When Smart People Say Dumb Things Oy: [links to a March 25 article in the Washington Post] “Impeachment is an outlet for anger and frustration, which I share, but politics ain’t therapy,” said Rep. Barney Frank, a Massachusetts liberal who declined to sign the Conyers resolution. “Bush would much rather debate impeachment than the disastrous war in Iraq.” NTodd sadly shakes his head. Barney, what do you think the impeachment debate would include if not the disastrous war in Iraq and the lies that led to it, not to mention illegal, unconstitutional warrantless wiretapping and all the other sins of this administration? This is a way for the Dems to control the debate. The snark about therapy is certainly clever, but wrong: impeachment is inherently a political act. What’s more, it is not just an outlet for anger and frustration, but a constitutional avenue to punish a president who has failed in his constitutional duties. Posted March 25 by N. Todd Pritsky

Burlington’s election [“Winners and Losers Have Different Takes on IRV,” March 22] may have been the Instant Runoff Voting system. As those of us who have seen such systems in action elsewhere predicted, it didn’t overly tax the brains of city residents. Now that the trial run has been successful, there is no excuse for the Senate, the House and the governor not to offer the same brand of spoiler-free elections to residents across the state. Unless, of course, they think that those of us in the hinterlands aren’t quite as bright as the residents of Burlington. Bill McKibben RIPTON

CRYING WOOLF?

Cathy Resmer referred to Art Woolf’s report on the economic and fiscal impacts of changing demographics in “What Do They Want Already?” [March 15]. Woolf cited census population projections and claimed that “If nothing is done, spending on . . . K-12 education and human services will absorb all of the revenues available to government by 2030. There will be no revenues available to support any other functions of government.” Wow. Pretty scary. But we 3x6-Timberlane030806R

can’t examine Mr. Woolf’s findings, because the report contains no information about the fiscal data used or the assumptions employed. He referred to “plausible” assumptions but didn’t share them with us. It’s impossible to assess the merit of Woolf’s argument if we can’t evaluate his data and assumptions. And it is disturbing that the governor and the president of UVM have quoted Mr. Woolf’s findings even though his work is not transparent. After announcing his findings, Mr. Woolf made his real intentions clear. He said, “State and local governments will have to dramatically increase taxes or drastically cut services” (this is the straw man). Since he thinks the former is unwise and the latter politically impossible, the only solution is to grow our way out. And to do so, we must “recognize the state’s liabilities that inhibit economic growth.” Mr. Woolf’s prescriptions for growing the economy are the same old “business climate” arguments we’ve heard for years (e.g., lower taxes for businesses and the wealthy), and there is no credible evidence that these factors have had an adverse impact on business or job growth. Issues of this importance deserve careful scrutiny. Until we get the information necessary to 3:35 PM

STAYING POWER

In a past issue you ran a very important article about what it would take for young people to stay in Vermont [“What Do They Want Already?” March 15]. However I was annoyed with the content of the article. This is a very important issue, and you were one of the first local publications (to my knowledge) to tackle it. For that I am thankful. Yet I feel that it unfairly painted young Vermonters as cell phone-addicted shopaholics. This issue of young Vermonters staying here is much deeper than the need for an amusement park and cell-phone reception. As a 23-year-old native Vermonter, I know firsthand how tempting it is to leave. I have seen all of my closest friends from as early as elementary school leave Vermont for another state. I can offer some incentives to keep the young ’uns here: universal health care, fewer tourists (despite how vital they are for the economy), fewer McMansions, a diversity of jobs, and less expensive education. This is a beautiful state that is aging. Thank you for attempting to shine a light on the topic. But

SMOKE OUT

I am writing in response to the “Eighteen Candles” story published on March 1. I would like to set the facts straight for Mr. Horowitz. I am a regular reader of Seven Days, and was very disappointed by his story. As the

store manager at Garcia’s, I do not take lightly to the misrepresentation of our business practices. So here are the facts: 1. You do not need to be 18 years of age to purchase rolling papers. It’s a matter of store policy for us to card for papers if the customer appears to be underage (16 years or younger). 2. Our rolling papers are not kept in a locked case, but in an overhead display accessible to the store employees only. 3. We sell ZigZag rolling

papers for $1.70 each and not the quoted $1.29. 4. If Mr. Horowitz had attempted to purchase items with tobacco (i.e., cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, etc.) either a week before or on the day of his birthday, we would have carded him. We take our business seriously, unlike Mr. Horowitz, who would rather write literary embellishments for dramatic effect than to report the facts as they are. Let’s hope in the future the editor will check the facts

before another such story is printed. Jaime-Lynn Taylor BURLINGTON

Taylor is the manager of Garcia Tobacco Shop. WAKE UP

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Gordon Robison for his wake-up call of an article about the rampant ignorance and apathy pervading American society in regards to the world at large [“What US Worry?” March 15]. As a graduate student studying the evolution and development of human culture and consciousness, it has become screamingly clear to me how urgent it really is that more of us who are, like it or not, at the leading edge of that development, and not incidentally the most privileged human beings ever to walk the face of the Earth, begin to wake up and realize that freedom is not free. And I’m not talking about sending our kids overseas to die protecting us all from evildoers. I mean that as citizens of the world’s first and only “hyperpower” (read: global empire), with access to more freedom, wealth and education than anyone or any time in history, we have an obligation to the rest of the world to use all of that freedom and, yes, power, for something higher than our own self

interests. The free ride can only last so long before it becomes a slow slide into decadence and moral decay. Echoes of Rome? The first problem is the increasingly untenable belief that we’re somehow separate or insulated from what’s going on “out there” in the world. One would have thought that 9/11 might have shattered that illusion, but unfortunately most of us are still being lulled into a narcissistic semi-coma by the media, a picture Mr. Robison paints very clearly and I believe accurately. At the risk of sounding trite, more of us need to wake up from this media-induced stupor and realize that we are the world and there is no “out there.” I’m not saying that we need to give up our national pride or love of country, but just as we here in the Green Mountain State can be both Vermonters and Americans without contradiction, we need to begin identifying ourselves less as citizens of a separate and isolated nation and more as citizens of a world that is increasingly interconnected in ways we just can’t afford to ignore any longer. In a rapidly globalizing world, global consciousness is not just a nice idea, it’s a moral imperative. Dan Capone BURLINGTON MORE LETTERS >> 23A

KINGDOM COUNTY

PRODUCTIONS

ENOSBURG FALLS — What can a small group of individuals living in the hills of Vermont do about war-and-peace issues on the international stage? Quite a bit, actually — or so suggested the approximately 35 people who gathered last Saturday for the first Enosburg Peace Convention. In the face of daunting global dilemmas, local action is perhaps the most important of all. “If we expect someone else to do it for us, we’re going to fail. To have peace, we have to do it ourselves,” said Miah King, one of the convention organizers. He is also an active member of the Enosburg Area Candlelight Vigil, which sponsored the event and has been meeting weekly since before the U.S. invasion of Iraq just over three years ago. The convention was held at St.

Matthew’s Episcopal Parish Hall, tucked away on a back street of this northwestern Vermont village. Its resulting message of peace will be sent to officials at local, federal and international levels, including at the White House and the United Nations, King said. The 770-word resolution calls for a “shift from a war economy” — 42 percent of Vermonters’ federal taxes go toward war — to a “peace economy,” as well as a return to constitutional rights at home, recognition of international law abroad, and a commitment to teaching and practicing peace. It also calls for an end to the Bush administration’s “unconstitutional practices,” including its policy of preemptive war. The resolution was unanimously agreed upon after a full day of sometimes heated debate

about how to effect real change. In addition to a diverse, 11member panel of local, regional and international peace activists, human rights advocates and political organizers, the convention also featured original music from local high school rock band The Broadcasters, and essays written by local youth. Regardless of what happens with the resolution, King said, the group plans to host a second convention next year, meanwhile promoting peace locally and demonstrating that antiwar sentiments are strong even outside of large urban areas. “It’s real, local, small communities that are willing to stand up,” King said. “We want to really keep interacting with our community. We want to mainstream peace.” m

Champlain Water District Switches Its Chemical Mix BY KEN PICARD

SOUTH BURLINGTON — The Champlain Water District (CWD) is changing the way it disinfects its water in order to make it safer to drink. Beginning April 10, CWD will switch from using “free chlorine” to a “chloramines residual.” The switch will affect the water used by about 68,000 people in 12 municipal water systems in Chittenden County, including South Burlington, Shelburne, Williston, Essex, Essex Junction, Winooski, Milton, Jericho Village and most of Colchester. The change has been in the works for four years. As Mike Barsotti, CWD’s director of water quality and production, explains, it’s being made for two reasons. First, chloramines are a longerlasting disinfectant than chlorine and don’t dissipate as quickly within the vast water-distribution network. Second, using chloramines reduces the total number of disinfection byproducts by 40 to 60 percent. Disinfection byproducts, which can be dangerous to human health, are created when a disinfectant reacts with naturally occurring materials in

the water. The Safe Drinking Water Act requires public water systems to reduce their amount of disinfection byproducts. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers chloramines the “best available technology.” Like chlorine, chloramines — made by combining chlorine and ammonia — are added to water used for drinking, cooking, cleaning and bathing to protect against biological and microbial growth. Chloriminated water also doesn’t have the smell or taste of chlorine. But the change does have downsides, Barsotti says. For one, water treated with chloramines cannot be used for kidney dialysis because chloramines are toxic in the bloodstream. The digestive system breaks down chloramines, which makes them safe to drink, the CWD notes. However, CWD and the Vermont Department of Health have been in contact with the dialysis unit at Fletcher Allen Health Care, which has already modified its water system to accommodate the change. Other dialysis clinics and patients have also been notified.

A second concern, Barsotti explains, is that chloramines are toxic to fish. Unlike chlorine, which dissipates from water when it’s exposed to the air for several days, chloramines linger for weeks. As a result, aquarium owners, fish stores, restaurants and fish markets that now treat for chlorine — in both saltwater and freshwater tanks — will need to start using carbon-filtration systems or other water treatment products. Otherwise, the EPA and the

BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE Firefighters last Friday torched the vacant house at 280 N. Winooski Ave. in Burlington in a daylong controlled burn. Landlord Clark W. Hinsdale II bought the property in 1984, but it had been vacant for two decades before Laurie Smith acquired it in a land trade with Hinsdale in November. Smith owns the building next door, at 274 N. Winooski Ave. Local business owners had complained about the dilapidated property for years. Last August Paula Haskell, whose Greener Pastures thrift store then occupied Smith’s storefront, told Seven Days that the building was a chronic nuisance. “Every morning when I drive in, I’m picking up broken bottles, syringes,” she said. “God knows what’s going on in that house.” The Burlington Code Enforcement Office forced Hinsdale to pay $5000 in vacant-building fines before the sale. When the firefighters finished, all that was left of the two-story house was a smoldering pit of rubble.

state health department both consider chloramines to be the safest and most cost-effective way to disinfect water. According to Barsotti, chloramines have been used in other public water systems around the country as far back as 1908. Today, it’s added to the public water systems in Boston, Philadelphia, Miami, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston and Washington, D.C. “These are very large population centers we’re talking about,” says Barsotti. “It’s not really controversial.” However, as in the recent debate over the use of fluoride in Burlington, not everyone is satisfied by the government’s safety assurances about chloramines. Ellen Powell, a South Burlington resident and a recipient of CWD water, says she’s deeply concerned about the use of chloramines, in part because of its potential impact on lead levels in her tap water. When Washington, D.C., switched over from chlorine to chloramines, thousands of homes showed lead levels in their water that far exceeded the federal limit of 15 parts per billion. Excessive

lead in the human body can cause serious damage to the brain, kidneys, nervous system and red blood cells, and is particularly dangerous to pregnant women and young children. According to the Washington, D.C., Emergency Information Center, water filters had to be shipped to 23,000 homes with lead in their service lines. A similar problem arose in Greenville, North Carolina. Two unrelated children, both under the age of 4, showed blood-lead levels at least 150 times higher than what’s considered medically acceptable. That problem was eventually traced back to the water supplier’s recent switch to chloramines. Bill Bress, a state toxicologist with the Vermont Department of Health, says this problem has already been foreseen and addressed. He explains that the chlorine in the Washington, D.C., water supply prevented the corrosion of lead solder in the pipes. Once the chlorine was removed, lead levels began to spike. Bress says this problem will be ameliorated by CWD adding zinc orthophos-

phate, an anti-corrosive agent, to the water. In addition, Bress says, CWD will continue monitoring for elevated lead and copper levels. “That water system is excellent,” Bress says. “Their staff really knows what they’re doing.” Still, Powell isn’t convinced. She claims that no epidemiological tests have been done on the human health effects of chloramines, and she points to a number of incidents around the country when people or their pets have had adverse reactions to chloramines-treated water, including skin and respiratory problems. And in September 2004, a scientist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign discovered a disinfection byproduct in chloramines-treated water that he called “the most toxic ever found.” Several local environmental groups have expressed an interest in the chloramines issue, including Vermonters for a Clean Environment, the Conservation Law Foundation and the Vermont Public Interest Research Group. However, none has taken a formal position for or against it. m

ST. GEORGE — People in Chittenden County sometimes snicker at the odd little burg of St. George. When the town was chartered in 1763, a surveying mistake left it with 20,000 fewer acres than expected. So on a map, the 3.6-square-mile town — Vermont’s smallest — resembles a box that has been carelessly dropped, and one of its corners collapsed. St. George’s 688 residents lack amenities such as municipal water and septic service. They have no schools or fire department. They’ve got a Williston zip code and a Hinesburg telephone exchange. But they call their resolutely rural community the county’s “hidden jewel,” and they’re eager to protect it. At least that was the prevailing sentiment at the “visioning workshop” in the St. George town office on March 22. The St. George Planning Commission sponsored the two-and-a-half-hour evening session to generate public input for the rewrite of the town plan, which was last revised in 1991. More than 20 residents — mostly young professionals, as well as a farmer, an artist and an older woman in a purple hat — packed the converted ranch house to discuss what makes St. George special, and how to keep it that way. Planning commissioners say the rewrite is long overdue. They point out that St. George has so far escaped the building booms taking place in neighboring Williston, Shelburne and Hinesburg — just 35 percent of St. George has been developed — but that may be about to change, they warn. The town’s poor drainage and

lack of infrastructure have traditionally hampered development, but commissioners fear that as technology improves, those restrictions will fade. And they say the town plan isn’t specific enough to prevent developers from gobbling up open space. A flier advertising the visioning workshop claims that under the current zoning restrictions, over 2000 of the town’s 2325 acres are considered buildable. And the current plan could allow the town, which has just 270 homes, to add another 510. Planning Commissioner Scott Baker is also concerned about keeping big-box stores out of St. George, which is just down the road from Taft Corners. “A town like Williston can absorb a PetSmart,” Baker observes. “In St. George, even a single project can change the entire face of the town.” Consultant Brandy Saxton of Place Sense led the workshop. Saxton’s work is funded through a $10,000 grant the Planning Commission recently won. The consultant first asked participants to separate into four groups to describe the town of St. George. One group gathered around a metal folding table in the office kitchen. They came up with adjectives such as “small” and “beautiful.” Planning Commissioner Ron Arms observed, “It’s kind of neat to be on a Class 4 road in Chittenden County.” One woman noted that St. George is really several separate communities. There are housing developments and a trailer park along Routes 116 and 2A, and other, larger houses tucked away

The current plan could allow the town, which has just 270 homes, to add another 510. town’s open space as a strength, and lack of protections for it as a weakness. But residents had different ideas about how best to protect the space. And the final exercise of the night, crafting vision statements, turned out to be particularly tricky. By now the crowd had thinned, and just three groups attempted to produce a vision. Only two were successful. Some people wanted to see more development in a “pedestrian friendly town with neighborhoods surrounded by publicly accessible conservation land.� Others suggested preserving open land “through economic benefit for landowners.� In fact, a survey distributed at Town Meeting Day asked residents how much they would be willing to contribute to a town fund to preserve open space. It’s not a theoretical question — the town’s only dairy farm just sold its herd. Selling the farm may be next. Results of the survey will be posted on the Place Sense website within a few weeks. One group agreed that landowners should be compensated somehow, but deadlocked over whether development should occur in a manufactured town center. One woman argued for 10acre lots, while a man supported quarter-acre lots surrounded by more open space. When Saxton asked the group to report, Planning Commission member Connie Kendall summed up their 20-minute exchange: “There is not one vision.� Saxton closed the meeting by inviting everyone to attend planning sessions scheduled for the second Wednesday of every month for the next year. Before he left, Commissioner Scott Baker said the process couldn’t get started soon enough. He noted that construction is about to begin on the town’s first convenience store, and pointed out that 75 acres in the town center are still available for development. An effort to create a town center in the 1970s fizzled, but Baker thinks it’s nearing time for another try. “That kind of noose,� he said, “is tightening.� m

Because everything’s spread out, even traveling in town can be difficult, especially when the dirt roads are bad, she said. “I had to drive through three other towns just to get here.� There was a lot of agreement about how to describe the town.

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

—Dave Angier and Cathy Ladd

Protest Grows Over Chris Graff’s Firing

L

ast week’s out-of-the-blue firing of Christopher Graff, Vermont’s longtime Associated Press bureau chief, certainly sent out some mighty big shock waves. The New York Times got in on the act. On the Web, Matt Drudge did, too. Thursday morning at 7:15 sharp, yours truly got a call from a regular reader. He informed us the Drudge Report had just posted a link to our column titled “Why the AP Fired Christopher Graff.” Drudge gets more than 10 million hits per day. It took just 10 minutes for the Seven Days website to crash! We were down for four hours, until Drudge finally removed the link. Yours truly’s been told the “problem” has been fixed. There’s also been a “cordial” exchange of rather pointed letters between the Vermont Big Four — Gov. Jim Douglas and the congressional delegation of Sens. Patrick Leahy, Jim Jeffords and Rep. Bernie Sanders — and Tom Curley, the head of AP. Their March 24 letter to Curley noted they were all “stunned, outraged and saddened by the summary dismissal” of Chris Graff. They also noted, “There have been many reports suggesting the reasons for Mr. Graff’s abrupt termination. Although we choose not to fuel speculation, we believe that if any of these reports were founded, it would represent a serious breach of trust by AP with its loyal Vermont readership.” That didn’t sit well with Curley. In the AP boss’ response, which made the AP wire before any of the Big Four received a copy, Curley sarcastically thanked them for their letter, and their “sincere concern about Chris Graff, your deep understanding of the role of The Associated Press, and your steadfast support for the free flow of information.” Curley then proceeded to lecture the Vermont Big Four on the law and the many great journalistic achievements of the AP, writing, “You further suggested that AP might be bowing to political pressure. That’s just nuts. The issue is purely one of internal policy.” In a nutshell, the AP boss told the Vermont delegation to butt out. On Monday, Newshounds — http://www.newshounds.us — a website that “watches Fox so you don’t have to,” posted a very interesting piece: “Vermont AP Reporter Who Opposed O’Reilly Has Been Fired.” Reporter Marie Therese recounted Fox “News” Bully Boy Bill O’Reilly’s on-air attacks on Mr. Graff during his three-week January crusade to crucify District Court Judge Ed Cashman and all who defended him. She also posted a 2004 AP press release confirming a business relationship between Fox “News” and Curley’s AP. Maybe being on Bully Boy’s hit list counted for more than anyone imagined? Also this week, Emerson Lynn, publisher/editor of the St. Albans Messenger, mailed and published a stinging letter to the AP’s Curley. Here’s a taste: I respectfully request you to forward me information as to the process required to cancel The St. Albans Messenger’s membership with the Associated Press. Mr. Graff is an institution in Vermont. For almost 30 years he has been one of the

guiding forces of high-quality journalism in our state. His integrity is above reproach . . . He is the primary reason you have a business in Vermont — a business we pay for as a cooperative. We are asking that you restore our trust in the Associated Press. We are asking for a full and satisfactory explanation as to what prompted Mr. Graff’s dismissal. Failing that, please forward us the information regarding our need to cancel our AP memberships. Yours truly has also heard of more interest from media watchdog groups, so stay tuned. Also stay tuned to “Vermont This Week” on Vermont Public Television, where Chris continues to occupy the anchor/editor seat. He was there last Friday night as usual and told viewers that he and his family “have been overwhelmed and deeply touched by all the people who have responded with support and who have had such nice things to say about my work over the years.” As for AP, the wire service posted its new Montpelier job opening Tuesday, noting “Chris Graff has left the company.” In addition to the usual job qualifications such as “demonstrated excellence as a reporter,” AP also wants someone who: Should be comfortable with the Internet environment and eager to help the AP evolve in meeting new media concerns. Supervisory experience strongly preferred. Should have three years of full-time experience at an AP bureau, daily newspaper or broadcast station. Yep, AP standards are so high, they’d trade 27 years experience for three in the blink of an eye. Everyone expects that, once this simmers down, AP will tap veteran Statehouse/political reporter Ross Sneyd as Graff’s replacement. Mr. Sneyd is highly respected and his work reflects the same high standard Graff set. Which is why the “new” AP will probably fool the “experts,” show Vermont who’s boss, and bring in someone new from out of state. Breaking News — “Inside Track” has learned that the wheels are once again spinning behind the scenes to fill the longvacant post of Vermont’s U.S. Attorney. The U.S. Attorney is the top federal law enforcement officer in Vermont. It’s a mighty powerful position and, given the secrecy-prone regime in power in Washington, politics inevitably plays a role. The post has been open since former U.S. Attorney Peter Hall left in 2004 to become a judge. Veteran Assistant U.S. Attorney David Kirby has been filling in as “acting” boss. Republican Gov. Douglas and Democratic Sen. Leahy teamed up to nominate Burlington Attorney Richie Berger for the post. But the Bush White House reportedly had some unspecified problem with Mr. Berger, and last September he withdrew his nomination. “Inside Track” has learned from sources who asked not to be identified that Thomas Anderson, an assistant U.S. attorney on the Burlington staff, has

emerged as the next candidate for the post. AUSA Anderson heads up the local Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force. Anderson did not respond to the voicemail Tuesday morning requesting an interview. The offices of both Gov. Douglas and Sen. Leahy issued quick “we have no comment� responses to our inquiry as well. Mr. Anderson, we’ve also learned, is a fan of the controversial Patriot Act, a law that makes most real patriots we know cringe. Anderson wrote an August 3, 2004, op-ed in the Freeps. He noted it had been written, “in my own personal capacity and not as an assistant United States attorney.� In it, Anderson went after Patriot Act critics, in particular Independent U.S. Rep. Bernie Sanders. In fact, John Ashcroft, AG at the time, couldn’t have written it better. A sample: Recently there has been extensive press coverage of Rep. Bernard Sanders’ opposition to the USA Patriot Act. Much of this coverage has been inaccurate, unbalanced and unnecessarily frightening to the public. It is time to set the record straight . . . One provision that opponents particularly criticize is the business records provision (Section 215), which opponents, including Sanders, claim gives law enforcement carteblanche to examine our reading habits at libraries or bookstores. This claim is misleading and intended to frighten law-abiding citizens . . . Are these critics of the Patriot Act advocating shielding from law enforcement scrutiny the library records of terrorists who obtain books or other materials on bomb building or anthrax cultivation? What do you think? Based on his writing, Mr. Anderson sure sounds like a guy in sync with the Bush Justice Department. Good luck, Tom. What Governor’s Race? — All the early money is on Republican Gov. Jim Douglas winning his third consecutive gubernatorial race in November. Most consider his Democratic challenger, Scudder Parker, a long shot. So far, the Vermont press has been paying more attention to the races for U.S. Senate and U.S. House. So a few Vermont political junkies did a double take Sunday morning when they read the editorial page of the Rutland Herald. “Candidate Offers New Paradigm.� What the hell’s a “paradigm�? Sounds like something that goes into a car’s engine. “Scudder Parker, the Democratic candidate for governor,� wrote the Herald, “has quietly been laying the groundwork for his campaign, articulating in his quiet way a serious critique of the way the Douglas administration has approached the crucial issues of the day.� The editorial page that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2001 noted Parker is not well known, while Gov. Scissorhands is “a popular Republican incumbent who has won the confidence of many Vermonters as a careful steward

of the state’s finances.� But then the paper pointed out that Ol’ Scuddah “brings to the challenge a vision of government that moves beyond the usual dichotomy between liberal and conservative, Republican and Democrat. Whether he wins or loses, he is in a position to articulate a new way of thinking about complex issues that could be an enormous contribution.� A “new way of thinking,� eh? “Parker’s work (at the Public Service Department in the 1990s) led to the creation of an entity separate from the utilities that was financed with money from the utilities. Efficiency Vermont has a mandate to help business and residents invest in energyefficient technologies and ways of operating that reduce the consumption of electricity. It has been a huge success.� The Herald editorial wondered: Couldn’t the “paradigm� or “quasi-government� model Parker created with Efficiency Vermont to advance the public interest in energy conservation be applied elsewhere, such as in tackling out-of-control healthcare costs? Ol’ Scuddah, wrote the Herald, “criticizes Douglas as trapped by old modes of thinking, and he faults Douglas for lack of leadership in health care, energy and other areas. The new kind of thinking advocated by Parker may be part of a new wave taking shape nationwide.� We bumped into the “new kind of thinking� candidate in downtown Burlington on Monday. Needless to say, he was delighted by Sunday’s editorial. Parker said he’d had “a very straightforward and substantive discussion� with the paper’s editorial board. “This is what came out of it, and I was very pleased and proud of what it says.� Shifting gears, we asked Candidate Parker if he had anything to say about Gov. Douglas’ recent Pentagon-sponsored trip to visit Vermont troops in the war zones of Afghanistan and Iraq. “What I’d like to see,� said Ol’ Scuddah, “is Jim Douglas make a clear and unequivocal statement about the war. What does he think? What is his position on it?� Parker told us he was “stunned� to hear “how supportive the governor sounded of the war effort and how optimistic he was about it — based on what evidence? At his presser last week, Gov. Jimbo was questioned on that very subject. The strong opposition to the Bush war policy by a solid majority of Vermonters, as well as the state’s entire congressional delegation, was noted by a questioner. So was the growing grassroots movement to get the Vermont legislature to pass, and forward to the U.S. House, the so-called Rutland Resolution — now adopted by 10 Democratic county committees — calling for the impeachment of our out-ofcontrol president. “I’m focused on what is happening in our state on the agenda of affordability that I’ve talked about,� replied Douglas. “I’m not involved in federal issues, and you

theborowitz report BY ANDY BOROWITZ Bush Outsources Town Hall Meetings to India President George W. Bush announced today that he would no longer preside over so-called town hall meetings across the United States and that those duties would now be outsourced to a “presidential customer service representative” stationed in Bangalore, India. The controversial decision to outsource town hall meetings to India was not motivated by the increasingly acrimonious tone of citizens’ questions in recent weeks, the president said. “This move is designed to free up my time for other duties, such as wiretapping the American people at random,” Mr. Bush said. At a town hall meeting today in Dayton, Ohio, attendees were surprised to be greeted not by the president but instead by a speakerbox onstage leading them through a series of automated prompts. “Say ‘1’ if you want to ask about the economy, say ‘2’ if you want to ask about the war on terror, and say ‘3’ if you want to ask about the prescription drug plan,” the speakerbox said. The town hall meeting was then conducted by a disembodied voice who identified himself only as “Rajiv” and attempted to answer the audience’s questions on a host of issues. CNN’s Lou Dobbs, usually an outspoken critic of outsourcing, said that the president’s decision to outsource town hall meetings to India was a rare case when outsourcing works: “For one thing, Rajiv’s English is better than his.” Elsewhere, a prison guard who used a snarling dog to intimidate prisoners at Abu Ghraib was given a six-month sentence, and the snarling dog has been transferred to work for White House press spokesman Scott McClellan. >

Shelburne Road Story

y trusty Wolverines had been looking quite ragged — pathetic, actually — so I pulled into the Danform Shoe outlet in search of a replacement pair. I had just switched off the ignition when a man appeared, seemingly — and startlingly — out of nowhere, at my driver’s-side window. He was dressed in layers of worn-out winter gear, including a thick woolen hat of hunter’s orange. A short man, he sported a three-day, rust-colored stubble. Though he appeared at least 50, I had a feeling he was much younger. Patiently he stood in place as we silently looked at each other for more than a moment — a stilllife tableau on Shelburne Road. Finally, I lowered my window.

The front porch of Barry’s cabin was cluttered with the detritus of too many garage sales. He emerged toting an unboxed 27-inch TV. . . “Are you on duty, sir?� he asked. “Sure thing,� I replied. Even when I’m not technically working, I’ll rarely turn down a paying fare. “Whaddaya need, buddy?� “I got to exchange a TV at K-Mart. The one I got yesterday ain’t workin’ right. Could you meet me at my place?� He gestured down the road in the direction of a motley assemblage of pint-sized, beige cabins. During the time I’ve lived in Chittenden County, the local commercial environment has grown ever more upscale — from the restaurants to the retail stores to the hospitality industry. But along Shelburne Road, a few funky, non-franchise motels manage to hang on. And for many down-on-theirluck folks, these motel rooms serve as permanent living quarters. “Listen,� I said, “why don’t I just drive you over, and you can pick up the TV you’re returning and we’ll shoot down to K-Mart.� “Oh, that’d be great,� he said. “The name’s Barry, by the way.� We shook hands. The front porch of Barry’s cabin was cluttered with the detritus of too many garage sales. He emerged toting an unboxed 27-inch TV, his various pockets overflowing with instructions, warranty forms, wires, plugs and the remote. “Yup,� he said, dropping the TV onto the rear seat, “they said they’ll have the new one waiting for me at the service desk.� “So, Barry,� I asked as we sped towards K-Mart, “you doing any kind of work?� “You bet,� he replied. “I work flea markets. Mostly I’m dealing in pottery. It slows down quite a bit in the winter.� “Yeah, I could see that. Hey, I don’t know how long you’ve been living at the

On the way into town, Barry gazed out at the blustery March weather and said, “Looks like a perfect day to spend at the library.â€? “Great idea,â€? I said. “You like to read, huh?â€? “Nope, I’m illiterate. The library’s just a nice, warm place to hang out.â€? “Really? You seem like a sharp enough guy, man.

So, I mostly stayed at the apartment or the bar. She didn’t want me walking to school.â€? I pulled to a stop in front of the Fletcher Free Library. “You know,â€? I said, “there are adult literacy programs in town. It’s never too late, man.â€? “Thanks just the same,â€? Barry said as he opened the door to take his leave. There was no disappointment in his expression, no sense of missed opportunity or loss. I got the feeling that Barry’s life was what it * SEE STORE FOR DETAILS.

Levittown, N.Y., said that Frank Traina, 36, walked into a Chinese restaurant, pointed a handgun at the owner and demanded cash. When the victim noticed water dripping from the gun barrel, he realized it was a water pistol, which Traina apparently had filled before the robbery attempt. He fled but was apprehended. • Authorities in Harrison County, Ohio, said that Michael Chapman, 54, stole a car whose owner had left it running in her driveway, but after going about three miles, he needed directions to a nearby town. He stopped at the first home he came to, owned by Thomas Eltringham.

It concluded that the new technology could be even more distracting than trying to read a map while driving. The survey found that one in 10 drivers with navigation systems sets off on trips without programming the intended route, and more than half admitted taking their eyes off the road to input details while driving.

Orland Park Police Chief Tim McCarthy, whose department oversees crossing guards, noted that Danis had been warned in writing twice before not to espouse his beliefs while on duty or in uniform, insisting, “It has nothing to do with urine therapy.” • Police who arrested Alan Patton, 54, outside a movie theater in Gahanna, Ohio, said he admitted that he enjoys drinking urine. “He told us he’s been doing it over 40 years, since he was 7 years old,” Detective Ron Fithen said. Investigators explained that Patton goes to family restaurants and movie theaters and waits in a bathroom stall. He shuts off the water to the child-level urinals and puts a cup in the bottom, then, after the child leaves, “he goes back and retrieves the cup and drinks the urine,” Fithen said. Patton indicated that it makes him sick, but he explained that drinking the boys’ urine is almost spiritual to him, “like I’m drinking their youth.”

His clothed elbow was all of him that was visible when his friend, Gregory Scott Wood, approached from behind the tree and fired his rifle. • Authorities in Charleston County, S.C., asked residents not to recycle guns and ammunition after workers sorting items at the county recycling plant found two bags containing bullets and a box containing bullets and three guns, one of which was loaded.

Guild, who is retired and lives at the Maplewood Gardens Retirement Apartments in Spokane, told the Spokesman-Review that the ban on indoor smoking is forcing him and other smokers there, some using wheelchairs and walkers, to brave ice and snow to get to a structure that is far enough away from the facility to meet the ban’s requirements “There’s overhead heating, but it’s very inconvenient, and there are no facilities,” Guild said, noting that restrooms are important for folks his age.

ven the most avid spring cleaners have nothing on Hinesburg’s Darrel Depot. He and his crew of five employees — on call 24/7, 365 — clean up the messes wrought by fire, water and other elements. Equipped with four vans, one truck, $3000 Shop-Vacs and special soot sponges, Purofirst gets down with dirt. It’s a fairly new endeavor for Depot, 37. The Vermont native spent a decade Darrel Depot and a half traveling around the country, Owner, Purofirst Disaster Response consulting with paper and steel mills, before he founded Purofirst in June 2005. Hinesburg “I wind up on my knees, ripping out wet carpet, cleaning sewage, sometimes just doing nasty stuff,” he observes. On a recent spring morning, Seven Days asked Depot to come clean. SD: What attracted you to disaster response? DD: You’re catching people, unfortunately, at their worst, when the ceilings are falling down and the roof is caving in or someone’s had a fire and they don’t know what to do. The ability to make a bad situation a little bit better was really appealing to me. SD: What is a typical day like? DD: There’s no predictability. We may get four or five calls a day. Someone will say, “I’ve got 4 inches of water in my basement,” or “My washing machine has leaked on the second floor,” and then we dispatch a crew immediately to assess what’s going on, stop any further damage, and then begin to remove debris and dry the structure. We really do some hand holding, too. SD: Do you feel like a psychologist sometimes, then? DD: We just had a woman who was really crying her eyes out. She hadn’t filled the oil tank on her new home in Stowe, and all the pipes froze. She showed up from New Jersey with the moving company and didn’t have the oil tank refilled, so all the pipes froze and the home was ruined. Probably looking at $80,000 to $100,000 in repairs, and she wasn’t insured. That’ll make anybody cry. SD: What is some the worst damage you’ve seen? DD: We just had one where we were

called by the Essex Police Department; there were ice pillars coming out of a home and the people had gone away to Florida . . . SD: Wait, coming out of a home? DD: Yeah, coming out of the eaves; they had water flowing out of the house and freezing into a little ice wall outside. The heating oil company hadn’t come on its scheduled delivery. SD: So it was like an ice castle? DD: More like an ice catastrophe. We’ve also gone into basements where washers and dryers were floating, all their possessions in 4 feet of water — power tools and furniture, just floating along. You’ve got to pump out all the water, save what you can, throw out the rest, and then dry out the structure. Standing water is what we call dumb water: You can see it, but people don’t know that water can go up sheetrock, and go underneath carpet, and get behind walls, and go under hardwood floors, which can mold. In some cases that’s a bigger problem than the water itself. So we bring in testing equipment, like this probe, to take psychrometric readings. SD: Is that like in Ghostbusters? DD: Uh, no. We take humidity readings, temperature readings. We’ll take the size of a room, the class and category of water damage. That determines how much dehumidification is needed, the number of fans needed in

a room and how we dry the structure. That’s psychrometry. SD: Do you have to be good at chemistry for this job? DD: No, but you have to be a detective for this job. It’s like the CSI of . . . Waterworld. SD: What sort of mindless things have you seen cause disasters? DD: A guy bought a brand-new condo and he went upstairs to check out the new hot tub. He wanted to fill it, and then he left to go have lunch with his buddies. When he came back, there was probably a good $30,000 to $40,000 worth of damage to his new condo. SD: What about fire? DD: Cigarette fires, kids playing with matches. We went to a house twice last summer where a kid set fire to his room. SD: On purpose? DD: Uh, yeah. He had a little bit of a problem, I think, mentally. We had another one where someone left a candle burning. It acted as a chimney and just kept pouring smoke into the home — two floors, soot everywhere. SD: I’m always freaked about leaving the coffee pot or the stove on. Have you had fires from those? DD: Coffee pots, no. Stoves yes — people who have left bacon on. We get so many crazy different things. Frying chicken and they burn it. Damn chickens, they’re getting their revenge. SD: What other disasters do you handle besides fire and water? DD: Sewage. Skunks. Rodents. Dead-animal calls. It’s a dirty job. The sewage ones are not fun. SD: Did you feel any impact from Katrina? DD: A lot of the feeling was helpless-

ness; we have the tools to help, but were advised not to go. The devastation was to a point that we would only get in peoples’ way. They’re in a very different area down there, a floodplain. But if a lesson can be learned, it’s to be aware of your surroundings and to keep an inventory of what’s on your insurance policy. SD: Do you do any crime-scene clean-ups? DD: We have, but my philosophy is, if I wouldn’t do it, I wouldn’t want my guys doing it, and emotionally it really takes a toll on somebody. SD: Do you have any helpful hints for cleaning? DD: There’s no magic to what we do, it’s a lot of elbow grease. It’s cleaning to the nth degree. There’s a difference between bringing in a maid service and bringing in a company that can professionally clean a house from, say, soot. We’ve had people wake up from a puffback, which is when a furnace will spew soot into the home. They’ve been covered in soot, they look in the mirror and they go, ‘Baaah!’ That’s pretty funny. SD: What is the hardest thing to clean? DD: A heavy soot or a grease fire, it’s hard to get off the walls; it makes life difficult for everybody. SD: What do you do for mold? DD: We cut it out, sand things down and use appropriate air filtration. But mold’s everywhere, mold’s in your shoe right now, mold’s on us. Mold is a fact of life. If Daddy doesn’t get all macho and think he can do everything with his little Shop-Vac, give us a call, we’ll dry out the structure, and mold won’t be an issue. SD: I guess people don’t want to be repeat customers? DD: Yeah, people say, “You guys are great, but don’t ever come back!” m

REPLY TO FELL

Dear Mr. Fell [“Letters,” March 15]: In preparation for your trial the government hired the research firm Macro International to conduct focus-group, mock jury deliberations in which I was a participant and was paid $100. We were given all the facts of the case as agreed upon by both the prosecution and defense. Then we heard “closing arguments” by attorneys representing both sides. After that, the panel I was on (one of several

I followed your real trial as best I could in the newspapers and on TV. It seems perfectly clear that the prosecution used the results of Macro’s research in selecting a jury, in petitioning the judge with respect to the presentation of evidence, in their arguments, and with respect to positioning the aggrieved relatives in the public eye — all to the point of securing the penalty they desired without regard to the longstanding customs, sensibilities

separate “juries”) answered questionnaires and deliberated for about two hours while being observed through a one-way mirror. We were asked to decide between the death penalty and life in prison without the possibility of parole. I was chosen foreman. There were seven people on the jury. Before any discussion at all we voted 5-2 for life in prison. At the end of the discussion we voted 6-1 for life in prison. Several members of the jury expressed considerable contempt for the choices provided, “life without parole” being considered almost as barbaric, unnecessary and disrespectful of any humane notion of equity or justice as the death penalty itself. Most countries accept that people can experience genuine remorse for their mistakes, reform themselves, and make a better life. Furthermore, I pointed out that putting you to death would provide no tangible benefit to the bereaved relatives of the victims, that their “rights” in this regard are an ignorant and hopeless fantasy, the fulfillment of which only serves to protect the reputation and so-called “honor” of public officials who collectively share — through egregious neglect — responsibility for your actions, and whose case against you was a fraud and dishonor with an entirely political motivation — to contrive a means to get Vermonters to accept the death penalty. Several of the other members of the jury agreed with this assessment.

and sense of fair play among the majority of your peers in Vermont, New York, and the country as a whole. In other words, your trial was “rigged.” I hope you plan to appeal and stick with those appeals to the last. I pray that you will succeed, and that some day the government will come to its senses and offer you another chance to redeem your life as an independent and self-governing person.

ON THE HOUSE

Regarding your article “Homelessness Advocates Critical of Female Offender Home” [March 15], I disagree that the project is diverting resources from the homeless. Northern Lights Consortium is actually attempting to provide transitional housing to a faction of the potential homeless. My experience has been that over 75 percent of women offenders who exit the system on their own, without support (financial and/or otherwise), have returned to prison. This level of recidivism will ultimately leave these women to “max out” (serve their maximum sentence), and become part of the homeless problem we are speaking about. Women offenders face unique challenges as they attempt to transition out of prison. Northern Lights will provide an opportunity for these women to appropriately address these challenges. It will also pro-

vide them with an opportunity to make a positive contribution to our community, which could only serve to enhance their rehabilitative process. The Northern Lights project is a worthwhile venture. It was a response to a Department of Corrections’ “Request for Proposal” in regards to transitional housing for offenders. It will address a specific need for a potential homeless population that otherwise would just be a drain on the entire system. If those that are critical of the project have their way and stop it from moving forward, nothing positive would be gained. Funding would not be diverted to some yet-to-be-developed project that some feel would be more deserved. There would just be no progress made at all. Michael Ohler

I was initially offended by the claim [“Food Shelf Hiring African-Languages Translator,” March 15] attributed to Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf Executive Director Wanda Hines that some immigrants “seem to come in with a ‘sense of entitlement’ about how much food they should be allowed to take home,” and that “some African and Bosnian families have a tendency to hoard large amounts of food on each visit.” Ironically, the day after this report, while reading one-time African resident Paul Theroux’s excellent, brutally honest “travelogue” Dark Star Safari: Overland from Cairo to Cape Town, I was surprised to read that “Africans . . . begged, they pleaded, they demanded money and gifts with a weird sense of entitlement.” In the context of having just read, and also heard on TV news, virtually the same phrase from the reports on the Emergency Shelf, it gave me pause. He also writes about “the natural order of Africa, frolicking children, laboring women, idle men.” Theroux follows this, several chapters later, with “Name an African problem and an agency or a charity existed to deal with it. But that did not mean that a solution was produced. Charities and aid programs seemed to turn African problems into permanent conditions that were bigger and messier.” I don’t pretend to have answers as to why this may be true, if it is, yet it surely must give us pause to consider the delicate relationship between the urge we have to solve painful human issues and the need to allow participants of aid programs to maintain their dignity, and how to continue the work without producing this “weird sense of entitlement.” J.

Melting Points Noting the local impact of Elizabeth Kolbert’s long-term forecast

C STORY

KEVIN J. KELLEY “Meet the Press: Elizabeth Kolbert, New Yorker Magazine,” McCardell Bicentennial Hall, Room 220, Middlebury College, April 3, 4:30 p.m. Field Notes From a Catatastrophe: Man, Nature and Climate Change by Elizabeth Kolbert. Bloomsbury, 210 pages. $22.95.

an Burlington save humanity from the catastrophic effects of global warming? It can’t by itself, of course. But if other cities in the United States alone were to implement the initiatives Burlington has taken over the past 15 years, the next generation or two just might be spared the unmanageable impacts of higher temperatures and rising sea levels. At least that’s the suggestion put forth by Elizabeth Kolbert, a staff writer for The New Yorker and author of the newly published Field Notes from a Catastrophe: Man, Nature and Climate Change. “I don’t know of any place that’s done more than Burlington to combat global warming,” Kolbert said last week in a telephone interview from an Oregon stop on her national book tour — she’ll speak at Middlebury College next Monday. The Queen City’s efforts are the subject of an entire chapter in Kolbert’s concise dispatch from a few of the frontlines where the fate of the Earth is being decided — and, perhaps, already being felt. Kolbert spent a day last June driving around Burlington in Peter Clavelle’s Honda Civic hybrid. The mayor, described in the book as having “mournful blue eyes,” was pointing out some of the energy-efficiency sites that may help the city meet its “10-percent challenge” of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by that proportion in the coming years. Kolbert and Clavelle visited ReCycle North, the Burlington Electric Department’s generating plant and the farms and composting project in the Intervale. “Burlington has tried just about everything“ to conserve energy locally and thereby reduce its tiny share of the carbon dioxide emissions that are warming the planet, Kolbert observes in Field Notes. For example, the city provides free energy consultations to businesses, leases fluorescent light bulbs for 20 cents a month, and distributes “energy-efficiency calendars” to school children. In one of the city’s most consequential actions, its publicly owned utility now makes use of renewable resources for nearly half the power it produces, Kolbert points out. Burlington’s efforts have been successful. In the 17 years since Clavelle was first elected mayor, electricity consumption has climbed by 15 percent in Vermont but dropped by 1 percent in Burlington, Kolbert reports. But such gains are getting harder and harder to achieve and sustain, she adds. Electricity consumption has started to increase in Burlington, and whatever savings the city has made in greenhouse gas emissions from energy generation have been offset by increased pollution from other sources, mostly cars and trucks. Simply for reasons of scale, even if Burlington fully meets the goal of its “10-percent challenge,” the global

impact will be puny, Kolbert concedes. The new coal plants expected to come on line in China in the next few years “would burn through all of Burlington’s savings — past, present and future — in less than two-and-ahalf hours,” she writes. Fatalism and resignation are not useful options, however. “It’s more helpful to be hopeful,” she said in the interview, “and say in the case of Burlington, ‘Well, you’ve got to start somewhere.’” Clavelle himself takes a similar view. “What this community is doing will obviously not make that much difference,” the mayor acknowledges. “But we do need to demonstrate that you can make a difference at the local level, and you can replicate that experience in community after community around the country and throughout the industrial world.”

ELIZABETH KOLBERT

The evidence of already-occurring climate change that Kolbert marshals in her book seems sufficiently compelling to convince communities to take the actions that Burlington is modeling — and to take them now. Nearly every major glacier in the world is receding; many animals are

The real question is not whether we can avoid climate change — we can’t — but whether we can avoid catastrophic climate change. ELIZABETH KOLBERT

migrating poleward; the difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures is diminishing; plants are blooming days or weeks earlier than they used to. In Vermont, the frequency of poor skiing, sugaring and foliage seasons in recent years “may be part of the same trendline,” Kolbert suggested in the interview. The Arctic’s perennial ice cover is also melting, she notes in her book, citing satellite imagery gathered since 1979. Of the 1.7 billion Arctic acres then encased in ice, 250 million are now open in the summer months — an area equivalent in size to New York, Texas and Georgia combined. Ice loss has begun to have disastrous consequences for some far-northern settlements. In one of her visits to a global-warming hot spot, Kolbert explains that recently opened seas have made the island town of Shishmaref, Alaska (pop: 591), more vulnerable to storm surges. After giant waves wrecked some of their homes, Shishmaref’s inhabitants voted

in 2002 to move their community to the Alaskan mainland. The prospect of being uprooted from her ancestral home “makes me feel lonely,” one local woman told Kolbert. As a journalist trained to strike balances, Kolbert allots space the argument that the warming of the Earth observable for at least the past 15 years may be due in some measure to a natural shift in climate cycles. “Global warming is routinely described,” she adds, “as a matter of scientific debate — a theory whose validity has yet to be demonstrated.” But Kolbert’s efforts to maintain objectivity do not disguise her own rejection of these claims, and she cites reputable sources in support of her view. The American Geophysical Union declared in 2003, for example, “Natural influences cannot explain the rapid increase in global surface temperatures.” Kolbert also attended an international scientific symposium in Iceland in 2004 at which participants

voiced certainty that increased carbon dioxide levels in the Earth’s atmosphere are contributing significantly to the rise in global temperatures. “The real question,” Kolbert said, “is not whether we can avoid climate change — we can’t — but whether we can avoid catastrophic climate change.” Doomsday scenarios in this realm come couched in the acronym DAI — “dangerous anthropogenic interference.” It refers to a tipping point at which human impact on global climate becomes so severe that ecosystems begin to collapse, species extinction accelerates, and the world food supply is disrupted. Calamitous flooding would be another byproduct of DAI. And that is what will occur, Kolbert writes, if either the West Antarctic ice sheet or the Greenland ice sheet were to be destroyed. Sea levels worldwide would rise by 15 feet if one of those massive ice formations melts — and by 35 feet if they both vanish.

Drastic climate change has destroyed advanced civilizations in the past, Kolbert points out, implying that it could surely do so again. The world’s first empire, administered from the city of Akkad, south of today’s Baghdad, disintegrated around 2200 BCE as a result of prolonged drought. The same fate befell Classic Mayan civilization, which succumbed to thirst and parched fields beginning around 750 AD. The acronym that will hasten the arrival of DAI is BAU — “business as usual.” If world leaders take no action beyond the Kyoto emissions-reduction treaty that took effect last year, it is likely that carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere will continue to rise toward DAI levels, Kolbert suggests. Carbon dioxide parts per million (ppm) stood at about 280 in the pre-industrial era, and now measure 378 ppm. Some scientists theorize that levels between 400 and 450 ppm will be sufficient to trigger DAI, Kolbert reports. And a midrange projection of BAU puts carbon dioxide concentrations at 500 ppm by 2050 and at 750 ppm by 2100. The United States, which accounts for one-quarter of the world’s carbon dioxide output, stands as the foremost bastion of BAU. The Bush administration has refused to endorse the Kyoto treaty and is opposing efforts to strengthen its provisions. “Astonishingly,” Kolbert writes, her objectivity dissolving, “standing in the way of this progress seems to be Bush’s goal.” Along with its scientific erudition — always rendered in a readable manner — Field Notes makes a convincing case because it avoids apocalyptic rhetoric and takes account of promising possibilities. But the book’s tone does become elegiac at times. While attending the Iceland symposium on global warming, Kolbert took a break to visit a nearby glacier that is shrinking every year. It was raining when she arrived at the viewpoint from which the grit-covered, forlorn-looking glacier could be glimpsed far in the distance. “A raw wind came up and I started to head down,” she recounts. But then she recalled a scientist’s prediction that in another decade the glacier probably would not be visible at all from where she was standing. “So,” Kolbert writes, “I climbed back up to take a second look.” m

The novel’s framing and dominant narrative, set in present day, allows the author to draw parallels between AIDS and smallpox; between Balmis and modern do-gooders whose motives may be mixed. Confronting a world where “Every good [is] threaded through with, at best, dubious goods,” Alvarez asks us, “What does it mean not to lose faith with what is grand?” Readers familiar with Alvarez will see obvious autobiographical elements in the heroine, Alma Huebner, a successful 50year-old novelist who was raised in the Dominican Republic and now lives in Vermont. As the novel opens, Alma is embroiled in a “crisis of the soul, a dark night that doesn’t have a chemical solution.” The manuscript of her long-awaited “family saga” novel is overdue. But Alma finds she’s more interested in writing the story of Balmis and the woman who accompanied him. Alma’s beloved husband Richard bears some similarities to Balmis: He works on well-meaning projects in the developing world for a company called Help International. When Richard heads to the Dominican Republic to

manage a green center cum AIDS clinic in a rural area, Alma chooses not to follow him but instead to devote the time of his absence to “follow[ing] the vague, shadowy woman she has been avoiding� — namely, herself. Neither mission goes as expected. Alma finds herself “listening to the songs of the losers�: tending a neighbor with cancer and grappling with the woman’s bitter, war-veteran son and his disturbed wife, who “claims she’s part of some weird ethical terrorist group trying to save the world.�

century narrative. This controlfreak humanitarian treats vaccination as if it were a competition, fuming when someone manages to inoculate the colony of Puerto Rico before he does. None of the modern would-be world saviors has this sort of depth. Richard remains a shadowy figure; we know him primarily as Alma’s support system. Richard’s boss at Help International is morally ambiguous; it’s suggested that he may be overly complicit with corporate interests. But, again, we see him only through Alma, who muses, “The man is either a

about it.� That’s the writer’s job. But, while Saving the World introduces us to many characters who are on the edge, it develops few of them. Tantalizing similarities exist between the Dominican “terrorists� and the shell-shocked Vermonters, but the characters are so sketchy that these parallels never get developed beyond common verbiage. (Both groups like to use “infection� as a metaphor.) Reservations aside, Alvarez’s prose sometimes rises to poetic heights. And the quandaries she explores aren’t going away anytime soon. The reader will be

Ultimately, Saving the World is most powerful as a meditation on the role of the storyteller. Meanwhile, in a Constant Gardener-type scenario, Richard’s AIDS clinic is compromised by its connection with an American Big Pharma company that’s doing drug trials on the patients, and some of the younger, militant locals take offense to what they see as exploitation of the poor and powerless. Things have changed since the days of Balmis, when the vaccine-carrying orphans were willing to plunge into the unknown in the hope — not always fulfilled, as it turned out — of better fortunes in the New World. When you pair Alma’s story with that of Balmis, Isabel and the orphans, in alternating chapters, it’s a lot for any novelist to take on. Alvarez succeeds in coaxing both plots along to a suspenseful, sometimes agonizing climax. Yet she doesn’t quite make all the elements gel. Some of the parallels Alvarez draws between her two narratives are obvious, even simplistic. For instance, Isabel is clearly Alma in petticoats, struggling with the same mood swings between girlish idealism and depression. Isabel finds purpose when she becomes an advocate for the rights of her orphan charges, while Alma finds that same purpose in imagining the forgotten woman’s story. Other, potentially more interesting parallels are missing. Balmis is by far the most intriguing character in the 19th-

saint or a master of spin.� If there’s one thing the story of Balmis teaches us, it’s that a saint and a master of spin can be one and the same. Ultimately, Saving the World is most powerful as a meditation on the role of the storyteller.

Did she really stay to hear the baffling, painful spirit of the universe inside her? “It’s just that I lied to him, Helen. I told him I was staying to finish my novel.� Helen smiles, bemused again. “He’ll understand,� she says. “Goodness gracious, saving the world isn’t for everybody.

THE

HATE DEBATE Why is “Mr. Happy” so angry, and what should we do about it? story: ken picard images: matthew thorsen

It’s 11.p.m. on Monday — time for the new episode of “How Do You Like Me Now?” on cable channel 15, also known as Vermont Community Access Media (VCAM). After the requisite warning about adult content and graphic imagery, a written message appears: “Dedicated to all the Feminazi pigs who run Burlington.” The show begins with a videotape of a large hog lying on the floor of a warehouse. Moments later, a man enters the room with a chainsaw and slowly cuts the pig’s head off. The animal squeals and writhes in agony. When the grisly task is complete, the man approaches the camera, blood-splattered chainsaw still in hand, and flashes a menacing, self-satisfied grin. The picture fades to black. What follows is an assortment of cartoons, most of which appear to have been lifted from the Internet. There’s a Santa Claus urinating on a Chanukah menorah — “Santa hates Jewish kids,” it reads — and another displaying the Koran being used as toilet paper. Still another shows the infamous, hooded Abu Ghraib prisoner, only this time he’s covered with holiday ornaments. The caption reads, “It’s not torture, it’s Christmas!” Next, a short video celebrates the assassination of John Lennon. The credits say, “Thank you, Mark David Chapman.” Welcome to the cheery world of “Mr. Happy,” a.k.a. John Long. Since October

proper role of the press? Does reporting on hate speech give its purveyors a legitimacy they don’t deserve? For Seven Days, these questions aren’t just abstract. During the January 22 episode of “How Do You Like Me Now?” Long made threatening remarks about Seven Days Associate Editor Ruth Horowitz. During the program, he read from the December 7, 2005, issue of the paper, which included a holiday “wish list” written by staffers. In it, Horowitz asked for a professional massage. “She wants a massage? All right. Mr. Happy wants to offer her the Mr. Happy smash massage,” Long told viewers, holding a hammer up to the camera. “She can bring her head over here and I’ll massage it into a new shape. We can meet up at her home or wherever.” Long dismisses his remarks as harmless. “That was done as parody,” he explains. “That may have been a little strong, but it got people’s attention.” That it did, including in the Burlington Police Department.

I have an inexhaustible supply of anger that’s constantly refilled by what I see in Burlington every day. JOHN LONG

JOHN LONG A.K.A. “MR. HAPPY”

1995, Long, a 44-year-old Burlington homeless man, has been treating Adelphia cable subscribers to his homespun blend of racist and anti-Semitic rhetoric, pro-war tirades, gay-bashing diatribes and verbal assaults on the Left. Occasionally, he tosses in some hardcore pornography or a video of rabbits being decapitated and skinned. Each show airs three times each week in the 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. timeslot. “Some people might not consider it art,” Long says about his hour-long program. “But it’s a form of art, however vile they consider it.” The jury may be out on whether Mr. Happy’s work constitutes “art,” but what’s clear is that it is protected speech. The courts have ruled that the First Amendment allows community-access producers to broadcast graphic and obscene material, use hate speech and, yes, even advocate violence in a general sense. But when does free speech cross the line into something else? And, how should a community that celebrates racial, ethnic, religious and sexual diversity respond to someone like Long? Should it respond at all? What is the

Responding to a caller’s complaint, police visited the VCAM studios in early February and watched the tape of Long’s broadcast. Upon review, the officer determined that Long hadn’t broken any laws. VCAM, with 30,000 potential viewers in the Burlington area, is one of the few media outlets in Vermont that airs such extreme and inflammatory content. Like most community-access stations nationwide, VCAM’s mission is to be as inclusive as the law allows and “provide all citizens with content-neutral access to the electronic media, on a firstcome-first-served basis, and thereby ensure the continuation of unfettered free speech.” Its policies ensure that “no censorship over program content exists” except to comply with FCC rules. But some contend that Long pushes the envelope of “unfettered

free speech” too far. In March 2005, he generated controversy by airing a videotape of terrorist beheadings from Iraq. Long argued that it shows Vermonters “the enemy we’re up against.” But four viewers complained to VCAM’s board of directors and presented them with a petition, signed by 250 people, asking the board to adopt a more stringent policy on graphically violent material. VCAM Executive Director Rob Chapman immediately bumped future airings of the disputed show into the 2-to-5 a.m. timeslot, but the board of directors later rescinded that directive. As Chapman puts it, “The board believes in as few limitations as possible. Between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., almost anything goes.” Nevertheless, such violent messages trouble some Burlington activists, who warn that when hate speech is allowed to go unchecked, it festers and grows. Slurs escalate to harassment, and then to threats, and then, sometimes, to violence. On one episode of “How Do You Like Me Now?” Long displayed a photo of a handgun and said, “This is how to hate gays.” Peggy Luhrs, an activist with the R.U.1.2? Queer Community Center in Burlington, contends that such remarks fall outside the bounds of free speech. “I think he’s crossed a line,” says Luhrs. “When you get on TV and say, ‘Here’s how to hate gays,’ and you show a gun, you’re advocating murder. Even if [Long] wouldn’t do it, who knows what confused teenager out there would?” Long’s threatening rhetoric isn’t confined to the television studio. He is a frequent counter-demonstrator at Vermont peace rallies, where he waves an American flag and shouts angrily at demonstrators. In 2003, Long burned a rainbow Pride flag during a Transgender Day of Remembrance. One February several years ago, he reportedly showed up at a Black History Month event with a sign that read, “More blacks, more crime.” Another time, he disrupted a University of Vermont forum on gay marriage and had to be removed by campus police. For years, Long targeted Luhrs both on and off the air. He’s shouted her down at public meetings, yelled at her on the street and, in 1998, Luhrs contends, he left a racist drawing tacked to her front porch. “I felt creeped out finding such

a nasty piece of work, and having him know where I live,” she says. “But the police didn’t want to do anything about it.”

Long is well known to Burlington cops, mental-health outreach workers and homelessshelter staffs. In September 2004, he was arrested at the Salvation Army for disorderly conduct and unlawful trespass. According to court records, he got into a scuffle, during which he called a man “a faggot” and threatened to “break his neck” and “fuck him up outside.” The police affidavit noted that his intended victim “is, in fact, a homosexual.” Long has targeted other gays and lesbians in town, too. SafeSpace, the Burlington-based anti-violence group that works with the queer community and tracks local hate-speech incidents, calls him “the most active person on our radar screen.” However, the Civil Rights Unit in the Vermont Attorney General’s Office, which investigates suspected hate crimes, reports that it’s never received a complaint about him. Several years ago, unsigned fliers began appearing around Burlington that accused Seven Days columnist Peter Kurth of being a pedophile. For about two years, Kurth was receiving regular emails from Long making the same accusation. “For a while, I was answering him because I thought it was funny,” Kurth recalls. “But then I

realized it was just egging him on. So I stopped replying, and that really pissed him off.” Long’s messages grew increasingly vulgar and hostile, and were often signed with the words, “DEATH TO QUEERS! DEATH TO THE LEFT!” One email, dated March 11, 2004, included the following: “I hope I C-ya at the fag parade this June, then lets see you run your mouth about heads getting broken, you can tell it to me to my face, then we’ll see who gets ‘broken.’ . . . Gimme half a reason and you might wind up in ICU yourself, along with any other faggot who wants to step up. Ignore that, you stupid queer!” Kurth consulted an attorney, who advised him that the fliers and emails were grounds for legal action. In addition to defamation of character, Vermont law also makes it a crime to use a telephone or other electronic communications to “terrify, threaten, harass or annoy” and/or “threaten to inflict injury or physical harm to the person or property.” Kurth opted not to pursue the matter. “I decided I didn’t want to give him more attention than he already

gets,” he explains. But he admits there were times when he felt personally threatened. “If anyone is going to go off his rocker, it’s someone like him,” Kurth adds. “I think this is a dangerous guy.” After Long’s recent remarks about Horowitz, the Seven Days editorial staff debated how to report the incident. The first option was to ignore it entirely and not give Long more publicity. But according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a national nonprofit group that tracks hate groups, such an approach contradicts the first rule of dealing with hate speech: “Do something,” it advises in its community-response guide. “In the face of hate, silence is deadly. Apathy will be interpreted as acceptance — by the perpetrators, the public and, worse, the victims.” Our second option was to write about hate speech in Vermont without specifically focusing on one perpetrator. Kara DeLeonardis is SafeSpace’s executive director. When asked how the community should respond to hate speech generally, she admits there aren’t easy answers. “It really depends,” she >> 30A

says. “Perpetrators of hate speech and hate crimes are not all the same. Every situation is different.” Vermont’s hate-crime law doesn’t punish hate speech, DeLeonardis notes. It only enhances the penalties for crimes that have already been committed. And, unless there’s a specific, credible and documented threat, often there’s not a lot the police can do. By all estimates, Vermont’s hate-crime law is underused. According to the Vermont Crime Information Center, only 62 hatecrime reports were filed statewide in 2003 and 56 in 2004. Of them, only 17 in 2003 and 14 in 2004 were listed as “anti-homosexual.” Until this year, Vermont didn’t even track how many hate crimes were eventually charged in court and/or prosecuted. “Unfortunately,” DeLeonardis adds, “it often seems like something really, really terrible has to happen before justice is done.” There had to be another option. There was no point in writing about Long unless it helped readers understand who he

John Long and I met last week at the VCAM offices in Burlington’s South End. He is about 5-foot-8 and 175 pounds. His mop of wavy, brown hair poked out from under a worn, brown Philly’s cap. He was wearing a gray, hooded sweatshirt, baggy jeans and a black tank top sporting a large “X” made of duct tape. A faded American-flag patch was sewn into his worn, green knapsack. After we shook hands Long said, “I thought you’d be much bigger.” “I thought you’d be, too,” I answered. Long initially avoided looking me in the eye and stammered nervously as we made small talk while waiting for the studio to become available. But soon he relaxed, especially once he was in front of the cameras. I noticed Long is missing a lot of teeth. He claimed he lost them during some hunger strikes while he was incarcerated in the Chittenden County Correctional Center in the mid-1990s. He also claimed the hunger strikes were to

said, and he was adopted by his foster parents at 9. They abandoned him when he was 15. “My step-dad was from Baltimore,” Long recalled. “He despised blacks. My step-mom wasn’t kindly disposed to them either, but she wasn’t as virulent about it. To be fair, they hated hippies, too.” In the late 1960s, whites were a minority in Camden, according to Long. He claimed he was often “set upon by gangs of blacks,” and saw his stepbrother hit by a car after being chased home once from school. At 13, Long watched as state authorities forcibly removed his 9year-old stepsister from his stepmother’s arms. The girl had lived with them since she was an infant but was taken in a custody battle with her birth parents. Long says his stepmother was never the same — and neither was he. “It may have affected me in a subconscious way,” he said, “as far as me getting into fights with other people, or my whole attitude toward society in general.”

KEN PICARD INTERVIEWING JOHN LONG AT VCAM

is, what he represents and the threat he potentially poses. We wanted to know: Who is John Long? And why is he so angry? Finding out wasn’t easy, since Long hates Seven Days. As a transient, he’s hard to find. He doesn’t have a permanent residence or a phone number. Aside from a Burlington post-office box, the only way to contact him is through email. Initially, Long refused to be interviewed. “I know it’s just gonna wind up being a hit piece. You don’t need my help for that,” he wrote. “The cops and the homosexual mob have everything you’ll need about my background, bias and all.” After repeated messages back and forth, Long warmed to the idea and agreed to answer some written questions. Later, he accepted an invitation to meet in person, provided he could videotape the interview and use it on his show. I accepted the offer.

get access to a mental-health worker. As if to demonstrate, he rolled up his sleeves and showed me his scars. “Repeated suicide attempts,” he said. I knew of Long’s criminal record, which dates back at least to 1979, according to FBI records. He’s been arrested and/or convicted of crimes in Vermont, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Florida. Most were minor offenses — marijuana possession, trespassing, shoplifting, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief — though they also included burglary, assault, robbery and resisting arrest. When asked why he’s so mad, Long spoke openly about his past. “Well, my life hasn’t been the easiest,” he admitted. “And, I have an inexhaustible supply of anger that’s constantly refilled by what I see in Burlington every day.” Apparently, Long has been angry for a very long time. He was born in Philadelphia on September 6, 1961, and grew up in Camden, New Jersey. His biological parents abandoned him at an early age, he

In the 1970s, Long moved to Salem County, New Jersey, where, he said, “I had the usual teenage problems of alienation and not fitting in.” He was suspended six times in his freshman year for fighting, but managed to graduate. After dropping out of college, he ended up on the streets, where he’s lived for more than 25 years. In 1981 Long tried joining the Army, but was rejected for medical reasons. Since then, he’s worked in restaurants, factories, landscaping — “all the usual backbreaking, low-paying, no-security jobs that are the only option for misfits like me,” he said. In July 1992, while living in Massachusetts, Long bought a one-way bus ticket from Boston to Montréal. He was turned away at the border and put on the next bus south, which stopped in Burlington. He’s lived here off and on ever since. Long said his interest in community-access television was sparked by the 1992 L.A. riots and, later, the O.J. Simpson verdict. “When O.J. got off in

October 1995, I saw the black reaction, like they’d won some racial Super Bowl,” he says. “That was the catalyst that got this whole Mr. Happy thing going.” In 2000, Long joined the National Alliance, a West Virginia-based neo-Nazi group. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the group’s founder, William Pierce, wrote a book that Timothy McVeigh used as a “blueprint” for the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. But Long says he quit the National Alliance in 2003, shortly after the Iraq War began. “I felt that the NA was aligning itself too closely with Muslim terrorists,” he said. “I could not honestly be associated with any group that would sympathize with and express support for those who want to destroy this nation.” Today, Long claims he’s no longer affiliated with any hate groups, though for years he’s been a frequent visitor to hate-speech websites. He often posted messages on Stormfront.org, a white-supremacist site created by former Ku Klux Klan member Don Black, until Long was banned from the site. He posted this message in 2002: “I got an idea for a story, the tales of an assassin that goes around crossing out Leftist targets. One day your average pro-white guy decides he wants to make a positive change in the world, but his attempts to voice his views have been totally squashed and censored by the Jewsmedia, and his First Amendment right to free expression have virtually ended by Leftist PC ‘Hate Crime’ laws. So, with no family to worry about, no job to lose, and no other alternative, he opts for a ‘final solution’ — termination of enemies and race-traitors by various means . . . and after each ‘job’ is completed, he leaves a calling card, a note entitled . . . DEATH TO THE LEFT!” Long doesn’t deny posting that message but has “never actually gone out and done that,” he said. “It’s not like I get up on TV and say, ‘Let’s all go out and kill the queers,’ or ‘Let’s go out and kill the blacks,’ or nothing like that.” In fact, Long doesn’t see any connection between hate speech and violence. However, he does say that “violence is sometimes a necessary, if unfortunate, measure to effect change.” So, is he advocating violence when he holds up a gun and suggests that’s the way to deal with gays? “It’s a challenge,” he answered. “They can take it however they want. “I say the Left should be confronted in the courts,” he continued. “I say they should be confronted in the media, and if they’re up for it, I say they should be confronted in the streets.” Will those confrontations be violent? Not necessarily, he said. Long claims he can engage in a civil discussion without it devolving into a fistfight. But he contends that whenever he’s asked the Left for a dialogue, he’s either been ignored or threatened by the authorities. Apparently, the biggest threats he sees are efforts to silence him. Long also described his show as a form of therapy. “It’s a cathar-

sis,” he said. “I’m very glad and appreciative that VCAM gives me the opportunity to express myself, because I don’t have any other outlet to do it. “As long as I am allowed to present my views . . . in a way I see fit, nobody has to worry about violence taking place,” he added. “But if they shut me out, if laws come down the road and are enacted to where people like me don’t have a chance to speak, then what other option do I have?” Though Long seems to get a thrill out of antagonizing his adversaries, he remained calm and polite throughout our 45-minute interview and never raised his voice once. He answered all my questions thoroughly and refrained from straying too far from the subject or steering the conversation. As several people who know Long remarked during my research, there appear to be two sides to John Long. In this encounter, at least, I never saw the angry side. When the interview was over, we shook hands and he said, “I thought that went really well.” I agreed. Several days later, Long stopped by the Seven Days office and dropped off a copy of the videotape.

If Long doesn’t connect the dots between hate speech and hate crimes, local civil-rights activists do. “First of all, we do consider this a form of violence,” says Hannah Hauser, program coordinator at SafeSpace, about Long’s actions. “By him putting this stuff forth, that’s a trigger for the entire community, to being screamed at, to having the Pride flag burned, to saying, ‘Death to queers, and you’re next!’” In the future, Long may also need to tread lightly when it comes to threats against specific individuals on his show. Sandi Everitt, director of the Civil Rights Unit, says that Vermont’s statute regarding electronic harassment could be construed as covering broadcast media as well. “The statute is not well-known,” she says, “but it’s the way we’ve been successful at getting some of those folks who think they’re covered by free speech but are really going out and harassing individuals.” Most of the people who routinely deal with Burlington’s homeless population and know Long declined to be interviewed for this story. They said they didn’t want to compromise their relationship with him or violate his privacy. Interestingly, one person who sees Long regularly but has never had a problem with him is Wanda Hines, executive director of the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf. Hines, an African-American, says that although she’s heard his racist talk before, she and Long have “agreed to disagree.” It’s easy to assume that racism and other forms of bigotry aren’t problems in progressive-minded Vermont. Hines says that Long, in his own perverse way, performs a public service — he exposes attitudes that many Vermonters harbor, but don’t express. “John reminds us about how far we have to go,” says Hines. “We’re not out of the woods yet.” m

UNCIVIL

LIBERTIES A Vermont gay activist blog fights dirty story & image: cathy resmer Before the Vermont Legislature passed the civil-unions law in the spring of 2000, hundreds of Vermonters testified at the Statehouse for and against the bill. It was a display of democracy at its finest. The debate outside the chamber, however, often turned nasty. Much of that ugliness came from conservative activists, who accused gay Vermonters of advocating a wide variety of evils. At one point, a radical “pro-family” group called Who Would Have Thought, Inc., took out a full-page ad in Vermont newspapers suggesting that civil unions would lead to the legalization of pedophilia. Six years later, that passion has faded. Civil unions are much less controversial, and most of the organizations that opposed them have disbanded. One group that remains is Who Would Have Thought, Inc., which morphed into the nonprofit Center for American Cultural Renewal, and is now spinning off an activist arm called Vermont Renewal. The organizations are quietly fighting against what founder Steven Cable calls the “valueless, culturally toxic agenda” of the “homosexual lobby.” CFACR/Vermont Renewal sends email updates to a list of 4000 recipients. The groups organize in opposition to things like pornography, gay marriage and adding protections for gender identity and expression to Vermont’s anti-discrimination laws. Given the current political climate, the organization can afford just one paid staff person, conservative political operative Kevin Blier. Blier writes angry letters to the editor and op-eds in Vermont newspapers. He shows up at the Statehouse from time to time to lobby. Meanwhile, the organizations he opposes do the same, seemingly unaffected by much of his work. The gender-identity bill Blier identified as a top priority in this legislative session passed easily through the Vermont House. But if most of Blier’s opponents ignore him, one anonymous activist, or activist group, is taking a more personal — some might say bullying — approach. A blog called “Blier Watch” — at http://blierwatch.blogspot.com — is dedicated to monitoring Blier. But it doesn’t just keep track of his political activities. The bloggers have posted Blier’s home address, and a picture of his young son. In a state that prizes its tradition of civil political discourse, these tactics go against the grain. Blier, 34, is a Brandon resident who moved to Vermont in 2004 to become the director of the Center for American Cultural Renewal. Today he describes himself as the director of policy analysis and research at Vermont Renewal. According to the “Blier Watch”

profile, its mission is to examine “the spin, the character and the associations of Vermont’s most recent anti-civil unions/anti-gay activist, self-made public figure and registered lobbyist for Vermont Renewal & Center for American Cultural Renewal, Kevin W. Blier.” Its posts suggest links between Blier, CFACR and other social conservatives, as well as far-right activists such as Fred Phelps. And it makes jokes at Blier’s expense. Quips the site’s author: “We poke fun at Kevin so you don’t have to.” Not surprisingly, Blier objects to the blog. He says it oversimplifies his positions and threatens him and his family. Blier suggests the blog is linked to a bill introduced this year by Rep. Mark Larsen (D-Burlington) that would legalize gay marriage in Vermont. “I think they’re looking to intimidate the opposition. I find that interesting with the introduction of the gay marriage bill, where the sponsor and [attorney] Beth Robinson both said that they wanted to ‘start a conversation,’” he says. “What sort of conversation did you want to start?”

Internet activism of this kind isn’t new, especially among queer bloggers. Over the past few years, sites have sprung up all over the country dedicated to connecting the dots between conservative organizations, and digging up dirt. Liberal bloggers such as gay Washington attorney John Aravosis have exposed hypocritical conservatives by outing their aides and occasionally outing them. Aravosis was also responsible for exposing the secret homosexual life of James Guckert, a.k.a. Jeff Gannon, a writer for a conservative news service who had attended White House press conferences. Others, like Wayne Besen — a former spokesman for the queer activist group Human Rights Campaign who blogs at http://www. waynebesen.com — keep an eye on conservatives and the ex-gay movement.

for photographing John Paulk, ex-gay poster boy, in a Washington, D.C., gay bar. Besen’s posts often shine a spotlight at social conservatives on the radical fringe. But Blier Watch differs from these more prominent examples in important ways. For one thing, the blogger is anonymous. He or she declined an email request to be interviewed for this story. The blogger denies being a conservative in disguise, though it’s impossible to know for sure. More importantly, the site is directed specifically at Blier. An unflattering photo of him — a screenshot from C-Span of his appearance at last year’s Conservative Political Action Conference — sits just below the site’s header. The Blier Watch blogger knows how to game Google’s algorithms: A search for Kevin Blier yields 120,000 results. Though it’s only been around since December 2005, Blier Watch is number one and two. The blogger pulled off a similar trick with Blier’s home address. His phone number and address are unlisted, but he appeared at a selectboard meeting last November to inquire how to circulate a petition for the March ballot and, like all participants, he was required to

from Brandon to Rutland. His nemesis found the deleted information in the Google cache — the site often saves deleted information, at least for a short time — and published the photo and the deleted info in a March 14 Blier Watch post. This infuriates Blier, who accuses the blog of turning his son into a political pawn. “With my son’s picture out there, his identity is revealed,” he says. “Now if someone wants to get to me, maybe they want to threaten the kidnapping of my son.” Blier is so worried about safety that he’s unwilling to reveal the actual location of his office. The Center for American Cultural Renewal website — http://www. cfacr.org — lists only a post-office box, and Blier would like to keep it that way. “There are safety concerns for us in this office,” he says. “I try to be as discreet as possible without seeming secretive.” He notes that during the civil union controversy, the organizers at Who Would Have Thought, Inc., received death threats. In fact, activists on both sides of the debate were threatened, and it’s worth noting that all of the state’s major queer-advocacy organizations list their physical addresses on their

KEVIN BLIER state his home address. The information was included in the Brandon Selectboard meeting minutes, posted to the town website. The Blier Watch blogger found the citation, linked to it, and directed enough traffic to it for it to appear as the seventh Google search result. Blier Watch also parodied a letter Blier sent to local newspapers. In a post entitled, “Shorter Kevin Blier,” the anonymous scribe writes, “Dear Bill,” a reference to House Judiciary Chair Bill Lippert (D-Hinesburg), “My God hates fags. Man’s law must comport with my God’s will and uphold anyone who also hates fags. And you, being a fag, have got to go.” The fake letter is signed “Kevin,” and the signature is a link to Blier’s email address. Blier argues that although he advocates against legitimizing gay unions, he would never use the F-word. He has a family member who is gay, with whom he claims to be very close. “It was an inaccurate representation of anything I have thought or said publicly or privately,” he says. The blog also lists CFACR’s site alongside links to the Neo-Nazi Stormfront site, and the site for Fred Phelps’ Westboro Baptist Church. Blier calls Phelps “a despicable idiot.” But the thing that ticks Blier off most is that Blier Watch published a photo of one of his sons, which Blier himself had posted to a Rutland meetup site a year earlier. After learning of the attack blog, Blier tried to delete the photo, and changed his residence on the site

websites. But Blier says CFACR is different, because it’s the only group of its kind in the state. He claims it doesn’t enjoy adequate protection from the Vermont Attorney General’s Office. As evidence, he cites an angry phone call he received about CFACR’s position on the Lisa Miller case. Miller and her partner Janet Jenkins got a civil union in Vermont in 2000 and later moved to the state. Miller bore the couple’s daughter, Isabella. The couple later split up when Miller declared herself a “former lesbian” and returned to Virginia. Jenkins is suing for custody of the girl. The case is currently before the Vermont Supreme Court. Not surprisingly, CFACR is supporting Miller. Steve Cable sent out a sixpage fundraising letter focusing on the case in 2004. Blier says that in January 2005 he received a phone call from someone who said, “The sooner we wipe your kind out of the state of Vermont, the better.” He reported it to the Attorney General’s Office and the state’s Human Rights Commission. A January 28 letter to Blier from Civil Rights Investigator Jean Lowell explains that the A.G. declined to investigate because the caller’s reported remark did not indicate “the caller was threatening to cause harm to your person or property.” Lowell continues: “In addition to the remark quoted above, the caller referred to you as a ‘homophobic moron.’ It is understand-

able that you would be offended by such remarks. However, neither the frequency of the call, which I understand to be limited to this one-time occurrence, nor the content of the call rises to the level of unlawful harassment.” Blier claims the A.G.’s refusal to investigate justifies his caution. “I mean, if I know I don’t have the A.G.’s protection in this state, I have to be careful,” he says. He suggests that the Blier Watch blog might qualify as unlawful harassment. But that seems unlikely — U.S. courts have been reluctant to force Internet Service Providers to unmask anonymous web users. And in the famous Nuremberg Files case of 2001, the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that an anti-abortion website that published the names, addresses and photos of abortion providers, and crossed them off if they were gunned down, was protected by the First Amendment. But even if the site is legal, does that make it right? Leftist 2x5-acupuncture032906.indd blogger John Odum of the blog Green Mountain Daily — http://www.greenmountain daily.com — calls Blier Watch “pretty harsh.” Odum, a straight man who worked to defeat an anti-gay proposal in Oregon in the early 1990s, sympathizes with Blier Watch. “A lot of folks feel like these challenges need to be addressed immediately and definitively before they can be allowed to take root,” he says. But, he adds, “I do think the issue of family does cross a line. Obviously they would argue that Kevin Blier is threatening their families, but not in such a personal, direct way.” Robyn McGuire, the field director for the Vermont Freedom to Marry Task Force, said a call from a reporter was the first she’d heard of the blog. And VFTMTF attorney Beth Robinson says her organization has nothing to do with the site. She says her organization is engaged in meaningful dialogue about the issue with Vermonters across the state. “Our claim to fairness and equality doesn’t depend on attacking anybody else,” she says. “I don’t want to sound callous about his concerns,” she continues, “it’s just not our blog.” Blier doesn’t believe them. “There’s a banner up there” at Blier Watch, he notes, “that says, ‘Stop the hate,’ as if this blog’s done in love. It’s a hateful, spiteful website, and yet they turn around and call us haters. I’d find that almost funny if it wasn’t my picture plastered on their website.” Though Blier writes op-eds, does grassroots organizing, and recently ran unsuccessfully for the Brandon school board, he argues that he doesn’t deserve this level of scrutiny. He wishes Blier Watch would leave him alone, or change its name to Vermont Renewal Watch. “If they want to pinpoint me as the high-profile public figure making these arguments,” he suggests, “I say, start pointing to Steve. He’s the president.” m

BY CASEY REA

OUT OF THE BLUE Barre-based non-pop composer and affable eccentric David Gunn is at it again. And by “it,” I mean high-concept musical scores and stream-of-consciousness email announcements. I recently received a transmission from Gunn about his latest work, “Cyan Aura,” which will be performed as part of the Vermont Contemporary Music Ensemble’s ENCORE concert series. You can hear it twice this weekend: on Friday, March 31, at the Unitarian Church in Montpelier, and Saturday, April 1, at the McCarthy Arts Center at St. Michael’s College. And what, pray tell, is a “Cyan Aura?” According to Gunn, it’s “that intangible quality of blue-green that says ‘so long’ in a silk kimono.” Hmm, is Memoirs of a Geisha already out on DVD? Gunn elucidates further: “If you expected a component of the piece to be ‘the blues,’ you’d be right,” he says. “But it’s a shade of blues that Crayola never imagined, one who’s tonal center is as bent as a Mobius strip caught in the mother of all mousetraps.” Gunn, who elevates quirkiness to an art form, wrote the piece for clarinet, violin and piano. In addition to his latest opus, the concerts will feature new-ish compositions by Sara Doncaster, Thomas L. Read, Alex Abele and Belinda Reynolds. VCME Director Steven Klimowski commissioned each of these works as musical responses to the September 11, 2001, attacks. If you miss the shows, you can hear them on an upcoming CD, Response to 9/11. Both events feature a pre-concert talk at 7:15 p.m.; the music kicks off at 8. For more info, call STARLINE RHYTHM BOYS 849-6900 or email Klimowski at clarcell@vcme.org.

WATCHING THE DETECTIVES The other day, I was flipping through The New York Times business section (no, I don’t have any stock tips) when I found some music news with an interesting local angle. It seems that due to copyright infringement, the Notorious B.I.G.’s seminal hip-hop recording Ready to Die has been yanked from record-store shelves. That’s according to a March 17 ruling by a U.S. district court judge in Nashville, Tennessee. Bad Boy Records, the deceased rapper’s label, will likely appeal the decision. Apparently, B.I.G. (a.k.a. Biggie Smalls) incorporated a portion of Ohio Players’ 1972 funk-fest “Singing in the Morning” into his 1994 rap classic. As with a mobster evading taxes, the move was bound to catch up with him, even in the grave. Here’s where things get more interesting: Burlington’s Jane Peterer Music Corporation administers the rights to the Players’ cut, and was instrumental (no pun intended) in the court decision.

Witnesses at the trial included the company’s in-house sample clearance specialist Clement Yonkers, as well as UVM jazz professor Alex Stewart, who helped define the musical parameters of the dispute. It isn’t the first time JPMC has gone toe-to-toe with pilfering hiphoppers. The company controls the rights to some of the most popular funk recordings of all time, including music by George Clinton and Parliament/Funkadelic. “This is just one among many,” Peterer told me. “We’ve had close to 500 lawsuits filed since 2001. We’ve settled with a great many entities, but obviously this was not one of them.” This particular proceeding began back in 1998. Say, wasn’t Biggie still alive back then? “No, no,” Peterer says. “He died in 1997.” That’s why I’m not an expert. Halting the sale of this record probably won’t make Peterer any new friends in the rap community. Its removal from the marketplace is akin to telling rock fans Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon has gone bye-bye. So will Ready to Die be re-released once certain financial terms are met? “Possibly, yes,” Peterer says. “But I can’t speak about that at this time.” When asked her opinion about hip-hop in general, Peterer is charmingly circumspect: “I think it certainly has a place in the industry,” she says. “I feel any music that has quality and tells you something is good music.” Word.

Feeling a little cooped up lately? Well, a handful of musical groups are offering a temporary antidote to your restlessness. On Friday, March 31, and Saturday, April 1, the Vergennes Opera House hosts two events that might just cure your endof-winter doldrums. The First Annual Cabin Fever Music Festival features Western-style mandolin man Skip Gorman, nimble-fingered barnstormers Snake Mountain Bluegrass, Celtic folkies Bellatrix, genre-hopping roots dudes The Hibernators and everyone’s favorite honky-tonkers The Starline Rhythm Boys. Gorman and Snake Mountain will provide the entertainment on Friday night. The New Hampshire-based Gorman is in the area to participate in the Opera House’s educational outreach program, Project SPARK. He’ll spend a couple of days at area schools sharing cowboy music with the kids. Let’s hope he saves some energy for the performance. Bellatrix, the Hibernators and Starline comprise Saturday night’s lineup. For the last two sets of the festival, concert seating will be cleared away to make room for an old-fashioned community dance party. Tickets are $15 for a single evening, or $25 for both nights. Kids under 12 get in for free on Friday. For more info, point your browser to http://www.VergennesOperaHouse.org or call 877-6737.

BENEFIT YOURSELF In a city the size of Burlington, the arts and music community is bound to be tight-knit. When a single creator achieves, it’s a victory for the entire group. And when times are tough, you can be sure everybody feels the pinch. The Fools’ Gold Artists’ Fund was created in 2000 to help artists and musicians in the greater Burlington area with purchases related to their craft. Grants given range from the $30 used by local writer Josh Bridgman to make copies of his play, to David Symons of Black Sea Quartet’s more costly accordion adjustments. Even the ever-popular Spielpalast Cabaret has used the fund; they got $500 to launch their very first shows. You can help keep the cause alive at the Fools’ Paradise Pink & Blue Ball, which takes place on Saturday, April 1, at The Box on Pine St. & Marble Ave. Musical entertainment will be provided by space cowboy Mickey Western, punk primitives Cave Bees, rockers Sons of Dawn and dream weavers Swale. Before the music, there’s an art auction, which takes place at 7 p.m. Need time to make a decision? You can start eyeballing the collection at 5. Sadly, I’ll be out of town on the night of the festivities, but at least I don’t have to worry about that “creative attire.” A $10 suggested donation gets you in the door. Call 658-7458 for more info. m

COSMIC STEW :: Funk and groove bands are a dime a dozen these days, and not all of ’em are created equal. Massachusetts-based NBFB stand out in an increasingly crowded playing field. A potent blend of chops, soul and chemistry is at the heart of the band’s driving “space funk.” Sizzling keyboard vamps and slinky horn lines brush up against psychedelic guitars and dub-infused rhythms. When this band clicks, which is often, they leave the competition in the dust. Hear for yourself this Saturday at Nectar’s. Reggae rockers The Klapp warm up.

JOHN BROWN’S BODY, PRESSURE POINTS

(Self-released, CD)

(Easy Star Records, CD) The historical John Brown was an abolitionist who employed guerrilla war tactics in the hopes of ending slavery. Eventually executed by hanging, he was immortalized in a Union marching song called “John Brown’s Body.� More than a hundred years later, a Boston-based roots-reggae octet appropriated the moniker. The band John Brown’s Body has been active for nearly a decade. Their particular blend of easy-skankin’ riddims and spiritually conscious lyrics have found favor with both party-happy college kids and conscientious reggae fans. JBB’s latest disc, Pressure Points, is a total-immersion listening experience. Impeccably performed and recorded, the disc’s airtight arrangements and subtle production flourishes come together in a progressive reggae juggernaut. The musical fire of opener “Bread� is barely contained. The tune’s bass line shudders and bounces as vocalist Elliot Martin sermonizes on the subject of spiritual nourishment. “This could be the first calling for the end of days / This could be the last trumpet,� he sings. A grim theme for such a sprightly sounding number, but it’s in keeping with Rasta tradition. “New Blood� kicks off with a slamming backbeat and a mesmerizing guitar figure. Built on an uptempo foundation, the song’s shimmering melodies intertwine seamlessly. Vocalist Martin spits staccato wordplay without sacrificing an ounce of tonality. “Are you the new blood they’re pouring into a corpse or a drop of rain falling in the Biblical flood?� he asks over the tune’s relentless pulse. Hey, nobody said anything about a quiz. The rock-steady beat and dense horn lines of “Full Control� recall both Peter Tosh and Fela Kuti. Cascading sheets of wah-wah guitar are met by a fidgety bass line. “What We Gonna Do?� also makes good use of the brass, while “Picking Up� relies on a muscular start-stop riff to deliver its musical message. Things slow down a bit with “Not Enough,� a haunting minor-key tune about resilience in the face of adversity. A musical “dark night of the soul,� the tune boasts a particularly sinister guitar solo. The album’s title track is a downtempo number about seeing through the fog of delusion. Full of cryptic imagery, it closes the record on a decidedly somber note. John Brown’s Body make some of the finest reggae music this side of Jamaica. While Pressure Points may be too modern for purists, it definitely left a mark on me. Hear the band live on Friday, March 31, at the 2x2-beadcrazy032206 3/20/06 11:41 AM Page 1 Higher Ground Ballroom. 1x4-Savoy032906

CASEY REA

When I used to think about jazz flute, I would picture a hairy-chested Herbie Mann posing Playgirl-style on the cover of his 1971 album Push Push. Well, thank goodness for flutist Patricia Julien. Her new disc, Glee, has finally vanquished the image from my mind. Julien, who teaches in the University of Vermont’s music program, is a gifted composer and soulful performer. Her eloquent phrasing is intricate and inviting, and her arrangements are captivating. The disc also features outstanding contributions from Julien’s guitarist husband Alec, bassist Jeremy Harlos and drummer Ari Hoenig. The band tackles eight post-bop numbers with class and verve. The album kicks off with the Harlos-penned “Mei Ling.� A bass figure, guitar harmonics and subtle tom-toms achieve a quasi-mystical mood. Fractured guitar chords generate tension in the tune’s mid-section, which Julien resolves in a flurry of passionate flute lines. The following track, “To Meg� swaps experimentation for more traditional swing. Again, Julien’s quicksilver melodies are inspired. “Without� is a wonderful jazz ballad that might as well already be a standard. Composed by the flutist, the song swings between downcast introspection and romantic mania. Alec Julien contributes to the song’s mercurial feel with a web of discordant licks. The album’s title track puts more emphasis on motion. The song’s rhythmic shifts and European vibe reminded me of a compact car weaving its way through rainy Parisian streets. “X-Walk� features a few passages that border on ’70s art rock. Once again, the guitarist steals the show with moody chord clusters and frenetic, single-string runs. Julien’s flute takes center stage on “Make Me,� a feisty number that bounces around like an errant ping-pong ball. Harlos delivers a fine bass solo, while Hoenig maintains an airy pulse. Album closer “Snafu� takes a basic blues phrase and cleverly subverts it. Following a series of tasty bits from her band, Julien closes shop in a whirlwind of articulate tones. The best part about Glee is its utter lack of pretension. Each player on the disc has intimidating talent, yet the music cordial 1and appealing. It’s great to hear original jazz with such a convivial 3/27/06 4:05remains PM Page spirit. I’m looking forward to hearing another set from this combo.

TAKING NOTE OF VISUAL VERMONT

Lights, Sound, Action!

G IMAGE Matthew Thorsen “Another Side of In: Mike Gordon and Marjorie Minkin.” Firehouse Gallery, Burlington. Through April. http://www.mar jorieminkin.com http://www.anoth ersideofin.com

o to any art opening and you’ll find plenty of viewers chatting about the artwork. But it’s not often the art talks back. At Burlington’s Firehouse Gallery this month and next, a unique exhibit puts a new spin on “interactive.” In fact, in addition to its artistic and technical sophistication, “Another Side of In” is arguably the most fun show the Firehouse has ever hosted. The exhibit consists of 21 Lexan plastic sculptures — wall-hung, abstract torso shapes painted with reflective pigment — and hidden audio elements that respond to movement. The artwork envelops viewers with luxurious layers of sensation — light, color, suggestive shapes, sound — and invites you to manipulate it. In fact, you can’t not affect this installation as you move around the gallery, and that subtle degree of control is universally appealing. That’s why it’s just as entertaining to watch other people interact with the sculptures as it is to do so yourself. Marjorie Minkin’s works aren’t talking, exactly — not with words. But approach one of them and it will greet you with a very unusual sound; draw closer and it gets louder. The sounds paired with each of these sculptures were created by Minkin’s son Mike Gordon — yes, that Mike Gordon. The former Phish bassist didn’t draw on the late, great band’s jams for his part of the collaboration, however. Rather, these sonic components — which range from soothing drones to percussive riffs to hair-raising screeches — are motifs extracted from Gordon’s 2003 album Inside In, which was in turn adapted from the soundtrack from his 2000 film, Outside Out. Detect a pattern? Patter is more like it. A playful way with words is just one aspect of Gordon’s creativity. Though he’s still best known for that long strange swim with Phish, Gordon’s multimedia output includes a book of quirky short stories, films, other soundtracks and a couple of albums with guitarist Leo Kottke. “I’ve always been a project-oriented guy,” he says. “I’m a first-born.” MIKE GORDON

Approach one of these artworks and it will greet you with a very unusual sound; draw closer and it gets louder. This latest project was a long time coming. “We’ve talked about doing something together for the last 15 years,” says Gordon, noting that his mother’s artistry has inspired him since he was a child. After writing Inside In, he thought, the time was right. But advances in technology provided a tipping point for this collaboration as well; the complicated armature behind each of Minkin’s sculptures includes an mp3 player and an ultrasonic range finder — that is, says Gordon, a “proximity detector” — which senses when someone is approaching. New York-based electronics designer Eric Singer, known for his robotics and software for art projects, created this set-up. Gordon and other flesh-and-blood musicians made the original sounds, of course, but what emanates from Minkin’s sculptures is not music, per se. Gordon and his sound engineer Jared

Slomoff selected sound samples from Inside In and digitally edited them in repeating patterns that used to be known as “tape loops.” Minkin then listened to one sound at a time in her studio as she created her visual art. “These are my personal responses to what I heard,” she says. Though she often listens to music while making art, Minkin says this is the first time she literally tried to interpret sound. Perhaps she was aided by her gift of synesthesia — “I do visualize colors when I’m hearing sounds,” she says. “I also see colors when I hear words, or names. I always assumed everyone did.” Not, unfortunately. But Gordon and Minkin have certainly made sensory cross-pollination accessible to the rest of us with “Another Side of In.” The exhibit also represents a happy marriage of art and science, and not only because of the electronics. Lexan, a “space-age” polycarbonate plastic, has enabled Minkin to “express the ephemeral qualities of light found in the natural world,” as her artist’s statement puts it. Lightweight, shatterproof and unbreakable, the stuff has many uses in architecture, eyeglasses, bulletproof vests and more — Minkin notes, “It’s everywhere in our lives.” In her studio, she heats up sheets of the clear plastic and molds them into shapes that loosely resemble torsos with topographical surfaces. Though the process she’s developed is a secret, Minkin reveals that an engineer’s heating gun and potholders are involved. After the plastic has cooled and dried, she paints it with translucent gels and Golden brand “interfer-

ence paints that refract color as you move around them,” Minkin explains. The sculptures at the Firehouse appear to have several layers of the plastic, inexplicably held together, with space in between them. The colors are gorgeous, from deep plum to electric blue-green to creamy white, and are often iridescent or “metallic,” like the paint used on cars. The glittering paint and the rippled plastic reflect and refract light, making the sculptures appear to wink, playfully or seductively. Minkin — who made backdrops for Phish in the old days — still makes paintings on canvas as well as giclée prints. But she says working with the plastic is liberating. “I liked that concept of trying to layer, seeing things beneath,” she says. She gives her son credit for the additional layers of “Another Side of In” — the sound and, particularly, the interactivity. “I didn’t realize how effective that would be until I saw it,” Minkin admits. “Mike also wanted the sound in the piece, not just emanating from speakers somewhere.” Gordon says that the sensors detect movement in a “gradient of proximity,” roughly 2 to 5 feet away. Each piece is a little different, contributing to its unpredictability. No one anticipated, though, that the sculptures would begin to hold their own conversations. “They ping against each other,” Gordon explains. One night he was walking past the closed gallery and decided to eavesdrop. “I put my ear to the window and heard them cross-talking,” Gordon says with a satisfied smile. Even from the outside, apparently, “Another Side of In” has something to say. m

T EXHIBIT “Selections,” prints by 16 artists from the Two Rivers Printmaking Studio. Flynndog, Burlington. Through April.

ARTWORK “Sea Grapes” by Elizabeth Gardener

PHOTO Marc Awodey

he old Tip Top Bread building in White River Junction has become a showcase of Vermont’s “creative economy” since its redevelopment in 2001. The new 42,000-square-foot incarnation, christened the Tip Top Media & Arts Building, now houseses a café and dozens of business and studios. The Two Rivers Printmaking Studio, so named after the nearby confluence of the White and Connecticut rivers, is one of the main attractions. In celebration of the studio’s fifth anniversary, Burlington’s Flynndog gallery is hosting an exhibition of prints by more than a dozen Two Rivers artists. Bill Darling’s dramatic, black-andwhite figurative etchings are highlights of the show. “Flamenco” focuses on the face and graceful, outstretched arm of a female dancer. Her eyes look to the lower right of the slim horizontal composition, while her arm bisects the picture plane. Darling’s exquisite draftsmanship captures the tension of that gesture. Traditional etchings are made by coating a zinc — or other metal — plate with an acid-resistant medium, then drawing lines through that coating. The lines are etched in an acid bath, and the plate is cleaned, inked and printed. In photo-etching, a photographic image is developed on a light-

sensitive plate prior to being etched and printed. Debra Jayne’s pieces are the only examples of that technique in the show. Her photo-etching “Rainy Day” is a park-like scene in a thin, vertical composition. The images are described in silhouettes; leafless trees cast shadows into the foreground and darken the distant edge of the parkland. The rain appears as fine striations, “pouring” from top to bottom right. Ian Baldwin’s dry-point print, entitled simply “K,” is endowed with a broader range of grays. A huge mushroom cloud appears on the horizon, and a car in the foreground speeds away from it on a flat country road. Baldwin’s flurry of fuzzy tonalities seems executed with the same urgency as is the motorist’s escape. The dry-point technique is direct, as lines are simply scratched onto the etching plate without using an acid bath. Monotypes provide some of the exhibition’s most colorful offerings. “Sea Grapes” by Elizabeth Gardener is a leafy monoprint with collage elements rendered in translucent greens, raw sienna and grays. She deftly varies the weights of her lines in the shallow space. Fine white lines describe foreground leaf veins, while darker lines appear further back.

“Summer Meadow” by Nancy Gerlach is rich with thin, white lines similar to those of Gardener’s, but the monotype also has a firmament of cerulean blue. Below, a tangle of green and ocher grasses and wild flowers fills the space, though they are only loosely representational. Gerlach’s other two monotypes, installed side by side, are even more abstract. Five patches of red-orange punctuate the cool, bluegreen hues of “Orange and Green,” while “Town and Country” is enlivened with indigo and yellow ocher. The chromatic harmonies are impeccable in both. Sue Schiller presents etchings as constructions; her overlapping sheets of abstract, colored prints appear to hover in deep frames. Her uniquely sculptural pieces, “Untitled” and “Seascape,” have vibrant yet limited hues — orange, red, sienna, raw umber — as if to highlight the wavy, cut-out forms. About 15 printmaking techniques, from lithography to gum-eraser stamp printing, appear in this show, and all 16 artists have mastered their exacting crafts. The Tip Top building hasn’t been a bakery since 1974, but with any luck the artists at Two Rivers Printmaking Studio will make enough bread to survive. m

“Time to get serious folks - we’re not makin’ strawberry shortcake here, we’re makin’ the best damned strawberry shortcake refrigerator magnets on the market.”

the straight dope

by CECIL ADAMS

illustration: slug signorino

all worthwhile human knowledge

Dear Cecil, This is going to take a while to explain, so bear with me. My kid is a fan of the Age of Empires series of computer games, which give you a bird’s-eye view of the landscape on which your armies cavort. You can see an amazing amount of detail, but a while back I noticed something I found comical: whenever you come across an A-of-E island, you see waves crashing on the beach on all sides. Damn computer geeks who wrote this need to get out more, I thought — don’t they know waves are driven by the wind, and the wind can’t blow in all directions at once? I felt smug till we visited the Hawaiian island of Kauai over Christmas. Our cottage was on the south side of the island — we were lulled to sleep by the waves crashing on the beach. We visited the famous Na Pali coast on the north side of the island, and were impressed but a little puzzled (I was, anyway) by the massive waves crashing on the beach. Finally, we took a helicopter tour, and you know what? On every side of the island there were waves crashing on the beach. I’m stumped. OK, the waves on the north were bigger than those on the south — supposedly this is due to winter storms. But shouldn’t the waters on the lee side of an island be calm? Alden S., Chicago Obviously not, but don’t let that get your hopes up, pops. Just because a computer game faithfully reflects reality once in a while doesn’t mean you’re about to meet Lara Croft. Yes, waves crash on all sides of an island, and no, that doesn’t require the wind to blow in all directions at once. (Well, from all directions at once.) In the big-picture sense you’re right that the chief force driving waves is the wind. However, the ocean is a capacious place with a lot of water in it, and once set in motion a sequence of waves, or wave train (actually, in mid-ocean it’s more of a deep-swell train), isn’t an easy thing to divert. So while waves move in the direction of the prevailing winds as a general proposition, what the wind is doing right this instant is largely immaterial. Instead, how a

wave behaves on encountering an island is mainly a function of its interaction with the surrounding sea floor. No doubt you can find more elegant explanations, but the following homely metaphor should get the matter across well enough. Imagine two roller skaters holding a beach towel between them as they skate due south toward a flagpole. They pass on either side but the middle of the towel snags on the pole. The skaters are swung in a circle with the pole at its center (we’ll assume they’re sufficiently nimble to avoid crashing into each other), while the towel wraps tightly around the pole. A bug on the south side of the pole looks up to see incoming terry cloth and thinks: Gosh, that looks like a towel heading north at high SPLAT. You get the picture. The towel and the pole represent a wave striking an island. Initially the wave is heading uniformly south, but as it brushes the sloping sea bottom surrounding the island, friction causes it to slow and bend (or refract, I guess we should say) and in effect wrap around the obstructing landform. The practical result is that though the waves strike most forcefully on the north side of the island, they crash on the beach even on the south side, in all cases (barring topographical eccentricities) looking essentially like they’re coming from straight offshore. Luckily for us traditionalists, this life-imitates-Age-of-Empires thing goes only so far. Who really wants human reproduction to be a matter of simply selecting a town center and pressing V?

PREVIEWS

Inside Man HHH

Y SHOW ME SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE MONEY Owen’s not in it for the cash in Lee’s supertwisty new heist caper.

ou could drive a cross-town bus through the holes in the script for Spike Lee’s stylish and engaging heist thriller. But the film compensates for its numerous lapses in logic with great pacing, snappy performances and a couple of nifty lastminute twists. In his fourth collaboration with the director, Denzel Washington plays an NYPD detective who specializes in hostage situations. Because things didn’t end happily the last time he saw action, and because a dark cloud of suspicion presently hovers over him ($140,000 in evidence is missing in one of his cases), Washington’s character is a man with something to prove. “Bad guys, here I come!” he jokes, with barely containable glee, to his partner when robbers take control of a Manhattan bank — along with 50 or so customers in the wrong place at the wrong time. The number-one bad guy is played by Clive Owen. In addition to leading a crew disguised as industrial painters, his duties include looking into the camera and recounting key elements of the story at the picture’s opening and close. One of the most out-of-left-field plot surprises in recent memory emerges from this framing device. That’s the good news. The not-so-good news is that his account of the caper’s who, what, when, where and why leaves a whopping amount unexplained. For example, it quickly becomes evident that this is not a run-of-the-mill bank robbery. Mountains of cash lie undisturbed in the building’s open vault and the crew pays almost no attention to it. They show far more interest in the room where the bank’s safety deposit boxes are located. And virtually all that interest is directed to a particular box belonging to the institution’s founder and owner. It contains a document that would ruin the reputation of the prominent philanthropist (Christopher Plummer) if it were to become public. Nothing like a little Nazi collaboration in your past to free up your social calendar. Among the many conundrums never addressed: Why would anyone preserve such a potentially damaging document rather than light an expensive cigar with it? How on Earth could Owen possibly have learned about this top-secret piece of paper? And what the heck is Jodie Foster doing in this movie? Here’s the thing: Lee sets the stage for the interplay between Washington and Owen with a savvy mix of procedural realism and Soderberg-hip criminal cool. Both hostage taker and negotiator are sharp, no-nonsense customers, and

nothing about their interaction initially smacks of studio silliness. Then, out of the blue, we have Foster in a completely preposterous role taking the action in an unbelievable direction for purposes that are confounding and dispensable in equal measure. We are not told what her character does for a living. All we know is that powerful people call her when they have a problem, and she proceeds to do shadowy things in expensive designer wear. Plummer rings her up and shares his concerns about his safety deposit box. The next thing you know, she’s waltzing past Washington into the bank to conduct her own negotiations with the heavily armed Owen. And he doesn’t even appear surprised to see her. Since the thief retains possession of the document, it’s unclear why Plummer writes Foster a fat check a few minutes later. To say the least, this is not the film’s finest half-hour. Fortunately, the film’s running time is 130 minutes, so, even factoring out the time wasted by Foster’s gratuitous appearance, there’s still a picture left over that’s worth seeing. Washington is at the top of his game. You can sense the wheels turning in his character’s head as he goes back and forth with Owen. He waits for just the right moment to initiate contact, acting entirely by instinct. When that moment arrives, he takes a surprising tack, employing humor and bluntness. “This isn’t going to turn out well for you,” he laughs into the phone. “You’ve seen Dog Day Afternoon.” Owen’s performance is every bit as watchable. The actor creates a walking, talking question mark of a ringleader, one minute beating an uncooperative hostage savagely, the next shaking his head over a child’s violent video game. Lee squeezes more than suspense and white-knuckle thrills from the material. He succeeds in slipping in the occasional comment on post-9/11 race relations as well. When a hostage is sent out with a message tied around his neck, for example, an officer points a rifle at him and yells, “He’s an Arab! Is that a bomb?” “I’m a Sikh,” the confused fellow protests as he’s pushed to the ground and stripped of his turban. “I’m going to walk out the front door when I’m good and ready,” Owen informs Washington at one point. The detective assumes he’s joking. After all, cops are surrounding the building. Snipers watch from nearby rooftops. Police cameras peer into the bank’s windows. He’s not kidding. After all the heist films Hollywood has made, you might not think Inside Man could possibly have something up its sleeve that you’ve never seen in a heist film before. It does. m

SEVEN DAYS GOBI WOMEN’S SONG

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Monster Movie into the rock ’n’ roll business. Lucas spent four years playing guitar with Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band, a Frank Zappa-like blues ensemble. A decade later, Lucas launched his own “psychedelic hard rock” group, Gods and Monsters. “We’ve made more than a dozen albums,” he notes. “A new one’s coming out this summer.” Lucas’ cinematic efforts include the score for an Oscar-nominated 2001 documentary, LaLee’s Kin: The Legacy of Cotton. In the 1990s Lucas also crafted background music for ABC News segments on such topics as the Unabomber and the Martin Luther King assassination. “It was invariably the most violent events, or stories with the scent of death,” he suggests. Accordingly, The Golem is a rather grim saga. The clay creature, which eventually runs amok, reportedly inspired the Frankenstein and Mummy genre in Hollywood. Lucas, who was raised as a Reform Jew, describes the “crazy, psychotic” music he wrote for the picture as classical and rock “with a Hebraic tint.” That tint will be full-tilt at the Israel Film Festival, which begins at 7 p.m. on Sunday in Burlington’s new Israel Café at 212 Battery Street — the Kelliher Samets Volk building. This free monthly series comes courtesy of the Israel Center of Vermont, a year-old organization devoted to

cultural and educational matters. “We have no political or religious affiliations,” says Shoshannah Boray, the center’s program director. “Most of the films we’re presenting are sliceof-life, not hard-hitting political tracts.” The debut feature is Bonjour Monsieur Shlomi, a 2004 comingof-age drama about an adolescent boy. For info, visit http://www.icvt.org or call 1-866-755-4288. Sas Carey worked in Mongolia as a United Nations health educator for three months in 1997. “The same year, I got a message while meditating that I needed to make a film there,” says the Middlebury holistic nurse. Carey shot Gobi Women’s Song over subsequent summers — 2001, 2003 and 2004 — in the Mongolian desert. She’ll screen the 73-minute documentary, which traces the daily lives of five nomads, at 8 p.m. on Friday in Middlebury’s Great Falls Fine Arts Gallery. Call 388-1301 to reserve a $10 ticket.

Carey first visited Mongolia on a 1994 American Holistic Nurses Association tour to learn about traditional medicine, a trip made possible by one of her Vermont clients who offered to pre-pay for seven years’ worth of treatment. The film was similarly blessed. “Some stoners I know from the old days gave me money to return to Mongolia in 2001,” says Carey, who migrated to the Northeast Kingdom in the 1960s as a back-to-the-earth hippie. “I also had several grants.” From the capital city of Ulan Bator, she trekked through the Gobi for 12 hours with her international crew to a seasonal nomad settlement. In a sense, these folks living there weren’t complete strangers. “I was once married to a Mongolian man,” Carey points out. “His sister’s husband comes from that area, so the people were really welcoming to me.” Her next project? “I’ll return to northern Mongolia,” Carey says. “I want to do a film about reindeer herders and shamans.” 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.

Meredith said wittily, “GOOGLING means to go ogling.” The list of abused SUBSTANCES includes lipstick and mascara. The Old TESTAMENT never said Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Most of the OPPOSITION forces live in the 12th century. The nonevent was attended by a collection of NONENTITIES In a convertible, MAXIMUM speed can mean wig loss. It’s not UNUSUAL to hear Tom Jones sing that song. There’s an idea of ALPHABETICAL order in Key West. A leaky church wall has produced another IMITATION of Christ. Our CRACKERJACK meteorologist has a stick-on smile. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS HIGH HAT. 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.

n the early 1970s Gary Lucas was a student at Yale University when he founded a campus horror-film society called Things That Go Bump in the Night. This weekend the acclaimed guitarist will perform his goosebumpinducing score for The Golem, a 1920 silent screening at the FlynnSpace in Burlington. The project combines two of Lucas’ greatest passions: music and scary movies. The German Expressionist classic, on tap at 4 and 8 p.m. on Saturday, is based on an ancient folktale about a rabbi who constructs a gigantic man out of clay to protect his Prague ghetto against anti-Semitic attacks. “I was always fascinated by Jewish myths and legends but had never seen the film,” the Syracuse native explains during a telephone interview from his Manhattan home. “In 1989 the Brooklyn Academy of Music commissioned me as an avant-garde artist to create a new work. I looked at a Golem print and was bowled over.” Lucas scored it with his childhood friend Walter Horn, who initially accompanied him on keyboards. The piece earned rave reviews. “Walter was committed to a day job, so I figured out a way to go solo,” the fiftysomething Lucas recalls. “Since then, I’ve toured with the film in Europe, Scandinavia, Israel and Russia. I tell people I’m in the Golem business.” Back in 1978, however, he went

RABBI’S ROOTS A great sauce for salmon: 1/2 C sour cream • 1/2 C Rabbi’s Roots horseradish 3/4 tsp ground caraway seeds 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, or 1 tsp dried dill 2 T very thinly sliced scallions, white and light green parts only 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper • 3/4 tsp coarse salt Mix everything together in a small bowl….easy and truly delicious! The best way to use this with salmon that I’ve found is this: 4 cups loosely packed arugula or mesclun mix 1 T fresh squeezed lemon juice • 2 T olive oil Fresh ground pepper • 1 T canola oil 4 salmon fillets, approximately 1 inch thick In a large bowl, toss the greens with lemon juice and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Put a mound in the center of a larger serving plate. Heat canola oil in a wide pan set over medium-high heat. Season the salmon well with salt and pepper, and add to pan skin side up. Cook until crisped and brown, about 4 minutes. Lower heat and turn, cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes. The salmon should be somewhat underdone at the center. Arrange the fillets on top of the greens. Serve right away with that fantastic sauce on the side

SATURDAY 01

OY JOY

In comedy, it’s only fair to make fun of groups to which you belong. Sean Altman and Rob Tannenbaum take that principle to heart in their review, What I Like About Jew. The pair, whom Time Out New York calls “the Bart Simpsons of the Yeshiva,” offer balls-out odes to circumcision (“A Little Off the Top”) and Passover (“They Tried to Kill Us, We Survived, Let’s Eat”). Like gefilte fish, the act won’t suit everyone’s taste — the scathing “Jews for Jesus” might set delicate ears aflame. Former Rockapella front man Altman co-wrote the TV theme song “Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?” Tannenbaum created the recent VH1 special “So Jewtastic.” The two schtick together in an all-faiths-welcome, April Fool’s Day show.

scene@OXYGEN LOUNGE BURLINGTON, THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 5 P.M. Our red blood cells work hard to keep us alive. Aided by hemoglobin, they deliver oxygen through our lungs, heart, arteries and capillaries. Everyone needs oxygen to survive. Unfortunately, the indoor air you’re probably inhaling right now contains only 21 percent oxygen. But now, at Vermont’s first oxygen bar, you can experience breathing 95 percent oxygen. Talk about pumped. When I visited the Church Street operation last week, I found the door next to Borders, climbed a staircase to the second floor, and followed a long, winding hallway. The office-like room had a comfortable couch, a table, a desk, a soothing fountain and a bubbling, colorful contraption: the oxygen bar. Owner Tom Cline greeted me and another curious patron with a smile and firm handshake, then sat us down at the machine. We strapped on breathing tubes while Cline explained the process. Two concentrators filter out nitrogen and other pollutants from the air, he said, giving you a direct, pure dose of oxygen. What separates oxygen bars from nursing homes is how the essential element is packaged; at Oxygen Lounge, the distilled water through which the oxygen passes is “flavored� with aromatherapy. Four small machines, each holding several tubes of colored water, gurgled with options — grape, banana, mango, lavender, eucalyptus and more. You can switch around, or stick with one aroma for your whole session. I chose orange-vanilla, and within seconds a pleasant breeze of oxygen was flowing into my lungs. The effect was unique. The gentle hum of the tanks relaxed me, but the oxygen boost was like two hours of yoga squeezed into less time than it takes to watch “The Simpsons.� (Sessions start at 15 minutes — and $12 — but Cline gave us 30 minutes.) After the machine clicked off, I left the lounge feeling recharged and at ease. That is, until I got outside, when it seemed I suddenly had the powerful senses of a superhero. The Marketplace smelled polluted and burnt, its sound dominated by clanging machinery and automobiles. I swear I felt my red blood cells cringe. 2x1-citymarket032906(2).pdf 3/28/06 10:31:38 AM CHRIS KING 2x2-ValleyPlayers032906

“...they frolic through classic western swing, vintage pop, and country chestnuts, and their own clever, timeless tunes. Arbo’s voice is smart and sultry, with winking nuances that seem always to be sharing secrets with us. Her fiddle is at once elegant and sinewy, shimmering with sly wit and mystery. She is, in all the important ways, already a star of the first order.” — The Boston Globe “Arbo has a soft touch and love for swing music that shines through in her fiddle playing. More importantly, the lady has a drop-dead gorgeous voice. When she purrs, it’s mighty hard not to purr back...” — Robert Resnick Seven Days

TAKING NOTES

For fans of classical composition, locating live performances of rarely played works can be a thrill. This week, art-music aficionados can appreciate five 20th-century French opuses at any of three concerts organized by pianist and UVM faculty member Paul Orgel. Claude Debussy’s painterly “Sonata for Violin and Piano” and Maurice Ravel’s antiImperialist “Madagascan Songs” share billing with “The Black Bird,” the first of several birdsong-based pieces by the Catholic mystic Olivier Messiaen. Seldom-heard selections from Provençal-Jewish composer Darius Milhaud’s song cycle Poems Juifs precede Gabriel Faure’s “Piano Trio in D Minor.” Joining Orgel are Dieuwke Davydov, an award-winning cellist and Middlebury College instructor, Montpelier-based flutist Karen Kevra, soprano Lisa Jablow of Johnson State College, and violinist Katherine Winterstein, concertmaster of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra.

KEEPING SCORE

Art-rock guitarist Gary Lucas earned his chops playing with ’70s avant-garde ax visionary Captain Beefheart. Now a virtuoso in his own right, Lucas tours regularly with his band Gods and Monsters, but also still performs his original live score for the 1920 silent horror film The Golem, first composed 17 years ago. German director Paul Wegener based his 70-minute classic on European-Jewish folklore. Set in Prague and often cited as a cinematic predecessor to Boris Karloff’s Frankenstein, it follows a rabbi who tries to protect his congregation from persecution by creating a superhuman creature made of clay. The magic backfires in a “Sorcerer’s Apprentice”-like plot twist, and the golem becomes a less-thanmodel citizen. Lucas provides the monstrously dark soundtrack during two separate screenings.

PLAYING HOUSE

Considered the father of modern theater, Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen is the most frequently performed dramatist, after Shakespeare. His scripts likewise lend themselves to adaptations. This week at the Hopkins Center, the New York City-based experimental theater company Mabou Mines offers its unique perspective on A Doll’s House. Ibsen’s original criticizes the Victorian norms that dictated a wife’s deference to her husband in all things, from the household budget to her own opinions. In Mabou Mines’ humorously painful version, male dwarves and tall female actresses accentuate the gender-based power play. Pint-sized patriarchs dominate the groveling, 6-foot ladies in their lives, but eventually they come up, er, short. A surprise ending features a puppet opera and nudity.

‘MABOU MINES DOLLHOUSE’ Tuesday and Wednesday, March 4 & 5, Moore Theater, Hopkins Center, Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H., 7 p.m. $28. Info, 603-646-2422. http://www.maboumines.org/

L RE A

MARCH 30 - APRIL 05

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It would be a great time to launch several new ventures all at once, even if it means abandoning an old project you’ve been working on for months. APRIL FOOL! Don’t you dare do what I just suggested. The future won’t thrive unless you lavish the past with the gift of your careful attention. Please, please, please put the finishing touches on a labor of love you’ve been working on for months — and then start new projects.

omen predicting the outbreak of tribulations. Beware of the possibility that a large bird carrying a turtle to its nest accidentally drops its prey on your head from a great height. APRIL FOOL! The truth is, my fellow Cancerian, this should be one of the most worry-free weeks in the history of your life. You’re welcome, of course, to dream up a host of scary fantasies if you find that entertaining, but I can practically guarantee that they’ll all be illusory.

TAURUS

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I’m reasonably cer-

(April 20-May 20): Does the curse “goddamn it” fly out of your mouth every time you stub your toe or misplace your keys? Do you know the brand names of 10 different beers but have trouble remembering any of the Ten Commandments? Do you sometimes undress people in your imagination without their permission? If so, says the Weekly World News, you’re going to hell when you die many years from now. There is, however, a tiny chance you can begin some atonement now that will cancel out the karma from the above-named sins and stave off eternal damnation. APRIL FOOL! The acts I named aren’t sins, and besides, there’s no such thing as hell. However, it’s true that this is a good time to seek forgiveness and try to correct old mistakes.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The number 6714 has always been devoid of any cosmic significance for you. It has failed to be involved with a single stroke of good fortune. But now it has burst into your life to serve as your lucky number — an omen of abundance, grace, and success. Your assignment: Make prodigious use of 6714. APRIL FOOL! There is no such thing as a lucky number, except in the sense that all numbers are lucky numbers for those people who believe they are lucky. Your real assignment is this, Gemini: Find a way to believe in your heart that for you, all numbers are lucky.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): Watch out for fake pizza-delivery drivers who’re actually trying to issue you a subpoena. Be careful you don’t see a blood red sky at dusk, in case it’s a bad

tain that a supermodel wearing antlers and clown face paint will soon offer you $10,000 for the right to spank you on national TV. It’ll be that kind of week, Leo: a time when opportunities will come your way cloaked in seemingly absurd circumstances. You might also expect that a homeless person with the flu will offer to lead you to a dumpster in which there’s a suitcase containing a priceless 2500-year-old archaeological artifact. APRIL FOOL! It’s true that this week will bring more opportunities than usual, and they’ll probably all have some odd twist — but not quite that odd.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): This is a perfect astrological moment to recreate the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel using Play-Doh as your raw material. It’s also a good time to learn to play Mozart’s Magic Flute on the kazoo, produce an abridged, 1000-word version of James Joyce’s Ulysses, or build a miniature model of the Sphinx using toothpicks and rubber bands. APRIL FOOL! Doing any of the things I just described would be a silly waste of time and energy. Please find projects that are truly worthy of your creativity, which is overflowing right now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Astronomers estimate that about 8500 stars are visible to the naked eye. Half of them are always below the horizon and therefore out of sight. Since most of us live amidst the light pollution of cities, the number of stars we can actually see is further reduced to about 2500. Your assignment this week, Libra, is to go outside on a clear, moonless

night and make a wish on 1000 of those stars. It’s the Wishing Season. Go wild. APRIL FOOL! While it’s true that this is the Wishing Season, it would be a poor use of your energy to dilute your longing in such a scattershot manner. Instead, choose just one of the visible stars and beam your most important heart’s desire in its direction.

does not just provide vague platitudes about how to be a better citizen. If you believe that, you’re listening to the wrong still, small voice. In fact, the real one is always overflowing with extremely practical information about how to run your dayto-day life in a way that’s fun and meaningful. Listen harder and faster than usual, please.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Due to a AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This special dispensation from the cosmic powers-thatbe, you have been authorized to basically just sit around and do nothing this week. Are you ready to enjoy the pleasures of laziness and dissipation, Scorpio? Do you feel overdue for an extended phase of vegging out? You can do so without incurring even a pinch of karmic debt. APRIL FOOL! The truth is that you now have so much physical energy and emotional stamina that you can be three times as intense as you’ve ever been before. That’s a good thing, since the universe will be working you three times as hard as usual.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “I always advise people never to give advice,” said P.G. Wodehouse. Having seen the wisdom of his counsel, I will from now on fill your horoscopes with poetic and philosophical ruminations about your destiny, but I will never again give advice. There are enough people in this world telling you what you should do. I pledge to make this space your sanctuary. APRIL FOOL! The truth is, dispensing advice is in my genes. For me to repress it would be like asking Howard Stern to stop being vulgar. Now here’s my advice for you: Identify a natural talent that you were born to express. Then take one practical step to bring it into a fuller flowering.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The still, small voice within you usually just provides you vague platitudes about how to be a better citizen. But in the coming days, it will offer you truly useful information that could help you become richer, sexier, more popular and more powerful. It may even give you the winning numbers of the lottery. Make damn sure you tune in. APRIL FOOL! The still, small voice within you

would be an excellent week to profit by spreading deception and misinformation, Aquarius. Your skills as a liar are at a peak. The more falsehoods you concoct, the more successful you will be. APRIL FOOL! It’s true that you could achieve illusory progress with the help of deceit. But that progress would soon lead you into a morass that would sap your energy. Besides, the ironic fact of the matter is that you now have the capacity to tell the truth with more clarity and gusto than you ever have before. To take advantage of that potential will bring you surprising rewards in the long run, even if they may require short-term sacrifices.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It’s high time for you to spend more money, Pisces. You’re lagging way behind in your purchase of the goods and services you desperately need. Not only that: You’ve been lax in getting yourself the profound healing that can only come from shopping therapy. Get out there and splurge! Your role model is the Pentagon, which shells out an average of $8,612 per second. APRIL FOOL! I was just kidding. The truth is that it makes sense for you to spend more money on only one thing: experiences that will help you get better at performing a beloved skill that will fuel many future adventures.

What is Speed Gazing? An equal number of men and women are split into pairs. Each pair spends two minutes looking into each other’s eyes — no talking, just simple eye contact. When the two minutes are up, the men move to the next table until everyone in the group has a chance to glance. There’s no scoring, note taking, or matchmaking — just a fun, “eyes-breaking” activity that could prove electrifying!

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, My girlfriend and I have been dating since January. She’s pretty and smart and has a great sense of humor, and we’re very compatible in bed. Lately, though, I’ve started noticing a pattern with her that has me worried. She and I have been getting along great so far, but she doesn’t seem to have any other friends. She complains about her job because most of the people she works with are jerks, she says. She bad-mouths her family all the time, and has told me horror stories about various former lovers. Her stories are fun to listen to — as I said, she’s very funny — but I’m starting to get sick of always hearing the same thing. And I’m beginning to wonder if the problem might be her, and how long it will be before she decides that I’m a horror story, too. Part of me says I should get out, but another part says I’m being unfair. Please advise. Had It in Hinesburg Dear Had It, It’s her. Get out now, before you have a horror story of your own to tell. Love, Lola

Register for Speed Gazing

What is Speed Gazing? An equal number of men and women are split into pairs. Each pair spends two minutes looking into each other’s eyes — no talking, just simple eye contact. When the two minutes are up, the men move to the next table until everyone in the group has a chance to glance. There’s no scoring, note taking, or matchmaking — just a fun, “eyes-breaking” activity that could prove electrifying!
