H O M E HEALTH & HOSPICE

The visiting nurse movement at the turn of the 20th century resulted from epidemic infectious disease outbreaks. Since that time, Visiting Nurse Associations have been caring for people with health needs including babies and children, new & expectant mothers, children of mothers who are heroin dependent, people with disabilities, the eld erly and individuals with life-limiting illnesses. The VNA OF CHITTENDEN AND GRAND ISLE COUNTIES is a non-profit organization dedicated to pro viding high-quality health and personal care services in home & community settings including short-term, recupera tive & end-of-life care; maternal and child services; and long-term care provided in the home or at the Adult Day Program. Improved technology allows staff to provide more sophisticated care at home to patients with complex problems. As a result, while continuing to rely heavily on their strong foundation of skilled nurses, physical, speech & occupational therapists, medical social workers, home care aides, and homemakers, staff has become more spe cialized. The agency's clinical staff now includes geriatric nursing, Alzheimer's & respite care, pediatrics, mental health, HIV/AIDS, rehabilitation nursing, IV therapy, hospice care and maternal child health care. As health care reform initiatives continue, home care has become a more recognized & valued component of the continuum of care. Access to the VNA's medically necessary services regardless of where clients live or whether or not they can afford to pay full-fee is an issue of primary concern. Vermont's home health agencies have been committed to uni versal access since their founding in 190o and believe quality health care to be a right not just a privilege.

• FAMILY EYE CARE Your eyes may be the most sacred of your five senses. You and your children should be checked yearly for any type of vision problems. The doctor of optometry to see for primary eye care, yearly check-ups, correction of vision problems, or enhanced visual performance is Dr. Gary B. Irish at IRISH FAMILY EYECARE. With 34 years of experience, Dr. Irish explains that throughout ones adult life, changes inevitably occur in eye health, vision, focusing and eye coordination. Preventive care for healthy eyes should be incorporated into vour' annual routine preventive health care program. Changes in adolescent, adult and geriatric vision, as well as VDT users generally go undetected. As a primary eye care provider, Dr. Irish sees patients for emergencies, corneal abrasions, foreign bodies and infections. He also refers for vision therapy, which involves an array of procedures designed to achieve or maintain an optimally balanced and flexibly functioning vision system. Featured at his brand new state-of-the-art office are daily wear, astigmatic, bifocal and tinted soft contact lenses, as well as the gas per meable, tinted hard lenses and all accessories for contact lenses and full optical dispensary services. Dr. Irish pro vides total vision care. He specializes in routine preventive eye care and tests for glaucoma and other eye diseases. He has a genuine concern for his patients and for the quality of vision care available to our community. He empha sizes that you should play safe and have a qualified doctor of optometry test your eyes even if you don't think you need sight correction.

• STRUCTURAL MEDICINE SPECIALIST Brenda Kerr, the Director of KATAHDIN SPIRIT STRUCTURAL HEALTH is a graduate of the Institute of Structural Medicine in Washington, a Certified Hellerwork Practitioner and a Structural Medicine Specialist. Armed with a strong understanding of structure from years as a mechanical engineer and training in structural anatomy, movement and psychology, she is equipped to provide a comprehensive & unique bodywork experience. Brenda explains that she combines Hellerwork and Structural Medicine to provide a customized series of deep tissue bodywork sessions, movement lessons and m ind/body dialogue to help anyone feel better in their body; chronic pain clients, someone who would like to improve their athletic abilities, or those who are ready to recon nect and really begin to live in their bodies. Movement lessons are an integral part of the series. As the body is realigned, Brenda helps clients acclimate to the changes and suggests ways to help maintain these changes through customized movement modifications. Dialogue is used to deepen awareness of emotional stresses and patterns of muscle holding that may be related to physical symptoms. The ultimate goal of Hellerwork and Structural Medicine is to realign and integrate the body by releasing chronic tension, stress, and pain and by facilitating an under standing of the body, mind & spirit connection. Brenda states that the process moves clients to an optimal state of health by rebalancing their entire being, returning them to a more aligned, relaxed and youthful state.

• G U M DISEASE - HEART DISEASE

The evidence linking poor dental health with an increased risk of heart attacks - the number one cause of death for Americans, is growing stronger, according to latest research. Board Certified/Board Eligible Periodontists Drs. Paul A. Levi, Jr, Brian D. Shuman and Gordon Davis at ASSOCIATES IN PERIODONTICS state that research has found that certain strains of bacteria found in dental plaque may be implicated in heart disease. In patients with periodontal disease, gum tissues are inflamed and bleed easily, leading to introduction of pathogenic bacteria in the bloodstream, whicn may build-up on heart and blood vessel walls. Immune responses to these bacterial plaques and to vessel walls may lead to heart attack or stroke occurrence. All three doctors refer to the growing body of evidence that suggests tnat people who have periodontal disease are more at risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes, disease and diabetes, in addition to heart attacks. With 60 years of combined experience, Drs. Levi, Shuman & Davis are eauipped to perform bone and soft tis sue regeneration procedures, non-surgical techniques for snoring, halitosis (bad breath) treatments, non-surgical treatments using contemporary antibiotic therapies, the placement of dental implants and cosmetic periodontal plas tic surgery for gum aesthetics. They are also on the leading edge of periodontal care for women with gum disease related to systemic disorders, medications and hormonal influences. Dr. Shuman is the Chairman of the Vermont State Dental Society Continuing Education Programs & all three have teaching appointments at various schools.

ROLFING STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION

Diane Rodgers, the owner of THE ROLFING® CENTER, INC. has 7 years of Rolfing® experience, with a back ground that includes athletic training, massage and physical therapy techniques. She is dssisted by Kathleen Kish, who has recently joined the practice and brings to the Center her background1in massage and movement work. Diane & Kathleen explairi^hat Rolfing® structural integration promotes well-being by enhancing the body's pottern of organization. It balances the body in gravity and enables participants to function at successively higher lev els of efficiency and ease. It is an original and scientifically validated system of body restructuring and movement education. It releases the body's segments - legs, torso, arms, etc - from life-long patterns of tension and bracing and permits gravity to re-align them. By doing so, it balances the body. People of all ages come to Diane & Kathleen for help with neck pain, back problems, impaired mobility and other difficulties which originate with internal strains. Others seek to improve their appearance, to improve athletic performance, and to enhance personal growth toward a full realization of their potential. Both believe that Rolfing® results in a feeling of fitness and wholeness. ^People who have been Rolfed stand and move with more surety and grace than before. Each of Diane & Kathleen's ses sions builds upon the results of the previous one, so that the results are cumulative. The first seven sessions remove strain from specific areas of the body: the lower back, neck, knees, etc. The remaining sessions organize and align the body as a whole, resulting in better balance, enhanced freedom of movement, and a higher energy level

CLEAN CAMPAIGN Even as cynical humor, the ad in your last issue [February 18] that ridiculed my Ward 5 City Council seat opponent [Bill Keogh] was unwelcome. While my opponent and I each seek a seat that only one of us can occupy, our temperament as individuals and competitors has been friendly. We bring con trasting visions and energies to our campaigns, but find com mon ground in respect for each other. We’ve competed on gentle men’s terms and it’s sad to have an intruder’s animosity shadow the true colors of our campaigns. Jim Lockridge

O ur economy demands work ers with high entry-level techni cal, academic and social skills. The technical academy organizes its curriculum with those goals in mind, giving students actual experience, opportunities to attend real college classes, and practice working in teams and with the public. Approval of the Regional Technical Academy strengthens local democracy by giving citi zens in all surrounding commu nities a representative voice in how much and how their tax money is spent. Currently those decisions are made solely by the host communities, and sending communities must pay the bill — like it or not. If you believe in local participatory democracies, then you should support the RTA. Educators at all levels general ly agree that authentic learning experiences are the most power ful. Technical centers are. designed to provide authentic learning — and it works! Every day I witness students growing into responsible adults capable and interested in pursuing career^ and college. If you know^arents of a technical center student, talk to them about the success of their child. I urge you to support expanded options for students and greater local control over

technical education by voting yes for the Regional Technical Academy. Tom B isson MIDDLEBURY

TECH NO Citizens will be asked to vote on Town Meeting Day in favor of continued planning for a new Regional Technical Academy. The purpose of this letter is to convince voters to say “no.” Not enough input has come from the communities being served or from the State Board of Education. This proposal came from the Burlington and Essex school systems and from the pri vate sector. District school repre sentation began well after key funding, governance and educa tional decisions had been m ade... How and where the Center fits with recently stated State Board priorities has not been explained. Governance is complex, untested and takes too much decision-making away from local communities and educators. The Technical Academy School Board will include publicly elected or selected members, plus members chosen through the private sec tor. A ll public members repre senting high school districts should be elected to preserve local accountability.., Very little information on cost

The State has not indicated where its 78 percent share of capital costs (about $45 million) will come from... Student-enrollment pre dictions, at least two years old, do not reflect recent downward trends in student numbers, and did not involve principals and guidance counselors when done originally. Alternatives to a centrally

operated Technical Academy have not received fair evaluation. There has been no comparative evaluation of alternatives such as local centers, in our high schools, apprenticeship pro grams, coordination of programs with Champlain College, UVM, St. Mike’s, CCV, instituting a summer session technical experi ence using available schools, etc. The Slippery Slope: The new School District comes into exis tence if voters approve in March (1st vote) and November (2nd vote). All that’s left after that is to

approve a budget over which there is little local control fiscally or educationally. I urge citizens to vote “no.” R obert B. Low RICHMOND

SUPPORT KUCINICH I am writing to urge fellow Vermonters to vote for Dennis Kucinich in the upcoming Democratic Primary election. There are many reasons to sup port him. He is an experienced leader, having served as mayor of Cleveland, Ohio, and a congress

man since 1996. Dennis Kucinich has a record of standing up for the things in which he believes. He is the only presidential candidate who voted against the PATRIOT Act. As a believer in peace, he rallied Congressional opposition to the Iraq war. To me, the high cost of health insurance that has 40 million Americans without insurance and 30 million more with minimal coverage is both an economic and moral tragedy. The General Accounting Office of Congress has reported: “If the U.S. were to shift to a system of universal cov erage and a single payer, as in Canada, the savings in adminis trative costs would be more than enough to offset the cost.” A Harvard Medical School study ' published in the February Archives o f the Internal Medicine reported that 64 percent of the randomly sampled Massachusetts physicians favor a single-payer national health insurance. A Kucinich administration will work to deliver such a system. These are a few of the reasons that I feel with Dennis Kucinich, a son of working-class America, we can have a government that works for working-class Americans. Dave R osen BRISTOL

HOT NUMBER I’ve never seen your sex issue before [February 4) and now I’m already looking forward to next year’s number. I enjoyed every part, and I am especially impressed by the tone you struck upon — wry, realistic, forthright and also rather warm-hearted. Bravo! Jim Schley SOUTH STRAFFORD

[Ed. Note: Thanks, Jim! Were glad it was goodfor you, but please note that the sex survey is every two years.] ELECTORAL FAITH If the people in a representative government do not have faith in the accuracy of their elections, then it’s only a matter of time until the government will col lapse. Fair elections are the lifeblood of democracy. If there are reasonable doubts about the accuracy of computer ized voting machines —- and I believe there are reasonable doubts about them — we should do whatever it takes to dispel those doubts. We can do this by simply mandating that computerized voting machines produce oldfashioned paper ballots that would be available in case ques tions about the election arose or a recount was necessary.

R e v is io n is t H is to ry hat’s what Deputy Campaign manager Bob Rogan calls recent national press accounts using unidentified sources to blame Howard Dean’s demise on the “inexperienced” local yokels on his campaign staff. “It reminds me of JFK’s line,” said Rogan, “the one about victory having 100 fathers while defeat is an orphan.” The post-mortem spin has been that the Vermont core staffers, particularly Rogan and Kate O'Connor, were constantly at war with the wiser campaign professionals like Joe Trippi. Incidentally, Trippi, Dean’s second cam paign manager who departed after the New Hampshire defeat, has become almost as famous as Ho-Ho. After leaving Burlington, Joltin’ Joe was instantly reborn on MSNBC as a TV pundit. Rogan, meanwhile, was at his desk Monday. The campaign that once had 600 employees nationwide — 150 in Vermont — was down to just 20, he said. By next Monday, they’ll be down to seven. What goes up must come down. “Yeah, sure,” said Rogan sarcastically in response to the stories that blame the Vermont staffers. “We wanted to crash into the mountain. We didn’t want Howard to succeed.” Rogan, always a gentleman, respectfully declined “to denigrate anyone” who was part of the team. “We had great successes and we did that together,” he said. “And together we all made mistakes.” But he couldn’t resist saying something about the current Trippiesque spin. The fact is, the campaign outraised and outspent every one else. But after Iowa and New Hampshire there was nothing to show for the $40 million that went flying out the door. “We collectively made the decision,” said Rogan, “to put the money on black.” The group plan was to spend heavily on TV and achieve what Trippi called the “whoosh effect” coming out of Iowa and sweeping into New Hampshire. To get there they had to make the unknown candidate from Vermont known. “We needed to put him on the map,” said Rogan, justifying the expensive TV advertis ing. “We threw some ‘Hail Marys.’ Some made it to the end zone. Some didn’t.” When Dean started to “stumble” in Iowa during December, said Rogan, the campaign decided to spend even more on TV spots more “to retain his frontrunner status.” The decision to spend heavily and early on TV advertising, Rogan insisted, was a group decision. “We all participated and the gover nor signed off,” said Rogan. The Dean money was on black, but the ball landed on red. “That’s just the way this business works,” said Rogan. “Unfortunately, there was a whoosh effect after Iowa, but it belonged to John Kerry.” As for Trippi, Rogan called him “a politi cal genius.” No bad blood, he insisted. But Trippi wasn’t perfect. Rogan said he was often “difficult to work with,” and had “a mercurial personality.” Trippi’s focus was on the Internet and the media. “He had a strategic vision,” said Rogan, “and he served the campaign well.” Rogan said the Trippster “may have been

T A M G

Thanks for everything

LoVE^HlP many things, but he wasn’t a good manag er.” There was “tension” in the office, con ceded Rogan, “over the need for others to fill in to make up for Trippi’s lack of man agement ability.” Rogan was still too close to it all to iso late specific strategic errors that led to Dean’s departure from the race. That will come with time. For now, he pointed to a comment by William Greider in The Nation magazine. As Greider wrote, Howard Dean “stuck his chin out and got his head taken off.”

GOP Crime Watch — In a government plagued by scandal, it’s hard to keep track. One recent juicy one that you might have missed involves the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. Two Republican staffers have resigned in the wake of the discovery that internal poli cy emails between Democrats were being regularly stolen by Republicans. Sen. Edward Kennedy has compared it to the Watergate break-ins of yesteryear. Following a briefing by the Sgt. at Arms Office, Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch said on February 12 that the briefing “unfortunately confirmed that two former Republican Judiciary Committee staff members were involved in wrongfully access ing and downloading thousands of Democratic computer files over many months. While it is premature to judge whether any crime has been committed, it is clear that unethical conduct has occurred.” What’s locally interesting is that U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy is the vice-chair of the Judiciary Committee. And here in his home state, the Vermont Republican Party is eagerly promoting the distribution of the stolen documents. On its Web page, under the heading “The Sound of Silence,” the Vermont GOP asks, “Why is the press ignoring what the Democratic Judiciary memos say?” No mention of the fact that they’re stolen documents and an investigation is underway on Capitol Hill. The party’s home page at www.vermontgop.org even provides a direct link to a site where the stolen emails can be downloaded! Talk about being helpful! Vermont GOP Chair James Barnett defended the link this week. Mad Dog told Seven Days that while he didn’t “condone the way the memos were obtained,” the real con cern is that “they reveal the coordination between Democrats and the special interests ^ that were pulling the strings” to block Presi dent George W. Bush’s judicial nominees. But James, they’re stolen. Hello? What if the shoe was on the other foot? Perhaps Mad Dog should heed the warn ing of a fellow Republican. Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina recently said, “Conservatives who offer justification for this based on politics have missed the boat. As a conservative, it runs against my philos ophy of what the law is all about.” Former Vermont Press Bureau reporter Tracy Schmaler now works as a press aide for St. Patrick on the Judiciary Committee

Magnolia, Arkansas, when he entered a Wal-Mart store at 4:30 a.m. and bought a bolt cutter. The cashier noticed he was wearing handcuffs and called police. Too G o o d t o B e T ru e Health-food executive Robert Ligon, 68, entered a federal prison to serve 15 months for deliberately mislabeling doughnuts, cin namon rolls and cookies as low-fat. A Food and Drug Administration analysis found, for instance, that his company’s carob-coated doughnut, which claimed to have 3 grams of fat and 135 calories, really had 18 grams of fat and 530 calo ries. Ligon bought regular doughnuts for 25 cents to 33 cents each, relabeled them and then sold them to diet centers for a dollar each. His three-year decep tion, during which the government fig ured he sold several hundred thousand

were cracked, so they decided to tape the crack together and move the explosives to another location. John T. Conway, who chairs the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, said that such unorthodox handling increased the risk of dropping the unstable explosive, with “potentially unacceptable consequences.” Tax B re a k o f t h e Y e ar (So F a r) Wisconsin became the first state to offer organ donors a tax deduction to cover their expenses. Residents who donate all or part of a liver, a lung, a pancreas, a kidney, intestines or bone marrow are eli gible to deduct up to $10,000 from their state income tax for such things as travel, lodging and lost wages. The state insisted that the measure isn’t aimed at encourag ing or rewarding donors. Indiana is con sidering almost identical legislation.

S ta n d - U p S t a n d - I n s British authorities charged Danny Sorhaindo with taking a driving exam to get a license 99 times. He reportedly imper sonated drivers with learner’s permits, who paid him $1000 to take the practi cal test by pretending to be them. • Danish Justice Minister Lene Espersen demanded an investigation into the practice of convicted criminals paying stand-ins to serve their prison sentences. Prison authorities said because they aren’t permitted to demand photo iden tification and aren’t equipped to take fingerprints, they rely on the original written conviction and a doctor’s certifi cate as proof of his identity. “We know of six cases of stand-in inmates since 1996,” Annette Esdorf of the Department of Prison and Probation told Reuters news agency, “but we can of course not guarantee there haven’t been other cases that we don’t know of.” T h a n k s f o r N o t h i n g while Doug Neece, 41, was on trial for exposing himself to a postal worker in Scott County, Iowa, his wife testified that his penis is too small for the woman to have seen it from 35 feet away, as she claimed, even when erect. H o r n s o f a D ile m m a Residents of South Camden, New Jersey, who’ve lived in a toxic environment for decades won a reprieve against a $2 million state and federal cleanup. They argued that once the soil was no longer laced with gamma radiation and the stench from the coun ty sewer, incinerator and factories disap peared, they might lose their homes. Officials told the Star-Ledger that some residents would be forced to move

because of the cleanup and renovation. Other people said they fear they’ll be displaced by commercial development once the toxic waste is gone. G e tt i n g R e a d y f o r t h e N e x t W a r The Defense Department is fund ing research to turn the Segway Human Transporter into a battlefield robot. The project to teach two-wheeled scooters to think for themselves is part of a $26 million software development effort for autonomous systems. Researchers have already programmed Segways to open doors, avoid obstacles and chase soccer balls, all without human control. The scientists suggested that the robots would be able to perform search mis sions on the battlefield, carry injured troops to safety and tote soldiers’ gear. G o d Is H is C o -P ilo t An American Airlines pilot interrupted passengers fly ing from Los Angeles to New York and asked Christians to raise their hands. He then suggested that non-Christians talk to Christians about their faith and declared that “everyone who doesn’t have their hand raised is crazy,” according to passenger Amanda Nelligan. She told CBS news that some passengers won dered whether the pilot’s comments were a threat, and a few were so worried that they tried to call relatives on their wire less phones.

s the Great White Way being rerouted through White River Junction? Not quite. But according to Northern Stage Artistic Director Brooke C iardelli, the theater company has found itself a spot inside New York theater’s “gossip loop.” It started with P atrick Stew art. Or rather, it started with actress and NS favorite Lisa Harrow, a friend of Stewarts who recruited him for a staged reading of Who's Afraid o f Virginia Woolf at NS in January. Shortly thereafter, over a Manhattan lunch, Stewart happened to mention to a friend that hed just done a reading of Virginia Woolf with this nice little theater up in Vermont. The friend was A rth u r Miller. That opened the door for a call from Ciardelli. Would the playwright be will ing to do something for NS in conjunc tion with an April production of Miller s A ll My Sons? No, but he could offer the company something better: a chance to do a staged reading of his newest play, Insurrection Blues, a dark comedy about a dictator who wants to crucify a Christ-like rebel leader and sell the TV rights. The play premiered two years ago at the Guthrie in Minneapolis and had its East Coast pre miere last fall at the Wilma in Philadel phia. Both productions, though heavily hyped, received mixed reviews, and Miller wanted a chance to hear the script again in original form before its next full pro duction at the Old Globe in San Diego. Enter Northern Stage. Ciardelli will direct the reading, this Sunday at 3 p.m. Miller will be in atten dance, and he’ll discuss the play with the audience afterwards. Not surprisingly, the event is already nearly sold out. W hat’s it been like to deal with a liv ing legend? “It’s like speaking to God,” says Ciardelli. But she found Miller, who’s 88, to be very direct. When she asked if she should contact his agent about the read ing, he responded, “I’m the playwright, who else are you gonna talk to? I’m telling you, ‘Do the show,’ do the show!' Miller is not asking for any payment, and neither is the cast. Ciardelli says Resurrection Blues is a “a funny, funny, funny play... but it’s a cru cifixion comedy.” She’s prepared for the possibility that not everyone in the audi ence is going to appreciate the m ix .'/ Critics have been split: While not crazy about the satire, they admired Miller’s passion. Coincidentally, Mel Gibson’s Passion opens just a few days before Miller’s Resurrection. By Sunday, a crucifixion comedy may be just the thing. SLAPPED TOGETHER?

support, upraised hands, cheerful demeanors and occasional slaps upside the head. And that was just the performance by the Dance Company of Middlebury. The beautiful, barn-like studio of Brandon artist Fran Bull was the site for the standing-room-only party, the second T H T fundraiser she’s hosted. The first was a “three sopranos” concert last sum mer, with Bull as one of the singers. Since launching the capital campaign six years ago, T H T Executive Director Doug A nderson and volunteers have raised $1.1 million for the project. They need twice that to complete the first phase of structural and aesthetic repairs. As for the slaps, they were part of a Samoan native dance by Falani Kalolo, 22, a charismatic New Zealander who’s a visiting artist at Middlebury this semester. Later, Kalolo and a partner livened up the post-show Q&A with a running, tum bling dance in the snow just outside the studio’s big gl^ss doors. GOLDBERG VARIATIONS Prolific Burlington playwright Steve Goldberg had a rough year in 2003: His wife, singer-songwriter R achel Bissex, con tracted and survived breast cancer, and Goldberg, 63, had to have both hips replaced. Before going under anesthesia, he came up with a plan “so I’d be sure to wake up”: a yearlong retrospective of all 20 of his plays. Now his dream’s becom ing a reality: Auditions have been sched uled for March 13 and 20 at the Fletcher Free Library, and a kickoff evening of Goldberg monologues is slated for June 2. Most of his plays have already been seen in Burlington, and a few have been pro duced in New York; they range from 1982’s The Sandtrap, in which “the pow ers that be attempt to exploit a brilliant, eccentric inventor and his bizarre wife,” to 2003’s rollicking death-row farce Don and Tom. So who wants to see them again?

ublish or perish.” Those three little words lend a Darwinian edge to the tweedy world of traditional ^aSehie. Academics peruse th e JjdS o f books and articles on their colleagues’ CVs like alley cats siz ing up backyard birdfeeders. “He tried to place it with Chicago, but it ended up being brought out by East Podunk Press,” is the sort of dismissive comment an eavesdropper might hear in the facul ty lounge. University presses are strange animals. Some see them as saviors of Western civilization, others as glorified vanity presses. W hat everyone agrees on is that, without them, the publish-or-perish system wouldn’t make much sense. In most humanities departments, young professors face the simple equation: No book, no tenure. But while writing that book on an obscure Finnish dialect may not be a problem for an eager-beaver young Ph.D., the

While writing that book on an obscure Finnish dialect may not be a problem for an eager-beaver young Ph.D., the publisher lucky enough to present it to the world can seldom expect to break even. publisher lucky enough to present it to the world can seldom expect to break even. That’s where university presses come in. As nonprofits subsidized by their parent institutions, they can afford to take losses on books that make specialists salivate but will never reach a broad audience. Contrary to widespread belief, academic presses don’t find all their authors in-house, but read and publish manuscripts from all over. When it supports a press, a university announces its com mitment to a greater community of scholars. As Duke professor Cathy Davidson recently wrote in a Chronicle o f Higher Education article, research universities that don’t have presses can be seen as “mooching off” those that do.

It looks like the University of Vermont has put an end to its freeloading ways. Last month, it became the newest member of the University Press of New England, a publishing consortium based at Dartmouth College. As public-relations events go, a university’s signing on to a publishing program doesn’t generate the hoopla of, say, a brand-new student center or beefed-up athletic program. But, in its quiet way, it tells us something about where UVM’s administration is heading. And it’s good for Vermont writers, regardless of whether they’ve ever stood at a lectern. Joining a publishing consortium is a way for rel atively small schools like UVM to “take advantage of economies of scale,” says UPNE press director Richard Abel. It prevents duplication; why should UVM spend lots of money to do what the University of New Hampshire is doing, when they could share resources?” How does the consortium work? UVM will join four area schools — Brandeis, Tufts, Dartmouth and the University of New Hampshire — in pay ing dues to support UPNE. In return, it will be able- to publish books using the press’ resources, under its own imprint: “University of Vermont Press.” The first book to bear the imprint will be a reis sue of The Vermont Encyclopedia, the glossy trea sury of Green Mountain facts and lore that was a best-seller for UPNE in 2003. A UVM faculty member — who is yet to be named — will sit on the consortium’s editorial board and help the uni versity develop its particular publishing “identity.” Denise Youngblood, vice-provost for faculty and academic affairs at UVM, says the university will focus on three areas that correspond to its scholarly strengths: New England-Canada studies, environ mental studies and multicultural studies. In the current economic climate, Youngblood says, “It would be hard for any university to start its own individual press.” UPNE provides ready made infrastructure, such as marketing and distrib ution networks. Still, every venture into scholarly publishing is a gamble — one that a school’s budget-minded administration may not always be will ing or able to support. UVM will pay $13,000 for membership this year. But it is also expected to cover the production costs, including design and printing, associated with every book on its imprint. The membership of UPNE has fluctuated since its founding in 1970. Middlebury College defected last year after roughly a decade with UPNE. Middlebury Vice-Provost Robert Schine explains, “W hen we joined, it was a useful thing for the col lege to do. But we found that it was not proving to be a common venue in which our faculty pub lished. O ur faculty publishes with better-known university presses.” “We weren’t really placing many books for the money we were spending,” says professor and poet Jay Parini, who co-edited several anthologies pub lished by UPNE. “It wasn’t the vibrant connection [the administration] had hoped for.” This isn’t UVM’s first go-round with UPNE. Abel says that the university joined the consortium in the ’70s, but dropped out because of “budgetary pressures.” Youngblood notes that the university’s decision to rejoin the press “signifies our commit ment to research and scholarship.” Abel agrees that it indicates “the situation has changed. With the new president, there’s a lot of vitality; a desire not only to make the school well known in a lot of aca demic areas, but to reach out to a broader public.” Ah, that elusive broader public.;, one to which

this whole topic may seem purely academic. Type the words “crisis in academic publishing” into Google, and you’ll find a hot debate raging over how to make the enterprise both more viable and more relevant to folks without a Ph.D. As state budgets shrink, university libraries — the tradi tional market for footnote-riddled tomes — are getting pickier and more populist in their selec tions. A rift has opened between professors, who clamor for more scholarly books, and undergradu ates, many of whom seem not to know their way past the computer room and into the stacks. Rare is the student who wouldn’t rather spend hours sifting through the dodgy information on Internet sites than crack the spine of Professor X’s latest opus. A frequent complaint: “Those books aren’t written in English.” Whether the problem is professors’ affection for jargon or students’ aversion to effort — or a bit of both — the fact is that university presses have begun branching out to readers and writers beyond the ivied walls. UPNE is a case in point. Under the Hardscrabble Books imprint, it publishes “fiction of New England” — some with a decidedly popu lar bent, such as the Patrick O ’Brian-esque Frost Saga and a series of mysteries set in the world of professional golf. In UPNE’s catalogue you’ll find a motley collection, ranging from new translations of obscure works of the philosopher Rousseau to biographies of New England women writers to a guide to “creating community treasure hunts.” Is there a rationale for publishing non-scholarly work — other than the bottom line? Abel thinks so. “A university press is a microcosm of the uni versity,” he says. “There are three components to its mission: research and scholarship, instruction, and community service. We publish books for all three.” In that spirit, Abel adds, “We will be looking for authors who are not necessarily academically affiliated. There really is no publisher that has a specific interest in Vermont like UVM will have.” So dust off those manuscripts — and if you don’t have a string of scholarly credentials after your name, be grateful your career doesn’t depend on their fate. ®

A L L T H E N E W S THAT G IVES U S FITS

S ta r W a rs ? ow sad to think that the universe has only 30 billion years to go before it loses its bat tle with some “mysterious, repulsive force” and either “expands so incredibly that it ends in a Big Rip” or, conversely, changes course and smashes us to a pulp, in a final, cataclysmic “Big Crunch.” Scientists are calling this force “dark energy,” with a nod to Einstein, but they have no idea what’s causing it. “Galaxies are receding from each other at an ever-faster pace,” is the most they can say. “Gravity is losing,” news that’s bound to upset the God Bless America, One Man-One Woman, Four Cars in Every Driveway crowd. “About 70 percent of the universe is made up of dark energy,” explains Dr. Adam Riess of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, “while most of the rest is another mysterious thing called dark matter, and only a small fraction is real matter like stars, planets and living entities” — such as animals, vegetables and the Christian right. According to Dr. Riess, the universe is already 13;.7 billion years old — he said it, I didn’t — and it isn’t clear if Jesus will \ return in time to stop those nasty, “activist” judges from forcing Americans into homosexual marriage and taking away their guns. For the record, I note on the obituaries page of the local daily that a lot of people, rather than simply dying, are “going to be with the Lord.” May I suggest that they take Him a message? Unborn babies and queers cutting wedding cake aren’t the only things God’s Little Toddlers have to worry about. A secret report, prepared for the Pentagon and leaked last week to the London Observer, affirms, “Climate change over the next 20 years could result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters.” Major cities will be “sunk beneath the seas,” while “mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world.” I know this is \yhat Christians desire in their hearts, but please — “So dramatic are the report’s scenarios,” the Observer main tains, “that they may prove vital in the U.S. elections. Democratic frontrunner John Kerry is known to accept climate change as a real problem,” while the Bush administra tion, with its head in the sand, “is ignoring the evidence in order to placate a handful of large energy and oil companies.” That’ll get the leftists out to vote, I pre dict! Howard Dean was the first — and last — to ask, “Why shouldn’t companies be accountable to investors and the public on important matters like environmental stan dards and labor relations? Knowledge is power.” You have to read the newspapers, of course, to know these things. That’s all I’ve been doing since Dean got the axe. I won’t watch television, the weapon that killed him, or hear the excuses of the Democratic Party, which ordered the hit. I only hope that Howard, in the vulgar parlance, is a big boy and can take it — though I’m sure that no one who hasn’t experienced it first hand is ever prepared for the malicious

idiocy of the American media in full-frontal assault. Please, don’t bother to object. “In forty years of observing presidential contests,” writes William Greider in The Nation, “I cannot remember another major candidate brutalized so intensely by the media, with the possible exception of George Wallace.” May Dean take some comfort from the words of Woodrow Wilson, another “failed” idealist of American politics: “If you want to make enemies, try to change something.” Or these, from Dorothy Thompson, a Vermonter and my favorite dead pundit (as, right now, I wish all of them were): “A head that stands above the mass must expect to be removed.” Alas, words can’t cut it at a time like this, when the lies are flying so thick and free you don’t even notice that the pilots are AWOL — somewhere in Alabama, no doubt. Poetry is what the doctor ordered, oratory, verse: Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold ... “j i

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony o f innocence is drowned; The best lack all convictions, while the worst Are full o f passionate intensity ... Get this for hard-hitting news, in The New York Times, February 21 — “Mr. Likable vs. Mr. Electable.” I kid you not: ‘“Voters find Kerry aloof and distant,’ said Frank Luntz, a pollster who has con ducted focus groups for MSNBC ... ‘They find Edwards smooth and enticing. Women really find him sexy.’” Dean, by contrast, lacks “a pleasant dis position” and “consistently showed anger by pressing his lips together or tensely holding his mouth slightly open.” Says another expert, huckster, pollster, whatever: “Last fall, Kerry was showing definite signs of contempt and disgust by raising his upper lip. He’s trying to be more likable by smiling more, but rarely can he get past the social smile to the genuine smile. Edwards gets there much more often. He conveys the most optimism, and lately he’s been adding gravitas by knitting his eyebrows to show that he feels the pain of the other America.” “Gravitas,” do recall, is what Dick Cheney brought to the Bush campaign in the blessed year 2000. “Mr. Edwards learned his speaking technique from look ing into the eyes of jurors,” the Times sus pects, a trick he must have seen on TV. Most important, “He has mastered the fun damental rule of motivational speaking, which is to tell the audience that I’m one of you [and] we can all dream together.” Brother, can we! We can and we are ... we are ... we are. (Z) Email P eter at p eterk u rth @ p eterk u rth .co m

...W HEN ONE BOUNCED oFF MY BYE BALL

Dear Cecil, I often hear that there are onlyfive or six major corporations that control almost all of the U.S. media outlets, but I ’ve never seen a list. When one thinks ofAM and FM radio, network and cable television, the Internet as well as newspapers and magazines, can this really be true? General Electric, Clear Channel, Rupert Murdock and the Corporation for Pubic Broadcasting come to mind, but who else might complete the list? - A .] . Wisconsin Uh, A.J.? It’s public broadcasting, not pubic broadcasting. (Chronic problem in this business.) You’re right that the mass media are basically a playground for big corporations, but there are way more than five or six. The online list maintained by the Columbia Journalism Review currently includes 45 firms, ranging from Viacom and Time Warner to outfits most people have never heard of — e.g., A.H. Belo, owner of the Dallas Morning News. Make no mistake, these companies are huge — Belo, for one, takes in $1.4 billion a year and owns or operates eight print outlets, 20 TV stations, and 10 cable news channels. But 45 companies sharing the U.S. media pie is a lot different from slicing it up into just half a dozen pieces. Hold on, you say. Everybody knows that the companies at the very top control a disproportionate share of what mainstream America sees and hears. True up to a point. Browsing the Web, I find a colorful 2001 chart from a watchdog operation called the Media Channel that identi fies the six largest media corporations in the world. Half are American, and all have huge assets here: Time Warner (Time magazine, Warner Brothers, HBO, CNN, AOL), Disney (ABC, ESPN), Bertelsmann (Random House), Viacom (CBS, Paramount, MTV, the Infinity radio network), News Corporation (Rupert Murdoch’s vehicle: Fox TV, the New

York Post, HarperCollins), and Vivendi Universal (with labels such as Polygram and Motown, it controls a fifth of the world’s music sales). If cable giant Comcast succeeds with its $54 billion bid for Disney, it’ll be the biggest media company of them all. Let’s focus on the news gathering end of things, though, since it bears directly on the ability of American citizens to make informed choices and thus on the health of our democracy. The Big Six control three of the four major TV networks plus CNN (Vivendi is trying to combine with the fourth, NBC). But they don’t control any of the 10 largest U.S. newspaper companies. (The top three are Gannett, whose flagship is USA Today, the Tribune Company, which publishes the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times', and The New York Times Company.) Newspapers aren’t the dominant force they were 50 years ago, but they still set the national media agenda — their coverage strongly influences what decision makers think and talk about. Historically in the U.S. there’s been something of a fence between national television networks and newspa pers. What’s more, on both sides of that fence there is still a fair number of competitors duking it out — it’s not yet time to worry about the dissemination of news and opinion in the U.S. falling into the hands of a tiny corporate cabal. At the local level, though, the situation is murkier. A local media company often controls the major newspaper in a given market as well as several broadcast or cable outlets, and sometimes owns nonmedia properties like sports fran chises, too. Many fear that this concentration of ownership will impede the free flow of information, as the professors pur it. In Chicago, for example, the Tribune Company owns the largest newspaper as well as WGN TV, WGN radio and the Cubs baseball team. Lately the Cubs have been trying to extend the bleachers at Wrigley Field, increase the number of night games, and come to terms with neighboring property owners, who charge fans to watch Cubs games from rooftop decks. These are matters of bitter controversy, and some think coverage thereof in the Tribune has been suspiciously restrained. The Tribunes public editor, Don Wycliff, denies any top-down meddling, and I believe him — but it’s not unreasonable to wonder if every big media company is equally principled. Local media consolidation can also bring other prob lems. For instance, the pressure to cut costs that comes with centralized ownership 6ften means fewer reporters and less local news coverage. Civic groups are still railing against the recent relaxation of federal rules that limit companies’ abili ty to own both newspapers and TV stations in the same market, but the issue has yet to galvanize the public at large. Let’s hope people wake up. If TV broadcasters and newspa pers merge at a national scale and the nightly news, the cable guy, and the Daily Bugle all start sporting mouse ears, I for one am going to get a little freaked.

staff. She told Seven Days, “It looks like Rush Limbaugh and Matt Drudge have cleared out a little room in their gutter for our friends in the Vermont Republican Party.” Good point, eh, Mad Dog? The Eyes Have It — Suspended Burlington Eye Doc David Chase finally got some “good” press last week. His defense team at Sheehy Furlong & Behm P.C. filed a motion with the Medical Practice Board to reinstate his license and dismiss the charges against him. Dr. Voodoo Eye’s one-man St. Paul Street eye factory closed down last summer after the state charged he’d been performing unnecessary cataract surgeries. In December, the attorney general’s office filed a 127-count complaint with the Medical Practice Board. Chase’s motion got good play in the local media. He claimed “unethical conduct” by the state. He also alleged one witness, a for mer employee, claimed her sworn statement contained words she had never uttered. Assistant Attorney General Joe Winn declined com ment. Bright and early, the day after the Freeps’ story broke, a “50ishlooking” woman arrived at Seven Days with a package. Only a cou ple of staffers were present. The woman deposited a fresh Hannaford’s pumpkin pie on the front desk. The word “Humble” was written on top in whipped cream. And there was a note. The note read: “This is for Peter Peckerhead from Dr. Voodoo *v Eyes’ adoring,^respectful and „ pissed-off patients. We hope Pecker will give as much coverage of fact as he has fiction.” It was signed “Yvonne C.” Never look a gift pie in the eye, folks. On Friday we picked up a copy of the document package Dr. Voodoo Eyes’ lawyers had earlier released to the Free Press. Over the weekend we went through it page by page. Our non-professional analysis is that Chase’s lawyers are throwing everything and the kitchen sink at the wall in hopes something — anything — sticks. The motion to reinstate Chase’s license, we’d sug gest, is a desperate attempt to make Dr. Voodoo Eyes and his supporters momentarily feel good. You see, the conventional wis dom is that a doctor wrongly charged would want his case tried as soon as possible rather than postpone the inevitable with delay ing tactics and diversionary motions like the one filed last week. Attorney Winn declined to comment because he does not intend to fight the case in the press. He doesn’t have to. He told Seven Days this week the state will file its response next Tuesday. Interesting that Chase’s lawyers only attached a portion of former employee Amy Landry’s deposi tion to their motion. Landry is their lynchpin. She worked for Chase for 11 months. While the claim is that her signed statement isn’t accurate, it appears to us that investigator Phil Ciotti merely paraphrased Amy Landry’s remarks. Interesting, too, that the docu

ments show Landry corrected her original statement saying Dr. Voodoo Eyes steered all patients over 35 toward cataract surgery. Actually, said Landry, it was all patients over 45. That’s not the kind of evidence that will get Dr. Chase’s license reinstated. In fact, this week Seven Days found more evidence backing up the state’s case. Veteran local radio broadcaster Joel Najman told Seven Days that when his eye doctor retired two years ago, he visited Dr. Chase. Joel is known to many listeners from his years on local Burlington radio. But he’s known statewide, too, as the Saturday night host/producer of VPR’s brilliant 1950s rock ’n roll show, “My Place.” At Najman’s first appointment, Chase quickly informed him he had cataracts and needed immedi ate surgery. Like anyone else, Naj man believed what a doctor told him. But something didn’t feel right. He told us he had checked around and picked up information about Chase from friends and col leagues that made him have second thoughts. Several days later, Najman canceled. His cancellation of surgery at Chase’s assembly-line-style eye fac tory did not sit well with the good doctor. Dr. Chase called Najman at home and told him to “get over here. You should have the surgery.” Najman refused. Dr. Chase was unique in that he owned his operating room. He had time slots to fill. The state has shown that even as his patient load dropped, his cataract surgeries remained steady. Money in the bank, as they say. Six months later, Najman went to a different doctor for an eye exam. He was relieved to learn he did not need cataract surgery. “I really feel I dodged a bullet,” said Joel. “I thank my lucky stars.” That’s the kind of evidence Dr. Chase’s legal team has yet to address. Can’t wait. The Bloody Third — The hot race in Burlap on Town Meeting Day is the battle for a City Coun cil seat in Ward 3, an area that includes downtown and a big chunk of the Old North End. Incumbent Progressive Phil Fierm onte is seeking a third term. Phil’s a former union organ izer currently serving as Rep. Bernie Sanders’ Vermont direc tor. He’s in a head-to-head battle with Democrat Lynn Mesick. Since no Republican “spoiler” is running this time, Ward 3 Democrats smell blood. Make no mistake — Dems and Progs may be cozy-comfy outside of Burlington, but in city politics, as in Ireland, grudges never die. “The leadership in the Democratic Party,” claims Phil, “is targeting me.” He points to a mailing endorsed by Rep. John Tracy, City Councilor Andy Montroll and Gov-Lite candidate Jan Backus. He wonders why Dems are putting so much “time and energy” into defeating him, since his agenda is pretty similar to that of many Democrats. Here’s one possibility. John Tracy hasn’t been sheepish about his interest in succeeding born-again-Democrat Mayor

On the Progressive side, Fiermonte currently looks like a frontrunner for the Prog mayoral nod. Perhaps, Tracy & Co. think now’s the time to strike. Better to take Fiermonte out sooner rather than later, eh? Next Tuesdays vote in Ward 3 is about much more than one City Council seat. For the Progs, it’s all about the future.

Douglas Confused? — Gov. Douglas confirmed our suspicions last week on a key part of his reelection strategy. It’s a tried-andtrue, two-pronged approach. GOP state Chair James Barnett will play bad cop. Gov. Aw Shucks will play good cop. We noted last week that Barnett has taken up the red-baiting cudg el, labeling Democrat Peter Clavelle a “socialist.” Put a cigar in Moonie’s mouth and khakis on his back and you’ve got another Fidel Castro, eh? But when asked if he agreed with his party’s state chairman, the Gov quickly distanced himself from Mad Dog’s red-baiting bark. “I’m going to let the chairman speak for himself,” said Douglas. “I’m going to keep talking about what’s important to me and the future of the state.” But Governor, we asked, “Do you think Peter Clavelle, the Democratic challenger, is really a socialist?” “My announced opponent,” t „ replied Gov. Aw Shucks, “seems to be having some difficulty determin ing what party he belongs to. So I’m not sure anybody really knows.” Cute.

A Real Keeper — Kudos to WCAX-TV for “Howard Dean — Full Circle,” a brilliant 24-minute documentary of Ho-Ho’s amazing presidential quest. It ran Sunday in the “You Can Quote Me” time slot. All the drama, the high points and the low, were captured in a video package that we think many Vermont Deaniacs would treasure. This one folks, is a keeper. It was produced by Sera Congi with help from a talented team composed of Joe Carroll (a.k.a. Mr. Congi), Adam Blair and Christine Hinkel. Sera told Seven Days they start ed working on the project when Ho-Ho announced he’d drop out if victory eluded him in Wisconsin. 4 hen Dean changed his mind, but Congi’s crew kept at it. Turned out their timing was perfect. The “Full Circle documentary was ready last week, the day after Ho-Ho official ly dropped out. According to News Director Marselis Parsons, folks can pur chase copies of the video by calling the station at 658-6300. It’ll cost about $30,” he said. That’s a little steep, eh? It’s not the Superbowl. We suggest Ch. 3 start advertising the video (in Seven Days?) and lower the price to $19.99.

hen Jill McManus moved to Burlington from California three years ago, she had only the seed qf an idea for her own line of jewelry. But first, she wanted to find a unique style of pendant that would set her creations apart from those of her competi tors. “I thought, ‘How about those round, spiky things on the back of a riding spur? They have holes in the middle of them,’” McManus recounts. “I didn’t even know what they were called.” McManus eventually found someone who makes the “spur rowels” — a 76-yearold retired cowboy in west Texas who hand-works them from steel. The rowels were just what McManus needed to get her business rolling. Today, her Toluca Brand of necklaces, bracelets and earrings are sold in stores in Burlington, New York, Dallas and Los Angeles, as well as over the Internet. Her

But McManus, who just turned 30, also admits that her jewelry business might never have taken off if not for the skills she learned from the Women’s Small Business Program. The 15-week course for women interested in starting their own businesses was launched 15 years ago by Trinity College and Burlington’s Community and Economic Development Office. It helps participants draw up a business plan, research their customer base, make financial projections, manage their cash flow, and so on. The program has given wing to the entrepreneurial dreams of hundreds of Vermonters. Along with nurturing ideas, WSBP incubates an informal network of female business owners who continue to support each other beyond the classroom.

jewelry has been featured in Cowboys and Indians magazine — “It’s sort of like Coastal Living for ranchers in Montana,” she explains. It was also worn on television by Robin Roberts, a news anchor on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Recently, a member of the band ZZ Top saw McManus’ jewelry in a Los Angeles boutique and liked it so much, he asked if he could take her Toluca Brand sign on tour. “It’s getting out there,” McManus says modestly. “I’m having fun with it.”

Though none of these women had had formal business training before enrolling in the program, all went on to launch suc cessful small businesses, including a women’s clothing store, a floral shop, a line of children’s clothing, another jewelry busi ness and a gourmet food-delivery service. “I think back to the first day of class with all of us just sitting there with our

notebooks, kind of shy, with nothing at all but a bunch of ideas,” recalls Rachel Strules, another 2003 graduate of WSBP. Within months of com pleting the course, she opened Sweet Lady Jane, a Church Street boutique that sells womens clothing and accessories — including jewelry made by McManus and their classmate, Lisa Cutler. Cutler, who had worked as a full-time psychiatric nurse before going into business for herself, says she was impressed by the instructors’ distinctly female-oriented approach to learning. “It was very nurturing and very supportive,” Cutler says. “No question was too stu pid and we were never poohpoohed.” One of their first exercises, she recalls, helped students get a clearer idea of the kinds of busi nesses they wanted to start. The first day, I remember going around the room and everyone talking about what they wanted to do,” Cutler says. One woman wanted to teach T ai Chi to senior citizens, but it turned out she had never even taken a T ai Chi class herself. Which is kind of like inventing the wheel and then saying, ‘I want to build cars,’” Cutler notes. Doris Adams is the planning and program director for Mercy Connections, the nonprofit that now runs the Women’s Small business Program. A course instructor and small-business owner herself, Adams says she’s not surprised that her students have maintained lasting profes

sional and personal relationships after the course is completed. “Were not exclusively for women, but it is a community, women-centered approach to learning,” she explains. “We really invite people to come together and be co-learners. It’s really all about building that sense of relationships and bring ing people together where they become a rich resource for each other.”

C O M E T O T H E W A I T I N G R O O M IN M A R C H Unlike earlier generations of female entrepreneurs, who often had more trouble getting bank loans and securing lines of cred it, women today have far more access to capital and formal business training, Adams says. In fact, women-owned business es are now the fastest-growing sector of the U.S. economy, con tributing nearly $2.3 trillion in annual revenues, according to the Center for Women’s Business Research. It’s estimated that one in every 11 American women now owns a business. Vermont had roughly 19,000 women-owned businesses in 2002 (including this newspa per), employing nearly 20,000 people. And that number appears to be growing more rap idly than the national average, with the state’s women-owned businesses generating nearly $2 billion in sales each year. These days, the obstacles to women going into business for themselves tend to be more per sonal than institutional, Adams explains. “Many women grow up with the fear o f finances and »

money,” she says. “And that’s one of the most amazing things that happens in this course, that, ‘Gee, this isn’t as frightening as I thought. I can really do this.’” Increasingly, WSBP gradu ates are going into businesses not considered stereotypically “female.” They have included carpenters, sign makers, a stone mason ahd a distributor of personal-fitness equipment, according to Adams. That said, virtually all the businesses springing from the program remain small, at least according to the federal defini tion: fewer than 500 employ ees. But that trend doesn’t concern Adams. “W hat we found is that women tend to piece together various income streams, like a patchwork model,” she says. Part of WSBP’s appeal is that it teach es students to tailor their busi nesses to fit into their personal lives and career aspirations, says Adams. Shortly after completing the 2003 class, Amy Livingston opened Queen City Cuisine, a home-cooked food delivery business, despite the fact that she had never cooked profes sionally nor even worked in the food-service industry. Queen City Cuisine pre pares, packages and delivers meals to people who are homebound or too busy to cook. W hat Livingston likes abovit her “very part-time” enterprise is that she can work at home and grow the business at her own pace. “I’ve heard people say that’s why a lot of small businesses fail, because they grow too big too fast,” Livingston says. “I wanted to keep it small. I’m not a huge risk-taker in general.” Likewise, Cutler’s part-time jewelry business, Aurora Beadwork, allows her to work at home as well as part-time as a nurse, without sacrificing precious hours with her 18year-old son. “It’s very difficult to have a full-time job and a family and then do the busi ness on top of that,” she says. Both Cutler and Livingston report that their former class mates have given them tremendous encouragement and creative feedback in their work. “We’re sort of each other’s cheerleaders,” says Livingston. “They’re honest with me, but in a very sup portive way.” Strules agrees. While she sells her classmates’ jewelry at Sweet Lady Jane, McManus partner set up a website for the store. Occasionally, the women’s monthly meetings address substantive issues, such as how to deal with customers or establishing a legal trade mark. Other get-togethers, though, provide an emotional shot in the arm. “It’s good for a little push, because I definitely have lulls,” says McManus. “And sometimes we just get together and drink wine. ®

n the aerobics room at my local gym, I practice side hurdlers and toe touches in front of the mirrored walls. My feet push off the ground and I swing my arms around, pull with my abs and whip my STORY legs up and out. I rise only a pathetic inch G A B R I E L L E or two off the floor before crashing down, S A L E R N O landing with my sneakers sloppily separat ed. People from outside peek in periodi cally to see what all the thudding and groaning is about. This isn’t the first time I’ve prepared for a cheerleading tryout. For more than 14 years, that was my sport. And though I’ve been away from it for five years, I’m still ecstatic about cheering, and for good reason: I’m seeking a coaching position.

My early cheerleading training served me well, teaching me the difference between a clap and a clasp and how to forcefully “snap” and “punch” high-V and low-V motions instead of merely striking poses. But it wasn’t until my family moved to Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, when I was 14 and began to attend public school, that my skills really soared. Unrestricted by church rules, I pushed off the shoulders of my bases — the girls responsible for hold ing me high in the air — and soared above their heads in a stunt called an extension. At the end of the season, we soon-tobe-freshmen fought fiercely for three cov eted positions on the high school’s junior-

Most people assume that a 23-year-old female who still wants to yell, tumble and jump around in tiny shorts must be an obnoxiously spunky airhead. But you can’t judge a cheerleader by her body glitter. My introduction to the world of cheer leading came when I was 9 years old and a proud member of the “Comets” in Alton Park, Pennsylvania. I joined the youth recreation squad mostly because my friends made it look so alluring when they practiced their spread-eagle jumps at recess. I sported my blue-and-white pleat ed skirt and shook my plastic pom-poms with pride. But being a cheerleader involved more than that. I learned to move my prepubescent body, maximize my mousy voice, captivate a crowd and contribute to a team. A year later I was old enough to join my Catholic elementary school’s squad. The strict regulations of the Catholic Youth Organization required that we keep one foot on the ground at all times and that our conservative red-and-white skirts graze the tops of our knees. Maybe it was some kind of subconscious rebellion, but I once showed up to cheer at a basketball game having “forgotten” to wear my bloomers under my skirt.

varsity squad. Hard work and a natural knack for the sport earned me the spot on the squad and made me the envy of my peers. But the glory was short lived. Within a few weeks, gruel ing summer practices began. Under the hot sun, we worked ourselves to physical and mental exhaustion, preparing to attend a four-day National Cheerleading Association camp at Millersville University. We threw up” difficult stunts and came crashing down on top of one another. Elbows slammed into heads, heads collided with noses, noses bled. Again and again, we tried to get our stunts to stick. Our arms and legs ached. Bases were bruised. Flyers were frustrated. Somehow, though, by the time we left for camp, we were looking polished and poised. At Millersville Unive was tough to rise at six : morning and stay “P-SE-D until 10 at night, was inspiring to be sum by so many other youn^ who shared my passion excitement for the sport working hard, we goofe< and cheered up injured trated teammates with c don-paper megaphones.

Cheerleading was still as much about making friends and earn ing team-spirit awards as it was about winning trophies.

My p rio rities changed in high school. As my skills developed, I began to care less about socializ ing and more about taking cheerleading seriously. Not everyone saw it this way. Many of the girls on my squad — types who wore Daisy Duke short shorts and grooved to Jock Jams — wasted valuable practice time revealing their crushes on various football players. I wore daisies in my hair, didn’t shave my legs for an entire season, grooved to Phish — and could barely name half the guys on the team. Our divergent tastes in fash ion, music and boys mirrored the contrasting ways we began to view cheerleading. Many of my squadmates appeared perfectly happy simply to support our schools male athletes. It seemed to bring them a sense of fulfill ment to prepare for a big game by decorating the boys’ lockers and buying them bags of candy. I wondered what their problem was. Why weren’t we using that time to perfect our routines? . » *1 •

Why was I spending money on a guy I hardly knew, and why did n’t the players ever reciprocate when we cheerleaders were head ing off for our own competitions? Despite what some of my teammates and most of society thought, I believed cheerleading was for and about the cheerlead ers. Even at football games, when I knew perfectly well that the crowd was primarily there to watch the boys on the field, I always felt as if it was actually our show. Was our team winning or losing? I didn’t care; I'd just performed the best dance of my life. By senior year, I couldn’t take my teammates’ ultra-girly idio syncrasies any longer. I began bailing out on squad sleepovers and pizza parties. But I still gave it my all at practices, games and competitions. I was determined to prove that you can be a cheer leader and earn respect as an intelligent, hard-working female. W hen our school’s administra tion finally considered us ’ath letes” enough to allow us to par ticipate at the National Cheer leading Association competition in Dallas, I considered it a huge victory,

Vermont, I was disappointed My nearly nightly condition that the school didn’t have a ing routine consisted of 100 squad.

thirties, a few a bit older than that. I’m surprised that the majority of them jeans. How can they jump in jeans? I’m sporting my “CHEER” shorts, which leave my chalkywhite legs on display for all to gawk at. But at least I look like a coach. When the pro gram coordinators ask who is ready to perform, I’m proud to be the only one to pipe up. They tell me I don’t have to exhibit my routine, but there’s no way I’m going to let all my hard work go to waste. “Ready,” I begin, then pause. “Check us out, stand up and shout,” I belt boister ously, punching out sharp motions. I execute my jumps with good height, full exten sion, pointed toes and clean landings. With just a slight motion mess-up, I finish the cheer with a victorious leftlunge. After nailing the tryout and getting the job, my next challenge is to choreograph cheers, dances and stunts for 40-some kids, ages 4 tol4. For inspiration, I attend a •> regional competition at Essex High School. I’m not expecting much; the farther north you travel, the less developed the sport seems to be. But the sight of 36 squads battling it out on the blue spring-floor shocks me, and the fans squished shoulder-to-shoulder on the wooden bleachers show me that Vermont has caught the spirit. The squads that usually stick to the gym’s sidelines take center court tonight and elicit screams from the crowd with their technical, highenergy routines. During one number, three cheerleaders entice the fans with signs that read “G O ,” “FIG H T ” and "WIN.” The crowd reacts in a sort of mass hysteria. Still, not everyone gets it. Over fast-paced, bass-thump ing music I hear a girl behind me complain to her father, I’ve been with cheerleaders all day. Cheerleaders. Loud, annoying, girly, screaming, laughing, curling-their-hair, squirting-hairspray-in-youreye cheerleaders.” I laugh. There is some truth to her generalizations, I think, remembering the Bring It On types I resented on my high school squad. But looking beyond the bouncing ringlet ponytails and sparkling body glitter, I see athletes here try ing to win and to have fun trying, and I can’t wait to be a part of it all over again. ®

A STORY

CATH Y RESM ER IMAGE

ANDY DUBACK

t 5-foot-1, with her bifocals and short gray hair, Sister Miriam Ward may look diminutive and benign. But don’t be fooled. The 78-year-old nun has been a determined peace activist since the early 1980s. She has spoken out against everything from govern ment brutality in El Salvador to nuclear weapons to the Iraq War, parts I and II. Her bright blue eyes often flash with righteous indignation — especially when she’s talking about the Palestinians, which she could do for hours. Ward, who belongs to the Sisters of Mercy, was a religion professor at Trinity College until the school closed in 1999. She now teaches part-time at St. Michael’s and lives in Burlington’s New North End — on, appropriately, Cross Parkway — with Marmete Hayes, a fellow member of the Christian peace group Pax Christi. The suburban home, which Hayes idler fousband un'til^ft,

death, serves as headquarters for Pax Christi’s Burlington chapter. Sitting in the living room, where a cross with a dove hangs on the wall and copies of The Nation are piled neatly on a table, Ward discusses her frequent visits to the Middle East. When asked if she’s ever seen any violence in her travels, Ward’s answer is as polite as it is chilling. “Oh my, yes,” she says, recalling an incident she witnessed several years ago in Jerusalem. “There was this young Palestinian kid, probably 14, 15 years of age walking in front of me,” she explains. “He was so skinny, he was very thin. He was walking along, and there were four soldiers who stopped him, and they started questioning him, and they started kicking him. Each one took turns with their heavy boots, kicking him .” Ward says she got out a map, pre tending to be lost. “I had the map up in front of me, but I was looking out

over it, to see, to really witness, what was going on,” she says. “Finally I just decided, ‘I can’t stand here any longer.’ So I walked right up to them.” Ward claims that when she reached the soldiers, they let the boy go. But in her mind, the damage had already been done. “As he went up the hill,” she says, “he turned around and looked back, and I said to myself, ‘That is the making of a terrorist.’ T hat’s what went through my mind. Because that kid looked back, and in his eyes was ‘I’ll get even with you guys.’” For Ward, the anecdote stops there, a snapshot of injustice with an attractive, black-and-white moral clar ity. But for many Israelis and their American allies, the story continues when the terrorist boards a bus or _ enters a nightclub wearing a bomb. Ward rarely speaks of suicide bombers or the damage they cause, an omis sion that often angers her critics. Even

so, her willingness to stand up for her beliefs has earned her respect.

Though W ard gladly sp eak s a t length about various causes, she’s clearly uncomfortable discussing her personal life. It just doesn’t seem as important to her as giving voice to the voiceless. But her journey from small-town Vermont girl to interna tional activist reveals important clues about her uncompromising style. And it’s one heck of a story. Ward was born in New York State and moved with her parents and sib lings to Proctor, Vermont, when she was an infant. Although Proctor is a small town, during the 1920s and ’30s, when Ward was growing up, it resembled a kind of global village. “On my street there were Portuguese, Swedish, Polish, Hungarian and Irish... and Italian,” recalls Ward, whose great-grandparents came from

Ireland. Many of those recent immigrants worked in the mar ble industry. Their ethnic differ ences could sometimes cause tension among the neighbor hood kids, but Ward’s mother would scold her and her eight siblings if they caused any trou ble. “My mother was always for the underdog,” the nun remem bers. “When the kids would start saying, oh this ethnic group is better than that one, she’d say, 'You say you’re an American, and don’t get into the Irish and the Polish.’” Ward was 11 when her moth er died. Because her father was a railroad man, the children were farmed out to relatives — Ward and a younger brother to an aunt and uncle, who also lived in Proctor. They later moved to Middlebury, where Ward met some Sisters of Mercy. She joined the religious order when she was 17 — a common prac tice then, though the rules have since changed. Contemporary postulants must complete col lege, or have the equivalent life experience. “Well I didn’t have any kind of a direct revelation from God to call me to be a nun, no,” she reflects. “I just always wanted to belong to a religious order... I could see all the things you could do that you couldn’t do alone. And that’s proven to be true.” Through the convent, Ward completed her Bachelors degree

*§*

at Trinity in 1955, and taught in Catholic elementary and high schools in Montpelier, Burling ton and Barre. Though it wasn’t until 15 years later that Ward became involved in “activist” causes, like many other nuns, she was already working with kids outside of the classroom. When she taught at Christ the King school in Burlington, she found clothes and shoes to dress the poorer students, and ministered to their families. “We always visited the homes for any death in the family, any illness,” she says. “There are many more ways of dealing than just in the classroom.” When Ward went to a stu dent’s house in the 1950s, she wasn’t allowed to walk alone; before the Vatican II council loosened restrictions on clothing and behavior in the early 60s, nuns were required to travel in pairs. Regulations also still mandat ed that nuns wear habits — for years, Ward even wore one when she coached high school girls’ basketball in the 1950s. Ward admits that, though she’s thank ful for all the other changes, she found it hard to break the habit habit. “I was probably one of the last ones to take it off when I was teaching at Trinity,” she says. “It was just more conven* ^» tent. In response to that sartorial freedom, Ward has created a sort of uniform for herself. “I have four basic suits and that’s all I

wear,” she reports. Right now she’s dressed in a blue shirt and sweater, a wool skirt and sensible black shoes. Around her neck she wears a blue porcelain cross pendant that resembles a dove, and on her finger the silver band all nuns wear, symbolizing that they’re brides of Christ.

As re stric tiv e as i t was in many ways, convent life offered opportunities that Ward might not have had as a civilian. In 1960 she completed her Master’s in Theology at Providence College in Rhode Island, and five years later she finished her Ph.D. in Religion at the University of Ottawa. Through her university work, Ward met scholars who invited her to visit the Middle East to see firsthand the sites she had studied. She eventually traveled there with a Lutheran minister from Ohio, who encouraged her to run her own trips as a way to cover her expenses. In 1971, she began leading pilgrimage and study tours to Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Greece, Italy and Turkey. She’s since conducted 27 tours, and has continued her own stud ies at Hebrew Union College in Jerusalem, Bir Zeit University in the West Bank, the University of Aleppo, Syria, and the Univer sity of Chicago. “My sister says, ‘Join the convent and see the world!”’ she jokes.

Ward first began to compre hend the modern conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians in 1973. “I went over one summer and did an archaeological survey of the Galilee,” says the nun, “and so that was supposedly strictly bib lical, but in doing that you’re rubbing elbows with all kinds of people, and you get to see what’s going on there on the ground.” She cites that firsthand perspec tive, as well as her mother’s les sons about sticking up for the underdog, as reasons why she eventually began speaking out against the Israeli occupation. She also credits her in-depth study of the Bible. In 1965, after finishing her dissertation, Ward began teaching both the Old and the New Testament at Trinity. “You can’t study the prophets of the Old Testament w ithout... getting into justice issues,” she says. “I mean, that’s what they were doing. We think of people who prophesy as pre dicting the future, but they were really pronouncing on the pres ent, their present.” In the early 1980s, Ward started pronouncing on her pres ent. She helped found Pax Christi Burlington, which addresses justice issues through a faith perspective. She also joined

“And this has happened,” Ward continues. “Women have given birth in the most horren dous situations. Babies have died afterwards at the checkpoints. All of these controls over Pale stinian life, it’s nothing short of destroying the entire fabric of their society.”

These charges d o n 't s it w ell with Rabbi Joshua Chasan of Burlington’s Ohavi Zedek Synagogue. He claims that Ward is not telling the whole truth. “I like Sister Miriam,” he says in a phone interview. “Sometimes she scares the hell out of me. I don’t think her views about the Middle East are fair. They are terribly one-sided.” But Ward insists that she is motivated by concern for Jews as well as Palestinians. She believes that ending the occupa tion is in the best interest of both parties and is the only way to stop the mounting violence. “W hat they’re doing is not as bad as what was done to them in the Holocaust,” she says. “No way.” But at one point, Ward seems to compare the two. Speaking about an Israeli settler attack on a Palestinian village, she likens the event to Kristallnacht, the infamous 1939 Nazi

response to Ward’s March 19 op-ed: “Once again we were treated to a Sister Miriam Ward diatribe against her favorite ene mies — Israel and die Jewish people.” * But Ward’s supporters argue that she is courageous for speak ing her mind. “Ive just always

admired her so much for her willingness to stand up for her beliefs,” says David Conrad, a retired University o f Vermont professor who has known Ward for 30 years. His first memory o f her is seeing her on a tractor; Conrad points out that in addi tion to her other interests, Ward was the chief gardener o f Mount St. Marys two-acre vegetable plot, and the founder o f the Mt. St. Marys Community Garden on Mansfield Ave, When Conrad and Ed Everts interviewed 10 peace activists for a Chittenden County Historical Society oral-history project last year, Ward was one o f their picks. “She was an obvi ous choice,” Conrad says,

Kimberly Ead, director of the Peace and Human Rights Project at the Peace and Justice Center in Burlington, calls Ward a “fireball” and an inspiration. “Sister Miriam is one of the hardest-working women I know on social-justice issues,” Ead

Eugene Korn, a former director of Interfaith Relations at the AntiDefamation League, called Ward’s moral reasoning “twisted.”

the Interreligious Task Force on Central America, and she trav eled to El Salvador and Hon duras as part of a human rights delegation. But her passion has always been the Middle East. Ward is currently focused pri marily on the controversial bar rier the Israelis are building, ostensibly as a defense against suicide bombers. The Israelis call it a “security fence;” Ward and other activists sympathetic to the Palestinian cause — includ ing those in Vermonters for a Just Peace in Palestine/Israel, an organization she helped found in 2001 — call it “the Apartheid Wall.” “Why should there be a check point between this Palestinian vil lage to this one?” she asks rhetori cally. “And not just a checkpoint, a roadblock, where there’s heaps of rubble piled up so that no vehicular traffic can go through. So no ambulances can go through. If you have an ambu lance that can get from this Palestinian village up to this road block, then they’ve gotta take that patient out, carry the patient across the rubble into another ambulance... And then they can get to a checkpoint where the sol diers can say, ‘Unh-unh, you can’t go.’ And the person can die.

pogrom in which 26,000 Jews were arrested and sent to con centration camps. Chasan concedes that Ward has good intentions. “I think Sister Miriam considers herself a friend of the Jewish people,” he says, “and there are some Jews in town who are passionate co workers with her.” Chasan even echoes Ward’s own comments about the biblical prophets. “She bears prophetic witness in her own way,” he says. But, Chasan continues, “I think that it’s compromised by her one-sided approach to pain in the Middle East... Being a little bit of a lightning rod myself, I can empathize with her, but I would tell you just the same that sometimes she makes me wonder if my people are as worthy as other people.” Chasan’s concerns are fre quently repeated on the editorial pages of publications when Ward writes one of her countless op-eds or letters to the editor. In a letter to the National Catholic Reporter, Eugene Korn, a former director of Interfaith Relations at the Anti-Defamation League, called Ward’s moral reasoning “twisted.” And last April, in a letter to the local daily, a South Burlington man wrote this in

says. She admits that Ward’s style is “direct, blunt and uncompromising,” but argues that the issue merits an uncom promising approach. “We as Americans and global citizens cannot compromise on human rights for anyone,” she suggests. But Ead also attests to Ward’s kinder, gentler side. When Ead’s group hosted a Palestinian speaker, Ward invited both women over for tea and cookies. “She’s not only issue-oriented,” says Ead, “She really cares about other people.” Ward doesn’t get caught up in the debate over her style. She just moves on, These days she’s likely to be found answering email, doing a Power Point pres entation, or operating the cam era during the Vermonters for a Just Peace weekly public-access television show. She’s also writ ing a book about her experi ences, though she says it will be a record not o f her life, but of the fight for justice in which she’s taken part, “If Amos were around today

— Amos was known as the Shepherd from Tekoa, right out side of Bethlehem — and he could see what was going on,” she says, “he would be denounc ing it.” (7)

M A TTH EW TH O RSEN

t happens to every woman after the age of 30, sometimes sooner: You wake up one morning and look in the mirror, and there it is — your first wrinkle. More time goes by and you see crow’s feet, little lines around the mouth, maybe fissures in the cheeks, especially if you’re a diehard sunbather and/or a smoker. Soon your reflec tion begins to inspire troubling questions: How long have I had those bags under my eyes? When did my face begin to sag? And — ew! — where did that extra flesh under my chin come from? Sure, this happens to men, too, but I have yet to meet one who’ll admit he cares. For all of us, youth passes much too quickly. And if you’re old enough to real ize that, you can be forgiven for clandes tinely searching the Internet for the price of a facelift. You might scoff at Botoxinjecting celebrities, but you begin to feel their pain, too. Fending off visible signs of aging may be in part an act of despera tion, a Finger in the dike against impend ing mortality. But to women in particular, for whom appearance carries such freight, it’s also about dealing with the cruel reper cussions of fading beauty. Everyone knows Americans worship youth. Models are young, thin and dewyskinned. Actresses over the age of 40 can’t get decent roles except as someone’s moth

er or a crazy person. Meanwhile, male actors with real-life grandchildren are rou tinely romantically paired on-screen with twentysomething women. Tsk-tsk as we might, filmmakers — most likely male — continue to find this acceptable. A silent hallelujah rose up among women of a certain age when Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton took to each other in the recent Somethings Gotta Give. At last, we rejoiced, an age-appropriate relationship! Still, no one expected a press release from Hollywood saying, “We have seen the light and from now on all women regardless of age may be considered desir able.” No one expects Jack and Diane to be anything but a celluloid fluke. So far, Something’s Gotta Give is but a blip on the screen compared to the reassuring maturi ty of European films — and real life, too, we’re told — where even young men find older women attractive. Those little wrin kles are evidence of experience, which is way sexy. O f course, it’s not only movie stars who suffer the indignities of age. A fortysome thing friend of mine speaks for lots of us when she says she’s starting to feel invisi ble. “Men don’t look at me anymore,” she complains. She had taken it for granted they would always open doors, or at least sneak peeks at her boobs. Not that she, or

counsel of one person in town who routinely improves the looks, health and self-esteem of aging women: Dr. Robert Gordon, cosmetic dermatologist. I figured that, like a therapist, he must be privy, and sympa thetic, to all the insecurities a woman could have, at least as relate to her face.

Gordon, a B u rlin g to n n ativ e who went to college and medical school at the University of Vermont, has been in the der matology field for 30 years, focusing on cosmetic specialties for the last 10. The thousands of patient files lining a wall in his South Burlington office suggest that even notoriously “natural” Green Mountain women suffer the slings and arrows of vanity. But this is an idea Gordon vigorously contradicts. “A col league once said this about vani ty ” he tells me: “‘If someone is doing something to look better than someone else, that’s vanity. Doing it to look better for your selfis healthy.’” Most women do seek cosmet ic treatments to feel better about themselves, Gordon claims, and

ing this archaeological intrusion will turn up evidence of my sun screen diligence. Imagine my surprise when I see instead clusters of those old freckles still lurking beneath the surface. They’re not really dan gerous, I’m told — unless they decide to glom together some day and have a melanoma party. Yikes. Humbled, I turn with sincere interest to the other demonstra tions. One is truly superficial — cosmetologist Judy Bourn is applying “permanent” makeup, in this case eyeliner, to a woman’s upper and lower lids. I have to admit it looks damn good, enhancing the woman’s bright blue eyes. Bourn clearly has a steady hand and an artist’s eye, but the thought of a needle that close to my eyeballs kind of freaks me out. Not nearly as much, though, as the hypodermic injections of Restalane that Gordon is admin istering to another woman’s face in a nearby room. The “model” is lovely; it’s hard to guess her age, but the tiny lines around her mouth suggest over-40. Those lines practically disappear before our eyes as the chemical

the sun, were soft and smooth,” he says. “So it’s not just about chronology.” So what are we to do? Revert to 1920s-style beach cover-ups? Not gonna happen. Most sensi ble women these days use sun screen. Possessing fair, Anglo skin that doesn’t tan, I slather myself with the highest SPF I can find whenever I spend time outdoors. That said, pretty much all of us ran around sans sunscreen when we were kids — hell, the stuff wasn’t even invent ed when I was a freckle-faced tot. Older girls were using baby oil or some other greasy product to help tan their hides. But I am dismayed to learn that, no mat ter how conscientious I’ve been as an adult, those carefree child hood days took their toll. This discovery comes on a recent Wednesday evening when I attend a seminar at Dr. Gordon’s office — the Center for Cosmetic & Medical Dermatology. First he gives a short slide lecture explaining a few of the procedures he offers: the latest in facials, chemical peels, injections, laser resurfac ing, liposuction, the works. No facelifts here, though — you

that’s a good thing, because, he insists, “If someone came in and said she wanted liposuction because her husband didn’t like the shape of her body, I would n’t do it.” Belying his Western medical education, Gordon is a firm believer in the mind-body con nection, and is convinced that if a woman dislikes what she sees in the mirror every day, that unhappiness will erode her self esteem and ultimately her physi cal health. Moreover, he’s inter ested not just in enhancing beauty but also in encouraging overall wellness. “For example, if someone wants a skin treatment and they smoke,” he says, “I tell them they have to quit smoking. If you don’t look at lifestyle,” Gordon adds, “you’re missing the boat.” Women who haven’t kicked cigarette butts are far more likely to see their skin age quickly. Unmitigated stress doesn’t do your face any favors, either. But enemy number one, of course, is exposure to the sun. Gordon likes to give the example of a 78-year-old client who had spent her life happily soaking up rays. As a result, her skin was leathery and severely wrinkled. “But her breasts and buttocks, which had been protected from

have to go to a plastic surgeon for that. Gordon emphasizes that he favors the least invasive procedures possible to achieve the desired results. And “there’s no magic bullet that does everything,” he notes. “Everyone’s needs are different — so are their budgets.” Indeed. The procedure least invasive to your pocketbook is micro-der mabrasion — a sort of exfolia tion that removes dead skin cells (who knew they were still lying around?) — at $120 a pop. Ditto something called an Oxygen Facial. Liposuction and a “FotoFacial program” — a non-surgical facelift — start at $2500. Some 30 women and one game husband are in attendance; Gordon has told me earlier that his practice includes about 5 percent men, compared to 30 percent nationally who seek cos metic treatments. We’re then invited to wander around and observe the demon strations. One of the first options is getting your face pho tographed with a special Polaroid camera. Using ultravio let light, it magically penetrates your epidermis to reveal the amount of sun damage under neath. I offer my face to the camera with confidence, assum-

plumps up the woman’s “oral commissures.” Gordon explains that Restalane, newly approved for use in the U.S., helps the skin retain moisture, and lasts four to nine months. Unlike Botox, which his practice also offers, it does not paralyze the muscles. In another room, physician’s assistant Jane Jevons appears to be vacuuming people’s hands with a small wand-like object. This is micro-dermabrasion, and it leaves the skin soft and pol ished. I had imagined it as a tiny sander, but the device somehow employs micro-crystals and feels rather like a cat’s rough tongue on your skin. Finally, I witness an Oxygen Facial. This looks really soothing — aesthetician Jackie Maria applies various vitamin-laden oils to a woman’s face, neck and upper chest, then delivers a stream of cool, pure oxygen directly to her skin. These last two procedures interest me most because I’ve already made an appointment to get them — for research purposes only, of course — the following day.

r e v ie w th is LEAH RAINY, FIREFLY (Self-released, CD) Leah Rainy is a Massachusetts singersongwriter w ith some Vermont roots — she's a Bennington College grad and went to high school in Middlebury. The songs on Firefly, a CD project created by Leah and her husband Dan Oates

SANDRA WRIGHT, AFTER HOURS

last year, were taken in to a Martha's

(FEATURING BIG JOE BURRELL)

Vineyard recording studio as spare, acoustic ideas and were fleshed out

(Self-released, CD)

and jazzed up with many studio sidemen. That's a luxurious and often

lengthy recording situation th a t most musicians can only dream about because of the expense of studio time. The 11 tracks here are a mix of original pop songs and suburban jazz-bar bossa nova, all featuring Rainy's versatile, pleasant voice and too much studio production. She even sings two num bers in Portuguese, forcing a compari son w ith Astrid Gilberto. On some tracks, Rainy's vocals are overshadowed in the mix by the backup music; that's a mistake when one is trying to show case the songwriter and her material.

Firefly is not Getz/Gilberto, but it's not too shabby for a debut recording. R O B E R T R E S N IK

Sandra Wright, Vermont's "blues diva," has wowed countless fans w ith her big voice — so power fu l a microphone is almost superfluous. But even some longtime fans might be surprised by the delicate seduction w ith which she delivers jazz standards on the new After Hours. The nine-track disc was recently recorded and produced at Blue Minute Studios by Michael Sucher; the Montpelier pianist also plays here and is a member of Wright's lineup. So is the mellifluous bassist John Harris, and the band's former drummer Lloyd Herrman returns for these sessions as well. Big Joe Burrell is the special guest, and his saxophone accompaniment to Wright's voice is nothing short of spectacular. As the liner notes accurately suggest, "After Hours... is an affec tionate musical dialogue between two old friends and jazz greats." I t is the task of classic-jazz performers to demonstrate why the oldies are s till "standard" fare, and to make them sound fresh. Wright and company do ju s t that, amply verifying th a t the 1920s through '40s was a golden age of songwriting in America. Burrell, who ju s t turned 80, launched his musical career in th a t period, and his easy fam iliarity w ith these tunes allows him to greet them like old friends, slurring and sliding his way around great melodies while honoring their essence. The disc's opener, "Lover Man," immediately conjures a string of "s" words: slow, soft, sultry, smoky, sensual. This achingly melancholy tune is rainy-night jazz at its finest. Burrell's innovative accents sound sympathetic to Wright's lyrical lament; both simmer with restrained passion. The band then switches mood abruptly with a swinging rendition of Rodgers/Hart's "The Lady Is a Tramp." Sucheris piano work sparkles; Burrell's sax is lively and light. Harris' nimble bass and Herrman's frisky brush action anchor this romp and are perfectly mixed. After Hours continues in this vein: alternating slower, bluesier songs such as Ray Charles' "Funny (But I S till Love You)" w ith ja un tier ones such as "Bye, Bye Blackbird." Burrell breathes new life in to the 1924 chestnut " I t Had to Be You," accenting the dance on his instrument's upper register with a sassy squeak. Sucheris piano embellishment gives the well-known melody a suitably Tin Pan Alley feel. On the Gershwins' "The Man I Love," Wright's voice is rich and confident, even i f the lyrics express lonely wishful thinking. The accompanying sax work is dreamy. It's remarkable how a song at this barely moving pace can be so... moving. Wright ends the disc — all too soon — w ith "Sunday Kind of Love," a bluesy ballad th a t calls for her gospel-inflected prowess on both high notes and dusky, sexy low ones. The song simply pours out, liquid in its yearning. These tracks were nailed in ju s t one or two takes, and the sound is warm and intim ate. Clearly Wright and band were "in the zone" for After Hours; the ir performances seem as effortless as they are flawless. Fans of classic jazz couldn't ask for more — except to hear i t live.

THE PUZZLE

• As you can guess from her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to predict. Her preferences change from one week to the next. This week, as alwpys, the things she 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.)

During Fannie's Hollywood career she received a shiny SCAR. Her most attention-getting PUS was the novel Pearls Before Wine. Love letters had nothing to do with her PEN marriage to Ignatz "Nuts" Randy. WING to her exhibitionistic impulses, Fannie found herself in the hoosegow.

PULLING STRINGS Joseph Cashore realized his pup peteer potential when he was ju st 11. While he was performing a show for his family, his first marionette — made from clothespins, wood and a tin can — seemed to "take on a life of its own." Today, Cashore's child hood hobby has become his life's profession and his artistically impressive and astonishingly realistic creations are winning awards. The Pennsylvania artist has manipulated his one-of-akind wooden wonders for puppet purists in Europe, Asia and across North America. In "Simple Gifts," hand-held performers present touching vignettes exploring the human condition. Don't get strung out; comic moments and calming classical music by Vivaldi, Strauss, Beethoven and Copland lighten up the act.

MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 4:30 P.M.

Shaoul Sasson is a 98-year-old Iraqi Jew. Considering his advanced age and his traumatic past, you would think th a t his voice would quiver more. But his defiant, staccato Arabic punctures the air with the disquieting authenticity of someone whose story remained untold for far too long. When Sasson was in his sixties, he spent a year in the "Terminal Palace," a notorious to r ture chamber operated for decades by Iraq's Baathist regime. There, he was routinely beaten with metal rods and had 10 of his teeth broken while fellow Iraqis were skewered, hung on hooks and tortured alL around him. A prolonged silence lingered in the room as Sasson's image faded from the screen and the lights came up on an auditorium packed with Middlebury College students and gray-haired Vermonters last Thursday. At the podium stood Iraqi dissident Kanan Makiya, an advisor to the Iraqi National Congress and author of several books, including The Republic o f Fear, which for years was pub lished under a pseudonym. Makiya's 1992 documentary, Saddam's Killing Fields, won the Edward R. Murrow Award for best television documentary in foreign affairs. But his latest work, of which Sasson's story is one small part, may be Makiya's most enduring project yet: the Iraq Memory Foundation, a massive effort to docu ment some 30 years of Baathist atrocities and abuses. Modeled on the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., and similar projects in South Africa and Cambodia, the Iraq Memory Foundation w ill serve as a repository for the millions of documents and artifacts discovered by coalition forces in the last year. Makiya said he hopes th a t the foundation w ill help Iraqis build a new nation not on fierce Arab nationalism but on "the hum ility and frailty of what we did to ourselves during the 30 years

of darkness." An unapologetic supporter of the U.S.-led invasion, Makiya said th a t the American debate over WMDs and Bush's questionable ju stifica tio n for war often over looks the war's profound significance to the Iraqi peo ple.

Early music maestro Benjamin Bagby recounts the great medieval tale of Beow ulf and the monster Grendel in its original Anglo-Saxon with modern English supertitles. Accompanying his expressive tenor with a six-string lyre, Bagby transports listeners to the Middle Ages in a riveting recreation of a medieval bard chanting the oldest surviving epic in the Western literary canon.

BY ROB BREZSNY

F E B R U A R Y 2 6 -M A R C H 0 3

You can call Rob Brezsny, day or night, for your expanded weekly horoscope 1-900-950-7700. $1.99 per minute. 18 and over. Touchtone phone.

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): You know that library book you checked out in 1999 and still have in your bookcase? It’s time to return it to the library, preferably along with a partial payment. Remember the unconscious way you broke up with one of your old flames? It’s time to send an apolo gy. How about that dumb thing you did to sabotage your own hap piness once upon a time? Isn’t it about time you forgave yourself and shed your lingering remorse? Hell has frozen over, Aries. Pigs have grown wings. Make the atonements you thought you’d never make in a thousand years.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): University students in Poland have discovered an unexpected way to boost their grades: wearing red underwear while taking tests. Ever since researchers presented evidence of the “red underwear effect,” cloth ing stores have reported a run on scarlet-hued bras, underpants and boxer shorts around exam times. Maybe it’s merely the result of mass hysteria, but what difference does it make if it truly enhances the stu dents’ performance under pressure? I suggest you consider hopping on this trend, Taurus. What have you got to lose from regularly donning red skivvies during this, the finalexam phase of your yearly cycle?

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): If oil companies were given a green light to drill ^ask^.^gpii^lational Wildlife Refuge, they’d ultimately produce 42 million gallons of black gold every day. America’s depend ence on foreign oil would diminish, which might in turn reduce its inclination to use military force to ensure its supply. But there is a sim

pler way to accomplish the same goal. If the fuel efficiency of SUVs were boosted a mere three miles per gallon, America’s daily oil consump tion would decrease by 49 million gallons. I suggest you keep this sce nario in mind, Gemini, as you head towards a turning point in your per sonal life. Rather than exploit and pollute one of your natural talents for a seemingly good cause, I sug gest you seek an alternate way to accomplish that good cause. It may take a relatively minor adjustment.

tasks. RS. I suggest that you also cul tivate relationships with collabora tors who can help you attract resources you’ll need for a long time.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Lent is the period between Ash Wednesday and Easter when devout Christians commemorate the 40 days that Christ allegedly spent resisting the devil’s temptations in the wilder ness. Growing up Episcopalian, I was taught to imitate Jesus every year at this time by giving up something I had a strong attachment to. My usual choice was candy. It so happens, Virgo, that even if you’re not Christian, the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to renounce three experiences that you have become a bit addicted to. Those experiences are berating yourself, denying yourself pleasure and giving till it hurts. I urge you to give them all up between now and April 10.

THUNDERBIRD <*, known as Cancer) (June 21-July 22): In an effort to improve the image of the pit bull, New York City has offi cially changed the dog’s name to “New Yorkies.” I propose that we Crabs try a similar experiment. Isn’t it time we try shedding our linguistic connection with the killer disease? How about if for the next three weeks we call our sign “Thunderbird” or “Quantum Flux” or “Vanquisher” instead of “Cancer”? Let’s see if it stimulates subde changes in the way we think about ourselves. It’s the perfect time to try it. We’re currendy in an astrological phase when we have maximum power to transcend limitations.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s time for a check-in, Libra. What progress have you been making in your work on this year’s major assignment? As I suggested two months ago, you should expedite the dying of the Old You, preparing the way for the birth of the New You later in 2004. So have you been (July 23-Aug. 22): Let’s do taking brave steps to liberate yourself a check-in, Leo. In the first eight from the past? Have you opened weeks of 2004, how well have you yourself to the possibility of making taken advantage of the stellar radical departures from business-aswealth-building opportunities? Have usual? Do you whisper-the word you been doing the inner work nec “resurrection” to yourself as you fall essary to increase your value? Have -f* asleep each night? If you’ve been car you unleashed your imagination in ac rying out this qhest in even a halfquest to heal and supercharge your assed way, the coming week will relationship with money? Have you bring you a poignant gift. started to lay the groundwork for the livelihood you want to be doing (Oct. 23 Nov. 2 1): by March 1 , 2009? It’s prime time Your ability to speak moving words to intensify your efforts in all these and initiate useful changes is at a

peak. So is your knack for revealing your inner beauty and attracting the help and attention you want. How will you wield these awesome pow ers? Like a manipulative megalomani ac bent on ruling your little corner of the world, always angling for person al gain? Or like a fascinating fount of blessings, eager to share your wealth as you hunt down inspiring adven tures with relendess ingenuity?

Louisiana on the condition that she move there and oversee its operation. No thanks, she said. I advise you to be on the alert for meaningless honors and pseudo blessings like these, Capricorn. Don’t let them distract you from the real thing, which will arrive later.

SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 22-

18): At no time in the week ahead will you be struck by lightning, squeezed by a giant python or blindsided by an old nemesis. I do predict that an unexpected force will hit you upside your attitude, but it will be the kind that’s good for you. Here are some examples of what form this intervention might take. You could be splashed with a squirt gun by a friend who wants to break down an awkwardness or formality that has undermined your closeness; you could be hit with rolled-up socks thrown by a child who has something impor tant to tell you; or you may be hugged with surprising ferocity by a person who is suddenly sorry to have been taking you for granted.

Dec. 21): Northern California, the place I call home, has more spiritual workshops per capita than anywhere else on earth. On a given weekend, you can choose from yoga retreats, meditation classes, astrology intensives and a hundred other adventures in woo-woo. Grizzled veterans of the scene have a phrase to describe the attitude of workshop leaders who are overly proud of how enlightened they are — who ooze a pretentious solem nity that belies the divine grace they’re supposedly championing. The term is “stinky Zen.” It’s a perfect way to convey the fact that humorless selfimportance can sabotage even the finest ideals. Be on the alert for this stench, Sagittarius — not only in New Age types, but in everyone else, too.

CRUISING WITH A CAR CRITIC

H e a v y Sailing

he Invincible Armada”: I wonder why Nissan’s marketing boffins restrained themselves from labeling the company’s new frill-size sport/utility vehicle in this way. Is it just possible that someone has recalled the year 1588 and the miraculous tale of Spanish high-seas hubris smashed against the shoals of plucky litde England? Not that the analogy is out of place. Japan’s suc cessful invasion of the North American auto market is all but complete. What “all but” remains is that last bastion of Detroit’s Big Three automakers, whose dominance in full-size trucks and SUVs is now under withering attack from Toyota and, now, Nissan. Nesded deep behind enemy lines at its away-fromhome port of Canton, Mississippi Nissan is producing the full-size Titan pickup and both the Nissan Armada and Infiniti QX56 full-size SUVs. All three are equipped with monster powertrains based upon the 5.6-liter “Endurance” V8. These are American trucks for American tastes, and it is remarkable how diligently Nissan has plumbed the American psyche for guidance. Take Armada’s twin-cam powertrain, for example: Power is merely bold at 305 hp, but torque is fantas tic at 385 ft.-lbs. These are heavy-haulin’ credentials, to which the 9 100-lb. tow rating fully attests. (An optional, tow package is required.) A distinctly American touch is the carefully tuned exhaust note that burbles encouragingly within the cabin of the Armada, even as it bla-a-a-ts threateningly at the bystanders it passes on its way. Most all-American by far are the fuel economy ratings of 13 mpg/City and 18 mpg/Highway. These results are nothing short of dismal, of course; and they rival Fords Expedition for Worst in Class honors. But what bare-knuckled Yank would trust an Asian inter loper that couldn’t drink up like the best of ‘em? Within a chunky exterior that appears chiseled out of block granite is a truly cavernous interior with room for eight in standard trim. Opt for second-row captain’s chairs if you only need room for seven. Either way, ■*« Armada’s interior space is exemplary. Both second and

third rows fold com pletely flat, yielding pro gressively larger cargo space ranging from 20 cu. ft. behind the third row, 56.7 cubes behind row two and 97.1 cubes with all seats folded. Driving position in the Armada, although high, is very comfy, par ticularly with the assis tance of adjustable pedals. The five-speed automatic transmission is very well-mannered; and the optional automatic four-wheel-drive system on the Armada SE combines both ease of use with excellent “crawlability” in 4WD-High and 4WD-Low modes. Otherwise, 2WD is the default choice for the sake of mileage. Four-wheel independent suspension of the sophis ticated double-wishbone variety is a real plus, as are the ABS disc brakes at each corner. It must be said, however, that no amount of race-car suspension can disguise the fact that Armada is a big 5300-lb. box of steel on four 18-inch wheels. It is a lumbering beast. The Armada’s all-American status is best assured, unfortunately, by two circumstances that are surely unintentional flukes. A ratde under the cowl that sur-

mounts the driver’s instrument cluster provided annoy ing accompaniment during random stints of driving. And a “clang” of metal-on-metal when using the rear hatch evoked those urban legends of screwdrivers lost within body panels along the assembly tines of 1970s Detroit.
