearning for union with one’s lost self,” wrote Irish playwright Brendan Francis Behan. Let these words serve as your guiding light in the coming weeks, Scorpio. They should inspire you to be brave enough to confront the feelings of isolation that fester in your depths. That will in turn motivate you to reconnect with the parts of your psyche you were cut off from during times of trauma and unconsciousness in the past.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Professor Robert Crease asked physicists to name the 10 most beautiful experiments of all time. The winners were elegant and simple. They required minimal apparatus, few or no assistants, and little computational power. One was Galileo’s legendary proof of the nature of gravity, in which he dropped two objects of different weights from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Another was the brainchild of Isaac Newton, who used a prism to decompose sunlight into a spectrum of hues. I invite you to be inspired by the spirit of these beautiful experiments, Sagittarius. Come up with a lucid, ingenious hypothesis that will help you gather useful data about a question that’s crucial for you to explore.

Right before Christmas, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that slashed funding for student loans, child care, and health benefits for the elderly and poor. Vice President Dick Cheney aborted his trip abroad in order to race home and cast the tiebreaking vote. I suggest that you regard the 51 Scrooges who committed this sin as your antirole models in the coming days, Capricorn. You can’t afford to be anything but generous to the deprived and disadvantaged — including the underprivileged parts of your own psyche that you sometimes neglect.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Marie and Pierre Curie discovered radium. Chemist John Walker invented the match. Physicist Wilhelm Roentgen was the first person to find out about X-rays. What do these great minds have in common? They all refused to take out any patents in connection with their innovations, believing that they shouldn’t make any profit on something that rightfully belongs to everyone. They’re your role models right now, Aquarius. Let them inspire you to give away your brilliance for free. (P.S. I probably shouldn’t tell you this, but there’ll be a big reward for you if you do what I suggest.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ve entered the most shadowy and enigmatic phase of your astrological cycle, which is why I think you’re about to have a lot of interesting fun. You should look forward to your travels in the abyss with exuberant anticipation. Here are some guidelines to help you get the most out of the coming days. (1) Do the things that are hardest to do, but do them gladly and with grace, as if they were a great privilege. (2) Stay in intimate connection with your dark side, but don’t let that turn into an endorsement of your dark side’s fantasies. (3) Brainstorm about how to disarm and neutralize your adversaries without fighting them.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, My husband and I have been married for 10 years and we have four children who are 10 and under. We were separated for about a year because I had an affair with a woman and my husband, to be brief, flipped. The other woman isn’t in the picture anymore, but I did notice I prefer women. My husband and I are back in the same household again, but we’re at an impasse: He says if I ever have another affair, he’ll divorce me. I say OK, but if you accept me having an affair, should that happen, I want to keep our family together. Our ideas of “together” are obviously not the same. We can’t afford to sustain two households at the moment. The children suffered when we were apart — the workload was unmanageable, the logistics were a nightmare, and nobody benefited. What do you think about all this? Stuck in Starksboro, Dear Stuck, If ever a couple could benefit from counseling, you and your husband could. You need to sort out why you’re still together and whether this is really the best arrangement for everyone. Love, Lola

Mischief Meow! I would love to have your attention and affection. My name is Mischief – I don’t know why, because I am perfectly well-behaved. J I am an 8-year-old dilute Tortie medium-haired, spayed female cat. I am affectionate, social, confident, attentive, and gentle. I am easygoing, too. My previous human said that although I have lived with other cats, I would be okay on my own if you only wanted to have one kitty. But I would also enjoy a home with kids of all ages, other cats, and dogs too! I guess well-rounded would also be an accurate description. I really love my scratching post – a lady has to stretch – and I love batting around my kitty toys. I can be startled by sudden noises, but other than that I’m very outgoing. Wouldn’t you like to share your life with a mature lady like me? Maybe we can get into a little mischief together!
