Medication abortion is a drug combination that induces abortion by blocking the hormones necessary to maintain a pregnancy or by interfering with cell division.

Also, the article suggests that PPNNE has four health centers in Vermont. PPNNE has 15 health centers in Vermont; only four provide abortion services. Three provide surgical and medication abortion and one provides only medication abortion.

If any of your readers would like more information on PPNNE, EC or RU486, they can visit http:// www.ppnne.org.

Thanks again for your great paper.

Jessica Oski BURLINGTON

Oski is Vermont Public Affairs Director for PPNNE.

ABORTION RIGHTS Thanks to Ken Picard for writing such a thoughtful and wellresearched article on barriers to abortion access in Vermont [“Access Denied?” April 27].

The ban on federal Medicaid funding for abortion that Picard describes creates a serious inequity.

No other medical procedure has been singled out in this way.

Almost three-quarters of women who have an abortion end up paying for it themselves. It’s estimated that as many as one in three lowincome women who would choose an abortion if it were covered by Medicaid instead carry an unwanted pregnancy to term.

Vermont Access to Reproductive Freedom (VARF) provides financial assistance. The lack of providers in Vermont dictates that many of VARF’s clients have to go to Boston, New York or Montréal, where their state insurance no longer pays. To cover the cost, they may have to work with the clinic,

Planned Parenthood’s Laura Fund, VARF, additional funds around the country, and friends and family.

They also have to find resources for transportation, food, housing, and/or child care.

By the time she’s through, a typical patient will have had to tell her story to countless people, many of them strangers, in a desperate attempt to gain access to a procedure most people assume is widely available. The irony is that abortion’s legality is based on the right to privacy.

We need to insist that lawmakers restore full Medicaid funding for abortion by repealing the Hyde Amendment and all other state and federal bans on Medicaid funding.

The range of reproductive healthcare options available should not be based on a woman’s bank balance.

Selene Colburn HINESBURG

Colburn chairs the Vermont Access to Reproductive Freedom board.

SAVE THE SUNFLOWERS We all know that in Vermont we are to expect long and cold winters.

When spring arrives and the ground begins to thaw, we look forward to familiar sights: sunsets on

the lake, the return of our winged friends and the flow of water after the ice has melted. It is a sure sign of spring when the grass begins to green and flowers start to bloom.

So it is with a sad and heavy heart to learn that that the sight of the tall and majestic sunflowers on the corner of Pearl Street and Winooski Avenue will no longer brighten our day. Instead, they are to be replaced by a sterile and “manicured” chunk of lawn.

These sunflowers that bring a smile to the faces of young and old alike have been banned! The Burlington Community Land Trust has stated, “They are not neat enough.” Neat enough!? We, the intentional and eclectic community of Burlington, have been grateful for this aesthetically bountiful gift.

These are the kind of things that make Burlington unique, and why folks like us want to live here.

If you are as disheartened as we are about this loss, please call Dan, a property manager, at Burlington Community Land Trust at 8626244, and let him know that we want our sunflowers back.

Michelle Cunning BURLINGTON

CORRECTION AND CLARIFICATION: Last week’s cover story about access to abortions in Vermont identified Dartmouth-Hancock Medical Center as being located in Hanover, New Hampshire. It’s actually in Lebanon.

Also, due to a transmission error, the last third of the “State of the Arts” column was omitted. The full column can be found under “Columns” on the Seven Days website, http://www.sevendaysvt.com. Our apologies for both errors.

BY PETER FREYNE

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

The Lusty Month of May!

T

“

ra la! It’s here. That shocking time of year.

When tons of wicked little thoughts merrily appear!”

Yes, indeed. It’s “The Lusty Month of May,” as the song from Camelot goes, and May in Vermont this year means a shower of wicked thoughts regarding the state’s suddenly wide-open races for Congress in the upcoming 2006 election.

With Independent U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords retiring, and Republican Gov. Jim Douglas happy to stay right where he is holding down the GOP’s Green Mountain beachhead, lusty political thoughts are breaking out all over Vermont.

For Independent Congressman Bernie Sanders, Jeezum Jim’s April 20 announcement was something he’s been patiently waiting to hear for years. Ol’ Bernardo’s 2006 “Vermont Independent for the U.S. Senate” website is already up and running at http://www.bernie.org.

And some say Gov. Douglas’ announcement on Saturday, taking himself out of the 2006 U.S. Senate race, was the icing on Ol’ Bernardo’s Senate cake. One would think that it only helps to clear the road for an assured Sanders victory celebration 18 months down the track, right?

Ah, but it’s the lusty month of May, “when everyone throws self-control away.”

And at the moment, leaders of the Vermont Republican and Democratic Parties are far from conceding Jeezum Jim Jeffords’ U.S. Senate seat to Bernie Sanders.

And Progressives are almost certain to run a candidate for Bernie’s vacated U.S. House seat, potentially setting up a very dicey, three-way race.

Meanwhile, WCAX-TV appears to have jumped the gun over the weekend with a report attributed by newsman Andy Potter to information UVM political science prof Garrison Nelson got from Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank. Ch. 3 reported a deal has already been cut greasing Mr. Sanders’ Senate skids. The alleged deal, according to WGOP-TV, is that the Vermont Democratic Party will not run a candidate in Sanders’ U.S. Senate race in return for the Progressive Party not running a candidate in the U.S. House race.

It sounds logical but, it’s simply not true. Not yet, anyway.

Roll Call, the Capitol Hill daily, reported on Monday there was no such Vermont political deal. And the chairs of both the Democratic and Progressive Parties told Seven Days the exact same thing this week.

According to Roll Call: A Vermont television station reported over the weekend that Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said that just such a deal had been struck. But Frank said in an interview Monday that while he agrees with that strategy, he does not know of any formal deal between the parties.

“That’s my inference,” Frank said. “There is no actual ‘deal’ that I know of.”

Frank said that if a Democrat wants to challenge Sanders, no one can stop him, but that it would not be helpful to Sanders and would not be smart strategically if both Democrats and Progressives ultimately want

to deny Republicans the Senate seat.

Sanders’ Chief of Staff Jeff Weaver also confirmed there is “no deal” between Vermont’s Democrats and Progressives.

Weaver did tell us that “ongoing talks” are underway, and that there has been communication between Sanders’ office and leaders of the Vermont Progressive Party.

Rep. Sanders, as you know, is not a member of the Vermont Progressive Party, though he is a Prog Party hero.

Progressive Party Chairman Martha Abbott told Seven Days, “I assume that most Progressives will be supporting Bernie.” After all, noted Martha, “This party really grew out of the progressive movement I would credit Bernie with starting.”

As for behind-the-scenes negotiations, Abbott said, “People are talking about different scenarios and what might happen and what people want to do. It’s really too early to predict what we’re going to do,” she added, “but we are a major party, very on the move, and we’re excited about these opportunities and we will definitely be in the game.”

Great.

Everybody knows that the emergence of a Prog candidate in the 2006 House race would be sweet music for Republican ears.

In fact, few doubt Brian Dubie would be in the enviable position of choosing between a race for the U.S. Senate and a race for the U.S. House had Prog Party Lite-Gov candidate Anthony Pollina not run in the 2002 race. Pollina and Democrat Peter Shumlin split the left and handed Dubie the victory with just 41 percent of the popular vote. Shumlin finished second with 32 percent. Pollina got 25 percent.

Maybe they could do a repeat in the 2006 House race and send one very lucky Vermont Republican to Washington to take Bernie’s seat?

Chair Abbott, however, doesn’t buy it.

“Dubie got where he is,” she insisted, “because more Vermonters voted for him than anyone else. The Democrats,” she noted, “have the majority in the Vermont Senate and the House. I would hope they’d solve their problem by doing something about Instant Run-Off Voting.”

Ouch.

Obviously, the Progs are behind Bernie.

But will the Progressive Party run a U.S. House candidate next year if it means the Democratic Party runs a candidate for U.S. Senate?

“We’re not ruling anything out,” replied Abbott. She mentioned Pollina, along with Steve Hingtgen and Rep. David Zuckerman, as the party’s “bright young lights.”

“I ran for office once, too,” said Martha.

That would have been the 1974 governor’s race. Abbott got 5.4 percent as the Liberty Union candidate.

“You never know. I might do it again.”

Great.

So at the moment, folks, both the 2006 race for the U.S. House and the 2006 race INSIDE TRACK >> 18A

LITTLE DINERS AT THE MOMS FOR SAFE MILK BAKE SALE LAST WEEK IN MIDDLEBURY.

Vermonters to Hillary: Don’t Tread on Us Erstwhile cookie-baker Senator Hillary Clinton lost brownie points with Addison County moms for supporting a test burn of tires at International Paper in Ticonderoga, N.Y. Last Saturday, members of two Addison County citizen groups, Moms for Safe Milk and People for Less Pollution, held a bake sale on the Middlebury village green in an effort to stop International Paper from incinerating 72 tons of old car tires per day — a process critics charge would introduce dangerous levels of dioxins, heavy metals and other carcinogens into Vermont. More than 150 people hawked homemade cakes and pies — and raised $800 — ostensibly to assist the company in purchasing a $9 million pollution-control device known as an electrostatic precipitator.

In April, Clinton sent a letter to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), urging approval of IP’s application to conduct a two-week test burn in its paper-mill boiler. She noted that International Paper believes that burning tire-derived fuel (TDF) at the 80-year-old Ticonderoga plant will save the company $1.5 million in energy costs annually, and preserve some 700 jobs there.

“I know that some are concerned about the potential air quality impact of burning tires at the mill,” Clinton wrote. “I have been assured that the TDF trial would be conducted within all of the mill’s current permit limitations.”

Ben Davis, an environmental advocate with the Vermont Public Interest Research Group, lambasted Clinton for her assurances about the burn’s safety, calling them “totally irresponsible.”

Davis claims her letter to the DEC revealed “zero understanding of the process.”

In fact, Vermonters of all political stripes are dumbfounded by the New York Democrat’s decision to support a plan that is so potentially toxic — both environmentally and politically. Vermont’s entire congressional delegation and the editorial boards of most of the state’s newspapers have condemned the burn proposal. In March, five

Addison County towns passed resolutions expressing concerns about its potential impact on human health and the environment.

Just last week, Governor Jim Douglas wrote to Clinton to chastise her for downplaying Vermonters’ health concerns.

Douglas noted that IP hasn’t yet submitted a completed application to the DEC. Therefore, he said, “political leaders should not jump to [the] conclusion” that the burn can be done within the plant’s existing air-quality parameters.

Republicans across the lake have a different view. Four lawmakers — New York Congressmen John Sweeney and John McHugh, as well as State Senator Betty Little and Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward — have endorsed IP’s proposal.

So why would a Senate Democrat back the burn? Repeated phone calls seeking clarification from Clinton’s Washington, D.C., office were not returned. But political theories are already circulating.

For one, Clinton’s old Little Rock law firm represents International Paper, according to the legal database Martindale-Hubbell. And the Whitewater Development Corporation, the company at the heart of the ’90s political scandal that bore its name, once purchased several hundred acres of land from International Paper for $500,000.

Clinton might find herself in yet another North Country environmental battle, which has received virtually no media attention in Vermont. A cement plant in Ravena, New York, about 10 miles south of Albany, is seeking permission from the DEC to burn tires at its facility, too. Lafarge North America, the French-based owner of the Ravena plant, is the largest cement manufacturer in North America. The company recently applied for a permit to burn 4.8 million tires a year in its two cement kilns.

Although Hudson Valley environmentalists haven’t had an opportunity to weigh in on that permit application, they are closely watching its progress. The reason: Apparently, Lafarge hasn’t been a very eco-friendly neighbor.

Peter Jung is president of Friends of Hudson, a citizens group based in Hudson, N.Y. According to Jung, Friends of Hudson recently conducted a detailed analysis of Lafarge’s airquality reports to the DEC and found 483 “compliance deviations” since the company bought the plant in 2001. In its first year alone, according to Friends of Hudson, Lafarge was fined $276,000 by the DEC for “major permit violations.” As a result, Friends of Hudson fears that burning old tires there could create even more air-quality headaches.

Susan Falzon, Friends of Hudson’s deputy director, notes that incinerating tires runs contrary to New York’s scrap-tire management plan, which calls for finding more responsible ways to dispose of old treads.

Nevertheless, she fears that letting two industrial facilities burn tires in the North Country could be viewed by some as a quick fix to that state’s tire glut. “The truth is, New York, like almost every other state, is willing to take the easy way out,” Falzon says.

“Sometimes it’s easier to get someone to burn tires than to get someone to do something useful with them.”

For his part, Jung couldn’t say whether or not a DEC approval of the International Paper application in Ticonderoga would affect the Lafarge application in Ravena — they are two separate industries and use different incineration processes and pollution-control technologies. That said, however, “Lafarge would be delighted if Ticonderoga got their permit because that sort of opens the door and creates a precedent,” he says.

So far, Senator Clinton hasn’t taken a public stance on Lafarge’s tire-burn application. But a corporate spokesperson confirmed last week that she sat on the Lafarge Corporation’s board of directors between 1990 and 1992.

Should Clinton come out in support of that tire burn as well, enviros on both sides of Lake Champlain say they’ll be laying tracks to her front door.

<localmatters> In Udder News, UVM Spawns a GE Cow Can scientists design a better “Bossy?” It depends on how you view the use of biotechnology in agriculture.

Some dairy farmers welcome the idea of a milker made to resist a form of mastitis — a painful udder infection that is difficult to control with antibiotics. David Kerr, an assistant professor of animal sciences at UVM, developed the modified gene that enables cows to produce an enzyme, lysostaphin, which appears to ward off the infection. The modified gene was sent to collaborating researchers in Maryland, who inserted it into the embryos of Jersey cows. So far, five transgenic cows and one bull have been produced. All show significant resistance to the mastitis-causing bacteria.

Incidents of mastitis have grown apace with technological advances in the dairy industry; reportedly, the infection spreads from cow to cow through milking machines. According to a UVM press release, the disease costs dairy farmers about $2 billion a year in discarded milk, antibiotics, vet fees and other related expenses.

Thus far, milk from GE cows hasn’t been approved for human consumption. Whether Vermont’s dairy farmers and milk consumers embrace the idea of genetically altered cows remains to be seen.

They also found Bobbi Parker, the wife of an assistant warden at the prison, who claimed that Dial abducted her when he fled. She told authorities that she stayed with Dial the whole time out of fear for her family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was living under the impression if she ever tried to get away, I would get away, and I would make her regret it, particularly toward her family,â&#x20AC;?

What’s your pasta IQ?

Be smart

Coming out of Johnson, another young woman stood on the shoulder of the road with a thumb out. She wore a broad blue bandana and mocha corduroy overalls, replete with floral embroidery. Her beaming smile was irresistible on a day such as this, and I pulled over 20 feet beyond her. Though I drive this taxi for a living, I will occasionally pick up hitchhikers, particularly on the return trip of an out-of-town fare. I figure I’ve already made my money, so why not?

“Thanks,” the woman said, as she settled into the front seat. “I never caught a ride with a taxi before.”

“Glad to provide you with a novel experience,” I said. “Where ya headed?”

“I live up the Mountain Road towards Smugglers’, but you can just drop me in Jeff.”

“No, that’s fine — I’ll take you up to your home. I’m not in any rush today.”

“Awesome. Thanks, man — I’m totally grateful.”

“So, do you go to school up here?” I asked, taking her for a college student, maybe even high school.

“No, but thanks. I’m nearly 30.” I glanced over and could now see the maturity in her face, along with the still-youthful exuberance. “Me and my old man moved up here a few years ago when we had our baby, Luna. We had been traveling, concert to concert, when we landed in Burlington.

Vermont seemed like a friendly place to settle for a while.”

“You were following the various Deadrelated tours?”

“You got it,” she said with a big smile.

“I saw The Grateful Dead in 1971, believe it or not.” Lately, when I speak of

my early life experiences, the pertinent dates sound increasingly Paleolithic. “It was the Fillmore East, and you know who opened for them? B.B. King, of all people.

That was typical of Bill Graham, the concert promoter. He liked to mix and match great artists of various genres.”

“Oh, wow, that is awesome. Did you happen to be watching TV on New Year’s Eve? They were playing a great Dead show on public television. It might have been part of a fundraiser or something.”

“Nope, I was working, like I do every New Year’s Eve.” “Oh, it was great. I was with my daughter and some of her little friends. They’re all about 6 or 7, so cute. Luna was dancing around the living room with me. She knew all the songs from live shows when she was tiny!”

We reached the intersection of Route 108, and I took the left onto the access road. “So, how do you guys earn a living up here?”

“Well, for the first couple of years we worked minimum-wage jobs at the ski area.

Then we got into trading on eBay, and now we both get to stay home with Luna.

It’s a much better lifestyle.”

“No kidding?” I said. “What kind of stuff do you trade?”

“Mostly milk bottles and other antique glass ornaments. You can’t believe what collectors pay for these things. The coolest part is when you list an item and the bidding starts shooting up. That is, like, one awesome rush.”

We quickly passed through downtown Jeffersonville, and then the old waterwheel, followed by the covered bridge. I found myself wondering how this person would eat a chocolate-chip cookie. “Do you think you’re in Vermont to stay?” I asked.

“No, unfortunately not, ’cause we do love the place. It’s the friggin’ winters — they’re just too damn long and cold!”

Not the first time I heard that, I thought.

Vermont has a way of weeding out everyone except those who just, I guess, need to live here. This was a lovely woman, but life in the Green Mountains does come down to this at its most basic: If you can’t stand the cold, get out of the freezer.

“Here’s my place,” she said, pointing ahead towards a rambling, yellow farm house. Two cars sat in the driveway, neither of which appeared particularly roadworthy. “Yeah,” she continued as I pulled to a stop, “I guess we’ll be moving to a place where the weather suits our clothes.”

“I can dig it,” I said. “You know that’s a lyric from an even older song?”

“Really? No, I didn’t know that.”

“Yup — ‘Everybody’s Talkin’ at Me,’ circa 1968.” Yes sir, for trivia from the previous millennium, just ask Jernigan.

“Well, thanks so much again, man,” she said, smiling warmly one last time. Just before closing her door she added, “Have a grateful day.” 쩾

he ride to Johnson State College couldn’t have been more beautiful. On fares out that way, I always bypass Route 15 from Underhill to Cambridge via the Pleasant Valley Road. Not that Route 15 is an unpleasant valley road, but the placid back road is everything you desire on a sundrenched spring afternoon, when it feels as if all the world is blossoming. With the windows half-cracked, the smell of the awakening earth was intoxicating. Perhaps — just maybe — winter was truly over.

The college freshman who sat beside me seemed mousy at first, but as the miles went by, she opened up and spoke about her life. It turned out that the young woman was an English major with a penchant for creative writing. She gave me an oral summary of her most recent essay, in which she explains that the way a person lives life is directly related to how he or she goes about eating a chocolate-chip cookie. I told her that, as a guide to personality, her idea seemed at least as cogent as astrology.

Then, dropping her in front of her dorm, I headed back to Burlington.

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

14A

Dear Cecil, We have friends who insist they won’t eat microwavecooked items and refuse to own a microwave oven, claiming it has deleterious effects on the nutritional value of food. I chuckle over their sensitivity — seems most restaurants today serve many items that are cooked rapidly using microwaves, so I’ll bet our friends eat some of these foods unknowingly. My wife, however, is becoming alarmed over their queer beliefs. Please give her peace of mind. Are our friends’ fears groundless, or am I the goat on this one?

Norm, via email Probably your friends are getting worked up over nothing, but this is one subject where you want to resist sweeping pronouncements. On its face, antimicrowave propaganda (you’ll find loads of it on the Web) is none too persuasive — some of these people have yet to comprehend the crucial distinction between ionizing and nonionizing radiation. (Ionizing radiation is the nuclear, i.e., dangerous, kind, which includes X rays, gamma rays, etc.; nonionizing is everything else, e.g., microwaves, not to mention light.) When you dig into the research, though, you realize the controversy isn’t all hooey. On the contrary, what we’ve got here is one of the great coalmine fires of science — an argument that, in this case, has been smoldering for 50 years without resolution. Unexpected recent developments, though, make me think we may get to the bottom of this pup yet.

The central issue is whether there’s such a thing as a “microwave effect” — that is, whether microwaves do anything that conventional heating methods don’t. The main way microwaves heat up a plate of leftovers is by causing the food molecules to vibrate — an accelerated version of what ordinary cooking does. The microwave effect, if it exists, is more mysterious and potentially a lot scarier. For example, some conjecture that certain frequencies of microwave radiation can resonate with food, body tissues, and whatnot.

Just as a low-power radio wave reaching a tuned-in boom box can rattle windows, a seemingly innocuous

beam of microwave energy striking a harmonically attuned target may have disruptive effects. Microwave ovens aren’t the only or necessarily the most urgent cause for alarm, either. Another significant source of microwaves, admittedly of a different frequency, is the ubiquitous cell phone, which people hold for extended periods to their ears, only a few centimeters from their brains.

The mainstream response to fear of microwaves is generally: You’re on crack. For years the common view among scientists has been that the microwave effect is a myth and that whatever happens in a microwave oven happens because stuff gets hot. But disquieting indications to the contrary persistently come to light. For instance, in a paper often cited by microwave foes, doctors at Stanford University (Quan et al., 1992) reported that microwaving frozen breast milk sharply reduced the potency of the natural infection-fighting agents it contained. “The adverse effects . . . are difficult to explain on the basis of hyperthermia [high heat] alone,” they wrote.

Yeah, sure, whatever. But now that attitude may be shifting, in part because of that unexpected development I was telling you about: microwave ovens’ finding their way out of the kitchen and into the laboratory. Scientists had long used microwave ovens to heat up their coffee just like everybody else, but in the late 1980s they came to a startling realization: The ovens could greatly accelerate useful chemical reactions, sometimes by a factor of a thousand. Processes that once took hours, days, or months could be completed in minutes, often without the toxic solvents previously required.

Initially researchers used consumer-model ovens they bought at the appliance store, but soon realized what chicken potpie lovers had known for years, namely that an ordinary microwave oven is not a precision instrument and often gives unpredictable results. With burgeoning interest in “microwave chemistry” came a push to improve microwave hardware; meanwhile a few big heads conceded that maybe it was time to inquire more deeply into how these things actually worked. The matter has yet to be fully elucidated, but already some think the microwave effect may not be a myth after all: “One suggestion,” a bunch of chemists wrote recently, “is that this is some form of ‘ponderomotive’ driving force that arises when high frequency electric fields modulate ionic currents near interfaces with abrupt differences in ion mobility.”

You’ll excuse me if I don’t translate. My point is, a lot more people who can say “ponderomotive” without blinking are now burning up the dendrites trying to figure out what microwaves do, a necessary first step in determining whether that’s good or bad for those of us less interested in ionic currents than lunch. Granted, none of this resolves your question, mainly because we still don’t have enough info to answer it with anything other than paranoid speculation or empty reassurance.

But at least there’s a prospect that someday we will.

THE OTHER TV GUIDE

The Last Days of the First Amendment?

I

n last month’s column I wrote about the Michael Jackson trial reenactments that have been airing on E!. I commented that some of the testimony has been so graphic, I was surprised the FCC hadn’t started sticking the network with the kinds of fines it’s so fond of heaping on Howard Stern. My remarks prompted a response from local filmmaker, free-speech advocate and all-around media fixture Bill Simmon.

Simmon, who also sits on the board of Vermont Community Access Media, got in touch to clarify the FCC’s role with regard to broadcast vs. cable or

If we allow arbiters of decency to police our TV and satellite communications, what’s next?

Cellphone calls? Email? satellite programming, and to direct my attention to a movement currently underway to radically amplify the agency’s censorship powers. His insights were so illuminating — and, in some cases, alarming — that I decided to expand the communication into a full-length interview.

SEVEN DAYS: You pointed out that the FCC couldn’t fine E! for indecency even if it wanted to, because cable networks are protected by freedom-of-speech provisions in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. [Whereas broadcast television and radio aren’t, since they’re transmitted over the “public airwaves.”] The last time I checked, Ben Franklin didn’t invent cable TV. What sorts of provisions could the Founding Fathers have made?

BILL SIMMON: The Constitution was intentionally designed to be a fluid, living document that could cover situations they couldn’t have predicted.

Interestingly, the FFs argued about whether there even needed to be a Bill of Rights at all. Alexander Hamilton, at least, thought that the country didn’t even need a guaranteed freedom-of-speech provision, in particular, because the federal government should have no right to abridge it anyway.

SD: If cable content isn’t subject to indecency standards, why isn’t there nudity and graphic content all over the dial? Wouldn’t you think a network like Spike, which wants to attract young males, would boost viewership with a 24/7 fleshfest?

BS: Cable channels like Spike and Comedy Central self-censor for a variety of reasons. Corporate pressure can be a factor. Commercial cable TV is also beholden to the needs and desires of advertisers. I

FREE SPEECH WEBSITES The First Amendment Center: http//www.firstamendmentcenter.org The ACLU: http://www.aclu.org The Center for Digital Democracy: http://www.democraticmedia.org Take the Freedom of Speech Quiz: http://www.pbs.org/now/quiz/quiz.html Find out more about Bill Simmon at http://www.candleboy.com, and about Congressman Sanders’ bill at http://www.bernie.house.gov.

“Tubefed” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Rick Kisonak, email kisonak@sevendaysvt.com.

BILL SIMMON imagine most shampoo companies would rather not be associated with particularly extreme content.

Finally, there are nongovernmental citizen watchdog groups that write lots of letters to TV channels and their corporate owners and advertisers telling them when they are crossing the line. The fact that Spike TV doesn’t have hardcore pornography on 24/7 is a testament to society’s ability to police itself without government intervention.

SD: Another thing you brought to my attention is that several members of Congress, including Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) and Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), in addition to Kevin Martin, the new chair of the FCC, want to change the rules and begin imposing indecency sanctions against cable and satellite outlets. When did the movement to extend the FCC’s reach begin?

BS: I think the first place I remember this coming up in a serious way was in the 1996 Telecommunications Act, which included the Communications Decency Act. Things quieted down after that for a spell, until that fateful January afternoon when Janet Jackson had her “wardrobe malfunction.” Since then, conservatives and prudes have been on a witch hunt, and things are really starting to heat up now.

People disagree on what is offensive television. I happen to think that religious programming that teaches that evolution is not true is both offensive and dangerous for children to see, but I do not support any legislation that limits that content from the airwaves. Why? Because I know how to operate a remote control, and I know how to use my cable box to block inappropriate content so my kids won’t see it. I will not make the choice for someone else, and I don’t want anyone making those choices for me.

SD: Why do you think there isn’t greater coverage of this movement in the media?

BS: Great question!

SD: How much, in your opinion, does all this have to do with Howard Stern and a conspiracy to put him out of business?

BS: This isn’t about Stern. It’s about conservative Christians wanting to impose their will on our culture. Stern is standing up to them and that’s good, but we need middle America to get in on this fight.

I think that when people realize Tony Soprano can’t say “fuck” anymore without a bleep, they’ll pay more attention. Though it may be too late by then.

If we allow arbiters of decency to police our TV

and satellite communications, what’s next?

Cellphone calls? Email? Who gets policed? Stern gets fined and Oprah doesn’t for talking about the same stuff as it is now. Will Jon Stewart be watched more closely by the content police than Dennis Miller? Can anyone say “slippery slope”?

SD: What do you know about Stevens, Barton and Martin? How do they justify attempts to bypass the Constitution?

BS: The justification seems to be rather schizophrenic. Stevens has said, “There has to be some standard of decency,” and “No one wants censorship,” in the same breath. I’m not sure he understands what “censorship” means.

SD: In an interesting twist, Vermont turns out to be ground zero in the whole debate.

Bernie Sanders was a guest on Stern’s show on April 15 and informed listeners that he’s introduced a bill — HR 1440 — to stop the FCC and the movement to expand its powers.

He claims to have the support of at least 10 other members of Congress. Do you think he stands a chance against the right-wing machine?

BS: I think the bill is great, and God bless Bernie for standing up to these guys. Does he stand a chance? The censorship lines won’t necessarily be drawn along party lines, so, yes, the bill has a chance. What’s more likely is that neither Bernie’s bill nor the one being proposed by Stevens will pass. Let’s hope.

SD: Where can people get more information on how to protect their free-speech rights?

BS: Aha! I’m glad you asked [See sidebar].

In terms of protecting your own constitutional rights, it’s like anything else. Get involved — write letters to your congressional delegation, get your voice heard, vote for candidates who pay more than lip service to our basic civil liberties. We mustn’t continue to let 9/11 be used as an excuse to limit our rights. I know it’s cliché now to say it, but if we let our rights become curtailed out of fear, the terrorists really have succeeded.

SD: Which futuristic classic do you feel as though you’re living in more — Fahrenheit 451 or 1984?

BS: There have been some 1984-ish things going on lately, like the marketing of the Iraq war and of the President’s environmental policies. But Huxley is the true visionary. I would say Brave New World is closest to the mark. Or Terry Gilliam’s Brazil. m

for the U.S. Senate could well be three-way affairs.

As GOP State Chairman Jim Barnett put it this week, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both seats are eminently winnable for Republicans.â&#x20AC;?

Obviously, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Independent Rep. Bernie Sandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best interests to get the Democrats and the Progs to smoke some sort of peace pipe. At the moment, however, nobody can find the matches.

In fact, Vermont Democratic Party Chairman Peter Mallary made it perfectly clear to Seven Days that kind words from both Howard Dean and Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid about a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sanders for Senateâ&#x20AC;? run were just that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; kind words and not endorsements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think you need to be careful,â&#x20AC;? said Mallary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall any official statements from the DNC or from Howard saying that he supported Sanders. I think he, like all people, knows that Bernie is a very strong candidate. At this point there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a politician in the state of Vermont who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to be in the race for the U.S. Senate. At the moment, with Jim Douglas out of the race, the largest dog in that particular fight is Bernie Sanders,â&#x20AC;? conceded Chairman Peter, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but at this point the conversations are flying fast and furious in every direction.â&#x20AC;?

Yes, they certainly are.

So far, at least two Democrats, Attorney General Bill Sorrell and former Lite-Gov Doug Racine, are considering a shot at Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open U.S. Senate seat.

We mentioned Sorrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest last week. This week we contacted Racine, the man who made Jim Douglas governor in 2002 by running such an excitement-free, wishy-washy campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to be in the U.S. Senate,â&#x20AC;? Racine told Seven Days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With Jim Douglas out of the picture,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to at least think about it.â&#x20AC;?

Until Jeffordsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; blockbuster retirement announcement last month, Racine told us heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been thinking in terms of getting back in the game as a candidate for Chittenden County state senator.

Speculating on the possibility of Dubie jumping in the Senate race to take on Bernie, Racine wondered aloud, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there a vast middle out there? And where would pro-choice Republicans go?â&#x20AC;?

Interesting.

Across the aisle, the snapshot of the moment shows at least two credible Republicans eyeing the U.S. Senate race. IDX gazillionaire Ritchie Tarrant had earlier said he would step aside only if Jim Douglas wanted a shot. With Douglas taking a pass, Tarrant is all but officially in.

And Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie inserted himself into the 2006 U.S. Senate frame by crashing Gov. Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; announcement in UVMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dewey Lounge on Saturday. Douglas aides say Dubieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence at the event had not been sought.

Doobie-Doo sat in the back with a few of his kids as Gov. Scissorhands officially removed himself from U.S. Senate consideration. Immediately afterwards,

Dubie was conveniently available for reportersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; questions. It was a masterful act of political showstealing. The front-page stories the following day were all about Dubieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in the U.S. Senate.

Brian the Jet Pilot was only too happy to tell reporters that â&#x20AC;&#x153;folks in the White Houseâ&#x20AC;? had expressed an interest in a possible Dubie for Senate candidacy. The Doobster has made it pretty clear heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had enough of being LiteGov â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you recall he was interviewing with the Bush administration for an ambassador-level appointment within weeks of his November reelection. So the U.S. Senate is a logical target for a politician who just got 57 percent of the vote. And Doobie-Doo got 57 percent running against two of Bernieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disciples: Cheryl Rivers (D) and Steve Hingtgen (P).

Interesting, eh?

Meanwhile, Tarrant, the IDX millionaire with the old St. Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jump shot, sounds like his pump is primed. He told Seven Days a campaign announcement wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely come until midsummer, but everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pointing toward a run now that Gov. Douglas has bowed out.

As for Dubieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sudden U.S. Senate interest, Tarrant said he had not talked to the Lt. Gov. in a while, but made it clear he will not drop out if Dubie drops in.

Tarrant also made it clear he thinks he can win against Olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bernardo, whether the Ds take a pass or not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an open seat,â&#x20AC;? explained Tarrant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like when I was thinking about running against Pat Leahy, where you have to throw out an incumbent. When itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an open seat, people will take a new look. They wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t automatically assume the incumbent is better, because technically [Sanders] is not an incumbent.â&#x20AC;?

Whatever you say, Ritchie. But how will you handle the 1000pound weight around your neck called â&#x20AC;&#x153;George W. Bush?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really not running yet,â&#x20AC;? replied Jump Shot, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get into those kinds of political things. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a politician. Yes, I am a Republican. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a businessman that thinks they have some ideas about how they could make things better in certain areas. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll focus on what I know and what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m good at.â&#x20AC;?

Ah, yes, another Vermont Republican politician who wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the name of George W. Bush pass through his lips. Smart. After all, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a strategy that has worked well for Gov. Scissorhands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re putting together a budget now,â&#x20AC;? said Tarrant, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure how much Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to self-fund yet and how much Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard all kinds of numbers. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hearing this is going to be a very expensive race from all the people around the country who are supposed to know about these things.â&#x20AC;?

Yes, indeed, folks. The Lusty Month of May and the 2006 political games, are well underway.

SEVEN DAYS | may 04-11, 2005

Castro Retiring? — We’re unable to get confirmation from our Havana sources, but rumors are flying that Fidel Castro’s days are numbered. That’s because U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords and his wife have spent the last five days in Cuba, attending May Day festivities and meeting with Cuban higher-ups.

Now that Jeezum Jim has announced he will be retiring after his term ends, the unconfirmed story goes that the CIA sent Jeffords to Cuba to convince Fidel to do the same thing.

Just joking.

The trip to Cuba is for real.

Jeffords did have meetings scheduled with Cuban government officials, but, as of Tuesday, he had not met with Fidel. Yet. Jeezum’s due back Wednesday evening.

Ironic, Eh? — There’s probably no citizens activist organization Gov. Jim Douglas despises more than the Conservation Law Foundation. In his view, CLF is an out-of-state extremist group.

Many others view CLF as an effective advocate for environmental laws, some of which Gov. Douglas’ administration has been caught breaking.

So it was quite ironic last week to see the Douglas administration’s Agency of Transportation Secretary Dawn Terrill accepting the 2004 Public Space Honor Award for its “integrated approach” to rebuilding 3.7 miles of Route 9 along the Deerfield River between Searsburg and Wilmington.

The irony is that the design chosen by AOT was not the one the agency originally proposed.

AOT originally wanted to reroute the Deerfield River!

But local residents and environmentalists spoke up, and CLF stepped in with its expertise. The resulting design is a direct result of CLF’s efforts. But CLF doesn’t get the praise — Douglas’ transportation agency does.

“It’s ironic, said CLF attorney Sandy Levine, that they receive an award for a design change that came about because of the work of CLF. Go figure.

This Just In — The Douglas administration has bounced Burlington’s CCTV/Channel 17 from the job of taping Gov. Douglas’ weekly press conferences and is awarding the contract to a new firm.

Press Secretary Jason Gibbs, who decided to put the job out to bid for the first time, says Peak Productions of Brattleboro was the low bidder at $300 per presser.

CCTV, which has been shooting the Guv’s weekly since the early Howard Dean days, was the second lowest bidder at $505.

“We had a good relationship with CCTV,” said Jason. m “Inside Track” is a weekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

the event, entitled “Remote Control or Self Control: Staying Healthy in a Media Culture.”

Students, educators, activists and health-care providers are invited to attend. Kilbourne, who lives in Massachusetts, spoke with Seven Days via cellphone during a recent trip to Seattle.

SEVEN DAYS: Which of your catalogue of lectures will you be presenting at the ACME conference?

JEAN KILBOURNE: I’m going to be doing “Deadly Persuasion,” which is a little bit of everything. There’s a section on alcohol, a section on tobacco, a section on the image of women and the obsession with thinness. It’s kind of a crash course in media literacy as prevention of substance abuse.

SD: You’ve been talking about this stuff since the 1970s, and it just seems like the portrayal of women in our culture has only gotten cruder.

JK: It’s true. I often joke that I’ve been doing this work for 30 years and everything’s gotten worse.

SD: Has anything changed?

JK: Well, here’s what’s changed — the image of women is worse than ever before. The encroachment of advertising on our lives is worse than ever before. The marketing mentality of the culture is worse than ever before.

But when I started 30 years ago, I was really alone, essentially, and what I was saying was considered quite radical. And now there are many, many organizations and resources and people involved in this work.

What I’m saying is more mainstream. There’s more of a real groundswell of opposition to the marketing mentality. We have a long way to go, but that’s a big change.

And the most heartening thing that’s happened has been what’s happened with the tobacco industry. Which is not to say that the tobacco industry isn’t

still extremely powerful — it is — but it’s been unmasked to a great extent in this country.

About 10 or 15 years ago, there was a huge shift in public health, in shifting from a focus on the individual to a focus on the environment. So instead of focusing on the individual smoker, we shifted the focus to the tobacco industry, to the advertising, to the availability of cigarettes, to the environment in which somebody makes a decision whether or not to smoke.

And that’s been a shift across the board in public health, not just with tobacco. And it’s made all the difference in the world.

Because the industries want to keep it focused on the individual. As long as we do that, they don’t have to change. But once we focus on the environment, then we start talking >> 22A

SD: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written that the average American sees 3000 advertisements a day. Which ads stand out in your mind as the most harmful?

JK: Oh, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to say. There are so many. But I guess if I had to choose one thing, it would be the increased sexualization of little girls. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of any one campaign, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just been so much of that across the board, where little girls â&#x20AC;&#x201D; very little girls â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are just being encouraged to dress sexy, act sexy, wear makeup, act like little teenagers . . .

Girls have gotten this message for a long time, but it used to start when they were about 15, and now it starts when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about 6. And teenage girls, of course, are extremely hypersexualized, too. I think that has just terrible effects on the children themselves, and also on the culture . . .

But it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so much individual ads as it is the cumulative impact of advertising. For example, one ad features a very thin model, so what? But the fact that they all do has a real impact on what people see as the ideal female body. The same thing with a perfect face.

One perfect face in a cosmetic ad, big deal. But when there are thousands of them, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all we ever see, that has a huge impact. In many ways, I shy away from saying itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a particular advertiser or a particular agency. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rather the cumulative impact of all these images.

Because, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say Calvin Klein does something outrageous, which he does every couple of years. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole lot of coverage, which actually improves his sales, and people get upset about it. In the long run, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that does as much harm as the perfect face seen over and over and over again.

SD: Typically itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liberal groups who endorse media literacy, and conservatives who complain about indecency. Have you had any success working with conservatives?

JK: In some ways. They are strange bedfellows. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re concerned about blatant sexual images in the media, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re concerned about violence in the media, and so am I. But we would differ, a lot, about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pornographic.

And we probably would also differ about the remedy.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not in favor of any kind of censorship. I think they are.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in favor of very honest, accurate sex education. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not. There are all sorts of ways

SD: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your solution to fighting this problem?

JK: One of the main things I do is encourage people to fight to get media literacy into our schools. The United States is one of the only developed nations in the world that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t teach media literacy in the schools. I think if we did, that would go a long way toward solving this problem. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really after an educational remedy rather than a legislative one.

Although I also urge people to support bills that would either restrict or limit, or even eliminate advertising aimed at children. The EU is considering a bill that would ban all advertising aimed at children, and I would certainly love to see that.

I would support a ban on tobacco advertising. And I

JK: Oh, sure. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way not to be. Of course, when I talk about its influence, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so much whether it influences us to buy products or not. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to measure, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not my biggest concern. My biggest concern is, what does advertising sell other than products? What kinds of attitudes, what kinds of images does it sell?

Everybody does. And I think that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just impossible not to look in the mirror and have a critical voice thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judging you according to these images that have surrounded us all our lives.

You can fight it and resist it and try to silence that critical voice, but I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty impossible to mute it entirely.

n a dimly lit stage, Suzanne Rood sings a love song. “When I’m afraid,” she croons in a sweet, plaintive voice, “I climb into your arms and you hold me.” Rood’s not singing to her husband, Rich. She’s got another STORY man in mind, a man symbolized by the CATHY giant wooden cross hanging on the wall RESMER behind her, topped with a crown of large, pointy thorns. She’s singing to Jesus Christ.

IMAGES Rood — whose last name, coincidenMATTHEW tally, comes from an Old English word for THORSEN “cross” — is one of eight musicians in the Panton-based Christian rock band Clean Slate. As in, give yourself to Jesus, he’ll give you a clean slate.

The band members all have a personal relationship with JC. They want me to meet him, too, or so they sing on a recent Saturday night at the Wesleyan Chapel in Ferrisburgh. The show is a benefit concert for their booking manager, who’s headed to a mission in Zimbabwe. They hope that I, along with the other 30 people in the audience, will accept Jesus as my savior — if not tonight, then at least before Judgment Day.

Actually, I’m probably the only one here who isn’t tight with him already. This all-ages audience is probably not much different from the congregation that comes here on Sundays. I was raised Catholic, but stopped going to Mass after I came out as a lesbian. Not that going to Mass would have saved me — these folks think Roman Catholics, homosexuals, Jews and Muslims are all in the same damned boat. Was it some kind of sign that, as I pulled into the parking lot, REM’s “Losing My Religion” was playing on the car radio?

These evangelicals and I disagree on a wide variety of theological and practical concerns — such as whether it’s a good thing that the state of Vermont has sanctioned my civil union with another woman. Yet as the evening goes on, I find that I’m enjoying the show. Even fire and brimstone are difficult to resist when you put them in a pop song.

And that’s sorta the point. Christian musicians figured that out years ago.

MEET might be surprised to find yourself singing along with contemporary Christian songs you hear on the radio — bands such as Creed, Evanescence and Switchfoot have all had recent hits on the Billboard Top 40.

But Clean Slate is no Switchfoot. For one thing, their lyrics are more explicitly

Darwin smiles and sings about how he’ll be leaving soon. “Byebye, I gotta fly, got a date up in the sky . . .

One day we’ll hear that sound” — cue Marge Huff on trumpet — “and we’ll be lifted off the ground.”

Christian. In “Meant to Live,” Switchfoot asks, cryptically, “We were meant to live for so much more / Have we lost ourselves?” Clean Slate’s “Solid Rock” is more direct: “On Christ the solid rock I stand / all other ground is sinking sand.”

And these down-to-earth moms and pops all have day jobs — frontman Gordon Dobson, for example, is the branch manager of a bank; trumpet/cornet/recorder player Marge Huff spends her days homeschooling her six kids.

They’re not in the music biz because they want to be rich and famous. They gig because they love to play music, and because they want to convert their listeners. Christianity isn’t just the band’s official religion; it’s their raison d’être.

“We allow ourselves to be used by God,” explains Dobson during an intermission interview. Although he’s not related to Focus on the Family >> 27A

Clean Slateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oeuvre, the song is about death. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m clearly the only one in the room troubled by the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fascination with the Rapture. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when evangelicals believe God will spirit all the Christians off to heaven and leave the rest of us nonbelievers to rot here in agony on Earth. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the basis for the popular Christian â&#x20AC;&#x153;Left Behindâ&#x20AC;? book series.

Bassist Keith Darwin sings lead vocals on a particularly eerie tune about the End Time.

Yes, his name is Darwin. No, the band doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in evolution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tease him about it all the time,â&#x20AC;? Dobson quips during intermission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someday thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna be a shout, and a trumpet blast, and

thing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do over there,â&#x20AC;? he tells her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be taking people to our leader.â&#x20AC;?

Smith puts a different spin on the two-and-a-half-week trip when she gets up to talk about it before intermission. A divorced thirtysomething woman who works as a systems administrator at Middlebury College, Smith seems as grounded in her faith as the rest of them, but less strident about it. She asks the audience to please contribute to her travel fund. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be taking food, medicine, clothing and toys to the children at the mission, many of whom are dying of AIDS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They really have a tremendous need,â&#x20AC;? she says.

I may be headed to H-E-double hockey sticks, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be humming that little ditty as I go.

founder James Dobson â&#x20AC;&#x201D; leader of the fight against â&#x20AC;&#x153;activistâ&#x20AC;? gay-rights-granting judges â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he seems pleased when I make the connection.

Dobson says the band met in choir at the Panton Community Baptist Church in 1999. After a couple of years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a mission trip to Wales â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Clean Slate morphed into a separate group. Now they write and perform their own material, and cover popular songs by other contemporary born-againChristian groups. They have a website â&#x20AC;&#x201D; http://www.cleanslatemusic.com â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a slick new CD, Polystyrene Beaker.

sounds a little bit country, like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clean Slate,â&#x20AC;? the anthem Rood wrote about redemption. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just like a child I wanted to do things my own wayâ&#x20AC;? she recalls in a sassy, twangy voice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Authority wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something I wanted to obey.â&#x20AC;?

But, of course, she learns her lesson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He gave me a clean slate / when I confessed my sins / He gave me a clean slate / now I belong to him.â&#x20AC;? Honestly, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help thinking itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pity.

The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most electrifying number is actually a cover of â&#x20AC;&#x153;DC-10,â&#x20AC;? a Christian swing song by a band of the same name. As he belts out the lyrics to this irresistibly upbeat number, Dobson bops around the stage like the lead singer of the Squirrel Nut Zippers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a DC-10 ever fell on your head,â&#x20AC;? he sings, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lying on the ground all messy and dead / Or a Mack truck run over you / Or you suddenly die in your Sunday pew / Do you know where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna go? . . .

Straight to heaven or down the hole?â&#x20AC;?

I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop tapping my feet.

I want to jump around up there myself, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no mosh pit.

I can tell the rest of the audience is into it, though. The gray-haired women in front of me are all nodding their heads.

Yep, I may be headed to H-Edouble hockey sticks, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be humming that little ditty as I go.

The only thing that unnerves me about it is that, like much of

weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be gone,â&#x20AC;? Darwin promises as he introduces the song. The crowd responds with a spontaneous â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amen.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tell you, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Then he smiles and sings about how heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be leaving soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bye-bye, I gotta fly, got a date up in the sky . . . One day weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hear that soundâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; cue Marge Huff on trumpet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be lifted off the ground.â&#x20AC;?

It ends with the band members encouraging the audience to wave their arms in the air and sing, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bye-bye, hey, byebye,â&#x20AC;? so that everyone is waving goodbye but me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only time in the whole show when I feel profoundly uncomfortable.

Not because I fear being left behind, but because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them to be so excited to leave. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kinda creepy. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not eager to leave this life, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m inherently suspicious of anyone who is.

I find the unfortunately catchy song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take Them to Our Leaderâ&#x20AC;? equally icky. Dobson prefaces the number, written by a group called The Newsboys, by dedicating it to Marcella Smith, the woman whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to the mission in Africa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This song is about the main thing you do every day, and the main

And somehow, when Smith talks about death, it seems real for the first time that night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to prepare for seeing people who are dying,â&#x20AC;? she says, her voice full of genuine doubt. The chapel grows silent. In Zimbabwe, she tells us, one out of every two children under 15 will die of AIDS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we look up at these kids in the balcony,â&#x20AC;? she says, pointing to the children who just a few moments ago were dancing, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine half of them not making it to 15.â&#x20AC;?

The magnitude of that suffering eclipses whatever differences I have with the people sitting around me. I instantly feel how much we have in common.

During intermission, I toss a $5 bill into the collection. I know Smith will be using the money to win converts, but making a contribution seems like the right thing to do.

I stay for a few more songs, then duck out before the concertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dark. The brick chapel appears bathed in light.

The music escaping into the night fills me with a sense of happiness and peace. Maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear the words. m

Opportunity Knocks A Burlington credit union banks on low-income borrowers’ success

We developed a better understanding of why people turn to predatory lending, which only saps wealth and creates poverty.

Under this innovative approach, loan applicants with bad or nonexistent credit ratings are painstakingly prepped to achieve modest financial success.

deposits from hundreds of work-a-day wage earners.

Winston Lacasse, 48, was homeless 12 years ago when a social worker told him about Opportunities Credit Union — then called the Vermont Development Credit Union. His shoulder had been crushed in an accident on a Colchester dairy farm, and Lacasse was able to work only sporadically at minimum-wage jobs. A counselor at the credit union eventually persuaded him that he would be able to repay the $5000 mortgage Opportunities offered to purchase the mint-green mobile home on Burlington’s North Avenue where he now lives.

“I was reluctant to do it because I’d never owed that much money before,” Lacasse says. “I did owe the hospital $3000 once for frostbite treatments, and it took me seven years to pay that off.”

Today, Lacasse is thinking about applying for another home loan from Opportunities so he can move to a quieter neighborhood and enjoy a bigger back yard. “I’ve almost paid off the mortgage, so maybe I can find something nicer,” he says.

Ian Rhein has a bullet lodged in his back and cannot work in the heat-

ing-ventilation-air conditioning trade for which he was trained. Two years ago, the disabled U.S. Navy and Army veteran moved with his wife and two young sons from a ramshackle 150-year-old house in downtown Waterbury to the Thatcher Pines trailer park about three miles away. One week after settling in there, Rhein says, his family received a notice that the park owner intended to sell, leaving the 14 households of Thatcher Pines one year to find new places to live.

Opportunities Credit Union, meanwhile, had received a grant to develop a Vermont version of a financing formula that has enabled residents of 70 mobile-home parks in New Hampshire to buy the properties. “We were maybe a year away from implementing it here when Thatcher Pines happened,” says Stewart.

A mad scramble ensued. The trailer park’s owner had stipulated that he would sell to a private developer unless all the Thatcher Pines households agreed to purchase the land on which their homes sit. That required Opportunities to arrange mortgages for several of the residents in just a few months — and some of them had poor credit histories.

“You can imagine the frenzy of families with children, all of them clamoring at once,” Rhein recounts.

“You can imagine the pressures on the credit union.”

In the end, Thatcher Pines was purchased by all its residents, with Opportunities providing more than half a million dollars in financing to eight households, including Rhein’s.

“They did an amazing thing,” he says.

Rhein is happy living on the twoacre plot he bought for about $60,000. In fact, he’s considering replacing his mobile home with a newly built house.

Anastasia Terechin moved to the village of Waterbury six years ago, from Russia by way of Brooklyn.

She had gone through a divorce and lost a family business, and was living on welfare when she found Opportunities. The credit union gave Terechin a $3000 loan to buy a used Thunderbird so she could drive to natural-food stores around the state, dishing out samples of the Russian delicacies she hoped to make the basis of a new family business.

Opportunities also approved Terechin for a business loan and a personal loan as her enterprise began to grow. “I had no credit history and

I was on welfare, but the credit union gave me a start,” she says. Today, Terechin’s company, called A Taste of Russia, has a half-dozen full-time employees and sells its foods to three supermarket chains, as well as to stores in immigrant neighborhoods in the New York City area.

Opportunities Credit Union isn’t really a community-action agency, and Stewart insists that it does not do social work. But as its 13,500 members in 210 Vermont towns can attest, Opportunities does do socially beneficial work in numerous communities.

The credit union’s stated mission — “to create wealth among low-income people” — is being fulfilled on a daily basis even as it earns money for its depositors and complies with federal financial safeguards.

Established in 1989 with a $20,000 grant from the Burlington Ecumenical Action Ministry, Opportunities now ranks as a $37 million institution that has made a total of $140 million in loans. Few big-time banks can boast a repayment rate higher than the 99.5 percent Opportunities reports. These achievements were acknowledged in February when Opportunities won

the highest honor awarded by the national credit-union movement.

The name change to Opportunities earlier this year was intended to signify the credit union’s ambition to situate its services within a one-hour drive of everyone in the state who needs them. At present, Opportunities maintains a financialservices and administrative office on Pearl Street and a teller location at the corner of North St. and North Ave., both in Burlington.

Opportunities started small and grew smart. The financial counseling service at the core of its operations grew out of a research project the credit union undertook a year after it opened its doors; the study revealed that the nonprofit was shutting out half the people who came to it seeking loans.

Through focus groups and a review of scores of rejected loan applications, the credit union realized the inadequacy of existing consumer financial-education methods. “We also developed a better understanding of why people turn to predatory lending, which only saps wealth and creates poverty,” Stewart says.

Along with the counseling-based system came the corollary principle of “treating every potential client with respect as an individual,” Stewart explains. Opportunities’ determination to tear down barriers to bankability is expressed in the slogan, “We don’t say no; we say when.”

Financially marginalized Vermonters who dream of buying a car or a home typically make their way to Opportunities through word of mouth, says home-ownership manager Lynn Roberts. Such a person probably doesn’t have a credit card or health insurance, she notes. Lack of health coverage is often significant, Roberts says, because the only entry in this individual’s credit record may well be a medical collection account.

Poor and uninsured Vermonters who receive hospital treatment will often rack up debts that wreck their credit rating; that was the case with Winston Lacasse.

Unlike a bank that follows a computerized formula, Opportunities may choose to look past such a shortcoming and approve a loan for someone it judges to be otherwise financially viable and stable, Roberts says.

The applicant’s attitude is at least as important as his or her assets or credit rating, she adds. “Everything depends on the motivation of the person who

walks in. It all comes down to whether someone wants to be successful,” says Roberts, who has done counseling work at the credit union for the past 10 years.

Individual financial performance is less encouraging among the 50 percent of loan applicants to whom Opportunities says “when.” In these cases of deferred loan approval, the credit union tries to build a positive financial record week-by-week, month-by-month, year-by-year. The process begins by devising an action plan intended to give access to the financial mechanisms available to most Vermonters.

Every action plan includes education in the basics of budgeting. In addition, a counseling client will often be awarded a small “tracker loan.” Through this transaction, someone who doesn’t qualify for a regular loan is lent, say, $500 in installments, and is required to deposit equivalent sums in a savings account. The loan gets paid back — and a positive credit rating gets constructed — over the course of a year or more.

Approving a tracker loan is “a nobrainer for us,” Roberts says. The credit union isn’t risking much, and the loan recipient may be gaining a lot. The modest financial victories that can result from tracker loans can nevertheless be enormously important, psychologically. For the process to work, however, a client needs to remain committed and patient, Roberts emphasizes. Some inexperienced borrowers take out two or three tracker loans before a positive outcome is achieved, she notes.

Despite all this personal attention and encouragement, the success rate is not very high for individuals who fall into the “when” category. Poverty can often prove self-perpetuating, as Opportunities’ experience illustrates.

Roberts estimates that success occurs in only about one-quarter of the credit union’s counseling cases involving mortgages over a three- to four-year period. On both sides of the desk, the process can be emotionally turbulent, she relates. “There’s a feeling at first that you want to help everybody, and it’s difficult when you realize that isn’t possible,” Roberts says. “But when you’re finally able to help someone buy a house for the first time, it’s a really gratifying feeling.”

These satisfying experiences are what keep her working at Opportunities Credit Union. It cer-

tainly isn’t the money. “If I were working at a mainstream financial institution, I’d be getting commissions for what I do,” Roberts notes.

“Here, we’re all on salaries. We work for the people, not for the pay.”

Appearances notwithstanding, Caryl Stewart rejects the suggestion that Opportunities functions as a social-work agency. She holds a Master’s degree in social work from McGill University in Montréal, so perhaps she knows best. But she does argue that successful financial counseling can lead to improvement in all aspects of a poor person’s life. Inability to cope with the world of credit and debit is as much a cause of poverty as it is a symptom, Stewart says.

Borrowing a line from Thoreau, she observes that most poor people “live lives of quiet desperation.”

Stewart offers the example of a creditunion client who goes weeks without opening her mail because she knows it’s full of bills she can’t pay. Typical too, Stewart says, is the low-income person who scrapes to save $100, only to blow it all in an attempt to relieve the stress that can come from financial discipline.

The credit union’s ability to overcome these syndromes was what sold Lorna-Kay Peal on Opportunities. An arts consultant from Cincinnati, Peal moved to Vermont three years ago partly because she expected to find this sort of productive compassion.

The former executive director of the South End Arts and Business Association, she opened an account at the credit union after attending a Burlington presentation at which Opportunities investors Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield spoke.

“I loved the idea that they wanted to make loans to people who can’t get loans in other places for something as basic as housing,” Peal explains. She was so enthusiastic that she persuaded her husband, a chemical engineer, to open an Opportunities account as well. Their experiences at the North St. teller office quickly confirmed that, unlike most banks, the credit union specializes in the human touch.

“From the very first time my husband was there, they seemed to know him and treated him on a personal basis,” Peal recounts. “It would be a hundred years before a regular bank would act that way.” >> 30A

opportunity knocks << 29A

While clearly idealistic, Peal is also prudent. “I have to carefully guard my savings,” she says. “I work very hard for what I earn.”

Peal is confident that the federally insured credit union will manage her money responsibly, but she also maintains a checking account at a mainstream bank for her business.

Opportunities Credit Union pays about 1 percentage point less on certificates of deposit than does a traditional bank, notes Gretchen Morse, director of the United Way of Chittenden County. Her

the loans, but regulators tell us that when you hit 12 months [of delinquency] you’ve got to charge them off.”

This exasperating requirement underscores the need to create “an entire community banking system with its own regulations and processes,” Stewart says. “And that’s not an impossible idea.”

Caryl Stewart became the steward of Opportunities Credit Union after working for years in both the private and nonprofit sectors. A South Dakota native, she moved to

agency’s $47,000 account at Opportunities earns about 1.5 percent interest, compared to 2.5 percent available at local banks, Morse says.

Opportunities spokeswoman Ann Ryan says, however, that the credit union’s interest rates for money-market and savings accounts are comparable to those offered by area banks.

Whatever that differential, it doesn’t deter the United Way from depositing a small share of its funds at the credit union. This division represents an appropriate balance between her agency’s fiduciary responsibilities and its social obligations, Morse says.

“We were one of the credit union’s original depositors, and we have remained with them year after year because many of the clients served by agencies in the United Way are in need of financial counseling,” Morse notes. “Disciplined financial planning — this is what the credit union does that’s distinctively different from banks.”

Morse calls Opportunities “a wonderful organization.” She suggests, though, that most mainstream banks doing business in Vermont are also “amazingly responsive to community needs.”

For all the credit union’s achievements, Stewart feels frustrated by its limitations. “We’re using mechanisms that are geared to the middle class,” she says. “Federal regulations hold us to the same standards as the biggest and wealthiest credit unions in the United States.”

She’s not angling for her own credit union to be exempted from rules intended to protect customers, Stewart says. It’s just that one-size-fits-all regulation often prevents Opportunities from responding to its clients’ particular situations.

Because they lack financial buffers, “a lot of our folks do get behind in their payments,” Stewart notes. “Our collection department knows that they’re usually trying to make good on

Vermont in 1960 thinking it would be a good place to raise her two daughters after her marriage broke up. She also had relatives in Derby who took care of her kids while she studied for her Master’s at McGill. Stewart worked for a few years as a pediatric social worker, but left the profession out of frustration at being “unable to get from where you are to where you want to go.”

Stewart cofounded the Bennington Potters North store, then went to work for the Dean Witter investment firm in Burlington. These stints in the for-profit business world were more satisfying, in some respects, than her career in social services. “In the private sector,” Stewart reflects, “if you have a good idea, nobody throws a lot of bureaucratic stuff in your way.”

Still, she yearned for the intangible rewards community service can provide. Stewart, who will not reveal her age but appears to be around 70, left Dean Witter in 1988 to become director of the Burlington Ecumenical Action Ministry. BEAM had begun exploring models for establishing a community development credit union in Burlington. And Stewart was already well acquainted with the field, which she then decided to enter full-time. She had sat on BEAM’s board for several years, and had been a player in Vermont politics, serving as chair of the Burlington Democratic Party and running unsuccessfully for the party’s mayoral nomination and for a State Senate seat.

As the results demonstrate, leading the Opportunities Credit Union is a job that suits Stewart well. “It combines the excellence you can find in the private sector and the equity that’s the objective of the nonprofits,” she says. “It takes the best of both worlds and rolls them into one.”쩾

Decadent Dissent Theater review: Spielpalast Cabaret

n an era of rampant hypocrisy, the disaffected and marginalized often take refuge in satire, sex and song. Think Germany’s fragile Weimar Republic circa 1930, or another endangered democracy a little STORY closer to here and now. At Vermont’s ELISABETH revue Spielpalast Cabaret, entertainment A. CREAN always trumps politics. But the master of ceremonies wears fascist garb while issuing Spielpalast his Willkommen to the audience in “South Cabaret, Berlin-ton, the city of Queens,” and Chandler Music Hall, socially relevant undercurrents swirl Randolph, beneath the risqué dancing, nonsensical May 6; skits and generalized merrymaking.

The cast — two dozen “dancing ladies” and a handful of male accomplices — cavort energetically for nearly three hours, accompanied by the Spielpalast Band’s swinging, jazzy mix of mostly original music.

Spielpalast is inspired by the cabaret scene that flourished in Berlin during the 1920s and early ’30s. An intoxicating mix of forces rushed to fill the moral vacuum left by the German empire’s post–World War I collapse.

censorship and an explosion of sexual experimentation. A woman’s role was no longer defined by the Kaiser’s troika of “Kirche, Kueche, Kinder” (church, kitchen, children).

But liberation was limited; some German war widows resorted to prostitution to survive in an economy crushed by punitive war reparations and hyperinflation.

Europeans wanted to forget about the mechanized savagery that had just ground up a generation of men. Their desire to escape led to vigorous consumption of drugs and alcohol, and an endless appetite for all forms of entertainment.

Spielpalast brings to life the German cabaret’s dynamism and variety, flavored with a dash of American vaudeville.

To a diverse mix of musical numbers, the troupe adds juggling, gymnastics, magic and shadow puppetry. Comedy links the pieces together — satiric, absurdist, raunchy or downright silly — as do political undertones that resonate across the decades. According to the program, the Spielpalast Cabaret celebrates the resilience of the human spirit “in a time of mass propaganda, blind patriotism and military frenzy.”

Maxwell, the Master of Ceremonies, both anchors and drives the show. Phinneus Sonin engages the audience effectively and presides with energy and charm. Looking like a slightly deranged Jerry Seinfeld, he morphs into various other roles while always remaining his wide-eyed, delightfully over-the-top self.

As Spielpalast’s cocreator, Sonin developed some of the scenes that most pointedly combine comedy and commentary. In “Choice,” based on Bertolt Brecht’s “Abortion is Illegal,” he plays a farcical singing doctor, telling a destitute woman she must have her unwanted baby, because “He’s a hunk of cannon fodder and

that’s what your stomach’s for.”

But he’s soon exposed as a fraud, posing and pontificating as an MD. In “Light Box,” Sonin warns the audience away from the dangerous “cathode ray gun” concealed in the ingenious Greek-Latin hybrid “Tele-Vision.” But buxom shadow puppets behind the screen seduce him with a beer and the siren call: “Tired after a long day at the Spielpalast?”

Almost every performer in the troupe contributes creatively. Director Lois Trombley choreographs most of the big dance numbers, which are energetic crowd-pleasers. Her direction is sure-handed, her choreography animated and inventive. And Trombley gives the evening’s outstanding vocal performance: a dusky, soulful rendition of “Ten Cents a Dance.”

Spielpalast also showcases “dancing lady” Paige Carpenter’s versatility. Her gymnastic skills are incorporated into the choreography most strikingly in the “Myth Garden” scene.

She ascends two wide red ribbons suspended above the stage to execute a series of beautiful acrobatic contortions. Carpenter also defies gravity in a lighthearted juggling interlude with Sonin, competing to keep the most balls aloft.

Two other dance performances stand out. “Shaken Not Stirred” is a tap number that would make Fred Astaire proud. Shawn Lipenski, Zyck Baggett and Kim Jordan have frothy fun as sloppy drunks who just happen to be wearing tap shoes. At one point, they flop on their chairs to dance lying down on a sign for “Gilda’s Hangover Elixir.” In “Simb Thiosan,” Dembe Sene leaps and prowls as the jaguargod in a magician’s trick.

Sene is a former member of Senegal’s National Ballet, and his jaguar is one lithe, sexy beast.

Spielpalast begins to establish a cabaret atmosphere as the audience is arriving and getting seated. The band plays; the stage features a still-life tableau vivant with four scantily clad women. Cigar girls circulate, although in these smoke-free times they sell only chocolate stogies and lipstickstained Spielpalast postcards.

Other girls playfully market more ephemeral commodities, such as “Spankings for $1.00: Given or Received.”

The show’s technical aspects are universally strong.

Jessie Owens has put together trunkloads of inventive costumes ranging from slinky to madcap, dressing rebellious marionettes, lab-coated “Correctors” (sort of all-purpose mad scientists) and a reluctant human cannonball — not to mention the corseted, gartered and stockinged

Spielpalast Cabaret is not without flaws. At three hours, the show is a lot of entertainment for the money — maybe a little too much.

contribute to physical discomfort for some in the audience: Higher Ground provided a few cabaret-style tables, but the main floor was densely set with the kind of folding chairs that leave lumbars blowing in the wind and chiropractors leafing through Mercedes catalogues.

This may not be an issue at cushier theater venues.

Minor quibbles aside, Spielpalast Cabaret is a delight.

This talented troupe has revived an old art form for one central reason: because it’s so damn much fun. Compared to mindnumbing sitcoms or the heavyhanded CGIs of much modern cinema, an evening of live, fiveball juggling, smart comedy and horizontal tap dancing is far more breathtaking.

Grace Notes

GRACE POTTER & THE NOCTURNALS

An interview with Grace Potter

I

t probably won’t be long before the rest of the world knows about Grace Potter & the Nocturnals. Already one of the most talked-about acts in the Green Mountains, Potter and compaSTORY ny are beginning to attract the attenCASEY tion of some music-biz big shots. But REA the Waitsfield-based band isn’t in any hurry to sign on the dotted line — IMAGE they’re more concerned about preservMATHEW ing their integrity than “moving THORSEN units.”

With a sound somewhere between Grace Potter & the the ravaged blues-rock of J.J. Cale Nocturnals with and the soulful pop of early Bonnie The Whateverly Brothers, Higher Raitt, the group channels the ’70s Ground Ballroom, with respectful conviction. Listening S. Burlington, to their music, it’s hard to believe all May 6, 8 p.m. four members are still in their twen$12/15. ties.

The Nocturnals — named for their after-dark work ethic — came together in 2002 while members were attending St. Lawrence University in New York. By the following summer, they were touring New England, gaining admirers at each stop. The band’s debut, Original Soul, sold almost 3000 copies within the first few months, largely on the strength of Potter’s powerful pipes and solid, if familiar, songwriting style.

Heading back to Vermont in 2003, Potter and the boys continued to finetune their sound. Last winter, they sequestered themselves in The Haybarn at Goddard College with engineer Chuck Eller to work on a follow-up. A salty, sultry affair, Nothing But the Water showcases a talented young group coming into their own. The CD release party takes place this week at the Higher Ground Ballroom in South Burlington.

The band and their management all live together in “Hobbitville,” a deserted sign-production facility built

by Potter’s family three decades ago.

Seven Days recently chatted with her by phone from the band’s rural headquarters.

SEVEN DAYS: Your mom is a craftswoman and your father a sign-maker. Did you have a typical Vermont hippie childhood?

GRACE POTTER: Oh, totally. I can’t say no to that one. My parents built our house back when they were doing naughty things in the ’70s; I think they were hallucinating what they wanted it to look like. It’s a funky house with a mushroomshaped roof — really quite the place.

My friends would come over and they’d think, What the heck is going on? Why is the dad’s hair down to his shoulders?

SD: People talk about your voice all the time, sometimes forgetting that you’re also an organist.

When did you start playing keyboards?

GP: I started out on piano when I was pretty young. My mom was giving lessons to make ends meet at one point and, although I never took lessons from her, I was a highly competitive child. I just watched people’s fin-

gers. I’d listen to movie scores, and bring tape recorders into the movie theater. I remember when Titanic came out; I learned how to play the whole thing — it was so lame!

I actually only started playing organ last summer, though. Our drummer Matt bought it with my parents and a couple of other people, ’cause they thought that would just be the hottest thing ever. Plus, we were always looking for organ parts when we were recording, anyway.

SD: Original Soul topped a lot of year-end lists and flew out of local record shops. Did you feel any pressure about recording the follow-up?

GP: Not really. On Original Soul, we were starting to develop our sound a little bit more — at least beyond the demos. I didn’t think about it too much, but I didn’t want to put out a record that would alienate fans of the old one. It’s a continuation.

SD: You recorded the new disc in a barn. Was there a particular sound or vibe you were looking for this time around?

GP: It was totally a “particular sound” kind of thing. We had a great time playing at Goddard before, so we knew that we loved the space. We really wanted that Neil Young

A salty, sultry affair, Nothing But the Water showcases a talented young group coming into their own.

Harvest, J.J. Cale, good, gritty, early ’70s rock sound — where you can hear the room and everything going on, and it’s very much alive. It was a lot like being at home; we took that empty room and basically filled it up with shit like lamps and rugs. It was great to be having dinner, singing a song, and then running over to press “record.”

SD: How the hell do you guys practice, tour, record and live together without killing each other?

GP: We’ve had it out with each other a few times, but we got through the drama and realized that we all love each other. I can’t foresee anything that we haven’t already been through that would fuck up our relationship.

SD: Some of your songs reference experiences that you probably haven’t personally lived through. Where do these stories come from?

GP: I write about this character, this lady in my head. I’m not like some psycho that hears voices, but this one lady keeps coming back. She’s someone who’s been treated like shit over and over and is challenged by that, but is a strong character that keeps moving on. I don’t know where she comes from. Maybe she’s like the 50year-old version of me or something.

If all these songs were true, I’d be hurting the people closest to me, ’cause I’m a bitch in some of those songs!

SD: Do you ever feel like Snow White or Smurfette, being in a band with all dudes?

GP: Well, I’m lucky to have our business manager Zoom-Zoom [Kristen Monsell] on the road with us. She’s my saving grace. My farting capabilities skyrocketed when it was just me and the band in the van! Sorry to express it in such a way, but when you’re around a bunch of guys, you just kind of become one of ’em. It’s fun, though — I love it. I’m not a girly-girl; I don’t have a lot of girlfriends. I’ve always been a “guy” kind of girl — what can I say?

SD: Some of your audience is old enough to be your parents. Is that at all weird for you?

GP: No, it’s great, ’cause they’re the only ones who know who J.J. Cale is!

Talking to them feels more like talking to my peers, actually. Plus, they’re more likely to buy the records than

the kids! They give us that support, and they’re the ones that email us later and say, “I’ve told so-and-so, and so-and-so.” But we’re not really aiming for one audience, you know?

SD: Everybody wants to know: How close are you to signing with a label?

GP: We don’t even have a particular one in mind, so not that close, I guess. We’ve got a list, and our manager is sorting through them. There are a lot of great labels out there, but we’ve heard so many horror stories, so we’re just really being careful.

SD: What are you going to do if they start pressuring you to change your look or your sound?

Are you prepared to tell the suits to fuck off?

GP: Absolutely! I think we’ve held out long enough not to fall into that trap. We’re quick learners, and we really listen. That’s saved us from some potentially bad situations already. The whole major-label thing is really the scary one. You could sign to Back Porch Records and probably not get screwed over. It’s really the majors that do all the pressuring.

That’s fine, but we just need to know exactly what we’re getting into before we get into it. m

Manifest Nexto

Me are back. The band’s paranoid, edgy music combines chant-style raps with swirling keyboards to hypnotic, head-nodding effect. Propulsive, electronic-inspired percussion and fat bass flesh out the group’s unique sound. Long a live favorite, Manifest are gearing up for the release of their highly anticipated sophomore effort Forever From Now On — an album that should help vault the band to a new level. Join ’em for a CD release party this Saturday at Nectar’s. Fellow genrebenders Cold Duck Complex open.

BY CASEY REA keyboardist was doing some crazy shit — it was great.” Adams spoke of them again after a short intermission. “I just met that band The Middle Eight I was telling you about,” he rambled.

“You guys must have some great bands up here. You know why?

Because you have mountains. And where there’s mountains, there’s usually good weed. And guys with crazy scruffy beards.”

Right on all counts, Mr. Adams.

THE “OTHER” SUNDANCE FESTIVAL

RYAN ADAMS: 1, LOCAL MUSIC CRIT: 0 I never cared much for Ryan Adams. His old band Whiskeytown was pretty decent, and his debut disc Heartbreaker is still a great record. But that was all a long time ago; his most recent efforts have been singer-songwriter snoozefests or transparent modern-rock pose-athons. Sacrificing his gifts through cheap publicity stunts, drugs and egoism, Adams seemed destined for the dollar bin. Before last Thursday’s concert at the Higher Ground Ballroom, I had pretty much written him off as a highly talented mockingbird lucky enough to be dating Parker Posey.

Boy, was I wrong. Adams and his band, The Cardinals, played a terrific set of Byrds-esque country-rock to a full house — without any meltdowns. He must’ve been on his meds or something, because the man on stage was far more congenial than the tantrum-throwing prima donna I’ve read about. Sure, he seemed a little spaced out from time to time, but for the most part he was in great form.

Maybe Vermont just brought out the best in him. Local Americana sensations The Middle Eight were playing in the adjacent Showcase Lounge, and Adams caught a little of their set before he hit the stage. He was apparently pretty impressed, ’cause he mentioned them several times during his own performance. “I just saw this band playing in the other room, called ‘The Middle Eight,’” he enthusiastically told the crowd. “Man, their

Native American tradition is alive and well in Huntington, thanks to the energies of Beverly Little Thunder and her partner Pam Alexander. Which isn’t to say their efforts couldn’t use a financial boost from time to time. This week, you’ll have a chance to support Kunsi Keya Tamakoce, a nonprofit community the two founded.

A benefit for the Kunsi Keya’s annual Sundance Ceremony — a ritual of thanksgiving and healing — takes place at Burlington’s City Hall Auditorium on May 7 at 7:30 p.m.

Featuring performances from activist folkies Emma’s Revolution, local drummer Alyx Lyons and the Kitchen Sink Samba Band, the event promises to be pretty eclectic.

Winners of the prestigious John Lennon Songwriting Contest in the folk category, Emma’s Revolution have performed at peaceand-justice festivals around the world. No word on whether Kitchen Sink Samba Band incorporates household appliances into their set; you’ll just have to see for yourself. Tickets are $15 in advance, $18 day of show, and are available at the Flynn Center Box Office and the Peace & Justice Store in Burlington.

21ST-CENTURY DIGITAL BOY Hope you readers aren’t sick of me yet ‘cause I’m invading cyberspace. Seven Days is giving me my very own blog, which will give me a whole new way to babble about music. For those of you not in the know, a blog is short for weblog — a phenomenon that’s changing the way people share ideas and information. Through the magic of technology, practically anybody with an opinion can post comments, links and what-have-you across the Internet for the world to peruse. It’s probably about time I got in on it.

So what can you expect from this new forum? Well, in addition to providing instant commentary on all things musical, I envision linking to band websites, MP3s, reviews and all sorts of fun stuff. It’s going live pretty soon, so keep your eyes on this space for more info.

explains Clary. “It lets the director cut out all the background.

Originally the idea was to have different shots of Burlington behind us, but Rob got really excited about working with just a black background.”

Koier can be unconventional when it comes to getting his shots. “It was a bit of a challenge to get them going, so we’d yell suggestions, random things or even insults at them,” Koier relates. “At one point in the song Colin breaks down laughing because I flashed him from behind the camera.” Hey, whatever it takes, right?

The joint effort of Koier, Shawn Flanigan, Mat McDermott and Nicolo DePierro, Black and Blue Productions has worked on a Howard Dean message for MoveOn.org, as well as a handful of short films and documentaries. They’re shooting a video for New York City’s White Light Motorcade next week, which is slated to air on MTV Japan. You can check out their work — including the Magogs vid — at http//:www.blackandblueproductions.net.

TUESDAY NIGHTS IN MAY: 7-10PM

I just finished watching the new video for Colin Clary & The Magogs pop-tastic tune “Shape of This Town” online, and damn if it isn’t cute. I’m probably not really qualified to review moving images, but here’s a little breakdown for ya.

The video features dancing Magogs grinning like grade-schoolers on a sugar high. It’s silly fun, a little bit like an old Monkees clip. Covocalist Hannah Wall bops around the most, but Clary impresses with his striped sweater and furtive glances. I haven’t seen eyes dart like that since the video for The Bangles’ “Walk Like an Egyptian.” I’m not sure what’s making the band so giddy, but whatever it is should be bottled and kept under my desk.

Directed by local filmmaker Rob Koier for Black and Blue Productions, the short film utilizes bluescreen, a tried-and-true cinematic effect favored by the likes of George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg. “It’s basically like a blanket on a wall,”

TRINITY OF TALENT :: Ready for some real musical fireworks? Burlington’s Discover Jazz Festival has you covered. On Friday, June 10, three of jazz music’s most innovative saxophonists come together for a performance inspired by the harmonic meditations of the late John Coltrane.

The Saxophone Summit

features the energetic and colorful playing of Michael Brecker, Joe Lovano and Dave Liebman. To call these guys influential would be a major understatement; each musician brings decades of knowledge and nuance to the proceedings.

Backed by an A-list rhythm section, the trio is sure to cause sparks — add this one to your must-see list.

reviewthis REBECCA HALL, SUNDAY AFTERNOON

LITTLE WOODEN MEN, MADE FROM DIRT (Self-released, CD)

(Listen Here Records, CD) Folk songstress Rebecca Hall and her musical partner Ken Anderson moved to southern Vermont from the Big Apple not too long ago. It was probably a good idea; their gorgeously anachronistic tunes seem a bit out of step with the bustling modernity of the big city. The Greenwich Village ’60s scene would’ve been perfect for the duo, but these days the Green Mountains are a better fit. Hall and producer/arranger Anderson’s latest disc, Sunday Afternoon, proves how lucky we are to have them.

Hall’s songwriting style is, refreshingly, more European than Appalachian. While it’s hard to dismiss phenomenal talents such as Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, an increasing number of Dustbowl balladeers and mountain musicians are coming out of the woodwork lately. Tales of hardship and loss are universal folk-music themes, but Hall’s British Isles-style melodicism truly sets her apart.

She doesn’t so much ignore modern songcraft as transcend it. The haunting “Sculptor’s Song” provides a great example of Hall’s intuitive knowledge of folk history. A gifted lyricist, she displays a strong grasp of old-fashioned poetics. “You kept me spinning on your web, and that’s where I longed to hang / When sweetly bound above the moon, I clutched at every strand,” she sings in a heartbreaking hush. Anderson has a knack for crafting rich arrangements that don’t clutter things up; cello, oboe, bass guitar and bells accompany Hall’s frugal guitar playing.

The traditional tune “Rosemary Lane” is a more stripped-down affair. Accompanied by acoustic guitar and bass, Hall infuses the song with her beautiful, world-weary voice. She’s a fine interpreter, capable of uncovering the spirit of even the dustiest compositions.

It’s Hall’s originals that really get under your skin, however. “Thanks Just the Same” is one of the most captivating songs I’ve heard in ages. “I called up the doctor, ’cause I thought you were ill / he said to burn all your records, they were haunting you still,” she coos.

Delicately brooding and filled with muted passion, Sunday Morning showcases an accomplished singer-songwriter and an impeccable arranger/producer doing what comes naturally.

The result is a durable testament to the power of a good song. Be sure to check them out at the Bee’s Knees in Morrisville on May 4, and at Burlington’s 1/2 Lounge on May 5.

CASEY REA

In a town where homogeneity seems to define the musical ruling class, a band such as Little Wooden Men of Essex Junction have few chances to test their bold sonic explorations outside their own basement. For now, at least, this is enough to satisfy them. Their debut album, Made From Dirt, isn’t a particularly easy listen, but, like any worthwhile creation, it provides its own unique rewards. With each spin, something new is gleaned from the dense layers of inspiration and imperfection it contains.

Recorded at home, the disc is a reminder that you don’t have to be a studio wizard or Berkelee grad to write a compelling tune. If anything, Little Wooden Men’s lack of technical proficiency allows them to compose magnificently unself-conscious music.

Masterminded by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Forest Muelrath, the band is a collective in the truest sense of the word: an ever-evolving experiment featuring a changing cast of musicians. Part carnival nightmare, part post-adolescent elation, LWM’s music has something in common with indie bands such as Neutral Milk Hotel and Modest Mouse. Ultimately, however, their renegade sound is all their own.

Tracks such as “Bottom of the Lake,” “Nothing Song” and “Painting a Ridiculous Girl” start off simply before erupting into full-on sonic mayhem. Aided by unruly instrumentation and bubbling with the odd field recording, the band’s songs are all unhinged and outof-tune. Still, the fact that they don’t give a shit is pretty endearing.

Lyrically, Muelrath inhabits a sprawling world of paranoid surrealism; no self-deprecating whining here.

In his weird vision, TVs roam the streets, pictures speak, and death peeks from every corner. Assisted by the use of a Speak and Spell, Muelrath delivers some concise and inspired lyrics on “Duck.” “Birthday Song” and “Lay on the Tracks” — both jaunty meditations on violence and escape — are punctuated by delightfully off-key piano. As a singer, Muelrath is still finding his footing. At times, his gravedigger’s monotone is grating; at others, he conveys emotion through wild vocal leaps and lunges.

Although Little Wooden Men will probably have a tough time gaining local acceptance, they deserve applause for their fearlessness. Let’s hope they continue to explore the periphery of rock.

OPENINGS

Marking Time

A EXHIBIT “Marks of Distinction: 200 Years of American Drawings and Watercolors.”

Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H. Through May 29.

ARTWORK “Drawing for ‘Under the Lamp’” by Mary Cassatt (detail)

t Dartmouth College’s Hood Museum of Art, a brilliant exhibition entitled “Marks of Distinction” highlights 200 years — 1769 to 1969 — of American drawings, mixed-media watercolors and collage. In 1769, America simply wasn’t on the artistic map; by 1969, New York was the artistic center of the world.

The show begins with John Singleton Copley’s 1769 pastel portrait of New Hampshire’s last royal governor, native son John Wentworth. At a time when opulent oil portraits by Thomas Gainsborough were all the rage in Britain, Copley’s Wentworth seems relatively plain. But the self-taught Copley was a genius, and his expertise in pastel portraiture is unmatched. A 1784 penand-ink drawing by Benjamin West, “Archangel Gabriel of the Annunciation,” is in a more Romantic style and lacks the directness of Copley’s work — a directness that came to characterize American art.

Copley and West were two of America’s most prominent artists in the 18th century — a time when the 3500-mile trip to London required about six weeks at sea. Both made that journey prior to the American Revolution: West went east to England in 1763, Copley in 1774. Neither bothered to return.

With the onset of the Industrial Revolution, time and space became compressed, and artists’ transatlantic voyages went in both directions with greater frequency. Martin Johnson Heade, an avid world traveler and a dynamic painter of the American landscape, is generally identified with the Hudson River School.

Yet his circa 1860 pencil drawing, “Two Studies of Islands,” presents an unromanticized, calm realism devoid of the luminosity that typically infused Hudson River artists’ paintings. Although Heade is known to have visited Rome on two occasions, his trips were more concerned with natural history than with painting.

A later generation of Americans that included James McNeil Whistler, Mary Cassatt, John Singer Sargent and Winslow Homer was more in tune with the international fine-arts scene. These artists spent considerable time in Europe, and are well represented in the Hood show.

Cassatt’s “Drawing for ‘Under the Lamp,’” from around 1880, displays a thorough assimilation of Impressionism. This supremely confident conte-crayon study for a subsequent print contains some of the most distinctive marks in “Marks of Distinction.” Cassatt was included in the fourth annual Impressionist exhibition in 1879; Edgar Degas is considered to

have been her mentor. Her formal studies, however, included the tutelage of academicians Jean-Léon Gérôme in Paris and Carlo Raimondi in Italy.

Just as Cassatt is identified with Impressionism, Alexander Calder is tied to Dada and Surrealism. His 1931 pen-and-ink contour-line drawing of acrobats, entitled “The Exits,” exhibits the playfulness of his mobiles. Stuart Davis was another “Lost Generation” American visiting post–World War I Paris. His 1928 watercolor over graphite, “Statue, Paris,” shares Calder’s playfulness.

The works of Abstract Expressionists David Smith, Jackson Pollack, Adolph Gottlieb and other 20th-century greats are also prominent in this show.

The 80 works in “Marks of Distinction” comprise a compendium of American art and include ethnically diverse examples of folk art. Nineteenth-century artist James Bard’s chalk-and-watercolor study on paper, entitled “The Steamer Merneman Sanford,” is representative of his sharply rendered marine-themed works. A Kiowa Indian ledger drawing of dancing braves has similarly delicate lines, and its figures seem to float in space. “House with Figures and Animals” by Bill Traylor features the hard-edged, mystical figures for which the ex-slave’s works on cardboard are now well known.

It’s sadly ironic that Traylor, who died in 1947, was often homeless, yet today his works can fetch six figures.

Romare Bearden’s 1968 collage “Two Figures” is hung beside Traylor’s piece — and not, one hopes, simply because both artists were African-American. However, devoting one wall of the exhibition exclusively to works by African-Americans certainly gives the impression that categorization by race — rather than solely stylistic or historic concerns — was part of the curatorial approach.

Bearden, Matisse and Picasso are arguably the 20th century’s three greatest collage artists. In Bearden’s “Two Figures,” a man in blue jeans and a woman in a blue dress walk through a city described in grays, beige and brown. His understated color harmony is enlivened with closely arrayed values and patterns, as well as snippets of photography.

The works included in “Marks of Distinction” are drawn completely from the Hood’s permanent collection, and that in itself is remarkable. The growth in stature of American art during the two centuries that separated Copley from Bearden has been nothing short of revolutionary. m

SHORTS

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy HHHH

D CUTLINE: UNIVERSAL APPEAL Adams’ rollicking cosmic odyssey makes it to the big screen without a hitch.

on’t panic. The big-screen version of Douglas Adams’ beloved classic is not a disaster, as many predicted it would be — and some critics are claiming. Though it was completed without the help of Adams (who died of a heart attack in 2001), helmed by a director making his feature debut and released by Disney, the film is, overall, an immensely entertaining adaptation and a worthy successor to the BBC radio and television versions that preceded it.

Changes have been made to the story, liberties have been taken, and lots of stuff has been left out in order to cram the rollicking cosmic odyssey into an hour and 50 minutes. But, for the most part, sound decisions were made. Martin Freeman plays Arthur Dent, a mild-mannered Brit who is whisked off the planet in his bathrobe by his best friend. Played by Mos Def, Ford Prefect turns out to be an alien on a visit just as the Earth is about to be demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass. The two embark on a Pythonesque succession of intergalactic misadventures in which they encounter some of science fiction’s most unlikely characters.

Chief among these is Zaphod Beeblebrox, a two-headed hipster who also happens to be president of the Galaxy. In playing the role, Sam Rockwell channels George W. Bush the way Johnny Depp channeled Keith Richards for his portrayal of Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. That affectation, combined with a long, blond wig and a nonstop barrage of speed-of-light patter, results in the most out-there performance of the actor’s career.

Prefect and Beeblebrox are old pals. As reconfigured for the film, the story concerns the efforts of Dent, his two alien friends, a young woman he once met at a party before she left with Beeblebrox (Zooey Deschanel), and a manicdepressive robot named Marvin. Together, they try to stay one step ahead of a battalion of walking space manatees called Vogons. These creatures pursue them across the universe for reasons never made clear.

The plot, as in Adams’ work, takes a back seat to ideas and whimsical inventions. Most of the examples that made Hitchhiker so beloved in the first place are showcased in the movie. There’s the supercomputer Deep Thought,

which is asked to come up with the answer to “life, the universe and everything.” There are innovations in space travel such as “improbability drive” — a device that, in the event of pursuit, instantly transports one’s ship and anything in its vicinity to an unlikely alternate reality. In one terrific scene, Dent and company hit the button as two nuclear missiles close in on them. A blink of an eye later, one is a pot of flowers, the other a sperm whale plummeting toward the surface of the planet below. The thought process of the fish as it falls is one of the funniest things ever put on paper.

And there’s the climactic sequence in which Dent comes face to face with the longhaired chap who designed the Earth on commission. The filmmakers end the story differently than Adams did. The new conclusion is less poignant and more upbeat. I believe I prefer the original.

Nonetheless, the final moments combine breathtaking visuals with wonderfully understated wit. The enigmatic figure explains to Dent that, at a certain point in his career, he decided it’s more important to be happy than to be right. He tries to just keep busy. Dent asks him if he is happy and the reply is, “Well, that’s where it all falls apart.”

The acid test for a picture like this, of course, is, will it hold up for fans of the source material? My guess is it will for all but the most persnickety. Freeman never really came into focus for me. I think Simon Jones was better in the 1981 BBC series. And I’m not sure Alan Rickman was the best choice to voice Marvin — he’s too recognizable. I found it impossible to hear the android and not see the actor. These minor quibbles, however, are more than compensated for by a pip of a script, Garth Jennings’ able direction and a number of nice surprise touches, such as the appearance of John Malkovich in a role created just for the film.

The latest incarnation of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is a rip-roaring, interstellar romp in which worlds are gleefully destroyed and created. I can’t imagine why on Earth anyone wouldn’t get a big bang out of it. m

SEVEN DAYS FRANK MILLER AND ROBERT RODRIQUEZ ON THE SET OF SIN CITY

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Sin From Berlin

The complexity of his characters — tough guys and equally tough but scantily clad gals — won him new fans.

“It’s all I ever wanted,” recalls Miller, who has been described by admirers in recent times as one of the primary architects of the modern comic-book era.

Now living in New York City with Lynn Varley, his wife and frequent comics colorist, Miller is unfazed by critics who deem Sin City a macho motion picture on steroids. “Love it or hate it, this is exactly what I wrote,” he acknowledges. “My fingerprints are all over the movie.”

His footprints might soon appear on the sands of the French Riviera. Miller will attend next week’s Cannes International Film Festival, where Sin

City — starring Bruce Willis, among others — is slated to be in competition.

This heady honor caps a career that really began to take off in 1986, when Miller’s landmark “Batman: The Dark Knight Returns” stunned the comics industry.

“Frank came up with a storyline about the aging Batman that was hysterically funny,” suggests Jeff Danziger, a syndicated editorial cartoonist who was Miller’s English teacher at U-32 High School in East Montpelier during the early 1970s. “But he added a touch of miserable realism as well.”

His feverish imagination is rooted in a childhood during which Miller and some fellow third-graders would pretend to fly like superheroes. “I was a geek who loved comics,” he says. “But I’d hear people ask, ‘Do they still print those things?’”

Back then his family was bustling, with four boys and three girls in the house. Their mom, Marjorie Brigham Miller, is a retired nurse who still lives in Barre. As a teenager, Frank Miller dreamed of escape. “Jeff’s classes were a window tour of the world for me, but I was restless,” he recalls.

A few years after graduation, Miller headed to Manhattan with no formal training or experience in his chosen field. He began hanging out at the Midtown studio of renowned artist Neal Adams, who has made his mark on almost every comics franchise from “Green Lantern” to “X-Men.” Although Neal showed Miller the ropes, much of what the novice learned

was self-taught. “I bought muscle magazines to study what the physique of a hero should look like,” he explains.

Miller’s big break came in 1979. He was hired by Marvel Comics — “the place to be back then” — and began drawing “Daredevil,” about a spectacularly adroit blind man who battles villains.

After five years at Marvel, Miller decided to freelance. “Ronin,” his “Samurai science-fiction” series for DC comics, debuted in 1984. Two years later, he radicalized the Caped Crusader in print, with a gritty film-noir flourish.

Miller went to Hollywood in the late 1980s to co-author scripts for the liveaction Robocop 2 and Robocop 3, sequels to the 1987 original’s policeman-turnedcyborg saga. Fraught with compromises, the task was not satisfying for a Vermonter who values independence.

He started drawing “Sin City” during his Los Angeles sojourn, but the comic book’s ambience changed when Miller returned to the East Coast in 2001: “The palm trees and terra-cotta tiles were replaced by bricks and fire escapes.”

The complexity of his characters — tough guys and equally tough but scantily clad gals — won him new fans. “It’s a rather bold move to have your heroes not wearing tights,” Miller muses. “But I think a trench coat works as well as a cape.”

Miller was wary about ever putting Sin City on the big screen until Spy Kids filmmaker Robert Rodriguez invited him to co-direct, an effort that later included Kill Bill auteur Quentin Tarantino. The trio delivered a blockbuster that’s rated R for “stylized violence, nudity and sexual content,” but also has been praised as “visually intoxicating.”

When the Directors Guild denied Miller credit for helming the project because he lacked that type of previous experience, Rodriguez quit the organization in protest. Consequently, Sin City can’t be nominated for an Academy Award in the top category.

“Maybe it’ll get Best Foreign Film,” quips Miller, who’ll be busy with his cherished comic-book endeavors until it’s time to pack for the Riviera. 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.

50 = S in the U 36 = I in a Y 16 = O in a P 9 = P in the SS 24 = H in a D 60 = M in an H 52 = W in a Y, or C in a D 7 = D in a W, or W of the W 100 = C in a D, or Y in a C, or B of B on the W 4 = Q in a G, or S in a Y, or H of the A E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS SIMPLE MATH. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 55A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

FICKLE FANNIE HINT: The capital letters stand for words, but you don’t pronounce the equals sign.

S

in City, the recent release that depicts a bleak metropolis plagued by crime, was adapted from co-director Frank Miller’s similarly titled graphic novels. Despite his taste for urban-nightmare scenarios, the 48-year-old writer, artist and filmmaker grew up in little old Berlin, Vermont. At age 6 he produced a “book” with drawings and words on a few sheets of paper stapled together, a creative act that presaged his fabulous future in comics.

SONG CYCLE

Anarchist Emma Goldman wrote, “I want freedom, the right to self-expression, everybody’s right to beautiful, radiant things.” Eighty-five years later, the songwriting duo Emma’s Revolution takes those hopes to heart. Sandy Opatow and Pat Humphries won a grand prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition for their post-9/11 elegy “If I Give Your Name,” about undocumented workers killed in the collapse of the World Trade Center.

Frequent performers at rallies, Emma’s Revolution motivates the masses with wellphrased, passionate lyrics in songs that are earnest but not heavy-handed. This weekend, Emma’s Revolution raises support for Kunsi Keya Tamakoce, a local Native American Women’s Sundance. What goes around, comes around.

EMMA’S REVOLUTION Saturday, May 7, Burlington City Hall Auditorium, 8 p.m. $18. Info, 863-5966.

SEVEN DAYS

<calendar > scene@VERMONT DISMAS HOUSE ANNUAL DINNER SHERATON HOTEL, SOUTH BURLINGTON, SUNDAY, MAY 1, 5 P.M. Mike Smith was a 22-year-old novice prison guard at the Attica Correctional Facility in upstate New York when he took four bullets in the belly. It was September 13, 1971, the fourth and final day of a standoff between prison officials and inmates demanding improved conditions. Smith was lucky. Twenty-nine inmates and 10 guards died that day during the bloodiest revolt in American prison history.

Smith brought his story to the annual dinner and auction for The Vermont Dismas House, a transitional â&#x20AC;&#x153;home away from homeâ&#x20AC;? that helps former inmates return to society. Speaking to some 250 financial supporters, volunteers and residents, the unassuming Smith â&#x20AC;&#x201D; considered a â&#x20AC;&#x153;good guyâ&#x20AC;? by most of the prisoners he guarded â&#x20AC;&#x201D; told about being taken hostage, blindfolded and bound hand and foot, a knife at his throat and a spear to his chest. But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the inmates who ultimately wounded him. His assailants were state police sharpshooters. Under orders from Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, they swept over the prison yard in helicopters, releasing tear gas and more than 2000 M-16 rifle rounds. Smith was left with four exit wounds the size of grapefruits in his back from bullets that entered through his abdomen. He spent two years learning to walk again.

Smith â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who founded the activist group Forgotten Victims of Attica â&#x20AC;&#x201D; emphasized that New York State refused to accept responsibility for the bloodbath.

Government reports suggest instead that all the hostage died from slashed throats.

According to Smith and other survivors, all but one hostage died from gunshot wounds. None of the inmates had guns. In 2000, New York settled with the families of inmates injured or killed for $12 million. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been no settlement for wounded or dead corrections officers.

Ending his talk in a choked voice, Smith said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each of us is held hostage at times and each of us is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;shotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or wounded somehow, but all the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bulletsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; make entrance wounds and leave exit wounds. The trick to healing is to let the bullets out.â&#x20AC;?

SHOO FLY

The residents of a tiny Green Mountain town just north of Montpelier are, well, adamant that their burg is the barometer of blackfly breeding.

Since they should be emerging any day now, the Adamant Blackfly Festival celebrates the biting bugs everyone loves to hate with a tongue-incheek “coming out” party — complete with a raffle based on guessing what time of day the first fly will show. Other fly-spies include a costume parade, picnicking, poetry readings, live music by seven Vermont bands, a blackfly pie contest (prizes awarded for the “tastiest,” “most realistic,” and “bloodiest”) and blackfly lectures by famous (and infamous) entomologists. The whole shebang benefits the 70-year-old Adamant Co-op. Wonder if they sell repellent?

BLACKFLY FESTIVAL Saturday, May 7, Adamant Co-op, Calais, 10:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. Various prices. Info, 223-1330.

TOUGH LOVE

Set in sunny Sicily, Shakespeare’s gossipy play Much Ado About Nothing begins with soldiers returning, post-conflict, to peaceful Messina. During the forced separation of the war, the men have grown accustomed to having their way, and the women theirs. But the sudden reunion of the sexes results in miscommunication and hilariously barbed, belligerent wordplay. A supposedly confirmed bachelor says of his love-interest nemesis, “She speaks poniards, and every word stabs.” All’s well that ends well, however, and the passionate pair heals enough to eventually say “I do.” The Essex Community Players present the Bard’s only comedy not driven by cross-dressing. Go figure.

‘MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING’ Thursday through Sunday, May 5-15, Memorial Hall, Essex, various times. $12. Info, 878-9109.

L RE A

MAY 05-11

ARIES

(March 21-Apr. 19): The planning for a typical wedding lasts from 7 to 12 months.

Getting ready for the birth of a child usually requires every minute from the time people find out they’re pregnant until the delivery day. I foresee you experiencing an event in early 2006 that will resemble both of these happy yet challenging events. It might be something like the birth or dramatic renewal of a relationship. Or it could be the launch of a partnership that will ask everything of you, and give just as much. I suggest you start your preparations.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): On a family

profane world for decades at a time, this little town, known as Brigadoon, briefly materializes out of the mists, becoming accessible to any lucky person who happens by. I predict that something resembling Brigadoon will appear to many members of the Cancerian tribe in the coming week. To increase your chances for being in the right place at the right time, you should not simply follow your heart. Rather, follow the most audacious impulses of your heart, radiate mischievous warmth, and be vigilant with your peripheral vision.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): According to legend,

member’s 60th birthday, the Japanese celebrate a holiday known as kanreki. It’s a time of rebirth, when the celebrant ritually becomes a baby again and enters a second childhood. Among the many gifts given on the occasion is a red kimono, which signifies that in a sense the person is now freed from the responsibilities of adulthood. I recommend that you treat yourself to a similar rite of passage, Taurus. Even though you may not be turning 60, you are at the beginning of an extraordinarily fresh new cycle. You deserve a red kimono and at least a temporary respite from adult burdens.

influential blues guitarist Robert Johnson made a pact with the Devil in a crossroads. In exchange for his soul, the Devil gave him tremendous musical skill, including an unparalleled ability to affect his audiences emotionally. I predict that you will soon be tempted to negotiate a comparable deal in a crossroads, Leo. Please keep in mind that there will be some extremely fine print in the proposed contract. Besides that, I want you to know that while the progress you’d make with the Devil’s help may initially be faster, in the long run it wouldn’t be anywhere near as great as what you can accomplish without it.

GEMINI

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Of all the

(May 21-June 20): It’s time to declare amnesty for the part of you that you don’t love very well. Forgive that poor sucker. Hold its hand and take it out to dinner and a movie.

Tactfully offer it a chance to make amends for the dumb things it has done. And then do a dramatic reading of this proclamation by the playwright Theodore Rubin: “I must learn to love the fool in me — the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness, humility and dignity but for my fool.”

world’s landlocked countries, only one maintains a navy: Bolivia. Until 1879, it had a seaport, but lost it in a war with Chile. Over a century later, it has thousands of sailors but only a single sea-worthy ship, which it keeps docked in Argentina a thousand miles away. Its quixotic fixity of purpose seems to be a symbolic declaration that it intends to someday once again have land bordering the ocean.

I see a certain resemblance between Bolivia and you right now, Virgo. You also cling fiercely to a starryeyed commitment that might appear unrealistic to casual observers. The difference is that your dream, as opposed to Bolivia’s, is not entirely hopeless. You will receive a sign this week that reveals why.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “The proverb warns that ‘You should not bite the hand that feeds you.’ But maybe you should, if it prevents you from feeding yourself.” So said the critic of psychiatry, Thomas Szasz. He was urging us to think about how our dependence on seemingly benevolent providers might paralyze our free will and interfere with our ability to take care of ourselves. In the song, “The Hand That Feeds,” Trent Reznor of the band Nine Inch Nails expresses a further doubt about the proverb. He suggests the hand that feeds us may supply us with stuff that doesn’t really nourish us and that is tainted by the supplier’s questionable motivations. “Will you stay down on your knees,” he sings, or “will you bite the hand that feeds you?” I present these views for your consideration, Libra.

It’s a good time to re-evaluate your relationship with authorities who purport to be helping you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): For about half the year, Cambodia’s Tonle Sap River flows north. Soon after the beginning of the rainy season, however, it reverses its direction and flows south for six months. I bring this up, Scorpio, because the astrological omens suggest that you’re now in a phase comparable to the time when the river makes its turnaround. The experience may feel a bit odd at first, but it’s completely natural.

Go with the opposite flow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): History’s longest conflict between nations was the Hundred Years’ War, which England and France fought for 116 years between 1337 and 1453.

The shortest war ever was between Zanzibar and England in 1896. It lasted 38 minutes. Whether the hostilities you enter into in the coming week will resemble the former or the latter may all depend on two factors: 1. how open you are to learning from the other side; 2. how willing you are to acknowledge your own role in creating the circumstances that led to the dispute.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): Every hundred years, says a Scottish myth, a scrap of paradise appears on earth for just one day. Hidden from the

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Studies show that judicious chocolate consumption promotes longevity. People who ingest it three times a month are more likely to live into their nineties than those who either refrain from eating it or else gorge on it frequently. The astrological omens suggest, however, that your health will be well-served by eating 300 percent more than the judicious amount this May, beginning with a virtual orgy of chocolate feasting this week. I recommend that you also seek out other experiences that generate feelings similar to those stirred by a chocolate feast.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You now have the power to modify three situations that are overdue for change. First, you could heal a nagging ailment. Second, you could expand your awareness so much that you will detect an important fact about your life that you’ve been oblivious to. Third, you could end your preoccupation with a trivial problem, thereby freeing up energy to be used for the first two tasks. But none of these things will transpire, Aquarius, if you merely think about them and talk about them. You need a special kind of jolt that bypasses your rational faculties: a new medicine song. So call on all your resources — friends with vast musical knowledge, Web radio stations like Radio Paradise or 3WK, the playlists of people whose taste you like — to track down the tune that will rejuvenate your soul.

(Here’s one suggestion: “Stones” by Sonic Youth.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Sniffing basil and rosemary can make your thinking processes more agile and effective, say aromatherapists. You probably won’t really need any such boost in the coming week, though, since according to the astrological omens your mental faculties will be at their peak. But on the other hand, why not go for the super-brain effect? If you feed the odors of basil and rosemary to your already dexterous mind, you may break through into a new order of intelligence, allowing you to solve puzzles that have confounded you for months.

CLASSIFIEDSLISTING ANNOUNCEMENTS, BUY THIS STUFF AND MORE 4 announcements CAN YOU HELP? Do you want to learn about another country?

We are looking for families in the area who can host an exchange student for the 200506 school year. A host family can be a single person, a married couple with or without children at home, or an older couple who want to give an exchange student a chance to live with them and attend school here.

You need not have teenagers, younger children are OK, too.

Everyone can benefit from this experience. The students are boys and girls ages 16 and 17 from many countries including South America, Western, Central, and Eastern Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Russia and the former republics. They speak English and have their own spending money and medical insurance. The students have a variety of interests. The host family needs to provide room and board for the student. They do not need their own bedroom, but can share a bedroom. The students have a variety of religions as well as no religion. We need to find the families soon because the students need enough time to go through the visa process after being selected.

The schools also have deadlines to accept these students. Right now there is a good selection of students. Please call John at 866-838-4070 if you can host or have questions. This can be a very rewarding learning experience for you and your family.

Please call if you can help one of these students reach their dream of a year in the USA attending high school. We hope to hear from you. Thank you for considering this experience.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, I work in a large office with cubicles separating one desk from another.

These dividers are hardly soundproof, and the other day I accidentally overheard a personal phone conversation one of my coworkers was having about a good friend of mine, “Hazel.” The gist of what I heard was that Hazel’s boyfriend is cheating on her. As Hazel’s friend, I feel it’s my duty to clue her in. The trouble is, I’m afraid she’ll ask me how I know, and then I’ll come off as an eavesdropper. What should I do?

Perplexed in Plattsburgh Dear Perplexed, The fact that you’re embarrassed to admit how you came by this “information” ought to tell you something. You’re operating in the realm of gossip, based on hearsay that’s secondhand at best. The potential for you to do more damage than good here is huge. Find a polite way to let your coworker know that his private conversations are more public than he realizes. As for Hazel and her personal affairs, go with your gut, and butt out.

Love, Lola

HANDSOME, SILVER AUDI DUDE AT Waterfront Park, 4/21. Sitting on the bench, watching the regatta was beautiful, but a birthday party pulled me away too soon and I really wanted to say hi.

Coffee or tea? 7287 IN FRONT OF CITY MARKET: I SAID YOU were b-b-beautiful, which you are and which does not incline me to leave a “crossing of paths” to chance. I like you, do you like me? Let’s see. 7285 OUTBACK, BURLINGTON, 4/23, AROUND 6 p.m. You were sitting at the bar having cheesy fries. You said too bad they didn’t have a half size. Me: blonde w/a guy friend. Meet for fries? 7283 I CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT YOUR eyes! 4/22, Second Floor. Me: black hair, red top, back tattoo. You: black and white and the most magical eyes I have ever seen. 7282 AHOY CRAZY BEARD: PUT YOUR BARBIE brush down ‘cause the EZ Cheez is about to flow. Go ahead, leave the cabinets open ‘cause I’m still really going to miss you. Thanks for the laughs, listening, rambling, morning coffee puttering and all that jazz, literally. 7280 HULA-SKIRTED MARG SLURPING MAVENS. I miss you already. An angel and a devil walked into a seedy bar and months later I have an amazing friend. Our deer riding days have just begun. 7279 ATTRACTIVE BLONDE WALKING LITTLE Charlie on the bike path near Ledgewood, 4/24. I was the green-eyed guy in the yellow cap that said hello.

Find me. Heather in the yellow trench coat. 7277 4/22, PIMP AND HO PARTY AT 135. JOE from St. Mike’s. Sorry for the Cinderella stunt, maybe we could try to suffocate each other w/our lips again sometime.

Your shirt this time? 7276 I SPY THE HOTTEST PANINI CHEF ON Langdon St. Your eyes are amazing and your stench is magnificent. I love those Vermonts, maybe you can stuff my panini sometime. 7274 CUTE BOY WALKING DOWN CHURCH ST. listening to your headphones, strolling downtown w/your Chucks.
